Hi
recently bought an AT&T Focus from Ebay, the seller says its unlock but I forget about it and purchase the unlock code anyway.
So , here's the problem :
First time I insert my country Simcard I would expect a warning something like "Sim error, please input unlock code" ( this is my 3rd time bought AT&T Focus and been there 2x unlock my previous Focus)
But this time its boot right up and shows 2 bar on the signal bar (so I guess the seller is right, its unlock already) but when I try to call provider customer service the signal suddenly gone and its gone forever
Tried to switch another simcards in still no signal. Do a hard reset, still no go
Each time I turn it on, the phone tab on the home screen says : Searching......and few second after it says..No Service...
I confirm all the simcard I've been using is valid, they all work on my blackberry.
Can anyone give a solution ?
If this is matter, this is what says on the About Phone :
Phone Information :
Name : Samsung SGH-i917
Model : Samsung SGH-i197
Carrier : AT&T Wireless
Software : WIndows Phone 7.5
OS Version : 7.10.7720.68
Firmware : 2103.11.8.1
Hardware : 3.1.0.7
Radio Software : 2103.11.8.1
Radio Hardware : 0.0.0.3
Bootloader : 5.8.0.2
Also it says SIM ID : 8962100xxxxx ( is this means it already read my current SIM inside the phone ?)
I hope you guys can help me, I can't afford to pay the Focus just for a paperweight ....arrrrghhhhhh
I usually use the Samsung 'Network Profile' app to help setup the phone to use a new network with a new sim card.
You can download it from the 'Samsung Zone' Marketplace. Maybe it will help. Good luck.
Edit: I've found it can take a few minutes for the 'no signal' to go away. Perhaps it's registering something. I'm not familiar with what goes on in the background. That's just been my experience.

Hi Peter
Thank for your reply, however when I try to search Network Profile app, I got a warning says Not available in your country, I'm in South East Asia
What should I do now?
I wonder if the problem cause by any forced Mango update? or something like that?
I can see the phone is able to read my Sim card since I can import contacts to the phone
If you're unlocked, use the attached.

Hi EnderPsp
I just gone through the WindowsBreak , one of the step that not complete is after choosing the windowsbreak it stays on Loading bla bla... ( I think that windowbreak contain custom provisioning setting? but how I edit it or is it already set up ? )
Also in order to instal the Network Profile app I installed TOM Xap Installer, but it crashed each time I click on instal after browse the network profile app.
I'm missing something here ?

#1. close any browser and skype you have opened, before you do #2 below (as these interfere with the deployment)
#2. make sure your phone is synced in Zune and NOT as guest (full sync) and Zune is in the background
and try again.

Sorry, got mixed with another thread and replied without checking.
If Network Profile app didn't work, it might not be a software configuration issue. I would suggest a backup/full sync and then either a hard reset or try to flash a fresh ROM. If that doesn't fix the issue either, then it's hardware. But wait, maybe someone else has a better idea/solution.

I would like to thank you for respond to my problem but I think I don't have more times to find the solution.
I will return it tomorrow and get another Focus.

See whether enabling cellular data in Settings>Cellular makes any difference. My phone started working, had same issues as yours.

