Thanks, Bootloader successfully unlocked.

Home screen, apps, contacts, call logs, SMSes and Notes backed up and restored over Xiaomi Cloud..

Btw, this Fastboot command:

fastboot oem device-info

for the originally locked Bootloader returns:

(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

and once that Bootloader is unlocked:

(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

Does this method work on devices updated to MIUI 11.0.4?

Yes, I flashed it from there
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] ItsBlue:
Hello, noob here. Just wondering if there's a way to flash the EU ROM without unlocking the bootloader? I'm on the lastest CN firmware, it doesn't have google assistant support amongst other things. I still wanna have access to OTA updates & not tamper with it too much. Is there any way? Thanks in advance.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] ShiningScias:
In your case you can only use the stock Chinese MIUI ROM with a locked bootloader. If you want to switch to a non-Chinese MIUI or any custom ROM such as .EU you have to unlock the bootloader.

There's absolutely no way around it, and if you relock the bootloader after flashing any non-Chinese stock MIUI for your case you end up with a hard brick.

.EU (and many AOSP based ROMs) have OTA updates.

Hello, am waiting 10 days and nothing happend. Where to check how many hours are left so I can unlock bootloader? Thank you to all.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Wolfcity:
Start the procedure with MI unlock tool.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Mr.Jay:
Hi, I just followed the steps until the third and I succesfully added my device to Mi Unlock, really do I have to wait 1 week in order to continue the process?

Will Xiaomi send me an email or something when everything its ready? Sorry if this is a noob question, this is my firts Xiaomi device ever used and I never have to do this process on other devices in other to root them.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] zgfg:
Just wait exactly 7 days and then try again

You must have SIM card and use the phone
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] androidext:
Hi, another one waiting the 7 days... meanwhile, the TWRP version from first post doesn't seem the last/better possible. What's the difference between the official TWRP 3.3.1-0 and the one in the first post? And with that other?

I only want a working recovery, just for wipes and installing roms, nothing more strange than that. In English, please. Which one is better of them?

Thank you.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Wolfcity:
Use the official.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Atipik:
Hi everyone,

I followed the tutorial, and I downloaded the official twrp : twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.

My Mi9t is unlocked (it is written when I turn it on) but when I flash the twrp and try to reboot in Twrp the phone reboot but I have blackscreen. I tried with the command "fastboot reboot recovery" but I have an error like "unknown device" something like that. So I tried with another command : "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img" and I have a blackscreen...

Now I am stuck in a bootloop with Miui fastboot.

So how can I fix the bootloop and install the twrp ? (I tried with official twrp and raphael's twrp, it is the same problem)

*EDIT* I flashed ROM stock from Xiaomi Flash and I fixed the issue. But it still not working when I try to flash TWRP.

I have a Mi9t global version.

Thanks
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] PearseCF:
Put this in another thread but whenever I flash TWRP the phone won't boot to it, just keeps loading the fastboot screen. Anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong? I've reflashed stock with miflash for now to get the phone working.

Similar to the above really.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] TapaSte:
In which manner did you try to enter in recovery after flashed it ?

rn8t
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] PearseCF:
I tried vol+ and power. Also tried "fastboot reboot recovery" Either way just goes back to the fastboot screen.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Micdu70:
Use latest Official TWRP and not the outdated version from this guide. ;)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] PearseCF:
I've tried that but it still does the same, got it from here https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimi9t.html

I've just used miflash to flash official firmware to get out of the fastboot loop. Put the phone back into fastboot. Flashed the official TWRP, then booted to recovery via the fastboot command. Just does the same again. Stuck as to where it is going wrong.

Edit: God knows why but using the command line wouldn't work. Did everything again and used the hardware buttons and it has worked. Cheers chaps.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] zhekozhekov:
Hello.

I just unlocked my Mi 9T without waiting 168 hours? It is normal and had it happened before?

I downloaded the latest Mi Unlock Tool (miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1128.45.zip) from here:

https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

Unpacked it and placed phone in fastboot with Volume down plus Power buttons.

Just for the curiosity, connected the phone as it was in fastboot, and started miflash_unlock.exe

On the initial screen, it asks for the Mi account, it recognized the phone, but gave error on step 2 – unlock.

Rebooted the phone as normal with fastboot reboot command.

Then, in developer options I bound the phone with my only one Mi account under Mi Unlock Status.

After that, I switched off the phone and placed in fastboot again. Connected to the PC and started the miflash_unlock.exe from the Mi Unlock Tool zip to check whether it will show any waiting period. This time all checks turned green and I somehow successfully unlocked it, for 15min.

Rebooted the phone and Unlocked icon appeared on the Mi start screen, and entire data was reset.

Now I am running a restore from the cloud.

Other thing. In Developer options/Mi Unlock Status, it says Unlocked.

Did I actually unlocked it? Thanks.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] dillingerescape:
Very interesting. I was just about to start my unlock process and read this. On the official site I got an older version of the Unlock tool. But through google I found the version that you were mentioning.

