Hi Guys, I hope someone of you could help me out.
Recently a Chinese friend of mine gave me an MI 9 as a present. But unfortunately they ROM of the new phone was the CN version.
I found a way to change the ROM by doing the unlock bootloader and flashing TRWP, after that, I downloaded the MI9_Global_V9.5.30_vendor_fw_flash, went back to the Recovery and wiped the "Delvik, cache, SYSTEM and Data. When I was trying to install the rom I got an error telling me the Global rom file was corrupt and restarted the cellphone.
The problem is I am stuck in the Fastboot loop, can't access the recovery and my computer don't recognize the cellphone.
I know I ****ed it up, I was wondering if I can revert that or did I just lost a phone.
Thank you Guys.

Hi,
How did you unlock your bootloader?
It asks for binding Mi account and it's not possible when your phone is bricked.
Yeah, the rule is simple. If it boots into fastboot, it can be recovered. Just flash the global you want with the MI flash tool and the fastboot file.

You use Mi flash 2018.5.28
and Flash rom dev Global 9.6.27
or rom Stable Global
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80319431&postcount=3
Guys I am too stupid for this,
I flashed the fastboot global rom in my phone with MI flash but locked it in the end (can't believe I am that retard), now I believed I have bricked it for good.
Now I can't flash the correct fastboot ROM with miflash because I have locked the bootloader while trying to flash the Global ROM. I am at the fastboot loop again.
Can I do something now or I just have a expensive paper holder?
Thank you guys.

flash another official firmware on a locked bootloader BY XIAOMI TOOL V2 https://www.xiaomitool.com/v2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMkDAxiDdKs&t=10s
Here’s something VERY important before you flash or update the ROM.
1. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Chinese market are not able to run MIUI Global ROM.
2. Xiaomi Phones manufactured for Global markets are not able to run MIUI China ROM.
We highly recommend you to buy Xiaomi Phones via official or authorized sales channels and double check the system information before flashing or updating.

Hi guy,
Same thing happened to me, I felt very stupid, but it was on a MI 8 SE.
According to my experience, only there's a way to solve it and it's booting on EDL mode.
You'll need an authorized Mi account to flash the original ROM.
There's a complete guide on c . mi . com named [Guide] [All in One] MIUI Flashing Guide: Unbrick, EDL Method / Locked Bootloader, Unlock Bootloader, More, I can't post the url because I'm a new user

How were you able to get the authorized MI account? In the tutorial you mentioned, they didn't say anything about MI Account.
I'll try MItool first and let you guys know.

I can't use MITOOL because the USB DEBUGGING isn't enabled, is there a way to do it in the fastboot loop?
Thank you
It should recongnize with no problems.. Just check if you have the ADB drivers and try unlocking the bootloader and then flashing the Rom with the miflash tool. Still, if you have access to fastboot, things should be fine! Don't panic hahha

Read carefully and report
1. Try to hold down the buttons vol down and power, see if : fastboot devices sees it. If so XiaoMi Tool will restore it. If not do the same try recovery vol up + power. Do adb devices and see if anything shows up. Worst case you'll have to open the phone up and connect the EDL pins together and it will flash anything. I use minimal ADB and Fastboot phone plugged via USB cable into the computer and run those commands.
2. Fully bricks their device here is the unbrick factory method
https://c.mi.com/thread-1479882-1-0.html
that's connecting EDL pins with the phone case removed for a phone that doesn't boot at all

But it will work, that's what the factory does. Obviously the last resort.

