Mi5 locked and impossible to unlock

Hello,
I bought Mi5 - 3/64GB phone from Aliexpress. When I got it, I didn't tried to connect it to internet or insert SIM card. I just took Mi Pc suite, and updated it to MIUI 8 version. After that everythink looked OK. Then I inserted SIM card with data enabled, my phone suddenly connected to internet and blocked up. Now I only see the picture I attached.
This is not my Mi account, I can't use phone at all. Can't access menu, turn on developer options or even use updater.
Phone is locked.
Recovery (Sound up+power) doesn't enter anywhere, only black screen with phone.
Bootloader works ok.
When pluged to pc, can't send any files to phone through USB cable.
I tried unbick methods (can't post link as a new member), with all ROM versions. It only updates to Xiaomi Mi5 Global stable. Other versions doesn't update, only gives me some kind of chinese error.
Maby someone had this issue ?

It looks like you got a Mi5 with a unofficial Rom and lots of bloatware.
With the guide in miui forum i tried to load a official rom, but it didn't work.
Instead my Mi5 is bricked now. Unable to get in the recovery mode, only into fastboot. I even got the unlock code
easily but couldn't my PC won't connect to the Mi5.

use this method to flash MIUI 8 Global version
skip the miflash tool,... extract everything using 7zip,... move files to root directory example C:\miui8
connect phone into fastboot mode and run flash_all.bat
First boot takes a lot of time...

This method doesn't work. When I press flash_all.bat CMD window appears for half a second and then disappears with no reaction. (Tried run as administrator also)

try using MIFlash tool, if that fails then you can either give it service center or unlock your device

I already tried flash with MiFlash tool. In my country there is no service center. Maby there is another way without service center, something like teardown method for bricked devices... Anything would help

Question Global/ EEA ROM on Chinese version

Well I unlocked my bootloader of my mi 11 ultra Chinese version to try other ROMs other than the stock Chinese ROM. I tried to flash the EEA ROM via fast boot but got two errors. The first one was too many links . The second one mentioned something like versions mismatch between the firmware and the phone. Does this mean that I can not install any stock ROM other than the Chinese version? If I can, then how? or how to fix this error(s)?
I'm currently on the xiaomi.eu latest weekly build . Its good overall but what I do not like is the battery life specially in idle times and most of the themes contain Chinese characters. Will installing either EEA or Global firmwares help in these issues?
Thanks in advance

Did you use this tool?
If not download the rom here.
If yes try to change usb cable and use usb 2 port and check drivers.
Dont relock the bootloader.

And don't go backwards in versions without tweaking the fastboot script.

Thats not true, you can go backwards.. you need to edit the flash_all.bat file and remove these Files:
fastboot %* getvar product 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"^product: *star" /c:"^product: *mars" || echo Missmatching image and device
fastboot %* getvar product 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"^product: *star" /c:"^product: *mars" || exit /B 1
::check anti_version
if exist %~dp0images\anti_version.txt (for /f "delims==" %%a in (%~dp0images\anti_version.txt) do (set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=%%a))
if [%CURRENT_ANTI_VER%] EQU [] set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=0
for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%i in ('fastboot %* getvar anti 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%%i)
if [%version%] EQU [] set version=0
set anticheck="antirollback check pass"
if %version% GTR %CURRENT_ANTI_VER% set anticheck="Current device antirollback version is greater than this pakcage"
echo %anticheck% | findstr /r /c:"pass" || @ECHO "Antirollback check error" && exit /B 1
fastboot %* getvar crc 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"^crc: 1" && if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
fastboot %* flash sparsecrclist %~dp0images\sparsecrclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash sparsecrclist error" && exit /B 1
)
you can type in cmd:
fastboot getvar anti.
That needs to be the same as anti_version.txt in Folder Images
you need to check the Anti File in Images.
And if you edit with getvar and setvar then you can downgrade for sure. or simple edit as shown above

This is what he says"without tweaking the fastboot script"
If the version of Ar is equal or higher this is not necessary.

yeah youre right my fault...

What will happen if you do?
I flashed mine from Xiaomi eu 12.5.7.0 to EEA 12.5.3.0 without editing the script and phone rebooted just fine into new rom even giving me an error at the end (because didn't fix the miflashtool)

If you do not relock the bootloader, there is an error at the end of the flash (without consequence).

