Hello guys, recently I've updated to MIUI 12.5, I'm on Chinese ROM, and since then, all apps associated with Google stopped working, so I decided to switch it to Global ROM, but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader. I've followed instructions online, and also factory restarted the phone, but nothing seems to work. Also, tried with older versions of Mi Unlock tool, but no luck.
Here is also error message I receive everytime I try to unlock my bootloader.
use the most recent version to unlock

Alright guys, I was trying to fix my fingerprint (which I ended up doing) by flashing the global dev ROM 7.8.31 via fastboot with the miflash tool but I accidentally locked the bootloader while doing so. My phone came with the bootloader unlocked and now I can no longer unlock the bootloader. in developper options, the OEM unlocking option is enabled but no matter what I do in fastboot, the process simply does not work. I get the remote token verification has failed message. I have tried every freakin guide out there but my phone now refuses to get unlocked. I can't flash anything with miflash tool anymore, it just says failed, even when trying to flash the global dev 7.8.31 ROM. Anyone can help me here? Xiaomi says my device is unsupported for unlocking yet it was unlocked from the start........
What i did was the official unlock guide from xiaomi where you will get the code from them. Sadly you have to wait for 3days to be able to unlock them again.
Well check this thread...

Well I did that but it kept on saying I had too many IP requests of sorts but I used TunnelBear and set my location to Hong Kong and that allowed me to bypass that and the request was passed through. Surprisingly, I got a message 4 hours later that said I was able to unlock it instead of the 2-7 days it took for most people to get theirs
Same happened to me. I re-lock bootloader to install android pay, and bricked my phone.
Have to reboot in EDL mode (after >50 tries) and flash again.
But... Flashed a locked bootloader version, so i have to request for official unlock (phone came unlocked)
Now I have unlocked bootloader, with Magisk and Safety Net module with Android Pay working fine.
PS: i also had the IP problem. Used a Chinese proxy to override restriction.
I've had the phone since March and love it, but when it updated to 8.5.1.0 it lost Root. Since then I have been unable to unlock the bootloader. Xiaomi support has been no help. I have even tried creating a new Mi account and logging of of the phone and then back in with the new account, but no luck. Mi Unlock still will not do it's job.
I get messages that the device is not eligable, the phone and account are not couples and others.
I do have to say that, other than this I do love the device. But, Again, I would like to root it again and have the option of running other ROM or flashing a new one from MIUI forum.
Hello. So, i have used the xiaomi.eu Android 9.0 ROM for a couple of days now. I saw that the new update is available, so I downloaded and installed it. However, this update boot looped my phone. I decided to flash the Global 8.0 version, knowing that I can do that since the phone doesn't have protection against downgrading.
Now however the phone is giving me security messages about 'find my phone' and "couldn't check secure device info". I could live without having to log in to my Mi account, however since downgrading my Wi-Fi doesn't work at all, and I am unable to get my phone verified to unlock the bootloader to flash the Android 9.0 ROM back (since it cannot check the secure device info). Is there anything that I can do?
I tried downloading the Open Beta ROM from here and installing it through the updater app, however the phone throws up an error about different Android versions.

I tried, however I got the message erase boot error. I'm guessing this is because my bootloader has been locked.
You can't use miflash with locked bootloader.Unlock and flash trough fastboot
Hi , try this method https://en.miui.com/thread-1351514-1-1.html, fix for me , but if you scary , unlock your bootloader first look at here https://c.mi.com/thread-1635834-1-1.html but never never relock the bootloader , you'll brick phone , if one day you use miflashtool choose "clear all" don't forget that

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
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

fastboot devices
fastboot continue
if you have some lucky, boot normally
otherwise follow all the step