can you double check the sim slot and see if all the contacts ( small pin like contacts which touch the sim when installed) are all OK?
try to raise them a little with a pin or a small knife and re-insert the sim.
i had the same issue when i got my focus. it would always say no signal or something similar and a "SIM card is missing" icon on the top but would show sim ID just fine...
let me know if it works
So after almost 3 weeks of trying and trying and trying to unlock the bootloader on my new RN3, it finally happened. I had grown so used to seeing the 50% error, that i couldnt beleive my eyes when i saw the percentage figure move past 50% mark, and before i could realize, the MiFlashUnlock program had give a big green confirmation on the unlock.
So here is how i did it.
As a prerequisite - Go through this thread http://en.miui.com/thread-342144-1-1.html and try out everything from onwards. It has some helpful tips and I found this thread to be most comprehensive than any other thread.
If it doesnt work, try these:
Part 1.
Check how many devices you have EVER enrolled on your MI account. Now, the idea here is to ensure your current device is the ONLY device you EVER enrolled on your MI account. If need be, you should create a new account.
1.a - sign in to i.mi.com and verify your current device is listed.
1.b - goto the below link on chrome [replace the XXYYZZWWAA with your MI ID]
https://device.id.mi.com/dev/web/us...ang=cn&frameId=hidden_message_frame_1&userId=[highlight]XXYYZZWWAA[/highlight]#index
1.c - if the page loads fine, you will see something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1.d - right click and do inspect
1.e - the chrome web page inspector will open. Now go to 'Source'. it will show the source code of the javascipt file. Make sure the name of the file you are looking at is jquery-1.8.3.min.js. Click on "{ }" at the bottom of the window to pretty print the file.
Now scroll down to line 4505 where it says "c.text = a.responseText"
The purpose is to inspect the value in 'c' that is returned by the server. Insert a breakpoint at line 4504 (not 4505) by clicking on the number 4504 (a blue highlight will be shown).
1.f - once you have inserted the breakpoint, add "c.text" into 'watch' by right clicking clicking "add to watch". Then just do a refresh in the main window. The page will reload and stop at the breakpoint. Then press F-11, to step into line 4505. Once you do this, you will see the value of c.text getting populated. This is all you need. Just right click and copy the text and paste into a notepad.
1.g Now, what are we looking for? These things:
- make sure this is the only device you have on your MI account.
- ensure your device is correctly reflected, i.e., check the name, status should be 'ONLINE'. Dont bother about the phone number (more on this in Part 2)
- If you have multiple devices, follow Part 2 to remove the device in question and add it to a NEW ACCOUNT.
As an example, refer this screenshot which shows multiple devices (all deleted/ removed) on my OLD account.
1.h In case you have only one device listed here, then you need to ensure the device is showing online most of the time, and not just when you login in to the i.mi.com website and do a find device. Read Part 2 to ensure chances of reflecting online are better.
Part 2
how to ensure you have only one device on your MI account that has EVER been enrolled.
Simple solution - create a new account with a new phone number and a new email ID. Follow these steps if you have access to a seperate SIM:
2.a - remove the device from your existing MI account by (1) - signing out of the MI account on your phone and (2) - removing the device from the i.mi.com console. Do both the steps to ensure the device is completely removed.
2.b - Create a new MI Account on i.mi.com by using the separate email account. No need to enter a phone number at this stage. Sing in using the email ID / new account number to ensure it works. Again, no need to enter a phone number.
2.c - insert the new Sim (preferably one that has never been associated with an MI account) in slot 1 (this is critical)
2.d - flash a new MIUI rom (you can use global dev version) via EDL. When it comes to the MI account sign in, enter the new account ID and password to log in. Login using the account ID as there is no phone number on record.
2.e - once done, go back to i.mi.com and sign in and when it asks about second level sign in (the one where it sends a sms to you phone number, ensure it is sending it to your new phone number - if there is no phone number, ensure you add the number at this stage.
2.f - make sure the device is now listed on the console. You can repeat Part 1 to make sure only one device is visible at back end.
2.g - also ensure your device and ROM version are correctly listed on the MIUI form settings page. Refer the MIUI forum link i posted above.
2.g - goto Part 3. Ensure you have the sim installed all the time and you are online through a data connection.
Basically, what you have done is removed your device from the old account and added it to the new account.
Part 3 - this has been fairly discussed. Apply for the unlock permission and wait for confirmation. once you have got it, download the tool and try to unlock.
Just to let you know - i successfully unlocked my phone with this process. I was able to unlock within a few hours of receiving the confirmation message for the new account.
Good luck.
Hit thanks if this helped you

Unable to add breakpoint at 4504. It automatically goes to 4505.
Even after devId and ChannelId shows, I was only able to unlock officially when my mobile # and model was showing inside _phone :[<inside this>]. i think unless it shows, you will get the 50% error. And for me to have the details shown I had to flash dev ROM + added Xiaomi account and avoided adding any account till xiaomi account sync as well as all the other operations like Find Device( from phone + mobile browser) is complete. Also, I had added my phone number into the phone settings.
Note: Miui version was not showing in the forum settings but I was able to unlock. So, that as others referred to as required was not for me (But I had changed device correctly in that page ).
Hope this helps.
Edit: I also made sure only one SIM (one used for request unlock) is present in the 1st SIM slot while doing the DEV ROM flash. DEV Rom (EDL flashed this fastboot: kenzo_global_images_6.8.18)
Thanks

