Can´t you flash TWRP? Or can´t you flash a custom ROM? as the tittle in the forum says. Provide screenshots.

What is the recommended twrp version for the Note 11 on Android 11? Looks like not everyone is familiar with the issue that the latest twrp versions don't work on A11 phones.

At which part of the process does it erase your data? Before or after the 7 days? Are there any risks? (on my last phone, Moto G7 Power, after some failed attempts my SIM/IMEI became unusable)
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] SubwayChamp:
After the 7 days (168 hrs), you started the process to unlock bootloader, you'll be able to do it, and after that you unlock the bootloader, the process does format data automatically. From all the numerous Xiaomi devices I owned, I never experienced those things; failed attempts nor loosing IMEI.

[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] SubwayChamp:
It seems, there is no custom ROMs for your device, you may stick to a GSI instead. This is from a quick (not extensive) search.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Hyoretsu:
If I try to unlock bootloader again before the 7-day period ends, will it say how many hours I have left or re-start the counter?

EDIT: For anyone out there, it doesn't mess up the process.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] SubwayChamp:
Unless you sign out or format data.

No problem. The process takes place outside of your handy.
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] Lister Of Smeg:
Dear All,

Although contempt with the stock experience, I am tempted to register for bootloader to be unlocked. As I heard from a couple of sources that Xiaomi are planning on closing this window soon-ish. So want to register for it, even if I don't use it straight away. However, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.

1) Apparently I need a Mi account, and that it must be registered via USA region/language. Can I create this account on the phone itself, or do I have to sign into the web also to do it...?

2) If I create a Mi account on the phone, and sign into that account. Does it wipe any of my data thinking it's a new user? As currently I've just got my Google account on the phone.

3) If / when creating the Mi account on the phone, as part of the process to request unlock of Bootloader. I heard it can take 7x days or so for it to go through. By requesting and once authorized, does it remotely unlock the bootloader or do I have to tap anything and wait, for the bootloader to become unlocked?

Basically, what I am getting at here... is I need time (which I have little of at moment) to backup my data, and so only want to register interest/have it confirmed server side and don't actually want to unlock the bootloader straight away. Just when I do have time, I know that its all set and ready to go... or is part of the process in requesting, you have to trigger it by going through unlocking process and wait ??

4) Once the bootloader is unlocked, it remains unlocked all the time you are using custom roms. There is no way it will re-lock itself unless you physically ask it too. If you do lock it, you have to go through the process (request again?) or does it automatically unlock again?

As I heard going back to stock rom, re-locks the bootloader...?

5) I've read lately about Arb / AntiRoll Back, which didn't seem to be an issue in the early days of roms. But now there are a couple of Android 14 roms out there, once you go up to these roms... you cannot return back to stock ?? As they are Arb0 and A14 roms are Arb1 ? Is there custom rom out there, based on stock that can be flashed by twrp ?

What are the downsides of unlocking/custom romming on Xiaomi....?? Does it break security permentently, such as banking apps... like Knox does on Samsung??

I used to do a lot or custom romming/rooting in the past on various devices (ZTE, HP, Samsung, Amazon to name a few), but security was much weaker than, and most could be reset without permentant damage... such as with Triangle Away.

Many thanks, Lister
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] LolFlasherNoob:
So friend , here you have a long list of questions which I would be glad to answer if it helps you out .

In your settings app , there is a mi account option somewhere in the main dashboard. You can create the account from there . And no , you don't need to sign in on the web . Well you do need to sign in the MI Unlock Tool with the same account which you created on your phone earlier.

No , creating an account does not wipe your data or anything as such . It creates a random but once created permanent ID for your phone which is used to unlock the bootloader.