Hey guys, I’ve purchased a k20 pro 6/128 variant here in Trinidad and Tobago from Let’s Talk phone company which imports phones and sell it here in Trinidad and Tobago. No one else sells the device here in my country.
When I opened my phone and started using it, I saw that it was the fake global rom which was installed on it. So I came onto here to try to flash the china firmware on it, which I did. After flashing the firmware on it, i installed twrp and wiped everything, data + cache + Dalvik Cache + System, then I flashed the EU firmware on it. After successfully flashing it I flashed magisk and some modules on it, and the phone worked GREAT! Then one day while using it the phone just shut down just like that and never booted back up. It stayed on the boot screen and did nothing!
So I tried reflashing the Chinese firmware with miflash, but this time I Accidentally RELOCKED bootloader, but when I first purchased the phone, the bootloader was already UNLOCKED. Miflash successfully flashed the chinese firmware v10.3.8.0 and the phone booted. I was RELIEVED! But after using it for a while, the phone started freezing! And their was a problem with the front camera! Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".
And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".
So I went and request to unlock the bootloader and waited 168 hours, and in that 168 hours I left the phone untouched because it kept crashing and never boot back up unless if I go into recovery and wipe data. So I left the phone untouched for a whole week! Yesterday the waiting period came to an end and FINALLY I unlocked the bootloader! When I opened back up miflash I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN!!!! :’( Now Mi unlock is saying that I need to wait 30 DAYS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER BEFORE I CAN TRY TO FIX MY PHONE AGAIN! Please help me. Is there any way to flash the firmware on a locked bootloader? i dont care which firmware it is, once my phone is working again.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
Only solution is to enter to edl mode by test point but its too risky or to get a mi account with edl authorization, wait till the end of 30 days and dont make the same error for 3 time.

I forgot to mention, after using miflash the last time, i flashed the indian global firmware on it using Miflash. The phone wont boot up past the recovery mode. It says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" in red. Tried wiping data but same results.

1.Go to fastboot. try flash latest chineese fastbootrom.
doesnt work?
Then you only have choice for EDL mode flash.
But edl mode requires authentification anyway which in most case you do not own..
we need something solid edl flash method.. this is common&biggest xiaomi problem

Here are the list of things i've tried thus far:
1- Tried flashing china fastboot rom 10.3.8.0 with Miflash. No luck.
2- Tried unlocking bootloader with Mi unlock. Have to wait the 30 day period.
3- Tried unlocking bootloader with fastboot commands. Didn't work.
4- Tried flashing LR twrp and unofficial twrp, No luck as well.
I've sent an Email to [email protected] couple hours ago. Waiting to hear from them.
As for edl mode, i've no idea what it is or how to even start. If someone can guide me as to what to do, i'll try it. Appreciate all the feedback and help from y'all

Now there is only one method for you, open the back cover of the fone, do test point method, flash china fastboot firmware and unlock again.

EDL mode will not work untill you have a EDL Authorized account
I had already tried and it was a bad idea to open the back cover just stick with unlocking bootloader
EDL test point will not work because xaiomi made because no body should buy Chinese Varient phone and flash global rom ,and I don't understand exactly why xaiomi did this with EDL and bootloader
Opened up the back of my phone, found the edl mode test point, miflash recognizes the device and begins flashing then i get this error "cannot receive hello packet"

or you can try chinese mi pc suite,with english translator but you have to flash chinese recovery rom,
but im not sure it will work ,in my case it didnt work because it had base rom of indian varient
actually chinese and indian k20 pro are not the same
for example indian k20 pro dont have NFC
but chinese varient have nfc

Did you complete the flash ？and start the phone into miui? If there have some picture, it is best.
---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------
I have some ideas but I have not verified them. You can try to replace the recovery.img in china firmware for twrp and then fastboot flash on edl mode。if it can be done， dnot star it just into twrp and formatted data.
I will test this method on my old mi5 a little later.
To fix the front camera problem you'll have to flash the persist.img file of the 10.3.8 into the persist partition. It worked for me several times.
I accidentaly lock my bootloader, too, but I was able to unlock it right away
Don't worry mate, I had the same issue.
See this thread:

