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
Hello all, I was stuck in recovery for some time and non of instructions were working for me, so I decide to flash stock rom via Mi Flash Tool.
I downloaded MiFlash20191206 and extract it I downloaded Xiaomi_Mi_Mix_3_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_20190118.0000.00_Global_9.0_XFT ROM and extract it, run Mi Flash, put the phone to fastboot. But when I flashed device I wrongly choose clean_all_lock. So I ended up with a locked bootloader. And when tried to boot MIUI I receive message:
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
So naturally, I tried to unlock bootloader with MiFlash unlock. Downloaded miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1108.44, extract it and run.
Login with my Mi Account and tried to unlock but ended up with the message:
"Please add your account in miui settings -> developer options -> mi unlock status"
Which would be easy to do but as I am not able to boot MIUI I am not able to go to settings.
So did I finally bricked my phone or is there some hope?
I haven't found myself in this predicament (I almost did, but interrupted the flash before it finished to stop the lock). You could try to fastboot the (assuming its a CN device) CN files over the top with it locked. It *should* allow that even if the BL is locked. Then you should be able to boot up, go through the unlock process again. I would see if you can find an older thread where someone did this, or see if you can find one in the Mix2s forums for advice. I know people have had this problem before and been able to fix it.
So in the end I solved it by going to local MiPoint and guys there were able to flash CN rom even with locked bootloader.
I asked them if they have authorized account, but they use some third party software. They did want to tell which, but I get some info that it is paid software and cost around 200 USD and also that they used Miracle xiaomi tool before for this, but now servers are busy and it's not usable anymore.
Any idea what's new software?
[Discussão] Mi A3 unbrick guide por @nullbyComunidade Mi
https://c.mi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=3527044
Hello everyone, I've recently tried to root my Redmi Note 9 (merlinnfc) The OEM in Dev options is turned on, and the only problem is, there's no way to fix the " FAILED (remote: 'Token verification failed') " error message.
I have everything i need, there's the magisk zip on the phone, and i have the TWRP image for it. ( un-official, there's not official TWRP image for 9+)
Yes, i do have platform-tools, and the vbmeta/vb images in case i accidentally brick my phone.
The only thing i need to do is unlock the boot loader.
Any way's to unlock it? PS: I've tried MiUnlock, my country's unssuported. (It dosen't work. No verification message, turns out my region isn't supported)
I don't trust any "One Click Root" apps, since they're either malware, or unsupported. And they might brick my phone anywyas.
Mi Version: 12..0.5 (Most Recent Security Patch, most likely not any firmware patches, so the fastboot method should work)\
Best Regards - FriendlyChemist
PS: I've tried MiUnlock, my country's unssuported.

I don't understand what you mean by your region is unsupported, care to elaborate?
I recommend trying MI Unlock again, using the latest one might work.
See this post for details.
If it still doesn't work then follow this thread here as stated by the user:
Goodmorning, i succeeded to unlock (appearantly) with Mi Unlock Tool. Don't have to wait 3 days, because i have permission with my Mi account right away. This time.
But i overlooked the simple solution. I put the Mi Unlock Tool in a folder in C:
Before it was still in folder Download with a link to my dashboard. That did not work. In folder in C: it worked immediately.

It should work fine if you have the credentials necessary or waiting for couple of days.
Lastly should anything go awry in the process or you're really desperate you can view this thread. The cable method works better than the test point method.
Hopefully i helped.
You can try to register on miui. Tell them you are developer. You need unlock code. It is not necessary that your country is not supported. You can get unlock code. Some Mi model are ready for unlock.
I installed Android 12 via orange fox. Later I wanted to go back to Android 11, but there were some problems in the recovery due to changing the kernel -i think-, so I flashed Fastboot, and I went back to the MIUI interface.
The problem is that I tried to unlock the bootloader again, but MiUnlock told me I have to wait 168 hours and I can't wait,
There is another problem that I checked the number of hours again after 9 hours and it was not affected!!!!!!!!
before fastboot flashed i tried to flash boot.img (from anyrom) but didn't work

If the unlock remaining hours popup, you have to wait. No way around.
If the hour don't drop, logout account on phone and on PC, factory reset, then login again and do unlock request.

It will not instantly unlock. You will not be able to unlock today. You have to wait 7 days.
Read notes in step 6. You probably did that again and again.

when you flash a12
you have to your wipe data, system by fastboot
flash twrp again boot into twrp
again format data, system vendor
make sure your recovery support decrypt
by format internal but locked bootloader
you have to wait now untill rom allow to unlock it
but you can try a trick turn off internet and location
or do a rest chnage date and time ahead 168 hours
try or reboot or try
good luck
and thums up if it will work