Once you request to unlock the bootloader and your request is granted within 1-2 weeks , 2 weeks in my case , after the given period of time while unlocking you may attempt again to unlock which should unlock your device , your phone ONLY recieves the Authorization to unlock and re-lock the bootloader as per your wish , as many times and the Phone's ID is associated with the account signed in on the phone and the MI Unlock Tool . Now , your phone's bootloader will remain locked and use MUST use the MI Unlock Tool to unlock it which will wipe the data . But the same tool cannot be used to re-lock it. Whenever you download a stock fastboot rom , you get three .bat files , flash_all.bat which flashes the rom without locking the bootloader and wipes all your data , flash_all_lock.bat which re-locks the bootloader and wipes all the data , flash_all_except_data.bat which flashes the rom without wiping your data , this can be useful if you were on version foo of MIUI 13 and you got your device bricked , now you can unbrick it by using this flash_all_except_data.bat ONLY if you have the EXACT stock fastboot rom which you were using earlier.

Once the bootloader is locked , you can unlock it without having to wait by the same method you unlocked it earlier.

As for Arb , I don't think it would be an issue if you remove the Arb lines in the fastboot stock rom flashing .bat file . I am not sure tho.

No such downgrades of having custom roms , they are cleaner , faster and fluid . Well I haven't tested with the new Mi680 kernel lately but they should have a upper hand in general usage performance than Xiaomi . The only downgrade could be the hassle to update using twrp as it is not as easy as clicking on update button in MIUI.

Banking apps won't break unless you use magisk or ksu.

Hello, i'm only starting to gather info about my Redmi Note 11 NFC (spesn) i think

Two quick question, there is no way to unlock bootloader without windows?

And is universal android debloater a good alternative to a custom ROM? i also wonder about banking apps, and considering my options..

Also as i have no experience with this phone, Do i need a separate sdcard, or can i install custom roms from internal storage?

Thx

Thanks for your posts @James_patageul

I still haven't dared flash my phone, i have only unlocked the bootloader, and been reading about the xiaomi.eu hyperOS that is now released for the redmi note 11.

This arb thing adds another scary layer to it all.

But right now my primary question is, if i install TWRP, and don't have any external sd card, can i take a backup of the original ROM into internal storage before i do anything, and restore that if something goes wrong?

Also from my understanding, the xiaomi.eu rom's have the best battery life, since the maintainers focus on xiaomi devices, as opposed to more general rom's, like crdroid.

So i'm wondering if installing a xiaomi.eu hyperOS rom, and then removing all google code using 'universal android debloater' is a viable option?

Thx for any tips
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] postafoa:
well i just tried UAD, and it results in a bootloop even when only disabling 'recommended'

only remedy is 'wipe all data', and then start all over again

what a pain.. what to do next

Edit: Managed to install crDroid (with crDroid recovery, no TWRP/ofox for now), but it was very stressfull, as the instructions in the crDroid thread are totally useless.. Managed to somewhat document the install process in that thread..

crDroid seems really nice though.. Next up will be rooting, and then attempting to run banking apps on a rooted device.. time will tell...
[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] kalhiro:
To be safe...

Before removing any system xiaomi app , logout from mi account first.

in many case that's the reason for bootloop.

[OnePlus 9] DuongNguyenVN:
I have a T-Mobile OP 9 (LE2117) with software: LE2117_11_C.20

I wonder if anyone has successfully converted it to a dual SIM and works properly. Some people have failed midway and it turns their phone into brick so I felt quite afraid when doing it without any instruction.

Can we just install an AOSP ROM (such as Nameless, crDroid, ...) and it would get 2 sims functional without touching the firmware?

I need your help

Thanks,

somebody told me you guys are already working on this??? is there a rom to try? :D

i'm sooooo tired of WM6... i want a HUMAN interface to phone/pda functions...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I have the factory unlocked 7 Pro and I saw some people say that it doesn't but I just decided to try it. If you disable the pSIM, you can run two eSIMs at the same time. The first try it seemed confused and asked me if I wanted to enable my pSIM then the settings window froze when I hit cancel instead of yes. I swiped it away and tried again and I'm now running dual eSIM!

