Step6:Sign up you account to you Phone
Step7:Reboot to Fastboot and try to use MiUnlock to unlock BL
Importance:If the unlock always stoped when it reach 50% and say something about your account,don't be nervous and read the next QUOTE
As Mi's customer service says,they will recode the false of unlock for 4C's users and they will do some adjust for it.Just wait 5~7 days and you can use MiUnlock normally.
Please plan for what to do during this period.
If you are not the user of 4C,go to Developer Options
"设备解锁状态"(just Chinese,I don't know it's English

Step8:Flash newest TWRP and wipe /system , /data and /cache(you can change data and cache to F2FS to make them faster
Step9:Flash your ROM,Gapps and so on and enjoy it!
Please follow my Twitter,THX
Think you guide.
My experience is that you must download the latest unlock software (maybe 1.1.1111 or so).
I have been fighting for a week with the boot loader. I would like to use in the RR 5.8.2 the new firmware. The authorization I got very quickly. 2 or 3 working days.
Then I wanted to unlock the bootloader. First I fought with the fastboot drivers. Then with the problem "mi account is different from mi account of the phone". Finally I was blocked because of too many attempts. Ip Adress to often.
Now I restore my RR 5.8.1 and wait a few more days. Horror.
First of all, i apologize for my bad english.
this method will help you to unbrick your Mi Mix 2s!
from :
1. The system has been destroyed
2. "This MIUI can't be installed on this device"
3. Locked Bootloader in global/ china ROM
4. Etc
how to do :
1. Remove the back panel of the phone
2. Do test point #below the rear camera
3. Flash it with MiFlash2018-5-28-0
*before you flash, go to MiFlash2018 Folder -> Mi -> account_auth.exe
login with Authorized Mi Account (thanks for redmi note 5/pro ARP cases)
4. do flash
5. wait for done
6. enjoy ur mi mix 2s again!!!
Basically everyone on the official Xiaomi Support Threads for the Mix 2S says this does not work. Not almost everybody--every single person that has tried it and left a comment about their experience. All you will do if you follow these instructions is permanently destroy your phone and if that is your intention smashing it repeatedly with a hammer is faster and easier.
Sorry, I did for my phone, and it's works
And now I am replying from my mix 2s,
It was bricked XE model with locked bootloader in global rom. Just flash with China rom, and the key is mi flash 2018 with authorized mi account which we posted in miui Russia forum to get authorized for bricked arp redmi note 5 pro

I bought this bricked phone from someone, XE model, he flashed to global rom and forgot to choose Clear All, he check Clear and Lock in Mi Flash,
Then the phone is bootloop for a month, he tried to flash, etc with any methods, flash recovery, etc
That's how his phone system destroyed
Sorry for my bad english
If your system says it got destroyed it isn't destroyed it only locked the bootloader and that means you have to unlock it again to access the rom.
@jhs39 and ryan mixed: You´re absolutely right: Due to a failed flash to Android P, my Mix2s got hardbricked -
only showing 'The system is destroyed' - the bootloader was re-locked - only Fastboot was working.
I was able to re-unlock the bootloader by using the latest MiUnlockTool ( the older ones got stuck at 50%... )
- after that, the phone was booting again and everything was OK. My experience is: forget all workarounds with
deepflash cables, testpoint aso - the possibility to damage the hardware of the phone is excessive and they won´t
lead to success. The only way to get it working again is to unlock the bootloader! And this is working not depending
if usb debugging is enabled or you got ´find my phone´ enabled in your mi.account,....

Hm, maybe we´re going to be a bit OT - I read the mentioned thread - who needs five mi accounts?
I have only one for my three registered Mi´s. I did the re-unlock of my Mix2s two weeks ago and
I checked it again before writing this - it still has permission. So, maybe there are other reasons why
Xiaomi has revoked some people´s accounts permission? Maybe depending on the age of the
account, the region, or they reglement the number? IDK. Only Xiaomi knows...

