MI8 Brick

Hi there,
unfortunately I bricked my Mi8 during a ROM Flash. I could not see the options as they were "hidden" because of the resolution of my screen. And unfortunately the standard option seems to be "lock", so it did and now I cannot flash any ROM anymore.
Is the method with opening the phone and get in touch with a doggy service to unlock it still up date?
Is there anything I could do? Will Xiaomi help me if I write them an email?
Help would be much appreciated.

Well, not knowing what you flashed and how you did it, it's hard to give an advice.
Can you boot to recovery, fastboot?
If you want some "output" you have to give more "input".
Is you phone recognized if you connect it to the pc? Perhaps you can revive it with mi flash and a complete rom (tgz). Be aware of the danger of relock!

I know I did a mistake as i flashed it wrong as I did not choose the correct setting (just clean instead of clean and lock). I did not see the options when I did the flash as they were "hidden". The Bootloader is locked and therefore I cannot flash another ROM.
I can get into fastboot, no problem. But I cannot load a ROM (Bootloaderbis locked).
I do wonder if there is any way instead of opening the phone and get in touch with a commercial unlocker service.

Can't you simply use the bootloader unlock tool from MI?

Unfortunately not, it stops at the second point and tells me that this is not connected to my mi account.

Wipe data and try again. What's the issue with "resolution of screen"?

Why would the wipe help? I guess all data is errased anyway because iIflashed a fastbootrom via mi flasher. The problem was that a portion of the program (mi flasher) was hidden, the part on the bottom where you choose which flashmethod. Therefore standard is lock device and that happened...

I don't think your description of the issue is detailed enough for helping.

What else do you need to know?

Just try to unlock bootloader again. If it is not possible, you have to contact with someone who has Xiaomi account authorization.

Yeah, like the s unlock service. I think their my last chance after reading through the internet. Not looking forward to open my phone. pfffff...

I paid 12$ when my previous Redmi 6 pro was relocked after xiaomi.eu update. It is very sad that you must pay for authorization. Shame of Xiaomi.

Is your device a Global or Chinese device and how long ago did you buy it and where from? If the bootloader was unlocked when you attempted to flash whatever you flashed then it was unlocked by someones account. Are you saying that you did not unlock it?
If you did unlock it yourself, then you can unbrick it. If someone else unlock the bootloader you should try contacting that person to get their id and password to unlock the device again, and then you can remove their account from the device and replace it with yours.
Next
Since you have fastboot
You need to download the fastboot rom for whichever device you own. Also, your phone must be clean, you will lose all data.
Mi8 Global Rom: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1700346
Chinese Mi 8 Rom : http://www.miui.com/download-345.html
Unpack the Rom, on your desktop and then place your phone into EDL Mode or fastboot. - The fastboot Rom comes with the Fastboot flashall script, it will fully restore your phone to the a Stable Rom and Overwrite every partition..
If you unpack the rom and it unzips into a larger version of the rom, unpack the new unpacked larger version, it will unpack into a folder, inside the folder local the flashall.bat file and with the phone connected double click it and wait 5 to 10 minutes until it reboots by itself, you will see the screen to connect to wifi, and then to add you account credentials, enter credentials, enjoy your restored phone.

You don't, ( well not anymore) you only pay someone to unlock if you do not have your account bound to the device. The person that you would pay has a vendors master unlocking account, these are very limited and these people are mostly located in Russia and Vietnam.

Hi there,
that brings some light into the darkness, although I am did not completely understood all you wrote.
1. I bought the device used in Germany and it is the German version. It was unlocked and I installed Havoc OS which worked fine. Then I thought I should update Havoc OS and that'S what I did. This ended in a Bootloop. I went into the Recovery and it was kinda weird as it asked me in chinese to enter my pattern. I did and after that the touchscreen stopped working. Still could get into recovery and also install a new one via fastboot. But same problem. Then I googled and as I understood the solution to other people was an earlier MIUI ROM which I installed via the Mi Flash tool and here I am chosing the wrong selection for the flash and ending up in a brick.
2. I don't have the device connected to my MI account. So I guess I need someone with a vendor account? S Unlock also offers a software (one has still to pay) which works without the help of someone logging into and using e.g. Teamviewer. (at least that is their claim)
3. I cannot connect the device with MI flash and therefore no flash of a ROM is possible which brings me to
4. In any case, I for sure have to ****ing open the phone and play with the EDL Touchpoints? Right?
If one has any further ideas let me know, I am really fed up with this ****.

