XIAOMI Redmi Note 5 Pro [whyred] global fastboot ROMs bug

just to make sure no one getting the trouble i had. if you bought Xiaomi devices (not sure its the devices after Redmi 4a or every devices with miui 9.5) with the bootloader already unlocked by the seller or the distributor, make sure youre registering or linked your account to the device. because when whenever youre trying to install global fastboot ROMs with the lock option selected, the device will stuck at recovery with red notification at the bottom saying "the MIUI version cant be installed on this device". the thing is after youre installing fastboot ROMs and locking bootloader of your device, you cant install global fastboot ROMs no more and left with chinese fastboot ROMs or using TWRP. since youre locking your bootloader and if your mi account is not bound to your device, you cant unlock bootloader with the official unlocking tool (it will spit out error "current account is not bound to this device") and yes youre stuck with chinese fastboot rom. you can still bind your account after youre installing the chinese fastboot ROM and unlock your bootloader, but you still cant flash the global fastboot ROMs.
so heres my story for everyone who is experiencing the same issue
i bought my whyred with the bootloader unlocked from the seller/distributor (its a normal thing here, maybe) and i have no issue what so ever in first month i bought it. im changing ROMs with every custom ROMs i found until im bored and decided to installed global fastboot ROM then locking my bootloader. so im stuck on recovery with red notification at the bottom saying "the MIUI version cant be installed on this device" after i flashed my whyred with global fastboot ROM. i thought i was installed the wrong miui ROM, but no. since i locked my bootloader and i havent bind my mi account to the device yet i cannot install custom recovery and installed fastboot ROM no more. so i left with EDL mode then. i tried to enter EDL Mode with button combinations (since miui 9.5 this was disabled, cmiiw), deep flash cable (not working anymore), adb (well i flashed device and stuck, so i cant do adb), fastboot (nope, its locked) and i left with test point methode and this is the only working methode for you with the same situation.
so i flashed ten or so global fastboot ROMs i can find from different sources just in case i have a bad day. but nope, none was working. so i flashed chinese ROM and worked, i immediately tried to unlocked my bootloader but i now faced with 240 wating time. well i guest im stuck with chinese ROM for the next 10 days. the XDA and MIUI forum said that you should be able to flash global ROMs (not sure if this includes fastboot ROMs) again after unlocking your bootloader.

How to bind the phone with miui account. Explain the process in detail. Thank you.

Stuck in bootloop after flashing rom

I recently bought a Note 7 Pro wich is stuck in bootloop after flashing a rom. The guy couldn't give me that much details ...
What I encountered so far:
- might be chinese device (how can this be verified ?)
- bootloop to recovery with message: ... can't install this version "
- bootloader is locked at the moment / not sure if it was unlocked before
- Fastboot is accessible
- tried some updates via xiaomiadb - but without success.
--> China stable & developer recovery rom lead to errors: network carrier type different
--> Global V11 rom is accepted by tool but, leads again to bootloop with error message ...
Therefore I am not sure how to continue. Any hints ?
Thanks,
Oli

Hi, as u are saying that u stuck in bootloop in note 7 pro Answer - the reason is t
Hi, as u are saying that u stuck in bootloop in note 7 pro
Answer - the reason is that ur phone bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to flash any rom Or OEM image or else fastboot recovery image
Normally when phone stuck in bootloop we do flash via mi flash toot app using fastboot recovery image only.
Otherwise u will get error for sure ?
Now ur phone has a bootlock so u have to go to service centre and they will do recovery by opening back panel of phone and they will charge you around 350 plus tax if it is out of warranty

Had you applied for Bootloader unlocking? If you had using MI Unlock tool, then wait for the time being until the time period is over and unlock the bootloader. It may work. Also, if you have stock recovery you may confirm with others and install stable OTA updates for the ROM to see if it fixes the device.

No. I did not try to unlock the bootloader. I received the phone in that bootloop and only did one attempt to recover through xiaomiadb with mentioned error.
Is there no other way to escape except going to a shop ?

I have two Redmi Note 7 Pro devices. (Global Devices - A.K.A Indian Variant)
first device is unlocked but no custom rom installed like ever
second device is unlocked with lots of custom rom history
While trying to relock my bootloader with MIFLASH (clean all and lock) and Global firmware 11.0.8
First device firmware flash worked perfectly and bootloader is set to lock state - (Widevine status is L1 )
Second device as stated in OP . Flashing success but device showing "SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESTROYED". If i unlock the bootloader of the device then it boots normally but device is in unlock state (widevine status L3)
I think some modifications might have happened to some system partitions which causes the VBMETA - SRCLIST check failure.
ANY DEVS PLEASE LOOKS INTO THIS ISSUE ...
Yeah someone out there I"m trying to relock bootloader bcoz to get access to my corporate mails , netflix HD content and GPAY
(On other hand magisk is having CTS profile check failure as google changed the approach to check the unmodified system)

If you wanna lock your bootloader then don't untick the option, use MiFlash along with lock devide option. That should give you stock ROM and a locked bootloader, but don't try this on a custom ROM.

There is no harm having unlocked bootloader with miui stock you still secured and still gets all updates pushed by Xiaomi.
I recently flashed rom miui by mi flash tool and with unlocked option on and as I started from fresh got latest update 11.8.0 hope so but you do one thing uninstall the mi flash tool and reinstall it then do the same steps again you will get successful

Yeah never said there's a problem..just that if you try it on a custom rom it will brick the device..

I have talked to some developers and they have said its happening to everybody due to some issue by Redmi side you cant rollback from anrdoid 10 custom rom to miui 11 android 9 based you have to wait till redmi releases miui 11 based on android 10 then you can lock the bootloader or you can use edl mode

Did you find any solution to this?

Even EDL mode isn't a solution.
One of my known violet user went to service center and they failed to revive the phone even from EDL flashing. At last they changed the mobo.
Hope this gets fixed after miui 12 with android 10 comes.
P.s : i lost all my hope of relocking the bootloader & i don't think so that android 10 update from Xiaomi will fix this.

Lets hope it gets fixed

I always use the fastboot method to restore original system. Works 100% of the time. It has scripts to flash stock without lock

Bricked Xiaomi 12X Locked Bootloader Only Fastboot

Hi guys, my friend got a new Xiaomi 12X and while trying to flash a global rom he bricked the phone into fastboot mode only.
We can't flash a new rom through MiFlash because it says that the device is locked. We can't boot into the system anymore to do the unlock process. No access to recovery mode, FASTBOOT ONLY.
How can we proceed? I know that there's probably some way to do this without unlocking, china sellers from AliExpress and stores like that do this every day to change from china to global ROMs.
I found this tool, but it's paid, anyone knows if it works? Mod Edit: Link Removed

You're looking for the fastboot rom, specifically, available on the offical website and on one of these forums. That's the one you can push from fastboot on your PC
the other methods won't work while its stuck in fastboot

https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/xiaomi-poco-f3-xiaomi-mi-11x-redmi-k40.12161
you need patched firehose for the Poco F3. so go in that forum and search for "firehose"

Question Allow oem unlocking option missing in developer options

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.
