For some reason, engineering rom works flawlessly (no imei). -

@0xinit69 You are sure you have the Redmi note 9 and not the note 9 pro?
-
@MrT10001 I am sure.
Take a look

@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.

-
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.
