hello, im new in this forum.
i have a mi mix 2s and i wanted to unlock it. mi unlock tool said: device already unlocked..
so I started the flash tool with a global and I think i forgot to switch from "clean all and lock" to "clean all"
so the phone booted in the recovery and said "this version cant be installed on this device"
now I cant do anything...i tried with
- Xiaomi Tool (doesnt works because of usb debugging isnt enabled)
-xiaomi unlock tool says i have to sign in to my account on the device
-Xiomi flash tool (Erase boot error), i tried the official gloabl and china
-adb mode knows my device but no flashing
A friend says there is now software on it. but i dont know
I CAN go to fastboot and i can go to the recovery 3.0
PLS help me! Thank you so much
Try to flash twrp, do factory reset with encryption. Then flash rom with adb sideload
If you have the XE model (which is the Chinese model) and locked your bootloader after flashing the Global ROM your phone is bricked. The Chinese model can't boot up the Global ROM with a locked bootloader. If that's what you did I don't think there is a solution. You need to unlock the bootloader again but if the unlock tool doesn't work I don't know of another option with these phones.

There was a case like this in the miui forum. The guy there contacted xiaomi support and with their help he could unlock the bootloader without signing in
@sidofido
Do I need usb Debugging for your method?
Usb Debugging does not works
@Flatric
Okay so I send an email to the Support.
Thank you very much, Im happy for every answer

That's apparently true but there were also at least a half dozen people who contacted Xiaomi Support after reading that and reported that they received no help. They are currently trying to get the name of the specific support person who unlocked the bootloader.
That doesnt Sound good... Where can I get Support? I Used [email protected], is that the right way?

There are threads about this issue on the MIUI Forum. Someone else said today that Xiaomi Support bound his account to his device which allowed him to use the Unlock Tool. It seems to be very hit or miss in regards to getting somebody in support who understands the issue. You should really go to the Xiaomi Forum for the MI Mix 2S. Only Xiaomi can help you and you will get better information there regarding this issue.
I want to flash my Mix 2s from Android P back to Miui 9.5. I purchased the phone with P already installed, does anyone know how I can flash it successfully? I am new at this. my phone says unlocked underneath the xiaomi name when I turn it on so I think its unlocked bootloader? but its not rooted any help would be greatly appreciated

You might be able to fix your issue by flashing the ROM using the MI PC Suite Beta program. That program allows you to flash a ROM when the bootloader is locked but I don't know much about it. Someone in a similar situation as you claimed he got his phone running again using that program.

Using the MI Flash Tool on your computer is probably the easiest way. Download the latest stable ROM if you want to go back to MIUI 9.5. You need the MI Flash version that ends in extension tgz--not the fastboot version which is a zip file. Uncompress the tgz file, put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your computer, open the MI Flash Tool on your computer with administrative access. It should detect your phone. If it doesn't I think there is a refresh button. After your phone is detected point the program to the location of the uncompressed ROM folder. Before you flash look at the options at the very bottom. The default will relock your bootloader so you might want to change that. When you hit flash the tool does everything automatically and returns your phone to stock MIUI.
So..... Miui Support says I have to go to the seller....
The guy in miui forum who solved said, he just tried the latest unlock tool and it works.
I Tried lots of Tools, the latest too and it doesnt Work.
So my Phone is destroyed now?

hi, any success?
hi all,
anyone ever use mi mix 2s global rom with 5 digits version of miui ? example 9.5.4.0.0 . is it the real global stable rom ? i checked the phone was unlocked shown on the bottom when i turned on the phone. Can i just flash to other rom with miflash tool ??? seem the phone bootloader is unlocked.
thank you for the attention.
That and the fact it came unlocked sounds fishy. You can miflash a rom for sure. You'll want to find out if it's truly a global model as well because if its a China model you will brick the phone if you relock the bootloader with a global rom.

thank you for the replied.
seem its china model because the phone was unlocked...so how could i flash the rom if i want a global stable rom like the real global version of mix 2s ??? TWRP is the last method???
You can use miflash to flash global stable ROMs, they will work just fine, just DO NOT AT ALL attempt to relock the bootloader unless you are back on China stable.
Also watch miflash... Down the bottom right you have the flash, clean and flash, flash and lock etc. Absolutely make sure it is not on a lock option. It's easy to do there by accident if you don't check.

Immediately try to flash official global stable !!!!!!
Like it was said DO NOT lock bootloader until you do get on official rom
You phone came with 3rd party FAKE miui (yes thats the name of this rom) it may contain malware and all kind of bullsh*t
My first Mi 5 came with it, I studied it so trust me. Flash global stable!!
You can flash twrp via fastboot and then flash miui eu weekly, that a way to get rid of this nasty fake crap!!!