Great. It worked for you. For me, phone number never showed in there.. like in the screenshot but i was able to unlock.
I think the critical thing is to have the device listed as the only device on the account. For me the other account which had other devices mapped to it before, didnt work.
Was it the same for you? I mean, did you sign up for a new account and maybe using a new phone number?

+1 to switching to global dev.
However, I did install global dev via EDL flashing, because nothing seemed to work (I was in Global Stable 7.2.3)
I had signed in Mi Account using phone number on both Phone and Computer, accessed mi cloud via both Phone and Computer and was able to locate device on both, synced some test stuff to like photos. Did this when I got sms notification that unlock permission has been granted
Its worth noting that after getting my unlock permission, I only EDL flashed global beta after 2 days.:highfive:
So in summary, applied for unlock on day 1, got confirmation on day 3, unlocked offically on day 5.
Only one device on mi account used since it was created (which was on day 1)

I had my number connected to my existing miui a/c with MI3 but still after changing the model I never got the unlock request page. So, i created another a/c and used the same no. (first I removed from the existing a/c) and then i got the unlock page and got the permission after 3 days. But since then, I was seeing the value part of the key "_phone" always blank until I flashed global dev and followed the steps I had posted above. The moment I saw my mobile number and the model in the value part, I thought let's try again and voila! it went past 50% (like you achieved something you desperately needed ).

The creation of new account part is mandatory ?
I did not create a new account because I only had a linked phone. But after many tests and verify that appeared the phone, and online status, could not unlock.
Finally I flashed Chinese ROM DEV via EDL flash, and have unlocked at first try.
I think it's false that can be unlocked with stable rom, or at least should wait to them (Xiaomi) authorizes something more than MI account.
Recently I bought this phone and I've gone through all problems, error and struggles to unlock the bootloader. This tutorial will solve:
86012 error
10008 error
Cannot connect to network
Not receiving confirmation SMS
Stuck at 50%
Stuck at 99%
Current account is not bound to this device
Couldn't verify device
Requirements:
Mobile
PC
USB Cable
Internet connection
Let's start with the tutorial, the main advantage is that you don't need Developer ROM, it will work on Official builds also:
Setup your MIUI account by going to Settings -> Mi Account
Open the MIUI Browser from your phone, don't use PC on this step
Apply for permission here
Use your phone number with your country prefix to log in (ex. +38970123456 is for Macedonia)
Write a genuine reason, 2-3 sentences
After some time you will receive a confirmation SMS (it may take a few days, but with this method I got the SMS in 2 hours on 4 different Xiaomi devices)
Download Mi Unlocker from here
Enable developer options by going to Settings -> About phone and tap 7 times on MIUI version
Go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Settings and tick OEM Unlocking and USB debugging
Go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Settings -> Mi Unlock Status and press Unlock
Turn your Mobile data, Sync , WiFi and GPS on and wait for 5 minutes and don't turn them off afterwards
Go to Mi Cloud by clicking here
Login with your phone number
Click on Find device and locate your phone
In the folder where you've extracted the Mi Unlock tool, you will find a program called MiUsbDriver, open it and press Install
Log in to Mi Unlock by opening miflash_unlock on PC with the same phone number you used in obtaining the unlock permission
Switch off your phone and go into Fastboot by pressing Volume down and Power simultaneously and connect your phone to the PC
Once it shows a handset in Mi Unlock click on Unlock button
Wait for a minute and you are done
Your phone's bootloader is now UNLOCKED
NOTE: Some users may see something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's not a big deal, just wait the amount of hours that are shown there and then try unlocking the phone again. By using this tutorial you will get only 48 hours.
Good tutorial.
Thanks!
Maybe I can a little requirement.
It will be easier and faster to get SMS approval if you are at least Diamond Member at MIUI forum.
Got the permission yesterday but not able to unlock with lastest tool as it shows ''current account is not bound to this device'' error even though I added my account in dev option also the find my device is on
I can't even register my account and device in the Mi Unlock tab. Always getting the error "Couldn't verify, wait a minute or two and try again.". Any tips? Got my unlock permission about a week ago.
am not able to click on apply option at the bottom of page.. have tried it both on miui device as well as the computer
Is unlocking wipe the phone ?

