Hi, I bought my mi5 almost immediately after the release. I unlocked the bootloader and used the phone for all these years. Very recently while flushing with MI FLASH I accidentally ticked the flash all and lock option.
After that , bootloader is locked and can't add miui account so can't unlock the bootloader.After the boot it shows find storage device corrupted. I tried to flash via edl but deep flash cable/test point isn't taking it to the edl mode.Fastboot is almost un- usable. I was in latest global stable after trying a few tricks managed to flash global developer room.Still can't add the middle account that gonna bound my device to the account so that I can unlock the bootloader.
Any Idea?:crying:

Hi all,
I have searched for a solution to this but haven't come across anyone witht the same issue.
I bought a Mi 9 from China which came with the Global rom loaded. I found out that I couldn't use Google Pay unless I rooted with Magisk.
So I went through the process of trying to flash Magisk through fast boot (didn't work - boot loop to recovery) then with TWRP (didn't work - boot to TWRP and freeze).
I then used Miflash to flash the latest global stable version. Unfortunately I didn't notice it was defaulted to "clean all and lock" when I flashed. When the device restarted, it loaded into recovery and was no longer unlocked. The message is "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". But I can't flash again, because its locked.
I downloaded the MiUnlock app and after running it get the message "Current account is not bound to this device" with instructions to change settings in developer options. But I can't access the developer options because the MIUI isn't loading.
So, yeah. I think I'm in trouble. Any suggestions?
If your device was global version i would say flash fastboot ROM with Mi flash tool or using script flash_all.bat. Then bound your account to your device, then try to unlock recovery. But i red that in some cases Chines version is not so simple, so search, how to flash fastboot ROM on Chines device and if there is some problems with this.
You will need adb and fastboot installed on your pc.
Upd. Man it's all over the internet, just search "This miui version can't be installed on this device". There is a fix with opening the device and so on... but if i was you i would try to contact the seller of the device and ask him to use his account to unlock recovery. My be using teamviewer or similar software.
you bought in china with global rom and it was unlocked already ? because if you tried twrp then the device must be unlocked (bootloader)
then it was a China Version with unlocked bootloader and global rom. you used then the miflash and locked the bootloader again and flashed the global rom...
so you bricked your device....
if found this in an other forum:
"Dear customers, our service provides services in a remote format, if you are from another country .
If you need Mi Authorized EDL Account or you need my services for the restoration of the brick phones and the account is deleted, mi, if you forgot , contact me on my contacts : WhatsApp +7967 777 15 98"

Thanks! I searched as suggested and am trying a fix from the MIUI forum "[FIX] unbrick your BL LOCKED phone without xiaomi id authorization!!!". If that doesn' work I'll go with the team viewer option. Cheers!

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
3. https://youtu.be/8mW0JzKow7E
here's the exact EDL test point required on Mi9
if you can't boot or recognize the device at all via fastboot or ADB. If this doesn't work nothing will...
But it will work, that's what the factory does. Obviously the last resort.
any success?
My device is redmi 4x. I tried to install a custom rom though TWRP recovery but however it started to bootloop. So i flashed the device and forgot to "Do Flash and unlock". After flashing i was unable to add mi account, for that reason I cant unlock the boatloader. And the fingerprint sensor, wifi, bluetooth, hotspot is not working as well and whenever i reboot the phone, it shows " Find device corrupted".
Now please someone help me about unlocking boatloader without mi account or adding the mi account. thanks
Try to flash by edl mode. Look this link
After this flash successful you can unlock it by mi unlock tool older version, see this video

I think you can't bypass unlock bootloader whitout permission, you should re-flash your system
1. Re-flash your Miui ROM using fastboot method, in miflash select clean all (warning all your data will be lost)
2. Boot to system
3. Add you mi account
Here is the complete to use flashing using miflash
Hi.
I've purchased china xiaomi 12 pro with india rom installed and unlocked bootloader and tried to flash global rom and lock bootloader.
once I turned on my device this massage was appeared: "this miui version can't be installed on this device".
then I tried to unlock bootloader in order to flash china rom but the mi unlock showed a massage for entering an account in "developer options > Mi Unlock Status".
since then phone stuck at fastboot and wont turn of. even when i force it to turn off it restarts in fastboot mode!
how can I unlock bootloader without access to developer options or flash stock rom?
problem has been solved by a auth account owner.

Hi everyone,
I bought a Xiaomi MI9 with 128GB of RAM supposedly brand new with an unlocked bootloader to replace my old Mi 9 with 64GB whose screen was broken after a fall. I flashed the latest version of the official EEA ROM and then, for security reasons, I made the mistake of unlocking the bootloader again with "fastboot oem lock" adb command. Since then, my phone start until the MUI logo is displayed then reboots. I have no access to anything. The only way out is to reflash a new rom in EDL mode but, to do this, I need the patched sdm855 ELF file for the mi9. I've tested the one for K20/Mi 9T which have the same name with no success. Can anyone provide me the holy grail ?
Thanks for your help.
David.
@Magellan13, Did you fix it? And how?
If it were a Samsung there would be a recovery key combo, a download mode key combo and if it were Qualcommm - EDL mode- where you would need the correct files to flash.
In recovery there would be a clear cache which can sometimes make it start.
Do u have access to fastboot by keys?, U may have to.unlock bootloader but to unlock u need have registered device on MIUI account.
I accidentally flash my phone with official rom in miflassh with flash_all_lock.bat option now after i reboot my phone there had a message file storage corrupted your device is unsafe now. I try to again unlock the bootloader but mi account cannot activate my sim. tried with new sim and account but no reasult. Always says couldnt verify your sim card. for this, i cannot turn on the find device and add account with my phone. I tried all searched ways but no reasult. i tried downgrade with rename rom method, try xiamitoolv2 no reasult.
Now pleas can anyone help me to unlock the bootloader with any idea. It will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Can you still boot into fastboot mode?
If so,
1. For newer devices (2015 and higher):
fastboot flashing unlock
2. For older devices (2014 and lower)
fastboot oem unlock
I had the same problem a month ago and finally solved, you should make some changes to a file of the official ROM released by Xiaomi and re-flash it by activating the Qualcomm 9008 mode, in which you can ignore the bootloader lock
