XIAOMI Redmi Note 5 Pro [whyred] global fastboot ROMs bug

just to make sure no one getting the trouble i had. if you bought Xiaomi devices (not sure its the devices after Redmi 4a or every devices with miui 9.5) with the bootloader already unlocked by the seller or the distributor, make sure youre registering or linked your account to the device. because when whenever youre trying to install global fastboot ROMs with the lock option selected, the device will stuck at recovery with red notification at the bottom saying "the MIUI version cant be installed on this device". the thing is after youre installing fastboot ROMs and locking bootloader of your device, you cant install global fastboot ROMs no more and left with chinese fastboot ROMs or using TWRP. since youre locking your bootloader and if your mi account is not bound to your device, you cant unlock bootloader with the official unlocking tool (it will spit out error "current account is not bound to this device") and yes youre stuck with chinese fastboot rom. you can still bind your account after youre installing the chinese fastboot ROM and unlock your bootloader, but you still cant flash the global fastboot ROMs.
so heres my story for everyone who is experiencing the same issue
i bought my whyred with the bootloader unlocked from the seller/distributor (its a normal thing here, maybe) and i have no issue what so ever in first month i bought it. im changing ROMs with every custom ROMs i found until im bored and decided to installed global fastboot ROM then locking my bootloader. so im stuck on recovery with red notification at the bottom saying "the MIUI version cant be installed on this device" after i flashed my whyred with global fastboot ROM. i thought i was installed the wrong miui ROM, but no. since i locked my bootloader and i havent bind my mi account to the device yet i cannot install custom recovery and installed fastboot ROM no more. so i left with EDL mode then. i tried to enter EDL Mode with button combinations (since miui 9.5 this was disabled, cmiiw), deep flash cable (not working anymore), adb (well i flashed device and stuck, so i cant do adb), fastboot (nope, its locked) and i left with test point methode and this is the only working methode for you with the same situation.
so i flashed ten or so global fastboot ROMs i can find from different sources just in case i have a bad day. but nope, none was working. so i flashed chinese ROM and worked, i immediately tried to unlocked my bootloader but i now faced with 240 wating time. well i guest im stuck with chinese ROM for the next 10 days. the XDA and MIUI forum said that you should be able to flash global ROMs (not sure if this includes fastboot ROMs) again after unlocking your bootloader.

How to bind the phone with miui account. Explain the process in detail. Thank you.

Unlock the bootloader, Install a Custom Recovery and then clear the partitions, once that's done flash MIUI.
Also make sure to check our the PE forum for any precautionary measures before flashing back to MIUI.

Unlock the bootloader again and try to flash the Chinese stable rom if you're still having trouble..you can also try to flash the Chinese firmware..

No one can lock the BL again if u flashed PE and Hentai OS unless fastboot rom is flashed via edl. If u never installed PE and Hentai then u can lock it again.

Relock bootloader
Anyone can relock the bootloader after returning from any android 10 based rom except pixel experience and hentai os
Cuz both these two roms use another type of encryption format known as metadata encryption
But still, if you wanna relock then,
You can try a method which I m telling you
Procedure:
Flash miui 11 from custom recovery
Then flash stock recovery and vbmeta image
Then again clean flash miui11 via fastboot method with clean all and lock option enabled
Hope this method will works for you

Hi, I have reverted back from Oxygen OS ROM to MIUI 12 and locked my bootloader. Below are my steps that gave me the desired result
1. Flash miui 11 from custom recovery
2. Then flash stock recovery and vbmeta image
3. Now boot device into fastboot mode and connect to PC
4. Download and extract platform tools folder
5. Launch a powershell / CMD window in the platform tools folder by holding SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK
6. Now first run the command - "fastboot devices" to make sure device is detected
7. Now run the command - "fastboot oem lock"
That's it device will reboot and is now locked. Note that your data will be erased and you need to setup everything again

Wil this method will work for me if I flashed pixel experience rom before?

Tried all methods mentioned above still no luck stock rom has some problems like cts fail and device isn't certified in play store if you keep your bootloader unlocked . Everytime i try system gets destroyed.

Bootloader problem
try mi bootloader Unlocker tool to unlock it opens
In my case it worked

It seems like locking bootloader with custom ROMs installed bricks the device.
Fortunately you can still unlock it with the Mi bootloader unlocker.

