        @0xinit69 The model no: M2003J15SI is not common. It takes it to the Redmi Note 9, but is not listed in device specs on GSM arena or phonemore. The "I" at the end may indicate an Indian variant.

              @Vlad-Nirky I think we have stumbled on an anomaly here. I was leaning towards the 10x 4G, but apparently that is sold in China only, but gives an Indian variant......🤔

                @MrT10001 Afaik, both are same, since twrp of 10x 4g works on note 9, codenames are same (merlin).
                @Vlad-Nirky I will try the rom you gave tmrw mrng (its 12:00 AM here)
                Thanks for the response.
                I'm downloading this

                  @0xinit69 I have two Chinese versions of Xiaomi phones that the unlock tool won't allow me to unlock the bootloader.. I am working on a way round... I hope @Vlad-Nirky solution works for you.

                    @MrT10001 are they mediatek phones. If yes then this will help you (beware that this works on only old xiaomi mediatek devices)

                      This doesn't work. it causes infinite bootloop part of the reason why is nv data is corrupted. Can rewriting nvdata with mauimeta fix it?. I'll try it.

                        Rewriting doesn't work.
                        It is now bricked except for engineering rom which is unusable except for testing purposes

                          Sad to read that.
                          I'm sure MrT10001 won't give up so easily...

                            @Vlad-Nirky I also hope it. I hope he will find a solution to help me out.

                                @MrT10001 I can enter fastboot and flash images, but the images flashed from fb don't work. flashing via recovery mode (and only eng. rom) works.

                                      @MrT10001 @Vlad-Nirky Can I get manual flashing instructions please?
                                      I'll try my best to flash it manually, but I need your help regarding manual flashing.

                                        @MrT10001 @Vlad-Nirky I followed this video. it worked for me.
                                        But i'm unable to make calls via that phone (no mobile network).
                                        Thanks for reply...

                                          Do you have two sockets for the SIM card?
                                          If it is, only one should be occupied.
                                          Which provider do you use?
                                          What was the exact Android version installed before UT (as UT use, through Halium, the Android drivers left in place during install process, it is very important to have the android version expected by the UT port) ?
                                          The video linked is about to change IMEI, did you did this?
                                          Did you used the initial IMEI provided by the phone?
                                          You may know that changing IMEI is illegal in many countries.

                                            Yep, and i wrote only sim2 and inserted only one sim in sim2
                                            I use a local BSNL provider (the modem and frequencies are different in india so i couldn't get it working in global firmware)
                                            Android 12
                                            Yep, i used the initial imei linked, i have the original imei values (i knew i would mess it up so i took a photo before flashing UT)
                                            And no, i didn't change IMEI....
                                            the root cause is simple, the global frequencies are different and indian ones are different, hence since i flashed the global frequencies, i couldn't get it working.
                                            Thanks for the reply....

                                              Well, it could explain the failure.
                                              The UT port is based on Halium 11.
                                              So the Android version, before UT install, should be Android 11.

                                              d8bca01c-cb3e-45e8-b54d-fd73e49f254f-image.png

                                              Consider flash to Android 11 again and retry the UT installer.
