Hey, as the tittle says I´m stuck in the bootloader of my semi new HTC One. :C
Well the story is that I rooted my phone 2 months ago and installed a new ROM successfully which was great. Now this week I wanted to change back to the stock version and regain my insurance and back all the original futures of my beloved phone. I did a step here with I deeply regret, I formatted my sdcard. (Note this was my first doing any rooting or stuff of that sort). So as I wanted to get the stock ROM to my phone I locked up this video from youtube by Sakitech:- "How to Unroot your HTC One, and Relock the Bootloader". I follow his steps worked well but later I realised none of the RUU files worked with my phone.
So now I´m here with no ROM installed. Can´t get access to the recovery. My phone is relocked (the rooting). Can´t find any RUU file that works for my phone, so far (because I´m from Sweden and have the Nordic version). I´m stuck in the bootloader.
Here´s a picture of it for what it´s worth:
Not allowed to post a picture because of the new user policy >.>
Please help me! If you have a solution explain it with "baby-steps" because I´m not yet experienced with these sort of things. Thank you! <3
Picture?
Can someone post the picture for me if I give the link to that person??? :/ I can send it through email or skype

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..
We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.
I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.
Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..
So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.
So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update
Hi
i just recieved a brand new xiaomi mi5 yesterday and he is running on a FAKE rom 7.2.8.0.0 chinese stable. I just want to change this ****ty rom to the global stable rom but my phone is bootloader lock.
I try the updater but the phone show a running circle and then reboot to the wrong rom.
Then i try the mipc suite in English and Chinese but i have a read warning showing something like "unable to discover your device".
I make my demand to unlock my phone but i receive no confirmation message.
I'm tired to read all this topic with no real solution.
I read a tuto about fastboot recovery but i don't know if i can use it with my lock phone. I m not a geek and i don't want to break my new phone just to change a rom.
Somebody have an EASY way to do it?
Thanks in advance!
Thibault
Have you followed this manual on installing developer version?
http://en.miui.com/a-232.html
That should work.
You cannot flash from recovery if the phone is still locked.
About unlocking:
Did you request the unlock permission and got an SMS with code?
Or did you request the code, but never got the SMS with the code?
If you got the code, i assume that you did not receive an SMS with the text that you have permission to unlock?
Did you fill the form in with the SMS code that you got? Only the you get the SMS with permissions.
If you did not get any code in your SMS, then it might be a account problem (that was with me the case).
Make a new MIUI.com account.
Log this account in on you phone via developer options.
Then request again the code on the site. If that does not work, wait 24 hours and try again. Maybe you have to repeat this 2 or 3 days after each other. I had to try 2 times and the second time (after 24 hours) i got the SMS.

I try to install developer version but the phone shut down and then reboot on the previous version so the vendor hacky 7.2.8.0.0.
I submit for the unlock permission this morning and i recieved the first sms code so the verification one. So i was able to send my request but i haven't got any answer yet.
Do you know any way to bypass this bootable lock and install the global international rom?
Maybe i can install the global via EDL mode but i need help for the steps to follow.
Thanks
if you've got a spare cheap usb type c cable you can cut and solder it to make and EDL cable (look for guides online) to put locked phone in EDL mode then safely flash official miui with MiFlash and just then unlock it.

If you have submitted the code to the website to request permissions, then you will get the permissions within 24 hours in most cases ( i got it in 3 hours).
After that, you can unlock the normal way as described on the MIUI.com forum.
There was also a thread somewhere (miui.com i think) about a tool that should work, but after several people trying it was a hoax. You still had to unlock.
Also there is a way to change an USB cable, to put the phone in a special mode, but i did not have to use that.
ok thanks for your help... I waited for the unlock permission and then i use the fastboot method to flash the latest global rom.
If you are in the same situation and you don't recieve the permission i find a tuto who can help some of you, put i can't post the link so just google androidbrick mi5 and you will find the page.
For the people that have requested and successfully received their unlock code, would you mind sharing the reasons you submitted to xiaomi?
I just said it had vendor rom installed, for a different xiaomi phone, unlock came the next day, the hardest thing is getting your name to work first name only,
I received approval in three days
I told them that I was a Dev and wanted to be able to test my apps on the Mi Mix
Best
J
Said I had an brick... And need help
I was honest and said I wanted to install custom roms and I was fully aware of the risks involved.
Sent from my MIX using Tapatalk
I just said I wanted to install TWRP to do backups
I was also completely honest and said since I was from Scotland I wanted to be able to get rid of the Chinese crap and get a different ROM.
Got a text two days later and my request was accepted.
along these lines - do i need to be using the phone to get the unlock request?
i can't use this phone as my daily without root, so i have my sim in my old phone until i get unlock. any idea?

