Did you unlock the bootloader critical? If not, that's the problem
If you have unlocked bootloader and critical partition flashing, and still have problems to enter EDL mode, try on another PC and USB 2.0 port.
I did it, thanks all for help. I haven unlocked bootloader critical, and that was solution. Thanks one more time! Cheers!
I also want to use MIUI10. can u give me the link where process is written?
Hello Community,
i have a Problem after the installation of the newest android Update (OTA).
The A2 just Boot till the white AndroidOne Logo and it hangs there after a time it seems it shut down itself.
My Device:
-USB Debugging is disabled, its a new testing device.
-I cant boot in recovery mode (vol-UP+Power) just boots to the white androidOne Screen and there it hangs
- I can enter fastboot(VOL-Down+power) mode and the device is listed when i type fastboot devices in my terminal on pc
- when i fire up MiFlash tool it list my device after clicking refresh, if i want flash the latest FW (http://en.miui.com/download-353.html) i get the error:
error:"Flash bluetooth_a error"
- My bootloader is locked.
Question:
How can I flash a offical Android with a locked bootloader?
is it a good idea? or better send it back for a warranty solution (i dont want wait)
is there another way to solve my problem? i really dont know whats the problem is. i did not rooted the device or anything.
would be lovely if someone could help me. with an instruction what i can try.
Thank you very much and have a nice day
Regards
If you have enabled 'OEM Unlock' setting in Developer settings, you will probably be good, you can unlock bootloader(oem/flashing/critical) and flash the official ROM ( as per now, 10.0.2.0 )
If not, you have 2 options
-Boot into EDL using short points and flash from there
-Warranty
Same thing happened to a friend's phone, it wasn't touched and just went brick after 10.0.2.0 OTA.
Guess everyone should enable 'OEM Unlock' in case this happens(Data Encrypted anyway, worst case stolen phone better than the chance of brick every time an OTA comes)
edit: If you want to save your data, you obviously shouldn't try the bootloader unlock way...EDL flashing allows flashing without wiping data, but haven't tested that personally
wow really? that are bad news...
thank you anyway :crying:
maybe someone other got a idea?
regards
Lot of users faced this after today's update including myself. Since my bootloader is locked, only option left is EDL flashing by connecting motherboard test points.
Just an advice for everyone reading this message from a Xiaomi Android One device: ALWAYS KEEP UR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, IT DOESNT MATTER IF USB DEBUG ISNT ACTIVE, JUST UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
sorry for caps, is just an important thing, i also had the issue but with unlocked bootloader i solved it easily
Just flash using fastboot

that seems not possible with a locked Bootloader (very new phone)
or can you provide a working solution with a locked bootloader? i wont use this EDL thing because its just new and i dont want open it.
Thank you all anyways
Try with this tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/development/tool-mi-a2-xtrem-toolkit-t3879660
(edl included)
Same trouble here, we are fu...ed!
With Xiaomi mi flash tool, you can re active bootloader protection !
Simple flash with this tool with the option "clean and lock critical"
Works for me !

I'm in your same situation
Exactly the same situation here... Waiting for a solution without losing warranty.
I think if your bootloader is not unlocked, the only possible solution left is to shorting the test points on motherboard. Those who have warranty can return the unit for claim. Yet another mess up from Xiaomi and this will be my last phone from them.

I can understand that. I will claim warranty because its new and i dont want do that test point thing.
on private i would buy and recommend xiaomi anyways but if you want these hardware for some enterprise things then better not.
Iam out of this Thread now but if you want talk here some more feel free.. maybe somebody can bring a solution for all you guys who face this problem but i think its not possible without a open BL or the TestPoint Method.
Regards and have a nice day
Hi. I'm with locked bootloader. I received new January update. No change - stock variant updated to Pie. So it's safe to update or waiting for new one? Mi A2 4/64 micron ram
hi everyone, i want bypass the miui unlock tool, anyone use this command to unlock your phone? thx
no, of course not..
mi unlock tool can't be bypassed (and you definitely won't get an answer on that here)

i found some one can unlock with new command on mi A2
"fastboot flashing unlock"
"fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
so, is this same as "oem unlock"?

