Once when i had redmi 3s. While flashing fastboot rom because i massed up some things when installing cus roms, i accidentally locked the bl again from flash tool. I get some errors in flash tool. So overall my bl by some way again get locked and i am not able to boot. So i made a edl cable at home and deep flashed the correct fast boot rom. After again 15 days about i unlocked bl again. So just curiously i asked is this method works for rn 7p also?

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.

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

If fastboot works, you might be able to unlock the bootloader using fastboot.

How to do it? I have the same probelm and some extra ones too(OEM unlocking not turned on and usb debugging is off).

Re-flash Stock ROM. Then enable USB-Debugging and OEM-unlock. Afterwards you can apply all the mods you want.

Question Redmi 8A Dual Flash

My device (Redmi 8A Dual) is on bootloop and im trying to flash it from the MiFlash Tool but i can't do it, it gets stuck on Authentication and I don't have any MI Account on this device please help. Thank You.

Are you able to get into recovery? What kind of authentication? I don't think you need an MI account to flash using MiFlash Tool.

Yes, I'm able to boot into Recovery but my phone is bootloader locked that's why it's asking for Mi Account Authentication in order to flash using MiFlash.

Bootloader locked is a bummer. You can't flash anything in fastboot. Now your only bet is EDL mode. And it requires someone with an MI authorized account. Try to take it to a service center.

You need to enter fastboot.
Remember the account used to unlock the device, it is exactly the same, I did it because I locked my olivewood on flashing firmware and had to solve it.

Question Allow oem unlocking option missing in developer options

So, i recently flashed arrow os 12.1 on my poco x4 pro (veux) using twrp. Flashing the rom removed twrp and now i cant flash it back because fastboot says that my bootloader is locked...
Of course, it isn't and the problem is that allow oem unlocking isn't on... I really would appreciate some help because i've been stuck on this rom for a day.
Gonna wait for some answers, thank you.

In the first place, flashing the rom shouldn't relock your bootloader. Can you please reboot to fastboot mode and use mi unlock tool with the same account you used to unlock bootloader first time.

Thank you for your response. Sadly i already tried that and the tool says that the phone is unlocked.
I'm trying to reflash stock rom via EDL mode, but i always get some error.
By the way, when using fastboot getvar command, it says that my bootloader is locked.
So, i recently bought a poco x4 pro (veux) and flashed a custom rom using twrp. Sadly, the rom's recovery managed to overwrite twrp and when i tried to flash twrp back, i could not flash it because fastboot said my bootloader wasn't unlocked. When i tried to unlock the phone again the xiaomi tool said that the bootloader was already unlocked. So, i used the getvar command which said that my bootloader was locked. So, i remembered that i didnt turn on allow oem unlocking in developer options. Sadly, when i looked for it the setting wasn't there. I tried using Edl mode to go back to stock but with no success. I always get some failed to read hello packet error. Can someone give me any help? Im kinda getting desperate...

Go to service centre if it is critical. I have never seen such case so i couldn't help. I am afraid that you would have to pay the service centre people money for reflashing your device.
Also have you tried flashing fastboot ROM (MIUI) through fastboot? Also try to flash stock recovery rom via the recovery you have now currently.
Another thing you could try is using the Xiaomi official flashing utility (which is not unlock tool) to flash stock rom which does not require OEM unlock.