I have two Redmi Note 7 Pro devices. (Global Devices - A.K.A Indian Variant)
first device is unlocked but no custom rom installed like ever
second device is unlocked with lots of custom rom history
While trying to relock my bootloader with MIFLASH (clean all and lock) and Global firmware 11.0.8
First device firmware flash worked perfectly and bootloader is set to lock state - (Widevine status is L1 )
Second device as stated in OP . Flashing success but device showing "SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED". If i unlock the bootloader of the device then it boots normally but device is in unlock state (widevine status L3)
I think some modifications might have happened to some system partitions which causes the VBMETA - SRCLIST check failure.
ANY DEVS PLEASE LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE ...
Yeah someone out there I"m trying to relock bootloader bcoz to get access to my corporate mails , netflix HD content and GPAY
(On other hand magisk is having CTS profile check failure as google changed the approach to check the unmodified system)

If you wanna lock your bootloader then don't untick the option, use MiFlash along with lock devide option. That should give you stock ROM and a locked bootloader, but don't try this on a custom ROM.

Its common sense bro that i can only flash stock miui rom through miflash and i did that only with clean all and lock option but it hasnt worked yet

There is no harm having unlocked bootloader with miui stock you still secured and still gets all updates pushed by Xiaomi.
I recently flashed rom miui by mi flash tool and with unlocked option on and as I started from fresh got latest update 11.8.0 hope so but you do one thing uninstall the mi flash tool and reinstall it then do the same steps again you will get successful

Yeah never said there's a problem..just that if you try it on a custom rom it will brick the device..

I have talked to some developers and they have said its happening to everybody due to some issue by Redmi side you cant rollback from anrdoid 10 custom rom to miui 11 android 9 based you have to wait till redmi releases miui 11 based on android 10 then you can lock the bootloader or you can use edl mode

Did you find any solution to this?

Even EDL mode isn't a solution.
One of my known violet user went to service center and they failed to revive the phone even from EDL flashing. At last they changed the mobo.
Hope this gets fixed after miui 12 with android 10 comes.
P.s : i lost all my hope of relocking the bootloader & i don't think so that android 10 update from Xiaomi will fix this.

Lets hope it gets fixed

I always use the fastboot method to restore original system. Works 100% of the time. It has scripts to flash stock without lock

Mi 7 system has been destroyed what can I do

FLASH STOCK ROM HAVING TWRP USING SP FLASH TOOL(OPPO F9 PRO)

I have an oppo f9 pro ,oppo phones after 2016 are not given fastboot binaries means impossible to access fastboot mode,so if i can't access fastboot mode i can't use it to unlock bootloader and hence i can't install cutom recoveries/roms,root phone .,etc. But i found a thread on XDA where someone was asking how to root OPPO f3 plus(qualcomm based,launched in 2017) and there were people telling that they have rooted it succesfully by flashing stock rom using MSM download tool but i think that rom was modified such that when that guy flashed it using msm tool he was able(AND BY ABLE I MEAN TWRP GOT INSTALLED AUTOMATICALLY) to install custom recovery (twrp recovery) just by flashing that stock rom and also the bootloader got unlocked in that process.
But my phone is baed on mediatek so i have to use sp flash tool ,but my question is that is it possible for me to do the same for my OPPO f9 pro,it has no fastboot mode which is the main problem as i can't unlock bootloader which i easily did in my mi phone using fastboot mode ,but since oppo phones don't have that mode ,it means bootloader can't be unlocked by this process ,but is it really possible to get the bootloader unlocked+twrp installed just by flashing stock rom of my device in it using sp flash tool , i don't know a lot but i think that guy just did something like modifying the stock rom in suck a way that flashing it installs the stock rom+twrp+unlocks bootloader
SO, IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME TO DO THAT I WOULD BE REALLY THANKFUL IM STRUGGLING FROMA LOT OF DAYS TO INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY AND HENCE DO WHATEVER I CAN WITH IT AND ALSO REGRETTING WHY I BOUGHT AN OPPO PHONE ,
THANK YOU SO MUCH PLZ HELP IF U CAN:
