        OS Tried:
        Windows 10 Pro
        Arch Linux (with usb udev rules)

        What Happened?
        Plugged in my Redmi note 9 with unlocked bootloader, usb debugging enabled with security features disabled.
        Flashing went well, firmware was flashed, then it was stuck on "ADB is waiting for devices" and the device bootlooped for some reason.

        What can cause the problem?
        mostly incorrect image flashed, because when i flashed Engineering ROM for merlin, it did boot, but when I flashed some other custom rom, it didn't(I used the one for merlinx but both are the same). I couldn't get it working and got it hard bricked and restored it using BROM mode.

        NOTE
        Custom recoveries such as LineageOS recovery, UBports recovery didn't go well, it never went to recovery screen despite me holding the hotkeys
        but the TWRP for Redmi 10X went well, it worked, but it was temporary flash, (I just booted from it)

        What did I not try to do
        I didn't try to flash manually using twrp, but I flashed manually using fastboot by first erasing the partitions then flashing via fastboot mode

        What happened next
        It still was in a bootloop, lost IMEI due to flashing Engineering rom using sp flash tool but successfully restored using MAUImeta, but now stuck on engineering rom.
        Xiaomi never provided a working image of its stock rom via its website, its servers are painfully slow and made me wait 3 days but it didn't work

        What help do I need?
        I need to somehow flash a working UT image and make it work

          @0xinit69 You need to install the stock Android ROM stipulated by the porters before installing UT. You can download it from here and use the fastboot version. Don't flash through the recovery, flash through fastboot and it takes up to 5 minutes, so leave it alone till the install completes and the device reboots. You don't need to delete all the partitions.

            Thanks for the response.
            I'll download that stock rom and then i'll install it but, my question is, i flashed through fastboot, during Manuel install, as specified in config file (all ones) via fastboot not recovery, but i never booted into Ubuntu Touch.
            BTW, do i flash that zip file via TWRP? Sorry I'm a noob at mobile linux.
            What does this do? I never understood.

              No you don't need TWRP at all. Flash the stock ROM through fastboot using the flash_all.bat (Windows) or flash-all.sh (Linux) and be patient it takes some time, so don't move the device or you could cause a communications issue. Once Android id installed the device will reboot, so set up Android again - DO NOT relock the bootloader. Enable USB debugging and use the UT installer. Tick all the boxes and leave the device whilst it is installing.

                When a port is made from a device for the first time, flashing the device is more complicated and time-consuming, which is why we often use the useful TWRP tool.
                When the device is later added to the UT Installer, it takes over the necessary tasks that were previously performed by the TWRP tool.

                    It reboots to MIUI recovery, I used fastboot version
                    Any help would surely be appreciated since I need to fix it asap.

                      But it is in a bootloop with it booting back to MiUI Recovery (NV DATA IS CORRUPTED).
                      For some reason, engineering rom works flawlessly (no imei).

                          @MrT10001 I Downloaded this Since My Device Is India (NOT NFC) and I even tried the Global 12.5.4 ROM both didn't work.

                            @0xinit69 You are sure you have the Redmi note 9 and not the note 9 pro?

                                @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.

                                  @MrT10001 Yep, it is an indian variant.
                                  What can be my chances of saving it now?
                                  Any help?
                                  i found this on the web

                                      @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

                                            @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.
