DAA (Download agent authentication) and SLA (Serial Link Authorization) is a security feature that Xiaomi Implement on their Mediatek devices to Prevent unauthorized flashing. once DAA or SLA Authentication implanted it will prevent flash tool to write any device partition without completing the challenge.
In the case of DAA Protection You can bypass it by loading a custom or slightly Modified DA (Download agent file) in SP Flash tool. but in case of SLA You can’t load a DA File without completing the SLA challenge which is done through the Special account called Authorized MI account or ID that are given to service center for repairing Xiaomi devices.
How SLA works:
that’s simple, during the flashing, device generate a decrypted random string if BROM (boot ROM/EDL) validate this string it allow partitions writing if not then flash tool show a BROM error.
