It's impossible to have MIUI 9/10 installed and have the bootloader locked at the time because it will brick definitely your phone and it's impossible to unlock after lock the bootloader on MIUI 9/10

Ah K...This sucks but oh well

MIUI Beta Installation without loosing data

Hi,
is it possible to install the latest beta without wiping the phone and without unlocking the bootloader?
And as I think I need to unlock the Boatloader, what are the disadvantages of having an unlocked bootloader with MIUI?
And for unlocking the bootloader my phone will be wiped, correct?
Thanks for any answer.

If you're on EEA MIUI then you can't install beta without BL unlock.
If you're on global MIUI then you can.
You need to wipe for any of the changes as far as I know.

Thanks for the answer. Is Google Pay working after unlocking the bootloader? What are the disadvantages of unlocking an bootloader? And everyone says I have to wait 15 days for unlocking it, do I have to switch the unlock bootloader settings in dev settings and then connect to the mi tool via pc and then there will be a popup saying I have to wait 15 days?
Is Beta a better option than Stable?

Yes. You will have all global updates over OTA.
Don't know why to lock bootloader, it's gives you a lot more freedom.
btw you will have to wait a week to unlock it, after sending request for permission.

Try to read this :https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/help/eea-stable-global-stable-t3916135 , the only thing I know is that EEA is made because of some Euroupe laws.

That's a relief.
If i may, a related question:
When unlocking the bootloader with the unlock tool, will the phone be factory reset? Apps and settings gone?
I ask because I don't want to waste a whole week setting my new phone up just for it to be erased when the unlock is finally available next Wednesday.

Yes, everything gets wiped. However, you need to be using the phone in order to unlock it after the 7 day period. If not you'll get an error saying you need to use the phone more, and then you'll have to wait longer.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. That's annoying but I guess I can use the phone for certain basic things while I wait.

Is there a way to unlock bootloader from SP Flash Tool?

My phone was hardbricked and thinking I had a global device I flashed a global ROM to it, but now it can't boot saying "This Miui version can't be installed on this device". I read that this error comes up from having a locked bootloader.. So is there a way to unlock it from Sp Flash or something similar (would prefer if it weren't fastboot).

While it could come from a locked bootloader, you would know if your bootloader had relocked from the tool and account you originally used to unlock it.
This Miui version can't be installed on this device

could be caused through by several things including, perhaps, non-allowed downgrade of MIUI

Yes, but if you are rooted, it is not recommended because of potential bricks etc.

It's the opposite of unlocking. Re-locking, in other words go back to a locked bootloader.
