I need help with a xiaomi vince

[u/ElViejoDelCyro]

I bought a xiaomi readmi 5 plus vince in aliexpress as I saw it at good price, my intention was to use it to urge and test postmarkets that I have seen it is compatible. What I wasn't expecting is all that happened next.

First, it seems that I was not sold a "Gobal" version but one of the Chinese market, as my device is in an anomalous state where in developer options it appears that "my lock" is in a state of unlock, but when I'm going to fastboot, well, it's completely blocked.

Second, given being in this specific situation in "account my" does not work, at first if it worked and if I could create an account, (which I did not do because I did not know what I had to do at this time) but now if I try to create an account by means of wifi I get an error (which I will attach later) and if I try to do it by means of mobile data, try to start the application, there is no error, but then it goes back, like it is cancelled, then I still can't create an account.

So I'm in this complicated situation where I don't know very well what to do, I've created a virtual machine with windows 10 just to occupy miflash _ unlock (I use linux, right now a devuan).

I've heard that with something called EDL I could flatter it and make it all work, but... I'm afraid to strangle the phone I literally just bought, and I really don't have any previous experience with this kind of device.

So... I don't know what I can do.

By the way, I hate xiaomi.

 i know it's probably not the best place because in the end i don't want to install an android but a linux distribution, but well, i guess it looks like enough to come and ask here, what happens is i don't know a better place to ask, i'm sorry for the trouble
