Hi, I need some advice on how to root my phone with the configuration as given in the title. There are a lot of guides here, but none of them have starting point at Android 10. At the moment I'm not looking into installing any custom rom, just want to root, install some Magisk modules, GCam etc. If there are no differences in the process for Android 9 and 10, then you can just point me an existing guide, and I'll follow the steps there.
For starters could someone advice on whether to use TWRP or OrangeFox? Which one is better if I want to receive and install OTA updates from Xiaomi without any additional steps? (By additional steps, I mean I want to apply OTA updates like normal when I receive them; additional steps during the root process to set it up that way is perfectly fine)

Use Magisk 20.1 stable which supports android Q. some magisk module can also cause bootloop.

Guessing you're asking if there's a custom recovery available for the RN9. Not yet, so far as I know
I've found the stock firmware pretty solid so far - can't see me bothering too root this

May I ask, why do you need to wait 166 hours to unlock bootloader? I this about the apply thingy that you need to do before unlocking Xiaomi devices? Because I have read this article that stated "Before some years ago you need to apply and wait 1-15 days for permission! But, now Xiaomi changes its policy. Now you don't need to apply for unlocking your device.Oct 13, 2018"

I see now. Mine's 168 hours. You just need to add your Mi account first then it will tell you to wait 168 hours on the Mi unlock tool. Thanks Mr. danger2u
tested the unofficialtwrp thing today. And now got me bootlooped. seems like the no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip is not working as expected. now im trying to restore the old state.... hope there will be a good way to root this cause i need adaway
Adguard is loads less trouble - fine without root

Thanks darthm0e! Hope you keep updating here on your findings BTW, how can we create a custom recovery? I want to know how to.
Adguard doesn't work for all my needs. and its more or less browser based. Anyway i need root for some other stuff too...so.
2nd try i used the Xiaomi Tool V2 (by Francesco Tescari). It loads also the same TWRP image and i also get stucked in the Bootloop.
on tradingshenzhen they explained more or less the same method then unofficialtwrp.com except they use the XiaomiTool V2
and the TWRP i found there is the same.
whats strange is that i only read about Codename Merlin for the Redmi Note 9, but mine reports hisself as MerlinNFC. maybe this is the thing or are they all equipt with NFC? I will try tomorrrow again.

Redmi note 9 root
How root redmi note 9???? Any body know about redmi note 9 recovery?????? When recovery coming for redmi note 9??????
Hi guys,
New here and I got this phone a few weeks ago. I tried rooting it via Magisk both by flashing the zip on the unofficial TWRP and by patching the boot.img file, but both methods ended up in bootloop.
So I'd like to know if any of you have informations on this : has a consistent way of rooting this phone been found?
(My question may seem stupid since it only came out a month or so ago, but honestly I don't really have an idea how long it usually takes after a device's release for people to find a way to root it)
Thanks for your answers!

This post worked for me as far as rooting goes.
I also managed to verify the SafetyNet test (with magisk spoofing modules + clearing Play Store/Services data), then installed edXposed just fine too.
But, then I installed some module that got me stuck in a bootloop and had to wipe and start over, and I couldn't pass the SafetyNet check anymore for some reason.
So I wiped again and keeping it unrooted for now, I'll wait for custom ROMs.

Could u tell me please how did u install ? I flashed it in magisk but it shows me that it's not installed in the edxposed manager.
@Akitake: That's always nice to see that a particular rooting method of some related Redmi phone works on our Redmi Note 9. :good:
Now, you know for sure that the Redmi Note 9 has a MediaTek G85 processor and Xiaomi devices are notorious for getting very easily bricked. See for example the Custom Rom threads for Redmi Note 8. It is really spooky how some guys end up having their smartphone turn in to a Xiaomi service center - if there is such a center at all in their country. So what's paramount here for us Redmi Note 9 users is that we really, really make sure that we don't arrive at a hopeless situation! That's why I need to ask you some questions to make sure we all are on the same page.
1) What Note 9 do you have? Is it one with NFC or not? Mine, for example, is a M2003J15SG where G denotes the NFC variant.
2) What's the MIUI version you are running? Mine, for example, is 11.0.5.0 (QJOEUXM)
3) You unlocked your phone, right?
4) Did you use any particular tools like a particular fastboot version, for instance?
5) Which version of Magisk did you install?
6) Which version of edXposed did you install?
7) Which Magisk spoofing module did you install? Why that and not another one?
8) What do you mean with "clearing Play Store / services data". Do you mean all Google Play services data?
9) If you arrived at a bootloop, how did you wipe? Did you wipe data/cache/etc? Did you use fastboot or some LR-TWRP or MiFlash? Which version of the tool?
10) Once you reinstalled your original boot.img, did your phone start up normally or were there "hickups"?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but as I said, I want to make a 100% sure that everything goes well.
Thanks for your answers in advance!
Best whishes to you!

