"How many devices can I use the same account on?"

It seems to me it's 3.

For unlocking with hyperOS, the rules have changed, a device that has already been unlocked counts in the number of devices per month, which was not the case with MIUI.

You can only unlock the bootloader of 3 devices per year with your account.

And we have to use the app every time.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kevin mitnick:
im faced this too..

ive tried on c:\php, nothing work
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
Hey i have 2 account that have permisson from mi community, both did not work mi cloud isactivated.

however it still says phone not activated, the phone does appear in devices in mi cloud including the phone numbers . still same error using HYPERSPLOIT works for the time to appear both in both cases after the time it revereted to the same error device not activated. its indeed a global purche direct purchase from mi the board was replaced by mi itselft and the screen too. and its indeed MX version and usb debugging and usb debugging secuirty and oem unlock are all enabled.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
I forgot to include but my phone is a redmi11 global version verfied by imei
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
What is the code name of the phone?

If you don't know it/settings/my phone/characteristics/model or on the box.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
nothing to se here
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
it should be spes or 2201117TG
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Ok,Delete the image where the IMEI appears or hide it.

If HyperOS just have authorization with Xiaomi community app then use MiUnlock, if MIUI just MiUnlock.

The sim must be activated on the Xiaomi account on the phone as well as the location.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
Done, are any ways i could? somehow unlock the bootloader? edl? i been waiting for 3 months for now and it refuses by just saying device not activated
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] protectorx90:
I assume i need a new account for the Xiaomi Community App and wait 30 days? Accounts on mi.com do not count?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
The account is here.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] protectorx90:
Thank you. But this is what i meant. I've logged in into the Xiaomi Community app with my 3 year old account and it says 0 Days in the community. So i guess you have to register seperately in the community app and than wait for 30 days.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
It's the same account that is used, perhaps not active enough.

Edit:

Afterwards the servers reset at midnight Chinese time.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] protectorx90:
@NOSS8

Yes maybe that is the case. I could simply pass my account data without having really to register, but it is says 0 days active. Well... as long as it is working after the 30 days...
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] mthm15729:
So this way don't require a sim card though?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
The sim card is always necessary.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Tool192:
Hi all, so i managed to get approved in Mi community app, but when i go to bind account it still says go to mi community for authorization... any1 else with same problem?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sithhy™:
Hey,

Not sure if you guys will be able to help me with this but I'm at wits end... Got myself a Poco X5, runs on Global HyperOS & when I tried to unlock the bootloader all was well until I got the MiUnlock stage where after logging in, I had to add my phone number to my Mi account as for some reason it hasn't been added before. Now, the problem is that in MiUnlock I'm unable to select the country code for my country; the search box acts as if it's not expanded despite me clicking on the country number selection & the list actually expanding but am not able to actually click on anything there. After pressing the Tab key a bunch, I managed to get into the search box for the country code & input my code but I'm still unable to select it as the list acts as if it's transparent or not there at all as I can highlight the text behind it.

Tried to add my phone number through my phone in the Mi Account settings but I see no option there to do so despite it saying that a phone number is not connected :rolleyes: Had to reset the phone number through account.xiaomi.com site but will need to wait 3 days for any reply regarding it...
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Did not understand everything.

For unlocking with hyperOs use this method:

⚙️How to unlock bootloader on Xiaomi HyperOS(all devices).

Only for GLOBAL devices. 1/Check here that your device is Global and not CN with a Global ROM. https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirements...

xdaforums.com

Check that your phone appears here and that Xiaomi localization is activated:

Xiaomi Cloud

Sync your contacts, messages, photos, notes, and other items with Xiaomi Cloud to be able to access them from all connected devices. Use Find device to locate or remotely erase data on your device if it's lost.

us.i.mi.com

This still remains valid:

Xiaomi Community

new.c.mi.com

Apply for unlocking Mi devices

en.miui.com
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sithhy™:
The issue I'm having is that my Mi account does not have a number attached to it for some reason & I also cannot add the number to the account through Mi Unlock as it doesn't let me choose a country code. Same thing goes for trying to add it through account.xiaomi.com. Trying to do it through my phone using the Xiaomi Account setting, I see no such option hence I cannot proceed with unlocking the bootloader
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Ok, log out on the phone then go to the PC account and delete the phone and create a new account.

