You can't flash anything if the bootloader is locked,you will need to take the phone to service centre so they can flash stock rom via EDL mode (you cannot do this since it requires special authorization login in miflash tool)

BRICKED - Changing Mi 5X ROM to Mi A1 Via EDL

Hello everyone, just get frustrated right now my brand new 5X Half-Bricked after trying to flash stock fastboot firmware of the A1 through EDL with mi flash. just over excited of this devices, as i'm not a new one on this stuff and things, so that i ignoring some post said that the mi A1 rom won't run/boot compatible with 5X. (some interesting post right here about 3 Variants Hacked Bootloader http://en.miui.com/thread-840402-1-1.html)
I put whole things needed togather (fastboot firmware of A1, and Mi5X, also Twrp and some of unbrick zip from the thread above) so i was thinking when everythings gone crazy and bad i just need to reverting back to stock fastboot firmware of MI5X and everything works fine.
i do backup my QCN file so the worst thing i losted the imei and baseband i just need to restore that backup. Then i start the stupid things with proud.
flashing the Mi A1 sucessfully without any error on mi-flash then power it on boom, as i predicted it won't be as easier and simple as that step. some error text appeared on my screen some related to bootloader things, okay i just go into fastboot and unlocking with type "fastboot oem unlock" done with success and thats also said in terminal. okay then i rebooted (no panic at all), so the warning text still, then appeared your system has been destroyed, okay than i put the mi A1 recovery and flashing that through the fastboot, its said error no such partitions "recovery"??? (bit panic here) but trying to type "fastboot boot tissot.img" (tissot the codename of A1) its boot and send me into recovery, flashing some A1 rom for 5X from xda still won't boot at all (start panic here ).
so everything i try here flashing stock miui also won;t even boot and see the homescreen. I give up and OK i just need to flash the stock 5X through EDL, rebooting to edl and then flashing the stock 5X and success flashing done without any error, so i rebooted but its only stuck at MI logo then restart itself (really PANIC), so i get into recovery (stock MIUI) and mybe wiping whole data and cache will help, but there's no changes still restart/rebooting itself , okay i need to flash again this time i downloding Develover versions, and put the devices into edl through test point this time (as now the bootloader are relocked after flashing the stock one).
after flasing done the device still won't even boot at all just stuck at MI logo, now i really need help anyone any advices will really help, thanks

I think you should not unlock the bootloader using the command fast boot OEM unlock,you should go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/ here and download the app to unlock it, and when you flash a new rom which is not miui,you must keep it unlock,do not fastboot OEM lock,that will cause it can not go into system and stuck in logo

Nope, that's the basic things and i really know how it works, As for now i''ve no ways to go / reach the homescreen at all, so i can't put my mi account in setting and linked the device into my acccount, its useless using the miunlock tools. And i can only do that commands right after i converted mine to A1 firmwares.
hi, finally, i know what problem you met, because i have met the same problem, the solution is ,you go to the fastboot ,first unlock the devices, then fastboot reboot,then you find you go to the system, then you go back to fastboot,and last ,you need to use the miflash to flash the rom,and it should work fine now,it seem when you are locked,the miflash can not really work
Last news, damn lucky bastard i'am got replaced units, lets see does we'll have some aosp goodies soon..

Use the mi unlock tool ,you can only unlock the phone when you are in fastboot mode,,turn off the phone,press the power and volume down bottom simultaneously,and you will be in fastboot mode

Messed up via oem lock command - can't access recovery - any help appreciated!

