Hi guys.

I've ran into an issue on my kenzo

Tried to go back to stock using a recovery ROM flashing via twrp, my mistake, and now it won't boot, stuck on mi logo.

I unofficially unlcoked this years ago.

Bootloader is now locked. I can enter edl mode however sometimes it says USB not recognised.

What should I do to fix this.

Thank you.

Thanks!

Managed to boot into edl and using the beta version of miflash flashed the latest version of miui, v10, for my device.

Issue now popped up that it's locked to an account that I dont have the password for, the account details and number used I haven't used for 2+ years.

Any idea how to get passed this?

Cannot do custom rom for this phone. Need to go back to stock.

What about flashing an earlier version of miui? Via fastboot over v10?

Will that cause bootloop?


First stay on 10.2 rom miui.

And use this method.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778

Above method will install zcx twrp on locked bootloader.

Then update zcx twrp to latest 3.3.1 official

Then

Format data
Advanced wipe
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot.



Note: never flash miui firmware or rom using twrp. It will brick.

Did this. Ran LOS16 unofficial then flashed miui7 stable and somehow the device remembers the old account and won't let me proceed until I input the password.

I fully wiped everything. How can this information persist across wipes?

Why u going miui 7.

I told u to flash miui 10.2 fastboot rom using pc in EDL mode clean flash.
Then reboot.
But dont login mi account.

Then follow the given link in previous post.
Which will directly install twrp.
Dont reboot to miui.


Update.twrp.
And Just install custom rom n gapps.
But format data first
Type YES to format.
Then advance wipe

I've done all of that.

I'm running custom ROM, lineage os, but need a working miui ROM.

Every time I load a miui ROM, it always locks and cannot do anything

There's an old account of mine that I no longer have the details for. I need to bypass this for a working miui ROM.
