Why is it so important to choose "flash_all" command in mi tool while unlocking bootloader via unoffical way.
Can't we unlock the bootloader by the same way by selecting "flash_all_except_storage" command in miflash tool?

To relock the bootloader, just flash an official miui fastboot rom via miflash and you're done....
If you have unlocked officially, you can just unlock your bootloader anytime without asking permission from xiaomi again...
If you have unlocked your device unofficially, repeat the steps you did for unlocking your device or unlock officially.....

I see many asking how to Relock Bootloader, especially those who had unlocked unofficially.

The steps to be followed are following:
(1) Turn on USB debugging for your phone;
Go to Settings -- About Phone --> Touch 7 times on "MIUI version" to Enable Developer Options.
Now go to Settings - Additional Settings - Developer Options --> USB debugging.
Enable USB Debugging and Connect to PC.
(2) Download Fastboot ROM (file extension .tgz or .tar) from
Code:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
(3) Boot into EDL
adb devices (to check it's connected)
adb reboot edl
(4) Use MI Flash Tool to Flash the Fastboot ROM
One done it will be locked... To relock follow same steps as done earlier - either official or unofficial
I had followed this unofficial method to unlock my Redmi note 3 Kenzo edition.
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...ggcMAA&usg=AFQjCNFjB7vUV3kw05OKkntRn5Qgc5gqEQ
After this I entered into fastboot mode and flashed twrp recovery. It says that flashing is successful.
Just after that step all rooting methods contain a step to type FASTBOOT BOOT recovery.IMG But when I type the command and hit the enter key, it says that the recovery
image is unsigned and step is unsuccessful.
What is the problem actually ? How do I know whether the bootloader is unlocked or not ? If unlocked then suggest some alternatives for installing TWRP. I cannot unlock it officially as there is some problem regarding the email account linked with the Mi account.
Requesting immediate assistance.....

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!
