I successfully flashed the phone to 10.3.12.0 using TWRP and then was able to install the 10.3.14.0 OTA update.

Something seems really strange here : I flashed TWRP recovery using the standard methods and it is automatically replaced by the stock recovery after a reboot. That is, I flash TWRP, flash any ROM I want, and if I want to launch TWRP again, it is gone and I can see that the recovery is Redmi Stock recovery.

Is this ordinary ?

For me, it seems to be a good thing since restoring automatically the stock recovery enables people to upgrade their phones thanks to OTA updates on a flashed rom without any problems.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
MIUI will restore stock recovery on a reboot. You need to install Magisk to prevent this. Installing a xiaomi.eu ROM should also prevent this. If you install a stock ROM from TWRP, then the stock ROM will restore stock recovery when it is rebooted.

Hi!

Turns out that like for a few others, I have received a k20 pro with an already unlocked bootloader. As far as I can tell the Mi account was not bound (it asked me to log in and I was able to use the account I used with my Poco F1). The ROM seems to work fine but I would actually like to install the xiaomi.eu ROM. My questions:

1. With this "seller ROM" is it possible to simply flash TWRP, wipe and install xiaomi.eu ROM, or will I have problems?

2. Is my phone really not bound to another account?

3. If I cannot simply flash TWRP, what is the process I have to follow to get xiaomi.eu ROM on my phone?

Sorry if I missed the answer to one of these questions.

Thanks in advance!

tried both the latest mi.eu 9.7.4 and mi boom 9.7.4 dev rom on k20 pro, found out that the mi.eu still having google and youtube hang issue.

And can i flash the 10.3.14 chinese rom right away using the default recovery, if any?

Thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
Have you been using the phone over the last week? I've seen people suggest that this happens if the phone is unused after initially starting the unlock process. Supposedly it's meant as a deterrent against resellers from installing unofficial ROMs. They would normally leave phones on the shelf while waiting to unlock it. Though looking around different forums, there is some debate about whether this is real or not.

You could try creating a new Mi account. You will need to remove your phone from the old account, then delete your phone number from the old account.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] iXanza:
There is no global ROM yet. The one in the first page is from xiaomi.eu . I'm using Netflix fine on Xiaomi.eu stable with magisk but it's on L3

You can flash it via then updater app.

Thank you so much for your guide! I have installed both Dolby digital plus and viper4android and they work like a charm! Now, my problem is that they only work with the speaker and not with the Bluetooth devices...

Hi, are you sure? I own a mi 9t pro running MIUI 11.0.3.0 QFKEUXM android 10 and i want to rollback to MIUI 10 10.3.3.0 PFKEUXM android 9 (i've found the fastboot version) and i'm waiting the last 40 hours to unlock. In order to rollback i thought that i just had to:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Connect via fastboot the phone

3. Flash the fastboot version using miflash via PC being careful not to lock bootloader again.

Am i wrong? Is it not possibile to do that with EU official rom?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
Leo was referring to unofficial xiaomi.eu ROMs, not official EU ROMS. What you say is correct for official EU ROMs.

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

Turn off WiFi, go to the Mi Unlock Status setting and hit start.

On the PC open the Mi Unlock Tool and login. Login using the phone number of the SIM card in the phone as the user ID and your normal password.

Boot the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC and hit go in the unlock tool.

When you get the 168 hours wait, you need to use the phone normally for 7 days.

Do not change the Mi account associated with the phone.

Do not go to the Mi Unlock Status setting in the developer options and press the start button again.

These things will restart the timer back to 168 hours.

After 7 days open the Mi Unlock Tool and login. Login using the phone number of the SIM card in the phone as the user ID and your normal password.

Boot the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC and hit go in the unlock tool.

As long as you've waited more than 168 hours it should now unlock.

Ah Ok thanks a lot! Can i ask you one last thing? I know that locking again bootloader can lead to a brick, i was figuring if there is a way to lock it again and in what scenario this can be possible. Many thanks again
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
You can only lock the bootloader when you flash the official MIUI ROM that is for the same region as the phone is originally from.

e.g. If you have an EU phone you can only lock the bootloader when flashing an EU ROM.

If you are flashing a ROM from a different region it will brick the phone.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] dariofreud:
Ok so in my case i could do it... I will not because i'm afraid of some error-mistakes, but it's good to know That in case they reject warranty because of unlocking, there's a way to relock

Hello there, I successfully downgraded from QFKEUXM 11.0.3.0 to PFKEUXM 10.3.3.0 with no problem keeping my bootloader locked (even though the seconds of black screen just after flashing gave me a little heart attack XD) .

I have a couple of questions i hope someone can help me with:

1. I've seen that there's the 10.3.4.0 update avalabile; in case i want to upgrade can i do it normally through settings or because of bootloader i'm forced to use fastboot?

