[Q&A] How to flash a stock rom with the locked bootloader?

2020-04-10 18:35:02

Hi guys, I made a mess and need help.

I was using a version of MIUI and decided to go back to the stock ROM. I downloaded a fastboot ROM and installed it, but at the end the phone showed a message of a damaged system and goes directly into fastboot mode.

The problem is that the bootloader lock option was selected and now i can't do any process that i get the information from the locked bootloader. I've made countless attempts and nothing works.

My phone is bricked and i don't know what to do. Anyone can help me?

Setting current slot to 'a'                        FAILED (remote: 'Slot Change is not allowed in Lock State
')
fastboot: error: Command failed


Fastboot shows me this message.

                                                   FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed


And that's the message i get when i try to unlock with ADB Tools.

you can unlock the bootloader again if your device is detected in fastboot devices. 1st, fastboot flashing unlock. 2nd fastboot flashing unlock_critical. 3rd Manual installation of stock fastboot rom. make sure you flashed all the necessary .imgs'. visit this website for guidance,

we have the same experience. I just followed all the steps cited in that particular website. It took me almost 2hours of manually encoding the all of the given commands using cmd. and I'm very happy that the result was successful. It was my first time doing such thing.

I've been looking for solutions for three days and I can't find anything.
Many people talk to enter EDL mode, but i can't do it without having to disassemble the device. And i don't want to have to do that.
