I request for Unlock, after 30 mins got SMS that I'm eligible for unlocking my device.
I tried on the Mi Unlock tool, got stuck at 50%, got the "Couldn't verify device" error.
Downloaded Mi5 Global Developer ROM tried to flash, got "Couldn't Verify Update" error
Downloaded Mi5 China Developer ROM and tried to flash with Mi Flash tool, got "error:FAILED(remote:device is locked, cannot erase)"
PS: My developer options doesn't have OEM UNLOCK option.

Please Help me.
You need to flash the china developer ROM in the edl mode. To get into edl:
Boot into fastboot and connect the phone to your PC. Then (assumimg you have adb and fastboot with drivers set up) type "fastboot oem edl" in the fastboot prompt. If you are in edl, the screen will be completely black and in the device manager, you should see Ports/ Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (or something similar) . If you see it, click refresh in MiFlash and flash the china dev ROM. Then unlock your bootloader.
You can use the Global Beta version (developer version).
I also used that one and had the same problem.
Just wait another day and try again.
There seems to be some syncing between the different Mi sites (mic.om/miui.com/etc) and it not always is as quick as we want to.
Have already read about some people that had to wait a week for this.
For me it worked today, after i got the same error yesterday as you have.
Just try tomorrow and the day after that etc.

You flashed the developer rom via system update or fastboot?
Can you please give me the link to the file, because I'm facing "couldn't verify update" error always

I had the same issue, couldn't Verify Device beyond 50%, but after reading the instructions given at MIUI website, problem solved.
Firstly, install a developer ROM. Then you'll have to boot it up normally, and login to Mi Cloud, using the same user ID that Xiaomi has given the permission to unlock device.
You'll then be able to use the Mi Unlock app to unlock, using the same user ID to login.
Hello all!
I recently bought a second hand Xiaomi MI A2 online however I found a problem.
The previous owner did a factory reset on it but I'm stuck in the initial set up configuration because it asks me for the google account credentials attached to the phone. I texted the previous owner but had no answer.
So I tried to flash the official ROM to bypass the issue but I get an error message from Xiaomi Flash Tool saying "remote: Flash is not allowed in Lock State".
I think this is happening for one of the following reasons:
The previous owner didn't enable USB Debugging (thing I can't do because I'm stuck in the set up configuration)
The bootloader is locked (and I can't unlock it because I don't have the credentials of the attached account)
Does anyone knows how can I solve this problem?
Thank you for your attention

Fastboot oem unlock give me error flashing is not allowed.

Thanks. I've tried the MIFlash Tool and I get Error Flashing Not allowed in Lock State. I've also tried the MI A2 ToolKit and get the same message. Basically anything I try and do states device is locked or unable to run in Lock State.
Boot Loader is currently locked and I cannot access developer mode to enable OEM unlocking. Question I have is :
- Can I use EDL Cable to work around this or do EDL cables not longer work with Newer Xiaomi phones?
- If EDL cable doesn't work, is the tespoint method my only option.
thanks in advance

I would try a wipe from the recovery but if that doesnt work then just test point the phone. It isnt that hard, I had to do it myself today because of a soft brick. You just need a T3 screwdriver really. Take out the 2 bottom screws. Take a razor and slide it under the corner of the display and lift it enough the get a credit card in there. Then just work around and you should be able to get the screen off. Take the small metal plate off just above the battery and disconnect the battery and the connector on the right. There will be the test points, short them out, connect the phone to the pc(you can stop shorting out the points when it gets detected) and you have like 10-15secs to start flashing the phone in miflash(obviously you need to have the drivers already set up).
I have same problem with xiaomi mi a2 which had bootloop. Was not able to start device at all so no oem unloco no developer options and no usb debug. It was possible only adb sideload and fastboot. Adb sideload did nothing. I was trying to flash with adb sideload but it stops at 47% with message 1.00 x. Did try several roms with same results. Then i tried fastboot options. Falied to unlock not allowed. Itsl was impossible to get even into phone to activate developer options so i can activate oem unlock and the rest. I tried edl mode which did flash but then i got error message in bootloader it failed to mount system etc. Then i tried mi x6 rom to convert phone to another which doesnt have usual recovery mode but a stripped oem recovery mode. Now when u go back to mi a2 rom its bricked so there is no option of adb at all now. I tried to use mi x6 mi assistant option but app wont recognize usb connection it shows try normal mode then switch. When activating mi assistant on phone it does recognize rom version from recovefy flash in mi assistant app but when it downloads update rom version it cant continue. With pixel you can do anything with adb and it is so easy but xiaomi sucks big time. You cant do anything. Fastboot flashing unlock critical and fastboot oem unlock gets error failed. Flashing not allowed. U tried diferent cables but no luck. So now what? Thats why i hate adb. On samsung odin you can do impossible possible. Even with sp tools on mtk. Even boxes works flawlessly but xiaomi system is just thr worse. It doesnt matter if you get soemthing lost there is always a solution to other phones.
After having device sit as a paper weight for a few months, i broke down and ordered a phone repair kit. Opened device up and flashed via test point method. Worked Flawless. Time to enable OEM unlock so i don't have to open it up again. Thanks to community for all the help.
Use cmd
- go to fastboot then "fastboot oem unlock"
- go to fastboot again "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
Flash with mi flash
Done
Just stumbled upon this and while may be 18 months too late, here's the step by step process to flash ROM on MI A2 that's giving error "Flash is not allowed in Lock State":
1) switch off device
2) enter fastbood mode (press hold power+vol down few seconds)
3) connect device with laptop
4) install and open adb folder on laptop (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
5) within adb folder -- shift + right click = open powershell here
6) fastboot flashing unlock_critical
7) step #6 may be pointless if phone is bricked but do it anyway
8) fastboot oem edl
9) find and download latest stock rom for your device (FASTBOOT version). It'll be .tgz file
10) extract the image folder from within (would be the same name as .tgz file)
11) open miflash (coudln't find link but look it up, it's easy)
12 select the image folder you extracted in step #10
13) click refresh. device name appear means it's recognized
14) from bottom of mi flash tool select whatever you want. I do "clean all"
15) flash (top right mi flash tool)

