Hi! Today, I decided to try to install GCam on my Mi A1 running the August 2018 update. I have successfully installed the GCam Mod on my Mi A1. But when I wanted to lock the bootloader, I accidentally wiped clean all my data and now there is a pop-up stating my system has been destroyed. I cannot boot into the stock ROM, however, I can enter fastboot. So, I tried flashing the stock ROM into my phone using the XiaoMiFlash tool. It failed and showed me an error message. That error message can be seen here: imgur.com/a/naxM0WB (sorry I haven't posted enough posts to grant me URL sharing). I assume the error was caused because my phone has a screen lock. Also, the ADB drivers don't recognize my device and my phone also failed to enter EDL mode. BTW I'm a newbie to this and I cannot do anything that will involve me opening the device.
Can anyone please help me flash the stock ROM?
Thanks,
KN
SOLVED: So, it turns out that you need to unlock your device with Mi Unlock and everything will be back to normal.
You have locked your bootloader with modified system. Unlock it and reflash stock ROM.

Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.
My phone just unlocked while installing Google cam ,while locking there an error msg the system has been destroyed. How to fix this problem? Will I miss ota updates if unlocked?
hey bro your rooting device is locking bootloader and device is crashing Flashing OPR1.170623.026.8.1.10 Rom...
Your gcam used tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585
Is fastboot available? If it is, try flashing an official rom thru the Mi Flash tool.
Have you solve the problem? I have the same problem
The fastboot it's available but when I use the xiaomi program to reload the stock room, appears like looked and doesn't work.
Someone knows how to fix it?
Thx
I have a problem and I need help.
I trying to install the gcam on my Mi A1, but it didn't work very well and my phone had some performance problems. So I went to reinstall the ROM of the mobile via MiFlash and did the whole process, unlocked the bootloader via CMD and everything, and worked.
However, when I started the smarthphone, I saw that the device is in bootloop mode, I can only see the white screen and the logo of Xiaomi or put it in fastboot mode. I tried to unlock the bootloader to install the ROM and this photo error appears. I can not install the system again because it has to have the bootloader unlocked.
My problem is just like this video, but the problem is I can unlock the bootloader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51LnEOrM3nQ
This appears when I tried to reinstall the OS with bootloader lock: https://imgur.com/uAVuFle
I took in a technical assistance and they said that his internal memory has been corrupted, and they can not do anything.
What else can I do to revive him?
Urgent help needed as I'm leaving the country at the end of the week o any help is appreciated!
Just successfully rooted my device:
Black, Unlocked, PRA-LX1, UK, Dual SIM
After doing so successfully, I attempted to flash LineageOS from the following link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/p8-lite-2017-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-hi6250-devices-t3811583
Although when I completed Step 6 on the Installation guide and rebooted the phone, I started seeing the message:
------------------
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
(Green Android picture)
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
------------------
Despite this, I didn't receive a box with my phone due to being second hand, and I didn't see the model number on the receipt as it was from a reselling store. I didn't remember to note down the specific model number
It'd be extremely helpful if someone could possibly help just from the device description above as I'm not sure if it's safe for me to just attempt to flash every stock rom for every other LX1 device out there.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
To restore this, I connected via fastboot with a working USB & flashed an original stock recovery in the video found here
(Just in case their download link ever goes down, I have uploaded the same copy to my MEGA, found here)
The recovery installed fine when using the command
fastboot flash recovery oeminfo.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whenever trying to flash any other recovery such as twrp before this fastboot stuck on a loading icon.
The stock recovery seems to be downloading the original firmware, too.
PRA-LX1C432B202 is presumably the model.
Both the bootloader and FRA were unlocked when everything else was inaccessible.
Looks like the custom ROM's recovery that you've flashed is not compatible with PRA-LX1. Try to flash stock recovery. If not working, then flash stock firmware.
Thanks @Botar230!
I didn't see your comment until just now after deciding to edit this post since I've gotten a step closer to restoring my device.
Your solution was the method I used although I didn't know my phone model, so I found a random solution which just worked for my device, and the eRecovery seems to be downloading the stock firmware anyways. Thanks again
Before flashing this lineage os you should update to EMUI8 to get treble support, i suppose you was running EMUI5, hence the error mode.
About phone: Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21C432B161 (central Europe)
First modifications
A long time ago i unlocked bootloader and successfully rooted the phone. I turned off OEM unlock option in settings after rooting, because someone said i should do so for security. Then came EMUI 5 OTA. It somehow updated itself without me agreeing. Android nougat detected, that the bootloader was unlocked and so it assumed that OEM unlock option was also ENABLED when it really wasn't, making me unable to re-enable the option.
So i used the https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/tutorial-rollback-n-to-mm-c432-devices-t3563955432-devices-t3563955" <-- official rollback package and installed stock ROM through dload.
Here is the part where i messed up horribly
Now i wanted to update to android 7 again, but updater wasn't giving it to me and i was unable to flash it through TWRP. I installed the rollback package again through download mode as it said it allows any ROM to be installed, hoping i could then install android 7 through Download mode, which would in turn allowed me to install newer version of TWRP to then install a nougat based custom ROM.
Current situation
Now i am stuck at the 'Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. TWRP 3.0.1 should be installed but it never boots. Can't access bootloader, phone doesn't seem to be detecting the Power+Volume down combination. Recovery gets stuck at the shorter warning screen during boot, erecovery gets stuck as well. This has been like this even before i tried this, no idea what caused it. I can't even access download mode, which gets stuck at the shorter warning screen as well.
What i hope to achieve now
At best: To make it work again.
At worst: To at least be able to turn it off somehow so the text doesn't get burnt into the screen in case i ever manage to fix it.
Thanks in advance