Try with another version of Mi Unlock.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sithhy™:
Won't I need to wait a month after that to have a good enough account to try unlock the phone?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Maybe, but I don't understand why you can't add a phone number to the Xiaomi PC account.

Since for the first time to activate the account you receive an SMS.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sithhy™:
Well, good news everyone. I managed to find & download the latest version of Mi Unlock in which after launching the program, a separate window for entering all my credentials. When it asked for my phone number, it automatically picked up my country code & I managed to input my phone number after which all went smoothly. Now I just have to wait 69 hours till I will be able to unlock the phone properly, which I'm fine with, altough it does suck
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Ok, that came from the Miflash version but as you have a Hyperos ROM you could get this error at the end of the waiting time:
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sithhy™:
What would I need to do in that case? I'm following the official unlock procedure written on the MIUI forum for my country & they don't mention any error like that despite the guide being for HyperOS which was written 4 weeks ago
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
You went through the direct method which is still valid for Miui devices and the new method applies to Global devices with hyperOs.

And even those with MIUI have this error.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Sithhy™:
My model is a Global EU model so I guess this will work fine for me then? As I said, the guide I'm following on the website for my country does not specify any errors like that so I was hopeful it all will go smoothly when the time is up
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
You will see if it works or not and do not believe that this site is a reference for problems, otherwise there would be no threads on XDA reporting this problem since September 2023, it has not been for several years, just a site to sell Xiaomi.

The method has to change for the hyperOs versions, initially for the CN devices(No longer possible to unlock them unless you are Chinese living in China) then this method recently appeared for the Global versions and this is not a coincidence.

For Cn devices it is a government decision and perhaps Xiaomi when changing the settings on the servers made some errors which impacted Global devices in MIUI, which would corroborate the number of posts on XDA for this problem.

Some pass without problems while others with the same devices have the problem.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
i do have permission, for mi community and mi cloud and find my device is indeed activated
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Activation of the SIM is done with an SMS sent to Xiaomi, check if your plan allows it.

Or by activating:

With a factory reset, you can activate it during configuration

You have to use the data.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
wait i have to do a factory reset? i already activated it before i did the mi unlock
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Has the motherboard been changed since then?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
its already synced?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
Changed by xiaomi repair service 2022
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Ok,so you connect to MIunlock and there is an error, right?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
yes device is not activated
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Did the IMEI change after changing the motherboard?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
Unfortunately, since repair was 2 years ago I wasn't able to check
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Seen the image posted the Imei is on Xiaomi servers.

Try:

Remove Miunlock and reinstall it at the root of the disk and log in with the QR code at the top right then run the program as administrator.

Check before:

​
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
You mean put the miui unlock folder at the root of the disk? And check the miui driver?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
Sorry uhh new to the forum wanst able to paste the two pictures at the same time, well it still um returing the error despite doing all the steps? how hard is it to just unlock the bootloader it should be very simple
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Ok, no need to post these images.

What date appears on Xiaomi community?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
I checked the receipts the change form the original one to the changed one

Acess/bootloader unlock permission is until 06/12/2025
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
This error sometimes happened with MIUI but with hyperOS it is even more common.

Try with an older version of MiUnlock.

Otherwise delete your device from the account on the PC and log out on the phone and try again.

If unsuccessful, same procedure but create a new account, I know 30 more days.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
how old? i have verstion 7 6 and 5
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
I use versions 4 and 5 but that does not prevent me from having the same problem with my 12 pro which has already been unlocked several times.

It's just to try.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
tried version 5, did not work soo ill try to remove the device using mi cloud web broswer version, and then set the phone to global or US then make a new account. I get back here and tell if it works or not. or if i find a new solution wish me luck. Anyways Thanks seems like a too much common issue
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] HasinthaSri:
Hi! does this solution still work? I have an Mi11 bought from china with HyperOS already updated. can I unlock the bootloader somehow? please let me know. thanks
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
This device was released with MIUI and unlockable.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jefffrom:
will this get past the ounce a month unlock restriction ? unlocked it 1st of the month then my drunkin brain for got to hit clean only and relocked it the same day Douh! now I have to wait a month again :censored:
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Unlocking will be done in the same way as the first time, from the following month.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] sarumans:
Hello. I buy a redmi note 12 just 3 weeks ago. There is hyperos can i unlock and root? Can you help me please? Thanks
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Yep, you can, your Xiaomi account must be at least 30 days old.

