[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
not sure to understand, you tried with MIUI and without waiting for finalization you installed hyerOS and started again, is that it?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] tagicmi:
im tried with miui and without finilization installed hyperos and after the timer ended, it gave this error and now I want to run it again, only under HyperOS

Disconnect from the Xiaomi account on the phone without saving anything then delete your device here:

Xiaomi Cloud

Sync your contacts, messages, photos, notes, and other items with Xiaomi Cloud to be able to access them from all connected devices. Use Find device to locate or remotely erase data on your device if it's lost.

us.i.mi.com

restart the phone and try the method for hyperOS.

If the same, do a factory reset.

i tried with another account and i got quota error but i have this error before xiaomi servers restarting how to fix?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
Just wait until it is past midnight Chinese time as mentioned in the link.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ext23:
I just got a Redmi Note 12 Turbo with the China ROM. It's still on MIUI but I have an update available for HyperOS.

I was screwing around with my old phone and maxed out my monthly allowance of bootloader unlocks using Mi Flash.

If I update to HyperOS, will I be able to skip the wait?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
If you stay on Miui, you will have 168 hours of waiting on average before finalization (maybe less, maybe more) and as you have a CN device ,with hyperOS it will perhaps be longer and the method is more complicated.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ext23:
It says "monthly allowance." Wouldn't that mean 30 days?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
Where do you see this?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ext23:
Sorry, I got the wording slightly wrong.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
This has nothing to do with the unlocking methods.

Apparently you have already unlocked devices with this account and exceeded the quota for this month.

Create a new account without forgetting to delete the device of the old account.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ext23:
OK. Just out of curiosity though, what is the monthly limit? Does it take a whole month, or does it reset on the 1st?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] NOSS8:
The account with Miui is limited to 1 device per month and 4 different devices per year.

With hyperOS, it's 3 devices.

Normally it is at 1st midnight Chinese time.

If you want to delete the account, it's here:

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] ext23:
That's not exactly what I was asking, but thanks all the same. I made a new account and now only have to wait one week.

By the way, I only unlocked one device this month (my old Poco F3) but I had to do it a few times because I was flashing and reflashing. It's weird that even though they say "one device per month," you can't unlock the same device multiple times per month.

Hello everybody

What is the best/safest/stable way to unlock the bootloader and flash Lineage OS on F5 nowadays?

Also, are there any other more robust, secure, bloat-free, and smallest-size possible alternatives to Lineage OS?

And the last one, Lineage OS has an auto-update function, right? So I won't have to flash updates and security patches manually

Good morning to everyone in the community I want to share with my experience that worked After months of searching for a process to unlock the Bootloader of my Redmi Note 12 Turbo without success and without needing a paid service I found an unlocking tutorial that worked on the Chinese RN12T With HyperOS CN Rom I hope everyone is successful I will leave the video link and in this video you will find the php file and the apk system for updating After running Miunlook, I received 360 hours to return the release process, as I already had a request made in the community, I believe.

Hi guys,

actually i had using the EU rom, but facing difficulty with the banking apps, cuz it said rooted. so i have no choice and don't want to be fussy and go back to china rom, til then suddenly i needed the google maps history location, and found out need to rooted to use magisk to make it happen again.

so i came to find a solution again, seems like no choices still need to root and go for god sake of china rom and rules by the country.

so may i know again.

poco f5 global rom can use on red mi 12 turbo ?? if root to go global rom (meaning i cant lock bootloot on poco rom right?) and my banking apps still going to be problem again?

kinda old for this root-root thing.

never did far research when i buy the phone, poison by the cheap and good for your bang , brought the phone and next week poco f5 release.. and realise i got a china rom due to this spec are not yet global release. :(

Hi, i have problem, mi flash dont see phone in fastboot mode, i have usb drivers and adb, any advice how to make miflsh see phone?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] senerex:
I’ll assume that in your device you have checked "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" as per point A.4. in post #1 of this AiO. If yes, then check if your computer recognises your device at all. How to do this? Go to the folder where you have put the "ADB and Fastboot" and open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right Click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here". Now connect your device (in fastboot mode) to your computer and please try to use the original cable if possible (it helps). Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot devices<<. If you don't see your device it means that the drivers weren't installed properly or the device wasn't connected properly. If you see your device, then you can clean install directly (no mi flash tool needed) the new fastboot rom as per point H. in post #1 of this of this AiO.

