Hi
I've installed a new custom ROM (epic rom, oreo based) today, with root (magisk) & twrp as well.
Strange thing is, that before using the new custom ROM, i had 'regular' rom, with root & twrp, and my device status was unlocked.
Now when looking in developer options under OEM status, it states that 'device is locked'.
so my questions are -
1. does flashing new rom resets the oem lock?
2. do I need to unlock using mi-unlock again, even though root is working ok? what benefits will re-unlock will gain? i hate to wipe data again..
Thanks
It shouldn't happen, but sometimes when you upgrade Android versions with some custom ROM's you find bootloader locked again.
It happened to me with a MI4c from 6 to 7 android version using Xiaomi.eu ROM
But it didn't happen with my actual device, MI6 from 7 to 8 Xiaomi.eu ROM

1) The only condition i know of in which you need to reunlock is after flashing *STOCK* MiUI rom. If you flash custom roms your devices remains unlocked.
2) If your root is working ok, i am almost 100% that your bootloader is unlocked too, so no, you dont have to do unlock again.

Regarding lock status - both oem info and miunlock tool states that bootloader is indeed locked

Hello, has passed a lot of time since my last thread. This time, I'm requesting your help about something that every time I read a related thread turns more complicated.
I just want to know if I can flash CyanogenMod 13 or another custom ROM if I have an LG G4 with official Android Marshmallow V20c (not rooted and with locked bootloader, because I don't know if I can take the risk), because I learned how to root and unlock the bootloader, but for example, CM13 needs a V20a stock ROM and when I flashed that version with LGUP I didn't have signal and com.android.process wasn't working.
I hope you can give me a vision, very easy to understand, because the threads are not very explicit.
Thanks and regards!

As simple as possible: no!
With MM and locked BL you can't get root and you can't install any custom Rom.

You don't understand me. I know how to unlock my bootloader and after that root my phone, but I'm not taking the risk because I flashed the V20A stock ROM to install CM13, but I didn't have cellular signal and because that I didn't try to unlock and root my phone.
Maybe this question is more useful: Can I install CM13 when I have a V20C stock ROM and not the V20A one?
Thanks and regards.
You can flash any custom rom if you have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery e.g. TWRP. Without that things you can't flash anything, because custom roms needs unlocked bootloader.

OK, now I understand that I can flash CM13 over V20C and not necessarily over V20A.

You can flash CM13 on any V20... (V10 being LP, V20 MM) as long as you have a MM base you can flash. However, as said above, you MUST unlock bootloader to flash CM, don't try and flash custom ROM without unlocked bootloader. You can unlock bootloader on any version as long as yours is one of the models with the ability.
Hey guys,
I'm using Mi Mix 2 running MIUI 10 Global 8.8.23 and I'm about to install Google Camera and Dolby Atmos on this device. We all know that to do this I have to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root or something like that.
Then my question is: after successfully installing GCam and Dolby, can I unroot, go back to the stock recovery and relock the bootloader to get the OTA update but keeping GCam and Dobly work persistently and flawlessly within the Global Rom ?

Do you mean that using a locked bootloader comes along with No Gcam or Dobly right ?

If you lock the bootloader after modding the system in any way, your phone will soft brick
So pretty much, no, you cant use locked bl with gcam and dolby

Now I understood, thanks for replying
I'm sorry if this was asked before, but I've been searching for a few hours now and I couldn't find a good solution.
Basically, I installed twrp and magisk on my "Redmi Note 5 A.I Global Version" a few weeks ago, and I recentely sold my whyred, just now I remembered that it has twrp on it, the guy that bought the phone doesn't mind but I don't want him to have any issues with the phone.
The phone is in MIUI 10 10.0.4, it's working great with no boot loops or anything, I just want to remove the costum recovery and relock the bootloader while being certain that the method I will use won't cause him any problems.
Can I just install miui 10 rom on twrp and it will remove twrp? And then relock with mi flash unlock?
Thank you.

Hello guys, I knew yesterday that Android 10 finally came out for Redmi Note 8, however for now the china version is the only one available, flashable via UPDATE.APP, right?
That's my question: I'm currently on stock Android 9, but with unlocked bootloader and root with MAGISK.
If I do the update to Android 10, will the bootloader be locked again? Will I be able to unlock again? And I guess I'll lose root too, will be possible to root with Magisk?
Thanks in advance

Just clean flash rom through recovery+flash magisk that's all. Backup everything before flashing. After flashing if reboot redirects to recovery then simply format data partition and reboot again.

i think you can not update this with update app, this update is only for beta tester
you can clean flash it with recovery, if you do this you lose everything along root, data, pictures etc
if you just want miui 12, you also can try eumiui 12 beta with Android 10 or wait for global stable
whatever you choose to do you can not lock your bootloader again even if you select it in mi flash tool you will just brick your device and, bricked device is bigger problem than locked bootloader
Wait for the official OTA update
Background
I've just switched from a P30 Pro to a Xiaomi 13 Pro, I've never rooted a phone in my life.
I loathe the operating system, it doesn't let me open links in the applications that I want to link them in (I'm trying to open Reddit links in an external app and it will not work no matter what I do, just goes to Chrome or the default Reddit app), the game program doesn't let me swipe the taskbar down to view messages, the notch hiding feature doesn't work.
I don't know how much of this is down to MIUI and how much is down to Android updates but it's terrible. This kind of restriction is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. There hasn't been a single thing I've seen so far that represents and improvement.
Specs
CPU - Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform Octa-core Max 3.19GHz
Android version - 13 TKQ1.220905.001
MIUI version - MIUI Global 14.0.22, also listed is 14.0.22.0(TMBEUXM)
Model - 2210132G
Network is Vodafone
Any more specs needed to answer any of these let me know.
Questions
1. Is it possible to root it?
2. If I root this thing is there a way to install the OS from my previous phone, or some other OS that can easily be customised?
3. If it is possible to root it, how do I do it? I assume there's some guide.
4. If I attempt to root it, is it easy to reset it if I **** it up? I had a horrible experience with bricking a PSP trying to root that about 15 years ago and I'm loathe to repeat it.

Xiaomi Eu rom passes safetynet and has the playstore certified without root, if you root it will no longer be the case and will have to use zygisk+Safetynet module.
