when you have problems getting unlock code.. use DC unlocker.. worked fine for me

Need help, bought phone, it's on Global ROM but bootloader was relocked

So this is my second Mi Mix. I know my way around it a bit. Anyway I was trying to flash TWRP and it won't work. It appears the bootloader is locked. Apparently the original retailer who sold the phone flashed the global MIUI rom and then relocked the bootloader and reflashed the original recovery.
I have already requested to unlock through Xiaomi but I'm not sure if it will work being on this rom... once I get the text back from them that is.
I'm unable to flash the Chinese stock rom in MiFlash because the bootloader is locked. I've tried just about everything but it appears I'm stuck waiting on Xiaomi to send me the unlock text but my concern is that I won't be able to do it because I'm not on the stock rom.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You dont need to request for another unlock code. The unlock code is associated with your Mi Account, meaning you can unlock any Xiaomi device once you sign in with your Mi Account on the device. Once signed in, you just need to use the Unlocking app.
Considering this is your 2nd Mix, I'm assuming you had received an unlock code for the first one. If so, you're good to go. You just need to do as I mentioned above.
If you dont have an unlock code yet, once you've received it, the procedure is fairly simple. Just follow one of the guides here and you'll get to wherever you want,be it Official, EU or a custom ROM.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

The first one I bought already had the bootloader u locked so I don't have a code. Once I receive a reply from Xiaomi with a code will I be able to unlock even though it's on the global ROM and not stock?

Yes. once you have the code, you can unlock regardless of whatever ROM is installed on the device. FYI, my phone came with a Vendor ROM but locked bootloader just like yours. I don'"t think the Vendor relocked it. I'm assuming that Vendors receive signed Custom ROMs from Xiaomi which is then flashed by Vendors using stock recovery. If they have a signed ROM file, the bootloader doesnt have to be unlocked. It just installs like an update.

Didn't know you had to unlock bootloader for Chinese ROM with miflash, you sure it's not the way you unpacked the file.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it requires bootloader unlock. The first Mix I had was the 128gb version and I sold it last week. Before I sold it the guy wanted me to flash the chinese rom back and I did it using mi flash and it worked just fine. Used the exact same file this time and it won't work, it fails right off the bat. Also in the guide that's posted here for flashing the Chinese rom it says you need the bootloader unlocked.
I guess it's one of those things that people assume the bootloader is already unlocked if you're flashing the Chinese rom since you'd have to have unlocked it already to get off of that rom in the first place.
I'll just sit back and wait for my unlock code I guess. Hopefully they don't take the full 10 days to get back to me.

Vendor ROMS aren't signed or sanctioned by Xiaomi.
Given Xiaomi doesn't even produce a general Global ROM for some models of it's handsets (such as the Mix) because they only sell them in China, it would make little sense for them to then sign Vendor ROMs for such handsets given they're all but exclusively used by international sellers.

Is there a way to bootloader unlock a P10 on Oreo?

With huawei no longer providing a code , it looks like DC unlocker only supports android 7.x?

No I just unlocked my bootloader running Oreo with DC yesterday, it works great!

DC unlocker costs about 5 USD. So far it worked for many, but it may stop working in the future if Huawei manages to patch the opportunity they are using. You do get OTA's if you just unlock, but not anymore if you root or install twrp.
Openkirin makes good treble roms. Their website is very informative (openkirin.net) and the developers are active on the Telegram support channel.

I tried for my P10 and he asks me 15 €.
It's a little excessive because there is no guarantee of a good result

Isn't it there another easier way? goddammit huawei... Top 10 anime betrayals.

++ I have same problem with my P10. Actually i have written Huawei Global and Huawei Turkey to get bootloader unlock code; but they did not give that code because of "ensure customers have the best and safest possible experience". I will apply some legal procedures to give that code.

Which ones?

