Question Relock the bootloader and brick ?

[zoltan78]

Don't relock your bootloader with EU rom. Your chinese phone will be bricked.

There is no possibility to lock bootloader during flash xiaomi.eu rom.

It's global eu rom, not xiaomi.eu rom we are talking.

@Pikaone41 Hey, Im in the same exact situation. My phone came with 12.0.5.0 RKBEUVF firmware from vodafone for some reason.

If I unlock bootloader -> flash global eea rom V12.5.1.0.RKBEUXM -> relock.

Will this brick the phone?? or it will lock fine?

Note my phone model is M2011K2G.

If I can do that can you tell me what tools you used to do this process?

With ADB : fastboot oem lock, but your phone will be wiped

Does this work with SKBMIXM with the current version 13.0.1..0 SKBMIXM?

I came previously from 12.0.1.0 RKBEUOR - I unlocked the bootloader and flashed month ago to 12.5.3.0 (RKBMIXM) - all worked fine.
i received 2 further updates
- MIUI Global 12.5.9 Stabil (12.5.9.0 (RKBMIXM) and
- MIUI Global 12.5.11 Stabil (12.5.11.0 (RKBMIXM)

End of february 2022 I recieves MIUI 13 - MIUI Global 13.0.1.0 Stabil (13.0.1.0 (SKBMIXM) - current version.

What I would like is to re-lock the bootloader - Is this that simple? Does "fastboot oem lock" work also with MIUI 13?... or do I need Android 12 and the original fastboot-rom (miui_VENUSEEAORGlobal_V12.0.1.0.RKBEUOR) to reflash it with Mi-FlashTool with the tic by relock bootloader?

note: I edited this post and corrected MIUI instead of Android, thx @Pikaone41

It's not android 13, it's miui 13 ( android 12) . If I was you I will flash the 13.0.4.0 SKBEUXM and relock it without any problems. Fastboot OEM lock.

 

[Inti31]

... "fastboot OEM unlock" after I flashed 13.0.4.0 SKBEUXM, because with MiFlash there is an option which can be checked to lock the bootloader...

 

[Pikaone41]

Yes you can lock with miflash too
