I don't know how to install from exposed there isn't a option to install from internal storage

Sorry for late reply I actually tried a earlier version and it left me soft bricked had to download fastboot firmware and flash using Mi Flash tool. Had to unlock and everything all over again. The lengths we go to for these phones lol
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
You selected flash_all_and_lock.bat. Try flash_all.bat next time.

Some issues on USNF talk about soft bricks too, dev said it was fixed in latest version.

Currently can't test, becuase my phone is hard bricked (don't worry, not because of this. Just stupid mistakes). As far as I remember you need to tap on 3 lines on tge left and search in submenus. Also you can install it from recovery. You should try link I provided

following the steps for the ''safetynet'' goes very well until installing ''Universal SafetyNet Fix'' gets the phone in bootloop, i don´t know why...
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
Hmmmm, weird. Tryfresh install without it, maybe it will work

I don't know what's wrong with magisk I tested safety net with two apps and it passed but in magisk it failedView attachment 5290883View attachment 5290885View attachment 5290887
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
I found a link for Universal safety net fix that works with 9c angelica global link

https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...for-safetynet-cts-profile-failed.59384/page-5 Just scroll down there are many links look at screen shot it's v1.1.2. I also passed safety net using other app magisk is failing
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Have a look at the link I posted it worked for me
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
And if your phone goes into bootloop because of magisk module, just go into custom recovery and delete module. Location is....data/adb/modules

I never knew this made my life a hell of a lot easier lol
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
Thanks for the info! Updated the post.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
@Dawood99 Updated the post, you should try it
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Okay will check it out thanks but the USF v1.1.2 worked for me I'm passing safety test
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
I have a problem. after trying to flash the 9c as per guide, I wanted to format it from the factory settings. The problem that enters me in the pitch recovery (the touch in recovery did not work). So I can't do anything. It doesn't shut down and I can't enter fastboot mode. How can I do? Thank you
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
@sephirot91 Try rebootig to system/fastboot using physical buttons
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
it does not work. this is strange. and the phone does not turn off. it restarts only in the pitch black home. help me
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] MHaseebpk:
Hold power button until phone turn off next hold simultaneously volume down and power button your phone will boot into fastboot mode
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
does not turn off! it just restarts and enters recovery pitch black. how can I do?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
can't I flash it in recovery? i tried with Mipro and flash tools, but i can't
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
no one can help me to recover the phone and flash the stock firmware? thank's
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
@sephirot91 Hold power button for ~15 seconds. When screen goes black, hold power_down button too. Flash stock ROM
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
@0purple thank you, unfortunately I know how fastboot works, but this time it doesn't work. the phone as it had gone into bootloop with pitch recovery. Furthermore, the pc recognizes it as Redmi India. Nothing, I'm still stuck :(
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
A

Are you sure your phone is 9C Angelica? Because this thread is for angelica version and if PC is recognising your phone as 9C India, that could be problem.

You flashed angelica when your phone is cattail. That could explain all your problems.

Also remember when you flash, you must remove Mi Account before you flash otherwise phone will bootloop.

You are going to have to find a way to boot into fastboot and flash stock ROM fastboot version it's +- 3GB download
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
yes it was the right version. i had checked well before trying the root. this problem appeared to me, after returning it to factory conditions. And how can I remove my account if I can't log in to the phone anymore? or do you mean from the pc program? do i have to use sp flash tool, mi pro or what program now having the phone locked on redmi india?

Thank's
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
i find this video tutorial... is it sure? "

Thanls :)
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
Seeing it as Redmi 9 India is fine, that`s the bug of recovery. @sephirot91 could you please explain what problem exactly do you have?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
I had tried driving the root, without success ( because in recovery pitch, the touch doesn t work). Then I wanted to give it away, and I thought about doing a factory data reset. After reboot, the phone only enters recovery pitch, and the touch does not work. moreover it does not turn off, and no longer enters fastboot
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
You should try the video you sent. I actually tried this too when I hard-bricked my phone, but couldn`t enter BROM (more known as EDL) mode. Luckily, I had warranty
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
I also have warrqnty (Amz), but what do I explain? and how can I solve it by contacting support?

