I ****ed up.
I was coming from miui weekly eu version, I wanted to flash a GSI image. I did in twrp, GSI pixel experience arm a only. Didn't boot further till mi logo. So fastboot flashed miui10 stable and booted till setup screen. Boot asked for a password after GSI boot. So I wanted to try a different GSI and reflashed. Didn't work also. Again fastboot flashed miui10, this time I forgot to unselect 'format and lock' didnt saw that. Now it won't boot in system and twrp, and also can't unlock bootloader anymore with mi unlocked as my phone is somehow not linked to my account anymore.
What am I supposed to do now?

Did you tried to flash recovery? Cuz if you unlocked it with official way I think it can be used also why u install again with miflash via fastboot? With recovery its safe...

Yes I tried flashing custom recovery. Says it can't flash it as my bootloader is not unlocked. Did the fastboot flash again because I wanted to do a deep clean flash again. But forgot to unselect the lock button. Now its locked and only booting in standard miui recovery and fastboot.

Why did you keep using fastboot to flash stock most of these need xiaomi.eu ROM as a base which can be flashed via twrp whatever version you use and it's because you chose flash all and lock hence your stuck now as can't unlock bootloader. I just recovered mine from ARB EDL brick as invought it cheap in that state. You need to flash a stock version version that's suitable to get stock working then attach your account in settings so bootloader unlock can work. My model was Chinese so I needed flash Chinese stock and started again. If your phone was originally Chinese start there then unlock the bootloader etc.

In a nutshell flash and lock with stock version for phone as if Chinese flash and lock won't work with a global stock ROM. Flash a Chinese stock to get back into system and start over again

Yes flash the latest official Chinese not global stock using mi flash tool as that will get your phone back up and running on stock. Then add your account in settings so bootloader unlock can see it. Enable dev setting tick OEM unlock and add account. Unlock your boot loader and your back again mate. If you could have unlocked your boot loader the global would boot but not while it's locked.
1. Flash latest CN firmware
2. Add account in settings after set up
3. Try bootloader unlock again should not have to wait if unlocked before
4. Flash twrp and keep copy of xiaomi.eu ROM on your micro SD card as that's all you need to flash in recovery to return to stock. It's flashed via recovery without errors

I tried the newest version of chinese rom: "nitrogen_images_V10.2.1.0.PEDCNXM_20190214.0000.00_9.0_cn". Same error. It simply can't flash it as my bootloader is locked......
Anyone who can fix this hard brick gets $10 worth of Bitcoin or Ethereum from me.
Hmmm, if you bootloader can be unlocked. I can help you because I hard-bricked my phone because of the Anti Rollback by flashing an earlier version of global pie beta over the current one (10.2.1.0). I had someone from the s-unlock website unbrick my device for me because my Mi account had no authorization to finish the Mi Flash process. So instead, the tech guy used his authorized mi account to bypass the Mi Flash install remotely on my computer to make my phone work again.

My account is verified but I am not signed into it on my phone as I can not boot into system.
Basically you need to flash the latest version of the Chinese stock miui but I haven't seen any tool that does that while bootloader is locked. You won't be able to unless you have bootloader unlocked. It bootloader gets unlocked phone will boot normal but your account should still been linked as phone was signed into it previously. Strange that it won't recognise your account when using the bootloader unlock tool

That is the problem. I was booted into system but skipped the option for logging into my mi account as it was only to get past the unlock screen. Then did the clean flash again but then with the flash all and lock then I couldn't boot into system anymore. I'm seriously in trouble now, I loved this phone. Thankfully I still have a Mi A1 which I use now but it kinda sucks tho.
I guess its the end for this device.
I cant boot into system. I cant flash TWRP as my bootloader is locked (Token verify failed).

Mi Max 3 was a good one, RIP
Hi my phone don´t boot he is stock on The MIUI version can´t be installed on this device, I try every thing, my antirollback is in blanck and the bootloader is change from sakura to sakura_india (by the chinise STORE and after they block the bootloader) but when I install the rom sakura_in the phone show the recovery with the error. I can´t install from edl the CN rom beacause I don´t have ID to flash, the phone only accept from miphoneassistant the IN rom but thath is not the wrigh rom.
In the redmi note 5 there is a solution to flash a rom without ID but I can´t find the same for sakura Phone.:crying::crying:

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

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

Unlock your bootloader for flashing rom, after that you can lock it again.

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.
Hi,
I have unlocked the bootloader, waited 7 days and today I flashed the global Rom.
It looks like rom flashed without problems but now the tablet keeps booting to fastboot ?
Anyone knows how to fix it? Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Koen
What miui version did you have before ?
How you flashed new version of miui ?
What miui version you flashed ?
Hi,
I fixed it I think.
I did a re-flash with Mi Flash with nabu_global_images_V12.5.8.0.RKXMIXM_20210925.0000.00_11.0_global_9235e47a6f
I got an error at the end, but still the tablet boots normally now.
So now I am on global rom, which is great

I've got the same error with nabu_global_images_V12.5.4.0.
And now, with your idea, I'm trying to fix that with image nabu_global_images_V12.5.8.0.
Hope it work.
Edit: opp, not work for me? Which version of MiFlash did you use? Could you give me the link of image??? Thanks
I downloaded the latest global rom here:
Download Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Firmware ROM TWRP (nabu)
Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 Firmware (nabu) ⭐ Mi Pad 5 ROM ⭐ Mi Pad 5 Global ROM - EU ROM - TWRP - Fastboot ROM
mifirm.net
I used the mi unlock tool found here
Download Xiaomi Flash Tool 20210226 - Official Tool
Download the Official and Tested version of Xiaomi Flash Tool, i.e., Xiaomi Flash Tool 20210226 which allows you to Flash Stock Firmware on Xiaomi Devices.
xiaomiflashtool.com
I believe this is the latest version.
When started it ask to install the drivers.
Make sure you unpack the download ROM twice and point it to the unpacked folder in the tool.
I made sure I check the option "clean all" at the bottom.

In MiFlash program, you have 3 option: clean all, save user data and clean and relock bootloader.
1st time, I choice clean all, flash process said succesful but my pad reboot in recovery mode (not flash mode)
second time, i choice clean and relock bootloader, flash again, my pad reboot in nomal mode.
And now, it in looked bootloader but I can unlook anytime I want

You should try to re-unlock bootloader
I unlocked the bootloader of my POCO F3 and installed both LineageOS 18.1 and Lineage's recovery, but now I need to send the phone back to Xiaomi and I can't return a device that has been tampered with. For this reason I need to flash the EEA ROM (the EU ROM) that came with the device, flash the original recovery (I'm not sure if this will be done automatically when I flash the EEA ROM) and lock the bootloader. I found this guide on how to flash the stock ROM but I haven't found how to lock the bootloader. Is there any way to do it?

Assuming you'll be using miflash to flash stock firmware, just leave 'clean all and lock' checked (bottom right corner of miflash). That'll lock the bootloader again. Failing that, use cmd - see link

Cheers boss, wasn't aware of any issue - having not used the function before. Thanks for pointing it out
