Unlock bootloader - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hi every body,
I'm New in this forum, but not for unlock bootloader or play with magisk and mods
I want unlock my bootloader for two reasons : adaway, viper4A, and a great miui custom rom.
And Also à lot of possibilities with the root.
But I've got some questions:
Wildevine stay on L1 once Mi 9 t pro is rooted ?
If I stay on official rom, OTA works properly ?
Thanks for your response.

widevine will stay L1 once root but netflix wont play unless u delete liboemcrypto
no liboemcrypto = widevine go to L3 = netflix will play but not HD.
even not root but unlock bootloader will trigger this netflix thingy.
OTA should work but u will lose root (I think)..

no way to relock bootloader in chinese device with global rom?

there is no chance to get a workaround to relock the bootloader in a chinese device running global rom?
Probably not.... Maybe someone make a hack... but I had Yotaphone and there was option to install RU (global) rom - problem was only with no supporting bands and hacked baseband to partially fix it. But here is the problem... damn bootloader - maybe some one will be able to hack and replace vitaminised bootloader with official ?
Development is still weak, we do not have kernel source code, which is a bit difficult but it should appear in the future.
well someone has found a workaround for the Mi Mix 2S?

This is not workaround for the question of the treatd!
I also bought chnina version with global rom and unlocked bootloader
Misled by the seller showing large photo with official global rom, but in description with small lethers:
OS ------------ MIUI, Unlocked Bootloader, Official Global ROM, China Version, Support OTA Update.
(Inquiry is necessary if want to reflash firmware)
I`m still waiting delivery, but after I red what I bought I start looking for solution for relock bootloader with Global Rom. So far, no one manage to make it. As @gugugrp said, we have to wait for solution in future (how long, no one knows).
I have one question too, is it posible OTA Update of the global rom already instaled without locking bootloader?
Hi, why do you want to relock BL with global rom?
I have a CN version with unlocked BL and global rom, but it seems useless to me to lock it, or not?

Some apps don`t work at all or don`t work properly or need third party apps to work. Also, if you use the phone as work one, you would prefer OTA update This is my persional opinion of course. If you are about to use custom roms and to play with the phone, it is beter to leave it unlocked.
The problem is not the unlocked bootloader, but the fact that the MiUI 9 stable play store is not sertificated for this deviece... . You also have OTA with the official global and unlocked bootloader.

Google pay does not work with unlocked bootloader for sure (as far as I know). I red some threads for worckaround with third party apps, but....at your own risk. I`m not a dev, just wanted simple phone with OTA update and decently security. If the problem is only in MIUI 9 and when MIUI 10 Global Official comes out fixes this, I`ll be ok, but anyway...would like to know I can lock bootloader with global rom
That would be my exact question in 12 days. Let me know if you know
Same situation for me, using the Chinese Rom instead which allows to lock the bootloader. I will move to the global one when (or if) this could be done...

I doubt xiaomi will ever rollback on the policy, however if the certification on google play is what u are concerned about, installing an older version of magisk and using the universal magisk patcher can mask the unlocked bootloader

As I said I am using the chinese ROM to avoid having the bootloader unlocked. Therefore I had to install the google play myself . Inside the google play settings, the play protect certification field says: Device is not certified.
I found somewhere that this is the reason why NFC payments do not work.
Do you think that the trick with the magisk old version will fix this?
Other than this the Chinese ROM version is working perfect!

Flashing Globale Beta over Stable EEA ROM

Hello everyone,
Xiaomi shocking me a Little bit offering a Special EEA Rom for the Mi 9 in Europe.
I am a Long time Xiaomi user. My last device was the Mi Mix 2 from wich i cam from to the Xiaomi Mi 9.
Overall its a great phone, especially the Hardware parts.
But i am not happy About that there is no EEA Global Beta Version available.
So i thinking about to unlock my Mi9 an flashing the Global Beta und relock the Bootloader after that. (Xiaomi.eu is no Option)
Does somebody had some expierience with that?
The Points are:
- Is it possible to relock the Bootloader after the Flash from EEA Global Stable to Global Beta via miflash or does this brick the phone?
- Is Widevine L1 available on the phone after the Flash from EEA Global Stable to Global Beta?
-Whats are other difficults? Means wich are the generell dificullts between EEA Global Stable and "normal" Global?
Thank you very much for your advices!
already answered the question, read ?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/help/eea-stable-global-stable-t3916135
I'm wondering this too, but I want to go from EEA stable to Global ROM stable and then lock the bootloader. I don't think anyone has attempted this yet.

me, I install the version dev global and re-lock the bootloader without problem. I think this is possible also with the stable version.
I did it boys ?
Nearly **** in my pants at first boot, but it worked.
Widevine L1 is there anymore.
I flashed 9.22.3 (only getable Fastboot beta) gpay doesn't work and play store wasn't certificated.
After update to 9.2.4. gpay work with PayPal and play store doesn't show anymore a certification.
Tomorrow I will test if payments really work.
@meuhmeuh51 , wats up with your payments and certification in play store?
Where do you get new Beta updates, is it also OTA like in Stable?

