rom booting problem
hello guys i have a xiaomi mi 6. I got it from china and wanted to change to a global rom. I started all the proccess and when I tryied to select the rom i pressed the global stable one and it started downloading and installing the global developer rom. When it finished installing I started the device and when i selected the language the phone started rebooting and didnt stop doing that. then I trying to put an other rom to the phone and it didnt let me because i didnt have usb debugging enabled and i couldnt enable it because the device wasnt able to open further than the lock screen. I tryed unlocking the bootloader but me account wasnt linked with the device any more so it wasnt possible. I somebody help please. I am not able to use my device.

Ah but to change from China to global ROM or the other way requires unlocked boot loader...
Otherwise stuff like this happens.
The boot loader can be relocked again after the process.
Since the boot loader is locked there is less chance to solve the problem as you won't be able to flash twrp or use fastboot to flash firmware to the phone.
Another solution will be needed
That exactly happened to me.
I unbricked my phone with testpoint method.
It's easy procedure but you will have to open up your phone..
I Did it and never opened a phone before, its about open it and link 2 dots with a wire or something, and Then it goes to download mode and allows you to use mi flash and flash mi6. I recommend chinese developer rom (it will allow you to unlock bootloader afterwards)
Watch this russian guy do it, he makes it easy it took hours for me just search "mi6 testpoint" on YouTube
I got it fixed thank you guys

i have the same issue of not able to get into recovery but able to go into fastboot while trying to boot normally just gets stuck at logo phone is able to charge. Showed to a local repair shop who says its a power ic issue searched web where someone mentioned about issue w flash memory (this was for some samsung phone not sure if it applies to mi). I have no clue does anyone know how i can eliminate some of my doubs step by step?
1. I think it may be my power/volume button strip but i dont know how can i test thee device without the strip (i have some schematics) .
2. Maybe Rom issue and since bootloader is locked and no usb debugging enabled nor i can unlock it using official tool since it requires me to go to developer settings and link my mi account i cant flash anything (though i came across some posts claiming you can bypass edl authorization using 2017-18 flash tools and anti5 test i dont have a clue as to what to do).
3. due to recent conflicts i cannot access mi india forums and nor can download proper official stock rom( since its my relatives phone i dont know what version it was on )
4. the phone was dropped previously which cracked the glass but was in working condition for more than 3-4 months atleast .Cant find any trace of water damage inside.
5. got some schematics from web by searching here and there but i dont know how to troubleshoot lol.
Any help would be appreciated , i cannot trust local technicians as there have been past incidences of missing parts from device after they keep for a day and return next day(skeptical if there are some parts missing or replaced w defective ones ).
Will update if i get it working.
Hey. I followed the steps successfully unlocked bootloader and flashed the global firmware many times and now every time I boot in I get ui force closes. And I can't seem to find a stock tmobile fastboot rom.. I guess there are none... I'm trying to figure out msmtool but I can't get into developer options to click adb debugging... any help would be appreciated

There is fastboot ROMs for stock rom
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7t-t3979213
Try a factory reset, may help with that. Also you can boot to bootloader while in recovery.It has a option to reboot to bootloader to flash in fastboot
Just an update I got msm tool to work so my life is saved lol
I just did a warranty exchange do I have to wait 40 days for this on network?

Great aviator Orioles fan here born and raised in bmore
Hi everybody,
yesterday I tried flashing the stock pocof3 rom back onto my phone, but since it got stuck in a bootloop at the fastboot logo. Showing the poco logo for a milisecond and then straight to fastboot..
(before this I flashed twrp and the arrowOS recovery and images a few time trying, without succes, to install this rom)
Last thing I did was flash via the mi-flash tool and did't see the "clean and lock" selection so it's also in lock state again.
I cant get adb to find the phone although the mi-flashtool is finding it.
anyone any tips?
I tried the vol up power trick, but this didn't help, keeps loading into fastboot
Did Mi Flash give an error message after trying to flash?

