I have applied to be able to unlock my boot loader time and time again, and i don't think its gonna happen.
Is anyone kind enough to let me use their Mi account if their Mi account can unlock phones bootloaders? I wont take your account or anything. Just need to use it to unlock my bootloader
You can unlock your bootloader without getting official permission.
Sorry I'm too lazy to find out the exact tutorial, but as far as I remember it works like this: Use Mi software on PC to flash an old version of MiUI ROM (that was published before bootloader was locked), then you can flash custom recovery and do whatever you want with it.

hi all,
anyone ever use mi mix 2s global rom with 5 digits version of miui ? example 9.5.4.0.0 . is it the real global stable rom ? i checked the phone was unlocked shown on the bottom when i turned on the phone. Can i just flash to other rom with miflash tool ??? seem the phone bootloader is unlocked.
thank you for the attention.
That and the fact it came unlocked sounds fishy. You can miflash a rom for sure. You'll want to find out if it's truly a global model as well because if its a China model you will brick the phone if you relock the bootloader with a global rom.

thank you for the replied.
seem its china model because the phone was unlocked...so how could i flash the rom if i want a global stable rom like the real global version of mix 2s ??? TWRP is the last method???
You can use miflash to flash global stable ROMs, they will work just fine, just DO NOT AT ALL attempt to relock the bootloader unless you are back on China stable.
Also watch miflash... Down the bottom right you have the flash, clean and flash, flash and lock etc. Absolutely make sure it is not on a lock option. It's easy to do there by accident if you don't check.

Immediately try to flash official global stable !!!!!!
Like it was said DO NOT lock bootloader until you do get on official rom
You phone came with 3rd party FAKE miui (yes thats the name of this rom) it may contain malware and all kind of bullsh*t
My first Mi 5 came with it, I studied it so trust me. Flash global stable!!
You can flash twrp via fastboot and then flash miui eu weekly, that a way to get rid of this nasty fake crap!!!

Dude don't tell him to lock the bootloader.
Chinese versions of the phone only work on global with the bootloader unlocked, If he locks it the phone won't boot and he won't have any way of installing the chinese rom because the mi account isn't bound. So he'll end up with a hardbrick that could only be fixed with a special mi account and EDL mode.
Tl;Dr DO NOT LOCK THE BOOTLOADER YOUR PHONE WILL BRICK

Thank you for the useful information, i will remember it.
Im now in FAKE miui rom, so i just need download the global stable rom and flash over this fake rom through Miflashtool? Will it relock the bootloader? Im still not sure if my phone bootloader is unlocked or not. But when i turned on, i see unlocked msg on the screen.

I wrote "DO NOT LOCK" can you read?
And how are you sure he is using the china version? Cause it came unlocked ?? Every version of the phone can come unlocked if a 3rd party was doing stuff on it...

When you flashing there are clean and lock, DO NOT CHOOSE lock
Tell us the whats on the back of the phone, the model ?
So, I ****ed up.
TL;DR: My device is locked with no way to unlock it.
Got it today, wanted to flash a ROM. So I install TWRP, all fine. I reset everything, also format, then of course my zip on internal storage is gone too. So I put it on a SD card and reboot the phone to recovery again. But I can't, because after wiping it just shows "system destroyed" or something. So I panic. Then I realize I can flash stock ROM via MI flash tool, do that, install TWRP again. But I still can't flash because the version is too low. So I decide to flash stock again, do an update and try again. But this time I forgot to turn off "clean and lock" in the MI flash tool. So now the bootloader is locked and no stock ROM is installed. So I try to use the MI unlock flash tool, add phone to account, but no, because I didn't sign it at first it won't let me unlock because "your account isn't associated with this device". And now I can't do anything.
Is there anything I can do now apart from this testpoint method? I don't really wanna take the back off, I'm afraid of breaking it. Also the next Xiami store is like 800km from me and I don't wanna send it back cause it already took 2 months here and I paid 60 euros to customs.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer me. Thanks in advance!

1. did u officially unlock bootloader?
2. can u access fastboot?
3. did u remove mi account after unlocking bootloader?
4. But this time I forgot to turn off "clean and lock" in the MI flash tool. So now the bootloader is locked and no stock ROM is installed
did you complete the flash process in MiFlash-Tool? or while flashing u plugged out usb?
If you have selected clean all & lock then your phone have booted to os, i think you locked the bootloader before flashing because bootloader lock command runs after firmware installation is complete

1. The bootloader was already unlocked as I got it.
2. I can boot into fastboot mode
3. I skipped adding it in the first place cause I never really wanted to use the stock software, it's too china for me
4. I flashed after wiping in TWRP, it "completed", as it didn't show completion but the phone rebooted to stock recovery and stayed there, displaying "this MIUI version can't be installed" or something like that.