This is extremely useful for me because I had to convert my Tello pSIM to eSIM in order to fix my 5G (Tello provisioning issue, not a phone issue) but I don't want to always be using my physical SafeLink SIM.

I fall in love with this phone more every day. View attachment 5738227
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] diesteldorf:
Are there any apps available that will let you know which Carrier you are using?

I am assuming that if you were in an area with weak Verizon coverage, that your phone would utilize Tello and vice Versa.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Tello is set as the default for calls and texts, Verizon for data, and Tello is set to automatically use wifi calling over Verizon when the signal is weak.

View attachment 5738233

This is awesome for me because I can park my Tello number that has 2FA for services that don't yet offer TOTP for $5 a month and then get whatever data SIM has the best deal as the other eSIM while having my SafeLink AT&T pSIM in the phone for an emergency backup. No worries about losing my phone number porting it all over the place.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] grangermoch:
Heck yeah! I just got my eSIM activated for Dual SIM as well. Unfortunately, it took 3 hours on the call with Verizon and multiple support tier escalations to get it done - not sure why it was so challenging for them.

In my case, both my physical SIM and the eSIM are on Verizon (but separate Verizon accounts - one I use for work and one for personal).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah but you can do dual eSIM now and have your SIM slot free for something else too and switch between the second eSIM or pSIM is my point. It opens up a whole lot of flexibility that wasn't there previously.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] grangermoch:
Ahhh I missed that part. I didn't realize there were two eSIMs, thanks!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah it's pretty cool. Like this pops up when I try to enable my pSIM.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
So you have a Tracfone (Verizon) esim working on this phone? I can't get my Tracfone psim working on this phone (still works with my Pixel 6 Pro though). Spoke to Tracfone for 3 hrs with no luck. Even got a new psim. For the last 3 days I've been communicating with Google support. They said they escalated the issue.

In the meantime I got a Mint Mobile account and am using one of their esims just fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I have a SafeLink pSIM that the phone thinks is TracFone since they're the same company. My pSIM is on AT&T though because I refuse to switch to Verizon for it.

The two eSIMs are US Mobile (labeled Verizon by the phone and uses their network) and Tello (T-Mobile network).

I can run any combo as long as it's only 2 active at a time. The phone prompts me which one to use for data and sets the other as the default for calls and texts. They're both active and I have done test calls to each from my Google Voice and both ring - switching which to use for a text is a simple matter of tapping this indicator and choosing.

View attachment 5738263
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Just to check, you have used the BYOD link on this page?

https://www.tracfone.com/activation

TracFone customer service was already lacking before Verizon bought them and has only gotten worse but usually their automated tools work well enough.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Ah, ok. Slightly different circumstances then. Yeah, I was very hesitant in switching over to the Verizon sim (was on AT&T) but all those text messages urging me to switch over just made me rip the Band-Aid off, lol.

On a side note, couldn't be happier with Mint Mobile on the T-Mobile Network. Got around 850 mbps download on it compared to maybe a little bit over 100, on a good day, with Tracfone in the same spot.

It is pretty nice we can use 2 eSims now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yep, did that. I've been so frustrated with Tracfone over the years. Hours and hours talking to customer service and each time they transfer me to a "higher up" I get hung up on because their system is broken. I mean, literally each time. But yeah, with Verizon its gotten worse for sure.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I am sticking with AT&T until they force me off. Verizon is the worst here. The US Mobile SIM was just so I could see if eSIM worked lol, no chance I'll keep it after the 10 day trial.

T-Mobile is indeed excellent in so many areas. I've never seen higher than 560 but hey, 300Mbps during peak time is incredible when Verizon is running around 1Mbps at the same time and AT&T is around 50Mbps.

That sucks. I would have figured that Verizon would only have one whitelist for all the MVNOs. Like my Pixel 7 Pro activated on US Mobile because despite being an unlocked model, it has mmWave, so Verizon added support right away while the unlocked Pixel 7s aren't supported and nobody knows when they will be.

