Hey guys, so I have the CEO of my company phone which is a Note 3 on Verizon. I pushed out an ActiveSync Policy yesterday which has the following settings:
* Require Password
* Enable password recovery
* Allow simple password
* Minimum password length: 4
* Time without user input before the password must be re-entered: 2 minutes
He stated that he didn't put a password in... ಠ_ಠ - So I tried put him back to the old policy. I tried the Recovery Password that I found in exchange using: "Get-ActiveSyncDeviceStatistics -Mailbox:"jbrown" -ShowRecoveryPassword:$true" but that password does not work.
Is there any way to reset the passcode without wiping the device?
Also if you have any suggestions on 3rd party apps to not have this happen in the future on other devices, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
MC
So after almost 3 weeks of trying and trying and trying to unlock the bootloader on my new RN3, it finally happened. I had grown so used to seeing the 50% error, that i couldnt beleive my eyes when i saw the percentage figure move past 50% mark, and before i could realize, the MiFlashUnlock program had give a big green confirmation on the unlock.
So here is how i did it.
As a prerequisite - Go through this thread http://en.miui.com/thread-342144-1-1.html and try out everything from onwards. It has some helpful tips and I found this thread to be most comprehensive than any other thread.
If it doesnt work, try these:
Part 1.
Check how many devices you have EVER enrolled on your MI account. Now, the idea here is to ensure your current device is the ONLY device you EVER enrolled on your MI account. If need be, you should create a new account.
1.a - sign in to i.mi.com and verify your current device is listed.
1.b - goto the below link on chrome [replace the XXYYZZWWAA with your MI ID]
https://device.id.mi.com/dev/web/us...ang=cn&frameId=hidden_message_frame_1&userId=[highlight]XXYYZZWWAA[/highlight]#index
1.c - if the page loads fine, you will see something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1.d - right click and do inspect
1.e - the chrome web page inspector will open. Now go to 'Source'. it will show the source code of the javascipt file. Make sure the name of the file you are looking at is jquery-1.8.3.min.js. Click on "{ }" at the bottom of the window to pretty print the file.
Now scroll down to line 4505 where it says "c.text = a.responseText"
The purpose is to inspect the value in 'c' that is returned by the server. Insert a breakpoint at line 4504 (not 4505) by clicking on the number 4504 (a blue highlight will be shown).
1.f - once you have inserted the breakpoint, add "c.text" into 'watch' by right clicking clicking "add to watch". Then just do a refresh in the main window. The page will reload and stop at the breakpoint. Then press F-11, to step into line 4505. Once you do this, you will see the value of c.text getting populated. This is all you need. Just right click and copy the text and paste into a notepad.
1.g Now, what are we looking for? These things:
- make sure this is the only device you have on your MI account.
- ensure your device is correctly reflected, i.e., check the name, status should be 'ONLINE'. Dont bother about the phone number (more on this in Part 2)
- If you have multiple devices, follow Part 2 to remove the device in question and add it to a NEW ACCOUNT.
As an example, refer this screenshot which shows multiple devices (all deleted/ removed) on my OLD account.
1.h In case you have only one device listed here, then you need to ensure the device is showing online most of the time, and not just when you login in to the i.mi.com website and do a find device. Read Part 2 to ensure chances of reflecting online are better.
Part 2
how to ensure you have only one device on your MI account that has EVER been enrolled.
Simple solution - create a new account with a new phone number and a new email ID. Follow these steps if you have access to a seperate SIM:
2.a - remove the device from your existing MI account by (1) - signing out of the MI account on your phone and (2) - removing the device from the i.mi.com console. Do both the steps to ensure the device is completely removed.
2.b - Create a new MI Account on i.mi.com by using the separate email account. No need to enter a phone number at this stage. Sing in using the email ID / new account number to ensure it works. Again, no need to enter a phone number.
2.c - insert the new Sim (preferably one that has never been associated with an MI account) in slot 1 (this is critical)
2.d - flash a new MIUI rom (you can use global dev version) via EDL. When it comes to the MI account sign in, enter the new account ID and password to log in. Login using the account ID as there is no phone number on record.
2.e - once done, go back to i.mi.com and sign in and when it asks about second level sign in (the one where it sends a sms to you phone number, ensure it is sending it to your new phone number - if there is no phone number, ensure you add the number at this stage.
2.f - make sure the device is now listed on the console. You can repeat Part 1 to make sure only one device is visible at back end.
2.g - also ensure your device and ROM version are correctly listed on the MIUI form settings page. Refer the MIUI forum link i posted above.
2.g - goto Part 3. Ensure you have the sim installed all the time and you are online through a data connection.
Basically, what you have done is removed your device from the old account and added it to the new account.
Part 3 - this has been fairly discussed. Apply for the unlock permission and wait for confirmation. once you have got it, download the tool and try to unlock.
Just to let you know - i successfully unlocked my phone with this process. I was able to unlock within a few hours of receiving the confirmation message for the new account.
Good luck.
Hit thanks if this helped you

