Return the device and get a proper Chinese variant if that's the one you originally ordered.

Boot Loader unlocked but cant install TWRP

I bought Redmi Note 5 AI today which Boot Loader status was unlocked in the "developer option" previously and installed Global Stable 9.5.13 previously.
now when I tried to flash TWRP through cmd, it says "flashing is not allowed in lock state"
then when I checked OEM status through cmd, it shows :
Verity mode: true
Device Unlocked: false
Device Critical unlocked: false
What happen when you unlock again by MiUnlocker?
That is fake unlock. Still trying to figure it out that problem. Even flashing couple of time didn't solve it.

Yes. I forget to mention that. It says "this account is not bound to this device" when I connected with mi unlock tools. For additional information, I used the same MI account for both mobile and mi unlock tools. I also synced successfully and activated find my device on mi web before I connected to the PC.

Fake unlock ??? what is that.? The phone was in Chinese stable rom. Then the seller changed it's rom to global by himself. I don't know anything else. But did you face the same problem like me ?
You need to do:
- Add your device to OEM unlock if need
- Activate Mi Message through Setting - System app - Message

Yes, one of my friend's whyred got fake unlock. It is still locked, but you can't unlock it because the status is unlocked. You must entering EDL mode and flash it. But you need permission from Xiaomi to do it. I don't know if they still open for new permissions.

Bootloader unlock for China varient

Does anyone know if there is a special way to unlock the China version of this device?
I have the 8/128gb version from China and can not unlock the bootloader. Ive tired anything and everything and it just hangs after I run the flashing unlock prompt (on cmd term) and nothing happens on my phone screen.
Has anyone else faced this problem and is there any tips/solutions?
Thanks
Edit: I also get this screen when running the unlocking script as well.
Any ideas? As I don’t speak/read Mandarin or Cantonese (apologies if I mislabeled the dialect used)
Mods, please delete!
I was able to use a different windows machine and everything worked !
Was you able to flash a custom ROM ?

There are official tool and guide to unlock bootloader on Realme China forum.
Here are the links:
https://www.realmebbs.com/post-details/1163724162963877888
https://www.realmebbs.com/post-details/1164389059200561152
You can see some screenshots in the links.
0. Log in realme account on your phone.
1. Install "DeepTesting_realme-release_signed(8).apk"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qVV9xWvlWNQ8VPdQuU_5Rfd4WM932lpc/view?usp=sharing
2. Turn on "Developer options" (Press "Build number" 7 times)
3. Turn on oemlock in "Developer options"
4. Apply bootloader unlock in "DeepTesting" app.
5. Around 15 minutes later, your application will be reviewed. Click "开始深度测试" Your device will reboot to "START" fastboot. Use "fastboot flashing unlock" command to unlock bootloader.
The steps is my translation from the official forum article. I bought a Realme X Chinese varient online yesterday (4+64 G, CNY ¥950). It is on shipping now. I will try this official guide after receiving the device.
Note: I am not sure if there is an English version of "DeepTesting_realme-release_signed(8).apk". Here are some Chinese phrases, which may appear in the unlock app. In Chinese, "开始" means "start". "深度测试" means "DeepTesting". "已提交申请" means "have submitted application". "查询审核状态" means "check review state". "审核通过" means "Reviewed".

Hi, the in-depth test from the indian guide to unlock the bootloader (https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1167251892128972800) can be used on the chinese version?
If not the way to relock the bootloader are the same for both indian and chinese versions?

The Chinese on your phone means "You have entered fastboot mode. Hold power button 6-10 seconds or remove the battery to quit."

Perhaps not the same. I find the MD5 of the Chinese and Indian in-depth apk are different. You need to relock your phone with official in-depth app. The official unlock guides are similar. I'm sorry that I didn't translate reboot to fastboot with ADB command previously.

Oh, so basically same guides but different APK. To relock the bootloader I can follow the Indian guide being careful to use the Chinese apk

I think so, but the screenshots of the phone during unlock are kind of different. You need to read the texts on the screen to choose options with power button or Volume +/- button.

I read the Indian guide carefully and find there is no "Turn on OEM unlock in Developer options" step. It is necessary in Chinese version. I have received my Chinese Realme X and flashed "TWRP 3.3.1-30 Unofficial by mauronofrio", "lineage-16.0-20200108-UNOFFICIAL-RMX1901.zip" successfully . "Modified VBMETA" is necessary for flashing TWRP.

Question Unlocking Bootloader

Hello,
I got my F3 global for a week and a half now, but I am not able to unlock the Bootloader. I enabled OEM unlock just after the phone arrived. I am using Mi unlocking Tool Version 5, but it doesn't show a waiting time any more, just chinese letters, which I don't understand at all. Could somebody help me please?

Question OnePlus 9 Pro won't allow me into fastboot mode

Hi.
So I just bought a T-Mobile 9 pro online and I go to unlock the bootloader, and it won't let me ! I've tried the ADB command and it gave me an error saying it's not allowed. Then I turned the phone off and tried the button sequence to get into it. But there is no advanced option from recovery to boot into fastboot.
Just so you know. I'm trying to convert it to international ROM as I have done before with my other OnePlus phones.
Is this a common thing with T-Mobile ?
And how can I get the bootloader unlocked ?
Thanks
Oem unlock and usb debuging enabled in dev settings ?

If you don't have your unlock token from T-Mobile, you will need to use the Tmo->Eu MSM conversion tool to convert to EU. Then unlock bootloader there and go on to global or stay on Eu. If you stay on oos11 or 12, flash nonhlos modem back in.
You should back up modemst1/2 and persist/efs to be safe
