and still no unlcoking
there is any other way to unlock BL?
same error by me
same error, what happen is this
Wait for sometime after you request for unlocking bootloader.. It won't Unlock immediately (rare cases it does) I waited for 6days to unlock. Some other for even 1month.. so Just wait for sometime, You must have received a message saying you can Unlock the bootloader. So after that message wait for 4-5 days atleast and then try. If unsuccessful try again after a regular intervals of 4-5 days. I know this is Really Annoying but this is how Xiaomi Works :')
same for me
is there another method to unofficially unlock BL?
cause I already disassembled the devices so I'm able to boot to EDL by test point,
however I don't see the benefits of EDL for unlocking ...
best regards
I have the same problem.

Try using VPN, maybe Xiaomi blocking International IPs. Set location to china via a VPN then try.
this is most annoying issue since they introduced locked bootloader devices 2 or 2.5 years back.
the best solution to get unlock bootloader is to do not even try to unlock for it few days and later try this is what works for most people out there who has got unlock permission.
they are not improving their services or they have designed the unlocking process just in this way(get unlock permission and wait for days and then user can get unlocked bootloader)
until now i haven't heard or seen a single person who has got bootloader unlocked immediately after getting permission in first attempt.
so my recommendation is kindly wait for few days and then try.
I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 in a Xiaomi Shop in Shanghai. If I try to relock the bootloader I always get stuck booting on the recovery mode. Besides, I can not flash anything (supersu, xposed...) because I always end in bootloop; in both cases it is a softbrick
Can anybody help me?
If you have a mi8 Chinese box you aren't allowed to flash global ROM and lock bootloader.
And is there any way to fix it? Writing to Xiaomi, waiting X time...?
Thanks for your reply!
There are literally, more than a few hundred threads about not relocking. You modified your phone without reading up, no sympathy here. Your phone is dead if it is not global version. Gone. Paperweight. All the best to you

Hey! Nice to meet you and thanks for your kind answer. This placer is better thanks to people like you.
By the way,my mobile works perfectly. I relocked the bootloader more than once and I just needed to unblocked to solve it. About reading the posts, If you had read you would have realized that what interests me is simply to know if I can re-block the bootloader.

Better now, at least you're helping to find the information. And you are right, I should read more before doing anything; in fact, I read a lot but you know, internet is so big and it's no difficult to get lost in that information sea (even more if you're a noob in the area). I'll do it better next time.

I bought it a couple of weeks ago. And no, I cannot relock it without sending it to bootloop.
The thing went like that: I unlocked the bootloader, I flashed the global ROM, I relocked the bootloader and I fell into recovery bootloop. So I entered on fastboot mode, I unblocked the bootloader again (with the Xiaomi tool), I went to fastboot again and I reflashed the global ROM.
The bootloader have to be open to allow the global ROM work. I don't know why I have avoided the brick, but this is what I've done at least twice.

Well if it bootloops the first time after you relocked it, it'll bootloop again & again. Was there any time after relocking did your phone boot properly? If not, you didn't avoid anything. As far as I understand, boot loop = soft brick.
And this is what I found on MIUI official forum:

If I read it right, your device goes into bootloop when installing a Global ROM version and trying to block the bootloader. Probably your device is a Chinese version, which should only have the bootloader locked running a China ROM.
Otherwise, it will be bootloop.

True that. Any Chinese devices running global will get (soft)bricked
Yeah, I was asking is you know the way to lock a chinese phone in global rom. Maybe in the future or with MIUI 10
Is it possible to enter EDL mode via opening your device and connecting the dots to enter 9008 Mode and than use QFIL (Qualcomm_Flash_Image_Loader) to restore the software, instead of going with the MiFlashTool and a needed EDL authorized account?

Actually these are excellent news, I had never read about a case like this. We knew that if the bootloader was unlocked by the seller and you locked it flashing a global rom (being a Chinese phone) you would get a brick only repairable through testpoint and using an authorized account. But I had never read about doing the same whith the bootloader unlocked by the user and I didn't know if it would be possible to unlock it again. So now we know this :
- Chinese unlocked by the seller -> brick locking while flashing global -> impossible to unlock and edl needed
- Chinese unlocked by the owner -> brick locking while flashing global -> ability to re-unlock and flash normally
I had some questions now :
1.- Did you have to wait to unlock the bootloader the first time? (360hrs, 720hrs.. You know)
2.- Did you have to wait when unlocking after the brick or was it instantly unlocked?
Thanks in advance!

