hey there!
i need some help here please!
i was trying to unlock my bootloader (using this guide) and it went all fine till step 17 (command "fastboot oem unlock-go"), it said i got no permission for unlocking. and now i'm stuck here. the only thing that works is fastboot mode. from there i can switch to adb using the reboot-to-edl-patch, but then i'm stuck again. device-manager shows device as usual (ports COM & LPT) and the red light is blinking, but command "adb devices" replies an empty list. tried "adb kill-server", replugging phone, rebooting computer, still the same.
so what can i do now?
thanks for helping!
Hi. You can install a fastboot rom in edl-mode with mi flash. I recomend a developer rom for this action. Then you can try the unofficial unlock from the start, but i recomend the official unlock.

sorry, forgot to say that miflash does not show the device after i selected the rom. i need to do something before i can flash via edl-mode. but what?
Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed on a 64bit machine, with driver signature off. And you cant get adb device list from there, so thats normal. Try to install the 7.1.8 fastboot rom that should work.
Well even m in a same situation.... as u said ur mobile is giving u red led blinks.. ..
And in device Manger ur fone is showed as Qualcomm 900E instead of 9008 and that's the reason adb couldn't list ur device
All u need to do is do a Google search - xiaomi deep flash cable

phone is showed as showed as Qualcomm 9008, and meanwhile i'm able to flash fastboot-rom again. still can't unlock though
AnF replies: FAILED: <remote: oem unlock is not allowed>
finished. total time: 0.016s
drivers are installed correctly, i'm working in signature-off-mode.
tried 7.1.8 rom, can't unlock that either..
maybe a stupid question, but anyway: phone had miui version 8 before i started trying to unlock.. is something wrong with that?
thanks for helping!

There is no problem with miui 8. You just have to follow the steps from this post: [Tips and Tutorials] Redmi Note 3 [ SnapDragon ] - Unlock the BEAST in Seconds!!! . Just google it, because i cant post links here... Make a efs partition backup before you proceed! With a bad flash you can lose your IMEI like lots on the forum did... I would say to unlock your phone with the official unlock. Good luck!

tried that, but no success in unlocking. same reply as mentoined above (FAILED: <remote: oem unlock is not allowed>)
is there any other rom i could try to flash? not to unlock the bootloader afterwards, but to just unbrick my phone?
I would recomend to install a global developer rom for now. And unlock your bootloader with the official method.
---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 PM ----------
Just install a developer ROM like you did before. Then you can decide what to do next. I would recommend to unlock your bootloader officially if you want custom ROMs on your phone.
good news: i finally managed to unbrick it!
flashing the fastboot 7.1.8 rom, and then flashing the original emmc_appsboot.mbn file via fastboot:
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot
during reboot holding volume-up + power and starting mi pc suite
..and suddenly it's unbricked!
so happy right now!
Glad to hear that.

The solution is here:
download the required files from the given link: [50mb]
https://mega.nz/#!1NhDTQoR!cP7vrchwswOfj3oHQ5saZ2d0JkcmunEn5pqyOcpZDoE
INSTRUCTIONS: [redmi note 3]
1. Get into fastboot mode. Charge the phone first. Hold the power button and the volume down button simultaenously.
2. If you can open your current rom, open developer options by clicking on the build no several times in the about phone menu in settings. and select allow oem unlocking and usb debugging.
3. if not leave it... go on and connect your phone to the PC while in fastboot mode.
BUT, before that: open Command prompt on your PC. (search it on the search box). right click on it and open it in administrator mode.
type in: bcdedit /set testsigning on
hit enter and restart your pc
(this is imp.)

