Flash global rom to china develop?

There's no way to flash the china dev rom instead of the global rom if you have the bootloader locked?
Tried in MIflash, but it displayed error, phone is locked.

Worked, but waiting to unlock the bootloader for flashing the xiaomi eu rom. There's no other method to unlock the phone instead of waiting for an sms from xiaomi?

you can flash the xiaomi.eu rom even with a locked bootloader. you just cannot root it

Phone will not allow you flash unofficial img when bootloader is locked. I dont think it will let you lock after flashing rom with unlocked bootloader. At least i cant manage to lock bootloader after debloating miui stable.

With locked bootloader only official update can be installed through the updater app and that to stable ROM.
You can relock bootloader again regardless if you use official MIUI beta or stable ROM.
You'll have to unlock bootloader in order to flash any other ROM let it be any ROM.

Bootloader unlock global rom

I know this may be a stupid question but I'm looking to unlock the bootloader of my mi 8 global variant because I want to try a few different custom ROMs but I don't know if I will be able to relock the bootloader if I want to go back to the original Xiaomi firmware?
Any help will be appreciated

I heard flash back will brick the phone

Unlock china version and re-lock with global/xiaomi.eu/custom bricks the phone.

Yeah you should be fine to relock if it's a global device.
But I think you'll also have to wait another 360h or more to unlock it again

Global Version can relock!
Global Rom bricked the Device if you Relock it!
Must i wait if i would lock a relocked Global Version? Or can I use the Mi Account instead?

replace russian rom official with global rom official

i bought a mi 9 lite and it came with the russian rom.
I wanted to unlock the bootloader and install the official globlal ROM with mi flash. can i lock the bootloader again with me flash when i install an official global rom?
or
is there a guide to install a global rom without unlocking the bootloader? and without using tools?

You need to first unlock your bootloader in order to fastboot flash the global rom (using MiFlash). After that in the MiFlash tool there is an option to "Flash all and lock" which will lock your bootloader again. Unfortunately there is not a way of doing it to my knowledge without unlocking your bootloader.
Here's the official guide here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2

Never, ever re-lock your bootloader as this will result in a hard brick that can only be resolved with EDL/authorized account!

Not to my knowledge. I have done it before with my device. Sure if you want to use custom roms/recoveries you will need to unlock your bootloader again which you can do if you are using an authorised account. However, if you are really worried about this happening, you might as well just keep your bootloader unlocked.

I bought a mi cc9 lite that came with a russian rom.
Before i could unlock my device, i was able to flash a global rom with a non official tool which name i can't remember.
Global rom was the only one i was able to flash. So yes it's possible.

ok

On which ROM and Device you CAN and CAN'T Lock Bootloader!

I think you're right

Question From branded to unbranded official ROM

Hello,
I am new to Xiami and want to flash the GLOBAL EU ROM to get rid of my french SFR ROM (also GLOBAL) that is outdated. I have read a lot of posts but I am not 100% sure that I can do that (only 95%!). As far as I understand:
- I have to unlock the bootloader,
- Then flash the EU ROM with Mi flash tool,
- Then re-lock the bootloader: this is where I am not sure. Some posts say that I can re-lock it because both ROMs are official and 'GLOBAL"; other posts say that ROMs need to have exactly the same reference to avoid bricking the phone.
To my mind, I feel logical to be able to re-lock the bootlader as soon as both ROMs are official and "GLOBAL". Could you please help me, confirming or not that I can re-lock the bootloader?
Cheers.

good and you can relock your bootloader with mi flash. i do it with a orange rom

Never relock bootloader when you're on any ROM that the device didn't ship with. It will hard brick your device.

OK: if it worked with Orange, it should work with SFR !
How did you re-lock bootloader: with Mi-Flash option "clean and lock" or with fastboot command? If so, which one?
Cheers

I had a UK MI11 with the Vodafone branded firmware, and I flashed the global unbranded version and locked the bootloader afterwards with no problems at all, I just relocked the bootloader with a fastboot command and the phone was fine ?

False ! the same region can relock the bootloader. If your rom is EUOR, EUVF and flash a EUXM, you can relock it
