Hi guys. I would like to know a thing:
I have bought a Mi 8 already unlocked from a shop. If I want to relock the bootloader again and bound my account to it, for future unlocks in case of wrong flash with Mi Flash (default flash mode is: "clean all and relock", that I can also omit to see for error), can I flash China without incurring in a brick? Because the phone will be delivered to me with Global Rom (that I know generate a brick with relocked bootloader).
Thanks to who will answer me.
I have the same question... It's possible change the account used for the bootloader unlock?

Without any other method to do this, we can only relock bootloader and follow the common way to unlock it with own account.

I purchased a Xiaomi mi 8 with unlocked bootloader without notice from the reseller. The outcome when I updated with miflash was a bricked phone. When I tried to use miunlock I saw a message that my phone is not bound to this account.

Mhh... Seems you have used the third option of Mi Flash (clean all and relock).
Have you tried to relock bootloader with China ROM or Global ROM?

Nothing seems to work. I can change Roms using adb sideload but the problem is that always is a bootloop.

I am using xiaomiadb.exe . You boot in recovery mode and then you drag and drop the rom over xiaomiadb. Pc suit sees the version. I have managed this way to change many roms, but the main problem is the boot loop.

Yes, I have tried everything I could think of. I am afraid that the only solution is to use Mi unlock, but I can't to that because the reseller send me the phone with unlocked bootloader. The program checks at the begging if I have permissions, then checks if the phone is a Mi 8, it passes that test too, but the message I get then is that this phone is not bound to this account.

I have asked Xiaomi Global service about that. They don't offer support. They don't recognize the Chinese e-shops as authorized resellers. And I suppose that a phone can't be bound to two accounts. The only thing I can say for sure is that the global version has a red label on the box and the manual is in English. Watch the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nx-jjTVh_8&t=107s

So it can't be possible to flash anything (also China, that was the born ROM of this phone) with option "Clean all and relock" of Mi Flash, without incurring in a bootloop?
The fact is that you can bound the phone to every account, if you can boot it with locked bootloader.
But if this can't be done, developer options menu will show you that bootloader is already unlocked, without possibility of bound your own account.
Oh wait, you can't use mi flash because your account it's not authorized for EDL.
Now I have understand because you can't relock bootloader. ?

When miunlock starts it checks if I have permission for EDL. It passes the test. But then it says that my phone is not bound to my account. The bootloader was unlocked so I suppose someone has bound my phone with his account.

Ok, so you can't use Mi Flash.
Now it's all clear.
Thanks for your explanation. ?
I'm having an idea ... My device is about to arrive. It will be a Chinese variant with bootloader unlocked by the store for installation of a global ROM. So if I flashed a Chinese ROM again, I could re-block the bootloader, correct? So I will boot the phone with the blocked bootloader in the Chinese ROM and I can associate my account and unlock the bootloader again, only this time with my own account. Would it work?
Sorry for my english, I'm using the Google Tradutor.

The problem is that you need to bound your account to your Mi 8, otherwise you can't use Mi Flash to relock your phone.
And you also can't lock it by fastboot, because this operation delete recovery and system partitions, generating a total brick.
Unfortunately my current Mi Max 2 was one of these unlucky phones, and I have learn lesson myself.
The best thing that you can do is:
Use last version of Mi PC Suite 3 to flash global and twrp to flash custom, and if you need to return on global from twrp, just flash original Xiaomi recovery and reuse Mi PC Suite 3.

Υοu're welcome. It's my first ever Xiaomi but I think that for a while because it's a new phone of the market we must leave it untouched for a while. I mean rooting, custom roms, e.t.c.

Xiaomi has arrived to Europe, but Chinese version still continue to be less expensive (and interesting), but unfortunately not excluded from this type of inconveniences.

It has not written "android one" on back cover, OTA updates fail and I bought it as a mi 6X. The problem is wich this device has bootloader locked, ARB v4, and A2 recovery. Also methods to unlock A2's bootlaoder fail.

Yeah, seems like the same case here in my country, those sellers import the Chinese mi 6x and they install a fake rom in it to make it look like a global version :silly:
No worries though.
First, in order to unlock your bootloader you need to setup mi account into your device, but you can't with your current fake rom, therefore you need an official rom. Do you know how to install one?
I'm waiting for the guide too
My a2 does not go into edl even with the particular USB cable, I have the bootloader locked.

