Please help me to unbrick my phone !!!

Hello guys,
Last week i received my Redmi Note 7 Pro with india global rom inside with bootloader unlocked.
I tried to install TWRP and root but on every reboot it disappeared... So i decided to relock my bootloader , with fastboot oem lock, in order to make a clean unlock after that ... What a bad idea, my phone is now in boot loop in recovery mode with "this miui version can't be installed on this device" in Mi recovery.
ADB is working when i select Miassistant in Mirecovery , i can launch fastboot mode but it's impossible to flash anything beaucause my bootloader is now locked.
So i tried Mi Flash Unlock Tools to unlock my bootloader but it ask to me to change some parameters in MIUI ... Too bad my phone doesn't boot to MIUI !
So i tried the hard way with MIFlash with rom stock in EDL mode ... Too bad my MIUI account is not allowed to make it on my phone !!!
So i tried the hard way n°2 with QPST/QFIL in EDL mode with elf , xml files contained in rom stock (i tried india and china rom stock) ... To bad QFIL is crashing after "Wait for 3 seconds"...
Any ideas guys on how i can do to unbrick my phone ???
Many thanks to you.

Ok so you should have never locked the bootloader again as there were far better ways to do a clean install
Now since the bootloader is locked most system level changes aren't possible and in order for you to use the EDL method you need an authorised account (which isn't easy to get), Most Authorised Mi Service centres have one, try to visit one.
Most probably the last method you suggested doesnt work cos of the locked bootloader too... :-\

If anyone on 10.3.9 & facing bugs & want to downgrade then unlock bootloader & then download minimal adb toolkit extract it & copy the extracted fastboot rom files into minimal adb folder & then put your phone into fastboot mode & then run clear all & install.bat inside the extracted folder & wait for it to finish & you will be able to downgrade because you wont be able to downgrade with mi flash, its a tested process by me as i bricked my bootloader unlocked phone which was only going to fastboot mode, i recovered by this processprocess, but i am not sure if it will work with locked bootloader or not please check & confirm

Hello guys,
I managed to unbrick my phone by contacting Niksalsa who flashed my phone with CHINA ROM STOCK (GLOBAL DOESN'T WORK) and his xiaomi user account.

It won't work with a locked bootloader and flashing an older update without clearing the current MIUI will enable anti rollback protection which will brick your device and the only way to unlock it would be to use an authorised account available at service centres.

I also have this problem. Xiaomi is making a mistake by limiting edl to some accounts.

Please check with your phone note 7pro is having arb1 whereas if arb4 is there then only you cant downgrade like note 5pro, i downgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.3.7 only by unlocking bootloader by the given process, but mi flash is not working its gives error everytime

My note7pro is also running arb1 , but I'm not managing to follow your steps, there ir no clear all bat, only flash_all.bat When I run flash_all.bat, the output is only the contents.
How exactly did you run?

Anyway, i've tried to manually run the commands, and I get the output:
FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed in Lock State)

Boot.img file for T-Mobile OnePlus 8 IN2017

Is there a boot.img/patched boot.img file for the T-Mobile/Sprint OnePlus 8 IN2017 available? Currently running software version 10.5.7.IN55CB. I'm looking to root with Magisk but flashing Magisk with TWRP brought the phone into Qualcomm Crashdump mode.

No. You need global fw or custom ROM to get rid of T-Mobile tab and to perform local upgrades.

install TWRP in oneplus 8

I want to root my oneplus 8. install TWRP recovery.

Use fastboot to flash the TWRP image to recovery using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name of image].img
Keep in mind that this command will flash to your primary slot; if you'd like to flash it to both, replace "recovery" with "recovery_a" or "recovery_b", which are the names of the two partitions. Your bootloader also must be unlocked for this operation to work.
The link for the TWRP image can be found on XDA.

TWRP only works on Android 11. Not 12.
Android 12 can be rooted, its just a lengthier process

MSM is the only way to unbrick, try reinstalling all drivers in test mode and when driver signature is off

Hello!
I build Orangefox for the Oneplus 8t and 9r and I am now doing a unified build which will work
on Oneplus 8, 8t, 8 Pro, and 9r.
A new updated unified beta Version is here
Decryption might not work for Oneplus 8 and 8Pro yet but I will try to fix that in the next days!

Yes will do that as soon as I have added working decryption for Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro.
Actually decryption should already work for all OP8 series unified ROMs like Pixel Blaster and FlamingoOS which are unified for OP8 series and Op9r und using FbeV2 decryption method.

If you're on OOS 11 then you can use TWRP.
You cannot use TWRP on OOS 12.

I'm on android 11 but hardware version says 13

Is there any reason to use the boot.img over just twrp flashing magisk? Seems a little complicated to me and also there's no boot.ing for the kb2007

If TWRP wasn't available, then patching boot and then flashing is the only way to root.
What do you mean by "hardware version is 13"? Screenshot?

Yeah I'm on 11 nvm.
Do u know where I can find patched boot.img for the tmobile kb2007 model if twrp don't work?
And if it does I can just flash the magisk zip and be rooted

No ideas about finding a patched boot image.
In TWRP you can just flash the Magisk APK.

The T-Mobile to EU conversion lets you unlock bootloader without the unlock token from OnePlus website if you don't want to wait.

Let's you unlock bootloader like a normal OnePlus 8t after it's converted.
