i did try this,
and tried fastboot.
none worked.
the issue as i understood from asus rog phones owners, is that tencent editions have 1 time unlock relock counter. and it was used when converted the frimware to global.
hence why unlock is troublesome.
i also heard that the same issue happened with ROG 3, and the had to wait to EDL firmware.
for visibility
Hey m8822,
Is this issue creating any problems for you?
For example, does this conversion from Tenscent to Global block the phone from receiving future OTAs?
I'd really appreciate your input because I am considering buying the ROG 5 from Aliexpress.
Same issue. Just can't root until someone drops some EDL firmware sadly.
do you know how to use edl firmware?. any link to detailed guide is appreciated

Yes but even with this EDL firmware you need a the EDL tool to flash it, so you can`t flash yourself or am I wrong?

Correct. Hopefully a tool is made sooner rather than later.

the frimware has cmd scripts , so it seems flashing it is as simple as running the scripts
i tried with raw firmware and it was simple. no real action form user

You have cn raw file for edl flash ? And this trick work?

to clarify this trick works for Asus Rog phone 3 and I don't have Rog 5 to test it.
Because when the sellers unlock and relock the phone after ww rom they mess up bootloader. Then when I flash the unbrink tool in edl mode after that the phone reboot into fastboot mode flash cn raw image phone start in original state. So after that unlock tool from Asus works normal. And then you can flash ww raw image again from fastboot mode. Maybe can happent for Rog 5.
But if your bootloader isn't mess up like mine you can easily flash raw cn rom(from faatboot mode) and try unlock tool..
I hope I helped.

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)

I have already answered this question in this thread. Read it carefully and be sure to use the Turkish MIUI variant. Basically your original MIUI version and variant to avoid a possible hard-brick.

Probably not. I don't know anyone who tried that and succeeded. The thing is, in an unlocked state, the Bootloader (HLOS to be exact) will ignore all errors that are related to custom firmware. Once locked again, you run the risk of a fatal error and will be transferred to EDL mode, which you can't get out from without a Xiaomi verified account (essentially hardbricking your device).
Tell you what, try doing this the opposite way. Lock the bootloader with the turkish 12.0.5.0 fastboot MIUI first, then try to flash the global version 12.0.7.0 through fastboot or recovery and see what happens. That way you don't risk a hardbrick (avoiding repair shop costs), you can always unlock again anyways.

As i've replied before i personally don't know and have not known a case where it succeeded. Why are you afraid of trying? Most will not help you with something if you don't try it yourself first, try it with your bootloader locked as is and if it doesn't work forget about unlocking and locking again.

I don't know if this will work or not. Try going to updater app and pressing download latest release. Then stop it and open internal storage. There should be a folder called downloaded_rom or something similar. Try placing the global rom recovery version there, delete the one that is there and see what happens. Maybe you can toggle update now or flash through MIUI recovery.
If does not work, then i can't help you further. Maybe others who have tried it can.
Hey everyone
I have an ROG Phone 5 Tencent version that I purchased on eBay that has the WW ROM installed. I read after the fact that I shouldn't have bought one like this, but I'm stuck with it now.
I've rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader, but now I want to put it back to the way it was by relocking the bootloader and installing the default raw WW image. Is there an easy way to undo everything I did and get it back to the way it was when I got it?
Thanks!
Hope everyone is staying safe!

Hi, thanks , hope you are safe as well.
in my humble inexperienced view
you should do the following.
1- backup everything.
2- download Raw firmware.
3- flash Raw firmware (Removes root)
4- relock the bootloader via adb/fastboot commands (you may not get another chance to unlock straightforwardly, there are shady ways but nothing on the surface as of yet)
here is this guy who has gone through the whole process.
he also has provided the raw files. I have flashed them my self so they should be fine.
Part 1 , Part 2
Stay safe.

use raw firmware. in fastboot. if ou can not boot into fastboot you need edl unbrick. which is nt eyt available
File on MEGA
mega.nz
in fastboot open this file. flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd.
it should install ra firmware and format the device.
I tried to downgrade my device from 12.5.5 to 12.0.2 without unlocking bootloader and without using pc ( i have done this before but didnt happen this) now my device keep rrestarting to poco logo in every two second nothing else happen how can i recover this. I can go to fastboot
I suggest you flash stock ROM with Miflash from fastboot, unlock bootloader and start again.
