hi, i updated my phone to MIUI 13.0.3 android 12 and i've noticed a bug that made all the apps that are using the camera like instagram and snapchat take blurry pictures like an effect getting applied to the pictures taken by those apps (everything normal in my stock camera app) so i decided to use MiFlash tool to flash the previous android version on my phone but i bricked my phone instead i flashed a global rom while my phone is the chinese market version and accidently checked the ClearData+lock Device check box in MiFlash. the tool flashed the rom successfully but when the phone restarted it showed me a message saying that this rom cannot be installed on this device in recovery mode i couldn't do anything after cuz the bootloader got locked too T i tried everything to unlock it (mtk Client - bootloader unlocker+ adb fastboot + Xiaomi Unlock app ...). please help me is there any way i can fix my phone and what is the righ Rom to flash on my phone (Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G China (21091116C - Pissarro). thnx
friend I'm not a star I tell you how things are 1) you can't go back with another Rom only china 2) anti-roll-back 3) MiCloud you have to disable it you can try MiflashV2 there is also to unlock the bootloader it does everything even the firmware remember if the firmware does not start. important not only china also not china for updates remember first you do the factory reset put google account do not update any app except google drive backup with drive if it has arrived update it is better by setting the time instead of downloading the package the problem is when the update occurs it fails to close all active apps and then there is MiCloud that blocks. Best wishes and good luck and that I have little time for me too much trouble here in Europe.

currently my phone is stuck at the logo and after seconds it loads Fastboot automatically i cant access the phone os to do anything i used the xiaomi bootloader unlocker app that works online but it didnt work . the local cell phone service shops told that they have to open the phones back case to fix it ... i dont want that i've just bought the phone didnt even use it for a whole month
they don't have to open it they use licensed or dongle software (USB type) currently I use unlocktoll.net but if the phone is under warranty and you haven't removed the bootloader before it is better for you. It is possible that others have the same problem as you. Good luck

Rule number 1 for Xiaomi never flash anything on Mediatek devices, it will fail. If messed up, no way back as Xiaomi locks the devices for autorized service providers or local Xiaomi branches only. If you want to play with Xiaomi custom roms/development/etc. related only buy Snapdragon based devices.
I i.e. learned it the hard way, when this all started with the Redmi Note 8 Pro, I bricked it by flashing twrp in Android 11 and Xiaomi didn't want to repair it, so I had to pay some russian guy to fix it via Teamviewer with a modified unlock tool which was able to answer the unlock requests by pasting the answer manually from a generator. It's not like I messed up at a point, it's just that Mediatek devices easily fall in a unrecoverable state. In my term it was the combination of Android version and twrp. You will note there is no Mediatek support on xda and even when your device is named like a Snapdragon version, your device is offtopic here, because trying anything on it beyond unlocking the bootloader is harakiri
how to unlock my bricked Redmi Note 11 Pro 5g (Chinaissarro) Bootloader
Congratulation. Brick without unlocked BL :/
my opinion: you are done....
Some Xiaomi devices have pins on motherboard to
switch EDL, but i dont know with this device.
Try complaint and say something like: "my phone was upgraded and then i see only logo"

rule #1 with Xiaomi - bootloader is unlocked

hi, i have a redmi6 cereus (type M1804C3DG 64GB) android 8.1 and i have upgraded from miui global 9.6 to miui global V10.2.6.0 (OCGMIXM) stable.
i have created a miui account and i’m waiting the last days for bootloader unlocking permission.
even if i loose warranty i decided to root it (the idea is to install twrp - the only way i know to make full backups and magisk).
but before i would like to know if there is any way to make a full backup of the stock rom as is (maybe before unlocking or before installing recovery) to eventualy restore phone as it came (if it has sense relocking bootloader and restoring stock rom) to see if in case it’s possible to try not to loose warranty
so is there any way to make a full backup of the stock rom (not in cloud) i mean to an sd card or to a pc to eventualy restore to stock if needed?
I can backup data partition only in LR TWRP. But i can backup everything else in every TWRP for R6.

good, tnx for the tip, i'll consider the second then.
unfortunately i'm blocked since more than 3 weeks and i don't know how to come out from an idiot message that says that i haven't used the phone enough.
the situation is this:
redmi 6 (cereus type M1804C3DG 64GB) android8.1
upgraded from miui global 9.6 to miui global V10.2.3.0 (OCGMIXM) stable
the phone is still always logged in the mi account from the beginning when i’ve tried to unlock
spent 15 days waiting unlock permissions but the result is that mi unlock (3.3.827.31 official) tells me is: "Couldn't unlock"
the dispotic reason in chineese ideograms reports: “The phone has not been used for the specified time and cannot be unlocked" 手机使用未达到指定时间，无法解锁 (with the button below “unlock again”)
after theese 15 days i'm still logged and i’ve spent the following 9 days using it more, but trying to unlock gives always the same idiot message
i feel rooked because i'm not the owner of the phone i've buyed
any ideas on any way to unlock?

* enable oem-unlocking & mi unlock permission in developer setting.
* download older version of mi unlock tool (I used 2.3.803.10)

hey bro this was the key!! successfully unlocked, don't know how to thank you man!!
hey since i'm quite sure to have lost warranty, i'd like to be sure about the steps because reading around i saw that once flashed twrp to make it permanent i should wipe data and to disable force encryption flashing also lazyflasher or no-verifyencrypt so avoiding that at first reboot system re-encrypts again and that twrp will be replaced from stock recovery, is it right?
magisk a part, did you flash something else after twrp?

If you want only rooted system then just format userdata in fastboot then flash twrp and then flash disableforceencryption or lazyflasher then magisk through twrp.

