I bought a Xiaomi mi 8 in a Xiaomi Shop in Shanghai. If I try to relock the bootloader I always get stuck booting on the recovery mode. Besides, I can not flash anything (supersu, xposed...) because I always end in bootloop; in both cases it is a softbrick
Can anybody help me?
If you have a mi8 Chinese box you aren't allowed to flash global ROM and lock bootloader.
And is there any way to fix it? Writing to Xiaomi, waiting X time...?
Thanks for your reply!
There are literally, more than a few hundred threads about not relocking. You modified your phone without reading up, no sympathy here. Your phone is dead if it is not global version. Gone. Paperweight. All the best to you

Hey! Nice to meet you and thanks for your kind answer. This placer is better thanks to people like you.
By the way,my mobile works perfectly. I relocked the bootloader more than once and I just needed to unblocked to solve it. About reading the posts, If you had read you would have realized that what interests me is simply to know if I can re-block the bootloader.
Who taught you to help people in forums that have problems and is probably having a bad time? Hitler?

You can check out official xiaomi forum to see a way. However the official way posted there including open up the device & tinkering with the EDL mode, which is really too much of a hassle :/

Are you having a modern Xiaomi device? How can you relock bootloader without sending it to bootloop?

Better now, at least you're helping to find the information. And you are right, I should read more before doing anything; in fact, I read a lot but you know, internet is so big and it's no difficult to get lost in that information sea (even more if you're a noob in the area). I'll do it better next time.
Have a good day.

I bought it a couple of weeks ago. And no, I cannot relock it without sending it to bootloop.
The thing went like that: I unlocked the bootloader, I flashed the global ROM, I relocked the bootloader and I fell into recovery bootloop. So I entered on fastboot mode, I unblocked the bootloader again (with the Xiaomi tool), I went to fastboot again and I reflashed the global ROM.
The bootloader have to be open to allow the global ROM work. I don't know why I have avoided the brick, but this is what I've done at least twice.

Well if it bootloops the first time after you relocked it, it'll bootloop again & again. Was there any time after relocking did your phone boot properly? If not, you didn't avoid anything. As far as I understand, boot loop = soft brick.
And this is what I found on MIUI official forum:
TUTORIAL FLASH MI 8 BOOTLOP (SOFTBRICK & BRICK) WITH TESTPOIN:http://en.miui.com/thread-3459005-1-1.html

If I read it right, your device goes into bootloop when installing a Global ROM version and trying to block the bootloader. Probably your device is a Chinese version, which should only have the bootloader locked running a China ROM.
Otherwise, it will be bootloop.

True that. Any Chinese devices running global will get (soft)bricked
Yeah, I was asking is you know the way to lock a chinese phone in global rom. Maybe in the future or with MIUI 10
Is it possible to enter EDL mode via opening your device and connecting the dots to enter 9008 Mode and than use QFIL (Qualcomm_Flash_Image_Loader) to restore the software, instead of going with the MiFlashTool and a needed EDL authorized account?

Actually these are excellent news, I had never read about a case like this. We knew that if the bootloader was unlocked by the seller and you locked it flashing a global rom (being a Chinese phone) you would get a brick only repairable through testpoint and using an authorized account. But I had never read about doing the same whith the bootloader unlocked by the user and I didn't know if it would be possible to unlock it again. So now we know this :
- Chinese unlocked by the seller -> brick locking while flashing global -> impossible to unlock and edl needed
- Chinese unlocked by the owner -> brick locking while flashing global -> ability to re-unlock and flash normally
I had some questions now :
1.- Did you have to wait to unlock the bootloader the first time? (360hrs, 720hrs.. You know)
2.- Did you have to wait when unlocking after the brick or was it instantly unlocked?
Thanks in advance!

It seems to me that this is not so, as some members still manage. However, since they did not add their personal Account to the developer options, they were not able to unlock the device again because they did not have the account associated with the device. It seems to be something related to different cases.
What can be recommended is that the devices unlocked by the seller, return to Chinese ROM more stable, and have your bootloader blocked. By then, the user requests to unblock the bootloader regardless of the time they have to wait. Thus making everything safer, in the case of possible bricks in the future.

