Is it possible to flash Global rom on locked bootloader?

Hi,
Today I recieved my Mi 8, but it has the china ROM on it.
So my question is:
Is it possible to flash the Global ROM without unlocking bootloader?
Because unlocking of the bootloader will delete the userdata.

No don't do it. Check my thread or some others on this forum if you do it'll brick your device.

flashing official rom with locked bootloader

hey.
i want to purchase the chinese version of mi 8 and i wanted to know if it is possible by now to flash the global rom (official of couse) without unlocking the bootloader?
Sorry It´s not possible:
With locked bootloader it´s just: chinese phone -> chinese ROM
if you unlock and install global, you must keep it unlocked or it won´t boot (soft brick).

Global to Chinese ROM to lock Bootloader

Hello XDA users!
I've bough this wonderful MI8 from AliExpress.
It's a Chinese Market device, It arrived with global ROM and unlocked bootloader.
Since i want to use Google pay and other prohibited apps with the bootloader unlocked i am trying to clearly understand if flashing the Chinese official ROM and locking the bootloader again is a feasible thing or there are some risks? Will the phone be bricked? Will it not? Wich one is the best tool to do it? Where can i find the official Chinese rom?
Thank you!
you need to think twice. if you succeeded locking bootloader. xiaomi maybe not allowing you to unlock it again and ask for binded account
can't you try a safer way by xposed or magisk to hide root, unlocking and trick your apps?
I don't own this device so I can't help you alot

if you read the link: h***s://w**igeekphone.com/xiaomi-mi-8-what-to-do-if-you-receive-it-with-unlocked-bootloader-and-global-miui/
say: "ATTENSION !!! You must NOT lock your bootloader with stable version or it will brick your mobile! ONLY Chinese Developers Fastboot ROM."
and the seller tell me this:
"If you lock the bootloader, then must lock it with china rom.
If you lock it when there is global rom , it will brick .
If you need android pay , then better install rom from xiaomi.eu"
maybe with china dev fastboot rom don't brick the phone???
I install the china dev rom (IMPORTANT NOT the china stable rom) and lock the bootloader. The seller give me the password of the account vinculated to the phone and put it when I start the phone then I desvinculated the phone from the seller's account and put my account. Now I'm waiting 720h to unlock and install the last global rom (only "clean" not "clean and lock".
IT'S AT YOUR OWN RISK I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!! IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING DON'T DO IT!!!

Hi. I have a Mi 9 Se from China with global rom and unlocked bootloader. I’m pretending to flash Oeiginal Chinese Rom and lock bootloader. My phone came wit no mi account bind on it. Do I still need seller’s login and password? Or I can flash chines Rom with no worries?

Bootloader unlock global rom

I know this may be a stupid question but I'm looking to unlock the bootloader of my mi 8 global variant because I want to try a few different custom ROMs but I don't know if I will be able to relock the bootloader if I want to go back to the original Xiaomi firmware?
Any help will be appreciated
I heard flash back will brick the phone
Unlock china version and re-lock with global/xiaomi.eu/custom bricks the phone.
Yeah you should be fine to relock if it's a global device.
But I think you'll also have to wait another 360h or more to unlock it again
Global Version can relock!
Global Rom bricked the Device if you Relock it!
Must i wait if i would lock a relocked Global Version? Or can I use the Mi Account instead?
