Please,I ended up buying a second hand one thanks to cash constraint. Problem is the seller forgot to deactivate his mi account before sending it,now am stuck in the sign into you mi account screen and he Doesn't want to give his password. Is there a way I can override or flash it so its new

KuliMart:

Are you sure you paid for the phone?

You might need to wipe the phone.....

Gptech:

As the name implies, it is supposed to be the most stable rom

my friend stable ROM is stable ROM or Chinese stable ROM. or you'll have the developer ROM or Chinese developer ROM

Yes sir. I did. I didn't want to type much,not comfy typing with this phone. How do I wipe it?

I see no reason why the seller won't give you the password! You want to wipe the phone! Ok try lets see how lucky you may be ; heard of someone who wiped a Xiaomi mi max but refused to due to the password. Xiaomi is really mimicking apple, security in miui 8 is really matured.

I don't support wiping assistance. or else we will indirectly be Aiding and abetting thieves...at the expense of our treasured gadgets

op should return the phone or get the seller to unlock the phone.

In fairness to him,he gave me before but I was a little bit ignorant about the workings of the mi accout so he changed it and now am locked out. Totally my fault! Just I need solution cause he has refused to give me the new password. Don't you know how to wipe it

go back to him. you collected his password and refused to deactivate his account on your device...now you are interested in wiping the same phone!

Bros... Go back to him o...if na beg, beg am and if he's adamant just return the phone... That's my own sha

I wish I knew better. I thought an account could only be register with a phone,so I was to change the password. I had not even changed the password. I didn't refuse,I didn't know I was to.

Bro to be frank, you cannot even wipe the phone even if you want to, just try and get to the guy. Its even possible the seller stole it from someone, that's what I have always thought.

To know what you are into check this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3351738/xiaomi-security-best-android , the security is really tight.

he should find the seller

I actually use spectranet so strong connection is not the issue... Someone said the issue is the Android version...

michaelobinna:
you don't have to root Redmi note 3 pro to get updates , check for updates with a strong wifi connection like spectranet , smile

oga.... everything sounds fishy about your story, I'm not saying you stole it o(but if) I can't imagine what the owner will be going through right now with the current prices of good phones in the market.

if it's a stolen phone + with the mi account active on it you'll be tracked if the owner knows what to do. so kindly return the phone to the seller for him to unlock it if he doesn't want to send you his password

if it's truly his phone he will unlock it for you.

and if stolen pls the phone should be returned to the rightful owner.

the phone is useless to you right now without the right password so don't waste your time about flashing it

everyone kindly Go to Settings> Mi Account>Mi Cloud and at the bottom of the menu, activate the "Find device" to enable you track your phone when stolen

Thanks for the info. I tried to do that but the device requested for my MI account details. Is it a necessity to open an MI account? Pardon my ignorance.

Please don't call it a tale yet, he probably made a mistake, let's hope he doesn't regret it.

is your phone new? you ought to have registered to the Mi account when you were setting it up. kindly do that asap

Thanks bro. How do I do that please?

Just go to settings, then mi account. Follow the steps there its easy. You may need to activate your sim which cost about #15 from our network providers.

Hi kulimart I wanna place order for xiaomi mi5 how long will it take to get to me in ph and I want the one with play store and again does it have notification led?

Yea you are right, you know many of us to like reading those plenty instructions when setting up a new phone, we just skip
But xiaomi really tried on this, I didn't see the importance of a mi account, just registered because I wanted to comment on mi forum. I later discovered that the mi account goes even more than I thought.

Where KuliMart come answer questions oooo
Anyway, let me tell you, notification is not even a highlight of the mi5, even far less ranking devices like redmi 3 and redmi note 2 which I currently use have that. You will surely love the mi5.

lol I'm the inquisitive type when it comes to what I want to purchase, I knew the features, history, MiUi of Xiaomi before I got my phone...

I even heard about mind blowing feature that was suppose to come with MiUi 8.... that one will be able to track his phone even when it has no sim or internet connection, guess it was just one of those bloggers hipe anyway

Interesting! I was not really bothered about such, was focused mainly on customizations.

Those Xiaomi guys are really awesome in delivering quality gadgets and banging miui updates

Xiaomi's security and Apples security are on par i love that