Have you ever heard of read about somebody doing that? Because I think there's still the doubt about the unlocking method used by the sellers, whether they do a regular unlock with an account or they patch the boot in any way which could cause problems locking the bootloader.
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 ?
Hello Community,
i have a Problem after the installation of the newest android Update (OTA).
The A2 just Boot till the white AndroidOne Logo and it hangs there after a time it seems it shut down itself.
My Device:
-USB Debugging is disabled, its a new testing device.
-I cant boot in recovery mode (vol-UP+Power) just boots to the white androidOne Screen and there it hangs
- I can enter fastboot(VOL-Down+power) mode and the device is listed when i type fastboot devices in my terminal on pc
- when i fire up MiFlash tool it list my device after clicking refresh, if i want flash the latest FW (http://en.miui.com/download-353.html) i get the error:
error:"Flash bluetooth_a error"
- My bootloader is locked.
Question:
How can I flash a offical Android with a locked bootloader?
is it a good idea? or better send it back for a warranty solution (i dont want wait)
is there another way to solve my problem? i really dont know whats the problem is. i did not rooted the device or anything.
would be lovely if someone could help me. with an instruction what i can try.
Thank you very much and have a nice day
Regards
If you have enabled 'OEM Unlock' setting in Developer settings, you will probably be good, you can unlock bootloader(oem/flashing/critical) and flash the official ROM ( as per now, 10.0.2.0 )
If not, you have 2 options
-Boot into EDL using short points and flash from there
-Warranty
Same thing happened to a friend's phone, it wasn't touched and just went brick after 10.0.2.0 OTA.
Guess everyone should enable 'OEM Unlock' in case this happens(Data Encrypted anyway, worst case stolen phone better than the chance of brick every time an OTA comes)
edit: If you want to save your data, you obviously shouldn't try the bootloader unlock way...EDL flashing allows flashing without wiping data, but haven't tested that personally
wow really? that are bad news...
thank you anyway :crying:
maybe someone other got a idea?
regards
Lot of users faced this after today's update including myself. Since my bootloader is locked, only option left is EDL flashing by connecting motherboard test points.
Just an advice for everyone reading this message from a Xiaomi Android One device: ALWAYS KEEP UR BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, IT DOESNT MATTER IF USB DEBUG ISNT ACTIVE, JUST UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
sorry for caps, is just an important thing, i also had the issue but with unlocked bootloader i solved it easily
Just flash using fastboot

Exactly the same situation here... Waiting for a solution without losing warranty.
I think if your bootloader is not unlocked, the only possible solution left is to shorting the test points on motherboard. Those who have warranty can return the unit for claim. Yet another mess up from Xiaomi and this will be my last phone from them.

I can understand that. I will claim warranty because its new and i dont want do that test point thing.
on private i would buy and recommend xiaomi anyways but if you want these hardware for some enterprise things then better not.
Iam out of this Thread now but if you want talk here some more feel free.. maybe somebody can bring a solution for all you guys who face this problem but i think its not possible without a open BL or the TestPoint Method.

Thank you very much for help. I have read both but unfortunately i can not UNLOCK my bootloader… when i was trying to unlock the bootloader through MI UNLOCK, it says "Current account is not bound to this device". Otherwise if this was succesful and i could unlock it, then it would be easy i believe.

Since you locked the boot loader, you'd have to flash (with fastboot) using the same flavor of miui which was installed. (example: chinese or eu variation), otherwise you won't be able to boot.

Yes, that i understood… There was EU variation with unlocked bootloader, which i do not know why, but okay…
But now i can not unlock it, it says, when i try to unlock it though fastboot with mi unlock, it says "Current acount is not bound to this device, ADD your acount and device in MIUI"s setting > developer options> mi unlock status.. but obviously i can not do it since i can not turn on my phone, its stuck on recovery mode.

First of all you need chinese mi assistant
Second you need try three versions of roms(eeu , china , global) but im pretty sure that your phone is chinese version that bought from gray market and they unlock bootloader to install global rom
After you download these tell me, i guide you
Be sure download recovery rom (not fastboot)
It has .zip extension not tgz

If you know how to sideload the rom then everything is become okay dont worry
After successful debrick you must bound you mi account to your phone and wait for bl unlock then reflash with mi flash tool and global rom
AND DONT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AGAIN
Yes, unfortunately i do not know how to sidload the rom... But when i have Chinese rom downloaded then what do i do with that? I connect the phone through mi assistant and there it can be flashed?
I had the same thing happen. You need to force a firmware flash ?
I had someone on xda recommend an excellent recovery tool.
It's called 'miflashpro'. It can be hard to find the English version. I did eventually but actually unbricked my Mi9 with the Italian version.
99% chance your cell can be fixed this way
bricked too
I'm having the same problem here, after wipe in twrp mode my phone restart and i'm blocked on bootloader screen.