This depends on the results below.

And post the result of:

Thanks a lot
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:

[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
The code seems different how is this rom different form the standard global rom, i feel like this is a phone carrier rom
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Nope, HyperOS EEA rom for redmi note 12 4G.

Thanks, uhh I asked in MI shop, well it's not exactly the repair center and it's more of the shop guy knows another guy that can "unlock bootloader" said they can't unlock it like damn this is starting to be hopeless.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Wait 30 days for the new account.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] sarumans:
me too?

yes i bought the phone in italy
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
See the OP.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
just a reminder that the desktop Mi Unlock app does show more detail in the logs, default location is %APPDATA%/Xiaomi/miflash_unlock/Log/ or you can click 'Log Path' button in app settings

Spoiler content hidden.

Apparently if your xiaomi account is too old it will have been stored on china servers even though its a global account which can cause the unlock application to fail in Xiaomi Community app with "Account Error please try again after mm/dd <$DATE>" (wait for <$DATE>, try again, same error)

Source

Did a search before posting and can see a few other people with the same error wondering what is going on - can anyone else facing this problem confirm if their xiaomi account is old? Or if anyone who had this error managed to overcome it?

In CF log this seems to be a problem with "sandbox" is this likely windows defenser? i am not aware that windows defense has a sandbox?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
Nothing to do with defender/antivirus. It's the miflash_unlock.log you are interested in!
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
what should i look out for? i only see adjusting windows variables
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
After the environment variables are listed it should list running processes and then the actual app logs. Should be a line like

DEBUG <$TIMESTAMP> : miflash_unlock start

It's going to be impossible to tell you with such little information (what are you trying to do, what steps have you taken to do it, what is the step that is going wrong). Try to get an idea of what happens when you click buttons instead of just working out what buttons you are supposed to click..?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
The problem does not come from MiUnlock but from Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
Ahh I thought I had seen posts where mi unlock failed even with correct account permissions and was pointing out you can usually find the reason for failure in the logs...
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
When you get the message "this device is not activated" it means that communication with the Xiaomi servers is working and therefore Miunlock is working.

This problem already existed with MIUI but got worse with HyperOS.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
Didn't see that post, just talk of trying old app versions but no mention of comparing the logs..

Seeing as I can't get past the 'apply for unlock in community app' stage I think I'll go back to lurking lol :)

delete the data from the app then uninstall it, reboot and install the app from the Google store.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
Already tried with no success, also tried on different device - same result. Have reached out to xiaomi community mods (who have passed the issue on to the China team) but if past experience is anything to go by I will be lucky to have any more contact from them...

For your issue can you provide screenshots of xiaomi account sync settings and device status under xiaomi account?

[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
As already said, try with a new account.

Don't expect to get a response from them.

I no longer have a problem with Xiaomi after 10 years with it, I gave my 12 pro to my son and bought a Samsung.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] aolex:
oh!, I'm curious to why did you move after that many years...

and I do hope you'll still be here, since you help a lot around here!
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
1/HyperOS is worse than Miui (battery life) and will perhaps be fully optimized in a few months or years or never.

2/My 12 pro has been locked and unlocked several times and now impossible to unlock it.

3/the AOSP roms are identical but this is due to Google.

This is just a summary, there are lots of other things that are wrong and at this level Samsung is better.

But I am always here to help Xiaomi users.;)
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Zayonx:
Yup same issue here

Had a very old xiaomi account that i've never used (Don't know why) and been having this exact error.

I'm an IOS user, needed a ROOTED android, made the mistake to buy a xiaomi now I have a brick lmao

Should I just make a new account and painfully wait for the 30 days then ?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
I mean it can't hurt, might as well get that 30 day timer started and hope the issue gets resolved before the timer expires.

