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

Please, tell me how did you destroy the system? I can't imagine how this is possible.

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.

Hello ppl,
I unlocked the bootloader and I can flash any custom ROM without problem...But when I'm installing the official MIUI comes back the lock screen ( this device is assosiated with mi account).
So, everytime I have to connect to WiFi and enter my password to unlock it!
Why is that? How can i free my device from this cloud lock? Is it enough to remove my device from the assosiated devices list from my cloud? ( I think no, cause my device has the lock already and waits...)
Do I have to use mi account unlock tool?
I don't need cloud xiaomi cloud at all .
I used it only to unlock my bootloader.
Thanks...

I'm not certain what is happening there. Have you got TWRP custom recovery installed? I have had a multitude of issues with MIUI activation and accounts. As I created a MIUI account from the phone and it was a different account number to when I sign in via the website, so they didn't match up when I went to sign into Mi Unlock. It said I had to wait 6 months to use the mobile number with a different account. So had to get another SIM just to unlock the phone.
Unless the phone hasn't been fully wiped. You might need a factory reset or format data.
Thanks... Phone works perfect on crdroid.. I have offcourse the Chinese twrp..
I can flash every ROM without problem...
Only when I'm installing Miui I have the lock screen asking for activation and password..
I know my pass and I can go on...
But I want to disable it..
I don't want cloud lock on my device..
I'm also curious how it stays cloud locked after factory reset/ wiping everything... Lock stays probably in another partition....
It's normal behaviour, I get the same prompt when I install MIUI.
yes is normal.. But very irritating.... If i dont have wifi i cannot unlock my phone!!!!
So no way to de-associate my device ?
Last time for me that I'm buying xiaomi....
Good hardware , but they want to control and spy..
Not nice..

To disable it install official miui, sign into your mi account, then go to settings and sign out, and reset the phone. It will not ask for an account afterwards

It's nothing to do with spying, you didn't remove your account properly
Hello,
I want to setup a new x3 pro phone to a friend. In order to install a custom rom (probably miui.eu) I will unlock the bootloader with a sim and mi account. I can do that easily with my own sim and account.
My question is this: Will there be a problem after unlocking process is complete to replace the sim and mi account? Is the unlock validation linked to a specific sim and specific mi account?
Nah, unlocking is not tied to your account. HOWEVER, factory reset protection *is*. When you first setup the phone with a new Google or Mi account (for your friend), it might ask for your old Mi account password or PIN. But this only sometimes happens.
As far as bootloader unlock goes, that's why we have the 720 hour wait or whatever - because once that wait is over, it is easy to keep it unlocked - only the fastboot flash can re-lock a bootloader - but again sometimes there is a factory reset protection trigger.
HI , My POCO X3 pro got issues with SIM 1 slot as it does not work. now i tried unlocking its bootloader but it is giving me 1004 error while trying so.