hello all
i spent last few hours looking for solution to how to flash Stock Rom to my YB1-X90F and i found steps here and there and finally i got it. so i gathered all the steps in one thread to help whoever want to flush back to stock or downgrade from newer version for any reason.
This will erase all user data.
1. do it on your own risk, I'm not responsible for any damage to your devise.
2. Unlco your bootloader here is the steps by earthCallingAngela ----->>> Here
3. if you having issue to connect your drive to your computer while on bootloader you can install Intel driver, its worked for me, ----> Here
4. now install Intel Phone Flash Tool, i think it will install drivers as well, download it from here
5. Download Yoga book YB1-X90F Stock Rom Uploaded by Flippy498 from here
6. open Intel Phone Flash Tool and boot your phone on bootloader by Vol Up + Power, you should see the tool detect your Tablet.
7. on intel tool click on brows and located the Rom, wait for the tool to unzip it,
8. do not change anything just click on Flush and wait for it, on the middle of the process the tablet will ask you if its ok to wipe user data choose yes
after that the tablet will reboot and finish the installations and power off itself, power it on and wait for it, its will take long time for first boot so do not power it off.
Halo keyboard will not work until you do these steps By vimalbhimani on here
a) Open ‘’contacts’’ app, create a new local contact ” test”
b) Click search button at contact
c) Input ####6020# code into search bar
d) a list of country codes will po up, browser the country code list, then chose country code US and click OK
e) Then device will reboot and update, you should be able to use halo Keyboard after that.
note: i have issue with TouchPl keep stopping, had to chose google instead of Lenovo to get it to work without error
if you want to update the system to latest version (7.0.1) you can just go to update and update it.
if you have something to add please do
Thank you all.
Here's an alternative method for those who don't trust flashing tools due to bad experiences and prefer flashing files manually via Fastboot (like me):
Follow steps 1. to 3. and 5. of the opening post.
Unzip the stock rom (archive) into your ADB/Fastboot folder.
Boot the tablet to the bootloader (c.f. step 6. of the opening post).
Use the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash gpt gpt.bin
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase persistent
fastboot erase frp
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot format config
fastboot format country
fastboot format cache
fastboot format data
fastboot format factory
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash config config.img
fastboot flash country country.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader
fastboot flash oemvars bootloader_policy-oemvars.txt
fastboot flashing lock
fastboot continue
Execute each of them with Enter and wait till a command got executed completely before you try to use the next one.
It might happen that you face an error while flashing that oemvars bootloader_policy-oemvars.txt. I couldn't find out why that happened and ignoring it seems to be harmless.
Follow steps a) to e) of the opening post.

could you or anyone else please reupload a 6.x stock rom for the yb1 x90L? i just cant find any working link and am currently stuck with a device without properly working wlan. wlan keeps turning itself off after a few seconds after reboot and only restarting the whole device can turn it back on again... i hope a rollback can solve the issue...

looks like the original link is down, so i searched for the file name YB1-X90L_USR_S110085_1710170829_WW08_EP_ROW_otafull.zip and this came up:
YB1-X90L_USR_S110085_1710170829_WW08_EP_ROW_otafull.zip | Easy Firmware
easy-firmware.com
ive no idea if this is working or safe to use but its a start.
good luck
So my Android YB1-X90F was locking up when trying to boot, just stuck showing the Lenovo logo. Thinking I'm clever I stubbled across the boot menu if you start the device with the Volume Up held. From there I tried the Recovery Mode and did a Factory Reset. Then the tablet started up and shows the Green Andriod Bin Man, saysi Encrypting and promptly reboots. So one starts Googling and ends up here. Some very help information, thanks for that.
So I've got as far as installing all the drivers/Intel Phone tool/Android Suite etc. but I'm still stuck. The flash is locked. Is there another way to unlock this as I can't get into Android to allow the developer options as suggested in Step 2 of the opening post?
Trying the fastbook commands in post 2 also fail
Code:
FAILED (remote: Prohibited command in locked state.)
finished. total time: 0.170s
TIA
LOL @ me, of course the manual fastboot commands fail as that's precisely what the Phone Tool App trying when doing its magic.

Hi all, i have a problem that i can't solve, is the oem unlocking on my blu life one x2. I downloaded adb and fastboot (windows user), phone and adb drivers, and when i put the phone on bootloader mode, i run the "fastboot oem unlock" command, and the command prompt say: "need user wipe data, do fastboot oem unlock-go", so i put these command, and the oem is not unlocked yet, so I repeat those steps and the command prompt keeps showing me the same message (need user wipe data, do fastboot oem unlock-go). At this point, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, I made the factory format many times, and I cannot unlock the OEM.
Can help me pls? I want to root my device, but because of this problem, I can not go to other steps :crying: :crying:
Thanks

Hi there, I have THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. Done the same, with same lame results... BOOTLOADER STILL UNLOCKED!!
It is really frustrating... been through many posts and guides but can't finish them... fastboot OEM unlock with the user data eraser switch didn't work out well in any case.
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WITH A COMPLETE WORKING GUIDE WILLING TO SHARE IT?
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem also, I have posted on another thread but no responses. here is my error:
"FAILED (remote: Need wipe userdata. Do 'fastboot oem unlock-go')

Has anyone figured out how to onlock the NEW BOOTLOADER?
I have a new life one x2 that BLU sent me.