For backup, cause of hardbrick of redmi note 5 anti rollback, no fastboot, no recovery, etc, the only way is to flash in edl for ubl devices, otherwise for non ubl devices we do test point, not permission to unlock, but permission to flash in edl mode.
Try miflash 2018,go to "mi" folder, login with your account, see unauthorized or authorized.
OK, arb can be a bad trap for owners of redmi note 5, but is it also
applicable to the Mix2s? As I wrote, I used the 'old' miflash_unlock
( ver. 3.3.525.23 ) and after that I flashed from failed Android P to
global dev. and then again to Android P using XiaoMiFlash
( ver. 2017.4.25.0 ). And honestly, I´m a bit scared of trying a new
tool...

I mean the flashing method, not about ARB.
I used that method for my bricked mi mix 2s,
XE model with Locked BL in global rom,
Just fastboot and recovery,
Bootloop,
Everytime i flash with MI PC Suite 3.0 beta, it's detected as Global or XA model, when i flashed, phone bricked again.
I do try unlock BL again, and got message "this account is not bound to device or something like that" in Mi Unlock
So i downloaded MiFlash 2018 + borrow authorized mi account,
Do test point by opening rear side,
Then flashed China Stable or Developer Rom & my phone is up again
I guess your phone is XA, not XE
Sorry, but @Pfofeldix is right. I have the XE model and once I locked the bootloader while being on Global ROM. Phone went softbricked of course, but I used Mi Unlock to unlock it and it went back to life again. Then I've done the whole procedure multiple times and during every single one of them I was able to "revive" my phone.
There's no point in destroying the phone when you can achieve the same outcome with the phone intact, left alone that some people say that the testpoint method doesn't work.
I don't know why some people can't relock and unlock again, but it definitely is possible if you did everything right in the first place.

Because you can unlock it before, when it unlocked, of course you can flash to any rom.
The problem was my phone Locked in hardbrick state,
Mi account not bound to device.
that's why i do test point, i didn't suggest people to destroy their phone, i do for my phone and it back to life. It's ok, i just want to share.

That's a different situation. The person who posted that had 5 accounts. I've used the same MI Account to unlock the bootloader on all 4 of the Xiaomi devices that I've owned. If you got caught using multiple accounts to request bootloader unlock I think Xiaomi always deauthorized the accounts.

PLease can someone with an authorized account can borrow me de login and pass in DM, bricked mi6 with never unlocked bootloader. Really thanks
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.

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...!

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
Hi everyone, to add some background I am fairly familiar with flashing this device as I have had it for 3 years and have done a lot of tinkering with it. However this does not mean I am good, and I have definitely soft bricked this phone a lot over the years, but today I think I finally hard bricked it.
Basically, I was using stock MIUI but with TWRP recovery and wanted to add my card to Google Pay, however it said my device was not secure (or something) so I thought it must be because I don't have fully stock MIUI. So I decided to see some way to return the stock recovery, and after doing 5 minutes of research I saw that I could flash the stock ROM and then through fastboot run "fastboot oem lock" which would reset it to stock. However I definitely did something wrong because after rebooting into recovery it says "The system has been destroyed, Press power button to shutdown", and the phone will not boot normally anymore.
You might now suggest that I should unlock my bootloader again through Mi account, but the problem is that I wasn't logged into my Mi account, so I think this is impossible. I have tried running "fastboot oem unlock", but that obviously returns an error when I tried.
Is there any hope to recover this device or is it gone forever? I would appreciate any advice. If you need more info please just ask.
Thanks!

hi, u can try to unlock again over mi unlock tool not over fastboot command. if u unlocked before your account is maybe still binded with that phone. so u can try unlock first..
Do u have stock mi recovery on it?

