So I applied for unlocking permission like 6 months ago.
All cool, I got the confirmation message for permission to unlock my land within some days.
But since I own a macbook pro I couldn't actually try to unlock that time.
Yesterday I got a chance to use my friend's windows pc.
I did everything, step by step, and now what's the result of my patience?? - Unlocking stuck at 99%!
Tells me to bind my account to the device, whenever I try to do so, it gives me a toast error of - 86020 followed by something written in Chinese.
Dear Xiaomi, if you don't want to let us unlock bootloader, why don't you simply disable this on your smartphones? Rather than creating this much of hassle? I'm too much frustrated guys
Do you guys have any solution? I'm on miui 8.2.5.0
Permission expires after 30 days, so you have to re-apply.

Now when I'm trying to seek permission, I'm being redirected to download mi flash unlock tool, that means my permission is not expired

Well, finally you are unlocking bootloader.
Make sure both PC and phone have same mi account and both have good internet access. If still doesn't work try installing old version of mi unlock application, and when it says verifying device, turn your internet in device off, after few minutes turn on and retry. There are lot of such parlour tricks in Google that you can try... All the best...

Yeah ? thanks I'd try that
I recently received my black Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Global Version and wished to unlock the bootloader in order to create a Custom firmware (which will be based around Stock, but have a lower DPI and use the Google Now launcher to have 7 icons in the dock & a 6x6 icon grid elsewhere).
During the unlock process I got stuck within the 'Add account and device' in Developer Options, with the error code 86006 being displayed. The solution to this issue is to change from the Stable MIUI 8 to the latest Developer ROM - once this is flashed, the device will register with no error messages.
An overview of the process is therefore:
1. Flash the latest Development ROM on the phone, via the Updater app
2. Register for a Mi account, if you do not have one, and log into the phone with this account.
3. Request the Unlock privilege for your Mi account
4. Enroll the device for an Unlock in Developer Options
5. Wait 72 hours
6. Unlock the bootloader with the Windows Mi Flash Unlock tool.
Mi Account
The Unlock tool will require that the phone is logged into the same Xiaomi account in order for the unlock process to be successful, so ensure you have set yourself up with a Mi account and signed into the phone using this account.
I tend to ensure I have posted a few items on the MIUI forum before I make a request as, during the request process, it states that they will take the activity of your account into consideration when they are making the decision to grant you the unlock privilege.
If the request is denied, you have to wait 30 days to re-apply, so better to be safe than sorry!
Request the Unlock privilege
The first thing you will need to do is to make sure you have applied for Unlock rights for your Mi account. This can be done here:
Mi Unlock
Try to make the given reason for unlocking something specific, rather than generic, as your request is more likely to be granted this way.
The time between application and hearing back from the MIUI team seems to vary. The last time I applied the request was granted after just a few minutes, but previous applications have taken days!
Setting up the phone
Before you can successfully unlock the phone using the unlocking tool you will need to enrol the phone into the scheme, which is performed in Developer Options.
1. Go to Settings / About Phone
2. Press MIUI version 7 times to enable Developer options
3. Go to Settings / Additional Settings / Developer options
4. Click on Mi Unlock status
5. Click on Add account and device
Note that if you get an error code of 86006 then download and flash the latest Developer ROM through the built-in Updater app:
Xiaomi ROM Download
Three Day Wait
After enrolling the phone, Xiaomi require that 72 hours (3 days) must elapse before the bootloader can be unlocked with Xiaomi's MiFlash Unlock Tool.
If you attempt to unlock during this period, the process will get to 99% before displaying an error message requesting you wait 72 hours.
Unlocking the bootloader
Once the phone is enrolled and 72 hours have passed, you can use the Unlock tool.
This can be downloaded from the MIUI Unlock site once your unlock request has been granted:
Mi Unlock
On a Windows PC, extract the zip file to a temporary folder and run the miflash_unlock.exe tool.
Log on using the same Mi account that you have signed into the device with and follow the on screen prompts, which involve booting the phone into Fastboot with Power and Volume Down.
Not working for me
Tried everything as mentioned above still not able to unlock the bootloader. It gets stuck at 99% and I am not able to bind my account in phone in developer options.
I get error 86012 and something in Chinese.
On latest developer ROM
Did you unlock it yourself?I got this error from tool. Couldn't find a way to make request and looped back to unlocker page always.View attachment 4237380

