Hi, guys. Such an unpleasant thing happened to me today. I have received my new xiaomi mi 9... But it has came with unlocked bootloader so i have locked it. And when i locked it then the phone got stuck on the recovery mode saying "this miui version can't be installed on this device" but it already came with this MIUI i did not change nothing i just wanted to lock the bootloader. Now i am bricked and i can't do nothing, i have tried to wipe all data, but did not help...

Thank you very much for help. I have read both but unfortunately i can not UNLOCK my bootloader… when i was trying to unlock the bootloader through MI UNLOCK, it says "Current account is not bound to this device". Otherwise if this was succesful and i could unlock it, then it would be easy i believe.

Since you locked the boot loader, you'd have to flash (with fastboot) using the same flavor of miui which was installed. (example: chinese or eu variation), otherwise you won't be able to boot.

Yes, that i understood… There was EU variation with unlocked bootloader, which i do not know why, but okay…
But now i can not unlock it, it says, when i try to unlock it though fastboot with mi unlock, it says "Current acount is not bound to this device, ADD your acount and device in MIUI"s setting > developer options> mi unlock status.. but obviously i can not do it since i can not turn on my phone, its stuck on recovery mode.

When i choosed "my device is bricked i want to unbrick it" it says, this option is not available yet..

I can help you
First of all you need chinese mi assistant
Second you need try three versions of roms(eeu , china , global) but im pretty sure that your phone is chinese version that bought from gray market and they unlock bootloader to install global rom
After you download these tell me, i guide you
Be sure download recovery rom (not fastboot)
It has .zip extension not tgz

If you know how to sideload the rom then everything is become okay dont worry
After successful debrick you must bound you mi account to your phone and wait for bl unlock then reflash with mi flash tool and global rom
AND DONT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AGAIN

Yes, unfortunately i do not know how to sidload the rom... But when i have Chinese rom downloaded then what do i do with that? I connect the phone through mi assistant and there it can be flashed?

I had the same thing happen. You need to force a firmware flash ?
I had someone on xda recommend an excellent recovery tool.
It's called 'miflashpro'. It can be hard to find the English version. I did eventually but actually unbricked my Mi9 with the Italian version.
99% chance your cell can be fixed this way

bricked too
I'm having the same problem here, after wipe in twrp mode my phone restart and i'm blocked on bootloader screen.

I did the same thing with a Mi CC9 relocked the bootloader by mistake thinking it was like any other android phone. Did you have a Xiaomi account associated with the phone and signed into after enabling oem unlock in developer options.
If tha'ts the case you can use https://en.miui.com/unlock/ tool from where but it checks your phone number to see whether its associated with mi unlock.
Otherwise you will have to use EDL method which involves disassembling back of phone and shorting out two pins to initialize EDL data transfer but you need a EDL associated account this (belief xiaomi has revoked everyone access to these)

If you are still stuck, try to install the fastboot EU ROM or install TWRP and flash the EU stable or weekly. With the Chinese version it requires you to connect with your sim to compare imea number and account phone number. The EU version doesn't ask. It might get you out of a fix.
Just be warned that if your phone was affected by the radio going off during any official proceedure, you may have corrupted your persist.img file. I'm not sure if there is any way back if you have other than may be an EDL reflash or a trip to a service center. If you are really stuck, go down the EU ROM first, then EDL before sending it off unless you can claim on its warranty.

No, u must wait

what if you create a new mi account and login with it and try to unlock again? anyone tried before?

Maibe if U put another sim. Even so, imei remains the same. I think phone data will be recognised by XI if U try to make another account.

Mi 9T Pro cannot boot and cannot unlock.

This is Mi 9T Pro but i ain't sure which version is that.
So basically i have an issue that the phone won't boot after my dad updated the device.
I tried to flash the ROM but apparently i flashed the wrong rom and by accident i even locked the bootloader.
The phone's state is Locked
I can't boot to ROM
I try to unlock it with Mi Unlock Tool but it ask to add account to MIUI Settings and ofc it's unaccassable.
I try to unlock it from fastboot and no success.
If anyone can help me with a solution, I'll be very grateful.

Mi 8 se unlocked bootloader help

Hello there,
A very bad thing happened to me unintentionally. I request your help in this matter.
I think I made two mistakes while flashing the rom on my Mi 8 SE phone. My 1st mistake was throwing chinese rom. My second mistake is that the phone locked the bootloader while flashing.
Now the phone turns on but there is no network. I cannot unlock the Bootloader because there is no mobile network. Because when I say unlock bootloader from developer options, it asks me to turn off wifi and connect with mobile. But I can't use mobile data because there is no network. I thought I'd assign a modem file, because the bootloader is unlocked, I can't install twrp with fastboot either. I look forward to your immediate opinion on this matter. Thank you.

I am sorry to hear that,you can buy a Chinese phone card

[HELP!] Redmi Note 9 BOOTLOOPING

A friend of mine has a Redmi note 9 (merlin), his device recently got into a bootloop, and he can't really use it anymore. He's not a technical person, so he hasn't unlocked the bootloader or messed with it in any sort of way..
My first question is, how did the device get into the bootloop? Is it due to a hardware defect, or did the software just randomly get corrupted?
My second question is, how will i reflash the stock ROM? I know that in order to fix this, I'll need to flash the stock ROM to the device, but the bootloader is locked, so how can I do this? Does Xiaomi have a tool to reflash stock even with a locked bootloader? Or do I need to flash it as an update via an sdcard or something? Does fastboot work on xiaomi devices with a locked bootloader? If so, should I flash the image using fastboot? How would I go about doing that?
I'm quite experienced with Custom ROMs and Recoveries, but I've never had to reflash a stock rom before, so I'm a total newbie to this. If anyone here could help me out, then my friend and I would both greatly appreciate it!

You can flash safely using fastboot, even with locked bootloader.
Official MIUI has signed images, so them will be flashed without issues.
If you can't enter in fastboot, the spflashtool is the only solution.
Good luck.

Ah, its VD171. You know a lot about this device, do you know why it began to bootloop in the first place?

Only who caused that knows.

Alright, apparently I misread his message. He says that the phone is stuck on the Redmi screen, not the MIUI screen. Doesn't this mean that it's stuck on the bootloader, as its not reaching the MIUI screen, so it must not be bootlooping. He says he took it to a repair shop, and they claim that it is a ram/motherboard fault. I doubt that this is likely, could anyone help me with this matter?
I can think of three posibilities:
1. It is stuck on the MIUI screen, but he is calling that the Redmi screen.
2. He HAS messed up his device himself, probably wiped the OS, and now is stuck on a loop at the Redmi screen.
3. It is actually a fault in the phone.