Thanks for responding, I will try this as soon as I can get a different phone to receive the SMS for the Mi account. As for the recovery, I'm not really sure what exactly it is because as I said, when I try to boot recovery it just says, "The system has been destroyed".

this is not helpful since u have locked bootloader, video is fake, it is just flashing fastboot rom by cmd nothing else.
Had this same problem a few months ago, just try to unlock the phone again using mi unlock. After unlocking quickly install a custom recovery and you should be good.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'm in the process of trying to unlock with mi unlock however it says my account is suspended when I try to log in, I will be trying to recover it but I hope it will not cause any issues with unlocking the phone if I change the phone number as part of the recovery process.
Hello again, it would seem that I will not be able to unlock the Mi account that I used to unlock the device originally so I think I am out of options unfortunately. I will look into buying a new phone.

Hi everyone, I got it unlocked by some guys on Telegram as recommended by @NOSS8!
Hi all,
since there is not dedicated forum as of now, I'll try and post my question here.
Are there any custom roms or has anyone tested a GSI for the new Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro?
there are no custom roms yet
GSI roms should work similar to this device
Just installed this GSI: https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases/
Seems to work fine so far, although, it for some reason thinks there's always a physical keyboard connected, so I had to make the on-screen keyboard always enabled.
You can also force the display to use 144hz with the GSI under Phh Treble Settings > Misc features > Force FPS
nice. thanks for sharing!
How did you unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery?
I can't find TWRP images for this device.

You can go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/index.html to download software to unlock bootloader. (check here on xda, how you can unlock.. ;-)).
One of the activities is to have xiaomi account. You need to login with that on your tablet, before you can unlock.
You have to do some activities and wait for 168hours... (not a joke).
Then after the unlock, you need to boot into Fastboot, where you can flash the GSI image with ADB.
(must likely you would need to remove the product partition, otherwise the the image wont fit. Also make sure you download A image. Pad 6 Pro only has A. )
pfff.. 168 hours I wish.. I got the message that I have to wait for 300 hours.. 15 fricking days..
But if I understand you correcrly you've used the standard xiaomi recovery system to flash the custom rom?

I have already done the unlock according to the instructions from mi pad 5 on this forum is the same.
I've been using this Xiaomi Pad 6 pro with 12/256 for about 2 weeks now, and normally I feel the urge to get away from MIUI as quickly as I can, but dang this chinese rom is doing so well! No weird chinese apps that can not be removed, no problems with syncing all my google accounts ... Not sure yet if theres a need to change to another customr rom (yet) im surprised.

It's great that there are already roms that can be flashed. Unfortunately, I lack the knowledge of how to do it - I found a description for mi pad 5 below:
Run an GSI on your Mi Pad 5
To run an GSI on your Mi pad 5 : Unlock bootloader Download an arm64 AB gsi: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/treble-enabled-device-development-a-ab-roms.7260/ I used system-roar-arm64-ab-vndklite-vanilla.img by Phh Download vbmeta.img from...
forum.xda-developers.com
Reboot to fastboot
Open an cmd:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system system-roar-arm64-ab-vndklite-vanilla.img
fastboot reboot recovery
Make an factory reset
Reboot
A question for the author if and what instructions you gave, whether the same as for mi pad 5 from this manual or other. Please write more precisely what and how you flashed along with the issued commands.
Does fast charging work on the GSi (the tablet will be 100% charged in 1hour)?
where to download this file vbmeta.img ? Is it supposed to be the same as for mi pad 5?

I think you should look at what happen to me today! I have buy a xiaomi phone, I want to unlock the device, but the xiaomi company said I should wait 2 Hours for the Technology worker's answer. and 2 Hours after, they say I should wait for 168 Hours for the right to unlock. but the truth is that I have do everything until click the "Unlock" button on the xiaomi Unlock app on my laptop. but it become gray color, you can not click this button. it not display that your count should wait for 30 days to unlock. this means that they just do not want to unlock the device for me. not because of the wait 168 hours. the wait 168 hours just a reason (excuse) for them to keep not disable unlock for me. How evil they are!
never buy any electronic device from the xiaomi or Jinshan company. they are evil company.
and you can think about the security of all the China electronic device. the picture is that I take from my laptop about what I say.
