So, am i authorised to unlock bootloader twice at the same time from my account?
I heard you can unlock bootloader once in a month from one account.
please clearify this

it worked for me ( i copy and replace all global file to Chinese rom folder )
i flash 11.0.5 India global on Chinese redmi 6 pro

then my phone convert to global
i test ota update it to 11.0.7 ( on unlock phone) it worked too ( beacuse i heard if I lock converted phone and Update, it will breaked !! )

Locked bootloader, stuck in recovery mode.

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I recently bought this phone and wanted to use netflix, but didn't allow me because it outdated and said it was not compatible with my phone.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

Buying CN version with Global Rom!!

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying mi 9 se in Lavender Colour but they only come in CN version so we thinking of getting with Global Rom. So...
Will this have Google play, Google Pay & NFC.
If not what can I do to get above?
Many thanks

Everything works, all Google services available within the Rom
Only Themes not available for download, it gives Error.

Be aware of some lte bands which are missing compared to the global version. For example band 20. It depends from your provider which bands they use for 4g if you will have file lte speed...

Everything Works, but You can't keep bootloader locked of you have a Chinese device.. you will need to flash Rom via TWRP or Mi flash without locking the bootloader if you will lock the bootloader you will get a brick device.

Thank you very much for your responses!
Do you have a tutorial or link which I can follow.
Thanks in advance

My Pleasure, just Unlock bootloader by using MiUnlock you can search it using Google. Once device is unlocked Download the Latest Fastboot Global rom (Make sure it is of Mi 9SE (Grus) ) , Roms file Name would be xx.tgz like this, you will need to unzip the file and flash it using Miflash App... Make sure you should not select CLEAN AND LOCKED option in the Miflash.. use Clean only or somthing like that..Once the file is flashed..you will get the Global Rom but eith bootloader still unlocked

Thanks for that info!!
The device I'm getting already has Global Rom installed but my main concern was Google Play and Pay would work? Also NFC & Band 20?.. If all works then that's good..!
I've also read that it's better to put Miui.EU Rom, is that true?

Redmi note 8 pro running on Chinese rom

Hello, so my friend got a redmi note 8 pro Chinese variant and I want to install pixel experience or atleast global rom but I tried through MI flash tool and it keeps saying Length cannot be less than zero even when the phone is in fastboot mode.
Also when I tried to install with flash_all bat the phone kept restarting again and again.
Which recovery do I install in redmi note 8 pro? Or how do I atleast switch to global rom since MI flash tool isn't working (I've tried every version possible)

By sp flash tool if you want Miui fastboot. But if you do something weird, you will lose your IMEI (A few Youtube guides make you lose your IMEI too) or brick. Or by Twrp (if you not follow guide you maybe stuck at Redmi logo), flash Miui recovery rom or PE+ rom (need miui 12.5.x, need follow their guide or hardbrick). Or you can pm me and i will help.

Question Possible to go from 8 Pro + CN to EU version?

A bit sick of the UI but worried that since the 8 Pro + version is not available in Europe there may be issues. Is there anyone who tried this? Is it possible to install stock firmware from another region?

I know this doesn't answer the first part of your question directly but it works the other way. I have installed CN on my EU model. Interesting that there's a few extra settings in the CN such as updating the GPU directly.
I'm on the latest CN firmware V2.26 and the battery is much better but probably due to all the battery saving default settings.

Yes, you can change the payload_properties.txt in the rom of the region you want to flash. Change the text "nx729j_un" or "nx729j_**" for " NUBIA_SUBVERSION to "nx729j". Put the modified rom in the root directory and use local update. You do not have to unlock the bootloader to do this. If this does not work then you have to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery of the rom in the region you want to change to and use sideload to flash the rom. However the second method might mess up your phone and you might not be able to boot your phone.

In the payload_properties.txt, change the text "nx729j_un" for " NUBIA_SUBVERSION to "nx729j". Put the modified rom in the root directory and use local update. You do not have to unlock the bootloader to do this. If this does not work then you have to unlock the bootloader by go to bootloader and in the command window type
fastboot flashing unlock
Follow the direction to unlock the phone
You need to extract the payload.bin from the CN rom, then use payload dumper or fastboot enhance to extract recovery.img from the payload.bin. Go to bootloader and flash the recovery of the CN rom (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
Then reboot to recovery, choose English when you see "Wipe data" type
adb reboot sideload
Once your phone boots into sideload mode (When you see the two error line at the bottom of the screen) type
adb sideload NX729J-update.zip (this is the CN rom you want to flash)
Whether the transfer is successful or not you can wipe the data and reboot the phone. If the transfer is successful you will be in the CN rom, if not you should be back to your own Global rom. The sideload will load the new rom to the other slot so it should not change the current slot.

I'm terms of unlocking the bootloader all I have to do is go into fastboot mode (with OEM unlock, USB debugger selected on the phone of course) and type in the "fastboot flashing unlock" command and whatever next steps I'm supposed to do? Also I have not set fingerprint and or security pin on this phone yet and I've read that people are having issues with them after unlocking bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? If so are you having pin/fingerprint issues and if not was there anything you need to do to avoid the issue when unlocking the bootloader? TY!
