Executive summary: If you flash China Developer ROM 6.1.14 or newer, your bootloader will be locked and the root access gone.
Before you upgrade to China Developer ROM 6.1.14 or any later version, make sure you understand the implications. Turns out Xiaomi has decided to lock the bootloader and to unlock it, you'll not only need to wipe your data but file an application with them and wait for their permission. So far, the application is in Chinese only:

More details on en.miui.com in this thread:
Unlocking tool supported devices:
Redmi Note 3, Mi 4c, Mi Note Pro
Note: Forum user groups higher than Diamond member (including Diamond member), and all special teams have been added to unlocking bootloader whitelist. Your unlocking applications will be approved faster than other users.
Unlocking Bootloader Procedure:
1. Download zip file (recovery file) of China developer ROM for your device, put it into phone storage. Go to Updater app, press the three dot on upper right corner, and select 'Choose update package'. Choose the zip file you just put in phone storage. The update will wipe all user data, please make backup beforehand.
2. Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device
3. Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume - button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
4. Log into the unlocking tool on PC with the same Mi account. Connect the device with the PC using USB cable
5. Press 'Unlock'. The unlocking process will complete in about 10 seconds
After unlocking bootloader, users will be able to flash fastboot ROMs and custom ROMs. The unlocked device will be marked in the official service end. Users could lock bootloader again by flashing official MIUI ROMs. (This will need to use fastboot oem lock. Please note to flash offcial MIUI ROMs, otherwise your system won't be able to start)
Notes:
1. After getting unlocking permission for a Mi account, users can unlock the verified device immediately. One Mi account could only unlock one device within 30 days
2. Users could require for unlocking permission in this site: http://www.miui.com/unlock/
3. If a prompt says that the current account is not logged into a connected device. Please log in with this account on the device that needs to be unlocked
4. If your device is encrypted, unlocking bootloader will wipe all user data. Please perform a backup beforehand
Unlocking Tool Download:
(Only Chinese supported for now. We're still working on the English version, please stay tuned.)

In other news, the root access is also gone by default and will need to be re-enabled with an online check every time you flash a ROM via recovery or fastboot (non-OTA). Details here.
Comment: It all seems a bit ridiculous., especially the online application part.
Please help and share :

Together we can change that. If unlock bootloader was easy and possible for everyone then problem wasn't exist.
What about anything from xiaomi.eu will that lock the bootloader if I flash an update through twrp?

I stayed with version 5.12.31 thus far so I don't know first-hand but according to them, no.
Just avoid the official firmware, including doing anything the Updater app asks you to. I think the app cannot be removed once installed but I posted here how to remove the notification.
Found this on french MIUI works great no locked bootloader.

It's totally ridiculous and the unlocking procedure is taking people a lot of time to get an answer. Very frustrating.

For an even bigger snafu, many people ended up with a boot loop after the first OTA update that also locked the bootloader, and although more than two weeks have passed there's still no way to recover from it as of yet.
This might help those with brick. No it won't ignore me.
I have received Mi Note Pro 64G few days ago
My phone is running Chinese stock rom 7.1.5 without root. I tried to install TWRP but unsuccessful.
I read some Miui forum that update rom to dev rom 6.1.28 would have pre-root but when I update to 6.1.28 via Mi-PCSuite, I still not able to install TWRP
So I read XDA forum that Mi Note Pro have to register to get unlocking bootloader code, but I can not complete the form to get unlock code
Please someone here can help me something to install a proper English rom from en.miui with google service as normal Android phone??
Thank you
Update: I managed to access the form of unlocking code request
Hope Xiaomi will process soon
I got my Mi Note Pro granted open, but i found out is was never locked. I am on Cyanogenmod at the moment. The MIUI thing was too IPhone for me (coming from an iPhone)

Its work guys, just try ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-pro/help/how-to-unlock-mi-note-pro-100-t3336677
all the new mi note pro now comes with locked bootloader. one has to apply for unlock code at en.miui.com/unlock . also the funny part is that it asks for a "reason" for unlocking and if you don't give a legit one, they might reject your request. once rejected, you will have to wait 90 days for the next request. totally ridiculous but unavoidable for note pro owners.
Xiaomi tool for flashing your Xiaomi/Redmi phones:
https://miflashpro.com/
It's better than the standard MiFlash. Because you can flash the phone even without unlocked bootloader or if you forgot PIN/fingerprint/pattern in order to reset. Also it can automatically download the firmware for you. However, it does not delete your Mi account data. You need to login with your Mi account in order to use the tool with all options.
In case you experience any problems with latest version under Windows 8 or 8.1, first install MiFlashPro oldest version and then update to new version.

No, it will not unlock your bootloader.
It doesn't recognize my phone redmi 9C
I want to flash it
My friend flashed Indonesian fastboot Rom in indian RN10 Pro Max and locked the Bootloader, now he is trying to add acount and device to unlock it again but if fails everytime.
An error shows "Couldn't add. Device basic data verification failed"
Please see the attached screenshot.
Do you have any clue how to solve the issue?
you were should use only format data not all & relock.
There is three .bat orders:
one with erasing user data.
one with keep user data.
one with format and relock.
In your case you have to unlock it again.
Can't unlock, can't add account and device. Always shows the error mentioned in the post.
I had to abandon my previous xiaomi phone just for this reason. Accidentally locked the bootloader and couldn't unlock it ever. "The find device storage corrupted, your device is unsafe now".
Couldn't add miui account.

You did the same? I mean flashed another region's rom and locked bootloader?
My friend told me that he did the same in his Redmi Note 8 and then re-unlocked and flashed stock regions's rom, it was fine for redmi 8 so he did this in RN10 Pro too.

I actually did worse. I was on non-miui Rom then flashed the Fastboot without unticking the lock option. Guess what though the sensors of my MI5 is all okay nothing works due to wrong persist file.

Could you please share how to flash? since bootloader is locked cant flash anything.
Maybe you did not get my point, we are stuck in another region's ROM with locked bootloader.
Try find Xiaomi repair support center and tell them to help you flash official Indian ROM for you.
You can boot into the system, and the device said it's locked and secure, so it's not hard brick. Should be fine for them to help out, if the warranty is covered under the policy.
Be prepared for data loss, so you need to backup what you want to keep.
Don't tell them you flash a wrong region ROM. Just say the phone seems a bit strange, so want them to help clean flash and update official latest ROM.

You can try flashing stock with mi flash tool by rebooting to bootloader. Recovery ROM might work even with locked bootloader

I just bough a Redmi 11T Pro and I'm new in the Redmi environment. I would like to have the Qualcomm diagnostic ports. After trying dialling some specific codes, I find that the best solution was a adb command requiring root access.
To root I find out that I had to unlock the bootloader. From some website that would make impossible to install Miui updates from Xiaomi. But according to some website it would be possible to manually install these updates after downloading them with TWRP (it is possible to do it with older Redmi phones.
Do you agree that it would be possible on the 11T Pro (as it as very new phone)?
Maybe somebody knows a mean to have the qualcomm diag ports without rooting.
Thanks.
Why do you need the qualcomm diagnostic ports? As per previous Android/MIUI setup i think its still the same way to update if using custom recovery/magisk

Hi, i'm very new doing this kind of stuff. I need help to figure out if i can unlock the bootloader of the redmi note 10s at version 13 of miui without the mi unlock tool, because I run linux at my personal computer. I've been trying to unlock with fastboot, but isn't working for me.
