Redmi note 8 pro bricked with locked bootloader - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I got a Redmi note 8 pro from online shop, when I was trying to flash new rom via twrp with Android 10, but I accidentally flashed Android 9, thus my phone was hard bricked.
Without recovery or fastboot, I went to a xiaomi center, but they told me they cannot flash a Chinese phone (Again, I got it from online shop), but they saved my fastboot mode with locked bootloader (but don't save system or recovery mode). Is there any way bypass bootloader to flash full rom? Or flash from DA mode without authorized account?
Please help me.

If you had mi account on device, you can unlock it and then flash it via mi flash tool. If you had not mi account on it, pay for online services that you trust, they will fix it.

Flashed ADB drivers...
Please help me
It's just 10 days old
First I think you should flash TWRP of some sort and flash AOSP based custom ROM to at least be able to boot your phone. If that's done then you can lock your bootloader (if you still want to).

post this in redmi note 5 pro forum
did you lock it or not ?
can you vol - and power to enter bunny screen fastboot ?
did you allowed usb debugging on device before bootloop ?
if still unlock with fastboot, try miflash tool with another version, seems that 1 second result is when tool do not know the phone model.
I used miflashsetupbeta
if relock than i guess it becomes very tricky if am not wrong (edl, testpin,...)here link

Hey you can still fix it if it's relocked. Just flash the proper recovery rom for your device.

Or you can try to unlock the bootloader again with Miflash Unlock Tool.

Bricked Redmi Note 8 after trying to flash Global version in China version

So dumb me, tried to flash a global rom into a China version of Redmi Note 8. Now I tried to flash back the Chinese rom, but it asks me for authorized account. The bootloader is locked. Do you have any recommended service I can use? Is this the only way to revive it?
I have heard people say that you can flash using EDL mode by short circuiting the chip when you open by opening the back of the phone. I think the best thing you can do is go back to the store or to a service center for them to do it for you.
NB! FOR SOMEONE CONTEMPLATING FLASHING ANY FLASHING, DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WHEN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

Question Possible to flash any ROM to bricked and locked Mi11 Lite through fastboot ??

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.

Note 8 Pro stuck on recovery menu with locked bootloader - Please Help!!

Hi,
I got a Chinese Redmi Note 8 Pro which I tried to convert to Global ROM but while flashing I accidently selected the "Flash & Lock" option. The phone is now stuck in recovery menu and shows "This MIUI cannot be installed on this device". The bootloader is also locked again and I am unable to reflash it using the official tool. I am able to get into Fastboot mode.
Please someone advice how can I recover the phone (even on stock Chinese ROM). The official service centres in my country are of no help as the device was not purchased locally. It seems you can get it done online by paying someone with an authorized MI account but I am a bit hesitant to go that way.
I have found lots of guides and youtube videos using SP Flash tool, MTK tools etc but it is not clear if those method will work in my case as my bootloader is locked. Also most of those methods seems to be for a hard bricked phone but I am atleast able to get into fast boot mode. Can someone please guide me exactly which method will work in my case? I dont mind if the phone recovers to the stock chinese rom.
Thanks

Question Bricked mi pad 5 bypassed the locked bootloader

Hello
I wanted to report something strange that happened today
2 weeks ago I buyed the Xiaomi pad 5 (nabu) to replace my mother's one (galaxy tab 3) getting very old anyway
After receiving it and setting it up I discovered that I wasn't able to install Netflix because the bootloader was unlocked
And the ROM installed was the golbal version
So the stuuuuuupid me just relocked the bootloader through fastboot and ended up with a bricked device unable to boot the system and rebooting to on recovery to say that's it can't boot on this miui version
Couldn't flash with mi flashtool can't unlock the bootloader as mi account wasn't binded on the tablet
The only solution I've found is to pay someone with edl authorised account to flash China ROM or unlock bootloader
After trying a bunch of softwares I decided to give up and wait to get payed so I can afford a service to unlock the tablet
Doing so I have let the tablet booted in fastboot (can't find a way to turn it off)
And miraculously today I have found the tablet booted in the system like nothing happend
All data where erased and frp lock was on i've set up the tablet binded mi account and now I have to wait for the 168h cool down to unlock
So was that a bug ? How did the tablet boot into the system with locked bootloader on global ROM ?
And why now it won't boot on system again ?
I think the original ROM was 13.0.5.0
But when it booted it was on version 13.0.3.0
What do you think about it ?
Sorry for that crappy English I'm french
Your english is quite good.
Not sure, but it probably decided it was somehow stuck and automatically rebooted to the other partition.
