Hello. I wanted to root my redmi note 10s, and I unlocked the bootloader. But after reflexion, i want to cancel it, cause root will not be useful as I thought. Is it possible to relock the bootloader? And if yes, will the process erase all data ? And will everything be back like before? For example, will I be allowed to use Google One, witch doesn't work on bootloader unlocked devices ? Thanks by advance

yes, relocking the bootloader will erase all your data, to do so just use miflash and select the option clean flash and lock

I think the most important acronym in the firmware. EU. Flashing the RKBEUXM should therefore not be a problem. Even without the bootloader unlock. OR only means that provider-specific functions are built in. If you don't know them or are unimportant, the XM works just as well.

If you had to unlock the bootloader to flash the XM, I wouldn't relock again. That would surely lead to a brick.

Hello! Can you tell me what method you used to do it? I have a Mi 11 lite 5G, the ROM that came from the factory was a Vodafone EU and I changed it for a Global EU ROM, specifically this one: renoir_eea_global_images_V12.0.8.0.RKIEUXM, but in the process with My Flash Tool the bootloader had to be open, now I have this ROM working perfectly, but I want to close the bootloader to use Google Pay etc. So I am very interested in your method to achieve it.

Don't relock your bootloader with EU rom. Your chinese phone will be bricked.
I am on MIUI 12.5.1.0.RJOINXM. My bootloader is locked. I don't have prior experience in flashing roms. Please help me to downgrade to MIUI 12.0.8. Thank you
No way. You must unlock bootloader then flash the older version with official Mi flash tool.
You can downgrade to any version using spflashtool easily, securely and safely.

Oh, okay.
If you flash in DOWNLOAD MODE, bootloader will keeps SAME, locked or unlocked.
If you flash in FIRMWARE UPGRADE MODE, bootloader will be LOCKED again.
If you flash in FORMAT ALL MODE, bootloader will be LOCKED again and you will lose all identications of the device like IMEI, BLUETOOTH MAC, WIFI MAC.
You can downgrade MIUI safely and securely using download mode.
Thank you, but what is DOWNLOAD MODE?

Dear VD171, i've just downgraded using MiFlashToolV2. The process was simple and the bootloader is still unlocked, so far so good.
But now it refuses to boot to system. It keeps restarting and shows the initial "Redmi", with the unlocked icon in the top.
I tried to Wipe data in xiamoi recovery, but the result is the same.
Please advice

and yes.. i restored the original boot.img even removed magisk and all the other fine details...
PROCEED WITH CAUTION ... till we get a working MSM Tool anyways lol
Yeah the title says it all. Just wondering if that's possible or not since I'm not sure if I'd have to wait for a week for my phone to be unlocked, while I could get the job done in no time.
If unlocking the bootloader is required, then would force unlocking it using mtkclient work (triggers bootloop, haven't tried to relock it and see if it fixes it)? Or will it only work through official bootloader unlocking?
No, you need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a recovery over the stock one

You need to unlock first, since locked bootloader will block any flash over system partitions

Nope,since you cannot re lock the bootloader and must root it to have a certified device.

Normally yes, anyway the bootloader is unlocked and in case of problem you can use Miflash to recover the phone.
EEA have restrictions, notably maximum sound volume.