No, you don't. I'm not getting mine for at least another week but my unlock request was accepted last week. I've logged on to the unlock application to make sure it works and it works completely fine, now all I have to do is get the phone.
I just put 'I want to root the phone'.

Hope I can get away with 2 unlocking codes on 1 account in a week? got some fresh ideas anyway
I was very honest, just said I want to root to release full potential. Fingers crossed!!

Did u get it
I was granted the unlock privilege within a few minutes. It could mean that they don't screen the responses as clearly now or that I just managed to give a reason they agreed with. A fellow Lineage team member got his unlock similarly quick too.
I was the luckiest. My phone was bought brand new sealed, virgin, never been used. I was the first to break the seal.
Point is, when checking the menu, it appears my bootloader was already unlocked and ready to go!
All I had to do was install the drivers and software on my pc and simply flash TWRM recovery followed by any custom rom of my choice...
Was never any need for me to request any bootloader unlock.

That's because the seller opened the box to unlock it and flash the global rom most likely. Most of them do that if you read the seller's description in detail.

The phone was factory sealed in the box when it arrived, however, the ad clearly mentioned:
''Official Global ROM Support OTA Updates''
So it appears you were right. Clever how it was resealed in the box...
I just said that I want a Rom with Portuguese languaje for me the unlock process it takes no more than 30 minutes between to ask permisson into Xiaomi end their response.
Good Morning,
I wanted to warn you to be very careful with this store. They have sold me a phone apparently with Global ROM and first of all that the mobile has been removed the seal and the bootloader opened, the day after receiving it I started to update it since the Custom ROM was very bad and I tried to use the OEMIFA version ( What should be) for this mobile, apparently all good but trying to boot ... The mobile remained in boot loop, I contacted the seller and only knows how to give me excuses and long, he gave me the contact of an "engineer" and it that this sends me to a forum MIUI to solve the issue, the forum that sends me is another model and above with the obsolete info.
The problem is that the phone now has a closed bootloader and also does not allow flash any image even the official China, if you put it in EDL either because you need to have everything authorized and nothing ... the seller continues washing his hands, I have said that I want a change of equipment and that I would take it to China and do it there to avoid expenses and nothing at all, impossible to reach an agreement.
For all this I want to warn you of the way of working of this store, the terminal arrived in a few days, well packaged and others but the after-sales service is ominous, null.
This is the link of the product.

BEWARE, do not buy from this store because you can leave with a beautiful paperweight of 416 euros and above without any support / help to solve it.

OK, I said yesterday to seller on one of my messages of Aliexpress...That I will make it in a different forums, youtube, etc...
I cant waste my time, my money for more time.
If they not give to the users ALL the info about your products and the restrictions in the use, all of we can bricked our phones... And lose the time, the money
I think that they must change my phone for a new unit because they NEVER SAID ME nothing about they was unlock my bootloader before the shipment and the most important thing... That nobody user can lock the bootloader with a Global ROM because if you make it...you lose it!!
Just wrote this message to the goldway user "TheCityAndTheStars " in the other post :
The reason is.... ALL bricks can be solved if goldway gives you the actual binded MI account !!
I think that there is an easy solution for those people with bricked Mi8 with bootloader Relock
The may reason that people stay bricked is you send the phones unlocked with an MI account created by you, and IT´S BINDED to device, so .. if user want to use unlock tool... not possible cause user can´t bind their own account.
If you go to developer options, the bind option is greyed out
So, SOLUTIONS:
1 - Give the user instrucctions to unbind YOUR MI account.
I bet you must created an accound per device, cause an account can unlock a device for month.
This solution works only if not already bricked
2 - Give the user the id an pass from the actual binded account, so, the user can use official unlock tool to do the job .. unlock the same device with same account is possible and no wait time needed. (AFAIK)
With that solutions, no need to send device to china, user can unbrick the phone, you can aviod a lot of problems cause there a lot of cases of brick for relock (cause if the f...king default option in MiFlash).