I actually still use this device and should be able to get you through this.
I'm not sure where are you on the device i.e. partly unlocked ect.
I'll start you from the top and I'll let you pickup wherever you like.
First, let's get our links ready (because I had these ready to go for myself).
I just checked it now, the device specific links still work.
ADB: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGM0JkOXJkUHdlRHM
MAGISK: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/topjohnwu/magisk-manager/
STOCK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGUFdVVkkzUk8yYWs
DRIVER: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGa3Q1cmN3eHI3QUE
DOWNLOAD: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6_iuhJQH7aGR05CSnlhWm1HWWc
1) Download The driver, download program, and stock ROM.
2) Install the first two files.
3) Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin
4) When your device is off; Hold down the vol up AND down while turning on the device and wait until the text disappears
5) Plug in the phone to the PC and a red light should start blinking
5) Unzip the stock rom (when done, it can take a while).
6) Open QFIL.exe
7) You should see "(COM8)" on the top for the connection
8) Click on the first Browse button and select the mbn file from the extracted stock ROM folder
9) Click on LOAD XML and click rawprogram_unsparse_upgrade and then patch0
10) Click download until the phone reboots into test mode; click reboot to start the 'new' phone
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Do the generic phone stuff to unlock the bootloader by enabling dev options and then enable BOTH OEM unlocking AND USB debugging
2) Download and install magisk from the link above and then download the zip file it gives you to flash
3) Download the TWRP image and ADB files listed above and do whatever you need/want to do (boot, flash, or both)
4) Flash the magisk zip file and your done
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete the folders fota, fota-updater, and fire from the system partition in TWRP as these are the spyware/adware that BLU added
If you want to disable and other apps that BLU added, you can just rename the file from *.apk to *.ap
I'll try to be around if you have any questions
Thank you for this. I just left on vacation and will not be able to try this till next week, hope you are around then as I am sure I will have questions.

Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you but I have been traveling out of the county and have not had time to try this.
I have been successful in rooting 2 Life One X2 phones with this prosses. One was new out of the box and the second one was an older one about 2 years old.
Thank you for all your help when no one ele knew the answer.
My next project is to root an Oukitel OK6000, there does not seem to be much information on this phone. If you hear of anything please let me know.

Hello dougo007,
Some of the links are dead and I am stuck and cannot figure out how to get passed the failed error on OEM unlock. It just keeps saying try unlock go.
Could you please provide new links or point me to someplace that I can use to oem unlock my BLU Life ONE X2. I searched and can't seem to find anything.
Having the same issue as you were and the links don't work

Hi pvkid, do you happen to have the files from the link? or new places I can find them I am stuck in the same place you were and can't for the life of me find anything anywhere else that helps.
Like many, I was overwhelmed with information when trying to unlock, flash, and root my phone. After many failures, I decided to compile the good information all in one place.
I hope this helps. If it does, please consider buying me a beer...

