[All-in-One] Redmi Note 7 (lavender): Unlock Bootloader, Flash TWRP, Root, Flash ROM

Dear Redmi Note 7 user,
I'm not responsible if anything happens to your device. If you execute these AiO procedures properly then you shouldn't face any problems.
Before you proceed please back up all your important data and make sure that your phone battery is charged >80%!
A. Prerequisites:
1. Disable driver signature enforcement in Windows
If your computer doesn’t recognize Xiaomi drivers then please disable driver signature enforcement. How to do this please read here: http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
2. Install ADB and Fastboot tools with drivers on Windows
How to do this please read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Restart your computer.
3. Enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" in your device
a. Enable Developer Options in: Settings/About Phone/MIUI version. Click on MIUI version seven times
b. Now go to: Settings/Additional Settings/Developer Options and check "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging"
4. Check if your bootloader is locked
a. After successful installation of "ADB and Fastboot" enter the fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer via USB cable (best would be the original cable).
b. Go to the folder where you have put the "ADB and Fastboot" and open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right Click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here"
c. Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot devices<<
If you don't see your device it means that the drivers weren't installed properly or the device wasn't connected properly. If this happens please reinstall your drivers from Point A. 2. or try these drivers here:
http://xiaomiadvices.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers/

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Question:
My computer doesn't recognize my device. What can be the problem?
Answer:
1. Check your cable if it is the original one, and if not then use the original one.
2. Check you drivers if they are installed properly and if not, then re-install them.
3. If the problem is not with point 1 and 2 then please try another computer.
Question:
Can I bypass the waiting time to unlock the bootloader?
Answer:
No you can't. You have to wait for that time to pass.

You know you can probably root without recovery using Magisk Manager and fastboot. You'll just need the original boot image which you should be able to extract from Xiaomi's firmware downloads.

Unfortunatelly the waiting time varies from person to person and also which smarphone model we are talking about. Until now the longest time I waited to unlock a bootloader was 72h. In Xiaomi forums people are reporting that they are waiting btw. 72h - 720h, sometimes even more than 1000h.

That's completely untrue. I do tutorials for these devices on my website Android Explained and have bought the latest ones from the Mi Global seller account on AliExpress.
All have been completely sealed devices, shipped a day or two after their Chinese launch, and once you can unlock the bootloader (you do have to wait a certain period of time), then you can flash the global fastboot ROM with either Mi Flash, or just using the flash_all.bat file

the person you quoted said 'without recovery'. . .not 'with a locked bootloader'
You'll still need to unlock the bootloader, but once you do then you can patch the boot.img file for the device with Magisk and then load it onto the phone (instead of installing TWRP and then flashing Magisk) to gain root access

Yep, as the person above said, I said you could do it without recovery, not without unlocking the bootloader.

Still more 14 days to go until I can unlock the bootloader

That sounds interesting - so - please state if I'm correct:
Once Redmi Note 7 Global version is out, I could install the official Global ROM and this one would work and have OTA upgrades in future on my Chinese Redmi Note 7?
Thank you in advance.

Global rom for Redmi Note 7 is not available yet, and thus I can't test it myself yet, but judging by all other Xiaomi Smartphones I had until now (Mi 5, Mi 6, Mix 2s, Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 5 etc.) I was always able to flash the global rom on my Chinese version of these smartphones. Of course the bootloader will have to be unlocked. I'm quite sure that flashing the global rom on Chinese version of Redmi Note 7 will be possible too!

Yes, OTA will work! Android development on Chinese versions compared to Global version is a prerogative of developers. They decide which version of MIUI (Chinese or Global) they take as basis for their further development.

How To Guide How to revert back to stock firmware.

