Locked bootloader,formatted,only fastboot

Hello,i have the Redmi Pro but it was with fake os from the vendor.So i tried to unlock the bootloader as xiaomi suggested.I thought i have unlocked it,in the test menu it said unlock so i went to the next step.Downloaded SP Flash Tool,downloaded the stable rom and tried to flash the rom.
There was a problem with the cust.img file so i downloaded the suggested one for the fix but now it says that the img is a mismatch.
With a locked bootloader i can not flash through fastboot because it says it is not allowed,so does the XiaoMiFlash application.
No,the fastboot oem unlock doesn't work.
What can i do now?
Thanks in advance!

Use
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
to unlock the bootloader.
You may also need to unlock the critical partitions by typing:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
You can flash factory images using the batchfile in the firmware archive or using MiFlash. You can also flash in Snapdragon EDL-(Emergency Download) Mode (bootloader unlocked is necessary) by typing:
Code:
fastboot oem edl

Try again with more available RAM (eg. close Google Chrome).

I got the same error even with only miflash open and 8gb ram.

In theory - yes http://en.miui.com/thread-3439864-1-1.html But you can break your phone very easily doing it.

Did you install all Xiaomi drivers using MiFlash and disabled driver signature?
Did you also unlock the critical partitions?

Try one of the batch files from the stock rom via command prompt. E.g. flash_all.bat, which worked for me as MiFlash did not want to do the job, too. Unlock critical is needed though.

The only way to flash was in EDL/Test Point mode. I opened the phone but you can use a Xiaomi deep flash cable (EDL cable).

You can also boot into EDL mode from fastboot (needs bootloader unlocked) by typing the following command:
Code:
fasboot oem edl

So did anyone flash fastboot ROM with success using MiFlash or not?

Yes, my flash succeeded sucessfully after the second try. I got an error (system_b flashing failed), I closed Chrome to free up more RAM and the flash finished.

To unlock the bootloader, do I need to create a xiaomi account and request a token to unlock it or can I use the usual
>fastboot oem unlock
?

A2017G How to relock bootloader on Nougat B10

I came back from LOS 16.0. Flashed A2017G_B10_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL in EDL but there's a warning that my bootloader is locked. I wanted to relock it but the warning prevents me from entering bootloader or fastboot (or maybe they are not even present....). Next I flashed A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL in MiFlash but it did not do anything. It flashed OK but I still cannot access fastboot. Should I flash some marshmallow rom? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem. Cannot enter fastboot mode on Nougat ROM.

Ok I found the way usin Axon 7 Toolkit
1. Set the Android version to 7 using option 13
2. Perform unlock bootloader
Following instruction Axon & Tookit gives you EDL image of the proper fastboot partition giving the possibility to enter fastboot mode
then fasboot oem lock

I wanted to say thanks that works, but apparently my phone is bricked now - it hangs on green ZTE logo. PC recognizes it as DFU. Cannot enter EDL either. I guess I look for some guide how to recover from this situation
Managed to fix that. Somehow I was able to enter fastboot. It said my bootloader was locked so i flashed TWRP and from TWRP using ADB installed stock Nougat rom

That's the point, you can flash the original firmware (the same one that is currently in your smartphone) even with locked bootloader. Try it before you say it can't be done.

Nope buddy boot loader is locked and system is already installed therefore mi flash tool ia unable to erase it cuz it shows me error cannot erase in lock state i tried flashing stock global rom through mi flash tool

exactly - flash stock rom for fastboot - I've done it multiple times

Try using some older flashing tool and if that doesn't work try using some older Chinese flashing tool and of course the fastboot firmware file in the format *.tgz*.

Ok so i found a mi unlock tool which is a modded verion of original tool what it does is bypass server authentication and unlocks bootloader of device thanks it wont connect to xiaomi for checking device unlocking permission and will unlock it

relocking bootloader

Hi,
I am having a problem trying to relock my bootloader.
i am selling my g4, so needed to remove my custom rom, flash stock and relock my bootloader.
I downloaded and flashed via twrp the stock 8.1 ROM on the g4 plus page. ( stock rom in twrp format)
That went fine.
Then I booted into fastboot , and entered fastboot lock command fastboot oem lock
It said the android image was not valid?
So I then entered fastboot flashing lock
it rebooted fine to the stock android , but now the bootloader warning says ''your device has loaded a different operating system'', and thens boots 8.1.
DO you think I should go back anf flash stock rom ( not a twrp flashable version), using fastboot commands, ending with 'fastboot oem lock' ?
Just dont want to brick it, as it is now sold!
Many Thanks for any help
pootler
P.S. the TWRP I am using is a custom one ( i think )

THanks for the reply.
Strange, thought I had already updated this
I went back to stock firmware and decided to flash with fastboot all individual files.
At some point, I got the same ''verification failed' but the command line suggested flashing system, boot, and ( something else, cant remember) again.
i did this this, and this time, no errors occured, and I had a complete install, with a locked bootloader, and no bootloader warning screen.!
Yay - result
Thanks again for your advice - I will remember it for the future.