Dude don't tell him to lock the bootloader.
Chinese versions of the phone only work on global with the bootloader unlocked, If he locks it the phone won't boot and he won't have any way of installing the chinese rom because the mi account isn't bound. So he'll end up with a hardbrick that could only be fixed with a special mi account and EDL mode.
Tl;Dr DO NOT LOCK THE BOOTLOADER YOUR PHONE WILL BRICK

Thank you for the useful information, i will remember it.
Im now in FAKE miui rom, so i just need download the global stable rom and flash over this fake rom through Miflashtool? Will it relock the bootloader? Im still not sure if my phone bootloader is unlocked or not. But when i turned on, i see unlocked msg on the screen.

I wrote "DO NOT LOCK" can you read?
And how are you sure he is using the china version? Cause it came unlocked ?? Every version of the phone can come unlocked if a 3rd party was doing stuff on it...

When you flashing there are clean and lock, DO NOT CHOOSE lock
Tell us the whats on the back of the phone, the model ?
So, I ****ed up.
TL;DR: My device is locked with no way to unlock it.
Got it today, wanted to flash a ROM. So I install TWRP, all fine. I reset everything, also format, then of course my zip on internal storage is gone too. So I put it on a SD card and reboot the phone to recovery again. But I can't, because after wiping it just shows "system destroyed" or something. So I panic. Then I realize I can flash stock ROM via MI flash tool, do that, install TWRP again. But I still can't flash because the version is too low. So I decide to flash stock again, do an update and try again. But this time I forgot to turn off "clean and lock" in the MI flash tool. So now the bootloader is locked and no stock ROM is installed. So I try to use the MI unlock flash tool, add phone to account, but no, because I didn't sign it at first it won't let me unlock because "your account isn't associated with this device". And now I can't do anything.
Is there anything I can do now apart from this testpoint method? I don't really wanna take the back off, I'm afraid of breaking it. Also the next Xiami store is like 800km from me and I don't wanna send it back cause it already took 2 months here and I paid 60 euros to customs.
I would really appreciate any help you could offer me. Thanks in advance!

1. did u officially unlock bootloader?
2. can u access fastboot?
3. did u remove mi account after unlocking bootloader?
4. But this time I forgot to turn off "clean and lock" in the MI flash tool. So now the bootloader is locked and no stock ROM is installed
did you complete the flash process in MiFlash-Tool? or while flashing u plugged out usb?
If you have selected clean all & lock then your phone have booted to os, i think you locked the bootloader before flashing because bootloader lock command runs after firmware installation is complete

1. The bootloader was already unlocked as I got it.
2. I can boot into fastboot mode
3. I skipped adding it in the first place cause I never really wanted to use the stock software, it's too china for me
4. I flashed after wiping in TWRP, it "completed", as it didn't show completion but the phone rebooted to stock recovery and stayed there, displaying "this MIUI version can't be installed" or something like that.

That may be true, but maybe that's cause it didn't succeed in installing MIUI this time, see other comment to where it is now

since your phone is not associated with a mi account, u might need customer care support.
u said bootloader was already unlocked.
if u bought a used phone ask the original user for mi id+pass to unlock bootloader again

Ok since you have reached point where only a service centre visit can unlock it, I suggest you use an authorised account! I believe there are people online who accept payment in return for unlocking the bootloader (I have no idea how to find them tho, sorry)
These accounts are rare and are used by service centres to unlock bootloaders and stuff..and which TWRP did you even use? Use Peter's, the official one is **** and doesn't support decryption.

U should buy a deep flash cable or u may make it at home.(search on youtube). Clean flash stock fastboot rom from mi flash in edl (emergency download mode). It will flash successfully. Then set up a mi account ( may be cratate a new one to unlock the bl). Then give try to mi unlock tool.
Note - suggest to buy a deep flash cabel instead for home made.
U may done flashing in edl mode only because bl is locked now.
A year ago i also forget to deselect clean and lock option and locked my bl accidently but i used above method and get success.

Actually while flashing it locks the bootloader after complete installation is done, so might be you first locked the bootloader you can check the script in fastboot rom

I try to flash it buy theree method already, EDL is unsuccessful it need an authorize account; Miflash Tool Pro, flash recovery rom it shows " Couldn't verify, looks like current ROM's network carrier type is different from that in the Recovery package..."
V10.3.8.0 and 10.3.10.0 got the same result; the third try is actually the XiaoMi adb method, someone is success to save their redmi note 5 by that...but as i try it on N7 pro it fail...!

Have you tried to unlock using mi unlock?
If the devices was unlocked officially, you should be able to unlock again immediately without asking for the permission.

how we can unlock phone without test point?
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Hello. first of all you have to remove the back to be able to put the phone in edl mode. then you need to find someone with an account authorized to install a rom stock china for which you will have to pay. I paid $ 15. then you will need to associate the phone with your me account and unlock the bootloader. nothing else works. for a month I lost my nights trying dozens. until I paid everything was in vain. or you have the option of an authorized service, but I am convinced that it will cost you more. success.