Okay that better explains your real issue
You had an issue with the lockscreen, which could had been resolved by removing encryption ( formatting user data ) by using ADB or using the Tool All in One. ) Unfortunately, you misunderstood what the issue was and flashed a rom without unchecking unlock bootloader.
Since the bootloader has been relocked, you may need the original account info that unlocked the bootloader. ( If it's still bound to the device) If possible contact the person that you bought the phone from and get their account, then you can use the steps that I listed above by placing the phone into EDL.
If you are asked for a Mi account password, after restoration, then the phone is absolutely still bound to the previous owners account.
You do not necessarily need to open the phone :
You can probably use ADB to place the phone into EDL mode : adb reboot edl
You can use an EDL cable Such as this one
On some phones it is possible to enter EDL by pressing and holding the power button and the volume up and down simultaneously, you can very that the phone is in EDL by connecting it to your PC then go to Control Panel/System/ports <<<< Here you will see port 9008, that means you are in EDL mode.
After installing fastboot rom via flash all.bat method
After connecting to WIFI, you may be asked for the Mi Cloud account (if linked) If so contact the previous owner for that account info, then once the phone has gone through setup, remove the account from the phone in settings/Backup ( It is also possible that the phone is not bound to a account) If no account is linked then you will be able to link a new account and then wait 72 to 360 hours to be able to re-unlock the bootloader.
If the phone is bound to a previous user,
The only option is to use a reputable service company who has a master unlock account. if this is indeed the case, you should try contact Xiaomi and see if they can recommend someplace close to where you live.
@berndbrecht
I just found out via the Mi-Globe website that a XDA member has an official Xiaomi Unlock account and the price is extremely fair: I would suggest contacting @NikSalsa
You can read the same article that I did here : https://mi-globe.com/unbrick-your-xiaomi-phone-without-authorized-mi-account/
Also, there are a couple of additional options listed , if you have trouble reaching NikSalsa

Bootloader re-locked

Hi everyone, some weeks ago I converted my A2 in 6X because I wanted to test MIUI. Yesterday, dealing with an update my phone get into a bootloop. Well, I used MiFlash to fix it but I selected "flash and lock" (yes, I know, I'm stupid).
The main thing is that I'm in a Chinese ROM with lock bootloader and when I try to unlock it I get error 86023.
I dont know what to do. I've thought about test point to flash Xiaomi.eu but I'm not sure bcause the bootloader is locked.
Someone with a posibble solution? Thanks

Welcome to the Club
Same thing happened to me.
You can now choose between China Developer or Stable.
I tried many progs and tutorials to unlock the bootloader but no way.
If you need GooglePlayStore, CalenderSync and ContactsSync:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489460
I'm now on stable V10.3.6.0.PDCCNXM and all is working quite well.

It didn't happened to me for myself, but I just asked this question to get better knowledge about bootloader stuffs:
As I understood the current problem is this:
You need to unlock your bootloader again, there is just (as much as I know) 2 ways to approach, which both of them will not help you:
1. Unlocking as a A2 : but your device is not a A2 anymore, so the device will not be unlocked by this method.
2. Unlocking as a 6x : but this one won't be successful either since the dedicated unlocking program asks for a real 6X device with a registered IMEI number by factory, which in your case is NOT.
So, you will be left just with the options that need no Unlocked Bootloader, as mentioned above, like Chinese Stable versions. ( That in my opinion it does NOT sound awful. )
(BTW, every day comes with new procedures, maybe you can find a new method to unlocked the bootloader again, there was times that many expertise told, after stucking in ARB4 trap, you just need to find a suitable Trash for your device!, but now we all know that there is plenty new ways to deal with it).

not the imei, it asks for 6x serial number which device is a2. you have to find someone who has authorized mi account to unlock this device. it is only way for now

Authorized Customer Services, or a friend who works there
It is very possible that they can restore your phone (and as well your bootloader) as what it was in factory.

