I guess that, as others said, it's because the Redmi 5 is considered "old" by Xiaomi so they don't impose any waiting time

Ok I don’t know what people did but for me its still not working. My original EU account shows 68hr left. If I log in with US created account I still get wait 168HR.. so I guess I just have to stick with EU account and wait another 68HR. Also this EU account is my original account where I got binding error before, considering I’ve already unlocked bootloader on Mi A1 before using same account. Strange how some people get no waiting time and instant unlock.

Even If I created new EU account still 168hr wait
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] aqwxsz21:
You should read the thread before saying it doesn't work. People who don't have a waiting time have either already waited the 168h or have an old device, Xiaomi remove the waiting time for old devices as I said multiple times.

I am also getting the same error when I was going to unlock the bootloader of Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime (land). I was Fred up of using MIUI 10 in this device and I want to install a custom rom of higher Android version. Please send help
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] cedric3320:
hello everyone, i have the same problem but just now (09h50 UTC +2) the message error change from "please rebind and try again" to " your account is not authorized to unlock" .... I use an 10 years old mi account so i don't undertand what happen
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
No i mean that i think that people who already waited 168 hours May have to wait again. Thats the only thing You are asked not to do while unlocking your phone... Logging in with another miaccount.

For me, Thats my first 168 hours.

There are 3 options for people who already waited.

1. Just sit it out and wait for xiaomi to fix the Server issue. May be today or in 2 weeks, No one knows

2. Follow the instructions and create and link a New Mi account and be lucky that you can unlock right away

3. As 2 but you'll have to wait 7 days again.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
It seems You forgot to Go into your developer options and register for the unlock. The Option there is called Mi unlock Status.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] damjan778899:
Thanks for lengthy explanation. I think this one implies 168 hours wait.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] cedric3320:
Hello eazY_91, i have register for unlock in developer options (this is not my first unlock xiaomi bootloader) . i face this message error since the waiting time for unlocking (168h) is exceeded... thanks for your quick reply :) but still have the same problem
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
Actually i don't think so.

As you can See here

AndyBGD14 were able to unlock right away
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
Maybe xiaomi is working on a fix already.

If you are brave enough try the explanation with a New Mi account to unlock. (i wouldnt tough, for me it wasnt an issue As my 168 hours Just started) if you Look at andys screen in the quoted message He unlocked successfully

Morning!

I tried to create a new Mi account by using Google but it remains the same

Also, any of you have issues activating the "Find my device" service? Mine is turned off and I can't enable it :/
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] DeadRabbit62:
When I try to log in with my google account, it prompts me to log into my old mi account since they have the same email. Do I need a new google account as well?

Or I think it is due to the phone number. Do I need a new phone number for that?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
Sure the Google Account will have to be a different Email than ur old mi account.

And it has to be added to your phone as mi looks there.

For the phone number, No you dont need a New one. After successfully registering with ur Google Account u can add ur current phone number to your New Mi account. You will Get a prompt saying that the number is linked to another account and when pressing ok it will be deleted from it and added to your New one.

So create a New Google Account and add it to your phone.

Create a New Mi account while choosing your New Google account with it (be Sure to choose US area while registering)

Add a password in the options and add your old mobile number.

You are good to go
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
You created it with US area?

After successfully linking your phone number and adding a password?

You went into developer options and clicked on Mi unlock status again?

No issues here with find my device
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
Same phone here. No problems with a New Mi account after following the procedures here in the thread
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] damjan778899:
I created a new MI account in the United States. Now I have to wait 168 hours.

The good news is that I can move my device between MI accounts, and on the old account where I already did the 168 hours I don't have to do it again. So it seems 168 hours is only once on each new MI account+device pair.

So now I have:

1. old MI account with 168 hrs done ("Please rebind and try again")

2. new MI account in Unites States with 168 hours ticking away ("Please wait 168 hours bla bla")

It seems I can transfer device back and forth between the two accounts.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] vinylmeister:
So, as I have new Mi 10T Pro and waited 168 hours for unlocking my phone, I came across search engine to this thread and f*** pissed. Can´t unlock with bind error. I hope this will be fixeds within 1 or 2 days, or I will return this device and never go back to xiaomi. Will not change account to anything else and wait another 168 hours.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] eazY_91:
Completely understandable.