If you're able to access to EDL mode, you should be able to flash using QFIL tools instead of MiFlash. Something like this
Update> Currently I recommend this method only for unbrick, if you are going to change regions or install stock use this new method: Here
>> Need bootloader unlocked <<
If you want to unbrick or flash stock, you must download the package corresponding to your device and RUI version
1. Download the .zip package and extract the .ofp file
Packages:IndiaRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.07: DownloadRUI 3.0 Android 12 C.03: Download---------------EuropeRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: DownloadRUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download---------------ChinaRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.06: Download---------------Russia, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and other regionsRUI 2.0 Android 11 A.02: DownloadRUI 3.0 Android 12 C.02: Download---------------
2. Download and Install OppoRealme-OFP-Flash Tool: Here
3. Place the extracted .ofp file in the same folder as the program.
4. Run OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
5. When running if you have placed only one .ofp file in the folder it will automatically select it.
6. Choose the region you want to install, if you don't know you can search on google country code, or go in automatic mode by adb (if your cell phone isn't bricked).
7. Then it will ask if you want to keep some partitions (if you're doing it for bootloader lock you can't keep any).
8. Accept the terms and then plug the device into fastboot mode.
9. Done!
Note: after this process if you want to lock the bootloader, restart again in fastboot mode and type the command "fastboot flashing lock"
At last! Thank you! Will try it as soon as I have some free time to do it!
One quick question please. So let's say I want to go from Europe to India rom. I need to unlock bootloader and start the process you described. Do I need to take backup any partition in order not to lose IMEI or something? And after flashing to relock bootloader only type "fastbook flashing lock"? Some people were saying there is no official method to relock the bootloader again that's why I'm asking.

almost that, you don't lose the imei, you lock the bootloader I've already tested and proven it, but I don't recommend doing it without the rom that comes on your device.if you want to test, but it can happen hardbrick.

You mean lock the bootloader with the rom that my device has already? So if it's europe it has to stay europe and do the lock if I understand correctly.

That's right, I don't know if blocking with a system from another region would work, it could even work, but it's risky to test, only if you have 10usd to pay for the hard unbrick.

Listen, the thing is that I wouldn't even bother to test another rom. I already have made a thread here asking for some help because I have problem with incoming caller ID on 4G/5G with VoLTE enabled. Since no solution has been found, even after contacting Realme, the next thing to try was another (stock always) rom to see if it would work. If I would try to change rom I have to be VERY careful because there are absolutely NO service centers of Realme in my country. That's why I'm asking these questions. I want to know how safe is to "transfer" from another rom and if it is posible to return to my stock rom again with locked bootloader.

Listen, the thing is that I wouldn't even bother to test another rom.

It's with my tool, it's totally safe, and it's easy to return to your region of origin, she has some protection so that nothing serious happened.

Thank you man. Totally appreciate your effort. Just to be clear one last time. You can do w/e test you want by changing roms/regions with unlocked BL and then after if you want to return your phone to what it was from factory you flash again your initial rom and lock BL.

correct
great work thank you
Sorry if I may ask for clearer steps. The steps is kinda vague like you did not mention anything that need to be prepared from the device. And, if we change to another region rom, do we get future OTA official update form realme? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your reply. One more thing, for other region, does it come with Google? Mine was chinese rom and want to see if changing region will get Google service preinstalled. And, can you help me to check the Widevine level as well. Hope I'm not bothering you

Hi, im from europe and i have realme gt neo 2 europe variant. Just for information:
i unlocked bootloader, flashed chinese rom and locked bootloader again and everything worked like a charm.
No hardbrick.
PS. i relock bootloader because my bank accounts didnt worked with unlocked bootloader.
PSS. OTA updates works like a charm too on chinese rom.

You just flashed every partition and everything worked ok after locking it? That's very nice to hear.
1. The touchscreen on the phone was replaced with a non-original one.
2. The phone has been unlocked before. Then it was locked. The original firmware does not work with the Chinese touchscreen. So I want to reflash it to LineAge.
3. I use miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24 version to unlock the phone. The other versions give an error.
4. After waiting 162 hours for unlock, got this error "unlock tool please use the common user tool on the official website"
5. Google does not know about this error. What to do?

I had the same problem but with my poco F3 I got: "unlock tool please use the common user tool on the official website", but downloading the version miflash unlock-en 6.5.314.7 solved it and I was able to unlock the bootloader.

Thank you for your reply. That version didn't work for me. I want to try all the versions. Maybe everyone has a different combo.
P.S. Thanks again for the idea! In my case miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.55 worked immediately
