did you solved ?
I faced the same issue on my Mi8 few days ago when I relocked the bootloader after flashing Global ROM. The phone got bricked. What i simply did was to put the phone in Fastboot and once again Unlock the bootloader using official Xiaomi Unlock tool. It was unlocked immediately and phone booted normally.

Sorry but its not valid, if you forced EDL rebbot the device will be restart but not in EDL mode...
Does not work properly...SORRY
Did you tried that ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
Look like there´s a patched fastboot to force EDL boot
Was tested on Redmi Note 3, don´t know if could work on Mi8, but it´s an option.
I come in via test point.

The problem with test point is the fact that you have to open your cellphone!

they are looking for modified fastboot flash files to avoid edl authentication. Until now testpoint and edl deep cable not work
The device can be in edl mode but it needs authority from xiaomi to start flashing

That! In the MIUI forum, there is a topic to get a place in the EDL authentication queue, but it is for just an unbrick. Get a researched there!

for me it didn't work. I am waiting for 10 days with 2 different accounts and noone activated any of my account to try the flash for my hard bricked devices (2 of them).
I send email and the official service of xiaomi told me to send them to the shop that i bought them.
I also need , as too many of xiaomi devices users, an EDL auth account because of hard bricked mi 8....
I really wish that developpers and even hackers will find a way to get around this EDL auth. (maybe in redirecting to false xiaomi serv (emulation) or via a modified fastboot image)...
Let us know iif something is moving !

So far from my researched through forums, the only way is getting authorised Mi Account with Mi Flash Tool.
And I did not get the EDL authorisation...
It's simple. DO NOT RELOCK BOOTLOADER. Just unlock it and keep it that way.

Xiaomi should show customer oriented policies.
If Xiaomi is not able to give priority to its customer and their complaints related Mi products then it is hard to buy Mi Products.
Good Looking products and Good performance is OK but Xiaomi should show customer oriented policies where customers are treated as a vital part.
Six month ago i purchased Redmi Note 5 Pro now Its bricked and Xiaomi is not able to give prompt solution.Even i ask them that Mi PC suit is not working with latest Mi mobiles but still did not received solution.
Many times information available on Forum is correct than the information available from customer care of Xiaomi.
Xiaomi Customer care just play with standard format Emails.
I have purchased Xiaomi Note 3,4 and now 5 then Headphones and Power Bank.
I used to like their products but as their service is so Bad. Im feeling that i have invested in Wrong Company and Wrong Product.
It bricks also if you do a full recovey with TWRP. After an unsuccessful installation for example. Thats what I did. Now my few day old phone is a brick. Received the same answer from global support. I have to wait for the approving of my account. This was not only my first but also my last Xiaomi phone! Better stay with One Plus.
Authorized accounts are being sold at s-unlock(.)com . I fixed my Mi8 flashing china stable rom in edl.

before it happened my phone could only go to twrp recovery and bootloader mode because it had no oc the i installed a firmware named (fw__miui_HM3Global_V9.5.3.0.LAIMIFA_7ee05887b5_5.1.zip) using the twrp after tapping reboot my phone never rebooted its hard bricked because the screen is always black no matter what button combination i hold nothing happens the xiaomiflashtool reads it as COM10 and pc reads it as (Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM10)) i wanna know if i have any hope of getting my device back or am i screwed because cant afford an other one.
EDIT:i used the miflash tool on a different computer it reads the phone as COM4 now and when i try to flash the ROM i get an error with this texte "cannot receive hello packet"
i found online that the only fix for that is if i get an authorized miflash account
is that right? and if so how is it possible to get one? this is a problem that most people who brick there phones get . it would help alot if we solve the problem in this thread . thank u for your time.
Hi
I have same problem on my mi 8 se locked bootloader with system has been destroyed
Did you find any real solution please?
I have a phone which wont recognized via fastboot. Do you think EDL could help in this case?
Try some original CN Firmwares. This works for my brick.
What is this authorized account thingy? I got my account's permission to unlock bootloader since 2016 and I used a method (googled "miui how to know if your account is authorized" and the first link) (cus i am new i cant post links) to check if the account is authorized and it is apparently. Didn't you unlock your device's bootloader with your own account because it should be authorized or I dont know...?

Search for "XIAOMI Anti-Rollback Protection"
This is different than unlock permission. This thing is such a nightmare. I hardbricked my phone because of this, only after I paid 20$ for authorised account access, my phone got back to life.