Have you sent a PM to the OP of This thread as he suggests? I'd recommend trying that as well ;)
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
With them it's very simple, it's your fault, buy another device:ROFLMAO::

How to trouble shoot

Please make sure you always use the official purchase and service channels.

You can send me a private message if you want to check whether or not your purchase order is available. You then need to contact Xiaomi Support or your local service center. Contact information can be found here: mi.com/global/support/contact
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
Aren't they just saying 'if you cannot activate ensure the device (or part) hasn't been reported stolen/blacklisted?' I take it you are confident there's no way that could apply to your device - what happens when you try to activate?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
There are 2 kinds of problem:

The one where everything is activated, sim+find my device and the error arrives with Miunlock.

The second or the SIM activation SMS does nothing.

This was an existing problem with Miui that could be resolved by granting data exceptions for certain apps that were necessary for activation but no longer work.

The problem comes from Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
What country are you in? What error arrives in mi unlock in issue 1? What did the logs have to say on the matter?

For 2, what is a data exception and why is it no longer effective? Pretty sure there are logs for that on the device in /MIUII/debug_log, what did they siggest caused the error?

Finally, how can both issues be active?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
As I told you, this device has already been unlocked several times and with HyperOS as well.

I changed nothing on the phone and I can no longer activate the SIM on the Xiaomi account.

I tried everything, that's why I say that the problem comes from Xiaomi.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] jwchips:
Yeah you have mentioned that a few times but I'm not seeing the facts that led you to decide that, and you seem reluctant to supply them.

I'm not even saying you are not totally correct, I'm just asking for the technical details in the hopes of learning something

So, with that said, will you reconsider sharing your log files?

You've contacted your mobile carrier to confirm the sms was successfully sent I assume, in order to rule them out (barring international sms for example)?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
I no longer have the phone and it was reset before I gave it away.

I've had the same plan for years and I'm not the only one to have had this problem, there was also a Poco X3 pro that I never managed to unlock for the same reason and it was with MIUI.

I remember that at a certain time, when you lived in Europe, SMS sent to the UK.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] kibo no shirei kan:
Wait I might ask if carrier blocks international sms Just assumed that mi will throw an error if, it did get blocked
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Nope, no error messages.

None, goes through a third-party paid service.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] danicosas:
I managed to unlock it with the Xiaomi Community app and waiting for it to be 00h at night, China Mainland time.

I've waited 3 days for it to unlock, and just now that I've started to do it, I get a message about unlocking Mi Unlock, the same message as if the process was to be done from scratch.

However, going back to the unlock option in the Xiaomi Community app, I get a message that I have permission to unlock the device for a year.

Does anyone know why I can't finally unlock it?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Waleedaligomaa:
have you managed to solve this ? facing same problem
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Tool192:
Nope, so as i understand it, you can't really unlock chinese phone anymore. So i just decided to use Chinese version, it has almost no difference, i deleted chinese blotware installed google play through apk, set up my launcher and i see no difference from global version. I can confirm that everything on phone works normally, gps, banking, updates...
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Tool192:
It doesn't work well on mobile phone, i did that on pc, worked fine.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] danicosas:
Yes, I managed to make progress at this point. Simply log out the Mi account, reboot the phone, log in my account and already gave me valid user. Now the problem I have in the Mi Unlock, it does not work despite being approved to unlock and wait the 72 hours.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] danicosas:
I got authorization to unlock my Xiaomi 14 from the Xiaomi Community app.

I was able to link my account correctly from the developer options.

I waited 72 hours and when I tried to unlock it with Mi Unlock, it gave me the same error as if I had done nothing previously. Does anyone know why?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Tool192:
Do you have Chinese Rom or Global? If u have Chinese one, u have to aquire authorization from Chinese MI Comunity.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] danicosas:
Global ROM,

as I said in the previous message, I already have the authorization from Mi Comunnity, I successfully linked my account in the developer options section and waited the 72 hours, the problem is now in the Mi Unlock software.
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Waleedaligomaa:
I dont have chinese region in my app how to get chinese mi community
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Waleedaligomaa:

Welp, I'm back at it after 72 hours of wait time & I'll have you know that this couldn't have went any smoother (except the old version of Mi Unlock giving me gray hair) :p
