Redmi A1 (ice): factory reset + update to latest MIUI via fastboot (clean install) + lock bootloader

Factory reset 

I will do the factory reset from official recovery. To do this I have to enter first the recovery mode. From MIUI and with USB debugging enabled and phone connected to PC, I enter this command on PC:

abd reboot fastboot

The phone reboots to fastbootd mode where I will choose Enter recovery and then, in recovery mode I will select Wipe data/factory reset.