why cant you find it? whats the error?
can you post a screenshot or something
Unable to add breakpoint at 4504. It automatically goes to 4505.
Even after devId and ChannelId shows, I was only able to unlock officially when my mobile # and model was showing inside _phone :[<inside this>]. i think unless it shows, you will get the 50% error. And for me to have the details shown I had to flash dev ROM + added Xiaomi account and avoided adding any account till xiaomi account sync as well as all the other operations like Find Device( from phone + mobile browser) is complete. Also, I had added my phone number into the phone settings.
Note: Miui version was not showing in the forum settings but I was able to unlock. So, that as others referred to as required was not for me (But I had changed device correctly in that page ).
Hope this helps.
Edit: I also made sure only one SIM (one used for request unlock) is present in the 1st SIM slot while doing the DEV ROM flash. DEV Rom (EDL flashed this fastboot: kenzo_global_images_6.8.18)
Thanks

Great. It worked for you. For me, phone number never showed in there.. like in the screenshot but i was able to unlock.
I think the critical thing is to have the device listed as the only device on the account. For me the other account which had other devices mapped to it before, didnt work.
Was it the same for you? I mean, did you sign up for a new account and maybe using a new phone number?

+1 to switching to global dev.
However, I did install global dev via EDL flashing, because nothing seemed to work (I was in Global Stable 7.2.3)
I had signed in Mi Account using phone number on both Phone and Computer, accessed mi cloud via both Phone and Computer and was able to locate device on both, synced some test stuff to like photos. Did this when I got sms notification that unlock permission has been granted
Its worth noting that after getting my unlock permission, I only EDL flashed global beta after 2 days.:highfive:
So in summary, applied for unlock on day 1, got confirmation on day 3, unlocked offically on day 5.
Only one device on mi account used since it was created (which was on day 1)

I had my number connected to my existing miui a/c with MI3 but still after changing the model I never got the unlock request page. So, i created another a/c and used the same no. (first I removed from the existing a/c) and then i got the unlock page and got the permission after 3 days. But since then, I was seeing the value part of the key "_phone" always blank until I flashed global dev and followed the steps I had posted above. The moment I saw my mobile number and the model in the value part, I thought let's try again and voila! it went past 50% (like you achieved something you desperately needed ).

The creation of new account part is mandatory ?
I did not create a new account because I only had a linked phone. But after many tests and verify that appeared the phone, and online status, could not unlock.
Finally I flashed Chinese ROM DEV via EDL flash, and have unlocked at first try.
I think it's false that can be unlocked with stable rom, or at least should wait to them (Xiaomi) authorizes something more than MI account.

Might be redundant to question, but you're logging in with the same credentials you used to request the unlock?

Did you unlock Developer mode?
Did you enter your Mi account credentials under the Developer settings entry?
To unlock Dev mode, tap on the MIUI Build entry under "About Phone". You have to tap it 7 or 8 times.
Then when you go back out to the Settings menu, under Additional Setttings, you'll see Developer Settings. In the Developers Setting area you'll see Mi Unlock or something like that. Enter your credentials there
Under developers settings ist dont have this settings... I have Under MiAccount My Email My Number Name etc...

I don't see that entry, and I didn't have to do that to unlock my Mi Mix.
To the OP, in about phone, what does it say for Model number and MIUI version?
Yes i have activated developers... And Mi account credentials dont See in developers
I have the same problem. From my understanding you need to apply to unlock your device first in order to have that bind MI account in developer option. I just applied and they said it might take to 10 days to get approved
Bootloader unlocking
I don't want to argue the issue:
here is what I DID.
link here http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
Please make sure you're on official MIUI ROM to unlock
What you should do after received the approval SMS?
1) Settings---> About phone---> MIUI Version (Tap on it to enable developer option).
2) Settings---> Additional settings---> Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status. This works on latest China & Global Stable and Developer ROM. For those who don't see this option please check out next tutorial and unlock in Developer ROM
I hope this helps, because for me it did
Cheers