2. In case i want to do it, is there a way to Relock bootloader without flashing another rom and wiping everything?

Thanks in advance
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] sam00561:
Interesting you've gone back to pie. I guess some people prefer Android 9. Regarding the 10.4 update you should update to that as I think it is the last pie update before Q arrived. I remember when I flashed back to pie I kept getting this ota update notification until I did it through the ota and it didn't affect the bootloader status at all.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] dariofreud:
Thanks for replying! Yes, i'm back to PIE mainly because of battery performance. When i bought the phone, the Q update arrived like few days after and since then i felt like worse battery performance compared to PIE. Because it was a just few days experience, i wanted to try it again and see how it goes.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] sam00561:
We'll I and other people also felt the same but I think you need to give Q a little while longer to settle down as I am now getting about the same battery performance as when on Pie. At first I had the same issue but I think how the adaptive battery technology works out takes time to understand the pattern of your usage and then battery life gets way better it did on mine.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] dariofreud:
I got your point, and i agree. That is why i've waited and thought about this very carefully. After more than a month, i think PIE deserves a chance

Hi,

I have a redmi k20 pro device with the unlocked China stable. Yesterday I installed twrp from the 1st page. Installed successful, but when I open the twrp it's not showing my file in the internal SD card. It just showing some unknown folder.

The question is, how can I see my real folder in this twrp? Ex Downloaded rom and the others

And when I mount the twrp in my pc just showing the same folder file in my pc. And can't copy any file to my phone.

Thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
This is because the data is encrypted, but the TWRP you are using is not decrypting the data. When you first boot into TWRP, it should ask for the PIN/pwd you've set to unlock the phone, as this is also the unencrypt key.

If you are sticking with MIUI, then try flashing OrangeFox Recovery instead.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] abhye_x:
When first boot up the twrp isn't ask a password..

Is the orange fox recovery permanent? The usual twrp disappeared after boot to the system.

And is that possible to flash China beta over the China stable ? I have an unlocked China stable now

Thanks in advance

Best regard
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
This is why I recommend you to install another recovery. It should ask for the password.

MIUI will restore stock recovery normally, so you need to do something to stop that from happening. Installing Magisk will stop a custom recovery from being 'lost' and this is what most people do because they want root anyway.

If you install OrangeFox from fastboot, then you need to boot immediately into OrangeFox and then flash OrangeFox again. Flashing OrangeFox again when booted in OrangeFox will also stop stock recovery from being restored.

Yes you can do this. You can do this even if you haven't unlocked the bootloader.

Download the beta recovery ROM (the .zip file) to the phone. Go to the update app in the phone settings, where you check for updates. Click the three dots in the top corner. Use the option to select an update package, then select the beta ROM file.

This will now install the beta ROM. If you have problems after this, it is recommended to do a factory reset in the phone settings.

If you want to return back to stable it is not recommended to use this method. To return to stable it is best to fastboot flash the stable fastboot ROM.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] abhye_x:
Thanks so much for the explanation

"Go to the update app in the phone settings, where you check for updates. Click the three dots in the top corner. Use the option to select an update package, then select the beta ROM file"

It's strange that in my China stable rim don't have this option.

Is my rom fake or what?

(did you make it?)

I'm running EU rom, I was hoping I could submit a request to add "Contacts, Messaging, Phone, Files, Security, Updater, Health"

These appeared to be different, as they weren't found in the debloat tool. also, maybe a sub-GUI for MI-apps, google apps, EU apps within the bloat button?

(It's alright if its too much work, I'm just casually asking) (also, I'd love to learn how to make such an app myself, would you be willing to teach me?)

As the other answers say: yes!

Can anyone help me regarding the error in mi unlock tool: "Sorry your MI ID is not associated with a phone number"

I've followed all the steps correctly in unlocking your bootloader via the mi unlock tool. I have a phone number indeed registered and even pressed the mi unlock in developer options and that was a success too (which means I have indeed a number fohking registered).

I've switched numbers etc. to no avail. Any thoughts on this?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
Login to the Mi Unlock Tool with your phone number as the user ID and your normal password. This should be the number of the SIM that was in the phone when you last done the step in the Mi Unlock Status screen.

It's a bug. I believe that when you hit the button in the Mi Unlock Status screen, if there is no phone number associated with your Mi account, it should update your Mi account and add the phone number of the SIM card. However, what actually happens is that a new MIUI account is created with the phone number of the SIM and with the same password as the original Mi account.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] dackota:
Thanks.. but Unfortunately I used more than 7 accounts whith 7 numbers ( 7 sim card) every day I tried .. finally I decided to delete all accounts from mi account & now received message that you can't use this number before 6 months .. & still can't unlock BL

I did everything as u explained before & now format the k20 p.p after that the phone can't activate sim card.. is that important to use the phone since receiving 168 hours to next try?? I'm always off phone after got failure to unlock !!!!

whats next??

I'm a newbie to the xiaomi world. I've unlocked my bootloader and I've installed the orange fox recovery. The version of rom that I am on is RAPHAEL which I'm assuming is Chinese. Is it possible to switch to the European firmware. If yes could someone please guide me through it?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Robbo.5000:
Yes it's possible. You will need to flash a fastboot ROM.

You can obtain the latest fastboot ROM from here.

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphael/

Select the Mi 9T Pro EEA Fastboot ROM.

Follow this guide to flash the fastboot ROM.

WARNING: YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE IF YOU DON'T TAKE NOTE OF THIS NEXT BIT.

In step 5 of the guide, notice the 3 options at the bottom of the picture

YOU MUST CHANGE THE DEFAULT OPTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MI FLASH TOOL.

Change the option to 'clean all', so that it is the same as the picture in the guide.

YOU MUST CHANGE THE OPTION BEFORE YOU HIT THE FLASH BUTTON.

https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2

If you view this on a mobile browser, you might see a blank page. In this case change the mobile browser to desktop mode, then you will be able to see the guide.

Flashing a fastboot ROM will delete all data in the phone, so backup all data that you want to keep. You will need to reinstall Orange Fox again after this.
