sigh, yes I am embarrased at what I did but I have bricked my Mi Pad 5 and need a hand. Background:
- new Mi Pad 5 China hardware but with Global ROM flashed by the vendor I bought from
- the Mi Pad started up fine and I logged into my google and Mi accounts with no issues
- noticed the bootloader was unlocked and that google play said device is not certified
- I used fastboot OEM LOCK *very stooooopid* and the device rebooted
- on start up is says "This miui version can't be installed on this device" and now it's bricked
- tried to wipe data but no luck same error
- tried miunlock tool but it tells me I have to bind my id to the device :-(
- tried XiaoMiTool V2 but it is also stuck
- tried Mi pc suite but it will not detect the mi pad
Is there way way to simply recovery back to the latest chinese version of the rom - feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace :-(
Thx in advance for your help, FredT

thx for the advice, I tried it but anything I do with the included installer tells me it can't work on on a locked device.
still looking for a solution....
You can not unlock again?
oem unlock command
yes unfortunately my stupid error was that I did an OEM LOCK thinking that would be ok and to fix the playstore uncertified issue :-(
when I try to unlock it tells me that I need to bind my ID :-(

Unlock again, install stock china rom, factory reset and lock bootloader
yeah when I try to unlock it now it says that I have to bind my MI id again but I can't boot MIUI to do that - so really stuck as it won't let me unlock
when I try oem unlock I get:
C:\Users\fredp\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24>.\fastboot.exe oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device
)

How did you unlock it in the first place? Maybe use the same method? Mine (pro 5g) came with CN ROM with the bootloader locked, so I had to go through the usual procedure of binding my Mi account and waiting for 7 days to unlock the bootloader. I used Mi Unlock as Xiaomi suggests.
Mine came from the seller with the global rom installed even on the CN hardware so they went through that process which in retrospective was not such a great idea, my mistake was that I did not bind my ID to the device before trying to lock it.
I don't know if you solved your problem, but when this kind of things happened with Xiaomi phones, you needed someone with an authorized Xiaomi account that could log in Xiaomi flasher and unlock your device for you. I remember seeing a guy from Russia who did this procedure for many people over the k20 pro fórum (he charges 20us I think)
Sorry for the kind of generic information but it's been sometime I saw this and can't quite remember the details. Try to search for more info about that in k20 pro fórum.
What I can tell you is that if you find the right person to do it for you it's quite easy and fast. I think he does it over TeamViewer.
Anyway, don't give up. It is totally recoverable
Here bro, this group in telegram can help you
A guy there has an authorized account

How was this fixed? I also have the same problem(locking the bootloader after flashing and bricking it).
I tried to reachout to {Mod edit} and already paid for the service fee, and I am feeling that this is a SCAM, i have been waiting for a day and still no progress with this. Im confused if this is really a thing for our bricked units. Hope they were just really busy and not a scam.

Update on my transaction with {Mod edit}, it is legit! Cant beleive they revived my mi pad 5. This thread is a big help. Thanks!

Dears,
I got my cell phone stolen, IT'S MYSELF!
It is now blocked and a colleague has informed me that I need to downgrade it to gain access.
I have seen the official steps of google, to enter the site of recovery of the account, to signal the account there and to wait for 24/72 hours, however I want to solve now.
Can anyone pass the steps to do here by the pc?
I do not master android but I am a programmer.
Tks,

I think you are asking for FRP (factory reset protection) bypass. This is when you have forgotten the login for the google account on the device.
There a difference between the different G5 models so I suggest you search on your device model for FRP bypass.

