Hello,
I am new to Xiami and want to flash the GLOBAL EU ROM to get rid of my french SFR ROM (also GLOBAL) that is outdated. I have read a lot of posts but I am not 100% sure that I can do that (only 95%!). As far as I understand:
- I have to unlock the bootloader,
- Then flash the EU ROM with Mi flash tool,
- Then re-lock the bootloader: this is where I am not sure. Some posts say that I can re-lock it because both ROMs are official and 'GLOBAL"; other posts say that ROMs need to have exactly the same reference to avoid bricking the phone.
To my mind, I feel logical to be able to re-lock the bootlader as soon as both ROMs are official and "GLOBAL". Could you please help me, confirming or not that I can re-lock the bootloader?
Cheers.
good and you can relock your bootloader with mi flash. i do it with a orange rom
Never relock bootloader when you're on any ROM that the device didn't ship with. It will hard brick your device.

OK: if it worked with Orange, it should work with SFR !
How did you re-lock bootloader: with Mi-Flash option "clean and lock" or with fastboot command? If so, which one?
Cheers

I had a UK MI11 with the Vodafone branded firmware, and I flashed the global unbranded version and locked the bootloader afterwards with no problems at all, I just relocked the bootloader with a fastboot command and the phone was fine ?

False ! the same region can relock the bootloader. If your rom is EUOR, EUVF and flash a EUXM, you can relock it

There's no way to flash the china dev rom instead of the global rom if you have the bootloader locked?
Tried in MIflash, but it displayed error, phone is locked.

Worked, but waiting to unlock the bootloader for flashing the xiaomi eu rom. There's no other method to unlock the phone instead of waiting for an sms from xiaomi?

you can flash the xiaomi.eu rom even with a locked bootloader. you just cannot root it

can i flash latest stable rom via fastboot and set relock ? I read a lot about bricked devices during locking again
If you're device it's a china version china rom with locked bootloader if it's a global version device global rom with locked bootloader.
China version->China rom locked bootloader ok!
Global version->Global rom locked bootloader ok! /Unlocked bootloader=ok!
China version->Global rom locked bootloader =brick! / Unlocked bootloader=ok!
Global version->China rom locked bootloader=brick!

can uh tell how to unlock bootloader MI 8 M1803e1a model..????
i bought a mi 9 lite and it came with the russian rom.
I wanted to unlock the bootloader and install the official globlal ROM with mi flash. can i lock the bootloader again with me flash when i install an official global rom?
or
is there a guide to install a global rom without unlocking the bootloader? and without using tools?
You need to first unlock your bootloader in order to fastboot flash the global rom (using MiFlash). After that in the MiFlash tool there is an option to "Flash all and lock" which will lock your bootloader again. Unfortunately there is not a way of doing it to my knowledge without unlocking your bootloader.
Here's the official guide here: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Never, ever re-lock your bootloader as this will result in a hard brick that can only be resolved with EDL/authorized account!

Not to my knowledge. I have done it before with my device. Sure if you want to use custom roms/recoveries you will need to unlock your bootloader again which you can do if you are using an authorised account. However, if you are really worried about this happening, you might as well just keep your bootloader unlocked.
I bought a mi cc9 lite that came with a russian rom.
Before i could unlock my device, i was able to flash a global rom with a non official tool which name i can't remember.
Global rom was the only one i was able to flash. So yes it's possible.
ok
On which ROM and Device you CAN and CAN'T Lock Bootloader!

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.
Actually l unlocked Mi6x bootloader but didnt installed/flashed anything. I later learnt about ARB so I decided to just relock it and don't want to mess with it it has China ROM and hardware is also Chinese. How to re-lock it?
