Seriously you have been provided with many option on how to tackle this problem all you need to do now is relax don't get distracted with any post here for now. Try those solutions one after the other and am 100% sure your phone will work perfectly well before you know it. All you need now is to concentrate.

I'll agree with you but one major hindrance is that my phone is the only means of communication for me. though I have data on my sim, but where can I use it if no one is Willing to part with their own fone. I really need someone around ajah to come and help me with this.

adamix:
Try what Fibonacci suggested first

ok

Gptech:
Just calm down else you'll end up not achieving anything and just increase your blood pressure. Your phone is going to be up again, you just need to calm down and try the advices given one at a time. Worse thing to happen is you might spend some few hours without your phone. Will advice you read more now.

if someone will give me a clear cut way, I go happy die. and worse is that's my only phone. my communication is almost non existent, so I need this thing up and running badly. like kilode..

adamix:
If its really locked, mi flash tool wont work...twrp wont install

is it because of edl?

adamix:
How do you know ur phone is locked?
If its truly locked, twrp wont work...mi flash tool wont work..only way is test points i think.

adamix:

Acekid said he had the same error when he was trying to go from vendor rom to global rom and that he got it up and running by flashing the Chinese rom.

jboixxx:
Follow adamix advice on twrp as you've locked your bootloader already.

also, I've Read a comment about someone doing the twrp lvl for the redmi note 5a but e still bounce, the way e got try was only try Chinese rom

jboixxx:
Follow adamix advice on twrp as you've locked your bootloader already.

how I wan take get this twrp?

daamazing:
I'm not sure it's the right one. Check below I'm the SS, it says "this version of MIUI can't be installed on this device".
So it's not the right one and maybe he cleared data before flashing and there's no ROM on it ATM

oga calm down...na me download am. ...na global stable fastboot for rosy...redmi 5. so chill.

daamazing:
Flash TWRP, download any ROM of your choice and flssh

its like China ROM is the way forward o

daamazing:
If I'm right, it wouldn't work. He flashed a wrong ROM that's not for the device

no sir, na global stable fastboot ROM. did you read my narrative.

adamix:
Lol fear fear..did resetting work?

daamazing:

meritinunilag:

adamix:
Will be back to work in one hour...whatsapp me if you need help

I saw a hard reset tutorial for something like this.... will it work. it simply involves wipe all data....wat do u think

adamix:
https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredmi5.html

I no understand 1 thing for there

adamix:
Lol your phone boots and ure scared...lol

my phone is my biz and source of livelihood...crying....

adamix:
To save your data, download twrp for redmi 5plus(Vince). Flash that through fastboot...download recovery ROM and flash on twrp( since recovery file is less than fast boot file)

its redmi 5

4llerbuntu:
No.

Just download the latest global developer rom for your device and use mi flash to flash it.

Remember to tick wipe all partitions.

Meanwhile, the page to download the fastboot rom is http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

But it's temporarily down for maintenance. Maybe they are adding the MIUI 10 roms

I need your phone number

Gptech:
It's not relocked, just do as told, flash the global developer or Chinese rom via fastboot. Na data go suffer.

developer global or Chinese ROM. and if Chinese, won't it be all Chinese screen, how I wan take understand Chinese

fibonacci2526:
When you are flashing, at the bottom of the screen the default option is flash and relock (can't remember properly now), so one needs to manually choose the the unlock option. (Still can't remember the vivid description)

yeah I saw wipe and lock. that was the default wen I flashed. so is it locked. moreover, wen I power on I see unlocked at the bottom, but now no unlock anymore but it still rebooting back to recovery. so
?

fibonacci2526:
If you didn't relock it during flashing, then it should be unlocked. Follow acekid's solution, download Chinese fastboot rom and let's see if that would work out. If it does, then you can then reflash the global rom.

how would I know if it's relocked?

4llerbuntu:
Lol. Guy calm down.


Your phone dey recovery you come dey lament like this? nothing do your phone na.

It's either you flashed the wrong rom or wrong version.

Download a developer rom or Chinese rom and flash with Mi Flash tool.


After you can then flash global rom.

OK...I need phone number?

fibonacci2526:
And what if you press the reboot button?

tries to load and then takes me back.

Gptech:
Bootloader is unlocked right?

now....I have no idea.
previously yes

acekid109:
from my experience with a redmi 5 plus , you can only go from a vendor rom to a china rom, global rom will give you this error

so how did you get out of this error?
