Question Can I relock my bootloader after changing China ROM to Global? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)

Now I'm at MIUI 12.5.10 china and I want to change to global MIUI 12.5 because now I can't use Google unless root the device
And I already unlock the bootloader in this China Rom i just haven't change it to the global Rom
At first I want to flash the Rom through recovery so I try to install the TWRP recovery in this device but I can't install it it keep showing me logo and boot into original recovery
Now I want to change to global 12.5 Rom through fastboot
After I done that can I relock the bootloader ?
And how can I change safety (without bricking the phone) from MIUI 12.5 china to global MIUI 12.5
Thanks you all

Use this tool for stock rom.
Don't relock the bootloader
If you lock it when there is global rom , it will brick .

roms are better than stock.

Should I update to MIUI 10 by OTA or unlock bootloader to flash MIUI 10

I just bought the redmi 6 pro which unfortunately is the Chinese version but not minding almost all I see in the phone is in Chinese and I use Google translate to read few things here and to be frank, I love the phone and will keep maximising how interesting it will be. I saw an update alert in the settings to download and install an update as shown in the picture below but I keep seeing people who write about unlocking bootloaders and tweaking their phones. Apart from installing custom ROMs, themes, etc; what else is in this hype of unlocking bootloaders? Hope it is safe to update from OTA? Though I use to be tech zealous about custom in my previous Android phones but I've come to just love and stay in peace with the official ROM of this device and wouldn't want altering any of it's official settings.
If you have China version with CN Miui (ODICNFD) you can do OTA update.
You need to unlock bootloader if you have China version with Indian Miui (ODMMIFD) and want to do OTA update.
You must be sure which version of phone and which version of Miui you have

I have modified bootloader and installed Indian rom on CN version
If I check my product name
fastboot getvar product
It says sakura_ Indian
That why I can't do a OTA update without unlock bootloader because I have CN version with modified bootloader.
Just check your version in fastboot mode (btw your box of Redmi 6 pro has to be red and with Chinese characters. If it is correct you can do OTA update without unlock bootloader.

First of you have to unlock bootloader. Then Check in fastboot mode name of your phone. "fastboot getvar product". If you have sakura just unpack Miui global fastboot rom and edit flash_all.bat and flash_all.sh by notepad++ and change sakura_india to sakura. Then install it with miflash. Use only clean all, don't use clean all and lock!

If you have moded bootloader from sakura to sakura_india by seller you have to unlock bootloader. Don't even try to flash or update global rom on locked phone. You won't be able to install China rom with recovery becous of moded bootloader. Unlock bootloader first, then you can install what you want

Go back to Stock ROM from Custom ROM (Help)

Hello you beautiful people ,
I recently purchased a Redmi Note 5 AI and i want to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM since i'm not happy with MIUI, i have read about ARB and i'm fully aware that i can't flash an older MIUI ROM with a lower ARB than what i previously had.
But what's absolutely confusing me is if i decide to change my mind, how do i go back to Stock Everything (ROM, Recovery, Bootloader) basically and be able to receive OTA's from Xiaomi normally again? (I tried to search the forums to find an answer but i couldn't find anything so please don't tell me to check the forums).

You will get option to lock the bootloader or keep the bootloader unlocked
Yes this method will bring stock recovery and you will get OTA updates.
You have to download global ROM to flash it on global variant device
Or China ROM to flash it on Chinese variant device

In MiFlash software. Select clean_all and lock option to lock the bootloader
Yes you can flash 10.2.2 or any older ROM wich has ARB value 4 (you can flash any ROM between 9.5.19 to 10.2.2)

flashing the Indian fastboot rom without bricking the device

My redmi 6 pro had a chinese rom out of the box. Can I unlock bootloader and flash the Indian fastboot rom without bricking the device? As I live out of china and I rather have a non-chinese rom.
I have the same question.

Flashing indian rom will lock the bootloader. You can unlock again after flashing but, many user faced 30 days unlock waiting time for the second unlock. Keep that in mind,
And if you prefer global rom, use xiaomi.eu rom.

I heard that it may brick the device. What about that? As I don't have access to any official repair store. Btw I need the chinese fastboot rom incase anything goes wrong but I can't find it as it's not in the downloads page(only india rom). What can be done?
I want the eu rom flashing process to be completely safe and reversable in the future. But I don't have any china fastboot rom.

Question Can I update from Global Rom to Indonesian ROM WITHOUT unlocking bootloader

My Phone (Poco F3) comes With Global ROM Firmare (Alioth Global R-KH-MI-XM 12.0.3)
Can I update its firmare To Indonesian ROM Firmware (Alioth Global R-KH-ID-XM 12.5.1)
Using Regular recovery Image *.zip
Without unlocking bootloader!
>>>
And What Will Happen If I do So ?
Will The phone be bricked!
of course no lol. It will not even install. If you wish to do it, unlock bootloader then use mi flash
Must need bootloader to be unlocked
Even if it can be done any modifications with firmware or ROM are a major risk if done on a locked bootloader. unlock the bootloader otherwise risk bricking your device
if i were you...i choose to flash MI EU... & my poco is indonesian rom... trust me it's buggy too after updating 12.5

as far as I know you can not block the bootloader of a stock with a different region from the original, it goes into brick.