Hello everyone,
This will be a quick guide how to back to stock rom. If are using custom firmware and recovery and want to feel again the stability of stock firmware here you are. Everything is in the video description, and everything is explained in video.
Steps:
All your data will be lost, make backup before you start!
1. Open Xiaomi website and download your fastboot firmware by tapping flashing guide and fastboot update.
2. Download Mi Flash Tool
3. Unzip both downloaded files and move them to Volume C: of your PC in created folder without any intervals in name.
4. Open Mi Flash and browse for firmware
5. Turn off your phone and boot in fastboot mode by holding volume down + power buttons and connect to your PC with usb cable(better use original one)
6. Press refresh on Mi flash tool and your phone should appear if not install drivers from drivers tab. If still not appear try disable drivers signature enforcement in windows.
7. In Mi Flash bottom right corner select clean all(if you want to keep your bootloader unlock) or clean all and lock(if you want to lock your bootloader)
8. Wait patiently. Keep in mind first boot takes more time.
FOLLOW VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!
Check in System Hacks youtube channel for videos like "How to unlock bootloader" and "How to install custom recovery and rom".

[GUIDE] Install Magisk on stock ROM

My phone is A2020G, so the ROM version of the following instructions is for G only, but you can still try on A2020U (just notice the Android version).
I once flashed Magisk through TWRP on stock Pie ROM but caused freeze at the boot screen, even the same while patching the boot image. However, now I found that if you are at stock Q and R version, you can now successfully install Magisk by patching boot images.
The only problem is that there is no TWRP for the two versions of stock ROM (since the recovery was made into boot image), so be careful while installing modules.
My method is to use Axon 10 EDL Tool. Fastboot mode is unavailable for stock Pie and Q Bootloader, while R can but this fastboot cannot flash images. So we need to use the patched bootloader of EDL Tool to access the fastboot and flash the patched boot images, then recover to the original bootloader so it can boot the system (The patched bootloader of EDL Tool can only boot stock Pie ROM).
Before proceeding:
Make sure you have updated to at least stock Q version and unlocked bootloader.
If you have not unlocked at Q or R, you can still proceed unlocking. The program will auto backup your current bootloader, however the patched bootloader cannot boot stock Q and R. So following these instructions:
1.Turn on the Developer Options and turn on OEM unlocking, remove your Google Account and lock screen passwords cause it will ask you to login after wiping because of FRP.
2.Boot into EDL Mode (If the phone is off, hold on pressing Vol+ and Vol- and then connect the cable; If the phone is on, connect the cable, then hold on pressing two Volume buttons and then press the power button for about 10 sec and the phone will automatically reboot)
3.Execute the EDL Tool with administrator rights.
4.Choose Unlock-Unlock bootloader
5.Follow the instructions, when the program has flashed (not backup) patched bootloader (Display "DONE", ask you to press any key), hit enter, and your phone will reboot immediately. When your phone vibrates, press both of the Vol+ and Vol- button immediately to boot into fastboot. (If you press in advance you will boot into EDL mode)
6.Open Command Prompt, use the fastboot.exe of the EDL Tool to proceed this command line:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
or just drag the program into CMD, like this:
Code:
D:\Axon10Pro_EDL_Tool\tools\fastboot.exe flashing unlock
7.Your phone will display the unlock warning, use volume button to select Yes and press power button to confirm.
8.After pressing power button (keep the cable connecting), press the two volume button immediately to boot into EDL mode, open the EDL Tool again and Restore bootloader from backup.
9.While restoring completed, reboot and hold on pressing Vol+ button to boot into recovery, the phone will automatically erase data and unlocking is done.
After unlocked:
1.Use djkuz's Axon 10 EDL Tool
2.Backup your boot image.
3.Copy your boot image to your phone and install Magisk Application.
4.Patch the two boot images (a/b), and remember the filename of the patched a and b boot.
5.Copy the patched boot images to your computer.
6.Use the EDL Tool to proceed unlocking, follow step 5 above to boot into fastboot.
7.Use the fastboot.exe of EDL Tool to flash patched boot images:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a pta.img
fastboot flash boot_b ptb.img
(pta, ptb is the filename of your patched boot image)
8.Use volume button to select the green "START" and hit power button to reboot.
9.Follow step 8 above to recover bootloader, and you are done.
Problems:
Cannot use the default "Files" application to install local modules in stock R ROM cause it will possibly crash, so you have to install a third-party file manager application (like Root Explorer) to select modules. (When it open "Files" app, click the menu icon of the left side and select your installed file manager, then select modules to install)
Notes:
I can't find a way of checking which slot(A/B) of the phone has been on without using recovery, so I have to patch the two bootloaders. If you know, then you can patch and flash only that one.
I don't know if you can update to stock Q while unlocked at Pie when I saw this thread, but you can still upgrade to stock R while unlocked and installed Magisk at Q (V2.8). Just remember not to reboot immediately after you installed the upgrade, use the Magisk Application to install to another slot and then reboot.
Hope you enjoy~

Thanks for the guide, My phone is A2020G and bootloader is unlocked. Is there an easy way to boot into fastboot mode easily? I do not want to unlock again, because the data in the phone is reset after bootloader unlocking process.

