Hello all!
I recently bought a second hand Xiaomi MI A2 online however I found a problem.
The previous owner did a factory reset on it but I'm stuck in the initial set up configuration because it asks me for the google account credentials attached to the phone. I texted the previous owner but had no answer.
So I tried to flash the official ROM to bypass the issue but I get an error message from Xiaomi Flash Tool saying "remote: Flash is not allowed in Lock State".
I think this is happening for one of the following reasons:
The previous owner didn't enable USB Debugging (thing I can't do because I'm stuck in the set up configuration)
The bootloader is locked (and I can't unlock it because I don't have the credentials of the attached account)
Does anyone knows how can I solve this problem?
Thank you for your attention

Just unlock bootloader(critical too) and use miflash
I also have a Mi A2 stuck in android logo screen can't can't boot into device developer options to unlock bootloader.
Fastboot oem unlock give me error flashing is not allowed.
Is there anyway around this?

Thanks. I've tried the MIFlash Tool and I get Error Flashing Not allowed in Lock State. I've also tried the MI A2 ToolKit and get the same message. Basically anything I try and do states device is locked or unable to run in Lock State.
Boot Loader is currently locked and I cannot access developer mode to enable OEM unlocking. Question I have is :
- Can I use EDL Cable to work around this or do EDL cables not longer work with Newer Xiaomi phones?
- If EDL cable doesn't work, is the tespoint method my only option.
thanks in advance

I would try a wipe from the recovery but if that doesnt work then just test point the phone. It isnt that hard, I had to do it myself today because of a soft brick. You just need a T3 screwdriver really. Take out the 2 bottom screws. Take a razor and slide it under the corner of the display and lift it enough the get a credit card in there. Then just work around and you should be able to get the screen off. Take the small metal plate off just above the battery and disconnect the battery and the connector on the right. There will be the test points, short them out, connect the phone to the pc(you can stop shorting out the points when it gets detected) and you have like 10-15secs to start flashing the phone in miflash(obviously you need to have the drivers already set up).
I have same problem with xiaomi mi a2 which had bootloop. Was not able to start device at all so no oem unloco no developer options and no usb debug. It was possible only adb sideload and fastboot. Adb sideload did nothing. I was trying to flash with adb sideload but it stops at 47% with message 1.00 x. Did try several roms with same results. Then i tried fastboot options. Falied to unlock not allowed. Itsl was impossible to get even into phone to activate developer options so i can activate oem unlock and the rest. I tried edl mode which did flash but then i got error message in bootloader it failed to mount system etc. Then i tried mi x6 rom to convert phone to another which doesnt have usual recovery mode but a stripped oem recovery mode. Now when u go back to mi a2 rom its bricked so there is no option of adb at all now. I tried to use mi x6 mi assistant option but app wont recognize usb connection it shows try normal mode then switch. When activating mi assistant on phone it does recognize rom version from recovefy flash in mi assistant app but when it downloads update rom version it cant continue. With pixel you can do anything with adb and it is so easy but xiaomi sucks big time. You cant do anything. Fastboot flashing unlock critical and fastboot oem unlock gets error failed. Flashing not allowed. U tried diferent cables but no luck. So now what? Thats why i hate adb. On samsung odin you can do impossible possible. Even with sp tools on mtk. Even boxes works flawlessly but xiaomi system is just thr worse. It doesnt matter if you get soemthing lost there is always a solution to other phones.
After having device sit as a paper weight for a few months, i broke down and ordered a phone repair kit. Opened device up and flashed via test point method. Worked Flawless. Time to enable OEM unlock so i don't have to open it up again. Thanks to community for all the help.
Use cmd
- go to fastboot then "fastboot oem unlock"
- go to fastboot again "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
Flash with mi flash
Done
Just stumbled upon this and while may be 18 months too late, here's the step by step process to flash ROM on MI A2 that's giving error "Flash is not allowed in Lock State":
1) switch off device
2) enter fastbood mode (press hold power+vol down few seconds)
3) connect device with laptop
4) install and open adb folder on laptop (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
5) within adb folder -- shift + right click = open powershell here
6) fastboot flashing unlock_critical
7) step #6 may be pointless if phone is bricked but do it anyway
8) fastboot oem edl
9) find and download latest stock rom for your device (FASTBOOT version). It'll be .tgz file
10) extract the image folder from within (would be the same name as .tgz file)
11) open miflash (coudln't find link but look it up, it's easy)
12 select the image folder you extracted in step #10
13) click refresh. device name appear means it's recognized
14) from bottom of mi flash tool select whatever you want. I do "clean all"
15) flash (top right mi flash tool)

