How can I flash MIUI 9 Official Full ROM without unlocking the bootloader?
I pressed the ”OEM Unlocking” without unlocking the bootloader. I didn't even enter the approved account in "Mi unlock status". Now the status is unlocked. The bootloader is actually still locked. When I use PC to unlock bootloader, it goes until 99% and gives me the error "Current account is not bound to this device". I tried resetting the phone from settings (wipe data partition) but the status is still unlocked.
The question is how can I undo the status to locked so that I can continue unlocking this device and enter the approved account to "Mi unlock status"?

Apply for permission, wait to receive confirmation, sign into account on phone and on Mi unlock tool. Bit too Fastboot mode, on Mi-unlock tool it gets to 99% and then should give you a message to wait 360 hours. This is correct, it will work after the amount of time (about 2 weeks).
Thanks,
But this problem got even worse. I updated to MIUI 9.5 from MIUI 9.1. The update failed. It is not possible to boot into Android either. I even tried formating data. The bootloader is locked. I applied permission and already received it.
I bought the phone via China Mobile.
I suspect that my ROM may be a fake one. But it looks totaly original.
1. 4 digit version code
2. NCKMIEI --> Official and correct MIUI 9.1 version
3. Gapps preinstalled
4. No bloatware
5. Everything looks the same like the original ROM
6. Even Mi Remote is working
What I'm thinking about now is how is the Mi status "Unlocked" even I didn't even enter the approved Mi account used to unlock the bootloader.
I know the bootloader is really "locked" because
[email protected]> fastboot oem device-info
Locked

I'm currently trying to flash CN MIUI ROM through EDL mode (test point) because Global ROM failed. Then try to unlock bootloader from CN MIUI ROM and re-flash Global ROM through MiFlash
Okay, so the phone runs fine now. The phone now runs CN MIUI 9 9.5.3.0 stable version. I am still waiting for the 360 hours (15 days) man!!! for the bootloader unlocking. I applied for the unlocking. Will update when I successfully return to Global Stable ROM.
I flashed CN MIUI 9 ROM via test point. When it reboots, it will show you the error you've encountered before. Relax! Just reboot and wait for about 15 minutes and your phone is alive again.
Thanks Xiaomi for the INCREDIBLY TIGHT SECURITY ???

There is some risk you have to take in order to flash via EDL (test point) mode.
1. You have to backup all of your data. When you flash via EDL mode, your phone will return to "stock" like when you first buy the phone.
2. Flashing via EDL mode will involve removing the phone's back cover. You have to do this if you really want to flash via EDL mode.

Yes. You can unlock bootloader after flashing with EDL mode.
Only use China ROM if you bought your phone from China. If your phone is International phone / not bought from China, I advice you to flash Global ROM first. If it doesn't work, then try China ROM.

Have you tried a different account? Try registering a new account and don't change anything. Then apply unlock bootloader permission at https://en.miui.com/unlock/. After applying for permission, enter your account details in Mi Unlock Status.
If you have a PC, download Mi Unlock Tool here: http://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u265827351/2.3.803.10/miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10.zip
Open Mi Unlock Tool by clicking miflash_unlock.exe.
Enter your login details and reboot your phone to fastboot mode.
Plug in your phone.
Press unlock.
If successful, you will see a message with "After 360 hours of trying to unlock device"
This is normal.
You need to wait for 15 days to try to unlock the bootloader.
There is no quicker way to overcome this. I also waited for 15 days. Also please don't keep pressing unlock in your PC when the 15 days is not over. It will block your device and you can't unlock again.
If you need some personal assistance, private message me and I will give you my Facebook / Messenger ID.
Hi I have a big problem with my Max 3.
I ulocked it and then I flashed it with the official Xiaomi Flash App and clicked the 'clean all and lock' button. Unfortunally I flashed a bad ROM.
Now I can only boot to recovery (This MIUI version can't be installed on this device) and Fastboot.
If I try to flash a ROM I see 'Erase not allowed in lock state'. I tried to unlock it with fastboot, I receive 'Token verify failed' I tried with Mi Unlock: My account is accepted and when I click Unlock
I have 'Current account is not bound to this device' But I can't bound it because i can't boot it!!
I would be very, very happy about a solution for this mess!!!
Thanks everyone who has i idea!
Use MiFlash tool, flash the fastboot version of latest global stable or beta rom on: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/how-to/rom-official-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503

He already tried that. You can't use MiFlash with locked bootloader.
I am afraid you have bricked your phone. Unless you have an official Xiaomi servicecentre nearby.

