Hello there,
So let me explain to you what happent to me.
1 week ago i received the notification telling me that i can update to android 10 with miui 10.4.8, so i did it and i don't know why when the phone rebooted it was stuck on start screen, infinitly loading.
I let it like this all the night, and then when i woke up it was still in the same state.
So i dedicated to flash my older rom, 10.3.5, but when i flashed it using fastboot rom the bootloader got relocked again and i had this message telling me "This miui version can't be installed on your device" in recovery
I can't unlock bootloader again because i need to add my mi account to miui (wich i have no access to), so i decided to use the EDL method, i contacted some people that have an verified miui account with EDL permission, i flashed 10.3.5 but problem is still here i made sure it was indian rom because my phone is india (raphaelin)
So here i am without a solution
Thanks in advance, i can pay if peope can help me
Use miflash and a stock rom. I've never had the bootloader relock itself through flashing.

Firstly I want to thank every one here
I want to clarify for the first that the phone was already unlocked when I bought it. All go well until the day of doing this stupidity
I put the version 8.9.20 it got stuck (this miui version can't be installed on this device __1st attachment) but when I wanted to return to 10.0.20 with fastboot it tells me locked phone I managed to update to 8.10.25 with another tool but I was still stuck with this screen (1st attachment)
So I thought I need to unlock it I launch the unlocking tool he announces this message (current account is not bound to this device __2nd attachment)
Conclusion phone that has not done yet a month with totally unusable I was so happy with this phone that I could not return to iPhone.
Please find me a solution dear friends

My Device is Xiaomi Mi 8 Global version bought from Gearbest
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Flashing different rom, like you had installed on your phone (global, xiaomi.eu) need unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. Or, if you had opened bootloader, and you flashed with Mitool, then you should unmark befor flashing the flash and lock option, cos ist closing your bootloader and bricking your device. Also have the last time xiaomi devices antirollback. For more info have a look in forum!Its already thread about this!
Can i resolve this problem with edl xiaomi cable ?
Hello, I have a few questions about flashing rom just to make sure I wouldn't end up in EDL mode again. First, let me tell something. I have bought my K20 pro on Aliexpress which come with a firmware that mark as MI 9T pro with bootloader unlocked but without TWRP install. I have tried to flash Android Q beta though fastboot without using the option Flash & Lock but i was end up in locked bootloader and then i got it fixed through EDL mode by paying someone from Russia who i don't know the name. Later on, I got another bad luck again by upgrading my official Chinese firmware through OTA and then the phone suddenly shutdown in the middle of the process which break both my recovery and fastboot so i have to go through EDL again. So, my questions are:
1. If i flash anything such as magisk, viper, or upgrade my xiaomi.eu firmware through TWRP, will something like my second story occur again? Or, does flashing through TWRP will brick both recovery and fastboot in the same or similar case?
2. After EDL mode, bootloader was unlocked by default so, what can I do to bind my MI account with the device? Because in case it locked again, then I can use xiaomi bootloader unlock tools to unlock it. In the first story, the device come with bootloader unlocked, and after flashed Android Q beta, the bootloader was triggered and locked so then I tried to unlocked it but Xiaomi bootloader unlock tools told me that my account is not bind to this device.
3. If i flash magisk, then do i need to always re-flash it on every system upgrade(xiaomi eu firmware)?

1. In theory flashing with TWRP shouldn't touch the fastboot or recovery partitions, unless you choose to. If you know what you're doing, then flashing with TWRP is reasonably safe.
2. You could try flashing an official Chinese fastboot ROM and locking the bootloader, then link it to your account. Don't try and install anything else, live with the official Chinese ROM and go through the normal unlock process. Once you've waited and got unlock permission for the phone against your Mi account, then unlock and install the ROM of your choice along with anything else.
But this does come with a small risk that the phone is still linked to the sellers account.
3. I went straight from stock to a GSI, so not sure about eu ROMs. If they have an OTA process that downloads then installs via TWRP (similar to official LOS), then it's possible Magisk will re-install at the same time. Someone who uses eu ROMs will need to confirm what happens.
For anything else, you'll needed to re-install Magisk.