It seems to me that this is not so, as some members still manage. However, since they did not add their personal Account to the developer options, they were not able to unlock the device again because they did not have the account associated with the device. It seems to be something related to different cases.
What can be recommended is that the devices unlocked by the seller, return to Chinese ROM more stable, and have your bootloader blocked. By then, the user requests to unblock the bootloader regardless of the time they have to wait. Thus making everything safer, in the case of possible bricks in the future.

Have you ever heard of read about somebody doing that? Because I think there's still the doubt about the unlocking method used by the sellers, whether they do a regular unlock with an account or they patch the boot in any way which could cause problems locking the bootloader.
I have a REdmi k20 pro chinese version. In hurry of flashing Indian ROM into it I selected the clean and lock option which softbricked the phone. Now when I am trying to unlock it again through Unlocking tool it is asking me to wait for 30 days before unlocking a new phone. Is there any other way that I can unlock my device? I have tried unlocking it with some older version of unlocking tool still of no use.
Please someone help me on this

Xiaomi now only let you unlock 1 phone per month on your Mi account. On the 1st November you will see the countdown reset to the normal 7 days.
Your options are wait until the 8th November, when you'll be able to unlock it, or EDL flash the phone. Which involves opening up the phone to put it in EDL mode and paying about $15 to then flash the phone with an authorised account.
You're not the first, so there's a handful of threads already, giving details of how to EDL flash a bricked phone.
Redmi Note 8 Global wow what a phone and what a pathetic dialer (google) and sms(google) app. I am saying this because I had Redmi note 7 with stock dilaer and sms app. What are you missing with google dialer and sms app
1. no theming
2. no sms seperate notification sound
3. No call recording
4. no blocking rules for incoming sms etc
You can switch to official Indonesia or Indian ROM to have MIUI Stock apps.
1. Download only fastboot version (not recovery )
ROM Redmi Note 8: MIUI 11 + MIUI 10 Global Stable India, Indonesia & China Stable
2. Unlock Bootloader (1 week wait) and flashing
https://c.mi.com/thread-1857937-1-0.html
Note1
If you want to change the ROM from one region to another (China/Indonesia/Global/Russia) installed on your phone then, 1st, Unlock Bootloader and then use Method 2: Fastboot Update to flash your phone. (Detailed Guide "Detailed Guide to Unlock Bootloader and Flash MIUI Stable/Beta ROM")
Note 2
DO NOT RE-Lock the Bootloader if you change from China ROM to Global ROM in China phone. Re-Locking will BRICK your phone. Select only "Clean All" option before flashing.
On Locking Bootloader, you MUST visit: On which ROM and Device you CAN and CAN'T Lock Bootloader!
Just follow instructions its quite easy. I have flashed two redmi note 8 global to redmi note 8 indian for one I kept the bootloader open and for other i relocked the bootloader.
Dont hesitate to ask questions if confused
Thank you man

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that they would pay heed to our cries when rolling out MIUI 11, but have been very dismayed. Should have gone for the Redmi Note 7, instead of the 8 if If I had only known about this issue earlier. I am using Drupe and Textra as my dialer and sms app, but it is always better to use stock.
Anyways, I will try to change ROM over the weekend, and post the results.

Well, I'm not 100% sure, but unlocking the bootloader means you have to contact Xiaomi in a online method to get an application to do the procedure. So, they will know you have unlocked anyway.

As I sayed, unlocking bootloader envolves a online procedure, and so maybe Xiaomi will know you have unlocked the bootloader. If they have track of serial/IMEI with unlocked bootloader, you local seller can access this list and discover you have unlocked.
But, I'm SUPPOSING they have... Personally, I won't unlock phone on warranty period. Maybe someone else can tell you if I'm right.

At this moment I am in the waiting period of 168hrs to get the unlock. Xiaomi understands that you unlocked the bootloader since you made the request? or until the wait for 168 hours ends and you perform the procedure ?
If the waiting period of 168 hrs ends and I decide to let the warranty period pass, when I tried to unlock the bootloader again, would I have to wait again ?, that is, when passing a Long period of time, the hour meter restarts?
If at this moment I am in the waiting period, I get an update via OTA, does this interfere with the waiting period for the bootloader unlock?
Thanks for the patience.

That link is for every MIUI device, correct me if I'm wrong. But you're right, isn't clear if the "IN" on that images are Indian or Indonesian. I can't tell you if exists any differences, also. Sorry.
About the unlock, you are only waiting a "code" to unlock your phone. Your request don't means you already unlocked (by the way, you will be able to unlock after the time period ends). I believa will be no problems with OTA, since the Mi account you used to make the request is still on the phone (don't remove the account or reset your phone while you are waiting the code!).
Can't tell if the period to unlock have a timeline, but I believe it don't have. Once you get the permission, it is binded with your Mi account and that specific device, so probally is permanent.
Once you received the code, you will input it on Mi Unlocker. Once done, you're unlocked, and Xiaomi knows you unlocked
the bootloader. But, as I sayed... I'm not sure, I'm supposing this is the way.
Thanks for the info about languages.

