I managed to flash global rom on my chinese mi mix 2 but whenever it goes as far as choose you region, incidentally there's only one region China. Error message appears "find device closed unexpectedly". I've wiped data but still same isse.
My bootloader is locked.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure I unlocked my bootloader and installed it the correct way. There is another question and answer thread on this same subject check there. Sounds like to me you flashed wrong rom.

Hi there I have the chance to get two of these good smartphones in China for a good price. The problem is that they have the Chinese rom on it and my parents need the italian language. Will it be possible to flash the global rom or just add the italian language?
Thanks.

Based on my experience b4 unlocking 5A, the only way you can switch from China to Global is to flash it via test point. Unless you've unlocked the phone, you could flash it via fastboot. Is your 5A unlocked yet?

I haven't bought them yet. So I just need to unlock it and flash the rom?

Yep, that's all you need to do. After an unlock, you do have the option to relock your bootloader (which maybe you're already familiar with). The guide is on the miui forums. Good luck!

Yeah but with a locked bootloader, Xiaomi Tool still can't cross flash between China & Global.

In phone settings >About phone>Miui version (click 7times) you will be a developer. back to settings>additionalSetting> developer option>
Turn_On_developer option
OEM UNLOCK_ON
USB DEBUGING_ON

Hi,
I purchased Mi Mix 2 from China and installed the global ROM.
All was good until it was time to reset and handover.
After reset, the phone boots to MIUI 9 screen and asks to choose language after which the region.
The only region available would be China. When selected, it just bootloops on and on and on.
Unfortunately the bootloader is locked.
Steps tried -
1. Wipe Data and Reboot
May I know if there is a way to fix it without getting the phone apart?

I checked all and unfortunately most mention the test point method which involves opening the ceramic back.
Is there any other way to fix without opening device?

Hi letmeputdatipin,
After a lot of trying, I am still not able to flash stock ROM since either the bootloader is locked or the Mix2 not coming up in the account.
May I know if there is a way to reset the mix2 with locked bootloader and phone not registered in Mi account?

You bought second hand phone?
If no then you have nothing to worry about.
And even if you bought second hand just link your mi account to the device and you'll be good to go

No it was just bought to a Chinese store new, and already have my mi account, but in any process (Twrp, root, ROM install) will ever ask me about the bootloader account?

Hey there, so I'm confused. I bought the redmi note 5 pro from Amazon and it said unlocked. I have it on T-Mobile. If it's unlocked that means i don't have to go through the xiomi back? On the box it says global room. It the settings it says I have whyred room. So can I flash a rom already ??
Check fastboot oem device-info
in fastboot. If true , you are unlocked to flash custom ROM, recovery etc....
I saw an international version of the ZIP package coming out. OTA cannot be upgraded directly.
What should I do?
thanks.
I prefer to FLASHthe Xiaomi International Edition ROM, which will retain more of Xiaomi's features.

Unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash the global zip mentioned several times in the forum. Better with EU chinese ROM as more features than global

Correct. If you try and lock the bootloader on the EU Chinese ROM or Global it's good bye phone.
If you don't unlock bootloader you'll be stuck on the Chinese ROM forever.

Why would you want to lock the bootloader?

Well what? If they want to lock the bootloader they can lock the bootloader.
That doesn't answer why! if it bricks the phone it might be useful to understand the process a bit fuller. I'm buying the Chinese version myself so want to be aware of why you'd want to lock the bootloader again

Return to stock, to sell, improve security, warranty etc
You'll only brick it if you install and lock the global ROM on a Chinese device, Chinese rom on a global device, or lock on the Chinese EU ROM
Cool. So if I get the Chinese one I'll put the EU one on.
I don't think I'd need to worry about locking the bootloader for a long time. I want this phone to last a few years and it seems reliable enough. And the processes will improve all the time.
Thanks!

Locking the bootloader is for certain applications and features that requires a more "secure" phone, since an unlocked bootloader is considered not "secure".
Payment Applications, Banking Applications, and DRM applications (Netflix) and such requires the phone to have a locked bootloader, or it will not work.

Are you forgetting Magisk? I'm unlocked since surviving 72 hours of stock locked hell. All my banking apps and Google pay have worked for the past 2 months.
BTW stock Chinese or Dev or Global are garbage compared to the EU version anyways.
Tried to unlock bootloader using developer option "Mi unlock status". Whenever I press the "Add account and device" always give me this error!
"Request parameter error"
Does it happen also to you? any ideas to solve this problem?
me too same error.
there are many users that happens this..
it seems only on global rom.
maybe we can flash chinese rom then unlock boot and the reflash global rom but the problem is that there isnt global packet rom at this moment
I have seen this happen to multiple people.
It seems to be an issue of the Global ROM
The best we can do is for everyone to report it to Xiaomi and wait for a ROM update I guess..

Same problem here with my newly Global Mi Pad 5.
When trying to associate Mi account in Dev options, tablet returns me this error.
I have Mi Account with unlock privilieges for many years now. 1st time i have this problem.
Maybe it is fault of no sim card slot in pad5 ? In poco f1 i must insert sim card to unlock it.
