This process is to get unlocking code ....code is already on hand but can not input ..bec its been try how many times ...and lock up in pleased wait mode....
thanks for looking the problem
I think what parleyp is trying to say is that wherever you got (bought?) your unlock code from, you don't necessarily need it. If you follow the links in his post there is a free method to unlock without a code - this is also permanent unlike the some unlock codes which you buy.
If your phone still hangs then I'd suggest a hard reset and then try parleyps links to unlock, then WillardZ link to hardSPL your phone - after this you are safe to try any roms and use any carrier.

This is exactly what I am suggesting. Don't sweat it. Waiting for 7 days means it didn't work. Follow the steps above and do it for free and now. Just follow all the directions carefully.

Hello all,
I am sort of new to this, so please excuse me if this is an 'easy' question, but I am sort of freaked out.
I bought the Mi8 with the bootloader already unlocked and a chinese ROM.
Today I wanted to install the xiamo.eu Rom via twrp, however I faced some problems during this (did not boot properly into TWRP).
At one point I tried to use XiaoMiFlash to put a stable version of the ROM on it, however, apparently the standard setting in the program is to lock the phone again.
When I am booting normal now I only get into Mi-Recovery 3.0 since he apparently can not install this MIUI version on this device (that's the error message I am getting).
So I can not boot this ROM, but also have no open bootloader. I can go into Fastboot, but without unlocked bootloader it does not help me right?
Since the seller already unlocked the bootloader, I can not unlock it again as far as I understand. Is there any help for me or is my phone now just a brick?
Thanks for the help
"At one point I tried to use XiaoMiFlash to put a stable version of the ROM on it, however, apparently the standard setting in the program is to lock the phone again"

If u select Clean all & Lock,
U phone is Lock and u need go to contact Xiaomi CS to help u out..

I did not see that you have to select something, but I realized in hindsight that 'Clean all & Lock' was selected by default. Thus my bootloader is locked.
You think Xiaomi CS does help? I have read that they have to grant you authorization, but I am not sure if they actually do it.
The other method would be the Testpoint method, there are some services there to remotely do it..
Not sure what to do yet!
But thanks for help

That happened to me too, some months ago. Xiaomi CS will do noting at all. In my case I returned the phone back to the seller asking for the original global version I paid for, but it was a lengthy procedure. If I am not wrong a guy in 4PDA can unlock your phone. Just search the forum.

I bought my phone 3-4 months ago, don't think it will work anymore.
The 4PDA forum is fully in russian, so I don't think I will be able to locate him. If you have more info about it, let me know.
Update: Fixed with test point method and flashing CN rom (requires authenticated account for that - bought the russian service for that!). A pity Xiaomi does not give out authenticated accounts that easy (or allow easier unblocking of device).
Anyway, happy that it works now again, but unfortunately stuck with chinese rom (I think).
Hi guys, first at all sorry for my bad english.
This is the story i bought a redmi K 20 pro in chinese mi store, they flash the indian rom so im change to global rom and all works good.
But im retard so im relock the bootloader to let Googlepay work and this is how im brick my phone.
im already try some solution but im not find how to fix my phone, the phone can boot in recovery mode and fastboot mode.
If im try to install the china rom but Xiaomiflash show me error "erase boot error"
please some one help me

Put the device in fastboot and Use old MI Unlock tool and see if if it unlocks the bootloader. Post that you can flash the fastboot rom.

Read the above links again. Unfortunately they're all in English, so you may need to use Google translate to understand them fully.
You will need to open the phone to set it in EDL mode.
You will need to contact someone in Russia that has an authorised service account and pay him about €20
He will then need you to allow him to control your PC by remote desktop to flash your phone and unlock the bootloader.
All the information is in the above posts, including the contact details for the Russian guy. There have been a few people that have done this, so this works and the Russian guy is reliable.
There is no physical reason that this cannot be done by the Italian service centre. Maybe you could try to ask them again if they can take pity on you and help.

You're not supposed to relock the bootloader with anything other than the original software, even different regions of MIUI for example. Otherwise the device bricks itself.
UPDATE AS OF 16 OF MAY 2023
This project isn't working right now, but I am still working on it.
However due the complicated nature of the projects and the fact that I have little free time means this project will probably still take time to get to functional state.
If anyone has any idea please contact me, any hell is welcome!
______________________________________________________
Hi!
So I decided I wanted to flash custom software into my phone, but it's bootloader was locked so I figure a way to unlock it!
I am going to leave 2 methods:
1. It's the most risky but has more chance of working. The idea is to flash the whole firmware again to the phone, but from an unlocked model.
This is posible using the EDL mode and Sahara protocol.
The EDL mode is an emergency mode which allows user to flash firmware in case fastboot and ADB fails. It's also available in all Qualcomm devices.
It is also completly independent from the rest of the phone, and it's the first bootloader we have. If everything is ok it triggers the second bootloader(fastboot) which then boots the system(See the diagram if you want).
As we want to reflash the firmware keep in mind this could brick your phone and I won't take any resposability if it happen
Materials:
-QPST
-Qualcomm Driver
-Working USB Cable
-Fastboot and ADB set up and working
-knoledge on using ADB
Procedure:
1. Download and install Qualcomm drivers
2. Download and install QPST
4.Downlaod the MBN file
3. Reboot
4. Connect the phone to the PC, then open cmd and run "adb reboot edl".
If you are on fastboot mode, then try "fastboot oem edl", "fastboot reboot-edl", "fastboot reboot edl". One of this should work
5. Go to C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\
6.Open QPST Config(it's a blue phone, see picture)
7. Click on "Start clients" and then "Software download". A new window should open
8. Now we need to select the phone image using the browser button
9. Click on start to flash ⚡️
Please be aware the method wasn't tested, so this could brick your phone.
If you decide to try it, and have questions or ru into problems during the process, please let me know.
Also remember to take a backup of your data, as it is goig to be lost. ℹ
____________________________________________________________________________
As for the second method, I tried it and it didn't work for me, but is completly safe so you may want to give it a try.
1. Enrrol on the android 12 beta program, AND MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA
2. Install the update
3. Now exit from the beta program
4. Now you should have an update, it's a rollback to the stable version of android 12. After you installed the update the phone will restart and factory reset.
5. Do the setup as normal
In the end you may have unlocked the bootloader, to check just go to developer options and check if it is enabled or not.
Can we get a video of how to do this?