1-Do you have Mi account?

sorry, man but i am afraid whoever sold you that was a complete bastard your gonna now have to open up your phone and force edl mode although on the plus side you can choose if you want mi a2 or mi 6x depends your choice over partition and stock rom etc, or you can take it to a service centre dont know

I have a MI account, but i can't associate it in Developer mode.
I can enter in fastboot mode.
I was thinking, and I got this creazy idea, what if you changed your imei number with a current mi 6x number that already associated with mi account. Creazy huh
There's some stolen Mi 6X, and they have arb (anti=4) and A2 roms, too.
It seems selling on Xianyu (闲鱼) or Taobao (淘宝).
It will trigger lost mode (maybe) when you back to stock MIUI.
If you can, suggest to perform refunding.
FInally I bricked the phone then i unbrick it and i installed the MIUI.

I don't known why, the system found the upgrades and prepared the installation (usually this step fails) then appeared the message "reboot to install". After I rebooted the phone, it was bricked so i followed this guide (https://en.miui.com/thread-3811342-1-1.html) to unbrick and flash an official ROM.
Hi, guys. Such an unpleasant thing happened to me today. I have received my new xiaomi mi 9... But it has came with unlocked bootloader so i have locked it. And when i locked it then the phone got stuck on the recovery mode saying "this miui version can't be installed on this device" but it already came with this MIUI i did not change nothing i just wanted to lock the bootloader. Now i am bricked and i can't do nothing, i have tried to wipe all data, but did not help...
Does anybody know what can i do in this case?

Thank you very much for help. I have read both but unfortunately i can not UNLOCK my bootloader… when i was trying to unlock the bootloader through MI UNLOCK, it says "Current account is not bound to this device". Otherwise if this was succesful and i could unlock it, then it would be easy i believe.

Since you locked the boot loader, you'd have to flash (with fastboot) using the same flavor of miui which was installed. (example: chinese or eu variation), otherwise you won't be able to boot.

Yes, that i understood… There was EU variation with unlocked bootloader, which i do not know why, but okay…
But now i can not unlock it, it says, when i try to unlock it though fastboot with mi unlock, it says "Current acount is not bound to this device, ADD your acount and device in MIUI"s setting > developer options> mi unlock status.. but obviously i can not do it since i can not turn on my phone, its stuck on recovery mode.

I can help you
First of all you need chinese mi assistant
Second you need try three versions of roms(eeu , china , global) but im pretty sure that your phone is chinese version that bought from gray market and they unlock bootloader to install global rom
After you download these tell me, i guide you
Be sure download recovery rom (not fastboot)
It has .zip extension not tgz

If you know how to sideload the rom then everything is become okay dont worry
After successful debrick you must bound you mi account to your phone and wait for bl unlock then reflash with mi flash tool and global rom
AND DONT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Yes, unfortunately i do not know how to sidload the rom... But when i have Chinese rom downloaded then what do i do with that? I connect the phone through mi assistant and there it can be flashed?
I had the same thing happen. You need to force a firmware flash ?
I had someone on xda recommend an excellent recovery tool.
It's called 'miflashpro'. It can be hard to find the English version. I did eventually but actually unbricked my Mi9 with the Italian version.
99% chance your cell can be fixed this way
bricked too
I'm having the same problem here, after wipe in twrp mode my phone restart and i'm blocked on bootloader screen.

I did the same thing with a Mi CC9 relocked the bootloader by mistake thinking it was like any other android phone. Did you have a Xiaomi account associated with the phone and signed into after enabling oem unlock in developer options.
If tha'ts the case you can use https://en.miui.com/unlock/ tool from where but it checks your phone number to see whether its associated with mi unlock.
Otherwise you will have to use EDL method which involves disassembling back of phone and shorting out two pins to initialize EDL data transfer but you need a EDL associated account this (belief xiaomi has revoked everyone access to these)
Hello all members.I had same problem and I open this phone with suport from youtube .I try clean some connector and worming cpu and motherboard. After change the battery with new. When close the phone they suprised me and working good.After 10 hours again close and bricked.

I hope some other find which connector have problem in this phone and pm me. Now my MI 9 working good but I keep bickerful ...

This is Mi 9T Pro but i ain't sure which version is that.
So basically i have an issue that the phone won't boot after my dad updated the device.
I tried to flash the ROM but apparently i flashed the wrong rom and by accident i even locked the bootloader.
The phone's state is Locked
I can't boot to ROM
I try to unlock it with Mi Unlock Tool but it ask to add account to MIUI Settings and ofc it's unaccassable.
I try to unlock it from fastboot and no success.
If anyone can help me with a solution, I'll be very grateful.