Both those errors are easily fixed. If you download Notepad++, you can edit the <Flash all.bat> script. In the script, lines four through eleven, I believe, there is an anti roll back portion of the script. Just delete that entry. The other error is happening in the MiFlash tool. Open the app and go to the upper left hand corner and open the configuration tab. The dropdown will say MIUI configuration. Click on that and scroll down to Checkpoint and delete the entry that is there. With those items deleted, you should be able to flash from CN to EEA or Global without any problem. Just remeber to select the correct radio button in the lower right hand corner. because if you relock your bootloader, you will be unable to flash a rom until you unlock it again.

Hello,
Im trying to use your guide but I keep getting the antirollback error. I''ve put all the folders innto C: and it keeps coming up. Is it something on my end im not doing correctly? Should all the files be in one specific folder re MIUI Rollback or does that not matter?
Thank you

Whats your problem? Maybe someone could help. Why dont you want to install the latest MIUI provided by Xiaomi? If you want to use the latest MIUI rom you could use https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ this tool.
Always helped me without problems. Or do you need a specific solution?

I know I'm a little late for the party, but here's for future refference;
you can right-click the flash_all.bat file and remove the following lines:
Code:
if exist %~dp0images\anti_version.txt (for /f "delims==" %%a in (%~dp0images\anti_version.txt) do (set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=%%a))
if [%CURRENT_ANTI_VER%] EQU [] set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=0
for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%i in ('fastboot %* getvar anti 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%%i)
if [%version%] EQU [] set version=0
set anticheck="antirollback check pass"
if %version% GTR %CURRENT_ANTI_VER% set anticheck="Current device antirollback version is greater than this pakcage"
echo %anticheck% | findstr /r /c:"pass" || @echo "Antirollback check error" && exit /B 1
fastboot %* getvar product 2>&1 | findstr /r /c:"^product: *agate" /c:"^product: *amber"|| @echo "Missmatching image and device" && exit /B 1
@echo "Now Check Finished ......"
save file and flash!

I downloaded the fastboot ROM here https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/redmi-note-10-pro-sweet-stable-V13.0.13.0.SKFEUXM/
and the Miflash here https://xiaomirom.com/en/download-xiaomi-flash-tool-miflash/
Then edited the "flash_all_lock" bat file like above. I put the ROM folder in "C" drive to avoid getting the "can't find folder" error I was getting.

Question Want to downgrade from Miui 14 to Miui 12.5 (or whatever version gaming is best on)

Hello everyone ,
I opened this thread because of the regrets after updating to Miui 14 (same as updating to Miui 13) ,
And i want to downgrade my Miui version.
I have few experiences before with roms etc...
But i want you to explain it to me STEP BY STEP like i am a beginner. (Bcs phones are so expensive here so i don't want to make any mistake )
Details:
Phone: Redmi Note 10S
Fastboot state: Unlocked
PC: Windows 10
Objection: Downgrading Miui SAFELY from Miui 14 to Miui 12.5
Drivers: PC has MTK, ADB and some unnecessary drivers...
(I know that my all data will be gone, so no worries)
(I just want gaming to be good since i play games like Genshin Impact etc... But i don't want to switch to another rom since i need custom recovery etc... )
Hope y'all have a nice day
Thanks to those helping me

you can downgrade using the stock firmware just need to mod the .bat file to bypass the rollback protection:
This is the line to remove in orden to downgrade:
if exist %~dp0images\anti_version.txt (for /f "delims==" %%a in (%~dp0images\anti_version.txt) do (set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=%%a))
if [%CURRENT_ANTI_VER%] EQU [] set CURRENT_ANTI_VER=0
for /f "tokens=2 delims=: " %%i in ('fastboot %* getvar anti 2^>^&1 ^| findstr /r /c:"anti:"') do (set version=%%i)
if [%version%] EQU [] set version=0
set anticheck="antirollback check pass"
if %version% GTR %CURRENT_ANTI_VER% set anticheck="Current device antirollback version is greater than this pakcage"
echo %anticheck% | findstr /r /c:"pass" || @ECHO "Antirollback check error" && exit /B 1
after remove that in bat file. just doble click on it and put your device in fastboot mode the plug in to pc and wait

Just flash the miui 12.5 firmware using the mi flash as the anti version is same in both roms. No need to follow @tutibreaker 's method