Thanks
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
Why not try this guide first?

Can I flash the stock recovery rom now from pitch recovery?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
Yes, just download "Recocery" ROM
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] JoostA:
Nice guide to root the phone! However, for those interested in doing so, it is interesting to know (as is stated in the text) that you have to unlock the boot-loader. In my experience with Samsung phones this isn't difficult, but in the Xiaomi case there is a little surprise: unlocking the boot-loader is a somewhat tedious process, not merely involving just switching on "unlock boot-loader".

To do it first of all you will need an Xiaomi account (as it happens, I had one already) and you have to bind it to your phone to it via mobile internet (alas: not all of us will have mobile internet...). Next you have to download a program to you Windows (!) PC with which you can unlock you phone: http://www.miui.com/unlock/index_en.html. Then the big surprise (at least for me): you have downloaded all your stuff and you are ready to proceed.... But no: when you think you are done, you get the message that you will have to wait another week (7 days) before you can actually unlock you phone. Something you probably might want to know beforehand. There is actually a good FAQ available too explaining all you have to do and what to expect. So I will continue experimenting next week :).
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
If it doesn't flash stock ROM, you could boot phone into fastboot from recovery and flash Fastboot ROM.

It's much bigger than Recovery ROM but will completely reset phone even your recovery will go to stock.

I would recommend this since your current recovery has no touch screen.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Remember

You will flash Fastboot ROM from Mi flash using PC but phone needs to be in Fastboot mode in order to flash using Mi flash
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
No need for MiFlash, just download archive and run flash_all.bat
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
HI! as I explained to you, my phone does not go into fastboot in any way. PitchBlackRecovery is always started...

I am trying to use the mouse to move into recovery. But if I try to install the various roms, the recovery always starts. Maybe I'm wrong in something. Can you help me. The phone has been standing still for 2 months
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
Perhaps this is the problem: if I connect it to the PC, the Redmi 9C phone recognizes it as Redmi 9 IndiaView attachment 5324185
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
From my expierence u can't flash stock ROM using custom recovery, that's why I need to flash Fastboot ROM.

You can access Fastboot mode via recovery, I don't know if u understand what I'm saying.

I'll upload pictures tomorrow morning of how to access Fastboot mode from pitch black recovery.

If your phone can't access Fastboot at all then u pretty much messed. Fastboot is the phone's last line of defence and if it's corrupted then u might as well throw the phone away.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
ah thank you so much. if it doesn't work, I would like to try with the warranty, but as long as the pitch recovery appears I would not send it for repair. good day, see you later
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
I made a videos u can just watch 1st part
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Apparently I broke the matrix trying to upload the video and I don't have Neo number so I'll take pics
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Okay just press on the power button indicated in the picture and it'll take u to the reboot menu. Be careful because there is a button above that, that will take u to a different menu. If that happens just go back and press again.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
U must press reboot bootloader not Fastboot. Watch the video.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
In 10 minutes I'll try. Thank you. :)
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] sephirot91:
it worked! you saved my phone. I used the mouse to click on the option, and it went fastboot! Super Thanks!!! :)
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
I'm glad I could help and I know that feeling of relief. Enjoy it👍and be careful next time when flashing. Make 100% sure and don't rush anything.

Is it possible after rotting this device to add adoptable storage? Using MIUI 12.4 Thank you
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
I have the 64GB version so I haven't tried it since I don't really need it yet. But it should be possible since phone has been rooted.

I have always used Apps2Sd app found on Google play for managing adoptable storage.

U probably know that u have to create 2nd partion right?

Give it a try and let me know, I don't have a SD to try it myself.

how to uninstall the custom recovery to the stock recovery ?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Easy way is to flash fastboot ROM or you can extract recovery.img from fastboot ROM and flash using abd

Hi

I tried exactly according to instructions to root my redmi 9c nfc. unfortunately but I get no further and my phone hangs in fastbook. is there a dummy safe guide?

where can I find the recovery.img or can download?

are the prerequiste to download as 1 file?

thx.

mancomx
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
I don`t get what you mean by stuck in fastboot. The Fastboot logo should appear andd on your PC you need to follow the tutorial.