Are you sure?
I had exactly the same. Locked my device when flashing (!!!?) then error while flashing, format the phone and everything was gone, locked bootloader.
After a search of 2 months I found out it was possible to repair the phone.
You have to open your phone, not very hard..follow this video https://youtu.be/dYlKG3EcpHg
Then contact the guys from S-Unlock https://s-unlock.com. I did it too, and they are thrustworthy.
You have to test point your device, https://youtu.be/IYWItgq2f9E until the Quallcom driver appears in your devicelist.
Then contact S-Unlock via chat. It can take up to 2 hours before the respond. The service cost 25 dollar for installing new Rom.
They log in to your computer via Teamviewer, they install MiFlash and Rom.
They have a special restore account. Without this account your Max will never work again, no need to try.
For 25 dollar my Max3 is working again.
Hello guys.
I recently bought this phone and wanted to use netflix, but didn't allow me because it outdated and said it was not compatible with my phone. So I did a bit of research and found a post in "mi community" that said it was because phone had bootloader unlocked. The phone was new and I didn't change anything of it, but I found the bootloader was unlocked.
Installed fastboot and adb drivers, locked bootloader and got myself into a... Brick?
-I can still load into fastboot.
-If I turn on the phone, It tries to load android but loads Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead. Recovery also says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
I'm so lost from this point, I need to know if there is a way to flash any rom, and which one do I need.
Thanks in advice
stuck on recovery
Most likely a chinese phone that came with global rom. If it came with global rom try flashing chinese rom and then unlocking bootloader and reflash global. Do not lock bootloader after flashing global.

Thanks for your answer, that is exactly what I've.
The problem is I tried to flash a Chinese from but it always denie it. Tried to flash the last global rom and allows me to do it with the same program.
Not sure where I can get the official chinese rom or how to bypass the xiaomi protection.
Thanks for helping! Hope I can somehow do it
Locked bootloader
Try searching for tools below which might help.
Saki / XiaomiADBFastbootTools
XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.5.1-Win
I had hard bricked mine and had to take back off and use EDL to revive.

I don't find the way to reboot (via software) to EDL from fastboot, is still possible to access it by opening the phone?

If you can flash global ROM. I think you just need to unlock bootloader and then flash China ROM once you have unlocked bootloader.

It lets me flash de global one, but when I try to do the same with chinese rom, it says the version is lower, so I can't "downgrade".
It's weird because according to version number, the global one was a few versions lower
Solved the issue
The same issue , i was also encountered , After Flashing with "Xiaomi_Mi_Max_3_V10.2.1.0.PEDMIXM_20190226.0000.00_Global_9.0" Mi Max 3 with the MiFlash20191206 tool , by default the tool used "Clear data and Lock".
The tool saying "Flashing" and my phone got rebooted and went to MI Recovery 3.0 and also i got the message as
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
I am not clueless how to proceed. So downloaded the Chinese version and again i tried to flash with above tool. Now tool said that "Can't Erase Locked" phone.
So Now i connected to Miflash_unlock with fastboot and connected to mi account and again i unlocked the phone.
Now my phone automatically booted to the Global version.
So i hope the issue is selecting the option as "Clear data and lock" . We need to select only "Clear data" in the flash tool.

