Hi! I am the owner of a Xiaomi Mi Max 3.
I tried to update it to a stable official ROM using Miflash, instead of checking the box flash_all I marked flash and lock. I blocked the bootloader.
The phone does not start, it only goes into the recovery mode and a message appears in red at the end of the recovery menu "this miui version can not be installed on this device"
(This version of MIUI can not be installed on this device)
I can not change the ROM using Miflash.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks greetings.

Hello
Yes there are other programs you can try and use: QUALCOMM / QFIL
I had a similar problem with a Lenovo Tab4 8 Plus (8704x) device and this QFIL program and the right ROM files solved the problem for me on that Lenovo tablet when it was hard bricked i.e only went into fastboot or recovery mode.
You need to find all the right version flashing files for your device before commencing, i.e you cannot downgrade a MIUI rom it has to be the same as what was / is on your device or an upgraded version. Unless your bootloader is unlocked :good:

Also maybe you can try adb fastboot program if QFIL doesnt work
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-adb-fastboot-tools-t3887359
One last thing I remember is make sure your Xiaomi device is recognised by the computer in all modes if possible; fastboot, recovery for the ADB drivers or QFIL drivers to work properly. A pop up ballon bottom right PC screen will show if drivers are recognised and ready.
All the best with it
Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Fixed! Entering EDL mode and following these steps.

Hi, I'm Argentine and I don't know much about English so I'm going to use the google translator and it may not be understood very well.
I'm having a problem, I have my RN5 Pro (whyred) in bootloop, I can flash any frimware from MiFlash / QFIL (fastboot or test point) but it's still the same. I tried to flash a custom rom with all the recovery (all the versions of the TWRP, Orange Fox, RedWolf, PBRP) but it gives me error 7 (I saw tutorials on youtube, it is not useful to edit the update file).
Among many programs I used I found the "Xiaomi ADB / Fasboot tools 6.2.5". When I enter Fastboot mode, I get "Bootloader: unlocked" in the device information, but when I enter ADB mode it says "Bootloader: locked".
What I wanted to know is if it is possible that for this reason I cannot install a rom from recovery, because it recognizes me as "locked".
Bricked with a locked bootloader - "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I can get to "adb sideload" and fastboot, but the bootloader is locked
Can I unlock the bootloader with EDL? Can I access EDL with an EDL-cable? Or do I need to open the phone and short the EDL pins?
Can I recover the phone from a Linux computer? Or do I need Windoze?
Is it even possible to un-screw this phone?
Any help appreciated.

1- Checking if this problem is still a problem with custom ROMs; it is, and thus I believe it to be a hardware fault.
2- Done testing, re-install stock stock ROM, lock bootloader via adb; bricked phone.

ok, you can run edl mode but its no good for you, its already locked by xiaomi, ( go ing to fastboot mode and give commands something like this " fastboot boot edl")
* do you see padlock lock sign when you go to fastboot mode
* try to flash vbmeta in fastboot mode
* try again to flash correct version miui fastboot rom with mi flashing tool with out selecting lock bootloader
I can get to fastboot by holding power+vol-down. There's no lock icon.
On Ubuntu, I don't think fastboot is compiled to support rebooting into edl. I tried editing the source, and I'm not sure if I did it right, but the binary I built did not boot the phone into edl.
Using these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta /tmp/platform-tools/vbmeta.img
They all give the same result:
Code:
target reported max download size of 804274176 bytes
sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.006s]
writing 'vbmeta'...
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)
finished. total time: 0.007s

There are 2 ways to unlock bootloader
1. Official way using Mi flash tool
2. Unofficial way using cmd
There are lots of videos on how to unlock bootloader using cmd go and try them
Most important is to keep your phone charged

1- That requires access to a working phone.
2- All I'm finding is instructions for how to type "fastboot oem unlock" on a Windoze computer.

Did you found a way to fix the phone or unlock bootloader?
You have 2 ways to get out of this situation.
1. Try to unlock the bootloader with the Mi account you used last time.
2. If couldn't unlock, then switch to EDL mode. Use a no auth programmer to flash the correct variant fastboot ROM and the device should boots up. Then add account again and wait for 168 hours for unlocking.
Since we've got no auth programmer for Sm6125 we could use EDL mode freely.
Hi there @go vegan , have you already fix your phone again? because i also got the same situation on my redmi 6. or is there anybody who can help? thanks
Hi all add me to the list with a k20pro.
The device was unlocked at the start, i got MIUI 12.5 global and flashed with miflashtool.
but wipe and lock was active.
now the phone comes up to the recovery menu and says the miui version is not for this device.
When I try to flash to another version, miflashtool says the device is locked,
when I try to unlock while using the account the device is registered in, miunlock says go to settings >developer options> mi unlock status.
Gave it to a repair shop for 1.5 months and nothing. I live in Iran so no authorized service centers here.
I have access to fast boot mode and recovery.
I tried xiaomitoll V2 which had a specific question asking if my device would show This MIUI version can't be installed on this device in phone is bricked option. It goes to get china official Rom but then errors.
I'm a noob here so any help would be great, tnx.
I have encountered the same problem a few hours ago with my beloved Redmi K20 Pro. My heart became gloomy thinking that I have no way left other than having to take to an authorized service centre where they will rip off the back cover. But then I stumbled upon this simple solution that took me a minute or two. This is how I solved it:
Entered the fastboot mode
Connected the phone to my laptop using the USB cable
Opened the official Mi Unlock Tool and logged in with my Mi account, and
Clicked on the beautiful UNLOCK button!
Boom! The phone is back to its vibrant life! I'm just happy again!
when I try to unlock while using the account the device is registered in, miunlock says go to settings >developer options> mi unlock status.

Apply for permissions to unlock Mi devices

The solution to the problem is simple.
into fast boot mode,
Run unlock again!! Obviously it's locked. When unlocking is executed,
the same screen may appear again. Please do a reboot. You will definitely see the MIUI installation screen.
Device: Redmi note 7S
I found a solution and it worked for me:
1.Download the bat file and execute in your windows pc : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NqPotx06yRuhPsOdEAdS4JNsk7qWWchF/view
2. After that use the MI unlocker tool to unlock the device.
3, Use mi flasher to flash the Rom.
After the hours of research in the internet i found the solution.
Thanks

I try EDL mode but need "edl authentication" idont have money to pay for authorized account
Is there any other way i can recover my mi 9 plss help me i badly need my phone for my job plsss.
Thanks.
Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot, reboot your phone to fastboot if you can and then type "fastboot devices", if your phone is detected it should show then "fastboot continue", your phone should boot up to the version you had before
Hello Guys, I want to unlock bootloader via mi flash unlock tool, but I can't login into mi account on my phone, because in options I don't even have mi account, when I can download the apk of mi account or to bring it back?
do it with ADB/Powershell commands in fastboot , no need for mi tool
go in to fastboot mode and use the command
- fastboot oem unlock - to unlock
- fastboot oem lock - to lock
this is better then the flash tool with this you can unlock and
lock the bootloader at will , you can actualy go back to the factory ROM and lock the bootloader , it will wipe your data/phone every time you do it
hope it helps.
Ye I did it wth ADB, the thread can be closed