So Just wait it out, xiaomi is surely trying to fix it. Hopefully within the next 7 days, Else the other way would be faster.

Depends on luck now.

Im Actually Sure now that u will have to wait the 7 days again even if they fix the Server before.

With ur old Account, once it can connect to Mi unlock again, there will probably a message telling that the phone is linked to another account

Just read the thread. I explained it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] Chenkaiser:
Yes, I had the developer options enabled. It finally worked, but creating a new Mi account through another PC. My mistake was to use only the phone to create it. Thank you anyway :)

For everyone else, there is no need to use a Google account as the only important step seems to be to create the MI account under US region. After that you can use a phone from another country with its own country code if you need to.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] DeadRabbit62:
You didn't have to wait the 169h? I managed to create the new US account but have to wait unfortunately.. what exactly did you do?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] Chenkaiser:
Sorry, I didn't mention that finally appeared the 168 hours waiting message. Prior to that only appeared the rebind error.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] damjan778899:
Ahhh. ;)

The "rebind" appears after the "168 hours". You'll see "rebind" error on your new mi account in about 168 hours. ;)

You are in the same situation as me - having an old and a new account. The blind leading the deaf. ;)

Hopefully xiaomi fixes the server, we are not getting anywhere with these instructions.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] Chenkaiser:
I received the "rebind" error since my first attempt yesterday and after several of them today. This only changed after creating the new account in US this morning. I'm not from that country.

If this user could make this work with this easy how-to, the rest of us should be able too:

https://xdaforums.com/t/mi-unlock-t...dy-encounter-this-error.4445283/post-86888859

Anyway, thank you for being so rude. I only was explaining my own situation.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] Thibobo:
i'm having the same issue with my poco x3 pro, i linked my mi account last week & got the message that i needed to wait 168hrs, i checked today and got the rebind message instead of the amount of hrs i needed to wait until i can unlock my bootloader. I hope it's fixed tomorrow so i can finally unlock it after a week of waiting!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] damjan778899:
Apologies if I came across as rude. I think we are all going in circles. We all hope somebody has found a solution. For me the "rebind" appears after the 168 hours. So far it seems there is only one person who claims he has found a solution and the rest of us, it appears, we were not able to replicate the said solution.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] AndyBGD14:
When you create a new mi account (on the phone) there should ask you the region(there you select the united states)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] xb4ckd00r123:
can't even do that anymore now it tells me "can't add more account to this sim card" when trying to link the device in mi unlock status rip
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] AndyBGD14:
1.Sign out from your mi account

2.Create a Mi account with google(!create the account using the phone!)(use a new google account that is not somehow linked to your mi account)

3.Select US when you need to select the region

4.After you created the account go to developer and add it to mi unlock

5.Now unlock the phone with mi unlock tool

I didn t have to wait i was able to unlock it right away
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] smuggler01:
Had the same problem (please rebind...) when trying to unlock my Mi9t today after 1 week waiting. Solution is as described - creating new account with US region. Then I don't have to wait another week and my phone is just unlocked now. Maybe it isn't obligatory but I used another phone number when creating an account. Good luck!

Ciao a tutti, mi sono appena iscritto a questo forum perché ho lo stesso problema. Penso che sia stato il primo a ricevere questo errore :) infatti venerdì mattina alle 8.00 sono scadute le 168 ore per sbloccare il mio 11t pro e purtroppo ho ricevuto subito quel messaggio. Ho fatto tutte le prove possibili anche con la creazione di un nuovo account ma senza risultato. Ho pensato subito fosse un problema relativo ai server xiaomi ma il mio dubbio è: se dovessero ripristinare tutto, il contdown riparte o tengono conto delle 168 ore già trascorse?

Mod Edit: English Translation Below

Hi everyone, I just joined this forum because I have the same problem. I think he was the first to receive this error :) in fact, on Friday morning at 8.00 the 168 hours to unlock my 11t pro expired and unfortunately I immediately received that message. I did all the possible tests even with the creation of a new account but to no avail. I immediately thought it was a problem related to xiaomi servers but my doubt is: if they had to restore everything, the contdown restarts or do they take into account the 168 hours already passed?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] xb4ckd00r123:
Penso proprio che siano i server in alcuni paesi che non stanno funzionando, immagino tu abbia impostato il tuo mi account in italia come me, speriamo che presto smetta di darci please rebind e che ce lo sblocchi... Speriamo di non dover riaspettare le 168 ore...

