Hello , do not be tired
my phone is soft bricked and the installed custom ROM cant be run [ XIAOMI MI A3 ]
when I turn it on, it goes to the fastboot mode
can't go to the recovery mod [power+volome up]
OEM was not unlocked before this happened. that's why I can't unblock bootloader to flash by mi flash tools or install TWRP.
Please Help Me
If i understood corectly, you relocked the bootloader after flashing a custom rom?
Flashing a rom with a locked bootloader is not possible. Afaik, there's no rom for the mi a3 that support relocking the bootloader
there are too many variables to know what is the state of your device... i recomend you to use miflash tool to install stock rom (if you had android 10, flash android 10) and then try again to flash a custom rom... but this time unlock the bootloader and follow all the steps on the threads that show us how to install twrp or shrp.... good luck

I have snapdragon device( kenzo).. officially unlocked bootloader and installed cofface twrp.. currently on cm13.. want to revert back to global stable miui 8 , which is latest release... how to do that?? plz help..
1) flash akla twrp from ur present twrp
2) flash miui 8 global stable rom (1.19 gb)
3) reboot to fastboot mode
4) connect ur phone to pc and unlock the bootloader from mi unlock
5) reboot
Congrats, now you're in miui 8
There is no need to flash Alka twrp, cofface will be sufficient.
Also, no need to unlock the bootloader again if its already unlocked.
Just flash the correct version from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html through cofface twrp.
Also, dont forget to nand back up your current ROM.
Flashing the mi recovery rom through alka twrp relocks the bootloader, and that's why the device can't boot into miui after flashing.
Unlocking the bootloader solves this problem.
Both the methods are legit.
Up to you which one you'll choose.
I am not sure if simply unlocking the bootloader again solves the problem. I tried that and Miui would still enter the boot loop even after unlocking.
Hi! I have officially unlocked my bootloader.
Can I just follow this steps(no more no less) to go back to Stock MIUI?
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
i'm afraid because I read that it may cause a bootloop to Mi logo only
I have Redmi Note 3 SD. I applied for official unlock while phone was on MIUI stable 8.0.6.0 (Lollipop) , but I did not wait for permission and I unlocked unofficial and I upgraded to MIUI stable 8.1.1.0 (Marshmallow). Safe TWRP is installed and phone is rooted .
What to do now ? Should I continue with official unlock ? Could it be done if phone is already unlocked (unofficial) ?
Does it change anything significant ? I think I would prefer to be officially unlocked , so the bootloader doesn't ever lock again , but I am not sure if I can or if I should proceed from actual state .
Thanks
PS - Just checked Mi Unlock status in settings and it says - This device is locked !!! . But in Fastboot says bootloader unlock : true !!!
I'm in the same position, and I've sometimes considered unlocking officially. But, for the most part, I am happy with my unofficial unlock and worried that the official process will not work immediately, so I haven't bothered to officially unlock yet.
This would be the proper procedure for doing so, I believe.
1. Take a full backup in TWRP and be sure to copy it to a PC or somewhere separate from the phone. Also copy any important files from internal storage to a PC or some external storage.
2. Flash the latest China development rom using Miflash. (This would relock your phone).
3. Boot and log in with your Mi Account. Check in with "find my phone" to make sure Xiaomi knows you are logged in on your phone with your account.
4. Unlock via the official method using the Mi Unlock Tool... and pray that it doesn't get stuck at 50%. (If it does. Do "find my phone again" and try again later... and again later... etc. Sometimes it reportedly takes days. This is why I haven't bothered to do this yet.)
5. After officially unlocking, you could theoretically restore your TWRP backup (probably avoid restoring any weird partitions other than system and data in case it screws up your bootloader).

I followed this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtoeZg6K-z4&feature=youtu.be
Update - I tried unlocking official without flashing dev rom and relocking the phone - of course it didn't work because MiFlash could see the bootloader already unlocked . I will not bother anymore to unlock official if actual state of phone is safe for further custom roms .
Just to make sure - can someone advise if I can flash xiaomi.eu roms from Safe TWRP without worries ? Do I need to flash Universal boot img patcher too after I flash rom ?

I went through same path. Now on LAOS 14.1 . You can flash .. but do take backup of all partitions. Also do try to find what your FP sensor is. You may end up in issue like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3543397
Scroll though my other posts for more info.
The problem with Settings crashing , I solved by flashing Radon kernel - also FP is working with this kernel .
It looks like this Redmi Note 3 is much more prone to brick than Redmi 3 I used before. I went through quite a few bricks and failed flashes while unlocking and upgrading to Marshmallow .
With Redmi 3 , which I bought unlocked from Greece , I never had a single problem flashing custom roms - never used fastboot, edl , myflash , just TWRP .
So - no need to flash universal boot img patcher or anything else after flashing custom rom ?

Most guides say that you need the latest dev rom in order to unlock.
If you want to try with merely re-locked bootloader on your current rom, I believe maybe you can re-lock in fastboot?
"fastboot oem lock"
?

which rom should i flash, can device is locked message is gone after flashing ?
MIUI fastboot rom
Better Flash lineage os from somewhere in this guide section ,since even after flashing via mi flash fastboot ROM it requires u to enter mi ac details.or try to recover ur passwd from I.mi.com
flash miui 7 fastboot rom
Honestly say byebye to miui
Any other method? To avoid data loss and bypass lock
Firstly, I try to unlock the bootloader and flash cm14 rom with the unofficial method (without applying from the mi.com). Unfortunately, it becomes soft brick. then I make the deep flash cable to enter the 9008 mode and use mi flash tool to flash the miui rom in it. However, after successful flashing, the mobile either cannot open or just showing mi logo for forever. I have tried at least 10+ miui rom (global, chinese and develop with different versions). Even I exchange the recovery .img to try to enter the twrp, it still cannot enter, I duno what is the problem, finally, i download a Rom and flash it, I can enter the recovery (twrp) but still cannot enter the miui. Now I can flash cm14.1 in it. But I just wanna know why? i have searched many posts saying taht just enter 9008 mode and flash the miui rom and everything is ok, but what i get is bootloop or dead.

I did turn off on several trial of flashing, and the result is the same.
i am wondering if there is any lock by xiaomi to prevent flashing with the latest rom. That means after flashing the latest rom, your phone will be locked and no more other official rom can be flashed using 9008 method.
Hey guys, just bought my mi a3 and its awesome!! Do i need to unlock bootloader to flash stock rom using mi flash tool or adb command line?..
yes unlock bootloader will be safe for any brick
don't lock the bootloader.
when u flash with mi flash tool
use CLEAN ALL only.
there is tutorials in youtube check them.