Yes, exactly.

Hello my friends, i managed to unlock the bootloader of my converted A2/6X.
I tried several times to switch from stable china to developer china but from 9.8.15 to 9.9.3 no one worked.
After installing one of the developer roms, the phone only shows the boot screen for 2 seconds and turns off, with charger it boots endlessly or shows the green battery symbol after some minutes.
One thing that works, is using a rubber band to fix "Vol+" and connect phone via usb or charger, mostly after 5-10 minutes it will enter the "Miui-Recovery", then you can start "Mi-Assistent" in the "Miui-Recovery" and flash back the stable china, so luckily no need of EDL.
After flashing the last 9.9.3 rom and the phone was all screwed up, again. I tried the original "miflash_unlock-en-2.2.624.14" and it worked.
I have done this "thousand" times before with all available unlock tools I found but never succeeded before.
Download: miflash_unlock-en-2.2.624.14
https://xiaomifirmware.com/downloads/download-mi-unlock-2-2-624-14-windows/
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195916630
Now I tried to boot into recovery “fastboot boot twrp_wayne.img” but it didn't work, because the phone reboots or turns off after 2 seconds.
So I flashed the china stable via fastboot (worked), let it boot up, no setup, reboot to enter fastboot and flashed successful the orangefox-twrp.
Hope somebody can also unlock his bootloader or maybe it was just luck.

Amazing Dude. [emoji108][emoji108][emoji108][emoji108][emoji108] Congratulations.

Question I have a note 10 pro With a Mi account lock

I got this phone as a gift from my relative but its MI account locked(xiaomi frp) so I cant use it and my relatives just don't have access to their old account and phone number so I have no way of accessing the mi page and unlocking from there so anyone have a way to bypass this FRP or remove it? Please any help would be appreciated cuz I really need a phone and this would be very useful

Seeing some YouTube video suggestions. I wonder if there is a system app that can be updated via ADB that could resolve it?

MI account locked, or Google account locked? You can delete the Google account from the phone. You can wipe the ROM via Fastboot and reinstall it using a stock image source, then get a fresh shot at logging into MIUI, but not sure it is required. You have to type in the account details, it isn't automatic. I did it to unlock it but now I see it no longer is logged in. My suspicion is because of system updates, etc.

Google frp is simple to remove, As for Mi Account, seems to be happening a lot on here, surely the previous owner wouldve removed his details and accounts and reset the phone before passing on or selling. NOT saying yours is, but this usually very common with found or stolen phones, hence the need for security. If its Mi account locked your probably going to have to get in touch with Xiaomi and maybe pay for a service center to do it, but they absolutley will want proof of purchase or gift to ensure it is what it is and indeed not a stolen phone.

Places like CEX in the UK now wont buy 2nd hand phones unless thats been dealt with or icloud locked Iphones, but you are right, if someone is passing on a phone they really need to make sure all associated ownership is removed, Xiaomi compared to others seems to be an issue getting it resolved.

I assume you can't get into Recovery either? Any Xiaomi-created desktop tool will want you to log in. If it allows that, you could use different Xiaomi credentials. I know there is an ADB/Fastboot Xiaomi desktop tool but no experience if it will get you through a locked Fastboot.