I believe it is a risky method because if the bootloader is locked the phone might brick again and I have to do EDL again too. I wish if there is a safer method, because I experienced EDL mode twice already and it is terrible and need to pay lot of money just to fix it. :crying:

Flashing an official fastboot ROM in the Mi Flash Tool and selecting 'clean all and lock' "shouldn't" brick the phone. If you're on an official Chinese ROM, then going through the standard unlock process "shouldn't" brick the phone.
The biggest risk in doing this would be finding that the phone is still linked to the sellers account.
If you want to be able to unlock the bootloader with your own Mi account, should it get locked again, then this is your only option.
However, you could leave it as it is and just make sure you never lock it again.

Thank you very much for help. I have read both but unfortunately i can not UNLOCK my bootloader… when i was trying to unlock the bootloader through MI UNLOCK, it says "Current account is not bound to this device". Otherwise if this was succesful and i could unlock it, then it would be easy i believe.

Since you locked the boot loader, you'd have to flash (with fastboot) using the same flavor of miui which was installed. (example: chinese or eu variation), otherwise you won't be able to boot.

Yes, that i understood… There was EU variation with unlocked bootloader, which i do not know why, but okay…
But now i can not unlock it, it says, when i try to unlock it though fastboot with mi unlock, it says "Current acount is not bound to this device, ADD your acount and device in MIUI"s setting > developer options> mi unlock status.. but obviously i can not do it since i can not turn on my phone, its stuck on recovery mode.

I can help you
First of all you need chinese mi assistant
Second you need try three versions of roms(eeu , china , global) but im pretty sure that your phone is chinese version that bought from gray market and they unlock bootloader to install global rom
After you download these tell me, i guide you
Be sure download recovery rom (not fastboot)
It has .zip extension not tgz

If you know how to sideload the rom then everything is become okay dont worry
After successful debrick you must bound you mi account to your phone and wait for bl unlock then reflash with mi flash tool and global rom
AND DONT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Yes, unfortunately i do not know how to sidload the rom... But when i have Chinese rom downloaded then what do i do with that? I connect the phone through mi assistant and there it can be flashed?
I had the same thing happen. You need to force a firmware flash ?
I had someone on xda recommend an excellent recovery tool.
It's called 'miflashpro'. It can be hard to find the English version. I did eventually but actually unbricked my Mi9 with the Italian version.
99% chance your cell can be fixed this way
bricked too
I'm having the same problem here, after wipe in twrp mode my phone restart and i'm blocked on bootloader screen.

I did the same thing with a Mi CC9 relocked the bootloader by mistake thinking it was like any other android phone. Did you have a Xiaomi account associated with the phone and signed into after enabling oem unlock in developer options.
If tha'ts the case you can use https://en.miui.com/unlock/ tool from where but it checks your phone number to see whether its associated with mi unlock.
Otherwise you will have to use EDL method which involves disassembling back of phone and shorting out two pins to initialize EDL data transfer but you need a EDL associated account this (belief xiaomi has revoked everyone access to these)
Hello all members.I had same problem and I open this phone with suport from youtube .I try clean some connector and worming cpu and motherboard. After change the battery with new.

It sounds like you flashed with the Mi Flash Tool and forgot to change the flash option and so locked the bootloader. Unfortunately doing this bricks the phone when flashing a ROM that is not the same region the phone is from.
You could wait until 1st October and start the unlock again, it should reset to 7 days then. Your other option is to open up the phone and pay $15 to EDL flash a ROM. This guide tells you all about this.

I have tried using fastboot rom with mi flash tool and gives the error antirolback message, I have tried rom of the forum xiaomi.eu, i have tried to unlock the bootloader again and gives the message for me to turn off the wifi and use the chip, however does not recognize the chip and do not know what to do. Could someone help me please, I no longer have any ideas on how to proceed. I thank you for your attention right now.

If you are still stuck, try to install the fastboot EU ROM or install TWRP and flash the EU stable or weekly. With the Chinese version it requires you to connect with your sim to compare imea number and account phone number. The EU version doesn't ask. It might get you out of a fix.
Just be warned that if your phone was affected by the radio going off during any official proceedure, you may have corrupted your persist.img file. I'm not sure if there is any way back if you have other than may be an EDL reflash or a trip to a service center. If you are really stuck, go down the EU ROM first, then EDL before sending it off unless you can claim on its warranty.

No, u must wait
what if you create a new mi account and login with it and try to unlock again? anyone tried before?
Maibe if U put another sim. Even so, imei remains the same. I think phone data will be recognised by XI if U try to make another account.