1) It's the lower end version, with 64GB internal storage, Redmi Note 9 (merlin)
2) Latest at time of writing, shouldn't matter but yes, 11.0.5.0, we're also going to get MIUI 12 soon-ish as it's already released in China.
3) Yes with miunlock (Official tool)
4) I just always use the ADB and Fastboot versions provided with MiUnlock (same folder, open CMD inside it then you can use adb and fastboot)
5) Latest? 20.4
6) I installed EdExposed manager from XDA Labs and simply installed it that way, so, latest
7) One of them is like Magisk Props something, the other is lib something which seemed to help for DRM content (netflix etc)
8) Once I installed the Magisk modules for spoofing, I restarted, then cleared the Google Play Store & Play Store services data (In Settings>Apps>Manage Data> Clear all Data), restarted again.
9) I didn't bootloop ever. And even if you do, it's to either use fastboot (power + vol down) and flash the official rom back with MiFlash.
10) Nah it was completely normal.
Links:
- Official Roms for Redmi note 9: https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?device=1900378
- Re-flash stock rom via recovery (power + vol up): https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=1
- Re-flash stock rom via fastboot (power + vol down): https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Their links to roms in that guide are dead, you can get them here though: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/merlin/
Just make sure the ROM you download is of the right type (recovery for recovery method, fastboot for fastboot+miflash method) before downloading.
For now the only way I have done this was using stock rom 11.0.18 and update to android 10 than flash recovery TWRP and Magisk newest version and patched boot image
I took the 11.0.2 Ota and decompressed it to get the stock boot.img patched it with this website AND Included Magisk to work
patcher.yaalex.xyz
Than flashed TWRP and the Magisk newest version on Android 9 you would have used the 19.3v I think than update it
I hope it helped you if you needed to root it Im searching for a way to get super su on mine I can't seem to be able for now, I want it because of apps like folder mount or link2sd which require super su or I've tried app2sd with magisk and don't always work even with the soft reboot after fully booting the system it doesn't load them sometimes which leads to not being able get them back again

how to unroot redmi note 9 but there are some conditions will it still work though -:
I have an unlocked bootloader
I have an custom recovery unofficial twrp dimenzino recovery like something it's name
__________
I went to an local shop they were saying if your phone got bricked it's your responsibility and were charging me ₹800 .. Is it true about bricking issue ?
___________
When I was doing it from magisk app it was giving insufficient partition size error . Can i have a reason for that and can it be unrooted in this condition?
____________
And now please tell the things in order to do like
First i have to remove custom recovery and tell the way ? Or it will be removed by flashing boot.img .
I have installed miui 13 so going to 12.5 will downgrade Android version ? I have listened that downgrading Android can brick pls confirm or i will stay to miui 13 only
Then how to lock bootloader after unrooting
And i know about data backup but it will reset my device ?
Where will I get original boot.img for my device provide link if possible Redmi note 9 (Merlin) Indian Varient.
What software will be used in pc and how to operate tutorial if possible .
Please reply all the questions..
Am regretting why I rooted without having zero knowledge please help me
Unfortunately, downgrading from MIUI 13 (A12) to MIUI 12 (A10/11) is/may not (be) possible because of the security patches and MIUI's anti-rollback feature. I could only downgrade my MIUI 12 back to 11 as it was still Android 10. You can unroot your device by flashing the MIUI using the Mi Flash. Just remember to choose a lock option and not Wipe Internal storage as you may lose the IMEI numbers and the whole NVRAM. I can't verify if it will work for you. It worked on my Redmi Note 9 Global (EEA). Also, I'm not sure about the MIUI and Android vendor downgrading as I've seen many people hard bricking their devices by forcing and bypassing the MIUI Recovery "Can't downgrade this MIUI version" error. Maybe I'm wrong in something. Feel free to criticize and fix my mistakes. Unlocking a bootloader and flashing a custom ROM is considered to be "irreversible and permanent" as the user's goal may be to get rid of the MIUI and full control of the phone/OS.

Lock option locks the bootloader, like it came out of box. You can find the boot.img file in the ROM's package or in the MIUI's folder called Images. Lock option needs to wipe the device as it's enabling back the security layers to the memory to prevent injecting bad codes into the device. Unlocking disables it on the other side, that's why a full wipe is necessary.
