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
Cool thing! Does it also work for hard bricked devices?

Hi
I was trying to unlock my Asus Zenfone go z00vd/zc500tg
I have successfully installed the driver for the device and
fastboot devices
Command working fine it shows the device number I think.
But when I try following command
fastboot oem unlock
It shows the error
Remote: unlock is not allowed
I have enabled the developer mode , but there is no oem unlock option,
I want to root my device.
Please suggest me something for unlocking..
Contact the oem to see if it can even be un locked first. Not all Android devices have unlockable boooaders.

Contact Asus and see if the device has a bootloader that can be unlocked.

any solution?
Help needed i have the same problem
You do not have to contact ASUS. To unlock the bootloader, you must downgrade your firmware to version 36 where the unlocking option is available. Just follow this tutorial. You are probably using v62 now.
so i unlocked my bootloader a few months ago when i received my k20 pro 8/128 variant, i believe it was a chinese edition but when received it had a mi9t pro rom installed miui..
i had to wait a few days to unlock the bootloader and flashed pixel exp,
last night i tried reflashing the global official boot img via xioami flash and ended up relocking bootloader.
now i have the stock recovery and a message saying miui cant run on this phone,
i have tried unlocking bootloader via miui unlock but it states my phone is not bound to this account which when checked online its is linked to the account...
Are my only options opening the phone up and sorted out EDL recovery ,
Thanks
If it was locked with Global rom, then it was a global varient, not Chinese.
anyways i am now unable to flash using miflash as bootloader is locked

Yeah I think you need to EDL flash sadly, you can take the phone to a repair shop to only open up the phone so you don't mess it yourself, after that it's pretty straight forward.
any companies can you recommend for edl flash?

Hi,
I have a question regarding the anti rollback feature. If anti rollback triggers while the bootloader is unlocked, will I be able to access fastboot or recovery (twrp), or will I have to go into edl via the test points?

After unlock bootloader, you can use Twrp or Fastboot easily.
There is no anti rollback for our phone.

So, both Mi 9T Pro and K20 Pro have no ARB?
Still, even if so, it might get introduced, so I wanted to know if I unlocked the bootloader, would I be safe from having to use test points to enter EDL in case it got triggered.

You can't flash roms yourself in edl mode. You will need to find someone with authorized account.

I think the most important acronym in the firmware. EU. Flashing the RKBEUXM should therefore not be a problem. Even without the bootloader unlock. OR only means that provider-specific functions are built in. If you don't know them or are unimportant, the XM works just as well.

If you had to unlock the bootloader to flash the XM, I wouldn't relock again. That would surely lead to a brick.

Hello! Can you tell me what method you used to do it? I have a Mi 11 lite 5G, the ROM that came from the factory was a Vodafone EU and I changed it for a Global EU ROM, specifically this one: renoir_eea_global_images_V12.0.8.0.RKIEUXM, but in the process with My Flash Tool the bootloader had to be open, now I have this ROM working perfectly, but I want to close the bootloader to use Google Pay etc. So I am very interested in your method to achieve it.

Don't relock your bootloader with EU rom. Your chinese phone will be bricked.
