My phone suddenly stucked at MIUI logo. I didn't unlock the bootloader on the developer option that's why I can't flash my phone and I don't have any idea how to fix this. Can someone help me ? Please I need some answers and guide.
Try flashing stock in fastboot with MiFlash. If that doesn't work, RMA is the only option left...
Push the volume up button at startup to get into recovery. Then you can reset to factory defaults. That should solve the problem (and delete all your data).

what is RMA btw ?
You only have to unlock to flash a custom rom (or to modify the system). Flashing a original stock rom with the Xiaomi flash tool should also work with a locked bootloader.
RMA: Return Merchandise Authorization. Means to let it repair from the manufacturer or dealer.

Been researching for too long and flashing a custom rom is the only way. But the problem is there is no official store of xiaomi here in our place. Is there any third party apps that I can use to unlock the bootloader of my phone ?
Without unlocked bootloader, reset, MiFlash or Poco official service are your only options.
@Flixnet: thanks for clarifying my meanings.

I'm gonna keep it simple, here is the scenario:
ROM is corrupted.
Bootloader is unlocked.
FRP lock is on. (fastboot can't do much)
TWRP was flashed back to stock.
Stock hard-reset fails. (even wipe option)
Force upgrade stops at 5% (swear I am using the same one)
eRecovery does not work.
Can't flash. Can't push files.
So what can i do now?

Are you able to communicate with the device using fastboot?
Try flashing the stock images via fastboot
You won't need an unlocked bootloader for this

Try the instructions at the top of the page here https://developers.google.com/android/images
It may work without unlocking the bootloader.

whatever command i use it says OEM unlock is not allowed.
Just throwing out ideas that you may have already tried. If I understand right you cannot get into recovery which eliminates trying to sideload the stock image. Your bootloader is locked and it will not let you unlock so booting into TWRP is out of the question. Are you just wanting your phone operational again? Have you tried wiping/factory resetting with fastboot commands? i.e. fastboot erase userdata or fastboot format userdata.

both command not working .. same bootloader locked message.
error message " Please unlock the device to activate this command"
anyone else can help ?
I would contact Google customer support. Even though my phone was out of warranty and I was not the original buyer (bought in eBay), they were willing to make a one-time exception for an RMA. I didn't use it because my phone is rooted and I was afraid of being charged for any repairs. As long as your phone is stock and unrooted, you have a chance. Just say that you think you have a hardware failure and while you understand that they are in no obligation to help, you would appreciate anything they can do.

Hey what's up.
Having issues and want to start from scratch but the MSM download tool isn't working for me due to driver issues I can't seem to resolve.
I'm unlocked and rooted with a custom kernel but otherwise totally stock.
Would I be able to just fastboot flash the stock boot.img and relock the bootloader for a total data wipe? Would that be enough to start fresh?
Go into magisk. Click uninstall. Click restore images. Your images should have been backup by the app. Reboot and reset from reset option in phone. No need to relock.
Thanks. Is that as good as the MSM tool as data wipes go? Want to get as fresh as I possibly can without MSM...

Boot to fastboot,
Code:
fastboot -w
what is the best way to relock the bootloader from Rooted( Magisk) and unlocked bootloader ? I did fastboot lock last time, I guess it locked successfully but refused to boot. Had to use msm to unbrick. Could you suggest best practice for Locking the bootloader again from rooted stock ?

You can't lock the bootloader while rooted. Your patched boot fails startup checks. The only phone i remember that you could root and relock was the oneplus one. There was a software hack to do a soft bootloader lock/unlock without wiping the data.
To expand on that, if you modified any locked partitions and try to relock the bootloader, you'll essentially soft brick. The only thing you can modify is I believe is userdata. If you are unsure, why take the chance, especially since your MSM isn't working.
Just do a factory reset from recovery lol or use fastboot
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.

Thanks for the reply, i will try what you said.
The xiaomi 13 was purchased, the Chinese version, the fastboot was unlocked, the global version ROM was installed with the bootloader closed, and now the device is stuck in the bootloader screen and does not boot on the recovery. I tried unlocking the bootloader again, but it asks for developer permission and I cannot access the device. Please help me
Try to get to the recovery or fastboot. If not possible, you could need to follow a EDL Method to flash the entire motherblard after the hard brick

I'm pretty sure that if you try to relock bootloader on a ROM that's not the original, it'll brick your phone. Sounds like it did just that.
Are you able to get the phone to fastboot mode? Does your PC recognize it, and can you successfully send commands to it?

Flashing in EDL mode on this type of device requires a Xiaomi account with special authorization.

So it is only reserved for customer and technical support. I see things change a lot during this year.
I hope that OP could fix this without go through the assistance way.

It's been like this for a few years now, which makes the phone with a locked bootloader unusable in case of theft or loss.
