Really ? I try this know
But how relock him when frp it's lock ? Fastboot don't work
Edit: so like I say fastboot don't work ....
i had the same problem only option was to use dc phoenix so you have to pay but maybe try red lotus but it think it wont work because you dont have the option to flash stock recovery.but maybe we should give you a twrp backup of system and boot then you could boot again

I paid 15€ on DC unlocker for erase frp but don't work.
Unlock and relock don't work
I can't use a backup or twrp because now I have stock recovery.
What can I do ???

- unlock the bootloader again via ADB

hello!
when you say "relock the bootloader via ADB you mean:
adb reboot-bootloader THEN fastboot oem lock (and the code)?
thanks.
EDIT: i was using the wrong command, it is fastboot oem relock and the code... sorry
HWOTA working and solved your problem.
just yesterday I made mine. the bootloader was open but the frp was closed.
the HWOTA has solved it nicely. now vtr-L29C432B185 firmware is up.
Unfortunately, this disadvantage is the low level format after the bootloader has been re-opened as the firmware closes.

Same problem.. and you can bug it to get locked, but won't help... my problem is that I got EMUI 8 with oreo, but also B172 rom flashed at the same time. So if I unlock it but FRP is lock, the phone won't boot to install because of rom.
I have the same issue, but i can´t turn on my phone to unlock OEM.
What can i do?
I also have same problem. I got frp unlock key from Huawey support, but it doesent help to unlock frp. Without it i cant unlock bootloader. Try a lot of things, nothing help. Tommorow i will go go service...
I got answer that motherboard is demage, and repair cost more than new phone....

Did you find any solution?
I have a Huawei P10 plus (VKY-L29). Tried all methods to bypass FRP to no success.
- Talkback (V7.3 - Therefore no luck)
- Emergency dialler (*#*#6130#*#*) not picking up as well as other dial codes in emergency dial
- Erecovery (cannot find any recovery files)
- Fastboot mode (phone restarts to Welcome screen soonest booted)
- Wifi (Connect to first Wifi and then forget this network and connect again to 2nd Wifi entering some manual details on the host/proxy and then connect again to force the phone to come up with the error message in order to access help) no luck
Am I missing something? has anyone had success already regarding the Huawei P10 Plus FRP bypass????

Bricked P9 FRP locked, Phone / Bootloader Locked HELP!

I've been trying to contact huawei for a couple of days, trying to get my p9 back to alive.
well let me explain how this is happened :
couple of days ago, I was on nougat firmware and few games that I play isn't optimized for nougat yet so I planned to downgrade to marshmallow via rollback and update.app package. First I install the rollback package via internal storage and its success, second, I rebooted phone and insert my sdcard to install update.app from official huawei and its say success then it rebooted itself after 100% flash. Then I realized that my phone isn't came to boot, I try to reboot again but no success getting to boot screen. I try to reflash the update.app thru dload mode but dload mode isn't boot anymore. trying to boot into erecovery but it never show up. Think I'm broke my recovery at this state. Then I try to boot into fastboot mode and its success. Unfortunately, It says frp locked and phone locked ( yes I formatted my phone on nougat earlier thinking that the cause of lag is maybe I dirty update it without clearing data etc like flashing firmware and I forgot to turn frp off )
This phone is mine and not stolen. I can provide you my google data and prove it with ss on my google account manager that this phone is already been bind to that account.
I wanna know how to turn frp lock off?
Trying to fastboot frp-erase but didn't solve my problem
Trying to fastboot frp-unlock but it ask me for a password (trying to insert bootloader unlock code but it says password matching failed)
Trying to flash anything but it says remote: command not allowed since my bootloader locked again due upgrading to nougat.
And, I dont want to pay for dc-phoenix since I want to learn myself how to do it from you guys
Thank you!
You won't learn anything, because your phone is ****ed up In real mess and you must pray even to recover it with DC phoenix ... and yes, you must pay them

