Hi Android Enthusiastic's
I was totally impressed by Redmi k20 pro specs and price and I had brought it from China next day it was released in Chinese market, I had to deal with slot of Chinese bloatware and I was finally waiting for official global ROM to released and I unlocked bootloader and flashed global ROM and when I try to relock the bootloader it gets stuck in recovery mode
And works fine with unlocked bootloader
And later I came to know that Xiaomi had actually did this on purpose that no should do like this
I ask all you is there any workaround for this that I can have official global rom and locked Bootloader
Because unlocked bootloader can lead to hacking and loss of sensitive information and potential for virus attack
Since you have the chinese variant if the phone locking it's bootloader will limit the phone to ONLY being able to boot the Chinese ROM or one of these fake global ShopROMs which nobody should use (in my opinion).
I don't think it possible to flash the official global ROM and lock the bootloader. Maybe some day the Pro's will be able to convert a Redmi K20pro to a Mi 9T Pro with baseband and bootlock support but at the time of writing this is not possible.
Until then you have to choose between Chinese ROM with locked bootloader or any other ROM with unlocked one. I use Xiaomi.eu ROM with unlocked Bootloader and deem the data encryption safe enough.
A thief could boot TWRP, format data and have my phone but that is a risk I can take. In that case I might even still be able to lock the phone with my mi account if the thief used MIUI
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

Hi all !
I have recently purchased this phone from Orange Romania (Europe) service provider so I think the phone is SIM locked on Orange's only signal. Is it safe to switch from 12.0.4.0.RKSEUOR to 12.5.1.0.RKSEUXM ? The 12.5 OTA did not came for me and I would like to receive the updates as other EU devices and not be stuck with provider's version of updates.
it's safe. download and manual install full 12.5 firmware
Thank you. Is there pc app that i could use to backup the stock rom? In case I need to restore back to RKSEUOR if I need to use the warranty? I have tried but I can't find anywhere that particular fastboot rom to download.
flash this

If I've switched ftom RKSEUOR to RKSEUXM, can I safely lock the bootloader using oem lock command or will it brick and not able to boot or unlock it again?
i think is safe relock bootloader, but i'm not 100% sure. i suggest u search some detailed guides on web. the firmware change in your case is not a problem. maybe you can encounter other problems if u don't will make the correct relock procedure
I believe, as a security feature, each time the bootloader is locked or unlocked the user data is wiped.
I have been running my device on the EU ROM after switching from Vodafone with the boot loader unlocked with no issues. Still get OTA updates and all security and banking apps run no problem.
I thinks customer Rom are safe, only if developer are good.
greetings everyone, is it possible to change the rom?
Possible, provided you unlock the bootloader.
Unlock bootloader

Then use Miflash for a stock rom.

If you have a Chinese model, do not re-lock the bootloader (brick).

Yep, this is done with Miflash, be careful " flash and lock "box is checked by default (see the tutorial).
With a stock rom you will need to root and use Magisk modules for the phone to be certified (banking apps, Netflix, payment).
The best is to use a Xiaomi Eu rom where everything works without root and with the unlocked bootloader.
Mi unlock/Miflash/Xiaomi Eu rom will erase your data.
its fine with me to use EU rom, thanks
Do note the devices are not completely the same; Poco users who flashed the Xiaomi.eu rom which is based on the K60 rom are unable to make calls unless they flash the global modem.
