Big problems after bootloop

Hi all
Unfortunately, I'm having serious problems with my new Mi8, which arrived yesterday. It arrived with Global ROM and opened Bootloader.
Switch On, set up, data from the Mi6 pulled by NFC, all tutti. the Mi account I have connected here too.
Then I wanted to play the xiaomi.eu. TWRP installed via "Minimal adb and fastboot", installed via TWRP then the xiaomi.eu-ROM (newest). Has also worked. When setting up the point that I can play back via NFC what was not displayed, or I have overlooked him. Okay, again from the beginning, I thought. Have then reset the phone to factory settings to repeat the device.
Then the phone stuck in the bootloop. Again and again the Mi logo appeared and "unlocked", disappeared and came back, disappeared and came back. I did not get into the TWRP anymore, just into the fastboot.
On advice of different users on FB and another forum I should flash the Global ROM again over the MiFlash tool, which I did then also. Unfortunately I carelessly chose "Flash-and-Lock" and closed the boot loader. Unfortunately, this flash did not work and the phone now only starts in recovery mode 3.0
Due to the closed boot loader, it is not possible for me to install TWRP again, to flash another ROM with MiFlashTool. Also, the Unlock tool does not work, because I get the error message that the device is not linked to my account. I have also tried to install a recovery mod on the Xiaomi PC suite, as the bar remains on the PC but at 0%, on the phone remains the image with the pictured Mi8, after I in the recovery menu "Connect with MiAssistent "selected. Otherwise nothing happens.
With the latest version of the PC suite flashing works, but still boots the box in the recovery mode and the red font remains. Another user in the other forum said that I need the CN version, because on the CN device no EU-Rome is allowed. The CN version is rejected by the PC suite not get verified.
What else can I do. Do you have an idea that helps me getting the phone back on track?

This, for me, is the biggest joke of Xiaomi! Many users are getting stuck in this new policy! That does not exist! A total lack of respect for brand lovers. Let the developers figure out how to reverse this.

try CN Dev version, is latest and best,
forget xiaomi.eu rom lol, almost all they do you can do by yourself within minutes, uninstalling few chinese apps and get google works with googleinstaller_v3. and dev rom have root. just suggestion.

I tried the last cn-version, but the pc-suite dont verify this ROM and dont flash it.

Miflasher dont work, because the bootloader is locked.

To OP and the issue at hand, have you tried the fastboot image to install chinese stable or developer rom? That should flash and allow you to unlock bootloader again.
To the people whining about this policy of Xiaomi, you are buying a product for a different market. There is nothing wrong with their policy and you should wait for global version of the phone if you want global image with locked bootloader. It's a little like complaining that the chinese MMO you play over vpn doesn't have english menus. Well no, it's not for that market.

I tried only the chinese recovery rom for flashing with the pc-suite. The fastboot image, I can only flash with twrp or miflashtool, right? TWRP dont work, I cant boot in it. And miflashtool says, as I tried to flash the global rom, that it isnt allowed to erase a locked device.

Nah, the fastboot image flashes best in my experience if you unpack it, all the way. You will get some folders and .bat files. make sure you have fastboot in either PATH or same directory make sure fastboot detects the image and after that run the flash_all.bat and it should flash it.

That dont work, because the bootloader is locked. Fastboot says too, that it isnt allowed because the lock, same when I try to install twrp on the locked phone.

Could you reference a link or give me a little how to?
I tried a lot now:
- Installed a new Firmware trough Fastboot
- Using MsmDownload Tool
nothing helped so far.
So it would be great if you could assist in any way.

I done everything but my phone doesn't unlock so now I have the dm-verity warning and I can't do a clean flash with Miflash. Also Miflash Unlock doesn't work. What I can do now?

How can I do? Miflash says:
error:Writing 'crclist' FAILED (remote: 'not allowed in locked state')

bro you have relock bootloader, this is a fatal error. the only way is try to unlock with an mtk tool that do this via pc. you can find on internet. search unlock all mtk devices. i think there a link also on xda

Just realized that the M3 thread, my phone is a M4.

.

@simika how are you sending this question?

1. Hello friends, there are two ways to fix this problem, first you need Root, I read your Root tutorial, your tutorial is very good, and after using Root, you need to download any file manager, give Root Permissions, you need to backup your baseband, nvram nvdata nvcfg backup and save, you also need an MTK Bypass, you can search for MTK Auth Bypass Tool through Google, you also need to use SP Flash to flash the machine, you need to download the official firmware package, which can be downloaded from xiaomirom.com , download the corresponding version, use SP Flash to read your firmware package, after the reading is completed, choose to format all and download, wait for completion, press the power button after completion, you will find that the error has disappeared, but the baseband is lost, But you have backed up. Boot through fastboot to unlock the BL lock, perform fastboot flash nvram ....... fastboot flash nvdata ....... fastboot flash nvcfg ....... Fastboot reboot reboot. Congratulations The baseband is back, I'm a novice, my instructions are not comprehensive, such as where is the baseband location, but I have too many characters, I will list the baseband location. 2. Replace a new motherboard, all mobile phone problems are all solve.
Hope to help you.

