Downgrading Huawei P Smart, Unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP
Hello! In this tutorial i will show how you can, downgrade you phone, installing TWRP + root!
Why you need downgrade? You need to downgrade security patch to read bootloader unlock code.
Lets start!
Note: This method will cost 4euro/dollar. You need buy 4 credits to DC unlocker. Just google for it.
Note 2: Backup your important files. You need reset your phone twice.
Note 3: Im not resposible if you success to brick your phone. I can always help, if you have Discord you can contact ScaryG#8540/B] or just ask in comments
Note 4: Twrp wont work with custom roms :/
Also if something missing from tutorial, please tell down. I will fix them as soon as possible:good:
Part 1. Downgrading
You need 16 GB SD card. First format it to extFat. Then download firmware from androidhost.ru, i used FIG-LX1 8.0.0.128A(C432) Download it. ( Links below! ) Then find dload folder from zip and extract into SD card (Remember to format SD Card into extFat)
Wait until it extracts. Now put your SD Card into your phone. Call *#*#2846579#*#*, locate for software upgrade and press SDCard Upgrade button. Now your phone is installing the update. Wait until installs. After install, you should get bootloop. In this part Press Volume UP + Power button, go to recovery and do factory reset. Now wait until boots. Go to settings -> about, and you should see version (128A). Boom! You have done downgrade...
Part 2. Unlocking Bootloader
Okay. Now get DC Unlocker ready, select auto detect Huawei Phones. Now go to again call to *#*#2846579#*#* and enable manufacturer mode. Try auto detect. It should detect your phone. Now simply, press the Unlock button. You should get your bootloader code, take it up. Enable developer options on your phone, go to USB Debugging and turn it on, also turn OEM Unlocking on. Then open cmd and type cd (same path as dc unlocker folder). Type adb devices It should start ADB daemon. Check your phone, you should get ADB trust popup, Allow it! Then check again adb devices, your device should be there. Now type adb reboot bootloader After it type: fastboot oem unlock (your key) ex. fastboot oem unlock 12345678. Check your phone, and press yes. Yeet! Your bootloader is now unlocked! Type fastboot reboot to reboot! Now goes kinda easy part!
Part 3. Installing TWRP
Download TWRP for Huawei P Smart. I put links below.
Move file to same folder as DC Unlocker and rename it to recovery.img
Anyways, your phone should be resetted again...
Go again enable developer options + enabling USB Debugging. Then again confirm...
Now do again adb reboot bootloader now type fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img Now it should be flashed. Get into TWRP by pressing Power button and Volume up. Now you can root and flash zips!
Thats it, i hope it helped :good:

You need download the update, then extract all from zip. Not only update app.

Once I unlock how do I upgrade to EMUI 9 without loosing the unlock

Hi ! Hope you saved the unlock code somewhere
If yes, you can upgrade any way you want. Just redo 'fastboot oem unlock xxxxx' after successful upgrade. (Worked for me on EMUI 9.0.1.115)
It will unlock and wipe again..
As for me, this is the point I'm stuck at :
- latest EMUI FIG-LX1 9.0.1.120 (C432)
- bootloader unlocked
- can flash twrp, allow it to prevent being overriden, then flash Magisk 19.3 without error in the log.
After that, phone boots ok but Magisk Manager says 'not installed' and TWRP must be reflashed again.
Anyone can help further ? I've read about patched boot images to be flashed with fastboot. Are they just Magisk patched or some additional security level hacking required ?
Thanks XDA

Hi.
Just FYI, afters hours, I managed to finish the procedure and restore full root/magisk under latest EMUI 9.1.0.120 (E)
I had to use magisk uninstaller under TWRP, then reflashed Magisk 19.3
Now everything sticks :
- TWRP 3.2.0_1
- Root access
- Magisk is detected as installed and running
I mainly use "systemless hosts" with Adaway and it's OK.
Did not test any other module yet.

Hi,
I bought 4 credits online for the dc unlocker, but how do i run it?
this part: "Okay. Now get DC Unlocker ready, select auto detect Huawei Phones"
How do i do that?
Sorry fo the noob question, would be great if you could clarify
cheers

Just unlock bootloader with same way on emui 9.

Hey there! I've tried downgrading but i instantly get the message "Software install failed." before it even starts to install. Any ideas?

Can't downgrade from android 9.1, everytime said Software install failed

Thanks for the tutorial. I was able to install the older EMUI 8.0 version and unlock the bootloader of a FIG-LX1 (C432). Two tips:
I was able to use a uSD formatted in FAT32, I did not need to format it again using ExtFAT
When using the DC Huawei Bootloader Codes app from PlayStore to buy the credits, select Android 7 to get charged for just 4 credits, otherwise it will try to charge for a 3-day license
Make sure the phone has 8.0.0.128A or older, and DC Unlocker 2 recognizes the phone properly before buying anything (if it is not the correct version, it will tell you to use the test/probe point method)

I can only thank you hugely for this clear concise instruction. Well worth £3.41 to DC Unlocker developers! Finally an unlocked bootloader on my wifes phone. I'm a definite Xiaomi phone fan compared to the ridiculous hoops Huawei make people go thru with their locked down phones. Gave up with Samsung years back too for the same reason. Cheers

