Mi4c, "this device is associated with an existing Mi account...."

[Mimyl]

Hi,

I have problem with a mi device (Mi4c). It was bricked and I have succed to restore it. "This device is associated with an existing Mi account...." (159****855).

But, it's not my ID account or my friend ID account. Mine is : 279***686 My friend is : 160****427

So, the mobile phone was purchased completly new on Aliexpress (it was 1 on a half or two years ago).


At this point I can't connect my mi account on this phone and it is completly locked.

have tried to install the first Miui 7 rom. I have succeeded to connect mi Miui account. But, after that, I have installed the last Miui version and get the same message!

If i'm not be able to connect my account, I have a message that tell me to give an unlock code to the customer service (Your device is associated with another mi account (159****855))! But this FU***NG device never been associated with this account! :

The unlock code is like that :
2E540***1618

Do you have some ideas?

Thanks!

Finally, I have found a solution.
Need an unlocked device with custom recovery

Step one :

Fastboot mod :

*fastboot -w
*Fastboot erase config

Step two :

*Take the STABLE Xiaomi.eu rom accorded to your device on this page : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
*Install it via your custom recovery and reboot your phone

Step three :

*At this time, I have not tried to connect my miui account (so, I can't tell you if it work)

*Insteed of trying to connect my Miui account, create another one with an e-mail adress!!!
*After that, go to your Miui account (on your device) and associate your Mi4c (or other device) with your phone number. It's in setting / Mi account / Devices
*Activate "Find device" on your mi account and go to https://us.i.mi.com/ and activate to see if it work.
*After that, go to this page and flash the last rom (Beta or Stable, according to your device) : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/
*Reboot your phone.

At this time, you can go to your mi account, and it's work (normally).

After that, I have tried to reinstall another rom (globerom) and it work perfectly.

But I have deactivated "found device" before doing that. Now, I'm able to connect the phone with another Miui account. It work perfectly.

Hope it can help others like me!

Saving these instructions for future when Xiaomi releases nougat for Mi-4C. my mi-4c is MI Cloud locked too but Im running Resurrection Remix Nougat rom now so I will check out MIUI when its released.

Maybe the bug will be fixed with Android Nougat.

For now, I have installed the last beta GlobeRom and it work perfectly (I have tried to disconnect and reconnect two accounts many time).

Thanks for ur instructions!!! It works for me but when I tried to upgrade to miui 8 by flashing a stable rom. I still get the 'this device is associated with etc....' Error. How did you disable find device? Thanks for your help!!

Did you do the following steps ?
*After Miui 7 rom installed, you need to reboot your phone.

*Instead of trying to connect my Miui account, create another one with an e-mail adress!!!
*After that, go to your Miui account (on your device) and associate your Mi4c (or other device) with your phone number. It's in setting / Mi account / Devices
*Activate "Find device" on your mi account and go to https://us.i.mi.com/ and activate to see if it work.
*After that, go to this page and flash the last rom (Beta or Stable, according to your device) : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/
*Reboot your phone.
