    Sir, I am using the redmi 3s prime for 4 years. I want to root it now. Now the mi unlocks website, where we have to write the reason, isn’t required. But in my phone’s developer setting=mi open status, it asks to add my MI Account. But for some reason, it always results in an error, and I couldn’t add it. Is there anything I can do? Is this step necessary to move forward and unlock the bootloader using the open tool?