I dont recall giving an error, so i dont think so
now it is though, when trying to flash the firmware. error erasing boot_ab (failed: erase not allowed in lock state)

I'm not sure, but you may still be able to flash official ROMs.
But in "Configuration" make sure Erase is disabled

BAD NEWS... your Poco is bricked. You cannot flash ANYTHING using a PC when your bootloader is locked.
(I did same thing on a Mi11 5g last week and ended up selling it on eBay for spare & repairs
I tried sideload flash, miflash, copying update.zip to internal storage via ADB, and many other options - all without success).
- if your POCO is under warranty in your country (i.e. not a chinese import)... contact Xiaomi Support they can re-flash correct ROM
- Ask your local phone repair store... they *might* be able to flash original ROM back by using "Chimera" engineering software.

this doesn't seem to be an option. there is a checkbox with "erase all" but all are already unchecked

- Bootloader was re-locked whilst a custom ROM was in the phone.
(MIUI with Locked bootloader will not boot up where ROM is not stock or does not match the region/product code).
You cannot apply for bootoader unlock because you cannot boot up into Android and request the unlock via Developer mode.
You cannot remotely (via PC cable) flash any ROM into a Xiaomi / POCO phone whilst botloader is locked.
You are in a chicken and egg situation.,,, but if you find a way to repair your phone, please let us know how you achieved it.
Good luck!
If the system hasn't booted up yet there is a chance that you will be able to unlock bootloader again. Try it.

That's what I'm thinking too ...
Connect the phone to pc and do the bootloader unlock again via the mi unlock app - you don't need to apply again and stuff as long as you're able to recognise the phone inside app correctly

thanks everyone for all the replies!
tried unlocking it via the mi unlock tool (latest) but it says (in chinese) its locked by nr 123***456 by searching the phone - can't unlock
edit:
google lens translates:
X The phone has been locked by the account number 661****647 by searching the phone, Can't unlock
but it's not the nr. of my account..

Is it not even possible to flash Official ROMs?
Isn't there like a system that it checks the signature of the ROM and if it's a signed ROM it allows the flash? Or am I mistaken?

Nope bootload locked = no 'remote' flashes via pc
Apparently there is an 'authenticated user' mode for Xiaomi engineers in MiFlaah and also an EDL Emergency Download Mode which you can trigger by shorting out 2 pins on the motherboard so bypass bootloader lock and flash any ROM
Neither were available options for me

I also tried to simulate a local OTA by copying update.zip to internal storage using ADB push command and booting into recovery mode to flash ... But it doesn't work for me

I'm now in the procedure to sent it back under warranty. any idea if this is possible and what the cost would be if not under warranty?
If all fails i'll try the shorting by pins, should be interesting
I think a warranty repair claim is your best bet ... I have never read anywhere that unlocking bootloader invalidates Xiaomi warranty (Unlike Samsung and so many other brands!)
If warranty repair is re refused try a few independent repair shops
Last resort is get the back cover off the phone and short out the EDL pins
Good luck!
Let us know if you manage to get your phone booting up again

I once hardbricked (complete blackscreen, not even Fastboot reachable) a Poco F3.
I requested a replacement from Amazon and that worked.
I said a software update bricked it.
Of course having to do that is really bad, but I was scared of opening the back.

You can try this tool.
https://xiaomitools.com/sp-flash-tool-en/
There are also other tools, do a search on XDA and Google.
thx. i tried it, but the problem is that i could not get into edl. the com port is showing up for 1 sec and then it reboots and get into fastboot.
sp tool doesnt accept the scatter file from my rom.
is it possible to flash twrp with locked bootloader and restore it?
or is the only way to get a remote support?
thx

It is not obvious for recent devices if the soc is not supported.
EDL mode is only for Qualcomm devices.
A few links that might be helpful:

thx,
so i've tried the tools.
i get into preloader state but wihout serial port so mtk stucks. Maybe its windows 11?
i also tried the xiaomi tool v2 but its horrible, cause our phone is not in recovery list (i wrote the developer to import it)
also in sp flash tool i don't get the button to bypass security
If still under warranty, send it.
