Hi, frendz pls help me
I have unlocked my bootloader unofficial way without permission from xiaomi, with emmc_appsboot.mbn file replacing in fastboot ROM, now my question is, if i mistakenly flash official xiaomi fastboot ROM without removing emmc_apsboot.mbn file from ROM folder what will happen, will my redmi note 3 brick by this.
Flashing fastboot rom won't brick but flashing miui recovery roms without removing emmc_apsboot.mbn will brick your phone.

Hello guys,
I am using kenzo, and my bootloader is officially unlocked, today i tried flashing miui rom using miflash beta tool on my 32 bit system in fastboot mode, it shows flashing started and done in just 1-3 seconds and success message appears but when i flash using edl it successfully flashed.
Am i doing anything wrong? Or is there any other way of flash using fastboot mode (unlocked bootloader officially)?
Thanks in advance
Anybody, please........
Plz guys, please

You are not supposed to flash in fastboot mode!!!! For MiFlash to work, you need to get your phone into EDL (Emergency Download) Mode, the one in which the screen shows nothing and only the LED blinks in RED.
Connect your phone to PC in that EDL mode, and then open MiFlash. And as far as I remember, you need to have a 64-bit windows to run the latest MiFlash.
If u connected successfully, click on the Refresh button, and it will show something like COM1/COM2... etc. Then CLICK on Flash.
Have u tried with latest version of miflash tool..try it properly...?or u can flash it through cmd...just google it for the commands.. Try at ur own risk...I am happy with edl on miflash 15.something

I don't think there is any other way other than the EDL method for flashing official ROMs.
I just wanted to know that is there any method that helps flashing roms using unlocked bootloader because there are lot of guides on internet saying flash rom with locked bootloader so i wanted to know is there a plus point in flashing roms with unlocked bootloader
If you have unlocked BL you can flash via twrp or fastboot or EDL, so three options...
EDL if others two dont work
Look fastboot & recovery both are there for a reason,
What i feel the priority of recovery is 1st for flashing almost anything
(If Modem/Firmware or anything else seems to have causing the problem)
USE fastboot & if you are hardbricked or can't figure out what you are missing only then head over for EDL.
But don't EDL>>Fastboot>>Recovery
Now to address your questions more specifically
Loked Bootloaders are good for Security but not friendly when you are a TWRP addict on the other hand Un-Loked Bootloaders puts the responsibility of security on your hands allowing you to modify whatever partitions or files you want to change on system.
With a loked bootloader you may flash a rom but sooner or later you will realize its better to have it unloked if u love to be a tinker.

Hi, I used fastboot to boot TWRP without flashing it (using fastboot boot twrp.img). Foolishly of me when exit TWRP I was asked to disabled Stock Recovery wich I swiped yes. Now my stock recovery is gone. How do I enable it via TWRP again without having to flash it? or what are my options? phone functionlity was not afected, just the stock recovery.
thanks.
imho you either use twrp OR stock recovery. so in my opinion youve done all right.
Download fastboot image.. extract boot.img from it. Boot in TWRP using fastboot .. then install->install image->boot.img(file you extracted)->flash->choose recovery, not boot when where to flash->done.
If it doesn't work then flash the whole fastboot image with mitool.

I ended up flashing the whole image beacuse it bricked when using the command "fastboot oem lock".
any idea why it bricked? i did flash a stock recovery before in order to lock it again.
After rooting it im interested in locking the bootloader again. Maybe I skipped a procedure in order to lock the bootloader again??
Right now im rooted, phone working, stock recovery (since I flashed a fastboot image with SP tools) and unlocked bootloader but I want to lock it without bricking it again.
thanks.

To lock bootloader again you must flash stock image via fastboot with "lock bootloader" bat file (it is in stock image flashtool zip). But why U need to lock bootloader? i dont see sense to do it.

Hi, thanks for the answer, I want to lock it because some features got disabled when unlocking the bootloader, like xiaomis "Find mi Device". I also read that having the bootloader unlocked may compromise your data security.

Hello friends,
I was using the latest MIUI 9 (9.5.6.0 I think). Yesterday I got an update to 10.1.1.0 OTA.
I had unlocked bootloader, rooted device using Magisk and custom recovery(PitchBlack).
When I downloaded the update and clicked to reboot, it went to recovery and when it completed some process I clicked to reboot to system and I am now stuck with only MI.com logo with nothing else.
I read this thread - https://en.miui.com/thread-274589-1-1.html but I'm confused now since many threads are regarding with locked bootloader. I'm unsure if my bootloader is locked again or is still unlocked. I am afraid of anti-rollback feature if it has anything to do with my device because I don't want to hard brick it.
Also can someone link from where I can download the latest fastboot ROM, since from this link - http://en.miui.com/a-234.html I cannot download and also what is the extension of fastboot ROM (zip/tar)?
Can anyone please help me with a simple guide ?

Thanks for clarifying that bootloader is relocked.
Can I follow this procedure to flash in MiFlash - https://en.miui.com/a-234.html ?
Also can I choose "save user data" radio button instead of "clean all" to save my apps and data ?

Did u officially unlocked ur bootloader?
If u officially unlocked ur phone then check bootloader status using below fastboot command using pc.
fastboot oem device-info
If Unlock = false then its relocked.
Yes u can use userdata save option. But if device doesnt boot after mi flash then u must use clean all option.

Alright. So without EDL mode, I should follow this guide https://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Also which recovery do you use to have MIUI OTA updates ?
Do you recommend RedWolf or any other since zcx recovery is too old.

Thats correct. U can download fastboot tgz rom and follow those instruction fron official site.
If u want to stay on miui global rom then why u want twrp? U can update miui OTA using miui updater.
TWRP are for flashing custom roms. If u use twrp for flashing miui ota then u might put phone in bootloop again.

If u like miui and twrp both . then flash miui Eu ( europe) rom.
It is custom rom version of miui.
It is best and lightest. No unnecessary heavy bloated gapps. Only playstore.
Its certified by xiaomi. It is battery optimised and kernel tweaks and performance.
U can flash it using latest twrp 3.2.3. No relock of bootloader.
But first u recover ur device.

Hi, I write again here, sorry. Can anyone help me with the block bootloader procedure? I want to try custom roms and unlock bootloader is simple, but if I want to restore the phone like new, like when you open the box, what do I have to do? Anyone can help me step by step? Thank you so much
I have the bootloader unlocked and Stock rom official, to take advantage of the warranty what is the procedure to relock the bootloader. I read in this thread to fastboot and run: fastboot flash lock
Has no contraindications?
can you also use mi flash tool and flash_all_lock.sh script?
Thanks
Switch to partition A, run flash_all.bat from the latest fastboot rom, start the phone. If it boots correctly, lock the bootloader with fastboot flashing lock command or run flash_all_lock.bat
Thanks.

If you were able to switch partitions, then you did not lock your bootloader.
Reflash full stock Android 10 ROM, it might solve your wifi issues.
