In my opinion the only way to unlock your phone is to boot into CWM or TWRP Recovery and restore a backup.
If you don´t have a backup, then you must flash a ROM via Odin, but you will loose all your data.
And remember: Alcohol is dangerous ...

Only with CWM.
if your device is not rooted, you don´t have CWM or TWRP. That´s the problem...
every stock-ROM has a modem included. So i wonder why you didn´t get any signal
check your IMEI please (in settings and in battery-safe) is it the same number?
I think it is time to root your phone

The steps are not that much complex. The Backup might be corrupted. So just do a dry run using the Backup file. A Dry run is like actual restore but it wont do restore at the last step. So you can check the file integrity using this. Also how do you make sure BE is not working?? Can You use track ID ??

Okay then your best options are to Flash Original Firmware again and hope that its cleared this time. Be sure to Clean Install this time.

When you are flashing in Flashtool, flash everything including, kernel, TA, etc. So in this way you will get your original TA

Have you looked in the service mode?
Type *#*#7378423#*#* in the dailer.
Select service tests, security, all keys in there should state ok.

why do not forget to backup TA
so I was able to get the backup through titanium backup, both the Apk and the data files, however, I failed restoring them on my new phone is there any answer to my problem.
the application that I'm trying to move from one phone to the other is Whatsapp, and no I can't reach the old number since I lost the sim card and I can't get the message they sent to confirm the number "( any help, please .
I think..
if you don't have the sim card of your old number, your whatsapp account can't be restored, unless you request new sim card with same old number from your carrier..

If you need everything and your new phone is non rooted, then I think it's impossible, because titanium need root access
is your old devices is Xperia Z?
there is an alternative app named Helium that could backup and restore without root, but I guess it's not really working on Z
do you still have your old devices?
some people say that Astro file manager have ability to backup file, but I never try it
hope it help

Hello dear friends.
I'd love to go back to to stock. I unrooted my phone and flashed the stock recovery.
Now I'd love to relock the bootloader. Will that procedure wipe the content on my phone? If so, is there any way to avoid the wipe?
Thanks.
Regards,
m00h
No mate, there is no way to avoid the factory reset

Backup Your P20pro, using HiSuite on a PC then restore after relocking bootloader - won’t be 100% perfect but almost all apps data and settings will be recovered

Never used anything for backup outside of TitaniumBackup, but will give this rootless solution a try, thanks.
I have so many things set up, it would take weeks to get everything back in place.
Hey :good:
Ive got some questions and hope somebody can help me here!
I've got TWRP 3.3.1-46 installed.
I can backup the boot, recovery, system image and vendor image without any problems. However, when backing up the data, I keep getting "createTarFork()" with error 255. I have been searching on google for some time, but have not found the right solution. Has anyone had the problem with MI9 before?
Furthermore I use "titatnium backup" with the pro version to backup the apps. But since a few months I have a lot of problems with this apps too. During the restore the app hangs or the apps are not restored and I have to intervene manually again and again (out of 120apps this concerns about 30). Does anyone have a good alternative?
thank you so much!

1 I've had the same, you can find the problem in twrp log. For me it was the empty folder data pre_boot. Deleted and ok.
2. I've the same prob. Some apps didn't restore, only if you installed first manually the app and then restore is working.

You'll need to use a file explorer with root privileges to go to the /data folder, keep in mind.
Maybe twrp explorer could do it as well?

that would be good yes. I cant find a folder that name is "pre_boot"?
1) The official TWRP version for Mi 9 is 3.3.1-0, based on last version of Mauronofrio 3.3.1-52. So I suggest to first migrate onto the current version and to try again.
2) Many problems have been reported for Titanium Backup. I'm using Swift Backup instead without any issues so far.

I've been using Swift for quite some time and it certainly lives up to it's name. It backs up so fast compared to TB that at first you assume it can't be working right. I've never had a problem with backup/restores and the UI, especially in dark mode, is great. It will also easily backup sms messages, call logs, wallpapers and wifi settings.
Can't recommend this highly enough.
sooo guys!
ive tested swift backup and it works like charm! awesome no errors or problems. Bought premium directly.
after flashing 3.3.1.-0 twrp and deleten folder pre_boot now it works too!

Swift backup is really good, but I need to restore sometimes system apps and so I've to be with titanium. Also I'm using freezing apps and other things which aren't possible with swift backup.
