Was this phone locked with a xioami account?

This is very strange. They shouldn’t be able to flash out the login details on your phone manufacturer’s website.

Did you reveal sensitive info that aided them in doing a password reset on the phone?

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.

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.

That's good technology, if possible after writing a note and leaving your phone number, that the phone is stolen, and the thief does not return it, if there is a way to make it self destruct. E for sweet me, or when they want to wipe or reset it, it will just crash.

Yes ooo, I hope the technology on xiaomi gets to that stage, so it will put a stop to phone theft

Ernesttoby30:


Seriously i never did. I was even surprised to see that. I was told that Xiaomi security system is not as strong as Iphone.

I still have the phone carton with me up till date

Did you at anytime unlock the bootloader?

Orenike:
My stolen redmi note 9s has been located in cotonou thanks to my xiaomi account which tracked the phone...I also was able to lock the phone so the phone is basically useless..

However, I don't know if it's possible to get my phone because na this phone I dey take learn online skills before it was stolen ...

FYI, the phone was stolen at Tafawa balewa Square, Lagos, Nigeria.

Sounds impressive,I just imagine how these thieves work smartly.. instead of applying the same knowledge to something creative.
