I have a Redmi 6 (China version) that was sold to me as a Global edition. So when i updated the ROM much later and didn't unselect Lock Bootloader' it bricked the device.

Ive been reading up for weeks and trying to get it up and running again. I was planning on getting a Chinese ROM onto it then using the official xiaomi tool to unlock the bootloader once i signed into my xiaomi account on the phone.

I pursued the EDL method for sometime before realising it was a Mediatek phone. This week i have been trying to use the Mediatek Bypass to flash an official Chinese rom onto the phone but am getting the following error (see attached screenshot).

Just to clarify im just trying to flash a rom not unlock the bootloader with the mediatek bypass.

Is this possible?

If not are there any other methods i have not seen?

If not i can just give up which will be welcome Smile

Thanks!

Use format+ download or try flashing the files one after another.

Success! I flashed one file at a time, the only part it gave errors on was 'cust' but the phone now boots into android.

Thanks!

if you can unlock bootloader then you should be able to flash cust using fastboot e.g
fastboot flash cust cust.img

This is the plan.

To unlock bootloader i need a SIM working but now the sim doesn't work now its on a China ROM.

Thanks for asking, i have just noticed it has no IMEI, not sure where to check for baseband. Any tips on what to read up on next would be appreciated!