Did you locked bootloader again after flashing beta rom?
The power of the Mi 9 be with you
...
nicpas said:
yes, i did.
But i dont see any Benefits with it at the Moment.
Play store ist not certified anyway and with locked Bootloader you cant patch safety net.
But before the massage came that ist not certificated i could bind my PayPal with gpay.
So now i will test today in a shop or supermarket if payments will really work.

So we can unlock install global developer or regular global stable rom and lock bootloader again without brick device.

Yes. I did relock the Bootloader. "Flash all and lock" via Miflash.
But i dont see any Benefits with the re-lock. Cause PlayStore is not certified. And with locked bootlaoder you cant patch that via magisk (safety net).
But before playstore Show that is not certified i could bind my PayPal with gpay.
Now i will test today in a Supermarket if payments will really work.

Try DRM L1 Patch for Rapheal v2
Pre-requisite
- You should be on any of the below miui custom roms,
1. Xiaomi.eu v20.1.16
2. MiuiMix v20.1.16
3. Mi Room v20.1.16
- This patch will support only those devices which already had L1 certification and other devices (Chinese variant) will not get L1.
- Working TWRP, Ofx version 10.0.6 recommended.

Question Is it safe to flash EU ROM on Xiaomi Mi 11? Global??

So the EU ROM thread says you have to be on China Rom.
When I got my Xiaomi Mi 11, it's on MIUI 12.0.3.0 Global ROM.
I would like to know if it is safe or alright to flash EU ROM, even if my phone is the global version.
Edit: I bought this phone from Lazada Philippines. The seller says it is the global version.

China model is M2011K2C
Global model is M2011K2G
Check this before.
Do you mean xiaomi.eu by EU ROM?
If so, you can flash them on both devices after the bootloader unlock.

Can I continue to use the phone normally while waiting for the bootloader to unlock?
Hi,
I have a M2011K2G.
Flashed EU rom yesterday after unlocked the bootloader without any problem.

Yes. Just use it and try again to unlock after the 168 hours. But have in mind: when you do the unlock the whole phone is wiped! So make sure you have a backup of important stuff first.

Xiaomi EU is debloated, passes Safetynet and Widevine L1 out of box, even if you are rooted. You will have Xiaomi Dialer and contact instead of Google ones. You can have MIUI 12.5 Beta or MIUI 12 Stable.

Thank for explaining..
Hi Azev,
I rooted the xiaomi.eu version but did not pass. I tried 3 times the full process : rom update + root. The 3 times the safetynet failed. What can I do to pass it?

Try with Magisk Hide button on settings
I just want to confirm:
"You can install Xiaomi.EU rom on the chinese model (M2011K2C) if the bootloader is unlocked without any problems"
I am asking again because I recently flashed a Xiaomi.EU rom on my Redmi Note 9 pro, and I had to restore it to stock by flashing it through EDL and had to pay $25 for that.
I don't want the same to happen to my newly bought Mi 11
hi there. i have unlocked, flashed eu. everything went great. i am on eu 12.5. i flashed patched boot for magisk, all went great. but how do i pass saftey net.??? is it because i am on beta rom, i also enabled magisk hide
So I tried the terminal with props. I chose Xiaomi Mii 11 fingerprint and rebooted. Still failed

If you check directly in Magisk - it doesn't work in the moment. Problem that Google changed the API check. Patch is already work in progress. In the meantime you can check with the app "SafetyNet attest" from Playstore. That shows that safetynet is green
Hey so I checked that app. It was green. So I uninstalled magisk APK. Rebooted. Then I installed canary version of magisk. And passes safetynet.

Change to World Rom

Hello,
I have a Xiaomi 9T Pro European version in MIUI 12.5.1(RFKEUXM) version.
I don't have access to HD videos (netflix, ...) cause of Widevine only on L3, it seems that version 12.5.2 (RFKMIXM) solves this problem, but I only saw a worldwide version.
I hesitated to install a custom rom, but Xiaomi's interface is well suited to my use, I couldn't go back to a basic interface.
Is it possible to install it? If yes, how ? Thanks !
