Hey folks,
I've tried my best so far, but I am stuck.
I wanted to change the ROM on my wife's Redmi 3 pro. It was running on a rather old RR version and I wanted to go back to MIUI to have a better camera.
After an unsuccesful attempt to flash this, I was stuck in a bootloop.
This - in general - was no problem: I've decieded to flash an official firmware via MiFlash, but this apparently didn't work as well.
So, now MiFlash has locked the phone again but not properly installed anything.
I can access Fastboot and the pre-installed recovery, but nothing more.
The unlock tool tells me that I can't unlock it because it is apparentyl not bound to my MI account (and I have no clue with which account I've unlocked it the last time).
Desperately appreciation any kind of help!
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was apparently not patient enough. After quite a while it finally booted. Now I can access the system again, but still can't unlock the phone.
UPDATE 2: I also found out with which account I've unlocked it and thus everything worked after all. Now sporting Lineage 14 with camera mod.