Hey guys! My Redmi Note 6 Pro got locked by xiaomi, and I don't have access to the account. I was able to unlock it, but every time I connect to wifi it just locks.
I tried this small tool, It did unlock the device, but still. It locks after connecting to Wi-Fi
https://imgur.com/PuvWkSz
is there any way to unlock it for cheap? My budget is about 3$
Flashing stock ROM in EDL didn't helped.
I got permissions from xiaomi, but since the phone is "locked" they are useless.
I found
prog_emmc_firehose files on internet for redmi note 6 pro and if I'll replace them with the ones in images folder it flashes properly.
Any ideas what could I do?
Also, I tried getting TWRP by changing recovery.img file to the twrp one, but I got the classic message of system destroyed, which I solved by flashing stock from with stock recovery
I saw people doing something if I give them IMEI or unlock code, could someone here do it for free or maybe for a small price of 3$?

May I ask, this phone can unlock bootloader for only one time?
In my country several importers sell Tencent ww flashed.
I think they relocked bootloader after ww flashed, so those phones are unable to unlock bootloader again?
(I read here no free/public edl unbrick available yet.)

One of the major risks of buying a converted model is the risk that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. Currently, there is no workaround for it.
Added the VO(Data) threads to the QA post, even though results vary. These threads have some of the most traffic for the device.
It will be interesting to see how much actually changes in the 5s.
Until the information is proven to be different, no separate sections will be added. Please remember to double check things are compatible before flashing anything meant for a different generation.
Thank you, Just stumbled upon this amazing thread!
Cheers and Thank you for the hardwork!

I just found this and im kind of confused where to look, im really sorry for the annoyance im just so lost :/
I tried to flash Global ROM to Chinese Redmi Note 11E Pro 5G, but when flashing unintentionally ticked "flash and lock" option. Now my phone is stuck in Fastboot mode, and it doesn't allow me to neither flash other ROMs nor unlock using MiFlashUnlock.
I searched how to fix this in Internet, but unfortunately didn't find any solution - every option requires me to unlock bootloader with a functioning phone, but unfortunately that seems not possible in my case.
Is my phone bricked?
Any way to bring it back to life?

I would love to. In fact, I have contacted that guy from Telegram and I genuinely believe he is capable of solving my issue. The problem is I couldn't make a payment to his account to finish his job because of financial restrictions at place.

The guys who repair phones in my town found to be able to fix this kind of a problem as well, but that required physically opening the phone and doing some programming.
And I am still waiting to get help from them. 3 months have passed. Pinged them ~20 times. Each time there's either no answer or a single Yes, but when I give them the connection details, they go completely silent.
I have a Russian (thanks Amazon !!) Redmi 9a 32Gb/2gb. It is currently running latest 12.0.x ROM version, but i would like to upgrade it to 12.5.
I see on xiaomi ROM site there is currently a 12.5.x version for Russian version, but the OTA never arrived and if i download the recovery zip file and install it manually, it fails verification and stops.
Is there a way to install 12.5 without unlocking the bootloader ?
Is 12.5 supported on this specific redmi 9a ?
thanks !
mmm... spflashtool might work, but Ive only ever used it on a bircked device to unbrick it, never on a functional device to just change the ROM version, but if you really wanna do it without unlocking bootloader thats your best choice.
I will say anyway, its probably safer to unlock bootloader install recovery and install the rom from there, its your call tho.
Heres how I unbricked my device

Right now I cannot unlock the bootloader, maybe in the next months I might try (I want to wait for the warranty to expire). My concern is that my version of Redmi 9A with just 2G of Ram is actually not compatible with MIUI 12.5. The 12.5 rom is actually available, but OTA will leave me in the 12.0 branch and verification fails if I try to install the ROM manually. I would not want to brick it by installing an unsupported ROM.
My phone model is M2006C3LG and the ROM I have right now says I have 1.8Gb of available RAM, I don't think you have a different device from mine.
Im a total n00b so I may be wrong about this next thing, but, I think the only difference is what version of MIUI they were sold with since the hardware doesn't allow downgrades further than the stock ROM that came with the device.
There is always antirollback after MIUI 10, but I think its even further locked for the original stock ROM that came to the device, but yeah, this is all my own speculation due to a bricking incident I faced.
The model number is the same, but the 9A was available with different sizes of RAM 2 or 3 or 4 Gb. Mine is the low end 32/2 which is the model still on sale today. If you still have 1.8 Gb of free RAM you very likely has the 3 or 4 GB model.
Maybe you are right, the OTA allows only for updates within the same MIUi version; I saw several guides on-line and i think i will try the miflash tool and switch to the global version. I have to find a way to unlock bootloader without Xiaomi account (no way in hell I'm signing up for that) and without sim card (this phone is used as a smaller wi-fi only tablet). There are some tools for an offline unlock, I will try those first.
It is incredible how Xiaomi is making it complex just to update to a stable official ROM; given also how much bloatware is shovelled with the stock ROM, I'm not sure I will ever consider Xiaomi again.

In my opinion, DON'T UPGRADE. I upgraded it with recovery and fastboot and my phone got an message everytime when I boot it : dm verity corrupted and I will need to press power button again to work. Maybe i didn't did that correctly ( I have Global 12.0.20 32/2gb)

Thanks for the info. So you upgraded to latest 12.0 without moving to 12.5, any reason for not trying 12.5 ? The phone is currently barely usable with Android 10, maybe Android 11 is even heavier, but why not give it a try ?
I saw several youtube videos and guides and by using MI Flash with a Fastboot image (scattered tgz) it should be a total reflash of the phone.