With that I also had no wait time and was able to unlock my phone right away!
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] Gandalf2210:
Also no wait time.

Maybe they changed in newer firmwares of the phone?

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] necrocancro:
Thanks for the guide. One question .. on step :

9. Go to Wipe->Format data and type yes

Since I'm changing from the official global rom to the EU rom should I also delete/format the system in TWRP?

thanks for the reply.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] zgfg:
Not System, but Data

And there is no Delete option in TWRP, there are two options FORMAT and Wipe - they don't mean the sane (Format is much stronger)

You must do exactly FORMAT as in the guide, not Wipe - with Wipe, Internal storage would remain scrambled and instead of to Android it would reboot to TWRP/Recovery
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] necrocancro:
One more question. At this very moment I just finished unlocking bootloader. Everything went OK.

After that I used fastboot to install twrp. All ok. But now when I try to enter TWRP (vol up + power) the Mi Recovery still appears.

Any ideias?

Edit: Used the russian fix TWRP and now the device is always in fastboot .... please help. Rebooting the device will always enter in fastboot.

Edit: Flashed twrp 3.3.1.0 version from here : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/davinci/

All good now. Thank you.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] zgfg:
There is now the official TWRP 3.4.0 for davinci,, but IMO the best (more partitions supported for Backup/Restore and for Installing img files) is this unofficial 3.4.0.2:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83090455&postcount=1

For any TWRP, immediately upon flashing, reboot first to TWRP - otherwise stock Boot will restore stock Recovery

Better use:

>> fastboot oem reboot-recovery

It will force rebooting to the just flashed TWRP (with no need to pin-point by Vol+ and Pow)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] dannyzamora:
One question, what is best recovery actually for use in mi 9t? Orangefox (not updated) or twrp 3.4.0.2? Thanks!

Enviado desde mi Mi 9T mediante Tapatalk
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] zgfg:
In the OrangeFox thread was mentioned that OF for davinci is no more maintained but also that there is new Telegram channel with the updated unofficial OF builds

I use unofficial TWRP 3.4.0.2 from brigudav (two posts above) and everything works perfect.

You have all options for Magisk, OTA, etc, like in OF, but it supports all partitions to backup/restore (official 3.4.0 supports maybe 40% of them, OF maybe 70% of them - last official)

Also, from/to MIUI 12?

I am trying to unlock my MI 9T, I followed the procedure, when unlocking on Mui's software, it tells me "Sorry your MI ID is not associatet with to phone number", someone one would have an idea? thank you in advance
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] necrocancro:
Hi,

Yes, I converted from Global V12.0.2.0.QFJEUXM to EU weekly. From Miui 12.0.2.0 to Miui 12.1 (20.8.6/7)

Regarding battery:

Global V12.0.2.0.QFJEUXM was a little better (during the night drained between 10mAh and 12 mAh)

Now with Miui 12.1 (20.8.6/7) battery drains between 14 mAh to 21 mAh (however with this one I have the sleep app enabled)

During the day battery drain is the same.(Very good in my device). With normal usage, wi-fi enabled, playing games :) and NO live wallpapers ... battery lasts 2 days.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

I had the same issue.Go to Xiaomi website : https://account.xiaomi.com/ and add your phone number manually. It worked for me.

Also after doing that, log to MIUI Unlock using your phone number or your Mi ID. Don't use the email . For some weird reason it didn't worked for me.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] zgfg:
Thank you for the answer.

Are there visible differences between MIUI 12 and 12.1?

Frankly, I'm not so excited if battery is even worse than on EEA 12.0.2 (but with some debloating and disabled features I'm not using I'm not so terribly bad but still worse than on previous 11.0.6)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] necrocancro:
No big changes. More animations and a few bugs fixed. I don't use the stock launcher so I can't tell if there are changes there.

Super live wallpapers (Earth and Mars) are installed by default. Everything else is pretty much the same.

Battery for me is ... the same. I have no complains now nor did I with Miui 11. As I previously said battery is great for me.

One thing I noticed is that fingerprint unlock is a lot better (faster). With previous builds it took a

1 or 2 seconds ... now it's almost instantaneously.

Hi, my Pixel 2 XL used to get unlocked, TWRP installed, some system files modified via TWRP. But now I flashed stock rom by running flash-all on Google platform tool and then relocked bootloader.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ilal2ielli:
Wait until next month's OTA.

