Hi guys. I haven't found any thread that was tutorial to unlock bootloader and flash rom so i decided to make one. First of all you need to know that this MAY brick your device and don't try it if you don't know what you are going to do. Do it only at your own risk and don't cry when your device will get hard bricked. I'm not responsible for anything!
Things that you'll need:
Xiaomi Mi 9T
Minimal ADB
Drivers
MIUI Unlock Official Tool
TWRP Recovery (this one is by LR.Team)
Latest Stable Xiaomi.eu Rom
BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE DOING ANYTHING (trust me...)
Unlocking Bootloader
0. Log into your Mi Account on phone!
1. Enable Developer Settings -> Enable USB Debugging
2. Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings
3. Add device in Mi Unlock status in Developer Settings. From this step you need to wait 168 hours to get unlock permission. If you have done these steps before, you can continue with this tutorial
4. Unpack MIUI Unlock and log into it
5. Shut down your phone
6. Press and hold Vol Down button and Power button at the same time to reboot to Fastboot mode
7. You're now in Fastboot mode. Connect your phone to your PC with Xiaomi's Original USB Cable (to avoid issues)
8. Click Unlock in the MIUI Unlock
9. If you see error that you still need to wait, then just wait and continue with this tutorial
---After 168 hours---
1. Start the MIUI Unlock again and click Unlock and wait till it's done
2. When it says "Unlocked successfully", congratulations, you have unlocked bootloader.
Flash TWRP
1. Connect your phone to PC
2. Reboot to Fastboot using Vol Down and Power button
3. Make sure you have TWRP img in same folder as Minimal ADB
4. Start Minimal ADB
5. Type this to make sure you have your device there
Code:
fastboot devices
6. Once you can see it in the list, type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name of TWRP image].img
7. Type
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
and you're in TWRP
(if not, download the russian fix TWRP and start the Flash TWRP.bat file)
8. Swipe to Allow Modifications
9. Go to Wipe->Format data and type yes (WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA!)
10. Go to main screen and then go to Reboot->Reboot recovery
11. Once you're in TWRP again, Go to Mount->Mount internal storage
Flash Xiaomi.eu Rom
1. Move Xiaomi.eu Rom to internal storage
2. Press Install in TWRP
3. Select Xiaomi.eu Rom
4. Swipe to confirm Flash
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy!
If i have in this any mistake let me know in comments.
I was in need of a guide before bricking something.
Thank you for the initiative.

Ok, I received today mi phone and I started to set it up. There was no error until step 9 , I've seen 168 hours to wait and I therefore I've continued setting Miui . My first experience after 5-6 years. All seems ok , I didn't liked Miui Launcher so I tried a beta version from Play store ( no changes at a brief glance ) and then Poco Launcher . It seem more pleasant and customisable . After that I tried to see how many hours have elapsed from those 168 . Unfortunately I couldn't connect my PC to phone in Fastboot : no devices connect after the command " fastboot devices " an , logical, MiUnlock said " no phone connected " . All seems fine except this . I can get into Mi recovery and boot to system , once booted to sys. I can connect phone to PC and transfer files from it. It's normal behavior the matter with fastboot and I have to wait 168 hours until I could connect its again in fastboot ? Or I missed something ( Poco Launcher , maybe another settings ) ?
Dear friend,
After se format data in twrp, we have to Mount storage? Are you sure? Why that?

You tried adb devices in fastboot mode? Or fastboot devices in system mode? Cause adb syntax is for system and fastboot syntax is for... unexpected... fastboot

I tried adb as well as fastboot commands . " adb devices " isn't it ? List with devices is empty .
What's strange is that I can connect with fastboot the other devices : my old OP3 and MiPad 4 ( rooted) .

All commands were done in fastboot mode. Does it works in system mode ?

Yes because ADB devices is focused to system (when u running system as normal user) but you must change adb to fastboot when you are in fastboot mode so simply "fastboot devices"

So, let's repeat : I started the phone to Fastboot . Start the windows command on PC and type " fastboot devices " . No device seen . Can I do anything else or do what do I have to check ?
While I'm into MiRecovery and select " Connect with MiAssistant " the next picture with a cable connected the phone does see the connect / disconnect cable. But Mi PcSuite doesn't see the phone.
Settings in developer option - see the attach. screenshots.
On PC - in Device manager , while phone is connected - see attach.
Command adb while phone is in system : it's running and find the device.
Thank you for your patience !

I don't know that language in phone but when you have USB debugging enabled it should work. Do you have adb tools installed in PC? And are u running adb tools and not normal CMD? And what's writing in that adb tools when it can't find device?

After those loooong discussion I decide to have a last try before returning the phone . Switch to fastboot mode , connect a ( white ) cable and type the magical command " fastboot devices " . And it works ! The white cable it's the original one that came with phone ! All I tried meantime I used another ones and the result you may read above. Or could be the colour - non-working ones are red ( good for OP3 ) , black ( samsung ) and so on ?
Now I've to wait less then 141 hours !