Hi all,
A few days ago I installed a custom ROM, which broke my android pay. I tried to re-lock the bootloader to fix this via the fastboot oem lock command, and i'm now stuck in a bootloop.
I can get the phone to boot into fastboot mode, and it shows up as such when checking via command prompt. I also have a backup of the phone I made a few days ago. I've tried to unlock the phone using the fastboot oem unlock command, but get the following error:
FAILED (remote: Token verification failed, reboot the device)
finished. total time: 0.008s
I bought the phone second hand with an unlocked bootloader, if that makes a difference? I've set up a new Mi account and applied for an unlock code.
Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed? Thanks in advance!
Stupid thing to think relocking your bootloader would fix android pay while still on that custom rom, whe have hacks for that you know >> magisk14/15.2
Do you still have twrp? also try to flash stock images from xiaomi themselves, here.
that should at least get you booting again.
Hi,
Thanks for replying, i'll download the global stable version. Is it a case of sideloading this once complete? I still have TWRP installed if it makes a difference, I just can't reach it :/
Yes I do feel pretty stupid, and thanks for the link to magisk - hadn't heard of it until now but i'll definitely be using when/if I get my Mi back up and running. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader other than the Mi Unlock app?
Thanks!
EDIT: Okay, so i tried flashing via the MiFlash tool and got the following error:
FAILED: Remote device is locked. Cannot erase.
Any idea of where to go from here?
So, I fixed it! In the off chance anyone is as unlucky/stupid/trigger happy as me, and finds themselves in teh same situation, here's the solution:
If you can't get it into EDL mode because you can't switch it off (mine kept rebooting), follow this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED96PJ-qYMM
It's in a foreign language but is clear enough - take the back off, unscrew the cover and short the pins he shows you after disconnecting the battery, then plug into your computer.
Your phone will pop up as a Qualcommdevice under the ports section of Device Manager. You should then be able to flash via MiFlash as per usual.
Phew, hairy there but sorted in the end. I'll now wait for the unlock code from Xiaomi, and do a bit more reading in future!
A much easier way to solve this problem
You don't have to follow any long tutorial. Nor do you have to open your phone up. Just power it into fastboot mode, download the mi unlock tool that you used the first time to unlock your bootloader and unlock your device once again. Then you can use miflash to flash the fastboot rom on your device and it won't throw up any errors. Once that's done, just reflash the custom recovery. Install the custom rom, use magisk for root and you're good to go. Safety net won't be tripped and android pay will still work. No need to rip your phone apart to fix it.

Please Help_After OTA Update Xiaomi Mi A2 died

On Saturday appeared an OTA update to do on my mi A2 but after installed and restarting it died. It does not enter recovery mode and the screen is always on with android one bootscreen logo.
PS: I never flash the phone and i never change anyting in the system of the phone.
The only response that i have in the phone is enter in it Fastboot menu. I read some threads and untill now i cant fix my phone.
I will try to explain what i do:
I've tried using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585.
I try option 3 (Unbrick/Revert to Stock/Force update and the program tell me to unlock the bootloader.
When i tried to unlock bootloader by option 1 and then 1, 2 and 3 ( Unlock flashing critical, unlock OEM , unlock flashing ) the programs says: Failed Unlock is not allowed.
Then i try the response 9 to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/impossible-flashing-xiaomi-mi-a2-t3837565 to try unlocked the bootloader
But i have the same response ( Flashing Unlock is not allowed )
I read and i try but i cant unbrick my phone, someone can help?? Thanks
We are in the same boat buddy, the same thing happened to the phone of my wife.
It *sounds* like the update failed, and normally that would mean it would switch the slot back to the one that was working and boot that.
But you've tried a bunch of options from some tool, I've no idea what it did, as the tool doesn't tell you what commands it's doing.
I'd suggest to go to fastboot and see if you can tell which slot is active, then switch it to the other slot, then do fastboot reboot and cross your fingers
I have the same problem (for other reasons, but exactly the same problem). You can also try "fastboot oem edl", but it did not work for me, so I suppose you have little chance for it to work.
I have been searching and it looks like there are some "deep flash cables" that can make the phone enter edl mode to flash it using mi flash tool. Maybe these could work for us. There is apparently other way to enter edl mode, but it requires opening the phone (that I do not want to do) to short two test points.
I cant enter revorymode only fastboot mode. But when in fastbootmode my connected pc cant even find the phone. Im going to return the phone.
I have the same problem, I have this edl cable but so far no luck.
Do not realy k Ow how to use.
Are you sure it was the OTA update that bricked your phone? That Treble system isn't just there for the kicks, its there to prevent serious issues like these.
I'm stucked on fastboot, I don't want to open my phone. Could anyone help us? I already tried a lot of things, my computer doesn't recognize my mobile when is on fastboot mode. I already tried to install a lot of drivers or try to use differents adbs.

Bricked CC9 from anti-rollback. Help with EDL flashing

I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.
Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !
Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

What kind of firmware are you trying to flash trough MiFlash ? recovery.zip or fastboot ? Can you take screenshots so people can know what is your issue ? Without screenshot no one will help you here !
Cheers

I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.
Sorry for bad english

Few days ago my phone was totally dead, even charging not working. You need to flash firmware with edl authorized account in edl 9008 mode, firehose programator require verification before write ?

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.
This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.
If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9
Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Download the fastboot firmware version and execute flash all. (not flash and lock).
I assume you have fastboot access.