Miflash only works on an unlocked bootloader. It appears that you have a Chinese Model and you just did what was supposed to be avoided. You should get accustomed to Miflash moving forward. Never use Flash_All_Lock while cross flashing China/Global roms. You'll have to wait to unlock your Bootloader now and post that flash the China rom to get back. If any time you wish to move to the India rom, either use a twrp recovery or just use Flash_All while using the fastboot image which should eventually avoid locking the bootloader

1. if you can still enter fastboot mode, there is a possibility that you can do TWRP flashing again (the TWRP version must be correct so that the data on the cellphone can be read properly) / Flashing from the PC (if you are lucky, the flashing will work properly without any problem or you can bypass the bootloader locked using software or something else). [make sure ROM version must be appropriate because this is very crucial]
2. You can try using the test point method (EDL / Emergency Download Mode) [This method is usually used if your K20Pro is constrained by Hardbrick due to ARB4] , but this method requires you to open the case / body behind your K20Pro. and I cannot guarantee that the flashing process will succeed easily because in some cases if the K20Pro is detected damage / error due to ARB4, then you are required to have an Authorized Mi Account. I might be able to help you remotely, if you agree with the risks & requirements in the flashing process (I can lend my account, but it's not free).
Hi All, I did the same thing - whoever build the UI for MiFlash should be shot - why default that selection to something that will be undesirable!!?
Anyway, i tried to flash indian rom and forgot to set to Clean All, it locked the bootloader.
So i now have redmi recovery and Fastboot options only on phone.
Have tried fastboot + miflash but all options (now with Chinese rom) - says Erase Boot Error.
Tried MiAssistant + Mi PC Suite - it is not detecting the phone in either MiAssistant recovery mode nor Fastboot mode. what is weird is the phone and connector animation on phone is correctly depicting when it is plugged in/unplugged. But the PC suite isnt detecting the device.
Soft bricked - *sigh.... any help will be greatly appreciated from the community
BTW i am more worried that the phone will run out of battery and never wake up once battery drains completely as it is in bootloop into Redmi recovery and can't be turned off (someone tell me how!?) - I don't see the phone respond to charging in any state... : (
Can you still reach fastboot? If so you can unlock phone again and flash TWRP using ADB. After that boot straight into TWRP and connect it to your computer, internal SD storage should then automatically mount. Drag and drop ROM .zip into internal storage, use TWRP file manager to move it out of the data folder and do a default wipe using TWRP. Then flash .zip ROM (for example xiaomi.eu stable) and you should be back in business. Please let me know if you need any files like working recovery image and further instructions.
I had some trouble with my TWRP recovery yesterday, flashed it on unlocked bootloader with Chinese stable ROM installed, on reboot out of fastboot it boots straight into ROM and overwrites the TWRP recovery with default recovery. I fixed it by flashing recovery again, boot straight into it and flash xiaomi.eu stable, now recovery is TWRP and does not get overwritten.

You're probably going to have to open up the phone and pay $20 for someone to use their authorised account to flash an official ROM whilst remoting in to your PC.

Some great ideas - Just tried to unlock bootloader - This device came pre-unlocked so the device is tied to the seller's account.
I have unlock permission - but unlocker say device is not bound to my account matching my assumptions - anyone know what's the best way to re-claim ownership? Especially when I can't get into ROM at all?

My comment was meant for OP but I hoped it would help you as well! I am personally not well informed about the Xiaomi / Redmi ownership situation when the seller unlocked the phone.. maybe you can contact them and get a corresponding password to the account, it has been the solution I have seen offered here. Maybe the emergency flash solution from Robbo.5000 works?
I just got this phone a week now and was only able to unlock and flash yesterday, I was aware of the ownership problem thanks to this forum so I bought the sealed CN version. Hope you figure it out!
Thanks guys. I am going for the Test Point solution - have made contact with the Russian tech the others did and made an appointment. I just have to pretend to be Jerry Rig before then and open her up! Fingers crossed!