That's weird issue. I'm always connected with original cable so i don't have these issues but thanx for report
I have a question about the step #3. When i do it i get a message saying that i need to disable wifi and to be sure that internet data is working. Is it possible to do that without internet data?
The easiest way I have found is using xiaomi tool. https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ makes it so much easier.

HELP ! HELP ! HELP !
hard bricked by flashing a miui rom from twrp without deleting the emmc file :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
i can only go to fastboot , no recovery , miui logo for 3 seconds
please someone help me !!! :crying::crying:
will the test point work ?
Edit :-
Thank you all , i managed to unbtick using test point .!!
I know enough to tell you that I'd you can get fastboot yo work, its not bricked. Honestly I don't own the device. I own lg g3. And it might be different for this device but you can try pushing recovery from fasyboot mode using your PC. You might wanna google how to tbh and ask around ppl with similar device if possible. Pushing through fastboot/adb is most common so pushing recovery will format recovery partition and install/push new one. That will get you working recovery. (I hope). Happy flashing.
In fastboot check if bootloader is locked by running the device info command... It is not locked you have hopes... Use fastboot to flash fastboot rom package with modified emmc file and modded image...
Its locked
Only way is to do test point method or take it to a service center

"BUT DONT FLASH MIUI ROM USING TWRP IF YOU UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER UNOFFICIALY"
If bootloader is unlocked officially then can we flash any MIUI recovery ROM using TWRP without need of modifying Recovery ROM (deleting bootloader file , patch boot.img) ? can we switch to any MIUI ROM then easily ?

Oh Lol , have asked many people but none of them are sure about this .. but i have asked from mi chat they said once bootloader is unlocked you can't lock it back by flashing MIUI roms as it's security feature . SO we can say unofficial method is problem if you like to switch to between ROM's but official one will not create any problems ..still not sure though have to ask who have done through Official method.

The solution:
1. Press and hold VolUp+VolDown+Power (all 3 buttons) at the same time.
2. The MI logo will appear for some time, and then disappear, don't release the buttons.
3. The MI logo will then appear briefly, and then disappear. Now release all 3 buttons.
4. Connect the phone to PC, and then proceed to use MiFlash as usual.

very good how to! couldn't go wrong.! before step 4 I also check if device is connected via code: adb devices.
if device is not showing up you already know somethin's wrong.
Thank you for the guide. I pushed twrp into my phone without any error and I'm on the OTA 5.8.015S but it doesn't work. I rebooted into recovery and it still gave me the stock recovery screen.
Finally got it to work! After pushing twrp you have to type fastboot boot twrp.img and you will get a screen that looks like it's broken. Leave it alone for about 1 minute or two then the screen will turn off. Then press the power button once only to wake the screen up. From there twrp is working! Thank you to steve mars and jim262 for this tips!
Cannot mount /cust in TWRP
After trying to flash I noticed that after the wipes The failure of /cust cannot be mounted appears.

I don't have the phone yet - a mix of both, as I will be in a similar situation soon.
@Sörnäinen, I have no problem in getting the adb to work on my Win 10 PC although I have no intention to root or install third party ROM on my phone. I am happy with the stock Chinese 18S firmware.

That's welcome news, cheers.
For me rooting a phone and putting a custom ROM of my choice is essential - not to speak of Titanium Backup to transfer all my stuff to the new phone.
I can use adb to reboot the phone into bootloader. But the fastboot seems not working. Anyone has idea?

Yep. I ended up with the exactly same issue.
Not working at all, no matter what I do.
Hm. Can anyone help? My phone is not being recognized in ADB devices. Not on my Windows 10 machine, not on my windows 7 machine, not on my Mac.
So it must be something on the phone site. Rooting as well as installation of TWRP sadly not possible this way.
Any help available?

Where did you buy it? I bought from geekbuying two weeks ago. My EUI version is 5.8.0.15S(Stable), and seems like a special build for international user with google play store.

I'm already considering to just keep the EUI, but I do not trust their PlayStore installation...
Ok. For all those who run into troubles:
Windows 10 has driver issues. You need to install a separate fastboot driver via the device manager of Windows.
And the TWRP that's suggested in this thread can have issues - the TWRP von TeamSpain is less temperamental.
I also noted that adb and fastboot only worked from the minimal Adb and fastboot thread here on XDA, the 15 sec version wouldn't want to work on my Windows system.
This was a bumpy ride, heaven's sake.

No need to download. Just choose the list of drivers on the PC and take the one that's made for fastboot.
this is not real for dummies
this is what you forgot
1) after enable debug mode with tapping 7 times build you must actually enabyle usb debug in settings
2) to install the driver in win10 which dont work automatic unrar the adbsetup and then start in driver dir DPInst_x64.exe
3) after I did manage to adb reboot bootloader I got after reboot into the bootloader but then I am stuck

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

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?

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!

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.
