I'm currently stuck waiting for xiaomi to properly add my device to their unlocking server, hopefully enabling me to unlock my bootloader. (I'm stuck at 50% during the unlock process)
My phone came with the factory installed China ROM. I then installed over this with the Global Stable fastboot ROM via EDL. Would it be possible to pre-root this fastboot image and flash via edl, enabling root with the bootloader still locked?
I am only wanting to root my device once unlocked, so thought this may be possible?
no dm verity in boot img in locked bootloader will refuse to boot your device.simply it will brick your device and end with a heavy paperweight and nothing

I flashed MIUI global stable rom on my rn4 snapdragon using twrp and bootloader was relocked. it is normal? It is safe to flash any rom with locked bl using twrp? can i unlock bl with mi unlock without xiaomi permission if unlocked officially first time?
system twrp and fastboot works normally and now i have custom rom restored from nandroid backup
Are you sure your bootloader got relocked?? Please check it through fastboot oem device-info command.

what do you mean about bootloader getting re locked? global builds only remove the custom recovery and dont lock the bootloader i guess.
Hi!
What happens if you don't have permission to unlock bootloader and you still try to do it using fastboot oem unlock on Xiaomi Phones?
I have already got the permission and I've rooted my phone, so I didn't really try it because I was simply afraid. Has anybody tested that?
Also, if I relock my bootloader again using fastboot oem lock, will I be able to unlock it using fastboot oem unlock or will I have to use MI tool?
Aaaand the last question - I haven't installed custom rom or TWRP - I booted TWRP using fastboot boot xxx.img, then installed SuperSU package. Is it dangerous to lock bootloader with phone rooted? Recovery is still stock, so ....
Hello!
Today i was trying to return to factory conditions on my mido (recovery, ROM, bootloader, etc) but i locked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" instead of doing it with miunlock.
Now i am unable to flash anything, from fastboot roms, to custom recoveries, to anything.
Is there any way i can try and revive my device? I tried using miflash, unlocking again with miunlock, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo
Try this
Boot into bootloader and then connect to pc install mi flash tool and then after downloading rom click on clean and lock
Solved by using miunlock version at this link http<colon><slash><slash>en<dot>miui<dot>com<slash>forum<dot>php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=204866&pid=
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully (amazingly!), flashed the fastboot rom with miflash and phone revived!
Hope this can be helpful to people with my same problem!
Hi, I'm stuck trying to return my Redmi Note 3 'Kate' to MIUI from cyanogenmod - have searched but this seems to be a niche issue!
A TWRP flash failed and somehow locked my bootloader so my current status is:
- cannot boot, gets stuck on cyanogenmod startup splash screen, so can't flash via MIUI which isn't installed
- cannot flash via MiFlash (locked bootloader)
- cannot unlock via Mi Unlock (account not associated with device and cannot boot to fix)
- cannot flash via XiaomiADB/FastbootTools as bootloader is locked (flash tz error)
- cannot flash via XiaomiADB as apparently my TWRP install is busted, goes straight to black screen and stays there, so I can't get to 'Recovery' mode
So I'm pretty stuck! I can get into Fastboot mode which is something. Maybe I could restore a stock recovery partition via some fastboot tools? but being locked maybe not.
Try unlocking it anyway. I've done it at least 20 times by now without having to login to Mi account on phone.

you legend, thanks so much for the tip.
I fixed a prior problem with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro where there was no recovery and only went to fastboot, Went to into EDL mode and fixed the problem...
I tried to flash TWRP custom on my phone. I had USB debugging on and OEM unlocked. i tried to go around having the bootloader locked and flashed a file specific for going around Xiaomi bootloader locks and having TWRP as the recovery. So i went into EDL again trying to flash TWRP and ended up having EDL on my phone "permanently". I cannot afford a new phone. I REALLY NEED HELP recovering my phone while also having TWRP as the new recovery... :crying:

Can you reboot back into recovery?
Why would you have the bootloader locked? You should unlock the bootloader.

No I can't go into recovery or fastboot. It's stuck in EDL mode...
The bootloader used to be unlocked but it somehow got locked while flashing the stock rom because i was recovering my device from a past brick.
Officially unlocking the bootloader takes too long and is too hard...
is anyone going to help me?
is anybody going to help me? I'll answer any question just please help me:crying:
