I dont think unlocking bootloader voids warranty if u did it officially. Or you can just relock it easily.

You can use the unlock tool to unlock the bootloader lock, unlock the en.miui.com application, and then you can use the miflash brush
Miui 9 Global developer rom has been release, just download and install via updater. No need unlock bootloader
Hello everyone! I hope and everyone is well in this quarantine, the topic of this post is the following. I have a Redmi Note 8 PRO the Chinese version to be exact and a few days ago I was on Android 10 global version with the bootloader unlocked and so far without problems, it happens that due to ignorance I use the tool of my flash to block the bootloader and go down to Android 9 global at the same time when after my cell phone was brick is that I informed myself of the issue that I could not block it since it is the Chinese version and now I do not know how to recover it because when I try to use my flash to flash an official ROM from China it puts a error "crlist error" something I do not understand, and the biggest problem is that I have the locked bootloader and I cannot unlock it because when I was going to flash the device had removed my Xiaomi account. Please if someone knows a solution for my case I would be eternally grateful to you.

Find somebody with an UFI Box. Have them flash the phone remotely. It's not always 100% successful though.
Boot with a spare hard drive or computer. They log in via TeamViewer and install all their files. This includes mods to the registry, unsigned drivers and disabling your Windows Security. But that is the only way to make the box and flash software work.
Hello all,
As a consequence of a recent OTA update to MIUI 12.5.2, Google Play and Google apps ceased to work on my Redmi Note 8 Pro (begonia) CN version. In order to have them back again, I am considering switching to a stock ROM for the global version of the RN8Pro.
Does this sound like a reasonable plan?
Are there hardware differences between the CN version and the global version of the RN8Pro?
Can I go ahead and flash a global version ROM over a CN version ROM?
Would this allow me to install Google Play and Google apps on the RN8Pro?
Thanks!
You can. You are not asking for impossible. But it will cost you your data as your phone will be wiped in the process.
The procedure is Unlock bootloader -> Flash Global/EEA/Indonesia/Xiaomi.eu ROM (but the guys at xiaomi.eu stopped the development of the ROM long ago, so only ancient version of MIUI is available) OR even a custom ROM (wichever you like). You will find the corresponding tutorial in this device's forum.
@kekesed97: Thanks!
After a one-week wait (Xiaomi imposes this waiting period for bootloader unlocking), I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash a stock global ROM to my RN8Pro. Everything went fine. The phone was working perfectly, with its bootloader still unlocked.
Then I fell into a trap.
After reading about things that would not work on a phone with unlocked bootloader (Google Pay, banking apps, etc.), I decided to relock the bootloader of my RN8Pro. Did that by running "fastboot oem lock" on a PC connected to the phone.
Relocking the bootloader kind of bricked the phone. The RN8Pro is now stuck in the menu for "MIUI Recovery 5.0", with the following message at the bottom of the screen:
"This MIUI version can't be installed on this device"
Is there a way out of this trap?

Some GooglePay and banking apps can be used after pass safetynet by doing something with Magisk. And you should read something about lock bootloader before doing that. China phone only can be locked with China Miui roms, by chose clean and lock on Miflashtool (best way to prevent brick). So if you want to do that, better downgrade to Miui 12.0.x to use Google apps and no more updates. And if anything else you want to be helped, join group on Telegram and get help.

Thanks, @Kirasu2080. Now I see that I should have flashed a MIUI 12.0.x China version ROM, rather than a global ROM.
But I still don't see how to fix things... Since phone is stuck in recovery with its bootloader locked, it appears as there is no way for me to downgrade now.

Use free unbrick hardbrick method for this. You can search Youtube videos, some solve problems, some not work, some make you lose Imei. That's why i told you join Telegram group for direct chat.
I have the global vesrsion of the Redmi note 8 pro. I want to flash the Euro version on it without unlocking the bootloader. Is this possible with the MiFlash tool?

You need to do the "EDL mode or Test point".
Lock xiaomi devices can be unbricked using that method.
Flash firmware using EDL or Test point mode. Please search in youtube.
Hello there, I've bought this model.
There was a custom ROM flashed on it when I get it.
I've flashed it back by the Stock Firmware.
Then I saw that the device is locked by Xiaomi.
What can I do?
The best option would be to unlock it with the Stock Firmware on it, so I would have any other Option,.
If this isn't possible I would like to know how I can flash a custom ROM on it.
The bootloader is also locked, so please help me.
Bye, JonnyBoy84

Ask seller for unlock bootloader again (Official way) and remove his account from phone. (But I don't think he had, maybe he got the phone by unofficial way also)
Or you can use free unofficial tool to unlock it (Unofficial way, easy to find on YouTube).
Then choose one custom rom from forum.
Follow guide and enjoy the rom
Hi there, please be gentle with me, I'm not especially software savvy but am seeking help before I make a big mistake!
I bought a Redmi Pad from ebay (lesson learned) which has arrived with an unlocked bootloader. The device is labelled as a 22081283G running MIUI Pad Global 13.1.4, Android version 12 SP1A.210812.016. I can't install certain apps as Google Play says it isn't Play Protected, which a quick search suggests is because the bootloader is unlocked (which I saw from an unlocked padlock symbol when rebooting)? Is there a simple way to 'relock' the bootloader and return it to being able to install apps like Netflix from the Play store? If not, it's going back for a refund which would be a shame as it's otherwise a gorgeous device. Am nervous about attempting anything complex in case I brick it - the first post I hit when searching around this issue suggested relocking the bootloader could do this.
Many, many thanks in advance for any advice!
Install platform tools on a laptop or pc, then shut down your device. Boot up it while holding volume down, then use fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
OR
fastboot flashing lock
try both of these, one should work. This will wipe all data. Then just boot up.
Hi! Thanks for the assist. Would I risk encountering the issue posted here? This is the post that got me nervous that re-locking could inadvertently brick the device?

Okay, what I think happened to them is their device did not have stock firmware. That would make it brick. Google and find your devices stock firmware, flash it, then lock.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to flash firmware. The tablet shows a version that I think is the firmware, as "13.1.4.0(SLYEUXM)". This appears to correspond to a version I found here:
Redmi Pad ROM Download: latest update MIUI 14, Android 13
Download Redmi Pad yunluo firmware & flash file from official website. Latest MIUI 14 and Android 13 update for 22081283G (Global), 22081283C (China)
miuirom.org
Does that mean I'm already on stock firmware?
Try to accept a software update if there are any.
Have updated everything it will let me update. How do I conclusively tell if I'm running stock firmware?
If you can install a official OTA update, you are stock.

Hello.
I see you said it could brick your device. I mean, yes, it's possible but if nothing was modified nothing should happen. Anyway, if you want to be completly safe, use the Mi Flash Tool and download th Fastboot ROM. Choose Clean all and lock and you should be good to go.
