it will recall that your Mi Account is not authorized to flash the phone. If you have these tools you phone should be able to be unbricked in about 10 minutes. Download the latest version of Mi Flash tool (v2018.5.28.0 or newer). So uou will still need an authorized account, ( it sounds like you don't have your own account?) If not you will need a modified scatterfile that bypasses the account request, along with Qpst or the SPFlashTool to unbrick your device. Unfortunately, that phone has that garbage MediaTek processor, which complicates the process. If you bought a Xiaomi phone and did not go through a waiting period of 2 weeks to unlock the bootloader, and now have this issue, then you were possibly scammed by a nefarious vendor who pre-unlocked it, using their Mi-Cloud account, this would explain your dilemma.Įdit: After going back to the OP and being reminded that you have a Redmi Note 8 Pro and it is one of the rare exceptions that can use just ADB without Mi-Unlock. Plus you can only use the proprietary Mi-unlock tool which you get from here. The majority of higher end Xiaomi phones such as Mi 8,9,10 and the Mix series all require a linked Mi-Cloud account. We will try to resolve your complaint at the earliest. Till the time, I would request you to keep some patience. But I know that Xiaomi phones that come with Android One or Mediatek processors are the exception and can unlock using the traditional adb method. With respect to your concern regarding Mi Account, I would request you to kindly wait for some more time regarding the authorization of the Mi Account as it is server process so, it may take some more time. I repaired my hardbricked phone more than once using my authorized account, and my account linked computer. When I say authorized, I am talking about you being authorized to unlock it with your account. The majority of newer Xiaomi phones ( 2018-Present) especially the ones with a quallcom processor require an authorized linked account and a specialized tool.
