Cannot really tell as I'm not expert in measuring traffic data on mobile.

As far as I remember the last time when I root, it took less than 2 minutes between when device asked me to start the Sim card data service+switch off WiFi and complete.

You might borrow friends Sim card for this process just quickly 2 minutes time.

Thank you very much.

I might misreading your question so that what I'm saying below may be false.

When device is on as you usually use daily, is it possible to USB plug-in and start from desktop computer from the sdk adb platform folder starts command: adb fastboot reboot bootloader?

I remember I did this to turn phone from normal screen status into the bootloader page where the little green Xiaomi doll is.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your reply. I tried that and another couple of adb commands, but i always end up with "error: no devices/emulators found" from the powershell
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] eeeemc:
Desktop / Platform tool folder / hold keyboard shift key + right click mouse / choose open power shell ( This pretty much you have been doing )

visit this page to look up from this page ensure your DEVICE setting are corect

https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-redmi-note-9-pro/

once you are in the BLUE COLOR power shell window in your desktop, type:

adb devices

you must see something line this:

list of devices atach

xxxxxxxxxx <------------- you must see this series number as this is your device. so that if you can see this row of number, you device is confirmed communicating with the power shell command window waiting for receiving command.

type:

adb reboot bootloader

( This is whet you are looking for , you said the vol down key + power button don't work from your device , this adb command is the same thing to make device into bootloader mode )

Look at your phone to see if pops-up something then --> choose accept in device.

If problem, type adb kill-server and try again --> adb reboot bootloader

If you are luck done all that without issue, you can type

fastboot reboot.

Device gets back to normal stage

Oh god thank you so much for the time! But.. i have bad news: i tried multiple times these steps: bootloader was unlocked succesfully (i went that far) and it is showing too when i try to turn on the phone (it starts with the usual "Redmi" logo and the "unlocked" pops at the bottom of the screen).

Problem is, the phone goes only that far and then it turns off (as mentioned previously download/fastboot mode do not work, it looks like is not recognizing the volume buttons commands). The phone just turns on for a couple of seconds then off again, making it not communicating with the pc (i tried to spam the adb devices and adb reboot bootloader while it was temporarly on without success, so no fastboot no fix i believe).

Is this the definition of "bricked"? I rooted many phones back in the days and never had any issue, this xiaomi is making me crazy.

Again, thank you for the help!

Hope that's not a sign of a brick loop ( but it looks alike according to your described that you can't even start-up device to see it's normal screen status ........... )

Sorry to hear that and you see if other members here can help you out Or , you search the net solution to you situation.

At last , I have a internet friend ( who might not be able to overcome your situation ) but he need to charge a small fees for unbrick.

can you help me what is this option for \$fastboot -s .* lock

It is in MiFlash Pro configuration

it is by default if i delete it what happens

I downgraded from 11.0.9.0 to 11.0.7.0 and if it did

but it gave error: no flash possible

I did this because root with magisk did not work 100%

if you did root (verified with root checker)

but SDMaid Pro and Root Explorer are not 100%

they do not allow me to delete apps from google (maps chrome gmail etc) and if they have superuser rights

Thanks for the help

After root you can still do updates?
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] lolo9393:
Stay on 11.09 it's a good release.

Nothing to do with Magisk.

Install Magisk via TWRP (install root option) and update it via manager.

Then give root to file explorer.

Make your needed modification and before reboot to system delete root rights and order to get the dynamic partition going well.

How are we supposed to apply official MIUI rom updates with this? when i try to update from the settings update page, it tells me to reboot... Which i do. Then it loads into TWRP. If i try to update as i would with patching magisk, it just gives me an error.

I'm not really running into any issues(though the BT controls seem to be broken with the official rom. my earbuds cant adjust the volume on the phone, and my miband 4 wont see my music playing at all) but i'm kinda annoyed with the pop up telling me to update in my notification that i cant really slide away.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Guides, ] wolfield:
This method WOULD NOT GIVE YOU FULL ROOT access! You need to flash Magisk through TWRP recovery to be able to change permissions, edit and delete system files.

Also this method WILL BRICK Redmi 9 phone on MTK. The title is misleading. The chances of getting a complete brick are very high for Redmi 9 devices.

This method works with 9S and 9 Pro ONLY.

Assuming you have the Redmi Note 9 Pro (EU) (

Allright, now I have a question of my own, the latest MIUI update has been rolled out to my device. My device is rooted as per the guide in the OP, Joyeuse version.

Can I take this update via OTA or do I have to reflash the stock boot.img from 11.0.03.0 before I take this OTA?

Thanks and regards from the Netherlands!

https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.4.0...AGlobal_V11.0.4.0.QJZEUXM_fd5baa5f96_10.0.zip

Okay, for the ones in the same situation I've managed to install the OTA without bricking / bootlooping etc. The way I've managed it is described below. Prerequisite: rooted phone with stock MIUI and stock recovery)

I cannnot stress enough that using this guide is at your own risk. Triple check the firmware files you download because if you **** up with a firmware for a different mainboard you can potentially hard brick the device.

1) Download the full ROM update from: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900378

2) Open the ZIP file and extract the boot.img file, transfer it to your phone / SD card.

3) Open Magisk manager and select install (source). Point Magisk to the boot.img you've just transferred to your device and patch the boot. Magisk will create the patched boot in /0/download.

4) Transfer the patched boot image to your PC preferably in the same directory where you keep your ADB toolkit, we'll need to flash this file later.

5) Now back in Magisk manager select uninstall at the bottom and select "Restore Images". (source) This will restore the system so that no security checks will be tripped during the OTA.

6) Download and install the OTA. Let the device reboot when it needs to.

7) As soon as the device has started (which took a while in my case) you can plug in the USB cable in your PC, (administrator CMD window) and type: abd reboot bootloader. The device will enter fastboot with the communist bunny :P.

8) Now you can flash the patched boot file which was created in step 3 and 4. Type: fastboot flash boot YOUR_MAGISK_PATCHED_BOOT.img

9) When the flashing has completed type: fastboot reboot

And your phone is up to date and rooted again.

Regards,

Thijs

You screen literally says what you still have to do, but in all honesty it wasn't really clear to me at first too.

Have you enabled the development options yet? In that menu there is an unlock switch (OEM unlock) which needs to be set, the phone will prompt you with something about your MI account. Accept that and then try again.

Here is a video describing the process. You will need an activated sim card for starting the unlock process. As soon as your unlock tool shows the wait time you can put the sim back in your other phone.

You can not "mod" as in the past with new dynamic partition scheme.

Only solution is via rooted file explorer and removing the root rights before any reboot to avoid messing partitions.

You are forced to install Magisk (Can be done from TWRP/advanced tab/root) and Magisk manager apk (not available at Play store, get it from Google search)

Once all that is done you give Super SU right to your file explorer and do what you want with in the root directory.

Be carefull.

When you have finished don't forget to disable super SU ...

On Curtuna and 11.0.10 EU rom it is no more needed but it a simple safety.