You may want to uninstall them and reinstall again to see if we solve the problem. Also try to run the app with admin privileges
Let me know how if you have more issues or if this doesn;t solve the problem at all.

MOD Edit: Same problem, can't solve it.
Looks like this is a common issue, I will look the documentation of QPST and see if I see the cause of the problem. Thank you guys for helping up this project
So I found that that version of QPST is outdated(it's the 2.7 build 140 and the latest version is 2.7 build 460). I am leaving a zip with it here.
Try and see if this time around we manage to unlock the bootloader
MOD EDIT:
This is the latest version
这是最新版本
#mcl, I have the same problem as you have, I live in Portugal and bought a used Pixel 4 but apparently it's origin is the US, Verizon. From your original post I take it that you didn't try this method yourself and hope others will try? Or were you successful?
for anyone in the same situation, read this thread: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...ed-against-physical-tampering-in-google-pixel
My guess is: if your pixel's " OEM unlocking " is greyed out it will not be possible to unlock. Although I didn't try the EDL route I'm quit sure that at some point you will get a message "bootloader is locked"

Hey I am quite busy recently so I haven't really had time to look more on the thread, though I believe there will always be a way, it may be hard to find but no OS is perfect, and Android is no exception. As it turns out, even if this method worked, when it connect to the internet there will be a high chance that using the IMEI of the phone it will "remember" it's a locked model and won't allow you to flash new firmware.
However I am working on a new method, which is also safer, though I have still work to do, so when It is ready I am going to publish another guide.
Good luck all untill them
Hi mcl, my problem is: I do like to change OS and I did so on my previous HTC M7 and M10. And these 2 phones still function with PixelExperience 10 or 11.
But at best I'm a simple layman with a lot of enthusiasm.
Anyway, I will keep an eye on this thread and hopefully you will find time to make this new method work!
By the way, I see that we are "neighbors", I live in Portugal.

Well I do want to become a software engineer though right now I am just a busy enthusiastic.

We are not doing physical atack, so that is not a problem for us.
Also, I don't believe the pixel 4 XL is perfect, for sure there are errors and security vulnerabilities. We just need to find them.

I want to just know, which is the tested method to flash European ROM to Chinese phone?
I also dont have a proper link for european rom ( I have seen some people flashing Indian rom and what is difference between indian and european?)
So lads please help me, I dont want to brick my phone, because there are no OP support team near my country. So it would be a garbage.
By personal experience, don't do that.
My phone is just bricked from just trying to flash the same rom again.
I've always did on my htc, xiaomi, samsung and many others and OnePLus 10 pro was the first one to give me problem. If you get in a state that you need to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical and for some reason your device reset then it's dead with no chance to recover.
There is no tool available to us that can recover from that. The phone don't turn on screen, it's not recognized by the computer and even on the charger it just don't turn on. So completely dead.
The best way is to just buy the model NE2213, that comes with a global rom.

Get Fastboot Enhanced & files needed to access adb/fastboot from computer. Unlock Bootloader. Download the OOS ROM you want then extract the file you need for Fastboot Enhanced. Make sure no cow files exist on device with Fastboot Enhanced and then if all checks out you flash.
I've kept this very vague because like you've mentioned there are a few different tutorials explaining (including mine here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lobal-rom-region-change.4462591/post-87151395) but the basic steps I quickly explained should exist in them all. You'll just need to find one you can follow that makes the most sense to you!
I personally used NE2213 on my device that I converted from NE2210 and am using that device to reply to this thread. I am in Canada and this is Chinese Model OP10 Pro and all works fine on my end. Hopefully you can accomplish the same for yourself if this is your intention.

If you can make sense of all the steps then go for it lol. My tutorial is more of a gathering of others work put together in a way that I hoped others could follow. I didn't want to re re re make another tutorial from scratch as your already seeing how confusing and inconsistent having so many guides can be!
I typically use Oxygen Updater on the PlayStore. Then in settings I'll do this (check photo). Then go back to the first page of application and you should see a download option (also check photo). Once you've downloaded the file just transfer it to the computer and you should be good to go. This is usually how I get the files...
Thanks so much, You made a great job lad.
Will try when I get a phone and I will let you know how it goes.

Just remember to keep reading over everything while you wait for your phone. Make sure to check everything over and over and just read all the threads here on XDA to get an understanding for what everyone else has done (the good and the bad) to ensure you yourself don't make any mistakes when the time comes.
I have the Chinese Model also and don't even understand one word let alone writing in the language but this is the phone I got and I gotta make it work so I can relate to your situation with buying it already and it being too late to change your mind lol.
my mind is blowing, everyday reading so much failures and bricked phones thats not good for mental health.
planned to go with your guide step by step and pray same time, maybe that helps lol
