Wow
Nonsoco80:
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 me one of my friend. Redmi note 7 pro. He bought the phone from jiji. Na since that day I started fearing Xiaomi

I Don do am, I hope the thief gets frustrated

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.

You might want to be more polite. Don't say you have locked it and it can't be used. You might be daring the thief.

Kindly return by calling the attached number if found is enough.

Try translating lock screen message to French too if there's space.

Xiaomi

Even if I'm polite, that doesn't mean the thief will return it...no space for French, thanks for the advice though..

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..
must the other phone be a xiaomi phone also?

Re: My Stolen Phone Has Been Located In Cotonou by Orenike: 7:01pm On Aug 19, 2022
No, since you bought the phone brand new, I'm sure you must have registered your email and phone number on the mi account which binds your phone and the mi account...so therefore you don't need the mi community app..

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.
The question is,, was the phone actually rendered Useless after the Locking??
..
If the Person Flash the phone, (and possibly tweak the IMEIs),, won't he restart the phone and start using it again??
Re: My Stolen Phone Has Been Located In Cotonou by Orenike: 10:50am On Aug 20, 2022
Are you a software engineer?
Have you ever flashed or tweak a xiaomi phone before?

The down side of Sabo where they sell and buy stolen phones and electronics. They also call it mortuary, different cannabis are sold there too, so if I tell some boys or engineers there to find me a particular stolen phone, they won't miss it