MY SPECS
I'm using the Redmi K20 Pro running Android version 9 PKQ1.181121.001 (patched July 1, 2109) and MIUI Global 10.3.5. I am in the United States and I have Verizon as my cellular service provider. On the Redmi K20 Pro in the United States, Verizon is compatible with LTE/GSM (and CDMA, but I learned that Verizon is phasing out CDMA).
BOOTLOADER & UNLOCKING
Let me start by thanking Jumundz who saved my ass when I bricked my phone. More on that below...
"ALL IN ONE" TOOL
The following guide details how to root your phone manually. If you already understand the process, or want to tweak some of the steps, I recommend using:
ALL IN ONE tool. / (mediafire alternative link)
...or...
Xiaomi ADB Fastboot Tools (this is the current version, 2.3.1)
DEVELOPER MODE & USB DEBUGGING
To start, we need to enable Developer Mode.
Go to Settings and then click on About phone.
Then tap "MIUI version" several times (5-7 taps) until a notification reads "You are now a developer."
Go back into the main Settings menu and scroll down until you see Additional settings.
Click on Additional settings and then scroll down until you see Developer options
Click on Developer options. Here you will find a number of options that are not commonly available. If you have not unlocked your device yet, you will notice that OEM unlocking is turned off and also greyed out so that you cannot click on it. Instructions for unlocking your device can be found below.
Scroll down and tap USB debugging.
** Optional ** I also tap Install via USB just in case I want to use that down the road.
After enabling Developer Mode, connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable. (*NOTE* Some USB cables only charge your device. Make sure your USB cable is designed to permit data transfer as well.) A notification will pop up on your phone asking if you would like to allow the connection for USB debugging. Press "YES" so that the computer and phone will recognize each other in the future.
OFFICIAL MIUI UNLOCK
As many of you know, Xiaomi created obstacles for those wishing to unlock the bootloader. Xiaomi claims they created the waiting period to "deter resellers from loading shady firmware into their devices" (LINK). So, I created a Mi Account and then made the unlock request with the official MIUI unlocking tool Mi Unlock. The program that downloaded (at least for me) through the official site was miflash_unlock-en-3.5.719.27.zip
MI ACCOUNT BYPASS TOOLS?
Since unlocking my device through the official pathway, I read that you can bypass this process using other tools. ** Disclaimer ** I have not personally used these tools! XiaoMiTool (version 1) is discussed in this XDA article, but recommends using XiaoMiTool V2(Download link to the latest version of XiaoMiTool V2). XiaomiBuzz suggests using the Mi Account Unlock Tool. Here is a link to the Mi Account Unlock download file (the password required to unpack the .rar file that downloads is ourflashfile.com).
JUST IN CASE: THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL
** Disclaimer ** You may not need this section, but if you run into problems (like I did) this is your salvation.
After a few failed attempts at rooting my Redmi K20 Pro, I flashed my device and found myself needing to unlock the bootloader (again). However, when I tried, I ran into an error message that read "you must wait 30 days before unlocking another device." Some of you have run into this problem if you accidentally lock your device while using Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools or TOOL ALL IN ONE (discussed later in this guide). Luckily, I found a thread by Jumundz (LINK) that indicated that an older version of MiFlash Unlocker (version 2.2.406.5) would still unlock my device. Thankfully it did!
GET THE STUFF YOU NEED
There are several sites that suggest to offer the best way to root your device. I have tried many of them and very few have worked (it's possible that I messed up the process somewhere). Whatever... this worked for me...
Generally, I followed this guide posted on AndroidInfoTech.com. I am, however, making some recommended changes.
XIAOMI USB DRIVERS
Start by getting the USB drivers. XiaomiBuzz has a pretty comprehensive list of all Xiaomi phones and their respective USB drivers (HERE). But, here is a link to the Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro USB Driver Package for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (32/64-bit). Scroll down and select the download link.
Alternatively, you could download the Xiaomi Mi PC Suite through mi.com and install the drivers through that program. The version I used was 2.2.0.7032_2717.
Go ahead and install the Xiaomi USB drivers.
ADB & FASTBOOT
Next you'll need to setup ADB & Fastboot. You must have USB Debugging enabled for either of these platforms to work properly. See above for instructions on USB Debugging. Both ADB and Fastboot are utilized through the command line, so I was confused me for the longest time on when to use each one. In fact, I had trouble getting ADB to work, but Fastboot worked fine. Turns out the reverse is more common (people tend to have problems with Fastboot, but not ADB).
Here's the difference:
ADB: This is the platform that you can use when your phone is turned on normally (booted into the system). So, if you can see your your normal phone screens, then ADB will work.
FASTBOOT: Note that you can still use Fastboot when your phone is turned on normally, BUT you cannot use ADB when your phone is in Fastboot mode.
Get the latest ADB Driver Installer from miui.blog. This will install ADB and Fastboot. The current version of the ADB Driver Installer (for me) was 1.4.3. (Alternative download through Mega.nz).
Alternatively (and I recommend this instead), you can get the Android Platform Tools Pack for Windows which comes with the Google USB drivers, ADB, Fastboot, and the ADB/Fastboot drivers. Download it from miui.blog here, or through Mega.nz here.
Go ahead and install the file package you have chosen. Once installed, ADB and Fastboot should be able to be used universally (from anywhere on your PC). Just know that many installation guides suggest installing ADB into a special folder on your C: drive which is fine too. We will come back to this folder to run some commands later in the guide.
TWRP
