Stuck in fastboot, Bootloader is locked! Need help!

I have flashed my device without enabling debug mode. I have used Mi Flash to flash my device. After a reboot, I got stuck on fastboot, but bootloader is locked. Also, I can't enter on twrp...
If I do: fastboot devices, my device is recognized by PC.
If I do: fastboot oem device-info, all information is false except device tempered...On "device unlocked" it shows false too... It means that bootloader is locked.
if I do: adb devices: under List of devices attached, there is no device.
What should I do? Please help me out.

Bro it'd be highly appreciated if you could guide me what that is and what will it do ? i opened the website and it says you must have officially bootloader unlocked.
If your bootloader is locked, you need to unock it first before you can do anything. If you had registered your device with your Mi account, you can still do that following this description:
https://www.stechguide.com/mi-flash-unlock-tool-to-unlock-bootloader-of-xiaomi-devices/
If you did not register your device before, there is no way to get it repaired but by an official verndor or Xiaomi customer support.
Sorry if that is bad news for you.

The issue is, my mobile isnt bound with my MI account. cant unlock. my mi account is unlock supported but my mobile isnt connected to my account. thats fuked up.
I bought the mobile from china, but i'm not in china. i cant claim warranty. i dont know what would be the procedure now.
Yeah, same for me. Also bought mine from a vendor in China.
Good phone, but without support within your country, there is nothing you can do now.
Sorry for the bad news, mate.
The only way its go to EDL mode by forcing its by hacking the hardware to force EDL mode and do test point to reach edl it will detected as qloader9008 hub in the device manger and you can flash rom using this method
Reference
Its in indonesian language but atleast the video explain how to go to EDL mode
Goodluck

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. When close the phone they suprised me and working good.After 10 hours again close and bricked. I try sake and again open .So....the real problem its not CPU and motherboard but some connector dont touch good. Sory for my English. I hope some other find which connector have problem in this phone and pm me. Now my MI 9 working good but I keep bickerful ...

Strange MI Unlock error | BL locked and system destroyed

Hi Guys,
Everything went wrong today. At the end i went to the point where i myself locked bootloader with fastboot. Want to unlock it again but this strange error appeared:

Does anyone know what this means? Phone is locked, can only go into fastboot.
Same here. My dumbass thought it would be a good idea to lock the bootloader (don't ask why because I don't even know the answer). System is destroyed and can only boot to fastboot. No Mi ID associated with it.

system destroyed happens when you lock bootloader on Chines device with global ROM. You get it when you trying to boot in system?

For EDL flash you need xiaomi authorized account, there is rumors that some Indians make EDL flash with remote connection and their authorized account for 12$. Try to search in google or if you have a xiaomi seller or official repair in your home town, check there how much it will cost you.
You sure you have a global version? Were you bought the phone? Was it with locked or unlocked bootloader and what ROM was on it? Because some sellers, mostly on aliexpress and similar, just unlock bootloader on Chines devices, flash a global ROM and call it global version.
From the image attached, it looks like someone used the Find Device feature and activated Lost Mode. Is the Mi account number shown yours?

K20 PRO the system has been destroyed, help-me

I have one K20 PRO, when i turn on show "the system has been destroyed", this message show after flashed one global rom with box "flash all and lock" checked.
The bootloader is locked, and i tried flash stock rom on EDL Mode with MI Flash but i dont have one authorized account.
Help me please.

I guess you should try unlocking the Bootloader again...It takes couple of days though. With the Corona virus being a thing in China it might take you a century to get a response, that is, if you ever receive one.

If the phone is bound to your own Mi account and you had already unlocked the bootloader yourself before, then you should be able to unlock the bootloader again, then flash an official ROM WITHOUT locking the bootloader.
If you bought the phone with the bootloader unlocked and you've never bound it to your own Mi account, then EDL flashing with an authorised account is the only way. The problem lately is that people are now finding it hard to find someone with an authorised account to do the EDL flash. If you live somewhere near an authorised Xiaomi service centre, then you could plead with them to flash it.

if u didnt bind your account for bootloader unlock in developer options u can forget about unlock bootloader. U have only mi account on your phone but u didnt bind device with your account for unlock, so only solution is to find someone to flash in edl for u.

Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Bootlooder locked

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.
What is the phone model (my phone/characteristics/model)?

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
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33016509936.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.61.21ef180253I770
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.

This model is from 2019, seems strange that Ali sells new ones.
And you still don't understand that there can't be a Global rom on this model with the bootloader locked.

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.
Noy
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
