Can I relock bootloader on China > Global stock ROM - Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Recently I purchased Mi 10 Pro (basically same as Mi 10) from my friend, and it was a China device with China ROM installed, am I able to change to Global ROM and re-lock the bootloader? Not planning on root and changing ROM all that. From what I heard if changed from China ROM to Global ROM and LOCK the bootloader on a China device will result in a brick, is that true? Coming from Android One device so not really sure about this. Thanks for the input.

looks like your rom are distributor version. It should be easier to flash TWRP via fastboot by press vol down + power button.

When i bought the phone the seller put a global rom on which automatically unlocked the phone.

what i did:
1. request official bootloader unlock (just in case its needed)
2. flash global dev rom with the official miui updater app on the phone (load the file from xiaomi)
3. unlock the bootloader with the official xiaomi unlocker tool
4. flash twrp image via fastboot commands
5. within twrp i flashed the twrp alka via flash -> image -> flash recovery partition
6. reboot into recovery to get to twrp alka
7. backup all the partition (in my case with official MM 6.0.1 MIUI relase i had to wipe all user data in twrp to get rid of phone encryption)
8. flash Supersu.zip in twrp alka
9. reboot, be patient and enjoy
I just received the Redmi Note 3 pro running the same Miui Global stable 8.0.1.0.0 and bootloader already unlocked. How do I know if it has been unlocked via official / non official way?
Do I have to install the official TWRP or not?
Is it possible to lock the bootloader again and the unlock it via official way?
I obviously don't want to brick my device!
Thank you.
8.0.1.0.0 is a vendor rom. Check the linked wiki on how to flash official rom (by EDL mode). If the seller unlocked the bootloader they more than likely did it unofficially.

(ROM Changing) Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus (vince) China rom to global rom changing problem.

I have Redmi 5 Plus (vince) with China beta ROM installed.
I just unlock my bootloader and flashed global stable and beta ROM from here:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
http://update.miui.com/updates/v ... bal&b=F&r=global&n=
vince_global_images_V9.2.13.0.NEGMIFA_20180302.0000.00_7.1_global_cf18fc4bbc.tgz
Fastboot ROM flashed successful and working fine. But problem is when I relock my bootloader again, device not booting. Its goes directly to miui recovery and giving message "the miui version cant be installed on this device" type message. But if I unlock again, device boot and working.
But I want to use my device with locked bootloader.
Please help me if anybody know how to use global stable or beta rom with lock bootloader for Redmi 5 Plus. I want global rom with google service without any error. China rom giving google service error sometime
I still use miui eu but i saw many post about stock china change to global ....certainly only way is unlock bootloader and flash rom by mi flash of xiaomi...your case just happen when u use method click to test point in mainboard....
I think you should to lock boot loader because it good when fone bug
You have to flash china stable rom using test point method. Flash and lock in miflashtool. Then you can unlock bootloader again with no waiting and flash global ROM this time with clean all and flash in miflashtool.
I had to do that procedure last week. Same problem than you

Question Buying a device with the Chinese rom, installing the global rom and locking the bootloader, is it possible?

I found the cheapest Chinese model Redmi Note 12 5G, would it be possible to install the global rom and lock the bootloader? or would I have to keep the Chinese (original) rom to lock the bootloader?