Some advices about same issue (Error 86006) say that after successful unlock request sending to Xiaomi (and before unlock process itself) the previous stable (not developpers!) Global ROM can be re-flashed in Mi Max 2.
So, that way phone BL can be unlocked with stable Global ROM and with unlock rights received from Xiaomi using developpers ROM. Is that true?
Another question: there is an advice (in MIUI flashing guide) to use fastboot (not recovery) flashings when flashing developpers ROM on stable ROM and vice versa, as recovery flashings may cause flashing failures . Any comment?

It's really annoying... They could have made a more simple procedure like sending the device's serial/IMEI & attaching it to account immediately, so that unlocking could be done immediately. But this is like, insane...

so pros, any luck with bootloader unlocking? I'm being haunted by this error as well "Current Account is not Bound to this device"
do we need to create new mi account and then bind & unlock? I was using redmi note 3 before but that device no more listed in i.mi.com.

I have not managed to unlock the bootloader on a globally stable ROM. I managed to get a global developer rom without problems waiting 72 hours after logging in. Everything went smoothly.

thanks for the instant reply
does xposed module works ? xposed by purifyos team on developer rom ?
In developer options after you enable OEM unlock bootloader option, you have to bind the account in (Mi Unlock status). Remove Mi account from your device, then come here and then add the account, but ensure that you login with account id(not email and phone). After that leave it for 7 days to be safe and it can be unlocked.Phew...
Got mine this way, finally.

There is no way that this can get solved.
Tried Developer Rom option, didn't work.
Tried Login with User ID, didn't work.
Just nothing works
any other way I can remove this error! It hurts from the Root lover point of view
When I apply to unlock this came . What to do?
So ,I flashed miui9 via updater app and applied via stock browser , I am able to apply for unlocking now.

Make sure you turn on OEM unlocking and registered your MI account in Unlock Status under Developer Option.
Make sure to turn OFF Find My Device.
If those don't work try removing MI account, reset your device and then try Unlocking after following the above.

15 days is still early. Anyways keep trying day after day.
I just got this phone today, and I want to root it and use custom ROM, but having troubles. Previously did this on an S6 and it was fairly easy.
Was following one guide, and was getting Fail Auth error from Odin.
Now trying to follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-how-to-install-twrp-root-galaxy-t3752480
But I don't even have OEM unlock in Developer options....
I'm still running 8.0 android. But an update is available, should I update to 9.0?
Please help
Edit:
In an effort to find a way to get the OEM unlock , i found this:
https://www.the***********.com/fix-missing-oem-unlock-toggle-samsung-galaxy-devices/
"The method below has stopped working on the newer firmware released in or after August 2018. In most situations, your device will be forcibly locked and the OEM Unlock toggle will be missing. Ensure that you insert a SIM card, connect to your network, and NOT REBOOT your Galaxy device for straight 7 Days (168 Hours)."
Is this accurate? Would it have to be a sim that's currently network activated if so? I was thinking of continuing to use the active sim in the s6, and an old sim in the s8 until I have it all set up. Also, if I have to wait a week, I probably might as well update to 9.0 that samsung is providing.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

You will need OEM unlocked in developer menu to flash twrp etc. As for getting unlocked you can try different variations of the date method. I have 2 S8's one Oreo one pie both with twlrp, etc got OEM by using a variation of the date method. If not you will have to wait.
As to updating to pie well personal choice my daily driver is still on Oreo while my other phone is on pie.
As to the method the thread you quoted is still valid but a bit outdated as it doesn't take into account of rrm state ( and kg state introduced in pie ). This guide is more up to date but is basically the same procedure but includes RMM fix.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535
Also be aware the have been updates to twrp as well.
Yea, I've been trying various date methods, but none of them worked for me. The lack of OEM is likely the issue here, so I'll probably just have to wait for a week to proceed
