Hello
I wanted to report something strange that happened today
2 weeks ago I buyed the Xiaomi pad 5 (nabu) to replace my mother's one (galaxy tab 3) getting very old anyway
After receiving it and setting it up I discovered that I wasn't able to install Netflix because the bootloader was unlocked
And the ROM installed was the golbal version
So the stuuuuuupid me just relocked the bootloader through fastboot and ended up with a bricked device unable to boot the system and rebooting to on recovery to say that's it can't boot on this miui version
Couldn't flash with mi flashtool can't unlock the bootloader as mi account wasn't binded on the tablet
The only solution I've found is to pay someone with edl authorised account to flash China ROM or unlock bootloader
After trying a bunch of softwares I decided to give up and wait to get payed so I can afford a service to unlock the tablet
Doing so I have let the tablet booted in fastboot (can't find a way to turn it off)
And miraculously today I have found the tablet booted in the system like nothing happend
All data where erased and frp lock was on i've set up the tablet binded mi account and now I have to wait for the 168h cool down to unlock
So was that a bug ? How did the tablet boot into the system with locked bootloader on global ROM ?
And why now it won't boot on system again ?
I think the original ROM was 13.0.5.0
But when it booted it was on version 13.0.3.0
What do you think about it ?
Sorry for that crappy English I'm french
Your english is quite good.
Not sure, but it probably decided it was somehow stuck and automatically rebooted to the other partition.

Dear Developers,
I have quite outstanding problem, I think the only at the forum. I have purchased "Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus" 6/128Gb phone, but I have received "Mi 5s Plus" hardware with "Mi 5s" firmware installed (and fake chineese version in addition (Global Stable 8.0.10.0.0 MAGCNDH). Model number is shown like "Mi 5s", memory volume and CPU speed is as expected, but the battery shows 3100mAh instead of 3800mAh, and the most disappointing thing is that the camera is not working at all (when starting says "Camera Error: can't connect to camera. Try restarting your device" (of course, it doesn't help...). The Seller does not respond (purchased in China via AliExpress).
I think all the above mentioned issues are coming because the firmware does not correspond to the hardware.
So, finally after reading the local forums I have understood that I have to reinstall the firmware to official Global Stable version (8.0.1.0) or to chineese stable (???). There are 2 ways: unlocking the bootloader (it is locked unfortunately) and install via fastboot with MiFlash utility or with locked bootloader using the EDL mode using the same MiFlash. But there are a lot of cases on local forum (but nearly 2 month ago) that after reflash in EDL mode the device become a brick (boot-loop).
So, my questions are the following. What are your sugestions in which way to proceed faster and more safe? Which firmware is more safe to try first in my case: global or chineese? Because on local forum it is written that to use EDL mode I need official english-chineese version to be preinstalled. What do you think about it? For me is not fully clear what will happen in EDL mode? Will bootloader also be overwritten or not? If everything is overwritten then why there are so many bricks/bootloops happened after using this mode with fake chineese firmware?
I have already requested permission to unlock bootloader, but there is no respond from xiaomi since 3 days already... hopefully because of New Year holidays (but in China?... strange...).
Also I have prepared an engineering cable to have possibility to enter EDL mode in case of bricking/bootloop. But I need your suggestion how to get rid of possible problems in my special case.
Many thanks in advance!
Heya,
The easiest way would be to download the global ROM from http://en.miui.com/download-315.html and flash it in the phone settings (about phone, firmrware upgrade, menu, choose ROM). I had the exact same "fake" ROM and had no problems flashing the official one.
Cheers!
*Edit* also, if you use the the MIUI-suite program and download the "fastboot image", bootloader, recovery, system and sdcard will be wiped (just tried)... flashing from the phone settings chould wipe aswell but never checked.

