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.

This is quite strange, my Xiaomi note 7 got lost, I wrote a note & blocked it. 3 years now, it is still blocked & I haven't received such message.

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 cry because na this phone I dey take learn online skills before it was stolen cry...

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

I was going to ask if you dropped the phone in the Lagoon and it washed ashore In Cotonou

There are too many thieves in Lagos

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?

I lost my Redmi Note 9 Pro in Ibadan and locked it with a message, it was locked and i traced it to Sabo ibadan, it was there for about a week, then the location changed to Lagos, spent a month there before i got a message that my account have been reset... all the lil info on the mi space was blank...

That's why I don't pity thieves when they're caught because they don't want to work and would rather steal someone's hard earned money or things cry
GreyLaw:


Because they are thieves and should never be pitied when caught. They are not sfrwlingnformwant of money or skill or opportunities. They steal because they are thieves and loves stealing.

Your bootloader was unlock. If your bootloader wasn't unlocked there's no way they can successfully hack into your phone

Lock the phone? They will just flash it and it will become a new phone.
