Hey guys, as far as I am aware, the unofficial method/s for unlock boot loader has changed since vendor rom 8.0.5.
Is there a safe method to unlock bootloader via adb? etc
Thanks for any info' and help.
I unlocked my bootloader with official global stable rom 8.2.1..

kk, yeah can confirm I just did the same, via unlock tool method, official way, same hour phone arrived. Cheers.
Bootloader and everything else unlocked, I wanted to root the device, so I downloaded SuperSU here -> https://download.chainfire.eu/212/SuperSU/, I've waited for more than 10 minutes but the phone get stuck at the black screen with the MI logo and mi.com below. I still manage to get into recovery, already tried to do both wipe dalvik/ART cache and wipe cache, no way... please, don't tell me that I have to format and flash again the ROM.

Dirty flash ROM, but i think YOU WILL HAVE TO make a clean flash.

What do you mean "dirty flash ROM"? Can I at least save my pictures? I can still access to them via TWRP file manager. And would you link a good and easy guide to flashing? It's my first Xiaomi's device, I've always been with Samsung or LG.
Install -> flash ROM... dirty flash it's a flash without wiping all data, formating etc.

I have a 2012 Nexus 7. At the time it had a locked bootloader but it was rooted with cm11 & TWRP on board. I downloaded the Nexus toolkit & tried to upgrade to lollipop when it was officially released. Somewhere along the line, I think the system partition got corrupted. I can manually flash all IMG files except system. I can get into bootloader & recovery. I even tried flashing TWRP again to reflash cm. TWRP took but cm failed to install. Anyone else have this issue? The tablet appears to boot but it just gets stuck at the Google screen with the lock at the bottom. Never goes past that point. Any help to revive this tablet would be much appreciated.

Can you enter recovery or fastboot mode? If so, use either to attempt and repair (format) the system partition, then reflash the ROM of your choice.

In Twrp recovery,
1. go to wipe menu and advanced wipe.
2. select system partition then tap repair.
3.Flash your rom

Ok so that worked to flash cm but will this continue to happen if I try flashing the official lollipop update? I'm trying to return to stock so I can give the tablet to my nephew. I don't want him jumping into recovery or bootloader & wrecking it for good
Hey sombody plz help me to get through this,I installed the OTA then I unlocked bootlocker and installed the custom recovery twrp 2.8.7v2 ....then I tried to install the SuperSU....but after flashed it through twrp,I was stucked at "Warning Bootlocker Unlocked" screen for like 15 min,so then I tried to clear cache and then reboot....But that also not help,Then i tried format all the data and tried to to strt in factory mode.but still stucked at same screen.Now what should I do to get into the phone ?PLz ....its urgent
Well the thing you could do is factory resetting via TWRP or you could download a new ROM like CM 12.1 that you can find in the original android developer section and flash it with TWRP, your phone would boot up now. Keep in mind that you will lose everything.

The same happend to me, you must have installed the wrong SU version, just reflash stock firmware via fastboot and reinstall OTA, then if u wanna root use SuperSU v2.61, hope it helps.
Just flashed the CM12.1 through twrp ,problem is solved in a way.

It will work fine.Backup your current system using twrp and then flash cm12.1.

hope fully there would not be any problem....but in case of going wrong with something you should make a back up with twrp to go back to previous build,and yes ,before flashing any rom, you should wipe your cache ,dalvik cache and data......and system if u need...depends upon you

first of all, which super su zip u r trying to flash ???? only this super su - "SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip" works on MXP...... after unlocking the boot loader u need to flash first twrp custom recovery...then entering into twrp interface,format the whole internal memory (I m sorry,u have to do that,no other way is possible)...... then put cm12 zip which u want to flash in sd card then flash the zip through twrp....... I guess this way your problem would be solved.....
If u flashed the correct mentioned supersu you should be fine.It happened 3 times also to me.I just press power continuously to power off and then it boots normally.
Please in case of SuperSU do not use 2.62-3 anymore, use 2.79SR3. Both are supposed to work, but 2.79SR3 is newer and has some bugfixes.
Note: The release 2.79 will not work, the detection fix to install systemless for all Moto devices is only integrated in 2.79SR3. 2.62-3 does no detection, it always installs systemless.

yea for some reason installing OTA's even with fireflash is a issue, id like to install otas on my stock miui v8 weekly with root and unlocked BL
first, you should have 2 things:
1. Stock recovery.img, (taken from fastboot rom)
2. Stock Rom (Stable/ Dev)
How To:
1. Copy it to internal storage
2. Go to TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik/art cache.
3. Flash Stock Rom and then reboot.
4. @ home, reboot to recovery again (go to updater app to do this), after on TWRP, flash stock recovery, then reboot again to system.
5. @ home, goes to updater, flash again stock rom with it. (open option, choose choose update package)
6. Well, you should have OTA right now.
It works on mine.

Once you unlock the bootloader, it stays unlocked. I've switched back and forth between MIUI, CM13 and RR but my bootloader was never locked.

Better stay at china dev, it has native root. So if you want to get twrp, root, than flash twrp.img via flashify.
Or, if on global/stable, flash twrp via fastboot

Maybe bootloader locked?
Than trie mi flash tool. Flash the lastest official mi rom. Make sure that you flash the right rom for your device. I heard, there are problems, if you flash wrong one and downgrade. When flashing don't lock your bootloader again.
Wrong section!!!

You should flash vbmeta.img of your current version of miui before you wipe it all.

Just like flashing recovery

If vbmeta flash didn't improve your situation, you must flash a fastboot official rom via Miflash tool.
If new to this use Miflashpro latest, it will guide you in the rom choice and download.

If the custom recovery will shown, then you can easily manage to flash ROM back wipe dalvic/cache, cache, data, system and format data type yes. And so you can flash ROM as brand new. But take note everything on your device will wipe including photos and files. But it is the way to get back your phone to life.
1 - Download this and unrar
2-enter fastboot
3-run Flash_TWRP.bat and follow instruction