You'll need TWRP which is a recovery (or "temp") operating system that will run on your phone when you're attempting to root your device. However, TWRP doesn't have an official version specific to the Redmi K20 Pro. Luckily, XDA Member madsponge26 has a list of TWRP options that will work for the Redmi K20 Pro in this thread. I recommend going with the TWRP Auto Install option. You can also download a compatible TWRP image from androidfilehost.com. Here's a link to version-3.3.1-13-raphael.
Once downloaded, extract the .zip file. It should contain 5 or 6 files. Copy all of the files and paste them into the ADB folder (if you're sticking with my recommendation, it will be the "platform-tools" folder). When you copy-and-paste these files, it may ask you if you want to replace some files with the same names. That's fine (they're the same). Just click "Yes." If you downloaded the TWRP image separately (say, from androidfilehost.com), just copy the twrp.img file into the same folder.
MAGISK
Next download Magisk.zip from the official Magisk github.com page. The latest version (for me) was Magisk v19.4. Don't bother unzipping it. This .zip file will be placed (as a .zip file) onto your phone.
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION TREBLE
Also download Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip. Like Magisk.zip, don't bother unzipping this file because you're going to place it (as a .zip file) onto your phone. Here's a Dropbox link to directly download the file. Otherwise you can download it from Androidfilehost.com.
FLASHING TWRP & ROOTING
Alright, you got all the software tools and now we're ready to proceed with flashing TWRP and Magisk.
With your phone powered on normally, plug your device into your computer with the USB cable.
Pull down on the screen to display the notifications. One of them should read "Android System" and indicate how the phone is interacting with your computer as a connected device. Switch it to "File Transfer." Your phone should now show up as a drive on your computer.
Open the "Redmi K20 Pro" drive on your computer and then open the "Internal shared storage" folder (it should be the only folder).
Drag and drop the Magisk.zip and the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip into that folder.
**SIDE NOTE: Some guides suggest that you wait until you're in TWRP to transfer these files. That's fine. To do so, wait until you're in the TWRP interface and then select "Mount" and "Enable MTP." Your phone's internal storage should appear as a device on your computer and you can then transfer the .zips.
Once transferred, unplug your phone from the computer and power it off.
Enter into Fastboot mode by pressing and and holding down the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time. It may take several seconds. It will vibrate and then boot your phone into Fastboot mode.
Next, connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable.
Once you connect your phone to the computer via USB, you should hear the computer recognize the phone but you may not see it show up as a drive. That's okay.
Go to your computer and open a command line interface in the ADB folder (if you're sticking with my recommendation, it will be the "platform-tools" folder).
**NOTE: If you chose the Auto Install option of TWRP, you can simply double-click the file "flash_twrp.bat" and then skip to the next section (TWRP INTERFACE).
**TRICK: Go to the folder where you have the ADB file adb.exe and click in the file pathway (where it says "C:\Users\Username\Downloads\platform-tools_r29.0.4-windows\platform-tools" or whatever). Highlight and delete that file pathway, and instead type "cmd". Hit enter and it will open a terminal window already in the proper directory.
**SIDE NOTE: If you installed ADB/Fastboot universally, you can simply open the command line interface by clicking on Start and typing "cmd" to open a terminal window. Once in the terminal window, you can "cd" or change directory to the one where you have ADB. Also, you can use Powershell, but you may need to preference each Fastboot command with "./."
In that terminal window, make sure you're in the folder with adb.exe and then type this command:
fastboot devices
This command looks to make sure that the Fastboot platform recognizes your device. Next to "Fastboot Devices," you should see a series of numbers and letters. That series of numbers and letters is your phone identifier.. If you do not see any numbers/letters, then Fastboot does not see your phone and you need to troubleshoot the situation.
Next, type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
What this is doing is identifying what platform to use (fastboot), telling it what you want to do (flash), in which directory you want to perform that action (recovery), and what file to use to flash it (twrp.img). It is important to note that, depending on how you installed TWRP, the .IMG file may be called "recovery.img" or "twrp.img" or some variation of the TWRP version number. You can either rename the file to "twrp.img" or you can type in the entire filename.
Once you hit enter, it will read something like:
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.437s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.254s]
finished. total time: 1.696s
Once it's finished, enter this command to boot into the temporary TWRP recovery operating system:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Once you hit enter, it will read something like:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.428s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.138s]
finished. total time: 1.566s
TWRP INTERFACE
Unplug your phone from the USB. The screen will go black and you may see the "Redmi" logo come on the screen. After a few seconds, the TWRP title page will appear. Once the TWRP operating system powers on, you may be presented with the option to enter a PIN code (if you previously had one on your phone) or a passcode. Enter the PIN or code to get into the TWRP interface.
Once in TWRP, you will have several options. Click "Install" and scroll to the bottom of the file list to find the magisk.zip that you transferred onto your phone. Go ahead and swipe right to install it. Once the installation is complete, click "Reboot System" to power the phone back on normally.
That's it. Your Redmi K20 Pro should now be rooted.
If there are any problems, start the process over from the Fastboot interface on your computer (where you flashed TWRP onto your phone with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"). Go through the same process, but before you install the Magisk.zip, first install the Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip.
If this was helpful, please consider buying me a beer!

