OEM unlock issue. Phone settings unavailable. - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I am stuck in a position where I cannot access my phone settings, because it starts popping up all these force close error alerts and shutting down on its own. I cannot unlock OEM from phone settings and hence I cannot flash anything, not even stock ROM!
My phone got problems all of a sudden. It started with a lot of apps force closing on its own and phone got frozen. So I tried restarting the phone by holding power button. But it showed on the booting screen that I might need to Factory Reset my phone. I thought I had no choice but to reset it, so I chose wipe data and Factory Reset.
The real problems started after that!
The phone got restarted and I had to input the Language settings and all, and suddenly all these app force closing windows started to pop-up. I tried closing one by one but it didn't stop and started to shut down the system on its own.
The same thing repeats whenever I try to factory reset as soon as my phone boots up.
I can access the FastBoot mode, so I tried unlocking Bootloader, but I am getting the error, "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
I also have already tried MiFlashTool, MiUnlock, going to EDL mode etc. Please do help!

That force closing and freezing sounds to me like bad memory chip, so it needs to be replaced, but I am not 100% sure...Hopefully someone who knows more than me will help you out.

Incompatible themes might causing the UI like the settings to crash. So uninstall the themes/substratum. No idea on what is causing your other problems.

[Q] Can someone tell me what I did?

So I recently updated using ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoca-5-0-keeproot-t3076803 ) this guide which worked perfectly. Upon trying to restore from my titanium backups it got stuck while restoring my text messages. I stopped the process which froze my phone. Upon restarting all my buttons besides power would not work, except the home button would work to wake the screen. It was like this the next 5 times I restarted untill I restarted again and I kept getting a "Process System is not Responding" with a wait or close prompt. After hitting the wait prompt a couple times I hit close which took me to a blank (read: black) screen with nothing but the lock screen call icon on it. Trying to restart my phone in recovery mode was a fail because I accidently started it in Download mode. I held power until the device restarted and now everything works again. I was just wondering if anyone knew what I had done because I have no idea. Thanks.

Not able to start from factory reset again, get's stuck or reboots constantly

hi...
I'm really desperate, my phone is suddenly dying and I have no idea why, I'll tell you from yesterday what has happened:
- I'm playing a stupid game and suddenly the screen goes black. No led, phone doesn't answer any button, nothing. I hold power button, nothing. Remove battery and put again, nothing. After some attempts phone turns on, but just after starting it reboots or stays frozen.
- I decide to change the rom (I had simpl rom), so I do a full wipe and put CM 12. It seems it works, but when I'm in the settings, at the beggining, I don't even have time to put the wifi, it starts rebooting again and/or not responding.
- Desperated, I install via odin the stock firmware from Sam Mobile. It seems it's gonna work, but when the dialog of "Android is upgrading -- Optimazitating app x of XX" it always gets stucked in a number, randomly. I never get to the 230 apps.
- As a last chance, I try Kies to install factory firmware. The same as before happens, but now it's only 17 the number of apps it tries to optimize.
These last 2 times, of course, I enter recovery from time to time (now the default one) and wipe cache partition.
My phone is agonizing, what the f is happening? Does anybody know what could happen?
Please help...

Verizon Lg g2 stuck in bootloop

So for a few weeks now, my phone has been having bootloop issues. I've been trying to fix it on my own, but no luck so far.
I can get it into download mode. Up until I tried to restore it to its stock version via the User Tool, I could get it to the factory reset options, which led to the options to wipe cache, reboot, etc. However, none of those options worked. When I attempted to reset to factory settings, I got the "dead" green android with the red triangle. Then the screen goes black and starts bootlooping again.
Once in awhile I can manage to turn it on after having it turned off for hours, or even days and it works like normal, except that if I lock it or turn it off it will end up restarting and starting to bootloop again. Which is bad seeing as it drains somewhat fast due to being overheated while having the screen constantly on.
As for my experience trying to use update recovery, it gets to the downloading part then stops and gives me this message "[011.700.147.062.092]??? ??? ? ? ????". I don't even know if I am using the correct stock rom for my phone, since I only know its MEID and model name.
do u resolved this, i have the same problem

Stuck on encryption lock screen, won't boot PLEASE HELP

Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.
I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x
I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.
Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.
Have exactly the same issue..Please help

Restart directly after unlock pattern

Hello everybody,
two days ago, my Mi A1 just spontaniously restarted while running.
But since then it is stuck in the "Android one" screen. With multiple restarts, I finally manage to get to the unlock screen.
If I then enter my pattern the screen changes to "Android is starting", but after two seconds the phone restarts again until I'm at the "Android one" screen again.
So I can't enter the actual system.
I can enter the stock bootloader and also fastboot, but I'm not entirely sure what I can do there (except a factory reset).
I also tried to enter the failsafe mode (by hitting the shutdown icon longer in the unlock screen), but the phone just normally restarts as mentioned early. I don't seem to get into that mode.
My suspicion:
For a few months I'm running out of disk space. Because of that I couldn't install all the big updates lately. I suspect, that the OS somehow forced an update that failed because of the space issue. At least this is the only thing that I notice lately what could explain the situation.
Do I have other options to resolve my problem, except a factory reset?
My last backup is two months old, so I would survive deleting everything, but it would be way better if I don't have to
Do you guys have any hints for me?
regards and thanks in advance,
koala
I was getting nervous and just did the factory reset.
And it seems to have worked just fine.
Some data is lost though.
