[Q & A] help Xiaomi Mi 8 won't boot

Firstly I want to thank every one here
I want to clarify for the first that the phone was already unlocked when I bought it. All go well until the day of doing this stupidity
I put the version 8.9.20 it got stuck (this miui version can't be installed on this device __1st attachment) but when I wanted to return to 10.0.20 with fastboot it tells me locked phone I managed to update to 8.10.25 with another tool but I was still stuck with this screen (1st attachment)
So I thought I need to unlock it I launch the unlocking tool he announces this message (current account is not bound to this device __2nd attachment)
Conclusion phone that has not done yet a month with totally unusable I was so happy with this phone that I could not return to iPhone.
Please find me a solution dear friends
My mi account id is 144253908
My Device is Xiaomi Mi 8 Global version bought from Gearbest

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? Flashing different rom, like you had installed on your phone (global, xiaomi.eu) need unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. Or, if you had opened bootloader, and you flashed with Mitool, then you should unmark befor flashing the flash and lock option, cos ist closing your bootloader and bricking your device. Also have the last time xiaomi devices antirollback. For more info have a look in forum!Its already thread about this!

Can i resolve this problem with edl xiaomi cable ?

Global ROM with locked Bootloader on Chinese Varient k20 pro

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

Question Redmi Note 10 5G Global Europe version switch

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.

Question Does the Blank Flash bypass locked bootloader

Hi everyone, I ask this question here because
I got a China retail version Razr 40 Ultra, XT2321-2, which is actually with same CPU as X30pro/Edge 30 Ultra
My OEM Unlocking is toggleable, but the moto bootloader site said 'Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking'
The China retail rom, believe me, is not the same level as its global peer. Let's say the Nearby Sharing is not available because Google services are not by default. More worse is too many tricky Chinese apps keep asking you if they can read your Contacts...
So I want to convert my Razr 40 Ultra to global version, e.g. reteu
Since the bootloader cannot be unlocked, I am thinking if the blank flash way can bypass it, and flash a bootloader from global version to overwrite the factory shipped one? Any comments or suggestion will be appreciated. I know there is risk, and I will take it for 'FREEDOM'
