i have tried atleast 7-8 different tutorials to unlock bootloader, unbrick and re-lock bootloader. But everytime in the end, only your video tutorials have saved my phone. love your work
this happened because there was a Xiaomi account logged into the phone when it was factory reset. this is a basic security feature built into all android phones from that screen you timestamped, i tapped the open wifi settings option and put in my wifi network password i then tapped the back button and got back to this screen, then tapped the activate this device option this requires me to log into the xiaomi mi account that was attached to the phone from before so i logged into my mi account and then proceeded with the android activation process there was no 'refusal to talk to the mi servers' at that timestamp
@@ExplainingAndroid It is a common issue with the Xiaomi activation process, from what I found today. I was having the problem as I watched your video and hoped I would find the answer and when the video cut past it I flew into a rage. The answer, it turns out, is not to use wifi for activation. Seems like it prefers to activate over cell data, not wifi behind a router. Going to Wifi config, forgetting all the networks, then going back and activating from a cell connection resolved the issue.
@@samurphy I apologize for cutting past that. I have done many xiaomi unlock tutorials and have shown that step in past ones. I just assumed it was a known step by now. I activate over wifi just fine. sorry to learn yours was having issues, though. are you running a pihole on your network? or a DNS filter that could block connections like that? happy to see you got it situated :)
@@ExplainingAndroid I bet it was something like that. I never even thought about it. Well, if anyone else is searching for it in the future, hopefully they see this exchange.
I don't have experience with the MediaTek version, but if the bootloader is currently unlocked then this video will show you how to lock it again (I can't image the steps would be any different) just make sure you have the original firmware installed on it (no root, no other ROM, 100% original firmware only)
you can lock the bootloader while you're on MIUI 12 right now. it's safe (as long as you don't currently have Magisk, TWRP, or other root mods installed)
thanks for the video, bought a new Redmi 9S Pro 1 week ago, My phone auto restart again and again and show the same options, Reboot, wipe data, connect with MIAssistant but I need my data back because it's very important data, Is there any solution? Please help me to get my data back.
yup, can confirm this will work on all snapdragon variants of the Redmi Note 9 series. I own the 9S and know it will work on the 9 Pro. But knowing Xiaomi, they've rebranded this phone a bunch more, and included other phones in the Redmi Note 9 series (that I'm not aware of)
no, that is only for the first unlock 'request'. once your mi account has passed that initial waiting period, you will get instant unlocks (if your account is still registered to the phone) in the future with miunlock
@@ExplainingAndroid I'm currently on MIUI 12.0.3 based on Android 11 I'm facing many bugs and overheating issues. Is it possible to go back to android 10 and then i lock bootloader again?

Can you explain how you fixed the issue that you skipped in 6:20 where it refuses to talk to the Mi servers to activate the phone?

Our data will remain intact or it would get wiped out? Also will our device be Google Play Store certified after that?
does it work on mediatek processors or only snapdragon please reply

Can you relock bootloader after switching to lineage os?
My redmi note 9 pro is on miui 12, can i just re-lock the bootloader or i have to downgrade to miui 11 (default redmi note 9 pro miui) first?
you can lock the bootloader while you're on MIUI 12 right now. it's safe (as long as you don't currently have Magisk, TWRP, or other root mods installed)
For me it says waiting for a device
after following these step my device showing Error msg on phone screen "the system has been destroyed",... please help me
did you make sure your OS was completely stock before you relocked it?
How can you tell if it is stock OS?
Does it really? Locks the bootloader with securing the devce??
Plz reply?
yes, it really secures the phone
@@ExplainingAndroid thx

I'm sorry, I can't help with restoring of data
who to fix ?
Kindly make a video of how to relock the bootloader for the Redmi note 11 E 5G. Thanks
All Snapdragon??

Do i need to wait 7 day to unlock my Bootloader after locking it back again?
no, that is only for the first unlock 'request'. once your mi account has passed that initial waiting period, you will get instant unlocks (if your account is still registered to the phone) in the future with miunlock
@@ExplainingAndroid Thanks for the Reply man, I appreciate
Will find device work after re locking?
yes