you need to open phone with screwdriver & do the test point ..search for video on YouTube...then EDL deepflash state you can use miflash to put back OFFICIAL only rom to device.
Hello I have a Mi A2 with ONE.
I tried to install Mi6X following this guide:
Guide
I got to step 9:
9- Click Refresh on Mi Flash Then choose Clean all and click flash
Then I got this error:
Error oem edl miflash tool, ACK count don't match
Then I tryed instead to install Jasmine again, and I started getting this error:
Cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status
And then I was stupid enough to unplug my phone
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM (rigth now)
1. My phone will start, then stay at Mi(mi.com) logo indefinitely.
2. I can't enter download mode, Vol + and power will bring me the Mi logo again and again.
3. Can enter Fastboot mode... BUT...
-Mi flash don't detect it
-miflash_unlock don't detect it
-edl.cmd, unlock auto, and unlock critical say "< waiting for device >"
Edit: I solved the problem using test point to enter EDL mode, then It connected and I could flash it.
our phones (mia2) are weird devices to be honest, mine was recently bricked after choosing the "reboot to bootloader" option in twrp. id recommend you to go to mi service center if your phone is still in warranty

Can it be that my cable somehow magically from one conection to another stoped working or something? I asked a friend for his cable... Cs are not as common in this country yet.

I had the same issues like you months ago. The only solution you buy a pentalobe 0.8mm for iphone, a small philips screw driver, and a tweezer. Flash your phone in EDL mode. You need to contact 2 pins. You can search the location of the pins, how to disassemble the phone by googling it. then just flash Mi A2 stock ROM first, then convert it to Mi 6X again. I

Hey guys, i have MI A2 cellphone, and after auto update programmed to three hours the smartphone show "AndroidONE" logo and then shutdown, i tried "Fastboot oem unlock", but it is my output:
PHP:

FAILED (remote: 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed

Finished. Total time: 0.000s
. I'm desperate, I do not know what to try anymore, I believe I do not have unlock OEM activated, someone can help me?
Sorry for bad english, i'm from brazilian.
@LukeSkyPTBR
It's a well-known issue. One update was revoked as soon as Xiaomi has found out about phones bricking once it's installed. There's no way you can fix it by yourself except if you have ordered your phone from China (and so no warranty you have) and have experience in disassembling phones. There's a thing called test-point, do some research if you are self-assured in that area. Otherwise let your authorized service center make everything for you. It is a warranty case, either way.

Thanks, looks that, unfortunately, my unique solution is test-point for activate EBL Mode... I will leave the topic open for the case of i get other solutions... after 3 days, if not get, i will close and the unique solution will really test-point.
Try rebooting it a couple of times and see if it boots. Or plug it to a charger and try booting it once it starts to charge successfully. If all fails, flashing via EDL might be your only option.
Try rebooting more than couple of time. Phone is supposed to switch to the other slot of A/B where original ROM (before update) resides. When it finally boots, get developer rights, switch on ADB Debugging and OEM unlock, thus next time update soft-bricks your phone you'll be able to unlock (or even better unlock immediately after successful boot not to loose your data in future).
Isnt Fastboot OEM Unlock command deprecated ? Shouldn't you use the unlock / unlock critical command ?

How can I do it? I leave the phone in the charger for a long time? Or do you need the power button for a long time?
I tried to press the power button for 2 minutes and nothing happened.
When i leave the smartphone on the charge, after 50 minutes, show for me 100% percent, so, i pressed power button and the screen stayed lock in "AndroidONE", nothing happened, until try again press power button.

I can enter fastboot mode, but this is not enough to do run commands up. I would need unlock bootloader(OEM).

If you can enter fastboot then you can go to EDL mode by typing 'fastboot reboot edl' and then use QPST to flash the latest stock rom.

Do as tabun1994 said.
This will hopefully get the system up again.
The commands I wrote would unlock the bootloader. What else could I have meant?
If you succeeded with tabun's method, then you probably would only need to enable "USB debugging" and "OEM unlocking" in the ROM's developer options (which you'll enable by hitting "build number" in settings like 10 times or so).
Then you would connect the device and accept the 'trust this device' warning.
After booting to fastboot now, the commands I wrote should work and unlock the bootloader (if you even want that when your system is running again).