Can you still reach fastboot? If so you can unlock phone again and flash TWRP using ADB. After that boot straight into TWRP and connect it to your computer, internal SD storage should then automatically mount. Drag and drop ROM .zip into internal storage, use TWRP file manager to move it out of the data folder and do a default wipe using TWRP. Then flash .zip ROM (for example xiaomi.eu stable) and you should be back in business. Please let me know if you need any files like working recovery image and further instructions.
I had some trouble with my TWRP recovery yesterday, flashed it on unlocked bootloader with Chinese stable ROM installed, on reboot out of fastboot it boots straight into ROM and overwrites the TWRP recovery with default recovery. I fixed it by flashing recovery again, boot straight into it and flash xiaomi.eu stable, now recovery is TWRP and does not get overwritten.

You need yo flash magisk after you flash twrp if you want to run regular miui, to prevent it from overwriting the recovery. Its the same on poco and all xiaomi phones

The situation is that I just bought the K20 Pro. Then i unlock and flash by miflash with Global Rom via this thread then the device has bricked and has the message "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
Tried boot into recovery but the TWRP has gone and the bootloader has been locked.
Flash back to China Rom by miflash is doesn't work either, help me please, i don't know what to do now, i tried every thing i can.

Did you flash the global rom on an existing running Chinese rom or on an empty device (formatted)? Just for myself cuz I'm not sure whether to unlock and then unable to relock. Thanks.

1. if you can still enter fastboot mode, there is a possibility that you can do TWRP flashing again (the TWRP version must be correct so that the data on the cellphone can be read properly) / Flashing from the PC (if you are lucky, the flashing will work properly without any problem or you can bypass the bootloader locked using software or something else). [make sure ROM version must be appropriate because this is very crucial]
2. You can try using the test point method (EDL / Emergency Download Mode) [This method is usually used if your K20Pro is constrained by Hardbrick due to ARB4] , but this method requires you to open the case / body behind your K20Pro. and I cannot guarantee that the flashing process will succeed easily because in some cases if the K20Pro is detected damage / error due to ARB4, then you are required to have an Authorized Mi Account. I might be able to help you remotely, if you agree with the risks & requirements in the flashing process (I can lend my account, but it's not free).

Could you please point me to the person you have contacted?
I'm in EDL for about two weeks now, unable to solve it by different means (seller sais 'send it back', which I'm not goong to do; S-unlock has the service unavailable, even though I've paid them and the guy I contacted there tried through TW to no avail, waiting for a 'money back' now)..
I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.
Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !
Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

What kind of firmware are you trying to flash trough MiFlash ? recovery.zip or fastboot ? Can you take screenshots so people can know what is your issue ? Without screenshot no one will help you here !
Cheers
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.
Sorry for bad english

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.
This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.
If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9
Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Download the fastboot firmware version and execute flash all. (not flash and lock).
I assume you have fastboot access.

Hello all,
I just got the V12.5.5.0 update on my Redmi Note 10 5G (Global).
After I rebooted the system tapping the complete notification it is stuck on the MIUI Recovery screen.
My device is not rooted. It just has received OTA updates.
I tried to reboot the system a few times, but it didn't work.
Also, I tried the safe mode, but it didn't work either.
After Reboot or safe mode, it returns to the MIUI Recovery screen.
I haven't tried the Wipe Data option because I want to back up my files first if possible.
Is there any way to back up my files or be able to fix it?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
the only solution is enter into fastboot mode and flash stock fastboot firmware via miflash or similar tool

I tried that, but I am getting an error saying not allowed in locked state. It looks like the bootloader is locked, so I tried to use the Mi Unlock tool but I am getting error 1004. Also I tried wipe data, but it didn't work either. Right now, I don't care loss my data, I just want to have my phone back, any help is appreciated. Thanks
I have the exact same problem, after the update, lock on recovery mode, then when I tried to flash stock fastboot firmware it says that it is locked. And I also can't access Mi Unlock Tool for some reason, so if anybody has a solution to unlock bootloader I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
I got this same issue. Is there any way we can report this to mi? I don't mind if I lose my data rn, I just want this to start working normally again. someone please help if you know how to fix this

