Mi 5s stuck on start - cant login nor activate MI account

[zsolarewicz]

Hi guys, it looks xda is my last chance resort to save the phone.
Once purchased a week ago I still cant use the phone by now.
The phone seem to be attached to some account which I did not create and thus cant access.
The phone is locked/bootloader/ and not activated /MI account verification/, neither I can restore any password by loggin with my phone number - Xiaomi does not send me any verification text SMS back.

I tried recovery and Fastboot and while recovery allows me to flash with chineese MISuite back and forth with 8.0.3/android show errors-stopped processes/ and 7.5.XX,
fastboot does not allow anything-Flash xbl error.

Anybody-anything? Because ./except my numerous reclaiming in Xiaomi and the shop/ I am out of ideas by now ??

Cheers,

Looks like a stolen phone. If you bought it via paypal/credit card request a refund/charge back.

May be. But I bought it from Gearbest.com. Are they prone to such cases?
Good idea w/charge back.

Usually not, but I would return it anyway, just to be sure. If it has been used, there is no saying how the battery will perform or if it's full of viruses and spyware.

I had the same problem when trying to install Miui again after installing LOS. But I had already unlocked my bootloader.

If you use a special cable, http://en.miui.com/thread-324300-1-1.html, you can flash a Miui developer ROM and unlock your bootloader. There are plenty of manuals on the internet.
