Leave a lock message with your international phone number. Don't just lock it. That was how I recovered my stolen Xiaomi redmi note 5 phone after a year it was stolen.

What is bootloader abeg?
Pandorah:
If your bootloader was locked, then your device is still unlocked. That message does not mean the cloud security has been breached.

Yes. iPhone security is harder to hack.

But when my Samsung was stolen, the thief flashed it but he was unable to log out of my Samsung account until I locked it eventually with a message that the phone was stolen that whoever finds it should call my number. After 2 days, I got a call that I should look behind my generator that my phone was there.

The phone was stolen when my younger ones placed it on the gen, tho.

When I got the phone, all my pictures were wiped out and the thief’s photos were in the phone, which he was unable to clear the moment I locked the phone from my Samsung account.

So I’m really surprised someone was able to flash out your login details on a xioami account.
There paid tools that can flash any phone though you have to pay. Even iPhone can be done up to x, and I believe before next year ending xr upwards will be hackable.

They will flash it out. Same thing happened to me when i misplaced my Redmi 8 inside danfo bus in Lagos. I locked it with a written note, including my number.

About a week thereabout, a strange number called and was telling me how he bought my phone in Lafenwa in Abeokuta. But that the phone is locked. I explained everything to him and promised to compensate him if only i can get my phone.

The mumu said no. That he want to return it and get his money back. I asked for the seller contact, he refused. The next day, i received a message that the account has been reset and I can't have access to it any longer. That was how it ended.

Did you lose the phone with the SIM card connected to the account?

Every modern phone maker has a website where you can perform anti theft actions like locking and tracking your phone.

Apple uses iCloud, Samsung I think findmymobile and also xioami too and the rest.
Does infinix have?

Sabo Ibadan, if you had reported here I would have helped you called someone there and you'll get your phone.

Once you have registered your phone number and email on your mi account, it is automatically possible to track your xiaomi phone from anywhere in the world on another phone..

Xiaomi security is even harder to crack compared to iCloud. Once you lock the device and the person tries to flash it. The moment they connect to the internet, the device will be locked again. I'm a software engineer, so I am confidently telling u this cos I've tried it.
Iphone 11,12,13 cannot be flashed atm too.
you are saying the truth. Some engineer will unlock the phone, but it will automatically lock again when SIM card is inserted and connect to internet. It happens to one of my friend. Redmi note 7 pro. He bought the phone from jiji. Na since that day I started fearing Xiaomi

I'm really disappointed in Xiaomi. I'll stick to Samsung until their alleged security disappoint, so far with their security i got my lost phone by locking it. The thief returned it to where he stole it.

Always indicated in the lock message that the phone was stolen. That way the thief will find it hard to tell people to help him flash it.