The whole whitelist thing just irritates me period though. If my phone doesn't work, that's my problem, but don't take away the option for me to even try it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
This is very interesting, I have a Vodafone eSIM and a pSIM (2 different numbers, one for work and personal), I got a keepgo esim but I can't get both eSIMs activated at the same time, though. It says: Only one downloaded SIM can be active at a time. @EtherealRemnant What firmware are you using? 031?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yes, 031.

I wonder if it's region specific?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Maybe, yes. I can get the psim and any esim at the same time but 2 esims don't work, unfortunately.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
That sucks. Hopefully they roll it out everywhere.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Yep, I will try to ask Google One support to check why it doesnt work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Interesting, just found this:

Does Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro support dual eSIM? Find Now!

Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are expected to receive updates for dual eSIM support by 2023. Here is everything you need to know about it.

www.ytechb.com

Linked the wrong article, that's the one saying it's not to be launched until 2023, all speculation anyway but might also be non compatible for now in some places.

On a chat with Google, will update this post as soon as I know more.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Man I hope it doesn't stop working. I'll be so upset lol.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Hehe, don't worry, I won't mention where I saw it and on which network, just found it odd it didn't work here :)

Google Support was useless:

"I completely understand your point here. However, we do not have an option to use 2esims on the same device. We really wish we had an option to help you with this."
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I mean if it's a bug that let me access it, they could patch it in an upcoming update. Remember, to get it working, I had an eSIM and pSIM on, disabled the pSIM, tried to enable the second eSIM, it tried to reactivate my pSIM and then froze when I hit cancel to leave it off. When I went back in the menu after I swiped it away, I was then able to enable the second eSIM. It's very well possible this was a bug.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Understand but I don't really think the person I was talking to undertood exactly what I was asking about.

But anyway, maybe it was not supposed to work now but I believe it's feasible/doable (seeing you have it working on your side) and it will come soon.

how's the battery with dual sim? I had terrible battery on my pixel 6 pro when using dual sim
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Seems fine to me. 0.6%/hr to 0.7%/hr for the last two days. My OnePlus 9 with single SIM on 5G standby was twice+ that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] saiiint:
In EU this has been patched already or its not working. Whenever i want to turn on second esim it pop the window that only 1 esim at a time can be used and should i switch to the one i wanted.

2 e-sims will drain your battery like crazy, i deactivated my 2nd sim and used call forwarding because it literally cut my battery life in half.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Do you also have 2 esims working at the same time? Are you in the US or somewhere else?

I can't have 2 esims at the same time but I have the pain and 1 esim and I don't have any issues with battery life.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shebee:
Doesn't work for me either in the EU, that same pop-up appears when activating.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] The Graphic:
no one e-sim and 1 nano sim, and my battery life was terrible, i almost returned the phone. After i deactivated the e-sim and just kept the nano sim my battery life became really good.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Interesting but this looks like something with your signal to the 2nd carrier , I have 2 Sims and my battery life does really well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] The Graphic:
i have the same carrier for both sims, so i don't think that should be the problem to be honest. and i could see that the connection for both was the same.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Nah, it's been fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ducter:
I've used 2 sims for years with OnePlus devices. Originally 2 physical sims on TMobile, 1 for work and 1 for personal. Swapped to 1 physical and 1 esim in my note 20, carried same setup to various phones all without negative battery impact. I'll be looking forward to dual esims as unless it's just coincidence, I get better service with the esim even though the same network.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] justDave:
Pixel 7 does not support dual eSIM anymore. It's been removed. Google tech support says it was never supported.

(Yes. I know it was working a month ago but here we are.)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I could have sworn I had a discussion with someone about this in this very thread but yes, I lost the ability as well. Unfortunately since I was using pSIM + eSIM for so long, I don't know how long it has been since it stopped working. I stopped messing with it since every time my pSIM got disabled, it disappeared from the phone.