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900V device.
Hello Everybody!
Sorry for this dumb and silly Question, i'm looking for a ROM that contains notching of the original Xiaomi Firmware exept the device drivers you need. Maybe ist flashable with the SP Flash Tool?
I'm not a Dev and just learning by reading and doing/testing with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro. Such an amazing device! I love it!
My Siutuation: I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro (Global Version) with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM. I buyed it second hand over the Internet (with the in the original box, with charger, cables, in-ear headphones. manual and a bill from a Xiaomi shop in Praque/Czech Republic (I live in Vienna and for me it's not possible tovisit this store) but as it arrived here i had to notice that the Google Account was deleted but the MI-Account wasn't.
In my own dumbness i've done a factory reset and BAAAAMM the Xiaomi FRP Protection looked my device. After weeks of reading and learning i managed it to Downgrade ist from MIUI 12.0.6. to MIUI 10.4.1. and unlocking it from the FRP-Lock (if somebody facing the same Problem, i can help).
Now i'm searching for a Costom ROM that contain nothing from the original Xiaomi Firmware because the most of the original Xiaomi Apps are quite useless for me and just trash i cannot remove and i have to prevent the phone of connecting the Xiaomi servers to prevent a relock of the phone.
Another Problem is the looked bootloader wich i cannot unlock in the noprmal way, maybe someone has a solution to unlock the bootloader without this Xiaomi App?
By the way, xiaomi customer support is worster then worse, i tried to explain my problem on the phone hotline and email support with no success, seems they are not willing to help anyway as the seller of the phone too (he forget his password, lost the sim card with the telephone number the MI-Account belongs to and forgot the password of the email adress he setted up the xiaomi account. A big mess!
If you plan to buy a Xiaomi phone you should make sure that the Google Account and the Xiaomi MI-Account is deleted or you have to face some big trouble.
Anyway, my device is running and i can use it but i cannot use his full potential and this is very sad and dissappointing for me.
i would appricate every little bit of help i can get!
I hope its the right Forum here for my Problem, if not please feel free to move the threat to the right place or delete it if its tooo silly and dumb!
Thank you anyway!
Your situation is the worst thing that can happen when you buy a xiaomi phone second hand. I am truly sorry for what happened. I don't really know how you would flash a custom ROM with SP Flash Tool. I find hard to believe only replacing system.img and boot.img will be enough, but you can sure try. You might want to join the telegram group where people are more active: t.me/RedmiNote8ProOfficial
About custom ROMs, you can safety flash the latest ones with no wories. I would recommend Pixel Experience as it's stable and provides you all the functionability out of the box. No problems with banking apps or nfc paying apps. All custom ROMs are not bounded to xiaomi firmware and you will use your new phone with no worries.
NON CFW ROMs will be your choice because those are the latest and best.
I really hope you succed! Good luck!

So my poco f3 is bricked and cant flash stock miui using miflash cause it requires auth account. I found that we can bypass that auth acc by replacing patched firehose file but I dont know which file is for Poco F3. Please if someone know where to get it? I need to unbricked my phone asap.
I'd recommend looking for the guide posted on here about getting out of edl mode.
It costs about €5.
I originally went down the road of patched files but ended up paying for someone with an authorized account to do it for me, I paid €25, this was previous to the help guide posted.

Managed to track it down to this website https://romprovider.com/poco-f3-frp-mi-account-bypass-file/
And unfortunately it looks like this only removes the user Mi account linked to the phone.
It's not patched firehose, and hence cannot bypass authorized account requirement in case of a hard brick.

Hi,
i'm trying to unlock my ROG phone 6 with the official "Unlock Device App" from ASUS, but i alway get the error "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[24803]". I also don't see the "OEM unlocking" setting in my Developer settings.
I'm using Android 13, Build number: WW_33.0610.2810.104
Does anyone know how to solve this?
same issue
same issues
Same issue on asus zenfone 8, i wonder if it's something with asus servers, heard that happened before
I picked up a 5s Pro thats on Android 13 and I get the same error. No clue what's going on unfortunately.
I am having the same issue with the ROG 6. I opened a support case with Asus but no response.
yes i have same issue too. ( i have rog 6 pro tencent edition. )
The reason why people can't unlock bootloader now is that Asus's service, to which the application makes a request to, is under maintenance from May 2. Check the message from moderator on Asus forum.