That may be true, but maybe that's cause it didn't succeed in installing MIUI this time, see other comment to where it is now

since your phone is not associated with a mi account, u might need customer care support.
u said bootloader was already unlocked.
if u bought a used phone ask the original user for mi id+pass to unlock bootloader again

Ok since you have reached point where only a service centre visit can unlock it, I suggest you use an authorised account! I believe there are people online who accept payment in return for unlocking the bootloader (I have no idea how to find them tho, sorry)
These accounts are rare and are used by service centres to unlock bootloaders and stuff..and which TWRP did you even use? Use Peter's, the official one is **** and doesn't support decryption.

U should buy a deep flash cable or u may make it at home.(search on youtube). Clean flash stock fastboot rom from mi flash in edl (emergency download mode). It will flash successfully. Then set up a mi account ( may be cratate a new one to unlock the bl). Then give try to mi unlock tool.
Note - suggest to buy a deep flash cabel instead for home made.
U may done flashing in edl mode only because bl is locked now.
A year ago i also forget to deselect clean and lock option and locked my bl accidently but i used above method and get success.

Actually while flashing it locks the bootloader after complete installation is done, so might be you first locked the bootloader you can check the script in fastboot rom

Have you tried to unlock using mi unlock?
If the devices was unlocked officially, you should be able to unlock again immediately without asking for the permission.

how we can unlock phone without test point?
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hello. first of all you have to remove the back to be able to put the phone in edl mode. then you need to find someone with an account authorized to install a rom stock china for which you will have to pay. I paid $ 15. then you will need to associate the phone with your me account and unlock the bootloader. nothing else works. for a month I lost my nights trying dozens. until I paid everything was in vain. or you have the option of an authorized service, but I am convinced that it will cost you more. success.

If you're able to access to EDL mode, you should be able to flash using QFIL tools instead of MiFlash. Something like this
Hello all, I was stuck in recovery for some time and non of instructions were working for me, so I decide to flash stock rom via Mi Flash Tool.
I downloaded MiFlash20191206 and extract it I downloaded Xiaomi_Mi_Mix_3_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_20190118.0000.00_Global_9.0_XFT ROM and extract it, run Mi Flash, put the phone to fastboot. But when I flashed device I wrongly choose clean_all_lock. So I ended up with a locked bootloader. And when tried to boot MIUI I receive message:
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
So naturally, I tried to unlock bootloader with MiFlash unlock. Downloaded miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1108.44, extract it and run.
Login with my Mi Account and tried to unlock but ended up with the message:
"Please add your account in miui settings -> developer options -> mi unlock status"
Which would be easy to do but as I am not able to boot MIUI I am not able to go to settings.
So did I finally bricked my phone or is there some hope?
I haven't found myself in this predicament (I almost did, but interrupted the flash before it finished to stop the lock). You could try to fastboot the (assuming its a CN device) CN files over the top with it locked. It *should* allow that even if the BL is locked. Then you should be able to boot up, go through the unlock process again. I would see if you can find an older thread where someone did this, or see if you can find one in the Mix2s forums for advice. I know people have had this problem before and been able to fix it.
So in the end I solved it by going to local MiPoint and guys there were able to flash CN rom even with locked bootloader.
I asked them if they have authorized account, but they use some third party software. They did want to tell which, but I get some info that it is paid software and cost around 200 USD and also that they used Miracle xiaomi tool before for this, but now servers are busy and it's not usable anymore.
Any idea what's new software?

Hi, I installed the Xiaomi bootloader unlock tool to unlock F2 pro's bootloader and thinking it will say 15 days after clicking on unlock. It instantly unlocked the bootloader rather than waiting for 7 or 15 days.
Now I want to install Xiaomi. Eu from, but I have some questions making me confuse. These Questions are the following...
1:Since the bootloader is already unlocked, and I wanted to use the call recorder function as well, SHould I install Xiaomi.eu from or wait for android 11 in global rom.
2:I have heard people cellphone getting bricked by installing marufrino twrp. Should I wait for official twp recovery, or this recovery just work fine for flashing Xiaomi.eu rom
Kindly give me a suggestion, I am a newbie and need help.
3:any advice u want to give me as a newbie

U can install Indonesian rom if u want to have stock experience with miui message, dialer and contact. and u can lock bootloader on Indonesian rom also
