Good afternoon, I wonder if there is any solution to my situation. Last Thursday I bought an Mi 5s from a vendor in OLX running normal and at the time an update appeared available I downloaded it and the device rebooted. After that, he asked for the password of an IM account linked to the device ... since I did not know that Xiaomi branded devices had this lock, later I tried to talk to the seller and he got involved ... so I did Wipe Data to see if This blocking left ... but did not leave, as the picture below. Now the seller no longer responds, he wanted to know if there would be any solution to this unfortunate situation. The screen shows: Sign in to your My Account Logo below: Enter Password Below: This device is associated with existing My Account ID (166xxxx398) And Activate Account Grateful

Seller tricked you and sold phone with Mi account on it. Now you can't unlock it. You can only try to find seller ( OLX is a internet store? If yes, I think that you should go to support of this store ) and ask for password.

I don't know if we have a method to unlock the bootloader unofficially on Mi5s! Coz it was available on my old Redmi Note 3 Pro! If u find any method to unlock the bootloader unofficially and then flash twrp....u can use other roms except miui...!