Why do you want to flash the ROM of India ?, Do not mind losing the NFC?
I flashed the ROM of Indonesia in my Redmi Note 8 PRO, it is multilanguage and does not lose NFC. Then lock the bootloader without any problem.
What method to use?
In fastboot run the following command:
fastboot oem lock.
Before closing the bootloader, I recommend that you make a backup, because you will lose everything.
Hi Guys,
I purchsed Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro from Aliexpress with a Global Rom version but the device is a Chinese version.
The seller had to install global firmware and assosiate my device to other Mi account.
The current situation is my bootloader is locked and I can not use the Mi officially to unlock my device.
I tried to contact to the seller, but he can not assist me (they don't know the Mi account access details to release my device).
Duo to that, I tried looking the internet and found this forum. I have a good technic skill so I start tested all the suggestion the forum has to offer.
First I tried ADB and Fastboot, both are failed with the error - FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device)
I also tried miflash but he's requesting Mi account that I dont have the device their. I tried to flash a new fastboot but no success.
I really dont know what else to try, I hope someone here can spred some light on my issue from stoping my device to use as doorstops.
Thank you,
Noy
The bootloader cannot be locked to a Chinese device with a Global rom.
There is no Chinese Mi 9 t pro, the Chinese version is the K20 pro.

The device stuck on "Main Menu" MIUI Recovery 5.0 so I can not verified the phone model, but according to the seller page the model is: M1903F11A

I also tried to use MTK to unlocked the bootloader but I had no success to get the device into a brom mode. I can not trun the phone off, Vol+ & Vol- not works.
Is there any difference between the Mi 9 t pro and the K20 pro?
According to the model number, it is a K20 pro.
Chinese device so the bootloader is locked but with a Chinese rom since this is not possible with a global rom.
Same device except less 4G bands for the K20.

If the device is linked to an account that is not yours, nothing to do.
Is it a new or used device?
Check with the seller or send the phone back to him.
The device was new when I purchased it, the seller said there is no warranty on the device and he can not do anything about it. they used outsource company to do the installation of the Global ROM.
Surely there is a way to bypass Xiaomi locked on the bootloader. the Kernel can be overwrite somehow. just need to find the right way.

What you are saying now is inconsistent with your original post.
A long story to get to 'lock with fastboot'.
I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding, here is the long story:
In 2019 I got this device from Aliexpress with a Global Rom version but the device is a Chinese version.
The phone was in English, working well with Google Play, and there was no issues with it.
In few months ago I wanted to start using Google Pay and my credit card was not approved for some reason, I contact google suppport and one of thier questions was "Have you unlocked your bootloader, rooted your device, or installed a custom ROM?"
So I started to google it, I find that my bootloader is unlocked, so I thought that I will need to lock it to be able using the Google pay service. what was found a terrible mistake.
First I understand that the only legal way to unlock it was using the Xiaomi official Mi program to unlock it. what I was found that I need Mi account with a registered device on it. my device is registered on some Chinese guy that I dont know so basically he's the legal owner of my device. so I start to look for an alternative solutions.
In my knolage with programs, I can handle with complex solutions to bypass this issue. but none of my trying wasn't succeeded. as I mentions I tried many was to bypass Xiaomi servers, now I found Miracle Box that promising to do the trick but its for only registered members. also there are some guys that said they can unlock the bootloader for money, but I dont know how trust they are....
I hope some of you guys can lead me to any idea/solution or something....
Thank you all for your time, much appriciated.

So, since 2019 you have used your device without a Xiaomi account, which severely limits Xiaomi services?
never used Xiaomi services...
Try to erase the data with the recovery or safe mode, if the option exists, but anyway if the phone is linked to an account you will be asked for the password.
Accounts are linked with a phone and email number and when you change the number a message is displayed.
Thank you, already tried it...
Is anyone know somthing about this? https://github.com/Canny1913/miunlock
Is the token is the key to success?
To sum up:
You have bricked your phone by locking the bootloader with a Global rom.
The reboot is possible but paying but when the phone reboots Xiaomi will ask you for your account and password.
Never ending Story.

Users who want to flash their phones need to study how to use tools, which ROMs to flash, etc
Eg, when flashing a ROM by Mi Flash, always uncheck relocking of the Bootloader. Then, if anything goes wrong, Bootloader will remain unlocked and one can still flash another ROM to easily unbrick the phone