If you're completely stock, which you should be since you were able to relock bootloader without having a brick for a phone, then you'll get next month's OTA.

if I holding VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY + POWER the screen changed to black for second and again show me the 'samaung galaxy note9' screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
your initial issue was that you DIDINT format data when you first flashed twrp. please read dr.ketans guide in the guides and discussion thread.

when the phone reboots by holding vold down and power, very very quickly swap to the DL button combo(vol down + bixby) and plug cable. reflash twrp 3.2.0.0 and follow the instructions. ( when odin fisnishes flashing twrp in the AP slot, DONT let phone boot to home screen or at all. immediately hold vol up +bixby +pwr to enter twrp recovery. then swipe to allow modification and go directly to wipe menu and format data. type yes when asked. go to reboot menu and choose reboot to recovery and flash

put a tempered glass on the screen, now as soon as i pick up the device the fingerprint icon on the screen is shown in decent grey, not animated, but always this dark grey barely to see.

didnt notice that before, does glass on the screen affect the display/built in fingerprint sensor that easy?

global ROM without the ability to diasbale fingerprint sensor, btw do not want to disabel or even change the ROM)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 SE Questions & Answers] kagazushi:

My guess is that the issue comes from the tempered glass itself.

well then for sure it is the kind of glass on it

[Xiaomi Mi Play Questions & Answers] jaraneee:
My problem is with black screen Xiaomi Mi Play. No fastboot, no recovery. If it is connected to charger only led flashes two times every minute. Also, when holding Power button + Volume Down/Up phone vibrate after every 10-15 seconds. I download official fastboot ROM and tried to connect the phone with XiaoMiFlash but phone is not showing. Only I can hear(on PC) a USB connection (and disconnection 1 second after) every 10-15 seconds while I'm holding Power button + Volume Down.

I tried to deattach battery to try to reset it, but nothing happens.

Unfortunately this model is 8 months old but still doesn't have much support (recovery twrp, custom roms, root guides...etc.),

PLEASE HELP ME quickly because my battery was at 60% when it went to black screen few days ago, so I asume I don't have to much time left to do something.

History: Bought new in store last week. Bootloader is unlocked. I tried to flash unofficial twrp for Mi Play and completely lost access to any recovery. I rooted phone with Magisk(trough fastboot) and it worked fine (Root Checker also). Then I started Factory Reset in phone (because I hoped it will get me at least official stock recovery), but instantly phone goes black.

Thanks very much

hi

hard brick solution
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
Hey guys,

So apparently the cell standby on my 9t + eu stable rom device is also high, like some of other xiaomi device users. Its about the same percentage as the screen usage, which is a bit rediculous to me.

I have tried switching to LTE/WCDMA, but that did not seem to help.

I am trying some other settings such as disabling Smart wifi/Mobile data switching, disable AGPS , disable bluetooth such to see the effect. Since nobody is siue about the real cause, lets just try with everything that is even slightly related to mobile radio.

So if you would like to contribute, please provide the following information:

- Do you have outstanding "cell standby" drain while mobile data is enabled?

- During all this time on battery, on you on wifi?( i.e. not using mobile data theoretically)

- is your bluetooth enabled and connected to something.

- Smart wifi/Mobile data switching enabled?

- Network type? ( in *#*#4636#*#* menu)

- AGPS enabled?

- Your region, Mobile service provider/company, and if the mi 9t is missing any lte band with your provider?

- **** Add any info you think can be useful. ****

Lets crowd source the problem and hopefully we can either solve it, or find the cause to the problem and tell Xiaomi so that they can fix it...

Also posted on miui EU forum for hopefully more input
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
So for me,

- i have high drain from cell standby during the day.

- Wifi is enabled, which theoretically should require much less cell data transmission.

-bluetooth enabled and connected to mi band 4

- smart wifi switching disabled

- lte/wcdma, and slot 2 disabled

-agps disabled

- Canada, rogers, and missing band 18 and 26, i think
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] razielmcr:
I have big standby cell drain (same as screen) BUT...

I decided to check drains last week, my test consisted to close everything and go to sleep (8 hours stand by)

- WiFi enabled and data off (LTE/WCDMA singal): 2% drain.

- WiFi enabled and data off (LTE/ TDSCA/UMS singal): 4% drain. Airplane mode and WiFi enbaled: 2-1%

So for me I think it's just a visual bug. Not real life usage actually, so I have no problem if the battery states that.

Region Mexico, ATT, GPS disabled always
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] hermilorom:
Hope this helps

I left my phone yesterday before sleep with 23% of battery and I put 3 alarms that was about 3 am i woke up at 9:30am (yeah after the 3 alarms lol) and the battery was at 21% so i would consider tha the phone doesn;t drain that much on stand by
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
hummm..i though cell standby drain would only occur if mobile data is enabled, no matter the state of wifi. If data is off then the phone is not communicating with the towers then it shouldn't be using much battery.

And your battery stats seem to confirm this.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] razielmcr:
Tonight i'm testing with only LTE on to try :)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] razielmcr:

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
during the night? or day?

And with wifi it was 2% in 8 hrs, correct? (your previois post)

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Guides, News, & Discussio] kezzuki:
so definitely the mobile signal lol At about 1%/hour.

With other phones this may be acceptable but the 9t has a 4000mha battery lol seems the percentage consumption can be lower

I am also in Toronto (Telus). Got the Mi9t about 1.5 weeks ago. My discharge rate with screen off is also about 1%/hour (measured with AccuBattery). I am running stock on latest global rom. The cell standby drain looks like a misnomer to me or possibly combines multiple services behind the scenes. My overall battery life has been excellent, easily going 1.5 days between charges.
