        I flashed it through windows, for some reason, it is still in bootloop.
        NV DATA is corrupted.

        can the output help you in any way? It seems fishy, many "Invalid's"
        It reboots to MIUI recovery, I used fastboot version
        Any help would surely be appreciated since I need to fix it asap.
        @Mario.CH @MrT10001 Help please

          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 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?

                          @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

                                          @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?