Oh. Try wiping data, i.e. phone reset. If that doesn't help, it might be one of the system apps holding the Xiaomi acct. Since you can use ADB, that gives you a full ROM install capability. External SD will help for that. I do not have the ADB syntax handy. I have done this myself, but Googling will help. Recovery might allow you to connect to ADB via your PC, as well. You can isolate which Xiaomi app handles account verification and you could first try updating or removing it or wiping its data via ADB. The "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools.jar" shows all the ADB features it does manually, for which you can use ADB manually. Be prepared to update your desktop java/jre if you get an error launching the .jar with a double-click. You can also reveal the complete ADB syntax. The syntax includes "adb shell" plus other required syntax commands in an Admin command prompt. Google is your friend. Good luck.

uh no u cant install anything like twrp from the sideload(its not a full access adb)

Google should have some suggestions if someone else has an idea. I can't picture just sideload without full adb capability. Use an admin command prompt on your PC. Perhaps some info on how/why it became locked this way, even if the original owner can't or won't help, via Googling I mean. If some security feature in the phone was trippped, it might be intentional to keep you from using it, but I find it really hard to believe non-nubes can't just crack it.

The protection is there for a good reason, for both the owner and Xiaomi.
You can access EDL but you still need Xiaomi authorized service account to do anything in there. There's nothing you could do except go to Xiaomi service center along with complete materials of ownership that the real owner really cannot unlock it.
Some illegal box might be able to reset it via EDL, but beware their method is never guarantee worked and it might totally brick the phone.

If you have access to Cousin, all you need is his email. Then hopefully you can reset password and unlock it.
I am struggling with an ipad, same issue

Ok so I got it unlocked and bypassed the Google FRP as well but now I have MI unlock thing so I can use Fastboot to flash custom rom ofc I cant use MI account on the device so how will I unlock?

Question Disadvantages of Onlocking Bootlaoder

i ordered a X30 pro with CN ROM but the seller sent one with GLOBAL ROM installed . He agreed to revert from Global ROM to CN ROM but said that relocking the device would damage the phone.
I want to know if i revert the Bootloader unlocked phone to CN ROM , will i be able to use Netflix,Google Services and OTA updates?
Is there something i am missing out compared to the Bootloader Locked device with CN ROM?
I have an option to legally force him to replace the device, but it will be a loss for the local seller who procured it from china and i dont want to impact the poor guy's profits if there is no major feature i will be missing out.

Device can be returned to CN and relocked safely. As I am dumb enough not to notice that people repeatedly use my work to further grow their business I am not gonna post a link to the guide.
However: If you receive a Frankenstein device that was converted to global and then locked you can not unlock it again on your own and need people with the proper tools and edl mode probably.
The cleanest way is to receive an original device and then do the work yourself. You'll learn and you will only have yourself to blame if things go wrong.
Netflix, google service and ota's are all working on my relocked phone. Can not say how far Netflix is working but it does start (which it refused to do on global firmware)

@Killuminati91 RSA tool said my device is out of warranty I think he perceives the situation, but what he perceives is this: The situation i noticed in a few videos i watched on Youtube; Those who use this software box, that is, the software developers who made my device, take the device from fastboot mode to a so-called "factory mode" in order to write global software or imei change to Motorola devices, and do the operations that way. That mode also does not require the unlocked bootloader to perform these operations. In Factory mode, the screen is black, nothing is visible, but the box continues to perform operations Very interesting...

However: If you receive a Frankenstein device that was converted to global and then locked you can not unlock it again on your own and need people with the proper tools and edl mode probably.
The cleanest way is to receive an original device and then do the work yourself. You'll learn and you will only have yourself to blame if things go wrong.
Netflix, google service and ota's are all working on my relocked phone. Can not say how far Netflix is working but it does start (which it refused to do on global firmware)

Thanks for the reply and i absolutely understand your concern. But what if i return to CN ROM and leave the Bootloader unlocked? Will there still be Netflix, google service and ota working ? Will i be losing out on something apart from the manufacturer's warranty?

@Killuminati91 RSA tool said my device is out of warranty I think he perceives the situation, but what he perceives is this: The situation i noticed in a few videos i watched on Youtube; Those who use this software box, that is, the software developers who made my device, take the device from fastboot mode to a so-called "factory mode" in order to write global software or imei change to Motorola devices, and do the operations that way. That mode also does not require the unlocked bootloader to perform these operations. In Factory mode, the screen is black, nothing is visible, but the box continues to perform operations Very interesting...