Question Stuck and can't boot up the device

Well, I was on the weekly build of xiaomi.eu rom ( the device is the Chinese version) and I decided to flash the global ROM via mi flash tool. I chose the clear all and lock option to lock the bootloader. At first, after five minutes in the flashing process, it gave an error ( invalid write argument error or something like this). I tried to flash for the second time and it went fine and gave me a success in the flashing tool .
However, after the device has rebooted, it went straight to the stock recovery with an error saying can not install this software on this device ( however, I already installed this global ROM on the device with the exact same way). I tried to wipe data from the recovery and reboot but the same problem happened.
Now the problem is the bootloader is now locked. When I try to unlock it bootloader to try to flash the fastboot ROM again , it says I need to add a mi account to the device but I can not since I can not log to the device to add it.
I tried to unlock the bootloader using the fastboot commands but all failed.
Any advice what should be done to make it working again?
Thanks in advance for your help

Did you fix the checkpoint error before attempting to flash? What is your device? Global?

do u mean the first error appeared in the mi flash tool? if so, I did not. I just went straight to the second trial and according to the app, it was successful
The device is the Chinese version

You cannot block the bootloader with a global on Chinese version buddy. Also you should have fixed the checkpoint error before doing so to avoid this. Try to search on Google how to reunlock the bootloader from fastboot and no account bind, maybe you may find something. Try also to flash the chinese ROM, it may work, and fix the checkpoint error first

Well, It always state that my bootloader is locked when I try to flash any fastboot ROM with Mi flash or even try to unlock the bootloader

At this point you can only go into edl mode my friend. I do not understand how you even though of locking your bootloader on Global ROM having a China model. Unfortunately there seems not to be any way to unlock the bootloader without binding the account and to do that you need your phone to work

How to enter EDL mode? can I use it to flash any stock firmware? what kind of software needed ?

I'm not confident with the practice as I have never faced such situation. As far as I know you can't do it easily as you need engineering code to do so. There are people that can flash remotely your phone for you for money. But don't ask me who and how. Try to check Google first or YouTube and see if there is a way to do it yourself

I agree with xNAPx, however, if you can access fastboot (power button and volume down key), try using the MiUnlock tool again where you login with your Mi account. You might be able to unlock your account again as your device is aleady bound to your Mi account.

You might be able to unlock your account again as your device is aleady bound to your Mi account. Flashing in EDL will not work, it might with a China rom since this is a Chinese device, but don't count on it, as Xiaomi doesn't allow flashing in EDL mode or with a locked bootloader.

I don't think this is a chance as wiping data delete the Mi account binding (if you do so for example during the countdown for unlocking it reset the countdown). I don't think there is another option but EDL flash

EDL flash is the likely way forward at this stage. Search telegram or youtube for an authorized account. Should cost no more than $ 30-35.
I once was stuck in EDL mode (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-needed-i-think-i-bricked-my-phone.4301773/). This guy restored my phone for 35 USD.

So you must try to re unlock bootloader first. Your bootloader was unlocked before ?
If yes try to unlock again with Mi Unlock after that you must flash your fastboot rom from Xiaomi Flash Tool
I advise to flash your original fastboot firmware device (EEA, MIX, CN, etc...)

Question Bootloader

Hi recently I tried to install TWRP on my xiaomi 12 pro but instead it made my phone stuck on fastboot, I used mi flash to flash it to the normal rom but it said something about it being not supported so I picked wipe date on the phone and tried to install a different version but, now apparently the phone is locked and I do not know how to unlock it to flash it again. any help will be appreciated please.
Things I've tried
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flashing unlock
Mi flash - I cant flash because the device is locked and I have not logged in with a Mi account.

Which version?
So as not to make the same mistake again if we manage to save the phone.
Which TWRP and which command.
For Miflash you have probably left the flash and lock box checked.
If you could post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder)

I used this guide to install twrp
I put global rom instead of europe rom which came with my phone
I do have another xiaomi device I was wondering it I could somehow transfer the account to my bricked phone then flash it that way

Is the version of your phone Chinese with a Xiaomi EU rom?

I bought it from Here
It says in the description that 'The initial Chinese version has been updated to a global ROM.'
so I'm not sure when I got it I checked the rom and it said the Europe version I tried to update the version but when it was ready to install it said 'your device supports twrp' and I clicked ok to the instructions and when the device booted back up it was in recovery mode and I pressed restart and no updates were made.

post the Miflash log (Miflash log folder) so I can check what you did.
The log is between 20 and 25 KB and starts like this

As you have on my tutorial, this is the mistake not to do with a Chinese device.
Now to be sure, flash a Chinese rom with Miflash by checking the Clean all box.
Either the phone works again or not, Miflash will give you the error, surely 'lock state'

yes it says failed remote: erase is not allowed in lock state, im trying to get out of that mode I need help with that