Found a solution on web. If your phone is on Mediatek(I suppose all Note 10 5g are Mediatek? or no?) So, if it is, just look for an unlocker. You will also need MiFlash and I recommend to install Global MIUI 12.5.4. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/camellian/stable/V12.5.4.0.RKSMIXM/ - MIUI

unfortunately this tutorial doesn't work here, I followed everything but it still didn't unlock the bootloader
Hi guys, I just woke up and my phone was in MIUI Recovery mode, just like yours.. Probably made the update automatically.
It seems this is a recent problem for many of us. I'm nowhere near an expect but I will continue looking for the solution (if possible, without whiping out the data or at least to be able to back-it up).
Will really appreciate if somebody posts if they find a solution.
Thanks!
The only solution is to wipe the phone. I got my lesson I will buy a samsung now
Hello all,
I got the V12.5.5.0 update to on my Redmi Note 10 5G (Global).
After I rebooted the system tapping the complete notification it is stuck on the MIUI Recovery 5.0 screen.
My device is not rooted. It just has received OTA updates.
I tried to reboot the system a few times, but it didn't work.
Also, I tried the safe mode, but it didn't work either.
After Reboot or safe mode, it returns to the MIUI Recovery screen.
I have tried the Wipe Data option and it worked and got me back to MIUI V12.5.4.0. But unfornnatly i lost all my files (about 90 Gb of data).
And this is the last i install any MIUI update until i see that a lot of user's have install it review it
My Poco M3 Pro 5G Global wasn't affected.
I manually download the OTA package and installed successfully.
This phone has a/b slot.
I'm wondering those facing this issue, have you tried switching from a to b slot or vice versa?
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot --set-active=b

i think the ota released by xiaomi is bugged. you're operation is correct, but a correct ota might do this automatically. i have noticed that many users with unlocked bootloader, after the update have phone that dont boot. i think they cant enter on fastboot mode. the only solution is flash using mediatek SP FLASH TOOL. or MI FLASH PRO. or ALL IN ONE TOOL
Was someone able to access the "Connect with MIAssistant" part using pcsuite?
I couldn't, but I think it might be because the USB cable I'm using is not the original one from Xiaomi or one compatible.
work only if you have installed also pcsuite on your device. if u have a full stock loked device only solutions are Mediatek tool or miflash pro! or all in one tool. as i said a million time already
I have redmi note 10s. I bacame bored of miui because of several bugs. So i decided to mod the device with a nice custom rom. I started the process. Because it is a mtk device, it has complicated flashing process than snapdragon devices. I entered the fastbootD mode and cleared the system by using adb command(which i dont remember). Then i flashed the custom rom. By mistake, I locked the bootloader by typing adb command fastboot oem lock. But now due to complicated case, the device is showing your system has been destroyed and when i try to force reboot it into fastboot, it still give systen destroyed error(means fastboot mode is inaccessible). Can anyone please help me to fix this issue without using edl pins? I am in a great issue
I cant go to service center as my device is out of warranty
in google there is a pc program than can unlock bootloader of mediatek devices, search for it
Bro i cant access the bootloader, so unlocking it doesnt make any difference
I want to restore the bootloader.

Okay so first of all download "mtk client"
Than open the mtk client
It will give you instructions on how to connect your phone, take back of everything except system(super),vendor and userdata. Tap on flash tab there you'll notice a option called unblock bootloader tap on it and your bootloader will be unlocked
Bro Will this restore my bootloader or only unlock it because if it only unlocks then your help wont work.

Start from BROM mode - that is always available. Then you can use mtktool to restore everything. I have an article about it on my blog, but I am not supposed to post it here... find it in my profile, or send me a PM for help.
