Yes, the locked bootloader will detect the original region of the phone, so it won't boot if a different region of ROM is detected.
Based on my own experience, I think you always need to unlock the bootloader before flashing with Mi Flash, even with the same region of ROM.
I don't know if you will be able to install a different region of ROM by just using Mi Flash, but even if it flashes successfully, you need to keep the bootloader unlocked, or it will only boot to recovery and show the "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" error.
Edit: I have installed Taiwan ROM on my M3 that came with global ROM, using Mi Flash Tool, the phone still works after locking bootloader.

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!
I have Lineage OS 14.1 on my phone and need to use Duo Mobile for 2 factor authentication. In spite of the fact that I have "unrooted" the system is still detecting that I a have tampered with my device. I will assume it's because the bootloader is unlocked.
I really, really don't want to wipe the phone and reconfigure all my apps (yes, it's easier than it used to be). Getting into fastboot and doing the fast relock commands is pretty clear to me, but how to get my device back to exactly where it is, but just with the bootloader locked?
Not possible.

You can't relock unless you are fully stock (actually you can, but you'll have a brick for life)

I have the a2017 model. Can I flash G or U stock firmware keeping the Chinese firmware modem and relock the bootloader. Do you know whether this is possible or would work without bricking.

To relock the bootloader you will need fastboot. None of the newer stock firmwares have fastboot asides from Chinese B19. You will need to EDL Flash B19 and use the Axon 7 Tool to relock the bootloader. After that, you can flash any Axon 7 firmware you'd like. Any A7 firmware works on any A7 model.
Make sure to replace the NONHLOS.bin in the files of the EDL package with the NONHLOS.bin from the Chinese firmware. This file is the modem, and so if you live in China, you will need to replace the US/EU modem file inside the package with the Chinese one.
It won't brick your phone, but it's not possible to relock the bootloader without wiping. I'd suggest a backup app such as Titanium Backup or something else (not too sure about non-root backup apps).

Thanks for replying. So I flashed the A2017_B15_FULL_EDL Android: 6.0.1 onto my a2017 axon 7. I replaced the NONHLOS.bin (modem) in the edl file with the Chinese modem which I took from A2017_B15_FULL_EDL Android: 6.0.1. I'm able to get network signal and works as expected.
I can't seem to lock the bootloader. Fastboot works on this firmware but the fastboot oem lock command does nothing, I keep getting failed.
Are you suggesting I flash stock firmware, one that has fastboot commands working, designed for a2017, lock the bootloader and then using a tool like djkuz Axon 7 EDL Tool flash a2017g firmware.
The reason why I need a2017g firmware is I'm tryna sell my axon at CEX and they won't accept it cos it has Chinese software. If it has European firmware with locked bootloader it'll pass their software check.

The only solution that worked for was to flash stock 7.8.23 rom with miflash by connecting my phone in EDL mode and as I was still in bootloop I remembered that on nougat the command oem unlock could be done ... But when I finally managed to recover an operating system my imei was gone to zero 0 ... I was able to solve with software QST 2.7 and restore my IMEI ... A month of galère lol

I had the same problem, but I've got a low-level backup made with cosmicdan's tool and It restored everything.

I have Mi 9T Global version Rom ; i unlocked the bootloader and flash Rom EEA european
all work fine now i need help relockin bootloader
If you relock your bootloader, it will format all your data.
You only have to type this fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
And if the phone doesn't reboot itself:
Code:
fastboot reboot

What error you are getting when trying to relock?
Good Morning
I wanted to flash a Global Rom to my Xiaomi Mi9t. I did this with MiFlash, but i forgot to click on "clean", so the default option "clean and lock" was enabled. It failed to install this version and now the device is locked and is also bricked, it only starts into recovery and fastboot.
I hope someone can help... =)
try flashing the the latest fastboot firmware via XiaomiFlash.
