Hey guys, I’ve purchased a k20 pro 6/128 variant here in Trinidad and Tobago from Let’s Talk phone company which imports phones and sell it here in Trinidad and Tobago. No one else sells the device here in my country.
When I opened my phone and started using it, I saw that it was the fake global rom which was installed on it. So I came onto here to try to flash the china firmware on it, which I did. After flashing the firmware on it, i installed twrp and wiped everything, data + cache + Dalvik Cache + System, then I flashed the EU firmware on it. After successfully flashing it I flashed magisk and some modules on it, and the phone worked GREAT! Then one day while using it the phone just shut down just like that and never booted back up. It stayed on the boot screen and did nothing!
So I tried reflashing the Chinese firmware with miflash, but this time I Accidentally RELOCKED bootloader, but when I first purchased the phone, the bootloader was already UNLOCKED. Miflash successfully flashed the chinese firmware v10.3.8.0 and the phone booted. I was RELIEVED! But after using it for a while, the phone started freezing! And their was a problem with the front camera! Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".
And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".
So I went and request to unlock the bootloader and waited 168 hours, and in that 168 hours I left the phone untouched because it kept crashing and never boot back up unless if I go into recovery and wipe data. So I left the phone untouched for a whole week! Yesterday the waiting period came to an end and FINALLY I unlocked the bootloader! When I opened back up miflash I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN!!!! :’( Now Mi unlock is saying that I need to wait 30 DAYS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER BEFORE I CAN TRY TO FIX MY PHONE AGAIN! Please help me. Is there any way to flash the firmware on a locked bootloader? i dont care which firmware it is, once my phone is working again.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
Only solution is to enter to edl mode by test point but its too risky or to get a mi account with edl authorization, wait till the end of 30 days and dont make the same error for 3 time.

I forgot to mention, after using miflash the last time, i flashed the indian global firmware on it using Miflash. The phone wont boot up past the recovery mode. It says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" in red. Tried wiping data but same results.
You have to unlock the bootloader and it will work again

guess i'll have to wait a whole month then before i can use the phone. Thanks anyway
1.Go to fastboot. try flash latest chineese fastbootrom.
doesnt work?
Then you only have choice for EDL mode flash.
But edl mode requires authentification anyway which in most case you do not own..
we need something solid edl flash method.. this is common&biggest xiaomi problem

Here are the list of things i've tried thus far:
1- Tried flashing china fastboot rom 10.3.8.0 with Miflash. No luck.
2- Tried unlocking bootloader with Mi unlock. Have to wait the 30 day period.
3- Tried unlocking bootloader with fastboot commands. Didn't work.
4- Tried flashing LR twrp and unofficial twrp, No luck as well.
I've sent an Email to [email protected] couple hours ago. Waiting to hear from them.
As for edl mode, i've no idea what it is or how to even start. If someone can guide me as to what to do, i'll try it. Appreciate all the feedback and help from y'all

I dont know how you can flash indian rom with locked bootloader.
Now there is only one method for you, open the back cover of the fone, do test point method, flash china fastboot firmware and unlock again.

EDL mode will not work untill you have a EDL Authorized account
I had already tried and it was a bad idea to open the back cover just stick with unlocking bootloader
EDL test point will not work because xaiomi made because no body should buy Chinese Varient phone and flash global rom ,and I don't understand exactly why xaiomi did this with EDL and bootloader
Opened up the back of my phone, found the edl mode test point, miflash recognizes the device and begins flashing then i get this error "cannot receive hello packet"

Ok, when I flash my mi5, it is the same. You only need to reboot the device into edl and try to flash again.

i said to you,i had faced the same issue,only unlocking the bootloader will help you
or you can try chinese mi pc suite,with english translator but you have to flash chinese recovery rom,
but im not sure it will work ,in my case it didnt work because it had base rom of indian varient
actually chinese and indian k20 pro are not the same
for example indian k20 pro dont have NFC
but chinese varient have nfc

Did you complete the flash ？and start the phone into miui? If there have some picture, it is best.

I have some ideas but I have not verified them. You can try to replace the recovery.img in china firmware for twrp and then fastboot flash on edl mode。if it can be done， dnot star it just into twrp and formatted data.
I will test this method on my old mi5 a little later.
To fix the front camera problem you'll have to flash the persist.img file of the 10.3.8 into the persist partition. It worked for me several times.
I accidentaly lock my bootloader, too, but I was able to unlock it right away
Don't worry mate, I had the same issue.
See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/destroyed-error-fastboot-locked-t3946012
I got mine fixed, you just need someone with an authorised account to help you out.
You got this far! You are almost there! trust me.
Thanks guys. I messaged the guy. Let's see if this works
I tried to do root and it brick my phone.
After i tried to put the latest global rom with mi flash pro, the process is fnished but, this message appear. My bootloader is locked and i was tried EDL (testpoint) and not work.
I tried unlock bootloader and it does'nt work too.
When you flashed fastboot ROM it was flashed successfully or with error? If you bootloader is locked and you get "The system has been destroyed", you usually can't flash even a fastboot ROM.
When you tried to unlock bootloader what message do you get? If it ask to wait x hours you must wait or get an account with unlock permissions.
For EDL flash, you must have account with permissions also, do you have one? If not you can find somebody on internet, they charge 12$.
I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.
Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !
Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

What kind of firmware are you trying to flash trough MiFlash ? recovery.zip or fastboot ? Can you take screenshots so people can know what is your issue ? Without screenshot no one will help you here !
Cheers
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.
Sorry for bad english

Few days ago my phone was totally dead, even charging not working. You need to flash firmware with edl authorized account in edl 9008 mode, firehose programator require verification before write ?

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.
This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.
If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9
Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Download the fastboot firmware version and execute flash all. (not flash and lock).
I assume you have fastboot access.

yes .Mi logo 2 sec then screen off
Good evening, today I decided to block the bootloader. I downloaded the latest global and everything went without any problems (via the terminal), but the phone does not load further than the poko logo. There is also a recovery and a fastboot. I flashed it myself according to files, with batnikami, but there is no effect. Who has encountered it and what to do?
I installed the European firmware and the phone came to life
the question is relevant again
try flash stock in edl mode with miflash. relock fastboot after an unlock is never a good idea. probably you have miss to remove oem unlock into dev options. try also xiaomi tool v2. there is an unbrick function
I blocked the bootloader and went through the Stock Recovery firmware through miflash ... The phone immediately came to life
nice! i hope my tips have helped you
Hi everyone,
I bought a Xiaomi MI9 with 128GB of RAM supposedly brand new with an unlocked bootloader to replace my old Mi 9 with 64GB whose screen was broken after a fall. I flashed the latest version of the official EEA ROM and then, for security reasons, I made the mistake of unlocking the bootloader again with "fastboot oem lock" adb command. Since then, my phone start until the MUI logo is displayed then reboots. I have no access to anything. The only way out is to reflash a new rom in EDL mode but, to do this, I need the patched sdm855 ELF file for the mi9. I've tested the one for K20/Mi 9T which have the same name with no success. Can anyone provide me the holy grail ?
Thanks for your help.
David.
@Magellan13, Did you fix it? And how?
If it were a Samsung there would be a recovery key combo, a download mode key combo and if it were Qualcommm - EDL mode- where you would need the correct files to flash.
In recovery there would be a clear cache which can sometimes make it start.
Do u have access to fastboot by keys?, U may have to.unlock bootloader but to unlock u need have registered device on MIUI account.