I did the same thing with a Mi CC9 relocked the bootloader by mistake thinking it was like any other android phone. Did you have a Xiaomi account associated with the phone and signed into after enabling oem unlock in developer options.
If tha'ts the case you can use https://en.miui.com/unlock/ tool from where but it checks your phone number to see whether its associated with mi unlock.
Otherwise you will have to use EDL method which involves disassembling back of phone and shorting out two pins to initialize EDL data transfer but you need a EDL associated account this (belief xiaomi has revoked everyone access to these)
Hello all members.I had same problem and I open this phone with suport from youtube .I try clean some connector and worming cpu and motherboard. After change the battery with new. When close the phone they suprised me and working good.After 10 hours again close and bricked. I try sake and again open .So....the real problem its not CPU and motherboard but some connector dont touch good. Sory for my English. I hope some other find which connector have problem in this phone and pm me. Now my MI 9 working good but I keep bickerful ...
Hi Guys,
I purchsed Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro from Aliexpress with a Global Rom version but the device is a Chinese version.
The seller had to install global firmware and assosiate my device to other Mi account.
The current situation is my bootloader is locked and I can not use the Mi officially to unlock my device.
I tried to contact to the seller, but he can not assist me (they don't know the Mi account access details to release my device).
Duo to that, I tried looking the internet and found this forum. I have a good technic skill so I start tested all the suggestion the forum has to offer.
First I tried ADB and Fastboot, both are failed with the error - FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device)
I also tried miflash but he's requesting Mi account that I dont have the device their. I tried to flash a new fastboot but no success.
I really dont know what else to try, I hope someone here can spred some light on my issue from stoping my device to use as doorstops.
Thank you,
Noy
The bootloader cannot be locked to a Chinese device with a Global rom.
There is no Chinese Mi 9 t pro, the Chinese version is the K20 pro.

The device stuck on "Main Menu" MIUI Recovery 5.0 so I can not verified the phone model, but according to the seller page the model is: M1903F11A
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33016509936.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.61.21ef180253I770
I also tried to use MTK to unlocked the bootloader but I had no success to get the device into a brom mode. I can not trun the phone off, Vol+ & Vol- not works.
Is there any difference between the Mi 9 t pro and the K20 pro?
According to the model number, it is a K20 pro.
Chinese device so the bootloader is locked but with a Chinese rom since this is not possible with a global rom.
Same device except less 4G bands for the K20.

If the device is linked to an account that is not yours, nothing to do.
Is it a new or used device?
Check with the seller or send the phone back to him.
The device was new when I purchased it, the seller said there is no warranty on the device and he can not do anything about it. they used outsource company to do the installation of the Global ROM.
Surely there is a way to bypass Xiaomi locked on the bootloader. the Kernel can be overwrite somehow. just need to find the right way.

The device was new when I purchased it, the seller said there is no warranty on the device and he can not do anything about it. they used outsource company to do the installation of the Global ROM.

This model is from 2019, seems strange that Ali sells new ones.
And you still don't understand that there can't be a Global rom on this model with the bootloader locked.
The bootloader was not locked when I purchsed the device...

What you are saying now is inconsistent with your original post.
A long story to get to 'lock with fastboot'.
I'm sorry if there was a misunderstanding, here is the long story:
In 2019 I got this device from Aliexpress with a Global Rom version but the device is a Chinese version.
The phone was in English, working well with Google Play, and there was no issues with it.
In few months ago I wanted to start using Google Pay and my credit card was not approved for some reason, I contact google suppport and one of thier questions was "Have you unlocked your bootloader, rooted your device, or installed a custom ROM?"
So I started to google it, I find that my bootloader is unlocked, so I thought that I will need to lock it to be able using the Google pay service. what was found a terrible mistake.
First I understand that the only legal way to unlock it was using the Xiaomi official Mi program to unlock it. what I was found that I need Mi account with a registered device on it. my device is registered on some Chinese guy that I dont know so basically he's the legal owner of my device. so I start to look for an alternative solutions.
In my knolage with programs, I can handle with complex solutions to bypass this issue. but none of my trying wasn't succeeded. as I mentions I tried many was to bypass Xiaomi servers, now I found Miracle Box that promising to do the trick but its for only registered members. also there are some guys that said they can unlock the bootloader for money, but I dont know how trust they are....
I hope some of you guys can lead me to any idea/solution or something....
Thank you all for your time, much appriciated.

So, since 2019 you have used your device without a Xiaomi account, which severely limits Xiaomi services?
never used Xiaomi services...
Try to erase the data with the recovery or safe mode, if the option exists, but anyway if the phone is linked to an account you will be asked for the password.
Accounts are linked with a phone and email number and when you change the number a message is displayed.
Thank you, already tried it...
Is anyone know somthing about this? https://github.com/Canny1913/miunlock
Is the token is the key to success?
To sum up:
You have bricked your phone by locking the bootloader with a Global rom.
The reboot is possible but paying but when the phone reboots Xiaomi will ask you for your account and password.
Never ending Story.

Users who want to flash their phones need to study how to use tools, which ROMs to flash, etc
Eg, when flashing a ROM by Mi Flash, always uncheck relocking of the Bootloader. Then, if anything goes wrong, Bootloader will remain unlocked and one can still flash another ROM to easily unbrick the phone
