Hello guys, i'm new in the xiaomi world and i'm not very happy
Xiaomi MI8 6GB 128 GB CN
I bought this phone 2nd hand from a guy and everything were good, until i get a OTA update, i started to install the update but my battery was low and i run of juice
My update failed and goes in a bootloop
My phone has bootloader unlocked so i decided to download the MIUI official rom from here and i started flashing it with MIFLASH but i forgot to uncheck the "ERASE AND LOCK"
now i have a Bricked phone, locked because im stupid, and stupid 2 times because i flashed the GLOBAL rom instead of CHINA
What can i do now? throw it in the trash?
i have tried adb reboot edl and fastboot reboot-edl but doesn't work
pay someone with edl account to flash it remotely

Here is the other way.
neuTrue said:
Before paying anyone. Give this a try.
Search for a file called: "Miflash no auth", or "Miflash without auth", and even with these words: "patched", "mod", "cracked", etc...
Currently, if you searched for the first sentence in Youtube, you could easily find the file I mentioned (MiFlash 2018.5.28.0).
Personally, I haven't tried this solution but wouldn't hurt.
Good luck

You could download the Chinese ROM, carry it with you to any Xiaomi service center (with EDL) and then ask them to flash it for you.
Otherwise, you might want to make sorta of deal and bartering (Google Play gift card, Amazon gift card, etc...). Also, I think you only need CC to send with Paypal.
Don't forget to send Xiaomi customer support an email to tell them how you are unhappy with them and their unfriendly policies.
Good luck

I solved by paying a russian guy
He did the edl flash before i paid, he was very fast and friendly
But i opened up my phone and this thing not was very easy
Here in Italy i never see a xiaomi service center so i dont know...
And i already sent a mail to xiaomi service telling everything about my unhappy story with my 2nd xiaomi
1st was a disaster
2nd too...
Sorry for my bad English
And have a good day
@Kajikita:
It is nice to hear it worked out for you.
About service centers (https://www.mi.com/it/service/repair/) -> Click on "Canali di vendita/distribuzione" and it will give you a list. Personally not sure if they will be helpful. Eitherway, it is nice that you have fixed your phone now.
Have a great day as well. :highfive:

Use DC Unlocker. 4 Euro, and you will get your code in less than 5 minutes
BTW, imei changing is illegal. So nobody gonna help you on that here i guess. Not sure why you want to do it anyway

Which country? Try UK support. For example, Russian support is completely useless and just sends you steps how to do it on non-functional site.
UK support sent me the code on the next day (on may 12).

Make sure to provide a decent reason - I kinda lied about not using my new phone, but reality is i'd really sell it if I could not unlock it and get rid of ads.
I guess, simply saying you want adaway installed and that needs root shall be enough. Last part skips voids-warranty-are-you-sure? exchange.
A friend of mine called UK support on viber on may 10th, but ended up with same uk support mail exchage asking him for details, warning about risks and got his code a day later than me I believe.
He told them he wanted to flash clean firmware or something like that... be creative.
My ticket from https://consumer.huawei.com/uk/contact-us/ (I forced it to /uk/ from my real country)
May 11: ...
Content:I bought P20 pro few weeks ago and I desperately want to unlock my bootloader, but unlock link is 404/dead for ages now.One of the reasons for actually buying Huawei phone was the information that bootloader unlock is actually easy - I'm sick and tired of ads and I want root/adaway installed asap + I want google dialer.... It sucks to be walking around with my old Xiaomi mi6 and not a new shiny Huawei.Please let me know, how can I get an unlock code in any other way. Serial xxxxxxxxxx, product ID xxxxxx, IMEI xxxx/xxx. I know the risks etc and I'm sure I want to unlock my bootloader.

Dear Name,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Customer Care and the provided details.
We have now created a request for you in order to receive the bootloader code. As soon as we receive it, we will forward it to you.
Thank you for your patience and please let us know if you have any other questions.
May 12:
Dear Name,
Thank you for your patience.
I have received the necessary code you need to use in order to root your device.
The code is: my-code-here
As explained in our previous e-mails, please note that using the bootloader code and rooting the device will void the warranty.
I trust this information is of assistance. In a couple of hours, you might receive a survey regarding the experience you have had with Huawei Customer Care. We would appreciate your feedback. Should you have any further queries, please feel free to get back to us anytime.
I wish you a wonderful day!