Click on Find device and locate your phone
In the folder where you've extracted the Mi Unlock tool, you will find a program called MiUsbDriver, open it and press Install
Log in to Mi Unlock by opening miflash_unlock on PC with the same phone number you used in obtaining the unlock permission
Switch off your phone and go into Fastboot by pressing Volume down and Power simultaneously and connect your phone to the PC
Once it shows a handset in Mi Unlock click on Unlock button
Wait for a minute and you are done
Your phone's bootloader is now UNLOCKED
NOTE: Some users may see something like this
It's not a big deal, just wait the amount of hours that are shown there and then try unlocking the phone again. By using this tutorial you will get only 48 hours.

Still not able to unlock the bootloader.....Even after following the same procedure, am getting the following exception:
Current account is not bound with this device.
Please help me on this. Either we could try with fastboot commands.

I haven't had a problem unlocking my Bootloader. After an approved request from Xiaomi, I have unlocked it in just a minute or two. Plus, when my bootloader accidentally got locked, I can do it again and again without bothering to request an approval.
just found out that the china set is able to unlock without trouble, the global set is on trouble now, before Oct was okay, now xiaomi changed something and caused unknown error.
I have ordered my device recently and it is yet to be received, and to buy some time I made an unlock request with mi account, the first time it didn't send an SMS to my phone number, so I tried a virtual US number to receive the confirmation SMS and after the permission, The question is:
Will I be able to unlock my device without my phone number being the same as the one in the request form?
Hello there. I seem to be stuck in the permission request. I complete the form but it does not accept my name, it writes in red lettering "Please input correct name". I have tried using my email address, my Mi account name, my Mi account number, my real name ...nothing works.
Any ideas are more than welcome
Something that everyone missess
Something that everyone missess....Xiaomi server tries to locate you first before unlocking.
Different numbers wont work. You need the same number. Turn on your WiFi and GPS as well as data, just in case.
If you dont have a FB account create one. Link it to phone and number. Go to locate my phone and let Xiaomi server locate you on the map.
Try unlocking now and voila!

I have got the permission after 7 hours of the request without even having the device yet, and asked about the different numbers on Xiaomi forums and a moderators replied that I still can unlock it the regular say. Just waiting for the device to test.

Yes, You can unlock your device without any SIM inserted on device. Only thing is your account should be verified with valid number.

This error does not matter for unlocking. Try unlocking after 3 days
The reason which you mentioned during asking for unlock permissions matters on how fast you can unlock.
I have given reason like " I am android developer and I want to take advantage of root access", I was able to unlock in 2 days after getting permissions
PS : even I had same error " current account is not bound to device" but I was able to unlock it!
Making sure.

Hello XDA-Community,
I've got a Yoga Tab 3 Pro YT3-X90L from a customer.
He was telling me, that he wanted to unlock his device with the pattern, mismatched for several times and now its locked and requires the owners google account. Or something like that. He never had the owners google account. He told me that his seller has activated his device for him. And he has no clue who it was.
Now here is my part.
I've researched and obviously it's a FRP. The owners google account information are stored in the FRP-Partition. And this partition won't get deleted with a simple factory resett.
What i've tried so far:
1.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCzrnnh2K1w I was able to follow this tutorial to minute 9:08. But the option "Email and password" is not there anymore. I guess they patched it with 6.0.1.
2.) I tried to flash a stock rom or twrp with LenovoDownloader(QcomDLoader). The stock rom file is: Lenovo_Yoga_Tablet_3_YT3-X90L_ENG_S200028_1609230146. even its a german device this file was the only one i could find. But the LenovoDownloader won't recognize my device. The windows stays white, no entries. I guess i installed the correct driver for this device and Windows recognizes them as removable device if i plug it in via usb.
3.) I've tried to use adb and fastboot boot oem unlock. But this commands aren't working in locked state.
4.) With a trick i could open the Settings and was full of hope to active the developer options to set usb debbuging to active. But this developer options aren't available either with this "user".
5.) There is an apk for showing the "Email and password" interface. I could install it, but it force closes right after starting it.
6.) I've tried several tools to bypass this FRP: WinDroid Toolkit, D-G Unlocker, Realterm, but NOTHING.
What could i do further? I'm out of ideas right now.
I've read about a factory_update.img but i cant find anything, except the stock rom file, for this device.
Or downgrading the device, so i could use the "Email and password" but. But i can't even flash the stock rom.
Specs for the device:
Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro YT3-X90L
Lenovo/YT3_l0_row_lte
6.0.1/MMB29M/LenovoYT3-X90L_S200307_170614
i appreciate any help i can get
greets