Yeah that is EDL mode if im not mistaken. You can force it by bridging pins on the motherboard, but there must be other options to boot into it. (Xiaomi supported a certain USB cable that bridged the pins basically for a few devices). Its like a really low level flash mode.
@ragz85: I think netflix wont work with an open bootloader but I never did any research about it. There might be magisk modules that can fix it.
If your bootloader is open you bascially NEED root / magisk to fix problems like online banking, google certification and safetynet.
Root on the other hand seems to disable OTA updates. Not too sure because I am certain that I received an update after converting to RETEU with an unlocked bootloader but didnt get any more OTAs after that.
@iron maiden: The guy who fixed your phone might be able to do it. No other ideas here.

but I have a problem and it is that being blocked it does not let me pay with a card, it detects it as root, how is it possible?

I assume you already have the answers to your questions... I'll still leave it here for anyone who might be interested:
1 With unlocked bootloader, no matter the ROM version (EU, BR, CN) you will NOT have Netflix, HBOMax, or Disney (the ones I tested).
2 It is possible YES to lock the Bootloader again. With that you have Streaming services and you can use almost everything from Google. Except Assistant(OK Google) and Android Auto.
To carry out the Block follow https://rentry.org/edge30ultra-relock even without the backup (because I acquired it already unlocked) I managed.

I bought the moto edge x30 pro with the global ROM installed the same. Even though I don't have the backup of the original Chinese ROM that was on the cell phone, can I do the procedure with a Chinese ROM from the Lolinet site? After you blocked the bootloader again, the banking apps and Googlepay work normally? I want to do this but I'm not sure. If I dare to do it, what version of the Chinese ROM did you download?

Question Redmi note 10 5g mi account problem

I have a Redmi note 10 5g which I performed a factory reset - it booted back to the mi account screen and asked for password - the password was forgotten and the phone number is not accessible anymore because the sim is lost.
I have gone to the xiaomi site and submitted a request for a code with the information they asked for , but after 3 days have not received a SMS or any other contact from them.
the phone displays the unlocked symbol on boot
I can get the phone to fastboot and connect to windows computer running MiFlash and it will see the phone
can I just flash a 3rd party ROM with MiFlash and bypass/delete all the xiaomi account nonsense ?
or what are my options as a way forward to get this phone to a usable state ?
I have been reading the forums and lots of people seem to have had similar problems with their mi account but I have not seen a definitive solution posted that seems correct or else there is a lot of steps etc that seem to be jumbled or not explained neatly.
thanks for any help

There is an official removal of the account

You need to remove the Mi Lock via a paid server
by unlocking code (Offical remove)

ok - where do I find these paid server and how much do they cost ?

Unfortunately, unlocking will cost a lot
You need worldwide service

is this really the only answer ? why when I have access to the hardware , I am unable to do what I want ?
I own the phone , but it is basically a brick - I will attempt to get the phone number back with a new sim card from the teleco

If you restore the SIM card
Easily your device can be unlocked

I managed to get the phone number back from the telco and activated the phone
with the SIM card , I inserted into another phone and went to the xiaomi site , used the phone number and said I had lost the password - they sent me a confirmation code via SMS which then allowed me to change the password and then activate the phone with that password.
I started up the phone and went to settings -> Xiaomi account which showed that account was signed in on the phone
then I signed out of the account
this whole exercise has been a bit of an eye opener and makes me want to get a ASOP ROM onto the xiaomi phone as soon as possible - they make nice hardware for the prices , but this OS and the seeming need to access your data is a bad problem
many countries in the world have people who need to watch every bit of data their phone uses because of the cost , but so many of these companies have no qualms about just using a lot of it for their own gain - it is just immoral

Yes, since you have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot, you should be able to flash a 3rd party ROM.