Tap on the word "download" at the first post

I don`t think I understand you. As I wrote in the guide, you need to unlock the bootloader.

If you don`t know any of these things, I don`t think you should do this. Research a bit first
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] mancomx:

[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] 0purple:
This is not a thread for a questions like this, but yes, you have to wait. If you don`t know any of these things, you better not root your phone
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Guys for any new comers please do your research before hand and try to understand how the process of rooting works. Its basically universal across devices as they ultimately follow the same process. However each device has a unique set of files and a unique set of instructions.

I can understand O purple frustration because you have made zero effort into researching the process, as you are unaware of the 1st step, which is any phone regardless of brand needs an unlocked bootloader for rooting to be possible.

There are many dangers to rooting your phone from soft brick to hard brick. Research is key to progress and the dangers of loosing your phone are very real. Completely bricked and unusable. I'm not trying to put anyone off from rooting but you must understand the dangers involved and that this is a process in which steps must be followed correctly in order to achieve the necessary results.

Rooting is very exciting and gives you better performance and a range of additional customizing to your smartphone. However anyone new to rooting, I would incourage you to do your research and understand the entire process before moving forward.

We are here to help but please you have to do your part as well and you can't expect us to teach you the basics. There are tons of information on Google. Use these resources to your advantage and don't get over excited, be patient with rooting and follow the instructions closely.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Daninovandi:
Root
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] cupes:
Probably in many case, we can force another devices driver to our spesific device.

In other words, when we have redmi 9c phone we can force installing redmi note 8 driver to windows and then device manager showed up wrong devices.

Proving method is going to devices properties in devices manager, and look at hardware PID_****&VID_**** then check those values in google or compare it with same device.

The easy methode just uninstall driver first and install again.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] LiaFourté:
so apparently, the miui 12.0.10 indonesia is so damn hard to root. it just stays in logo and repeats the same thing all over and over again once the boot image gets modified. i tried flashing magisk on recovery in which your steps indicated and i also tried flashing patched boot image and none of them works, i assume i get bootloops although i can still install custom recoveries like pbrp. It's just weird.

PS: i switched to indonesian version because i dont like google apps replacing xiaomi apps like MIUI Dialer, Messages, Contacts and Browser. Indonesia ROM comes with its own MIUI apps unlike Global, which comes with google apps.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
@0purple

Good day! I have followed your guide step by step and it was going smoothly until I got step 10 and cannot install what needs to be installed because of the issue I am facing

I managed to boot PBRB but when I went to "Install" section, all my storage files names have turned gibberish this is also the same when I look at it from the file manager at my PC. It goes back to normal when I reboot back to system.

If you haven't encountered this and need further details about this issue I can provide some screen shots

hoping for a reply soon

EDIT: This is my 1st time owning a Xiaomi phone and I have no idea how to boot custom recovery aside from the time I followed your guide. Would like to know how to by myself.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
I have encountered the same problem and it's PBRB that's the problem.

What I do is load files onto USB and use OTG to flash. You just need to change storage to OTG. Also make sure USB and OTG is connected before you boot into recovery, otherwise it won't pick it up
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
Thank you for replying!

Tho I expected a reply tomorrow, I really appreciate this.

Forgive me but even tho I've used android for 9 years now I've barely explored the complex side of it soon I honestly don't know most of the terminologies you suggested to me just now so my question for now is:

> By "load files into USB" did you mean loading them in desktop? If not, I'd like to know.