It's just poor for Huawei that they do this to their users.
If I buy something it's mine, it's not the property of the manufacturer anymore.
Even though Huawei added this regulation to their Eula it's just a flaw to their customers and for me a reason to tell everybody they shouldn't buy Huawei anymore. The P10 was my first and my last Huawei device.
I'm happy that I have my unlock code.
I have a little conspiracy: DC Phoenix is driven by Huawei to make some extra money for unlocking devices

Congrats about that but this is not my case, I'm on stock and wonder if I could unlock my bootloader with this people and I was not happy with open Kirin for example, I could go back to the same state of the phone I am now? I need to please that the answer is safe as I can not afford to buy another mobile. Now I have the VTR L09 8.0.0.375 c432 and and I've never done anything to the Phone.
With what service would you make a complete copy of the phone? I know it's two questions, but I need you to help me with the two, please. Thank you.

You need to backup your /system with TWRP before you flash an Open Kirin Rom.
After this you'll be able to go back but you still need to do a factory reset.
You also be aware that stock Android misses some nice features EMUI has like scrolling screenshot or flip cover support.

But I have not unlocked the bootloader, I'm on stock as a virgin, Can I make copy with twrp? How plz?

Without unlocking the bootloader you can't flash anything on your P10. You need to pay for DC Phoenix if you want to unlock or pray to holy Ren Zhengfei, maybe he listens to you and changes the Huawei policies as CEO...

So, the steps are : unlock, then can use twrp for a full backup or need root?, and finally follow the open kirin instructions for flashing a rom with magisk

Exactly. Did you ever used stock Android? It's not a great experience as you expect, maybe. I tried it for some weeks and turned back to EMUI after missing 100% functionality.

UpI used rr rom in a moto g 4g and I loved this rom, the look overall. I don't use flip covers and scrolling screenshot lucky for me. But what else you loose/miss changing to rr rom plz? And remember my question before about need root besides for backing up with twrp? Nfc works? Another three questions sorry?

1-Yes if you buy the phone its yours. Do whatever do you want to..sorry what you can do (with locked bootloader). The device is maybe yours, but the software isn´t. I repair phones for a friend of mine who has a mobile shop (seeling making repairs). I do only the software things (reflashing roms, unbricking devices, removing FRP, miaccount lock and so on) and 99,7% of coustomers don´t even know what android version they have and what is root. The rest (0,3%) are noobs who don´t understand what to do and they bricked their phone trying to root, instal magisk....
2-The problem is, that unlocking bootloader is matter of maybe 1% of all customers. Then 50% of this 1% claim warranty repair because they bricked their device. so why souhld Huawei deal with that, they just don´t allow unlocking bootloader and tha´t it.
3-DC Phoenix is driven by Huawei. It is some year known fact.

Even if it's just for 0,3% of all Android users it's a matter of Principe.
When I buy something it's mine. As you said, the software license is legally owned by the manufacturer but not the hardware. So, when I buyed a phone I should've the right to install a third party software to remove the ownership by the manufacturer.
When I buy a T-shirt I can modify it by myself as I want even if there's a logo visible, which is official linceses by the manufacturer who isn't allowed to forbid modifications on this T-shirt.

chinese rom with locked bootloader to global rom possible?

Hello all,
Yesterday I received a k20 pro from china with an unlocked bootloader.
I wanted to get rid of the spy/bloatware so i went and tried to install twrp to install another ROM, but for some reason TWRP flipped when i installed it (i think i forgot to turn off encryption) and just decided to stop working altogether. Recovery did not work anymore and so i was stuck in fastboot (bootlooping). After some stressfull googling i found out, the only way to get the phone working again is by flashing the (only) fastboot ROM, which was the chinese variant.
I was so stressed out, i forgot to change the flash option in xiaomi flash tool to "clean all" instead of "clean all and lock"(which is the default, fu Xiaomi).
So now my phone has a chinese ROM and the bootloader is locked.
So my question is:
Once i get the bootloader unlocked again (which will take 1 week hopefully), will i be able to install the global ROM (once it is released) or a better, a non-spying ROM?
Also, i tried debloating the chinese rom, but everytime i apparently debloat too much and the phone just stops working and i need to do a reset.
Does anyone have a proper list of xiaomi applications that are safe to remove (trough adb)? the ones i found remove too much.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, once you unlock your bootloader again, you can flash indian global firmware, which has less bloats, google apps and services included, and poco launcher.
For debloating cn rom, there is a tool here, I'll find and link.

