Here my steps to get to the 360 hours waiting after I´ve bought this r5p yesterday as my 1st Xiaomi.

Info:

- I´m in Spain.

- the r5p came with the stable global rom Version: V9.5.3.0.NEGMIFA (MIUI9).

Failed tries to bind phone with Miui account -> error 86006:

- Different VPN apps to login from China on Miui servers.

- Logout, login and reboot.

Steps what was a success to get to waiting hours:

1)

Goto http://en.miui.com and set up an account. When pages go in Chines find on pages a link to go to English or use Chrome (right mouse button -> translate).

DON´T FORGET TO ACTIVATE ACCOUNT WITH CODE RECEIVED IN EMAIL. If you don´t do that you´ll never get to the form to ask unlock bootloader permission!!!

2)

After activated account under point 1 goto http://en.miui.com/unlock/ -> follow steps to get to the form.

3)

Fill the form for permission to unlock bootloader (This is given to your account and NOT your phone yet -> we bind the phone to account later after we get the permission).

BE AWARE: give/write an reason to unlock by yourself and NEVER copy from others or they refuse the permission -> ALSO WRITE IN ENGLISH WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OR NUMBERS, just use letters.

Submit the form -> Wait till you receive a SMS that permission is granted (can take up to 10 days, but with me it was within 1 day). The phone number for SMS can be any number.

4)

After you´ve received the SMS with permission go to the link in the SMS or login your MIUI account -> download and install the MiFlash Unlock App .

5)

Unlocking attemps before binding your phone with your Miui account will not be successfull. So to bind the phone, after I got every time error 86006 I did the following.

6)

Goto http://www.xiaomitool.com/ -> download and install -> open app and follow the steps/tests to set the phone up to recover to a ROM that works to bind your phone to your account.

7)

In the screen where you can choose the ROM you want to recover/install choose the latest Globl Dev rom (in my case was Version 8.3.29 (MIUI9)) -> install/flash this ROM.

8)

After rebooting (can take some time) in this Global Dev Rom set your phone up with Internet connection (WIFI or data) and login in your Mi Account.

9)

goto settings -> about phone -> tap several time MIUI versions till message developer options are enabled.

10)

goto settings -> additional settings (system & devices) -> developer options -> enable OEM unlocking and enable USB debugging (handy) -> tap MI unlock Status -> tap "Add account and device"!

This did the trick for me to bind the phone to the Miui account without any problems.

11)

Open the on your PC the MiFlash Unlock app -> login with your Miui account with granted permission -> app check if you have permission -> yes, it guides you how to connect your phone to the PC.

12)

After successful connecting phone to PC/Miflash Unlock you can do the unlocking!!!! In my case after 99% it said come back in 360 hours!

Ok thats it in detail my success in the frustrating process and I hope it will help some of you to get to the countdown clock.

Regards,

Ron

You´re in Indonesia....Unlocking bootloader seems not possible (anymore).

Sorry for that...Xiaomi should solve that!

I am in India. Would this work for me ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] ajegile:
yes , i from from indonesia , other way.....sell this phone and buy another warranty (official guarantee lock bootloader , but distribution warranty unlock)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] stefaca:
Is there any solution for unlocking or just try/error and if pass > OK :D

Thank You :)

P.S i unbricked my phone with Test-Point method, if anybody is interested to know.

If many people do the same then dev or higher management will know that this is the last option left to unlock bootloader
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Stampyron:
I think Xiaomi already knows, they just don't care
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Preetam Kumar:
So my idea is if we spam we will force them to take some steps to fix 86006 error
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Stampyron:
In my opinion you're just waisting your time, if Xiaomi wants to fix the problem they would already fix it

So I followed everything, flashed china developer rom using testpoint method, but I am stuck at the part of binding account again. VPN didn't work. Always gives me 86006 error. I switched back to global rom. Any hope?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] ecrudragon:
Which VPN are you using?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] mayukh2000:
Plex VPN, That one given in the post, fly VPN, and some others.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Sp_Ark:
Installed China stable with test point and successfully binded account with no vpn. Thanks everyone for the info I found in this topic. Never had such issues with previous xiaomi phones I wander why this process instead of getting easier is getting more and more complicated.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Stampyron:
Because Xiaomi doesn't want you to unlock your phone, just like most manufacturers out there:rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] mayukh2000:
Congratulations, you're among the lucky ones! I flashed china dev rom but can't bind account.