Mod Edit: English Translation Below

I really think it is the servers in some countries that are not working, I guess you have set up your my account in Italy like me, we hope you will soon stop giving us please rebind and that you will unlock it ... We hope we do not have to wait for 168 hours...

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE here. I've waited to unlock the phone using regular account and today I got the "Please rebind and try again error." message.

Bought a new SIM card, created a new MI account with Google, using US region. After trying to unlock, I got the usual "Wait 168 hours." message. This does NOT magically skip the waiting period, but seems to fix the "Please rebind and try again error." issue.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] vuoshinotizy:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] vuoshinotizy:
Its like a no sense. They join the beta program but dont allow to unlock the bootloader...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5g Questions & Answers] AzureusPT:
Not sure what happened over MI servers, but for what I've seen in this post and others it seems the current MI Accounts have an error that prevents unlocking.

In my case I just registered a new MI Account as suggested, but didn't use Google for that, just registered a new account with an email, then I was able to login with the same account in the MiUnlockTool and unlock the phone without issues. It seems you don't require now to request unlock permissions as it was previously needed.

Regarding the wait times, it might be tied to the terminal itself. The terminal I attempted was already unlocked and relocked when I though I could sell it, so in my case I already waited the X time requested from MI to be able to unlock it.

To summarize the steps:

1) Remove the current (not working) MI Account from the device.

2) Create a new MI Account. In my case I created it from the device itself using a normal email account, not using Gmail or Google SSO.

3) Enable ADB's USB debugging: Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging

4) Enable OEM unlock: Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > OEM Unlocking

5) Ensure device is binded: Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status > Add account and device.

7) Either power off and power on + volume down or plug the device to a PC and use ADB to reboot to bootloader (fastboot)

8) Launch MiFlashUnlock and login with the same account created in step 2. It might ask for a phone number if you didn't provide one.

9) Unlock de bootloader. Depending on the device it can work inmediatelly or make you wait X amount of time.

TL;DR: Create a dummy MI account and try with that one instead.

I also try now with us account, now have to wait 7 days, not amused.

To create a us region account:

use a mi app like MI HOME, MI WIFI, .. to create account with email address.

There you can select region.

If you first bind phone to this account, it will tell you that your phone number is connected to other account.

You can bind phone number to new account, old account will not be erased, it only has no phone number connected, so keep in mind to know email address and password of old account.

This works for me.

To do it directly on phone i got error 1001 and was not able to generate new mi account with new phone number!

Hope this will work.

Okay guys after a bit of testing i found a version that displays the amount of hrs you need to wait correctly until you can unlock, i'm new here so i don't know if i can post links to the download. Version is miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24

for me i need to wait 13hrs and that's correct, i'll wait and try with this version to unlock my bootloader

EDIT:

i see this tool has a different name, it's not miflash unlock tool but batch unlock tool.

Is this official from xiaomi or is this third party software? also the latest version of this batch unlock tool (miflash_unlock-en-6.5.421.8) also seems to work correctly, but i would have like to know if this batch unlock tool is an official tool from xiaomi like the miflash unlock and what is the difference between these tools?

I started getting the "Your account is not authorized to unlock" in Mi unlock status, this is actually insane. Now I can't even get to the step I could when starting the thread. Incredible!

As a last resort, I tried to make a new account through the Google authenticator. Everything was going smoothly, I changed the region to US as many in here wrote and even added the recovery phone with no issues.

When I got around to add the Mi account in Mi unlock status... BOOOM! "Can't add more account to this SIM card". Are you f***ing kidding me? Is this really happening? HOLY F***ING S***T. I was sooo close to throwing the phone out my window.

I was so done... but, then an idea sparked through my brain. Switched my brother's sim with mine, changed the recovery phone on the US account. He deosn't have a xiaomi, so... who cares if I bind his phone number to this account. Everything went as expected, but this time I was able to add the account in Mi unlock status.

My heart was actually racing when I clicked on the unlock button in the Mi unlock tool and...