May use this for debloating- https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools

Hi, this is the program that i've been using for removing the xiaomi apps, however when some of the listed apps are removed the phone won't be able to restart anymore and i have to do a reset.
For now, i manually removed all the removable spyware by hand and installed blokkada to deny communication to xiaomi servers. I don't dare to remove a lot of system apps trough adb anymore since i had to reset my phone 5 times already... i just want to use it now...

Just endure the pain until bootloader is unlocked again then move over to the Indian rom, its much more tolerable.

This is the safest option. Whilst waiting for bootloader unlocking I just uninstalled anything that could be and disabled anything else that could be disabled. There were still many things I wanted to remove that could not be uninstalled or disabled, but decided I could live with them for a week.
After your week is up, you've got many options. If you like MIUI but not the bloat and spyware, then there are MIUI custom ROMs that remove the junk, xiaomi.eu ROMs being one of the biggest. Otherwise there are AOSP based custom ROMs that are stable enough to use.

Hello, I have a cruel doubt. I was really wondering if after I unlock the bootloader (I have a Chinese rom) doing Global installation I can lock the bootloader? Because you have this possibility and I believe we received normally correct updates, can anyone help me?

NO.
If you try and lock the bootloader with anything that is not the original region you will hard brick the phone.
If you have a Chinese phone, then you can only lock the bootloader when installing an official Chinese ROM.

I think only the account used to unlock the blootloader can relock and re-reunlock it.
If you lock the phone, you won't be able to unlock it again with another account.
It is just a safety mechanism from xiaomi.

You don't need an account to lock the bootloader.
Provided that there is not a Mi account linked to a phone, then anyone who has the phone in their possession can unlock it.
When people have bought a phone already unlock, then accidentally locked it, they have been able to unlock it themselves if the seller has already unlinked the phone from the sellers Mi account

So basically it is possible, if one gets a k20 pro flashed with global rom, that if the seller forgets to remove his account from the phone, you're stuck using ONLY other roms? In other words, in order to relock the bootloader and install official chinese rom, you need to contact the seller and ask him to go on his mi account to remove your phone?

Yes there has been a few cases on these forums where this had happened.
However, you can still use official MIUI ROMs, you can still flash the Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader. The problem then is that you cannot unlock the bootloader again if the phone it's still linked to another account.
If you buy a Chinese phone with a global ROM, why would you then want to flash a Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader? You would be better off just buying the phone still with the Chinese ROM and locked, if that's what you wanted.
People have had problems because they've been flashing an official ROM with the Mi Flash Tool and accidentally left the flash option to flash and lock. When flashing with the Mi Flash Tool you just need to remember to change the default flash option every time you use it.
If you never relock the bootloader, then you will never have this problem and can still use official MIUI.

Thank you for the response. I could not find TWRP for this phone. The model is RMX2025. I couldn't unlock my phone's bootloader because the official "Bootloader Unlock Tool App" does not support this model... The lowest model it supports is rmx2051. Is there any other way to unlock bootloader on this phone? People say it's impossible...

Welcome. As far as I know there is only deep test app to unlock bootloader for RMX2051 model of X50 5G only. As long as Realme does not provide deep test app for RMX2025, there is no possible way to flash TWRP or any custom recovery. IMO Realme probably care the vendors rather than the end users so that they have their phones unable to be unlocked.
I sold my RMX2025 and RMX2144 already. Right now I have Redmi K30 5G which is basically the same platform specs as Realme X50 5G. Android devices give the users the ability to customize their devices over iOS devices. This is one of the major attractive points that I chose Android devices over the iOS devices. But some major phone manufacturers chose to remove this selling point.
Well...There may be some hope that Realme may give the deep test app that supports other models of their X50 5G later. But no idea when.

I contacted a Hindu Youtuber who makes videos about unlocking phones, and he said that he will soon post a video of how to unlock RMX2025. As for now, I have restored my phone to default settings and removed (or disabled) almost every Chinese app. Google Assistant still doesn't work but I can live without it

That would be very cool. Please uodate whenever he post the unlock video. I am looking forwards to watching this. This phone is good though. If I can unlock the phone, I will probably buy another RMX2025.
I have seen a post showing how to debloat this phoneas well. You may also look in some section of this phone forum for additional space.

have you tried changing region of your phone? to make it CN variant?
