A lot of users have locked bootloader on Global 8.0.3.0 rom, which can not be unlocked in regular way without deep flash cable (for installing china rom for example). In near future (if they do not delay again) we will have Global developer rom for Xiaomi mi 5s, so simple question is, can we install that rom with updater app even with locked bootloader?
Install Global 8.2.1.0 (en.miui.com/thread-567657-1-1.html). There you can enter the unlock informations in developer options.
I think that rom can not be verified when installing with updater app. With Mi flash I can not install because I have locked bootloader...
However, that was not my question... I asked can we install global dev with updater app if our bootloader is locked?

You can install the fastboot version (not recovery) of the rom through miflash. In fact, that is the only way to go from global stable to china developer with locked bootloader or at least the only way I know. The global developer has been delayed.

So, if I understand you, china developer & global developer can be flashed with Mi flash even my bootloader is locked?

I still think you need to deep flash in order to do this.

Nah, you really need deep flash for this or expect for OTA (which has been delayed so long).
I must wait for OTA only to bound account to device in developer option, to unlock bootloader...

That was the only way I managed to unlock the bootloader, by installing te developer ROM. The updater app didn't work, neither did MiFlash.
I will wait for OTA, because I do not have deep flashe cable and do not know how to flash with that cable....
Hey, developer global is available and you can install just download the file and use updater app
I can confirme that, did the update with de updater app and everything went fine
Thanks
Just installed global beta and gonna try to unlock bootloader...
EDIT:
Bootloader unlocked... If anyone got error "Binding time is too short...", just use older version of Mi flash unlock tool, or wait given time to unlock bootloader.
Which older version of Mi flash?
What is the ver number of it?

Just update to Global beta with updater app (before backup everything, because is gonna delete data), than you can unlock your bootloader...if you have permission from Xiaomi, of course...On Miui 8.0.3.0 you can not unlock bootloader.

Thank you.
I unlocked bootloader of mi note 5 pro, then installed twrp,
When I flashed miui 10 through twrp, then I pressed reboot system in twrp
Than my mobile is completely dead,
I lost my phone
I tried to flash fastboot global rom through mi flash tool in edl mode it asking for mi Authorised account, and I don't have mi Authorised account to flash that rom
If anyone have ideas to bypass the authentication of mi flash tool or any other ideas to flash the rom, please help me, my dad is angry on me, and I promised that I will get my device bank.
I don't understand why do you people flash twrp to flash MIUI10. You can easily flash Miui10 with Mi Recovery and with locked bootloader
There is no way that your mobile will brick if you try to install latest MIUI10 ROM. I think you did something else

Yee it is possble to relock, but you have to do so by using the mi flash tools to flash the xiaomi fastboot rom and tick the box called "clean all and lock" before you flash it

I ****ed up.
I was coming from miui weekly eu version, I wanted to flash a GSI image. I did in twrp, GSI pixel experience arm a only. Didn't boot further till mi logo. So fastboot flashed miui10 stable and booted till setup screen. Boot asked for a password after GSI boot. So I wanted to try a different GSI and reflashed. Didn't work also. Again fastboot flashed miui10, this time I forgot to unselect 'format and lock' didnt saw that. Now it won't boot in system and twrp, and also can't unlock bootloader anymore with mi unlocked as my phone is somehow not linked to my account anymore.
What am I supposed to do now?

Yes I tried flashing custom recovery. Says it can't flash it as my bootloader is not unlocked. Did the fastboot flash again because I wanted to do a deep clean flash again. But forgot to unselect the lock button. Now its locked and only booting in standard miui recovery and fastboot.

Why did you keep using fastboot to flash stock most of these need xiaomi.eu ROM as a base which can be flashed via twrp whatever version you use and it's because you chose flash all and lock hence your stuck now as can't unlock bootloader. I just recovered mine from ARB EDL brick as invought it cheap in that state. You need to flash a stock version version that's suitable to get stock working then attach your account in settings so bootloader unlock can work. My model was Chinese so I needed flash Chinese stock and started again. If your phone was originally Chinese start there then unlock the bootloader etc.

In a nutshell flash and lock with stock version for phone as if Chinese flash and lock won't work with a global stock ROM. Flash a Chinese stock to get back into system and start over again

Yes flash the latest official Chinese not global stock using mi flash tool as that will get your phone back up and running on stock. Then add your account in settings so bootloader unlock can see it. Enable dev setting tick OEM unlock and add account. Unlock your boot loader and your back again mate. If you could have unlocked your boot loader the global would boot but not while it's locked.
1. Flash latest CN firmware
2. Add account in settings after set up
3. Try bootloader unlock again should not have to wait if unlocked before
4. Flash twrp and keep copy of xiaomi.eu ROM on your micro SD card as that's all you need to flash in recovery to return to stock. It's flashed via recovery without errors

Anyone who can fix this hard brick gets $10 worth of Bitcoin or Ethereum from me.
Hmmm, if you bootloader can be unlocked. I can help you because I hard-bricked my phone because of the Anti Rollback by flashing an earlier version of global pie beta over the current one (10.2.1.0). I had someone from the s-unlock website unbrick my device for me because my Mi account had no authorization to finish the Mi Flash process. So instead, the tech guy used his authorized mi account to bypass the Mi Flash install remotely on my computer to make my phone work again.

My account is verified but I am not signed into it on my phone as I can not boot into system.
Basically you need to flash the latest version of the Chinese stock miui but I haven't seen any tool that does that while bootloader is locked. You won't be able to unless you have bootloader unlocked. It bootloader gets unlocked phone will boot normal but your account should still been linked as phone was signed into it previously. Strange that it won't recognise your account when using the bootloader unlock tool

That is the problem. I was booted into system but skipped the option for logging into my mi account as it was only to get past the unlock screen. Then did the clean flash again but then with the flash all and lock then I couldn't boot into system anymore. I'm seriously in trouble now, I loved this phone. Thankfully I still have a Mi A1 which I use now but it kinda sucks tho.
I guess its the end for this device.
I cant boot into system. I cant flash TWRP as my bootloader is locked (Token verify failed).

Mi Max 3 was a good one, RIP
can you please answer me , if i can flash the Official Firmware (enhanced edition 12.5.6) of the Redmi K40 on the Poco F3 using Mi_Flash_Tool with unlocked bootloader in Fastboot Mode ?!
Thanks in advance
i cant see any issue as long as flash all & lock is not selected. Why not just install Miui vn or Eu they are based on china.
Yes you can but dont lock bootloader.

The ROM miui vn is also the enhanced edition i believe. Regarding flashing the official once via mib flash in sure it's fine as long as you don't lock bootloader with it.

If u lock bootloader after flash, the motherboard crash because not same region that he configurated. So if u let him unlock bootloader, ure device won't think about region and let u boot into ure china rom

it is not about the motherboard , it is about the bootloader because it the system check for your device and its security , it does not crash it will not boot because the bootloader cannot accept such system to run on that partition except the official one for the motherboard
So, it is mandatory to unlock the bootloader even when you are flashing stock firmware?
Just don't lock it again with other firmware?
I'm currently using Global MIUI 12.5.4 version but was thinking of flashing Mi 11x firmware.

No, It only applies here where the firmware wasn't made for the device but if you're going to flash a stock firmware that was made for your device the you don't need to unlock it