My account is apparently authorized. I will ask some more in other places. I have been reading a lot and I think that it is authorized but not 100% sure if I will be able to unbrick devices.

No this is not what i meant. My mi account also show this to me.
Only authorized sellers have authorized accounts like Xiaomi india, xiaomi taiwan repair service etc. Users can not have it.
When you try to flash your phone via EDL it stops and ask you authorized account. But if you don't hardbrick your phone, you can flash with your account :good:
Hi,
So I got just the Xiaomi Mi 8. The seller said they installed global rom thereselves and therefore I wanted to install the global rom from Xiaomi so I know I got a fresh rom with nothing added in the background.
So I used the Xiaomi Flash program and flashed it with Xiaomi Mi 8 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File.
Now it boots in recovery mode and says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
I tried to reflash it with Xiaomi flash and it gives me an error " Erase is not allowed in Lock State".
So I tried to unlock via the Mi unlock account which tells me it can't because my account isn't signed in with the phone. Go into settings and sign in which I can't.
So I am a bit stuck here.
I read only people with special EDL accounts or Xiaomi service centers can fix this issue. Is that correct?
I live in Australia so there is no Xiaomi service center near me. I don't know anyone with a special EDL account.
What do I do from here now?
Thanks,

I am very sure you did "Flash and lock" because it is default option in Xiaomi Flash tool. Your only option is to send it to the seller for him to unlock it. Or maybe if you can boot to fastboot then you can get token from getvar command but I don't know what to do with it so you have to figure it out.
Sent from my MI 8 using Tapatalk
Yeah I did. How was I supposed to know though. The Xiaomi app tells you nothing of it. That's what I have usually selected in the past.
Seriously if this is the only way the fix it then Xiaomi just lost a long term customer. They need to warn their customers if they want to allow stores to have access to mess with the phones but no access to customers to repair that.
Unfortunately 2018 Miflash versions have default option set to flash and lock, not flash_all like before - so its easy to miss it and lock bl during flash.
You have bought chinese variant with unlocked bootloader by xiaomi dev account. Your only hope now is to... open the device, do a testpoint flash with chinese rom with Mi Account authorization and then unlock bootloader by your own Xiaomi account. Getting Mi account authorization is the hardest point here.
Due to such accidents, NEVER use any tool for this action. There are a bat file for Windows and sh file for Linux OS's included in the compressed file you've downloaded, you just need to run the desired one. It's completely closed to any accidents and you can delete those two files that will end you up with locked bootloader for further attempts.

Did you bring your phone to the seller?
No. The seller is in Hong Kong. I'm in Melbourne Australia.
How can I actually check if I got an authorised account? I found a account auth in the Mi flash program and tried it and it just says my account is bind to this computer now. How useless is that? Isn't it meant to tell me if I got authorised status or not ??

actually Xiaomi is not in the fault here, as you purchase phone which intended for China, whereas you should buy the global version.
Xiaomi did due to lot of people buy chinese version and use global rom and sell it again as global version.
you supposed to search and know all risk before purchase phone which not sold officially in your country

I would say Xiaomi is at full fault. They know people flash Chinese phones to get away from all the spyware and crap that sellers put on to the phones.
People talking about bricked phones somewhere on the internet/forums does nothing to warn people. If Xiaomi knew they would brick people's phones this way then they should warn you in their MI flash program. It is just low and very disappointing as I really do like Xiaomi products but if they are just not going to support their customers or warn them basically not at all then like I said they basically lost a customer who won't be buying any of their products any more.
And what a bout all those people who bricked their phones as soon as the Xiaomi Mi 5 or which ever it was came out and there was no warning on the forums at all. Was it their fault as well?

So search the forums for people with Mi Authorised account or do you mean go to Indonesia...?
And how do I find out if my account is authorised? I think I might of authorised it some years ago but I don't know how to check.
When I tried the account_auth.exe and put my log in details in, it said verifying and then gave me this message:
" This Computer Is Bound To Your Account"
What does that mean?

like I said, why you buy chinese version in the first place? you can buy global version from country which Xiaomi sell Mi 8 officially (like India, Singapore or Malaysia). if you buy global version, you will have global rom out of the box and won't brick your phone in the first place.
if Chinese people want to flash global rom, they need to request unlock to Xiaomi which Xiaomi will explain what can bricked their phone.
actually Xiaomi never recommended their phone to be unlocked. you know when you want to modify any system which not officially supported by the manufacturer, all risk is on you right?
and Xiaomi is more friendly to enthusiast community compared to other OEM. only OnePlus and Google itself who I know is more friendly than Xiaomi.
but enough who is fault, as this already happen and you need to solve your bricked phone right?