Hey guys,
I am getting the message that 45 days are required to unlock my device.
Is there any way to get the unlock faster?
If someone would be willing to share their MI account for instant unlock, I would greatly appreciate it!
Nope there is no way. Just wait like us.
Try another version of mi unlock

Ups I didn't read that. Sry
So did creating a new Mi account and associating that with the device work (aka 'only' 360 hours) ? Otherwise I'd actually contact Xiaomi support if I were you; 45 days sounds kinda excessive ...

It didn't work. I tried a new account as well as a new SIM card.
Where do I contact xiaomi support?
I haven't tried contacting myself, but
1) Check out the 'support prequisites' at: https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/retrievePassport?type=pwd&_locale=en_US
2) Now try your most suitable (it's region-based) option on: https://www.mi.com/global/contact/
Searching through the Mi Forum and it's successor Mi Community, there is no specific solution mentioned, just 'wait it out'.
Which Mi 9 version do you have; the Chinese, Global or EEA (European) version ? Most topics about it seem to concern the Chinese version, that's why it might - or not - be relevant ...
I was able to get it unlocked with the help of an awesome XDA member!!!
Could you please send pm/write in thread who help you? I get the same problem. 42 days left ?

Jealous. Is there a work around or how was it done?
waiting period is for account, not for device. so what you need is an account already pass the waiting period.
The person who helped me just used their account to log into my phone and the MI unlock app to do the process. I am not sharing the name with anyone since I have not asked for the person's permission to do that.

This a bounty thread not a cry me a river thread. Please stay on topic.
As my phone is really bricked for 4 days now ...
Support doesn't want to fix it saying "they don't have the msm tool to flash the device currently".
So if you crack the passwd, which can unbrick my device internationnal. I give 20$
It is just untolerable that OnePlus support lies to users saying they don't have the tool.
By the way, no one have been rescue his bricked phone by support at now ... just check one plus forum.
That's a really joke. It's my first time with a One Pllus device and surely my last.
I have not take good the fact i cannot restore the flash firmware and furtheremore the OnePlus support is not repairing my device.
A+
Lol I haven't seen a bounty thread since the Droid bionic days. That bounty, if I remember correctly, grew to over $2k. Some Motorola security guy I think one day was like, whelp, here yes go! I still feel the guy just waited till it was $2k to release it lol.

Oh yeah.. The first thing i admit is i'm so stupid to have locked back oem.
I though that after locked to stock, i'm sure to have boot corrupt, but i though to reupload stock firmware.
And this was the big surprise, no tools exists...
Any other brand have it...
So this is just contradictory because with OnePlus you can install modded twrp and unlock your bootloader, that's the phylosiphy.
PS: And by the way, If OnePlus repaired my device remotly, i would be happy, but 4 days i'm now bricked

I really wish you'd done some reading before doing that.
There isn't a working MSM tool for the 10 pro.
There's a firehose hack but no one has ever done it.
Seeing as you've opened your device you've now lost warranty, so your only other option is to pay for the MSM tool.

Well there's another thread talking about opening up the device for this very reason, you may want to take a look at that, although the method seems extremely difficult for an average user.
On top of that there are online services that will let you use MSM for a fee.
If you do use these, use a keylogger and pinch their login details

No, police can't do anything unfortunately. This type of thing happens thousands of times every single day, all over the world. In the US at least, it's considered a civil matter - not criminal. They'll take down a report if you insist on filing one, but they can't - and won't - get involved

You are right. I hve not had to think about bypassing frp since my old Galaxy s8, the process is now a little vague.
After reasearching, It is much easier to do now.
You can absolutely bypass FRP. Using Wifi and Google Assistant, you can reset the phone via settings to bypass. Worked on my Google Locked Verizon Google Pixel 4a 5g.
