Realme doesn't released EDL flash tool for our device SO NO way to unbrick it. But you can try gsm guys but most of them are scammers

After wrong rom update, phone is in bootloop.
Bootloader is locked.
Pc recognize phone only in edl mode (with TestPoint)
If I install a stock global rom (like when it was new) with Miflash can I restore it?
Wich rom I need to download? Fastboot? Someone can link me a good stock rom? (Global version)
Wich version of MiFlash I need to use?
I try with 2/3 different rom but MiFlash give me error: cannot receive hello packet
With bootloader locked you can't flash trough fastboot. I think the only way to recover is bring to assistance.
How is it possible wrong update? It was an OTA?

If it was an OTA of the stock ROM he could recover the phone by flashing the stock ROM in recovery mode with MI Flash.
If you flash any ROM other than the stock version that came with the phone (like flashing Global on a phone that came with China ROM) and then relock the bootloader which is the default option in MI Flash then your phone is hard bricked which is something Xiaomi owners have been doing for as long as I've owned Xiaomi phones.
The only way to recover the phone is via an EDL Test point Flash which requires both technical knowledge (the phone needs to be opened and an electrical short created by touching two specific points on the motherboard) and also an authorization code that Xiaomi will never give out.
Bricking the phone this way voids the warranty. Some service centers are willing to try an EDL Test Point reset but the cost is 100% out of pocket for the owner and is paid whether the process works or not.
Most people eventually recognize that they've turned their phone into a paper weight and getting it working again is not going to happen.

The situation kinda frustrates me; not because it's happened to me (I hope it never does) but because Xiaomi likely designed the ROM mismatch brick on purpose. If they didn't they know about it now and really should have done more to rectify it.
They've also set the default MiFlash settings to lock on every flash.
I'm guessing they did it to protect their revenue; deter people from importing devices cheaper then flashing the ROM for their region. But I still don't get it in some ways - even with a China handset flashed with a global ROM you're not going to get the network bands you'd get on the regional variant. I'd say that's enough to justify the price difference.
A brick is going too far imo; someone still purchased that hardware with their hard-earned money. Also a major concern for e-waste.
In general I've lost faith in Xiaomi's warranty altogether. I bought a global variant of their handset as I assumed it meant global warranty (Xiaomi earlier misled UK buyers on this by accident via hukd). I was wrong of course; as it's a grey import it's not covered - however I've always considered Xiaomi synonymous with imports. Their phones aren't as widely available here (but that's changing) and their warranty service is restricted to an incredibly small proportion of owners through authorized resellers. It was too expensive to purchase the device domestically. Some argue that you pay for warranty when you buy domestically though I suspect they already factored it into the production cost of each unit anyway.
Phone was bricked after flashing Mi 9T pro rom with fastboot (But phone is K20 PRO)
Phone is "open", I made the Test Point and the phone is seen by xiaomiflash in EDL mode.
How can I do now? I Think I need a K20 PRO Global Rom, someone can post me correct rom for flashing it with xiaomiflash in edl mode?
Hello everyone.
I flashed a global ROM into my K20 Pro and accidentally checked for clean & lock in MiFlash.
Now I cannot flash any ROM, the phone doesn't boot into the OS, and cannot re unlock the bootloader.
I heard about some Qulacomm tools that might help flash some images but I didn't find anything.
Please guide me toward unlocking the bootloader back.

If you unlocked the phone yourself before, then you can unlock It again. If you bought the phone already unlocked and have never bound the phone to your Mi account, then you can only fix it by EDL flashing, which needs an authorised Mi account. Try contacting a local Mi service centre if there is one, or contacting Xiaomi support online.
Alternatively try and find someone with an authorised account who can flash it remotely, for a fee, though these are getting harder to find.

If you search this section and the guides section for hard brick posts you'll find WhatsApp numbers for people who could do this, but I've read at least one of these people no longer do it. If you see anything about S-Unlock, ignore it, they no longer can unlock Xiaomi phones.

Hello, I unfortunately have Hard Brick my Realme X2 PRO, and I would like to know if after the manipulations I have done they could take it as warranty.
I have
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Rooted the phone
-Unroot the phone
-Relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock blablah"
I know that it was the bootloader relock that caused the brick and I would like to know if they can take it as warranty since it is unroot and with the bootloader locked.
If I say to customer service "problem during an update" is it valid? thank you in advance.
Not to worry mate , just tell them the phone is not booting after some ota update . It should be valid

Besides, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty with Realme?

I locked my bootloader and it now my phone is in soft brick.... If you want to lock you can downgrade your OS to ColorOS and you can acess Fastboot easily

That's what I did with Auth-flash, even paid credits to revert back to ColorOS.
Now I'm at C.29 with Realme UI 1.0 with Bootloader unlocked but not able to access to Booloader.
At least I can use NFC and use the phone normally, only no root, no bootloader, no widevine.
I have similar issue. It seems that Realme has blacklisted our devices from entering bootloader. Tell me this, has your phone been sent to Realme for repairs after you tempered with the bootloader?

Yes Milan in my case, I took to realme service center , but after getting repaired, i used unlocking tool again and it worked no problem but after the updates I felt like i should lock the bootloader , so i did with a command " fastboot flashing lock " now whenever i try to unlock it doesn't unlocks rather shows fastboot logo 2-3 sec, also i tried in color os 6 but nothing happend there also, now im using color os 6 which is still better in terms of performance as compared to realme ui , ui 2.0 and also i can't upgrade to android 10 or android 11 from coloros 6 due to the fact that the security patch won't match realme ui , ultimately leading to bootloop , which was the earlier case for me to go to service center .

I've reached out to the local Realme service center and I asked them if my bootloader was blacklisted. After running some checks with Realme HQ, they've told me to send the device to them, so that they could flash/update the software themselves in order to regain access to my bootloader. Which means that no matter what we try, we won't be able to get the bootloader unlocked ourselves without Realme's intervention.

I don't know what the price is in your country, it costs me about 3 dollars in my country alone and how long it takes you should ask realme customer service in your country I use neo 2t only version Chinese domestic rom so the
customer service center in my country must contact the Chinese factory to apply for permission and the original stock ROM this to unbrick my phone takes about 2 days