Hmm to be honest I don't know for sure, but I believe that the Mi 9 and the Mi A2 are different (technically, I'm not sure exactly) as based off the below link it states how Mi Unlock doesn't work in the same way it does for ours
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-xiaomi-mi-a2/
As mentioned someone stated that the Mi 9 just reboots when attempting fastboot unlocking. Though if you're waiting to unlock, there's no harm in trying to be 100% sure

Haha despite me having the Mi 9 I mayyyy get tempted by the OnePlus 7 (or the "pro" version as it's rumoured!).
Coming from the Pixel 2 XL running LineageOS, MIUI isn't so bad once rooted and debloated. Battery and performance is great so can't complain really!
Few days ago I bought Redmi K20 Pro from China. There was by default Chinese Stable ROM on my device. So I wanted to flash Global Stable ROM & replace Chinese Stable ROM. I got the permission to unlock my bootloader through mi flash unlock tool.
So I unlocked the bootloader on PC. Then I tried to flash Global Stable Fastboot ROM using mi flash tool. While I was flashing, mistakenly I chose "clean all & locked" on mi flash tool.
After flashing, my phone got stuck on recovery mode & it shows "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". While I am trying to unlock my bootloader again using mi flash unlock tool then it says: You should wait 30 days to unlock another device.
Anyone can give me a proper solution how to get rid of it? I am stuck with it since yesterday.
Your help will be very much appreciated.

1. Thread is in the wrong section
2. You can only unlock one device per month.
3. You are lucky if you didn't brick your device.:laugh:

Try after 7 days from today or at max you'll have to wait for 30 days before you can unlock. Use an another phone for the time being.

The limit is unlocking once per calender month.
On the 1st of the month the time will therefore reset to the normal 7 days, so you'll save a week at least. Still not good, but better than nothing.
If you cannot wait, you could open up the phone and put the phone into EDL mode and unlock and flash it. Look here for info about this option

As for needing an authorised account, people have reported success using s-unlock details of which can be found here.

Problem is fixed!
Thanks to all of you guys. I was able to flash the Chinese stable ROM through test point/edl method with the help of a technician. Its BL is still locked & I am running the latest Chinese Stable ROM.

Did the technician open the back panel to perform the EDL or just straight away flash?

He opened the back panel.
Only China official rom can relock
Other version such as EU/INDIA/GLOBAL,after unlock BL you can't relock again, I have see this information in other post.

I think this is the best way to solve your problem,but still have to wait for applying BL unlock,after that you can start the second flashing.
Hey man I have the same problem. Except I cannot wait to unlock the bootloader because there is no account associated with my phone right now.
So I wanted to ask you to point me in the right direction. I can do the testpoint connection myself in order to go to edl mode.
What I want to know is if I can flash using just MiFlash tool or I need some other mi account or software?
Thank you!
Hello. I flashed Global ROM over European ROM. my phone bricked, system and recovery is destroyed, I have only access to fastboot. I tried to unlock it and mi unlocker tool says I need to wait about 120 hours. My question is, will it unlock after that period time even when the phone is not in use and turned off? Because I don't want to open the back and pay for EDL flashing. Thanks.

As far as I know it should unlock OK. I personally haven't done this, but there are accounts on these forums of others who successfully unlocked the phone after the wait period in the same circumstances as you. If you were going to have problems you wouldn't have got as far as getting the wait period.

Your bootloader locked itself when flashing? Or you ticked to lock bootloader?

I flashed it via XiaoMiTool v2. It was OTA Package. And now when I successfully booted into Global ROM, I can't flash back EU ROM like Global before. I had all the time locked bootloader.
