Soft Bricked Mi Max 3 - General Questions and Answers

I recently soft bricked my mi max 3 by activating the anti rollback and locking the boot loader.
Currently i can access fastboot and the miui recovering menu. When trying to flash any rom I get error codes (Because my bootloader is locked)
I've heard that i can flash back to the previous rom installed on this phone but i have no idea what that was. When trying to unlock the bootloader i get an error about "Device not bound to this account"
I am wondering if my only option is to do the testpoint method but i havent been able to find any full tutorials on this.
Any and all help is appreciated

Bricked Pixel 2 - locked bootloader & no access to developer options - please help

Bricked Pixel 2 - locked bootloader & no access to developer options - please help
Hello guys, I just bought myself a Pixel 2 device today and decided to have a go at some changes: I've unlocked my bootloader of my Pixel 2 to perform TWRP flashing & Magisk installation and afterwards I decided to revert to stock.
The first step that I did when trying to revert to stock was to relock the bootloader via adb because I thought (big mistake) this will also revert everything to the factory image. Problem is right now the device isn't booting anymore (so I cannot change anything in developer settings and the bootloader is locked).
Fastboot does work now (I get an "FA8271A02780 fastboot" message when typing fastboot devices) but I cannot flash anything (it always says FAILED: remote Flashing unlock is not allowed.
I tried the Deuces script and UAF but they don't work (because my bootloader is locked). Given that I cannot unlock it, is there any way of flashing the stock image on my device? Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Sadly I don't believe so. Google doesn't allow us to flash anything without bootloader being unlocked. Other OEMs either have a program or allow you flash signed roms with a locked bootloader. For the trouble iTunes is at least you flash firmware through in the event of a Brick

Stuck in bootloop after flashing rom

I recently bought a Note 7 Pro wich is stuck in bootloop after flashing a rom. The guy couldn't give me that much details ...
What I encountered so far:
- might be chinese device (how can this be verified ?)
- bootloop to recovery with message: ... can't install this version "
- bootloader is locked at the moment / not sure if it was unlocked before
- Fastboot is accessible
- tried some updates via xiaomiadb - but without success.
--> China stable & developer recovery rom lead to errors: network carrier type different
--> Global V11 rom is accepted by tool but, leads again to bootloop with error message ...
Therefore I am not sure how to continue. Any hints ?
Thanks,
Oli

Hi, as u are saying that u stuck in bootloop in note 7 pro
Answer - the reason is that ur phone bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to flash any rom Or OEM image or else fastboot recovery image
Normally when phone stuck in bootloop we do flash via mi flash toot app using fastboot recovery image only.
Otherwise u will get error for sure ?
Now ur phone has a bootlock so u have to go to service centre and they will do recovery by opening back panel of phone and they will charge you around 350 plus tax if it is out of warranty

Had you applied for Bootloader unlocking? If you had using MI Unlock tool, then wait for the time being until the time period is over and unlock the bootloader. It may work. Also, if you have stock recovery you may confirm with others and install stable OTA updates for the ROM to see if it fixes the device.
No. I did not try to unlock the bootloader. I received the phone in that bootloop and only did one attempt to recover through xiaomiadb with mentioned error.
Is there no other way to escape except going to a shop ?

Stuck in EDL mode locked bootloader any way to flah rom?

Never unlocked or flashed a custom rom on my device since I got it a few years back so its always been on stock.
My phont turned off one night while I was using it aand sicne its been stuck in EDL mode.
Black screen won't boot etc.
Device Manager shows Qualcomm HD-USB QDLoader 9008
I tried diffrent roms and diffrent Mi Flash tools wioth no luck.
In the latest Mi flash I cant flash because of authorisation.
In previous versions I get Waiting for hello packet and Object referance not set to instance of object.
I tried the diffrent firehose files from online.
I am going to try Xiaomi.eu rom and see what happens.
But anyone had this before and can help me get the phone back up and running?
I had a custom ROM installed. One night I just typed "fastboot oem lock" without giving it much of a thought. Than, of course, the phone was bricked. It wouldn't boot and gave the error "The system was deleted" or something like this and since the bootloader was locked and all MiFlash couldn't flash.
The solution was simple. I just used Mi Unlock and it worked. The bootloader was unlocked again. I didn't think it would work.

Bricked device

Hi guys, my moto one hyper is bricked. Somehow trying to downgrade the phone I manage to brick it. It's not booting up, it keeps rebooting to fastboot. I can't flash stock ROM through commands. Every command I send fails because the bootloader is locked. I've tried this Motorola software rescue and smart assistant and it didn't find match to the phone. RSD Lite doesn't show the device. So I'm running out of solutions... Does anyone know another method? Something like EDL with QFIL IDK...(I've used that method with Lenovo phones)
Do you have locked the bootloader after upgrading and do you have upgraded to 11?
Do you have tried 'fastboot oem get_unlock_data' or 'fastboot oem unlock ...'?

Can't Flash TWRP

Hi friends, I own one Asus Zenfone max pro m1 and I recently wanted it's bootloader to be unlocked and I tried the unofficial method but didn't worked. So I chose the official method. It wasn't a good experience because I was successful after several attempts. Don't know why... But after installing and unintalling and then reinstalling the unlock tool several times somehow I managed to unlock the bootloader. Now it's showing fastboot mode instead of csc fastboot so I believe it's bootloader is unlocked.
But as I tried to flash twrp using Bugjaeger app from another phone(since I think I'm having issues with usb 3.0 port on my lap) it's showing "Flashing not allowed in Lock state".
How can I be sure to know if my bootloader is unlocked or not? And whatif I flash rom directly(using adb/fastboot) without twrp with Corvos OS? Will O be stuck on a boot loop?
I finally came to solve my problem by trying to unlock the bootloader again and again by official method. And after 3 attempts it was succesfully unlocked (unlocked properly). I could flash twrp without any difficulties and Im on Abhix Rog version now..