So you received the SMS indicating permission to unlock?
And you entered the same credentials (login or MIUI ID number or cell phone number and password) you used to create MIUI account and request unlocking permission?
J
so the Problem is solve ...
i Log in to the Unlock Tool with my phone number ..the curios mistake was my number is ...0151******* my country Germany ...+49
in Germany must i write +49151*******
in the Unlock Tool must write +490151****
Curios but I been happy
I'm in Vietnam. I did by your guidance, but when i use +840989.... to login, it is unable to loging in. Only when i use +84988... it can be loging in.
did you check the device isn't already unlocked, alot with vendor roms have been unlocked already thats how they installed it.
Recently I bought this phone and I've gone through all problems, error and struggles to unlock the bootloader. This tutorial will solve:
86012 error
10008 error
Cannot connect to network
Not receiving confirmation SMS
Stuck at 50%
Stuck at 99%
Current account is not bound to this device
Couldn't verify device
Requirements:
Mobile
PC
USB Cable
Internet connection
Let's start with the tutorial, the main advantage is that you don't need Developer ROM, it will work on Official builds also:
Setup your MIUI account by going to Settings -> Mi Account
Open the MIUI Browser from your phone, don't use PC on this step
Apply for permission here
Use your phone number with your country prefix to log in (ex. +38970123456 is for Macedonia)
Write a genuine reason, 2-3 sentences
After some time you will receive a confirmation SMS (it may take a few days, but with this method I got the SMS in 2 hours on 4 different Xiaomi devices)
Download Mi Unlocker from here
Enable developer options by going to Settings -> About phone and tap 7 times on MIUI version
Go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Settings and tick OEM Unlocking and USB debugging
Go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Settings -> Mi Unlock Status and press Unlock
Turn your Mobile data, Sync , WiFi and GPS on and wait for 5 minutes and don't turn them off afterwards
Go to Mi Cloud by clicking here
Login with your phone number
Click on Find device and locate your phone
In the folder where you've extracted the Mi Unlock tool, you will find a program called MiUsbDriver, open it and press Install
Log in to Mi Unlock by opening miflash_unlock on PC with the same phone number you used in obtaining the unlock permission
Switch off your phone and go into Fastboot by pressing Volume down and Power simultaneously and connect your phone to the PC
Once it shows a handset in Mi Unlock click on Unlock button
Wait for a minute and you are done
Your phone's bootloader is now UNLOCKED
NOTE: Some users may see something like this
{

It's not a big deal, just wait the amount of hours that are shown there and then try unlocking the phone again. By using this tutorial you will get only 48 hours.
Good tutorial.
Thanks!
Maybe I can a little requirement.
It will be easier and faster to get SMS approval if you are at least Diamond Member at MIUI forum.
Got the permission yesterday but not able to unlock with lastest tool as it shows ''current account is not bound to this device'' error even though I added my account in dev option also the find my device is on
I can't even register my account and device in the Mi Unlock tab. Always getting the error "Couldn't verify, wait a minute or two and try again.". Any tips? Got my unlock permission about a week ago.
am not able to click on apply option at the bottom of page.. have tried it both on miui device as well as the computer

I haven't had a problem unlocking my Bootloader. After an approved request from Xiaomi, I have unlocked it in just a minute or two. Plus, when my bootloader accidentally got locked, I can do it again and again without bothering to request an approval.
just found out that the china set is able to unlock without trouble, the global set is on trouble now, before Oct was okay, now xiaomi changed something and caused unknown error.
I have ordered my device recently and it is yet to be received, and to buy some time I made an unlock request with mi account, the first time it didn't send an SMS to my phone number, so I tried a virtual US number to receive the confirmation SMS and after the permission, The question is:
Will I be able to unlock my device without my phone number being the same as the one in the request form?
Hello there. I seem to be stuck in the permission request. I complete the form but it does not accept my name, it writes in red lettering "Please input correct name". I have tried using my email address, my Mi account name, my Mi account number, my real name ...nothing works.
Any ideas are more than welcome
Something that everyone missess
Something that everyone missess....Xiaomi server tries to locate you first before unlocking.
Different numbers wont work. You need the same number. Turn on your WiFi and GPS as well as data, just in case.
If you dont have a FB account create one. Link it to phone and number. Go to locate my phone and let Xiaomi server locate you on the map.
Try unlocking now and voila!

I have got the permission after 7 hours of the request without even having the device yet, and asked about the different numbers on Xiaomi forums and a moderators replied that I still can unlock it the regular say. Just waiting for the device to test.

Yes, You can unlock your device without any SIM inserted on device. Only thing is your account should be verified with valid number.

This error does not matter for unlocking. Try unlocking after 3 days
The reason which you mentioned during asking for unlock permissions matters on how fast you can unlock.
I have given reason like " I am android developer and I want to take advantage of root access", I was able to unlock in 2 days after getting permissions
PS : even I had same error " current account is not bound to device" but I was able to unlock it!
Making sure.

have followed instructions but get this error on miui 9
Hello,
I reset the phone as it kept hanging. Now it asks me to activate the phone. But it doesn't work.
The password for the MI account is correct. The message comes up that it could not be verified: "Couldn't verify Mi Account ID. Can't connect to network.
If I enter the wrong password, I get the message "Coudn't verify Mi Account ID. Invalid username or password.
I think it doesn't work because I recently changed my phone number and the old number is still saved in the phone and it doesn't match now. I have already entered the new number in my Mi Account.
What can I do now?
I don't know any solution. I just know that the Mi Account is connected to the number first used with it. When it confirms that "you" are "you" it checks the number on the phone. If it isn't the same as the Mi Account is registered with it prompts an error.
In short, this is a horrible system put in place by Xiaomi. I love their devices. But this way of locking users out of their own devices is not a good practice.