This should work but realistically all you really need to do is get all the drivers than go ahead and use mi flash tool to go to 10.3.16 fastboot Rom, can be found at mifirm, then go ahead and flash it make sure to select clean all, NOT clean all and Lock. (it's selected by default). Then proceed to install twrp, and flash any Rom you like, there are some modules for getting back nfc and Gpay so look around for them on here and boom you're all set.
Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader first obviously, after that it's relatively simple to install twrp, and after that it's smooth sailing. You just can't flash on stock European firmware as all these ROMs are based on the Chinese or Indian firmwares and vendors, and as a result will brick your phone,if you try to flash on 10.3.3. Trust me I've done it before and it's not fun.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Well you should realistically read the forums but this is basically what I did
1. Unlock Bootloader using official mi unlock tool, (make an acc. wait a week or so)
2. Get the mi flash tool preferably latest, download fastboot Rom CN 10.3.16 from mifirm (Google it)
3.Go to fastboot mode in phone plug it in, press refresh for port to be detected, extract the mifirm Rom to desktop select the second folder before images option
4. Flash the fastboot Rom make sure to select clean all, DO NOT FLASH CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. (Will brick your phone and you'll be sticked with a locked bootloader)
5. Flash process takes 5 mins roughly, boot in setup lockscreen pass remember it for twrp setup.
6. Flash twrp via fastboot or adb, use the raphael variant latest found on the forum
7. Boot into twrp and enter screen lock to decrypt phone
8. Download any Rom and GAPPS, flash them and you should boot just fine.
Proceed to install magisk, and any other modules you want (vanced, Gpay, etc)
There is a 10.3.17 version for Chinese fastboot Rom available not sure of its compatibility so don't bother just stick to 10.3.16
Very simple once you have an unlocked bootloader just be careful when using the mi flash tool.
Good luck :good:

I used CN 10.3.17 version and works fine.
Not working?
Hey, i tried doing this but the phone does not boot into TWRP after i send
fastboot boot "C:\Users\loren\Desktop\Root Mi9T\twrp-3.3.1-13-raphael-mauronofrio.img"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instead, it reboots to system, then when i reboot it again it does a couple of bootloops then enters Mi Recovery; to get it to work again i have to wipe all data.
Any ideas? I'm on MIUI 10.3.2.0 EU

Nevermind, i fixed it - instead of sending that i sent a simple fastboot reboot while pressing volume up. Booted into TWRP, installed disable-encryption and magisk, cleaned cache, and rebooted like a charm.
Thank you for the guide!
I tried to flash twrp on my mi9 t pro miui 10.3.2 global ( for some reason that's the latest ota i got don't know if its a fake rom ) , but can't get to recovery , i tried some versions of twrp but can't get to it with vol + and power button. I get 1st logo than screen fades to black , 1 time it took me to miui recovery.
By the way the miui version im on don't have the option to manually update ( manually select the update zip ),
Does this make it a fake rom?
Also if i try to install from the latest package from the updarer app can it fix my missing miui recovery or brick my phone?
Don't use XiaomiTools v2, my OS was corrupted and stuck at Mi logo after attempting to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery.
Better to do so using official mi unlock to unlock bootloader and ADB fastoot to flash TWRP
I used xiaomi tool v2 to unlock boolader, install twrp and xiaomi eu beta (9.10.17). The tool did it all for me, no drivers, no adb no commands used, nothing else but the tool (xiaomi mi 9t pro eea, windows 10)
Try this for MIUI 11
Install the ADB-Fastboot USB Driver.
Unlock the bootloader of your phone.
Flash TWRP on Redmi K20 Pro / Mi 9T Pro. You may also use Wzsx150’s TWRP if you want; it’s in Chinese tho.
Download Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM from the link above.
Reboot your phone to the TWRP Recovery mode.
Choose Wipe > Format Data then type Yes to confirm.
Copy the Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 Zip file to your phone.
Choose Install > locate the ROM Zip file > Swipe to confirm flash.
Choose Reboot > System.
Set up Google Account and you are good to go.

It would be nice if this worked for me........followed every single step and it will not boot into TWRP, it either gets stuck in a boot loop or it goes to the build in MiRecovery, and to get around this i need to force wipe the phone with MiRecovery, i quite literally am not allowed to install TWRP so i gotta go the other route to install Magisk and root my phone.......on EU version of the K20 pro if anybody else is having this issue or knows a fix.
I can't boot into TWRP.
Bootloader is unlocked.
I tried both TWRP, auto Install and version-3.3.1-13-raphael. Both install with "OK". On any of them when I send fastboot boot twrp.img I get again OK's, the screen goes black and it just stay there... any ideas? thanks!
Edit: yesterday I installed OTA update and then I did the bootloader unlock. I discovered in settings that my USB developer was not enabled (disabled after update/or unlock) - could this be a reason for TWRP not working?
Thanks for the guide. Couldn't install Magisk 20.1 via "TWRP 3.3.1-22 Unofficial by mauronofrio", however, was able to do it through TWRP 3.3.1-21.
K20 Pro India on MIUI 11.0.1.0.
Note: in the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' I thought 'recovery' was the source (computer) folder, but it was actually specifying the folder in the destination (phone).

Thanks for the guide. Couldn't install Magisk 20.1 via "TWRP 3.3.1-22 Unofficial by mauronofrio", however, was able to do it through TWRP 3.3.1-21.

intersting :what you mean by ##Note: in the command 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img' I thought 'recovery' was the source (computer) folder, but it was actually specifying the folder in the destination (phone).[/QUOTE]
## i do as always flash the twrp via cmd
1- fastboot devices
2- fast flash recovery " recoveryname.img "
3- fastboot reboot like that
what source you ?
The OP does a great job of explaining what each command does. If you're used to DOS commands, then when you issue a command that has a file name (eg: copy), you would specify a 'source directory' and a 'destination directory'. If the command contains only a single directory, then you won't get to know whether it's supposed to be a source directory or destination, unless it's specified explicitly. That's what I meant. But I guess if you know your way around android adb commands and such, you wouldn't have that confusion. I'm kinda new to this, so it wasn't obvious to me.

Today my son came to me with a Xiaomi Mi A3, it was in fastboot mode so I thought to press volume down key and power key, but it went straight back to fastboot mode. I asked him what he had done and he told me he had tried to root his phone. I went to my laptop and installed adb and looked at it and somehow he had locked everything, bootloader and critical. Is there any way I can fix this?

Requirements :
adb drivers installed
Mi Flash Tool
Your device's fastboot rom

Make sure adb drivers are installed
Open Mi flash tool application in your pc
Select the fastboot rom folder of your device
Choose "clean all" option from the bottom - DO NOT CHOOSE "CLEAN ALL AND LOCK"

Here's a video for visual reference (sorry it's in hindi) - https://youtu.be/rJePUW8Xczw
Hope you make it, Best of luck !
And by the way, after that I think you should install a custom rom like Pixel Experience or EvolutionX because default stock android kinda sucks.

I've been using Pixel Experience, but there have been a lot of random rebooting that have made me flash A10 stock again.
If you happen to use EvolutionX, are you having reboot issues or anything like that?
Thank you, preliminary!

You need to use EDL mode, for which you need an authorized Mi Account - either use one of the paid online services or visit a service center.