>What is OTG and how do I exactly "change storage to OTG"

>How do I "connect USB and OTG"

>I'm still wondering, how do I re-open PBRB on my phone without having to repeat the steps? It only takes me to the default recovery menu and I only manage to get back to PBRB by repeating the cmd steps up to the recovery portion

I honestly appreciate the reply and would do again for another. I apologize if this is too much asking
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Lol okay nah I understand

By USB I mean a USB drive, load the files on there via desktop, just get all your files on the USB drive

OTG cable is a device that is used to connect a USB drive to your phone, you'll need to buy one but there are relatively cheap.

In order to boot into recovery switch off the phone. Now switch back on by holding the volume up and power button, keep holding volume up until you see it boot into recovery.

When in recovery go to install and you will see that it's currently on internal storage. Touch that option and you will see it gives you a couple of options. You can also use a SD card, then there is no need for a USB drive and OTG cable
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
I forgot to mention but when I also try to do the recovery boot key combination (power + vol up) it still takes me to default xiaomi recovery instead of PBRB for some reason.

About the other thing, so in other words, do I just transfer the files I need to install via PBRB onto the USB/Sd card?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
You must extract stock boot.img from stock ROM and patch that boot.img using magisk.

Just Google redmi 9c recovery stock ROM and you'll get a couple of links. Recovery ROM will be in zip, so you can just check through folders and find boot.img

Download magisk app and there will be option to patch boot.img. So just copy that boot.img to your phone after you have extracted it and patch using magisk.

After boot.img has been patched then copy it back to pc.

Now follow the usual steps:

1st flash recovery

fastboot flash recovery 'name of recovery'.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Then flash boot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This should fix the problem of recovery not loading after restarting
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Yes, even if you want to flash custom ROM, just load onto SD card and flash
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
You have no idea how thankful I am for this!

I'm looking to try this out probably tomorrow since I basically consumed all my available time of the day trying to follow and understand root guides. Will give you an update on how it goes. I wouldn't want you to feel like talking to a brick wall so that's all for the day!

Again, I appreciate the help.

EDIT: I'll have to bear this phone without all my files for now since I started the day with unlocking boot loader and installing ADB/Fastboot tools
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
No problems friend, we all started out knowing nothing about rooting, but you'll learn quick once you get the basics down. Making mistakes is all part of the learning process. That's why we are here to help.

Yeah I know that's the part I don't like about rooting copying all your files to PC and back to phone. It takes so much time😫but we always back up, always.

So yes rather copy all your files back when you are completely done with the root.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
About to continue my quest to rooting this phone later and I was just wondering last night; other than booting PBRB properly, could these steps you suggested to me concerning stock ROM might also fix the gibbered file names issue with PBRB? If not then I guess I'll have to proceed with the SD card/USB method that you showed me.

Also about this step "Then flash boot" did you mean just type "flash boot" in cmd?

EDIT: I have also checked links for Redmi 9c stock ROM and have seen several links just as you said, but I'm not sure which one to pick as it seems there are different Redmi 9c versions for certain regions.
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
You must choose the region of ROM which you are using, if you are using Global then download global

Check about phone in settings for details
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
Gotcha. I just downloaded the zip file and planning to continue all of this tomorrow.

I also checked the zip file itself to make sure it has the "boot.img" you were referring to but I also found a "vbmeta.img". Do I use that img file for the vbmeta flash in this step or do I use the one I already got from the original post?
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] Dawood99:
Use the one you got from the original post.

The only file you will use is boot.img and you will patch that using magisk on your phone
[Redmi 9C Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredforce:
Oh, okay thanks!

About this:

"Download magisk app and there will be option to patch boot.img. So just copy that boot.img to your phone after you have extracted it and patch using magisk.

After boot.img has been patched then copy it back to pc.

Now follow the usual steps:

1st flash recovery

fastboot flash recovery 'name of recovery'.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Then flash boot

fastboot flash boot boot.img"

So I did the steps you instructed here and patched the boot.img file I extracted from the ROM zip file. I'm assuming I'm going to flash THAT img file that magisk made; do I rename it so I can do the "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?

EDIT: To clarify, do I flash the boot.img that I extracted from the ROM zip or do I flash the img file that magisk made after patching and just rename it to "boot.img"?
