Ifedith:

OK...I need phone number?

Ifedith:

how would I know if it's relocked?

fibonacci2526:



When you are flashing, at the bottom of the screen the default option is flash and relock (can't remember properly now), so one needs to manually choose the the unlock option. (Still can't remember the vivid description)

Gptech:

It's not relocked, just do as told, flash the global developer or Chinese rom via fastboot. Na data go suffer.

4llerbuntu:


No.

Just download the latest global developer rom for your device and use mi flash to flash it.

Remember to tick wipe all partitions.

Meanwhile, the page to download the fastboot rom is http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

But it's temporarily down for maintenance. Maybe they are adding the MIUI 10 roms

Ifedith:

adamix:

To save your data, download twrp for redmi 5plus(Vince). Flash that through fastboot...download recovery ROM and flash on twrp( since recovery file is less than fast boot file)

adamix:
Lol your phone boots and ure scared...lol

Ifedith:

Ifedith:

adamix:

Lol fear fear..did resetting work?

daamazing:
If I'm right, it wouldn't work. He flashed a wrong ROM that's not for the device

daamazing:
Flash TWRP, download any ROM of your choice and flssh

fibonacci2526:



Nope, he apparently flashed the right fastboot rom (global).

daamazing:
I'm not sure it's the right one. Check below I'm the SS, it says "this version of MIUI can't be installed on this device".
So it's not the right one and maybe he cleared data before flashing and there's no ROM on it ATM

Ifedith:

its like China ROM is the way forward o

jboixxx:

Follow adamix advice on twrp as you've locked your bootloader already.