you need to open phone with screwdriver & do the test point ..search for video on YouTube...then EDL deepflash state you can use miflash to put back OFFICIAL only rom to device.
I was using my mi a2 and it randomly freezed, then i restarted using power button, but he didn't turned on, now it is just black screen and i can't get into bootloader mode or turn the phone on.
Bootloader was locked, never tried to unlock.
I think it got stuck on EDL mode because it shows up 'qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008' on device manager on windows.
Already tried to use mi flash tool to flash the last ROM, it recognize the phone but fails every time.
Neither adb or fastboot recognizes the phone.
Some errors that i had using the tool:
Failed to open the SDCC Device slot 0 partition 0 (it shows up only on version 2019.11.15.0)
Cannot receive hello packet (when i get this error, i hold the power button for a few seconds then i try again only to get the error below)
Error when flashing storsec.mbn
Can someone help me?
UPDATE
I downloaded mi flash tool 2016.08.30.0 and i can successfuly flash the rom, but still got black screen with no response.
I ve little same issue. need help too.
I have Mi A2 runnig on android8.1
but it didnt update 9.0

A year ago i had the same issue kinda. The only thing that worked for me was flashing mi 6x stock rom and after some trial an error it flashed and it fixed. The only problem is i have a mi 6x forever. Basically download mi 6x stock rom. Try that mi flash tool and keep hard rebooting and click flash button right after it vibrates. If lucky sometime will work and flash. If nothing try older versions of mi flash tool. Good luck.
all of you have the same problem ... you bootloop into edl mode because you have ARB4 triggered ..that means the only stock you can flash in miflash is ARB4 rom ( latest most up to date )
you also need patched programmer file since flashing ARB4 requires miui account
the fix to this problem is documented everywhere and explained lots of times ...just read ..follow this guide and one-click tool to unbrick
next time read ......a little ..

Hello everyone
My brother's Mi A2 is bricked for no reason. I tried to solve this problem and searched a lot but didn't manage to solve it. I hope you can help.
* before telling my story here is some stuff to know:
- The phone was running official firmware and bootloader is locked, I've never played with it's software before.
- Oem unlocking option isn't turned on.
- The phone doesn't go to recovery mode, only fastboot or regular boot.
- I used EDL mode in every flashing attempt.
- I don't remember that there is a mi account assigned to the device.
* Here is what happened:
- The phone suddenly shut down during a call and never passed the AndroidOne logo after that.
- Tried EDL mode and miflash to flash the latest firmware. Flashing completed successfully but the phone still stuck on the androidone logo.
- Did it again and again but the result was constant.
- Tried flashing older firmware "Oreo 8.1" but during flashing system.img the process stopped with an error. (I don't remeber what the error was).
- I tried to turn on the phone but after showing AndroidOne logo This message appeared:
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot.
Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH"
and the device shuts down in a minute.
Hint: Sometimes when I try to turn one the phone the above message appears after androidone logo and sometimes the device just keep showing the logo.
- Trying to flash any firmware version by using Miflash Beta gives an error message "Can not found programmer file" immediately. when I try again it gives: "can't read from port COM4", Changing the port gives the same error with different port number.
-When I use any other version of "Portable miflash", The flashing process starts normally but fails when trying to flash "dsp.img", giving an error of "writing time out".
- I tried reinstalling all drivers needed with no change at all.
I hope that you guys can help me solving this problem.
Thank you so much!

Bootloader is locked, so EDL mode was the only way. But now I get error writing timed out while flashing any firmware version.

i have tried :
flashing original CN rom: erase is not allowed in lock state
unlocking: please add your account in miui settings
fastboot oem edl: error invalid parameter
pls advice
Looks like yor device got locked. It happened to me once. I somehow unlocked it with some unlock program. Try to google something like "xiaomi edl unlock tool" maybe you find it. I also opened my device and tried to force edl mode by short circuit two dedicated pins for that but it did not worked. I did found some tool and unlocked it in few seconds and my phone was locked for several days. You can also try to find someone with xiaomu authorized account and ask for help, they also should be able to unlock your device if that is the problem.

Just unlock the bootloader back using Mi Unlock on Fastboot using the same Mi account just like the first time you unlock the bootloader. If still cannot, you will need to flash in EDL Mode.
back on track, Temi GSM flashed it for me, you can find him on facebook.
44 $ without opening the phone.