what I mean is that you try to find people in that forum who have Mi Authorized Account and contact them. they can do two things, one is they lend their ID (but I think it's nearly impossible) and second is you send your phone to them and they will unlock it.
other than that you won't have others way and your phone will remain bricked
Fair enough.
Though I am sure my account is already authorised because I requested it on the Mi website maybe 2 years ago and the Mi flash app says I am "This Computer Is Bound To Your Account" which according to what I read online means my account is authorised.
If that is right, can I open the phone myself, unplug the battery, plug the USB in, connect the two test points and flash with Mi flash?
Thanks for your help.

You always can give it a shot, but if there are any Xiaomi shops in your country, the official thread says that you can hit them up for a help. Give it a try and see if you can get your phone rescued. I guess the only way to learn if your account is authorized is just trying.

from what I read, the binding to your computer doesn't mean your account is Authorized.
and what do you mean by request via Mi website? you mean you request to unlock your bootloader? if yes it's different, as I have account that can unlock bootloader but not Authorized Account.
Mi Authorized Account can flash rom without bootloader unlocked, whereas the one you request I think is permission to unlock bootloader, not bypass bootloader.
from MIUI forum, you need to check first. did you receive pass from sms or email? as stated below
It will ask for your authorization pass if your Mi Account is the authorized one. You might have received the pass via email or SMS on your registered mobile number. Otherwise, it will recall that your Mi Account is not authorized to flash the phone.

I am not sure. I did that about 2 years ago. I am sure it was on a website but I could be wrong as well.
I just followed this guide:
http://en.miui.com/thread-2820162-1-1.html
And i get the exact same as that last photo - My computer is now bound to this account, you can start.
I suppose if my account isn't authorised I will just have to pay one of those online websites to teamview my computer and use their account...
But I can send the phone back to the seller. They will charge me about $30 USD(could be more after they actually get it) and they told me they will send it to a Xiaomi Centre in China. What I want to know is will Xiaomi just do the same? Open it up, test point and flash it? If so I rather do it myself than wait months for it to return.
Thanks,
I'm going to give this a shot tomorrow. Does it matter what rom I use???
Is there a guide on how to do it properly for my practicular phone?
Hi guys,
I have just read a previous post from "abdulmaalik1tt" about a problem after an accidental bootloader closing. I have a similar problem but in my case, I think it is harder.
I intentionally closed the bootloader after installing everything in my K20 Pro, but I didn't know that if it is closed by other one than the one who opened it, the phone will brick.
I tried to unlock again, but in 99% the app gives me an error, and ask me to change something in developer options. Obviously, I can't do so, because the phone doesn't boot.
I tried to use miflash but it gives me an error because the bootloader is now closed
Is there a way to unbrick my phone? Should I throw it away through the window?
Thank you in advance.
same case, you open the back, do test point method, if you Mi account is not EDL authorized, you can borrow, or call the guys that help many k20 pro user in XDA.
please help
do you get any solution to this case? i have the same issue.
I had the same problem. Sadly the only thing you can do yourself (it's also the fastest and cheapest option) is to open your smartphone, short the two EDL points on the motherboard to access the EDL mode, contact someone with an authorized Xiaomi account to input his username and password in the Mi Unlock tool (through Teamviewer) and enable you to install the stock Chinese firmware.
The only other option, sadly, which I didn't like at all, is to send it to a Xiaomi service point.
And all of this because the default option in the Mi Flash tool is "install and LOCK". Idiotic.
PM me if you need the contact of the guy with the authorized acc.
if you can boot in fastboot try unlock bootloader with miflash unlock but old version it work for me later unlock bootloader you can flash stock with miflash again
I am in same boat - fake global rom, flashed forgetting to set to Clean all only - so bootloader locked.
Seller is no reachable - so looks like this is my only way.
When you guys say 'short' these two pins - how did you do that? with a paperclip? and you mean from one pin to the other pin?
--Update for future reference of others---
My K20 Pro has been restored with help from the Russian contact provided on previous page - ask nicely, he is very busy so don't waste his time.
My experience was great, he was patient, we made appointment time over whatsapp, we have to try twice as i couldn't get into EDL mode (try a different pair of scissors or tweezers).
Once in EDL he logged into his mi account via my team viewer session and flashed the rom i has prepared (chinese original fastboot).
Right after flashing - had a bit of trouble booting up the first time, it didn't boot when pressing the power button (no usb cable), when i plug in USB cable - it showed 100% battery but also didn't boot. Had to play with disconnect then reconnect the battery THEN unplug cable. And it finally booted the first time.
Thank you guys!

