If you came from china rom, you cannot simply flash global rom into it. You need unlocked bootloader first. Im afraid your device its bricked, you need to flash china rom back through edl mode and also need authorized account to do that.
Try install Chinnese Version
Hello everyone! I hope and everyone is well in this quarantine, the topic of this post is the following. I have a Redmi Note 8 PRO the Chinese version to be exact and a few days ago I was on Android 10 global version with the bootloader unlocked and so far without problems, it happens that due to ignorance I use the tool of my flash to block the bootloader and go down to Android 9 global at the same time when after my cell phone was brick is that I informed myself of the issue that I could not block it since it is the Chinese version and now I do not know how to recover it because when I try to use my flash to flash an official ROM from China it puts a error "crlist error" something I do not understand, and the biggest problem is that I have the locked bootloader and I cannot unlock it because when I was going to flash the device had removed my Xiaomi account. Please if someone knows a solution for my case I would be eternally grateful to you.

Find somebody with an UFI Box. Have them flash the phone remotely. It's not always 100% successful though.
Boot with a spare hard drive or computer. They log in via TeamViewer and install all their files. This includes mods to the registry, unsigned drivers and disabling your Windows Security. But that is the only way to make the box and flash software work.

ANY HELP

Welp, sorry mate, there are no help for hardbrick rn (AFAIK), the only solution is visiting your nearest xiaomi service center or use online tool for buck (due to forum rules I can't reveal it)
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
Hi there, please be gentle with me, I'm not especially software savvy but am seeking help before I make a big mistake!
I bought a Redmi Pad from ebay (lesson learned) which has arrived with an unlocked bootloader. The device is labelled as a 22081283G running MIUI Pad Global 13.1.4, Android version 12 SP1A.210812.016. I can't install certain apps as Google Play says it isn't Play Protected, which a quick search suggests is because the bootloader is unlocked (which I saw from an unlocked padlock symbol when rebooting)? Is there a simple way to 'relock' the bootloader and return it to being able to install apps like Netflix from the Play store? If not, it's going back for a refund which would be a shame as it's otherwise a gorgeous device. Am nervous about attempting anything complex in case I brick it - the first post I hit when searching around this issue suggested relocking the bootloader could do this.
Many, many thanks in advance for any advice!
Install platform tools on a laptop or pc, then shut down your device. Boot up it while holding volume down, then use fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
OR
fastboot flashing lock
try both of these, one should work. This will wipe all data. Then just boot up.
Hi! Thanks for the assist. Would I risk encountering the issue posted here? This is the post that got me nervous that re-locking could inadvertently brick the device?

Okay, what I think happened to them is their device did not have stock firmware. That would make it brick. Google and find your devices stock firmware, flash it, then lock.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to flash firmware. The tablet shows a version that I think is the firmware, as "13.1.4.0(SLYEUXM)". This appears to correspond to a version I found here:
Redmi Pad ROM Download: latest update MIUI 14, Android 13
Download Redmi Pad yunluo firmware & flash file from official website. Latest MIUI 14 and Android 13 update for 22081283G (Global), 22081283C (China)
miuirom.org
Does that mean I'm already on stock firmware?
Try to accept a software update if there are any.
Have updated everything it will let me update. How do I conclusively tell if I'm running stock firmware?
If you can install a official OTA update, you are stock.

Hello.
I see you said it could brick your device. I mean, yes, it's possible but if nothing was modified nothing should happen. Anyway, if you want to be completly safe, use the Mi Flash Tool and download th Fastboot ROM. Choose Clean all and lock and you should be good to go.