No need to bind account

1. Go to i.mi.com

2. Login using your phone number

(But your phone number should be registered first to the mi account)

3 . Click on upgrade account

4. Click on send otp

(You'll get otp to registered number)

5. Enter otp

6. On main page click locate device

(It'll locate your device on map and in top right corner you should see only one device i.e. rn5/p)

Then minimise the browser

Put your phone in fastboot mode and unlock with mi flash tool

Hey guys ..hope u doin well

I have a great tutorial for unblocking ur redmi note 5 / redmi 5 plus device code name (vince)

Pre-requisites

1-a operatable pc

2- install all drivers .if needed install mi pc suit

3-apply for permission ,ofcource get granted with it.

Now, head towards ur device open,

Settings⤴️ additional ⤴️enable oem unlocking and all necessary stuff.( Debugging)

Once check out mi unlock status....and get a 86006 error

** Open ur mi cloud and see weather ' find device' is enabled or not

Then open gps .and locate ur device using

I.mi.com ** important

Then head to pc

I asume all drivers are in working stage

Just put ur device on fastboot

Login in mi unlock tool

And click 'unlock any way'

Walla!! Successful

*I waited approx. 10-15 days after permission was granted ,so if u wanna be one of the fortunate people out there u need to wait *

Factory unlocked?

Hi Guys, whenever i boot my redmi 5 plus, appears this little open padlock with the legend "unlocked" below the MI logo, is this referring to the bootloader, or the SIM?

By the way, the box says GLOBAL VERSION, has MIUI 9.5 and was bought in Mexico from telcel.

Thanks!

Hello, I just got Vince on hands and I never experiencing any case like this before, even with Capricorn. It installed 9.2.3.0 version by default and the strange thing is it came with unlocked bootloader. Does it means my phone belongs to Fake Global but unlocked bootloader? Thank u in adv.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] raizor6th:
I just unlocked my rm5+ with the mi account that I used to log in at my rmn3pro. My first attempt to unlock was mi flash says "device is unlocked no need to unlock" but the verify device is marked red X then there is an option in mi flash says "unlock again?" So I chose the unlock again and mi flash continues then went on to say successfully unlocked and reboot.

Was it that I was lucky or it is just xiaomi made it easy today.

Who the heck cares? Once you've unlocked bootloader you can install any rom you want
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Well, me too, I bought it in the first batch from a chinese supplier, it's not really a fake global rom, is the same global rom but with a bootloader modified for your device (something similar to engboot file for Samsung devices) chinese hackers did this to can offer them with a global rom.

Some miui roms will detect it like locked but don't worry about. I don't know you but the issue is that I can't flash with miflashtool but with TWRP no worry about that {by now}
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Rayquaza:
Well I ignored the fake states as you said. Going to install twrp by cmd, but after typed command fastboot boot recovery.img it wont boot up to twrp. Did you face it? Any other way to install twrp?

Dear sir

How to root my device redmi note 5 with out computer.please halp me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
I newly read your post. By fortune I got fastboot at the first time, cause the rom out the box didn´t boot and installed TWRP by fastboot and solved the issue inmediately. You have to confirm that really your bootloader is unlocked, typing in fastboot mode fastboot oem device-info then when you are sure you can attempt to flash something onto device or you can brick it (soft).

If you are sure then try flashing definitely TWRP, not temporarily, typing fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img before this is your device is booting put in your sdcard Magisk and lazy flasher/no-verity/antibootloop zip (maybe you need them) then inmediately to flash reboot to recovery without power on before to prevent that recovery stock overwrite custom.

If this don´t work report, there is other method

May I ask how you do it?

When I try to unlock using a second Mi account with MiUnlockTool it says This Device is not paired to this account, and when I do pair with the new It says 360 Hours wait to unlock...

If I go back again to my first account it starts the same message ,saying this device is not paired to this account, after you do , and try to unlock it starts again at 360 Hours.

What am i doing wrong? :confused:

Both accounts are new 1-2 weeks, are yours older Mi accounts?

thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] IgorIgor84:
You bind your original account, then go to mi flash unlock, log with that account and then unlock...there is message about 360 hours...

After that unplug phone, reboot it. Then on phone log out from that account and log in with new one.

Go to developer options, check oem unlocking and usb debugging, and when you there just reboot it in fastboot....DO NOT BIND THAT NEW ACCOUNT!!!

Open mi flash unlock, log in with new account, connect phone and click unlock.

Voila!!!! There's super cool green message bout succesful unlocking :)