I ended up blocking the bootloader accidentally giving my k20 pro when changing the rom, but when passing the rom by edl, the device does not turn on in any way, when passing the Chinese rom I have to block the bootloader?
Worth Checking out he thread, maybe older mi unlock can remove the bootloader flag for you ? cheers

Hi All,
I received an update notification yesterday on my China Market device with Global ROM and I immediately downloaded the update to MIUI13. I had 60% battery when the download finished and after downloading it did an app optimization. After that, I hit the reboot button with 58% battery. The device turned off and since then the device is literally not showing any sign of life. it doesn't charge or show up in the ADB devices list. My MBP doesn't recognize USB in the devices list. What is the best option I have? From threads, it doesn't sound like a brick or EDL mode to me but should I still contact the EDL guy?
Just an update. I was using Macbook to test if the device is alive. MacBook Pro doesn't show any updates when you connect a new device. I plugged USB into a Windows machine installed on my Bootcamp, Windows recognized the device as Qualcomm 9008. Which is effectively in EDL mode. I have no idea how the device got into that mode but my assumption is that I had TWRP installed with BL open and when going from Android 11 to Android 12 via MIUI13, something called anti-rollback protection which was implemented by Xiaomi put the phone into EDL mode. Luckily, I am in the UK and got in touch with Xiaomi after sales, they agreed to repair it because the issue was caused by a software update.
Lesson Learned: Never update your phone via OTA to a newer android version without taking a proper backup. A really bad experience with Xiaomi. it cost me one day to try to fix and will be costing me some time to install everything back after the repair. I am seriously thinking to buy an iPhone now.

Just an update. I was using Macbook to test if the device is alive. MacBook Pro doesn't show any updates when you connect a new device. I plugged USB into a Windows machine installed on my Bootcamp, Windows recognized the device as Qualcomm 9008. Which is effectively in EDL mode. I have no idea how the device got into that mode but my assumption is that I had TWRP installed with BL open and when going from Android 11 to Android 12 via MIUI13, something called anti-rollback protection which was implemented by Xiaomi put the phone into EDL mode.

I dont think its about anti-rollback function
That function only affect when u try to flash from higher miui version back to lower version. It will not allow u to do that
In your case, it 's all about xiaomi software problem :| and it is unacceptable problem

Well, finally I got in touch with the EDL guy and he fixed it smoothly. I literally had to go through a lot of documents and websites to understand the problem but he fixed it in 10 minutes. I think he is using some sort of cracked miFlashTool where he interferes with the communication between the phone and Xiaomi servers and bypasses authorization issues. I think many people are having problems at that point when following the EDL operation explained on the internet. Anyways, fixed it fairly easily and cheaply.

That's very strange. Why first update led to brick
By Global eu rom you mean EEA or Xiaomi.eu ROM?
p.s. I know at least one Mi 11 ultra and one Mi 11 faced the same issue

If you can get to fastboot, you can flash the original stock ROM. Plenty of instructions here and on the Xiaomi EU forums. You only need edl if you cannot get to fastboot.

You cannot flash anything in fastboot if bootloader is locked
In that case, you will need an edl flash to recover. But be careful that he doesn't leave it with an edl account permission or you won't be able to unlock without that edl account. Although I thought you could flash the original stock firmware that it came with back on with it locked.
Hi, i have same problem after try to flash Miui 13. But The MIflash tool shows error:sw path is not valid, have not found solution for this error message. How can I Get in contact with the EDl Guy.. I have a Mi 11 Pro
Reminds my about the new released Samsung galaxy S22 series, lots of problems for some weeks now_
It´s so frustrating that the update caused this. It´s now the first time for me to solve this problem. But I have so many other issues that I don´t have the time for this. I´ve read some threads where some persons have written about people who can unbrick it online. This would be right now my first choice. Could somebody help me where I can contact someone for help please.

im sending you link now who to contact and this is not spam
Hello same here - I guess flashed wrong version from EEA instead of EU of Android 11 - all went good but then I allowed OTA updates and finally update to MUI13 I had a brick.
Now I am in contact with one EDL guy but not certain he is legit. Can you send me PM for your contact?
I'm planning on purchasing this phone but things like this one makes me worried. Is there a risk to update the eu stable firmwares from fastboot with bootloader unlocked?
If you know how to do it, no risk.