I flashed my note 12 turbo with global rom and I have problem with my network , it is not stable it says no network available when I call. How do I solve this issue?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] senerex:
Some limited number of Note 12 Turbo users (depending on the country/carrier) are facing the same problems with network signal when flashing "miui global" or "xiaomi.eu" roms. This problem seems to be caused by the modem. I hope Xiaomi will soon remove this problem in one of the future updates of Note 12 Turbo.

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] senerex:
Actually in Point H is exactly explained what you can do and hence you can choose one of the 3 options:

a. “flash_all.bat" (if you want to make a clean install but keep the bootloader unlocked).

b. “flash_all_except_storage" (if you want to make a clean install but keep your data and maintain the bootloader unlocked).

c. “flash_all_lock" (if you want to make a clean install and lock the bootloader).
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] t1nengos:
I understand but My phone is from China and I flashed it with global rom but network problem so i want to go back to original rom which is China rom. is it necessary to lock bootloader or i can flash china firmware and leave it unlocked?

ok let me try it again real simple: download china rom, and execute one of the 3 options (a., b. or c.) in point H.

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] m0han:
CMIIW, but I suppose (a.) and (c.) are steps that entail 'data wipe' also (in the 'format data' mode?). If so, maybe you can specify 'clean install

Do I always need an updated patched_boot.img file?
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] senerex:
Assuming that you are updating to the latest rom, then yes of course, and please use always the latest "boot.img", patch it and flash it.
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] xmsjshou:
Because you rooted your device. I do not recommend you wipe back to the Chinese version Rom.

An easy way to use the EU Rom with banking APPs is to install Magisk hiding modules. I've been using "Shamiko", an open-source module on GitHub. It's so easy to hide the root from APPs using Shamiko. Lots of guides you can find for it. :D

Hello. I'm going to follow the procedure from 1st post in this thread (on Redmi Note 12 4G) and I want to be absolutely fully prepared. But I dont know where to find any custom ROM. Can you please help and point it? I remember the old days where life was easier, rooting procedure on phones (before so called SMARTphone era) was much easier. Also there were topics with a lot of pictures how the chosen ROM looks like and you could find anything that suits for yourself.

Now in these days I'm confused and honestly I dont know where/how to start the whole process, I only hope that instruction in this topic will lead me well. I feel like a dummy these days.

Or, maybe is there any "generator" that helps dummies like me to create my own ROM by choosing what I want to have and what I dont? I mean all those custom ROMs have to be created somehow, step by step, right?

Try this:
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] sm00th4f3:
For fastboot, download the platform tools from google. Open cmd and use "cd path" , replace path with your windows explorer path to the platform tools folder. For example "cd C:\Users\username\Downloads\platform-tools_r34.0.4-windows".

That way the command prompt will be able to run commands like:

fastboot devices, fastboot boot recovery.img ,etc.

For Flashing recovery, copy the img inside the platform tools folder, for it to work.

For the mi driver, connect your phone while it is powered on normally, not fastboot. Download the official mi unlock zip file. Unzip it and open MiUsbDriver.exe. It will install the needed drivers.

Update 1 week later: I can confirm this way I was able to unlock the bootloader

In my case, I'm located in EU and was facing this same issue.

In my phone I logged in into my MI account using my email address, not my phone number. Once logged in, my phone shows correctly in the MI account.

In the Mi Unlock tool, I logged into using my email address.

When asked to verify the device in the Mi Unlock tool, I selected sending a SMS to my phone.

-> The result is I got stuck in that 99% progress with no error message.

The next time I logged into Mi Unlock tool with my phone number, and verifying sending a code to my email address.

-> In this case I got stuck at 50% "Verifying device"

Finally, I tried logging into Mi Unlock tool with my email, and verifying sending the code to my email address too.

-> With this combination I got the message to wait for 168 hours until the device could be unlocked.

The wait sucks, but at least that seems to be a way to unblock the phone. Hope I can confirm this method works in a week.

Hello Everyone!

I need help or advice. I’m facing a very strange issue. I’ve succeeded all of the steps above except revert to factory. Everything (seems to) goes normal, but phone stays in Fastboot mode, no automatic reboot. When I force turn off, then reboots to Fastboot mode only. I tried flash_all and flash_all_except_storage in factory fastboot rom but none of them worked. I can only reflash xiaomi.eu rom (mutiple times already), which works normal. What do I miss? Thank you!

Edit:

Seems solved: I used outdated r28 fastboot. With r34.0.4 I was able to flash 14.0.6.0.TMRMIXM and 14.0.4.0.TMRTWXM fastboot roms. 14.0.5.0.TMRTWXM was not worked for me.

2) If the answer to question 1 is yes, will I loose root when the OTA update installs? Or does it "survive" incremental updates?
