The regular Redmi note 2 16 GB
I think flashing a older fastboot ROM may work
Try flashing twrp

Keep vol+ pressed while sending fastboot reboot command or try with fastboot reboot-bootloader.

Hi, i just bought a note 3 pro (snapdragon)
The seller said that the bootloader is unlocked.
how can i verify that it actually is unlocked?
MIUI Version is MIUI 7 Global 6.3.18 Beta
Would i brick my device when i try to flash something else?
Go to Fastboot mode.
Connect your Device with your PC
Download Fastboot.exe www[dot]zippyshare.com/v/SWhiBSDN/file.html
Enter the command prompt

Be careful in the flashing of MIUI ROMs with unlocked bootloader! BOOTLOOP!! BRICK!
Hi, frendz pls help me
I have unlocked my bootloader unofficial way without permission from xiaomi, with emmc_appsboot.mbn file replacing in fastboot ROM, now my question is, if i mistakenly flash official xiaomi fastboot ROM without removing emmc_apsboot.mbn file from ROM folder what will happen, will my redmi note 3 brick by this.
Flashing fastboot rom won't brick but flashing miui recovery roms without removing emmc_apsboot.mbn will brick your phone.

Thanks bro, but if my bootloader is unlocked by unofficial way and I flash fastboot ROM in fastboot mode, so will my device still unlocked?

No it will get locked.
Hello!
Today i was trying to return to factory conditions on my mido (recovery, ROM, bootloader, etc) but i locked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" instead of doing it with miunlock.
Now i am unable to flash anything, from fastboot roms, to custom recoveries, to anything.
Is there any way i can try and revive my device? I tried using miflash, unlocking again with miunlock, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo
Try this
Boot into bootloader and then connect to pc install mi flash tool and then after downloading rom click on clean and lock
Solved by using miunlock version at this link http<colon><slash><slash>en<dot>miui<dot>com<slash>forum<dot>php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=204866&pid=
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully (amazingly!), flashed the fastboot rom with miflash and phone revived!
Hope this can be helpful to people with my same problem!
Hello friends,
I was using the latest MIUI 9 (9.5.6.0 I think). Yesterday I got an update to 10.1.1.0 OTA.
I had unlocked bootloader, rooted device using Magisk and custom recovery(PitchBlack).
When I downloaded the update and clicked to reboot, it went to recovery and when it completed some process I clicked to reboot to system and I am now stuck with only MI.com logo with nothing else.
I read this thread - https://en.miui.com/thread-274589-1-1.html but I'm confused now since many threads are regarding with locked bootloader. I'm unsure if my bootloader is locked again or is still unlocked. I am afraid of anti-rollback feature if it has anything to do with my device because I don't want to hard brick it.
Also can someone link from where I can download the latest fastboot ROM, since from this link - http://en.miui.com/a-234.html I cannot download and also what is the extension of fastboot ROM (zip/tar)?
Can anyone please help me with a simple guide ?
EDIT : Got the fastboot ROM - https://in.c.mi.com/thread-1703429-1-0.html

Dont flash miui global using twrp.
Ur bootloader is relocked.
Download fastboot tgz extension rom. Extract the folder. And flash it in EDL mode using miflash.
How to put in edl mode. Follow this thread.

Thanks for clarifying that bootloader is relocked.
Can I follow this procedure to flash in MiFlash - https://en.miui.com/a-234.html ?
Also can I choose "save user data" radio button instead of "clean all" to save my apps and data ?

Did u officially unlocked ur bootloader?
If u officially unlocked ur phone then check bootloader status using below fastboot command using pc.
fastboot oem device-info
If Unlock = false then its relocked.
Yes u can use userdata save option. But if device doesnt boot after mi flash then u must use clean all option.

Since u r officially unlock Check bootloader status.
If unlock = true then u can use fastboot mode to flash.
If unlock = false then u must use EDL mode to flash.

Alright. So without EDL mode, I should follow this guide https://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Also which recovery do you use to have MIUI OTA updates ?
Do you recommend RedWolf or any other since zcx recovery is too old.

Thats correct. U can download fastboot tgz rom and follow those instruction fron official site.
If u want to stay on miui global rom then why u want twrp? U can update miui OTA using miui updater.
TWRP are for flashing custom roms. If u use twrp for flashing miui ota then u might put phone in bootloop again.

If u like miui and twrp both . then flash miui Eu ( europe) rom.
It is custom rom version of miui.
It is best and lightest. No unnecessary heavy bloated gapps. Only playstore.
Its certified by xiaomi. It is battery optimised and kernel tweaks and performance.
U can flash it using latest twrp 3.2.3. No relock of bootloader.
But first u recover ur device.

Thank you.
Hi, so several months ago i installed MIUI 12 weekly to my Xiaomi Mi A3, and now I wanted to upgrade to the stable release. When i was flashing a boot image file, after restart, my twrp dissapear. I tried to flash the rom using Mi Flash on PC, but i touched the cable and the phone disconnected, locking the bootloader in the process. I have no OS, my bootloader is locked. Is my phone truly dead?
I also forgot to uninstall Magisk root from my phone, so it's my full mistake. adb doesn't recognize my phone. I can only turn on the phone, leave it on boot until the battery drains, or the fastboot. Is there any chances that I can save my phone?
did you tray loading twrp when you are in fastboot mode?

I can't. It says i cannot flash while in Lock State. Basically i can't do anything without unlocked bootloader.
well unlock it, you have 2 comands to put.
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
FAILED (remote: Token Verify Failed, Reboot the device) after i used the commands you told me.
What should I do next?
And Mi Unlock tool can't unlock the device, because I need to change some settings in Developer Options, and I have no rom.
did you try switching slots?
fastboot getvar current-slot
Getvar Variable not found
f###,
then only some recovery option with
mi tools.
Download mi a3 platform tool file then download fastboot and fastboot unlock critical file paste these both in platform tool folder then plug device through fastboot to pc then first click on fastboot unlock and then fastboot unlocking critical it will be unlocked then install the rom through mi flash
