Redmi Note 7 Pro - Bricked (Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg.)

[TSKXDA]

I tried to search regarding this issue but couldn't find a solution so I am posting this issue in hopes that someone can guide me to a solution.

I wanted to install pixel experience on my Redmi Note 7 Pro. My phone was successfully unlocked by myself and no issues were faced. First I tried to install Peter's TWRP but then can't go the recovery instead every time I was booted to fastboot menu. I then tried to just restart by holding the power button to boot straight to OS but instead I was again back to the fastboot menu.

I then downloaded the latest global ROM "violet_in_global_images_V11.0.5.0.PFHINXM_20191022.0000.00_9.0_in_9bff00d97f" for flashing using xiaomi flash tool and faced many errors but resolving one by one and then finally ROM was flashed but it only took 1 sec to complete and nothing happened on the phone. Then I searched around a bit more and tried to use CMD to flash "flash_all.bat" directly and got the error "Current Device Anti Rollback is greater than this Pkg". What I don't understand is that if I am using the latest global firmware then how the current device has a higher arb no. ?

I hope that I am able to explain the situation for other's to understand.

Any help will be appreciated.

Try the command "fastboot oem edl" in cmd of adb folder when device is in fastboot mode. Ur phone should go black but dont panic. Now open miflash tool and u see ur device is connected in edl mode as COMX ( X may be anything 10 or 20 like that). Now try to flash the lattest fastboot rom for over device. Remember to check the option in mi flash tool to not lock bl again. But this will wipe all your data.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my query. I did what you suggested and got into EDL mode. Xiaomi Mi Flash picked up the device as COM10 but when I tried to flash it shows "sahara read end error with status:40" and nothing happens.

Any further idea?

I suggest you use the older variant of the MiFlash tool.
How did you flash Peter's? Did you use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? That's the only right command.
Also are you sure you have the Indian variant of the phone? Another way to bypass anti roll back would be to clear all partitions, and then flash the required ROM.
Sorry if I'm not able to help you, I'll try having a look later on.

Thank you for your support. I had to go to the service center as no solution could be found.

Wait i know what happen... Ur phone has twrp and rom successfully installed don't worry about that. Just problem is ur phone has again locked the bootloader thats why its not able to boot os because it has twrp not the official recovery. U can verify that u have bootloader locked.. when ur phone starts when there is mi logo there will not be "unlocked" written in bottom.. see... That is very easy. Just try to unlock bootloader again with mi unlock tool.
And ur good to go. I got same errors on my friends redmi 6 pro. Service center will tell u to change motherboard as it cant be fixed with edl mode. JUST TRY TO UNLOCK AGAIN WITH MI UNLOCK TOOL.

Thank you for your feedback but the phone bootloader remained unlocked as when the phone starts there is "unlocked" written in bottom.
I got the phone back from Service Center. It's working fine but strangely still the bootloader is shown as unlocked in the start animation.