There is no way other than using the EDL Tool because ZTE didn't make fastboot accessible while it is on stock Bootloader. However it's safe to flash the modified bootloader using EDL Tool's unlock option because the original bootloader will be backuped. Since you have already unlocked, the fastboot application won't unlock it again, neither will it erase your data. But the modified bootloader can't boot stock system above Android 9 normally, so use it only when you want to flash a image.

I managed to apply Magisk on both Android 10 and 11.
Method. Backup boot.img from Android 10 / 11. Use Magisk app to patch the boot.img and flash it via EDL.
Here is my Android 11 + Magisk boot.img - Backup your own first before you flash this one and do it on your own risk. When I find time, I will create full EDL files with Android 10 and 11 featuring Magisk.

Sorry, but I have same questions here:
Hi, I had already tried to root my device according to the instructions from flymetothemoon, which unfortunately I haven't been able to do so far.
I already unlocked my bootloader under version 1.8, i.e. Android 9. Another unlock is no longer possible. I get the error message from fastboot:
FAILED (remote: ' Device already : unlocked!')
fastboot: error: Command failed.
The EDL tool still created the backups of the boot images. I wanted to copy this images into the system, but unfortunately the device got stuck in a bootloop after the restart.
I found a way to patch the boot images on the PC with Magisk. I used the latest version of Magisk for this. I was also able to flash the patched boot images via fastboot and then restore the backed up boot images in the EDL.
After the restart, however, the device goes back into the bootloop.
To be honest, the last step is not entirely clear to me. The patched images are flashed and then I restore the original boot images. Am I misunderstanding something?

And I got my A10Pro to charge again, so this is fantastic news! Miss root more than anything else out there.

but I tell you that the cell phone does not turn on, when it is connected it only sounds as if it was connected but it does not appear anywhere, included in fastboot or adb.

So you're telling me you can't boot Into fastboot and recovery ? Go download xiaomitools v2 and select (The phone is bricked) then you Can have options to repaire it.

[CLOSED] Unlock bootloader Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (Ginkgo)

Hey Guys
I Unlocked Bootloader without waiting 178 hours
There are only 2 Files that you need to download for unlocking
1.Firmware for your Ginkgo
2.Files that i uploaded at attachment
Instructions:
1.Put your device at recovery mode and go with volume keys to Mi Assistant and click on it with power button
2.Connect your phone with pc
3.Extract those files that you downloaded
4.Open Sideload Unlock Folder and then open the Batch file
5.Select 1st option by typin number 1 and hit enter
6.Wait for the procedure to finish
7.After batch gets you a message or gets you on the main screen put your phone on fastboot mode
8.After the phone gets on Fastboot mode select 2nd option on batch that it is opened.
9.After that select 3rd option (and your device will get on edl mode)
10.Open QFL and On click on Load Firehose and select the file RedmiNote8PatchedLoader.elf
11.Then Click on button Load Firmware and select your firmware directory that has images on it (You should let your device connected to pc obviously)
12.Then click on button EDL Flash
13.Wait for about 15-20 minutes till it flashed the rom
And BOOOM
Your device should get Unlocked By Now
Warning: everything on your device will be Wiped
It worked for me and i hope it will work for you too
Mod edit: TG link removed
THIS IS UNOFFICIAL WAY TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

switch it off then plug your phone in your computer then press +- volume and power button, you can hear a plugin sound in your computer and there u go your phone goes edl mode.
in my situation i failed option 2 and my phone dont turn on thats what i do

Could you elaborate on step 11.Then Click on button Load Firmware and select your firmware directory that has images on it. Are you referring to the redmi Note 8 stock firmware/flash file? Thank you for your assistance.
