Mi unlock tool getting the "Please rebind and try again error.". Did somebody encounter this error?

[5aruman]

I want to unlock the bootloader on my Mi Mix 3 5G, but I'm not able to... getting really frustrated with this.

I've done all the steps required prior to unlocking the Bootloader:

1. Enabled OEM Unlocking
2. Enabled USB Debugging
3. Added my Mi Account successfully in the Mi Unlock status setting
4. Downloaded the Mi Unlock tool and updated to the latest version + updated USB drivers
5. I logged in with the same Mi account on my PC
6. Plugged my phone into an USB 2.0 port
7. Entered Fastboot on my phone

Here's a screenshot with the error:

I want to flash a new ROM on my device, but I'm getting pretty annoyed right now.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I would like to confirm the problem. In addition to the steps described above I also enabled the "find lost device" functionality and updated the device location via Xiaomi cloud before trying to unlock.

I am trying to unlock a POCO X3 Pro using Mi unlock tool version 6.5.406.31.

Unlock procedure stage one worked. I was told to wait for another 16 hours. After that time period I only get the aforementioned error message.

Having the exact same problem. I think the problem is, that mi binds the device wrongly to your account. When I check my Mi Account online and look under "Manage devices", it shows the phone, but without the real model
and name.

Having the same problem tried rebinding the account didn't work I think it's a new problem on xiaomi's end tried new versions of unlock tool and old versions. All didn't work and I've unlocked xiaomi phones without a problem in the past.

In my case, "model" is also empty and "name" is shown correctly as "POCO X3 Pro".

 

[angrigo]

Same problem on poco f3
Model and name are correct

 

[5aruman]

Yeah, similar issue on my end... weirdly the photo of the device is correct and the name is displayed correctly in the devices list, but not the popup.

Same here on my Poco X3 Pro 8/256, tried both the official Xiaomi Unlock Tool and the XiaoMiTool V2, installed drivers again, rebooted and my device doesnt get recognized at first but after the doing the MiAssistent step in XMT2 it does get the device data
It does show my device name and model correctly tho

Might be something going on with the servers? I ain't no expert but it's odd how everyone with the same problem started popping up only today.

I am experiencing the same issue with a Redmi Note 10 Pro..

yea, I am pretty sure it is either xiaomi being rude or their crappy servers sucking rn

It sucks lmao, I'm saying goodbye to my old Mi 9T some time this weekend and I really wanted to try some custom roms. Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be.

am I really that unlucky that Xiaomi's servers are malfunctioning when I want to unlock my bootloader

( btw, for me my model and name are shown correctly under "My devices" at https://us.i.mi.com/#/setting )

 

[Utrilla]

Same problem with Mi8

Same problem with Mi 10T.

Waited patiently 168 hours to unlock it, just to get this error. Frustrated. Anyone solved it?

As mentioned above it's probably a server issue, best way to solve it now is just to wait it out.

EDIT: If I'm incorrect and someone actually found a solution feel free to add it to the forum.

 

[damjan778899]

I googled this error. This thread shows up as the first result. Without OP posting about this today I wouldn't post here. I created my account just to confirm this problem.

I'm saying we might be the outliers that have this specific problem. Perhaps many people can unlock and will not post here about their success.