Hi there,
I encountered the same issue. I tried to flash some CN Rom without enough research, without knowing that you can't just flash an Android 10 rom from 9 directly by recovery (even TWRP). So I ended up Fastboot or TWRP but never able to boot into system. Fortunately I didn't flash my Max3 by fastboot rushly, so my phone was still unlocked.
This is how I solved it:
1. Download an official CN ROM (the below I used is MIUI 11 with Android 9.9.x);
I can't post link here but search "miui通过线刷升级" - you shall see a miui.com link ending with shuaji-393.html. That's the page I download the Mi Max3 ROM from.
2. Use MiFlash to flash the official ROM with the flash option "clean all", NOT "clean All and lock";
3. The phone shall reboot into system, give it 5-10 minutes;
4. Flash the miui.eu ROM you like (DO make sure it is Android 9 tho) by recovery (tutorial given under every official xiaomi.eu ROM download).
Again it's easy to search
It took me less than an hour to do it (I don't have much experience with new XiaoMi phone). So don't worry about bricking your phone forever.
Hope it helps to destress
Hi guys. I need some help too because I'm not totally sure what I have to do here so if anyone can give me some tips I would appreciate it.
I just ordered the 128gb 6gb ram version of Mi Max 3 and it might come with the global rom and already unlocked. Should I use the Mi flash tool to install the file MIUI 11 V11.0.3.0.PEDCNXM android 9 fastboot file? then after that installs I should lock the bootloader and then unlock it again myself with my mi own account? I just want to make sure that this is the correct way to do it.
Also after it I unlock it should I flash the newest xiaomi.eu rom with android 10 or do i have to do something else first? Thank you
Hi everybody,
I recently tried to downgrade from 12.5.5.0 to 12.0.2.0 recovery version.
It was not a good idea since phone does not start any more and has a black screen no matter what I do.
But it can access fastboot mode...
My question:
Its locked unfortunately and I cannot access it anymore since it does not boot.
Is it possible to flash ANY Rom to it?
I tried it with several ROMs but Miflash tool always blocks the procedure since phone is locked...
Is there a ROM for the Mi 11 Lite 4G that is accepted by the MiFlash tool in locked state?

The problem is not the ROM version to be accepted but your device itself, due to the locked status it refuses to accept any partition to be flashed.
This same principle doesn't matter in EDL mode, but XM11 (and most of, if not all, Xiaomi devices) require of an authorized account for Mi Flash tool.
If you at least did bind your Mi account and started the process to unlock bootloader, then you still can do this.
Did you fixed the problem? If yes, how?

@SubwayChamp already mentioned how one'd go about it:
- If the phone was bound to the owner's Mi account, starting a bootloader unlock process and if it is able to go forward, it could then be restored to a working state.
- Perhaps... sideloading a full recovery ROM if access to the stock recovery and Mi Assistant were an option, although just like with EDL, I'm guessing some sort of authorization takes place (it used to several years ago).
- Take the phone to a service center and plead one's case, they could be willing to flash the device with an official build, although if it were me I'd require proof of ownership at least.
- Resort to a 3rd party service / app that deals in auth. EDL flashes for money.
That's about it, these days there's not even a point in opening a device to access the test points.
I have a Mi 10T purchased in Italy, and therefore coming factory loaded with a "branded" firmware RJDEUHG. It should be a Windtre modded ROM, please correct me if I'm wrong.
The latest known working ROM was the miui_APOLLOEEAHGGlobal_V12.5.3.0.RJDEUHG_da9e1c75b5_11.0.
Tired of waiting for the slow updates, compared to the unbranded global rooms, I decided to de-brand the phone and upgrade to a stock RJDEUXM.
But none of the XM firmware would load from recovery, therefore I applied and successfully unlocked the bootloader.
With the bootloader unlocked I managed to successfully flash
apollo_eea_global_images_V13.0.2.0.SJDEUXM_20220329.0000.00_12.0_eea_ad6f7ce846
apollo_eea_global_images_V12.5.12.0.RJDEUXM_20220208.0000.00_11.0_eea_664a15ed19
but both got stuck in a bootloop right after flashing.
During one of the many attempts, I used the MiFlash tool and accidentally left the default Flash & Lock option, the flashing was successful and the bootloader was locked.
At the moment I'm on V13.0.2.0.SJDEUXM, and can load onto bootloader and recovery, while, as mentioned before, the system won't load and get stuck in bootloop.
If I try to unlock the bootloader once again, the MiUnlock does not recognize the phone while in fastboot mode, remaining in the "Not connected to the phone" screen.
Any help would be really appreciated.
maybe, this is the solution, seems the same issue
