Hi. My friend has a Mi Mix 2S and he bought it as a Global Unlocked Version... Like always, it turned out to be a china specific device and he accidentally flashed global rom with miflash and it was set to "Clean and Lock"... Now the device keeps boot looping into recovery and says "This Miui version cannot be installed in this device"... I tried via test point but my account is not authorized. Is there any other unofficial way to recover my device without paying anymore to s-unlock or any other shady services? Regards, InfernoWolf19.

unfortunately, no. the only thing u can do is either bring it to a service centre or buy a new phone.

have you tried boot to bootloader and reflash China rom ? I think the miui package ended with tgz can be unzipped and run flash_all script from fastboot

So what happened was I ran into some issues with notifications not being pushed onto the phone. I thought it was a MIUI version problem, because previously I didn't have any problems with notifications, and it was only until after the latest MIUI 10.2.2.0 update that I ran into them. And so I decided to download the official MIUI v10.2.1.0 ROM from xiaomi's official website and tried to downgrade. Big mistake.
Now my phone is perpetually being stuck with the error message "The system has been destroyed". I really don't know what to do and I'm hoping someone here is able to help me with it. My Mix 3 is running MIUI v10.2.2.0 prior to the downgrade, and has the China ROM. Bootloader is locked too. Is there anything that I can do to kick the phone out of this status? If you need more information, I will gladly provide them. Will greatly appreciate any help that comes by. Thanks.
Checking your phone if it can get into bootloader.
If it can,just open the unlock application and unlock again.
And then you can use miflash to flash 10.2.1.0 on your device.
Hope I can help you

How do I know if the phone can get into bootloader? Sorry I'm pretty new to this bootloader thing. Honestly, this Mix 3 was my first ever Xiaomi device so I'm a bit unfamiliar with how it works.
If you meant holding down the Volume Down and Power button to access Fastboot mode, then yes, that's the only thing I have access to currently. Otherwise, no...

It should be possible to use fastboot to install a working official firmware. Was your device originally a Chinese ROM or Global ROM device?

It was originally Chinese ROM. So I guess flashing a Global ROM wouldn't work? Especially since the bootloader is locked.

But doesn't the bootloader have to be unlocked for a fastboot recovery?
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)
10.3.5.0 rom recovery and boot img file flash via fastboot and then try to unlock bootloader via internet the flash rom
Hello!
I have bought Poco X3 Indian Variant 1.5 years ago. I have all things that tell I m the rel owner of this device. After one month, i managed to unlock the bootloader by official method. From that time, I used various AOSP ROMS and sometimes custom MIUI ROMS. Sometimes i also flashed official stock rom from fastboot but i always choosed c"lear all" only. I did this when there was official stable update from the xiaomi. after flashing official fastboot rom, i just use the rom for couple of hours and immediately i flashed twrp and flashed latest AOSP ROMs cuz i had still unlocked BL.
1 month ago, I was on Arrow 12 ROM. I downloaded 12.5.8.0 indian fastboot rom and flashed via flash tool from mi. but this time i wrongly choosed "save userdata" option in the flash tool. i saw this while process was on. after successful completion, device rebooted to the system and asked for mi password to use the device. but my password didnt work. i checked the mi account and number but both are different from my own. i rebooted my device to the fastboot mode and tried to unlock the device, but it successfully unlocked my device. i checked in mi webite there was still my poco x3 attched in my account.
after unlock, i again flashed the same rom but this time i chosed "clear all" option and successfully flashed the rom and device rebooted but again i got new mi account that didnt associate with me. the registered mobile number starts with +1 but my country has +977.
i tried miui androi 10 rom from fastboot but same thing happened i.e. different mi account and mobile number.
till then i m using custom AOSP roms. last week i tried custom MIUI roms but it asked password for the same id that didnt belong to me.
i m using custom aosp roms these days (project sakura 5.2). I m going to sell the device so i want to flash official miui rom but i am not getting my own mi account after flashing any miui rom (both official and custom , both recovery and fastboot).
I still have unlocked BL. how cn i bypass the mi account and add my own account again so that i can sell this pcoc x3.
please help
Issue solved. i found original persist.img from the device which has no mi account logged in. i flashed this image and flashed miui custom rom and didnt get the device is locked message.
now i have successfully added my real own mi account and it is showing in the mi account info too
How did you load the persist.img file? You can't do this on a bootloader locked phone?

You need to unlock bootloader if you are trying to write system image through fastboot even with stock firmware
I recently bought a second-hand Redmi S2 phone. It was all I got. But the MIUI version was 9.5.1.0, which was very old. That's why I decided to upgrade my MIUI version.
When I tried to update with recovery ROM, it shows
Can't verify update
Current version is illegal, only allowed to flash the latest stable version
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I tried in fastboot, it says
Critical Partition Flashing is not allowed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I tried to unlock the critical partition, it says error. Today, I got a new problem. XiaoMiTool V2 shows my bootloader is locked, but my phone says unlocked on Miui unlock status in developer mode.
I don't know what to do. Some experts, please suggest me.
