Hi,
I have a Xiaomi Redmi S2 (Y2) sitting for two years without use cause it got stuck locked by a Xiaomi Mi account that was deleted with the phone still associated to it. Now that I am reparing phones/electronics for fun, I wanna give the device a second life.
I tried to delete the Mi account with Miracle box Thunder 2.82 (by EDL) but it threw me the "Read error ID: 10001" (I don't think it was the ports, since it assign it the COM3). So, I couldn't use the anti-lock option either.
I managed to remove the Mi account with the Unbricker Redmi S2 (YSL) executable. It worked flawesly (although I don't know if that program prevents the relock, I assume that it only edits the rawprogram0.xml). Also I had FRP and I could remove it with MRT 2.6.
The case is, this phone has MIUI 10, the oldest version available is MIUI9 and the bootloader is locked. I tried to EDL flash with MiFlash from EDL the last official Gobal Stable ROM (MIUI11) ... and I get the credentials dialog of the MI account (I imagine that the account is still stored somewhere. This is not a problem, I could use the modified and signed .mbn programer/loader file to bypass authentication.
Thank you very much in advance!.
Nice forum, great design by the way.

- After deleting the account like that, am I gonna have any problem with time?. I mean, is there anyway to unlock it completely? I mean, using it totally normal without any posible relock again with an update or something? (I am not going to use Xiaomi accounts or the Mi cloud).
- Do I need to do something more additionally like use the relock function in some boxes? Do I need to do the adb command to disable find_device in the phone?
Thank you very much in advance!.