I've wrote it down. Hope this helps.
Situation:
"Confirm account: The device has been reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device. "
Explanation:
The device has been blocked by repeated input of the wrong password, pattern, etc. and can only be unlocked with the Google account of the owner.
A factory reset or hard reset does not help here, as the account information is saved in its own FRP partition and will not be deleted when the factory state is restored.
Solution:
1. Connect device to a Wi-Fi and Internet access.
2. Before confirming "Next", select another hotspot here
3. Go to "Advanced Settings" and change the proxy settings of any hotspot to Manual.
4. In the text input field of the proxy settings you enter now any word: e.g. Test
5. Now mark this word and select "Assist" in the context menu.
6. Selecting this "Assist" option opens the Google search application.
7. You can now not only browse the Internet through this search, but also search for and open installed programs.
8. We are looking for Chrome, open the internet browser, go to www.google.com and search for DPC test.
Link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sampl...-release/test-dpc-4-0-6-android-apk-download/
9. After downloading this application, go back to the Google search application.
10. Here we enter "Download" to search for the download application.
11. In Downloads we can now find and install the downloaded app.
12. To allow the installation of this .apk, you must allow the installation of "unknown sources" in the settings.
13. Either you go here on the installation itself on "Settings", or you search for "Settings" on the Google search app.
14. After completing the installation of the DPC-Test program, start it with "Open".
15. The app itself is will register as a device owner and now allows us to set up a new Google Account as owner.
16. If this is set up, it will also be included in the FRP partition.
17. In the event of a new factory reset, the device is reset, the DPC-Test program is removed and the device can be freshly set up in the factory settings.
after the takeover of the owner, the reason for blocking the device was not present anymore and the old owner was overwritten. This will be overwritten in the FRP partition aswell with the new account and the old one no longer queried.
You, mister, are my savior! Thank you very much.
Solve works for Lenovo Yoga 3 tablet
Just a big giant thank you! My dad passed away leaving me a Lenovo Yoga 3 tablet, unable to gain access due to information stored in the FRP partition. :highfive:

I marked the word and only that is offered on the top right side is : SELLECT ALL - CUT - COPY.
There is no ASSIST option . I don't know, maybe this tablet on my desk has a newer android version with that option removed...
Is there any other solution? Probably will be helpfull for me as well for someone who will have tjis problem in the future
Thx in advance

Hi. Actually I'm not into this anymore. Could be possible they removed it since it might was reported.
If I have any idea I'll let you know it
A friend of mine has a RED Hydrogen One and has been experiencing weird behavior. Below are the steps:
1. Enter phone password
2. Press/tap enter to Unlock
3. Phone thinks, goes back to prompting for password
4. Enter an incorrect password
5. Press/tap enter
6. Get "Incorrect password" message is returned
In other words, the phone knows the password is correct, but when you tap to unlock it thinks for a moment and then goes back to the text box.
It does know, whoever, when you enter an incorrect password, so the password validation works.
She has a lot of sensitive documents stored in the physical phone storage (I know, I told her she should have never done that) so we are trying to avoid resetting if it is possible. Is there a place I can send the phone and have the data extracted? I tried connecting it to my laptop, but without USB for File Transfer enabled, it never sees the files from the phone.
Thanks in advance,
Danny