I have already tried to flash via about the phone with downloaded ROMs (recovery image), it says "cannot verify the package" and does not proceed... Looks like because bootloader is locked.
Mi PC Suite program cannot connect to phone at all. Tried different version, also chineese one.
And I tried different ROMs (stable global, stable chineese) - no result...
You are able to flash an official ROM with locked bootloader so it seems your phone actually thinks it's a Mi 5s, wich complicates things. Could you try downloading a Mi 5s official ROM and see if it still complains about verification?
The chineese version of Mi PC suit should work with Mi 5s plus but you have to put phone in fastbootmode for it to connect, volume down + power when whone is off.
If your phone has the wrong bootloader you might have to wait for BL unlock to force flash your the Mi 5s plus ROM.... or just flash twrp and flash whatever ROM you want

Good idea about "Mi 5s" global stable, thanks, will be interesting to try (a little bit later).
And I didn't know that Mi PC Suite should be connected in fastboot - another thank you!
By the moment I've got the unlocking approval, so I'm going to proceed in a way with unlocking of bootloader as more safe way by my opinion.
Many thanks for your help!
Hi, I bought a Mi 9 SE, and I saw it was the chinese version with the global rom (so it was unlocked).
because of this GPay wasn't working so I tried to instal twrp and magisk. The twrp I found couldn't decrypt the phone data and I didnt want to lose my data so I tried sideloading the magisk zip...
This was a bad idea beacuse the phone couldn't boot normally. I finally found a twrp version that can decrypt the phone. Then a installe magisk from the phone but it wasn't working (probably i ****ed up something in the first try)
I then try to flash with Mi Flash tool the global ROM.... but I didn't notice the "clean all and lock" was checked by default... (damn you xiaomi). So now it cannot boot with the error "this miui version can't be installed on this device"
Because i didn't unlock the bootloader myself I cannot unlock it with mi Flash Unlock tool....
Is there a way I can fix it without EDL??
For what I have found, for EDL I need the test points and maybe an account with edl permission?
Also I don't want to open the phone becuase is new.
Looks like there is no other way if bootloader does not open.you need an authorized account for edl.
Try fastboot oem unlock xd
Hello, I have this problem, bricked and locked bootloader.
I can't unlock with MiUnlock tool because I can't access to seetings in the device.
The device is ever turning into recovery and they are a message in red that says ¨This MIUI version can't be installed on this device¨
Anybody knows a way to bypass the bootloader or unlock it in this terms?

I have solved it flashing a chinese rom instead global rom.
Good time of day!
I have the same problem… I mistakenly flashed the Mi flash firmware of my Rn8 Pro, with subsequent blocking (I forgot to check), which absolutely could not be done with a ROM phone from China. The phone went to bootlop. The following attempts to flash the phone with Mi flash end with a message that the phone has a blocked bootloader. SP flash flashes successfully, but the bootlop problem remains…Is there any solution to restore the phone..? Sincerely.
same issue.
Hi everybody,
I recently tried to downgrade from 12.5.5.0 to 12.0.2.0 recovery version.
It was not a good idea since phone does not start any more and has a black screen no matter what I do.
But it can access fastboot mode...
My question:
Its locked unfortunately and I cannot access it anymore since it does not boot.
Is it possible to flash ANY Rom to it?
I tried it with several ROMs but Miflash tool always blocks the procedure since phone is locked...
Is there a ROM for the Mi 11 Lite 4G that is accepted by the MiFlash tool in locked state?

The problem is not the ROM version to be accepted but your device itself, due to the locked status it refuses to accept any partition to be flashed.
This same principle doesn't matter in EDL mode, but XM11 (and most of, if not all, Xiaomi devices) require of an authorized account for Mi Flash tool.
If you at least did bind your Mi account and started the process to unlock bootloader, then you still can do this.
Did you fixed the problem? If yes, how?

@SubwayChamp already mentioned how one'd go about it:
- If the phone was bound to the owner's Mi account, starting a bootloader unlock process and if it is able to go forward, it could then be restored to a working state.
- Perhaps... sideloading a full recovery ROM if access to the stock recovery and Mi Assistant were an option, although just like with EDL, I'm guessing some sort of authorization takes place (it used to several years ago).
- Take the phone to a service center and plead one's case, they could be willing to flash the device with an official build, although if it were me I'd require proof of ownership at least.
- Resort to a 3rd party service / app that deals in auth. EDL flashes for money.
That's about it, these days there's not even a point in opening a device to access the test points.
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