This command needs OEM Unlock :/
this is my output: fastboot: usage: unknown reboot target edl
The test point method is actually easy , you have to dissasemble the display , easy procedure , remove the battery and short the two test points with tweezerz or something ,and in the meantime you plug the usb cable into the computer. It should install the Qusb_Hub drivers , and with miFlash you should be able to reflash the firmware . I bought a phone that was in this state and fixed it using these steps.
No more solutions, I will do the test point method, thanks to everyone who tried to help otherwise.

No it doesn't, i have tried this method on locked bootloader, go to this link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...e-how-to-reboot-to-edl-fastboot-t3394292/amp/

11- Opened Mi flash
12- Miflash have installed all the drivers
13- When i click on refresh the Fastboot icon(the android and the soviet cat) dissapears and the only thing i have is in one corner "press any key to shutdown"
Important data:
-i have windows 10 with usb 3.1 and 2.0
-USB debugg is locked
-By pure luck once i managed to do a full boot sequence but when it finished the layout of the screen was different, like another version and i started updating it, after a couple of updates it stuck again on bootloop.
- i have no idea what was the original version on the room but in the last point and in nº 3 it was 10.0.7.
- i have nothing that i cannot recover so i dont mind wiping out my userdata
-i have considered a test point but i dont know if it going to work
-return it to amazon its my last ressort
- i read about the issues in december and january with the bootloop but i tried everything
-i have acces to a computer with linux
-its very difficult to start the fastboot logo/menu and almost impossible the recovery mode, it almost always ends with phone booting, when i plug it onto my pc it start with the bootloop.
-sometimes when i click on refresh while the phone with the screen in black or starting up with the android one logo it changes to fastloop automatically
- also tried a hard resset and nothing changed
I have no clue what to do, should i do the test point, ask for another in amazon, spray it with holy water??
Sorry for the possible typos and all the numbers i wanted to explain myself and to put some order in my head.
Please help and Thanks in advance

I think you should connect your phone via USB 2.0, from my previous experience, the USB 3.0 port will give press any key to shutdown message on your phone

Does the same
I gave up
Using the fastboot mode and the adb voids the warranty?

In this case I think you haven't unlock your bootloader, or haven't unlock both OEM and critical. Following up your steps, you didn't mentioned this part.
Have you done these codes?
fastboot flashing unlock
And
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
?
Select OEM unlock in settings doesn't unlock your bootloader automatically

Hello everyone today i flash an incompatible rom with twrp and my screen turn completely black After reboot twrp in recovery .
Do you have solution ?
Sorry for my bad English
Hi if you can open bootloader, flash stock rom
The easy solution is press power+volume down. Phone should boot into fastboot mode. Then flash fastboot ROM without relocking the bootloader.
The other way is taking phone to service center. They'll flash stock in edl mode.
I can't seem to put it in fastboot mode. but by pressing the 3 buttons or by changing the buttons I managed to put it in something else I think that at times I manage to put it on a fastboot but the screen always remains black impossible to know i have this message in device manager (Unknown usb devices request for descriptor) do you think it causes me to reinstall drivers what could be the cause? how to adjust as soon as i can connect it so l is not a Qualcomm USB hs 2008.

Doesn't EDL need authorized mi account these days? It'd better to visit service center because installing EDL driver & all the fuss will be useless
May be you can find some drivers which can recognise your phone to work with ADB in fastboot and flash a new ROM. If that doesn't work, then a service center is the next best option.

Sounds like your device boots into EDL mode, likely due to a corrupted bootloader from the incompatible firmware you've flashed. If you have the EDL firehose files for your device, you can use QFIL to flash a compatible ROM, alternatively try to EDL flash the boot partition with a working boot (that may get you from EDL to a soft brick with a working bootloader and Fastboot - from there you can try try and flash a working firmware).

I unfortunately tried to install all the drivers but nothing has worked difficult to know if a fastboot is started it's a hassle when the screen is completely black even with the task manager open I don't I did not succeed finally I ended up paying someone who had me unlock my phone it cost me 29 € my phone is now unlocked which I can advise on the other hand for those who would like to install roms or root their phone is good it is to wait until no auth file is leaked

I see it's super interesting as information I did not know that we could flash only a partition with QFIL.
Unfortunately I could not find the firehose files for the phone as the phone is probably very recent.
I had to pay someone to unlock my phone with an edl account of course .
My work now
Was the unlocking done in person or online? Anyways glad to see it's sorted out.