Please help me revive my dead K20 pro! :(

Hey guys, I’ve purchased a k20 pro 6/128 variant here in Trinidad and Tobago from Let’s Talk phone company which imports phones and sell it here in Trinidad and Tobago. No one else sells the device here in my country.
When I opened my phone and started using it, I saw that it was the fake global rom which was installed on it. So I came onto here to try to flash the china firmware on it, which I did. After flashing the firmware on it, i installed twrp and wiped everything, data + cache + Dalvik Cache + System, then I flashed the EU firmware on it. After successfully flashing it I flashed magisk and some modules on it, and the phone worked GREAT! Then one day while using it the phone just shut down just like that and never booted back up. It stayed on the boot screen and did nothing!
So I tried reflashing the Chinese firmware with miflash, but this time I Accidentally RELOCKED bootloader, but when I first purchased the phone, the bootloader was already UNLOCKED. Miflash successfully flashed the chinese firmware v10.3.8.0 and the phone booted. I was RELIEVED! But after using it for a while, the phone started freezing! And their was a problem with the front camera! Somehow my front camera won't open properly, it kept saying "Can't open front camera, please calibrate".
And when I press Calibrate, popup cam goes up and down 3 times in a row and says "Can't calibrate".
So I went and request to unlock the bootloader and waited 168 hours, and in that 168 hours I left the phone untouched because it kept crashing and never boot back up unless if I go into recovery and wipe data. So I left the phone untouched for a whole week! Yesterday the waiting period came to an end and FINALLY I unlocked the bootloader! When I opened back up miflash I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED BOOTLOADER AGAIN!!!! :’( Now Mi unlock is saying that I need to wait 30 DAYS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER BEFORE I CAN TRY TO FIX MY PHONE AGAIN! Please help me. Is there any way to flash the firmware on a locked bootloader? i dont care which firmware it is, once my phone is working again.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated!
Only solution is to enter to edl mode by test point but its too risky or to get a mi account with edl authorization, wait till the end of 30 days and dont make the same error for 3 time.

I forgot to mention, after using miflash the last time, i flashed the indian global firmware on it using Miflash. The phone wont boot up past the recovery mode. It says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" in red. Tried wiping data but same results.
You have to unlock the bootloader and it will work again

1.Go to fastboot. try flash latest chineese fastbootrom.
doesnt work?
Then you only have choice for EDL mode flash.
But edl mode requires authentification anyway which in most case you do not own..
we need something solid edl flash method.. this is common&biggest xiaomi problem

Here are the list of things i've tried thus far:
1- Tried flashing china fastboot rom 10.3.8.0 with Miflash. No luck.
2- Tried unlocking bootloader with Mi unlock. Have to wait the 30 day period.
3- Tried unlocking bootloader with fastboot commands. Didn't work.
4- Tried flashing LR twrp and unofficial twrp, No luck as well.
I've sent an Email to [email protected] couple hours ago. Waiting to hear from them.
As for edl mode, i've no idea what it is or how to even start. If someone can guide me as to what to do, i'll try it. Appreciate all the feedback and help from y'all

I dont know how you can flash indian rom with locked bootloader.
Now there is only one method for you, open the back cover of the fone, do test point method, flash china fastboot firmware and unlock again.

EDL mode will not work untill you have a EDL Authorized account
I had already tried and it was a bad idea to open the back cover just stick with unlocking bootloader
EDL test point will not work because xaiomi made because no body should buy Chinese Varient phone and flash global rom ,and I don't understand exactly why xaiomi did this with EDL and bootloader
Opened up the back of my phone, found the edl mode test point, miflash recognizes the device and begins flashing then i get this error "cannot receive hello packet"

i said to you,i had faced the same issue,only unlocking the bootloader will help you
or you can try chinese mi pc suite,with english translator but you have to flash chinese recovery rom,
but im not sure it will work ,in my case it didnt work because it had base rom of indian varient
actually chinese and indian k20 pro are not the same
for example indian k20 pro dont have NFC
but chinese varient have nfc

Did you complete the flash ?and start the phone into miui? If there have some picture, it is best.
---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------
I have some ideas but I have not verified them. You can try to replace the recovery.img in china firmware for twrp and then fastboot flash on edl mode。if it can be done, dnot star it just into twrp and formatted data.
I will test this method on my old mi5 a little later.
To fix the front camera problem you'll have to flash the persist.img file of the 10.3.8 into the persist partition. It worked for me several times.
I accidentaly lock my bootloader, too, but I was able to unlock it right away
Don't worry mate, I had the same issue.
See this thread:

I got mine fixed, you just need someone with an authorised account to help you out.
You got this far! You are almost there! trust me.

Bricked CC9 from anti-rollback. Help with EDL flashing

I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.
Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !
Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

What kind of firmware are you trying to flash trough MiFlash ? recovery.zip or fastboot ? Can you take screenshots so people can know what is your issue ? Without screenshot no one will help you here !

I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.
This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.
If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9
Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Cant add Mi Account after flashing phone.

My device is redmi 4x. I tried to install a custom rom though TWRP recovery but however it started to bootloop. So i flashed the device and forgot to "Do Flash and unlock". After flashing i was unable to add mi account, for that reason I cant unlock the boatloader. And the fingerprint sensor, wifi, bluetooth, hotspot is not working as well and whenever i reboot the phone, it shows " Find device corrupted".
Now please someone help me about unlocking boatloader without mi account or adding the mi account. thanks

I think you can't bypass unlock bootloader whitout permission, you should re-flash your system
1. Re-flash your Miui ROM using fastboot method, in miflash select clean all (warning all your data will be lost)
2. Boot to system
3. Add you mi account
Here is the complete to use flashing using miflash
