Installation fails on Redmi Note 9 (merlin)
-
@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.

-
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 -
@0xinit69
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.
-
@0xinit69 Can you still enter fastboot mode?
-
@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.
-
@0xinit69 Can you try the latest available ROM for your device and flash it through fastboot?
-
@MrT10001 It doesn't work right now.
-
@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... -
@0xinit69
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. -
@Vlad-Nirky
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.... -
@0xinit69
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.
Consider flash to Android 11 again and retry the UT installer.

@Vlad-Nirky My kernel version right now is 14.4.186. I am on android 11
Will it work -
@0xinit69
Let's cross fingers.
It should. -
@Vlad-Nirky Well it works 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
But the sim still doesn't work sadly. Its more of my mess which I did. Thanks for the community, especially @Vlad-Nirky @MrT10001 for the support...... -
@0xinit69
Great news. Calls should work.
Are you able to try another SIM, from another operator? -
@Vlad-Nirky They actually don't, one of the technicians said that i need to write both IMEI's then calls will work. I'll try it today and tell you the results......