Hello , I have model FIG LX1 and I want to flash roms. I need to follow this guide ?
And basically I have to pay ? What the hell

try installing 6.0 firmware for you model.
i cant go to eRecovery, i cant even shut down device - only full discharge can make it.But i can go to fastboot. Ive tried with fastboot commands but i have locked bootloader and every time my flashes are rejected by phone. The simpliest metod - HiSuite send me message: "no recovery packages are found for your phone model". It should be a way to unbrick it with fastboot but i dont know how.
Hi I was in your shoes yesterday I had to pay for the dn Phoenix to fix my phone it uses a backdoor to install firmware from fastboot
You could try and look for the backdoor commands I found this , I would post a link but can't yet

I will try to send my Huawei to warranty service and if they wont repair my phone ill pay for DC Phoenix too
I had the same problem!
Hi there.
Was in the same situation as you not so long ago.
Get a micro SD card, plug into PC, create a dload folder then download the rollback file from the Huawei website.
I'm a new user so can't post URL. Just Google "Huawei P9 rollback" should be the 2nd option (consumer.huawei link)
Put in the dload folder and put into your P9.
Press and hold power, vol up and down together till the Huawei logo appears and let go when you feel the vibrate.
This should force update and restart. (does not rollback to email 4.1, only unlocks the rollback from emui 5)
Next you need to download your previous firmware, in my case I'm in the UK with unlocked P9, so I downloaded EVA-L09C432B166.
Same again, put micro SD into PC, delete the rollback file and put your firmware in its place.
Put back in the P9 and repeat the above force update.
This will put you back to working stable stock.
For further reassurance, download a build previous to B166 so when it's up and running you can search for an OTA update to make sure all is in order.
Hope this helps.
Did you meant that the rollback flashes without going to eRecovery? I said some posts earlier that i cannot enter eRecovery so i cant dload anything. Im stuck on Huawei logo all the time do you think than i can flash something via dload without going to eRecovery?
erecovery is different.
I'm saying to do a force update, but in order to do so you need a microSD card.
Erecovery involves holding power up while connecting to PC in order to use HiSuite etc to recover.
Force updater tells the phone to search for dload folder on SD card or phone and install the update before trying to boot up OS.
So, if you connect microSD to your PC via a card reader etc and not via your phone, you can create a dload folder, download the rollback file from Huawei (above) the file is only around 80mb or so, plug the SD card back into your phone while powered off, hold down Power + vol up + vol down. The Huawei logo will appear, when it disappears let go of all the buttons. This should bring up the Update screen.
At this point the phone will install the rollback file. and this will bypass the rollback prevention in emui 5 and therefore allow you to install a previous emui build (4.1)
Again though your phone will still not boot at this point as there is no OS working or installed.
So you need to download the corresponding firmware for your phone/country/operator. Once downloaded, remove the memory card from the phone, connect to PC via card reader, delete the rollback file you placed in the dload folder and replace it with the downloaded OS and repeat the process used to install the rollback.
From there you should be back to stock marshmallow.
I should point out the files you download may be in zip folders. You need to extract the "update" file and that's what you place in the dload folder.
Hope this all makes sense, if not I can make a YouTube video and post it.
Good luck.
Now i know what did you mean, but sadly i cant update it too. I tried with my friend's P9 and when i hold these 3 buttons then shows special update screen and in my P9 it doesnt probably because of my bad flash rollback for P9 EVA-L19 and i have EVA-L09 model

The rollback package for L09 model is here: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91892&version=363759&siteCode=es
Inform the results please.
I made a video to better understand. This wideo is showing that phone isn't searching any dload folder. https://youtu.be/oD9AI_6SqLs
edit: i have tried your advices to put rollback and try to dload it and then same with firmware but there is no reaction i didnt see there any circle with progress of flashing (like it was before i flashed rollback for L19)
Mine is now doing the exact same thing - I too tried the dload method to update from C432B182 to C432B361 and it's screwed my device up too.
Until I tried to use the 'rollback' package, it would at least allow me to power off, so I could get back into the Update screen - after doing that, and trying the B182 again, it's got into this position where I can do literally nothing with it. No combination of buttons, no matter how long I try to hold them, seems to do anything.
An update...
After letting my battery drain completely, I have been able to get into Fastboot mode, by pressing and holding the Volume Down button whilst connecting a USB cable to my PC.
From here, I have been able to run DC-Phoenix, and have been able to write some .APP files to it - which has at the very least got it booting into eRecovery, rather than the boot loop it had before, but is still not fully booting.
It looks like I might need the full, original firmware, in order to proceed?
And I've got about 68 hours left to flash using DC-Phoenix, or I'll have to spend another €15!
Yes you download the original firmware unzip it and put it in the "dload" folder of SD card then do a force update. Hold all the buttons vol + vol - and power

enable OEM unlock - Disabled setting

Hi, after some attempts to upgrade to N, this is my situation:
The essential setting "enable OEM unlock" is Disabled, not selectable!!
So I'm blocked with any restore / twrp procedure...
What to do?
Here you can note this, is in "gray"
When I'm in fastboot the FRP is Lock (in green)
Someone already solved this?

relock bootloader, only then you can enable oem unlock
tested on Mate 9
Hey!
It's a little tricky, but it worked for me. My device was OEM unlock, but FRP locked and with that I wasn't able to flash any of the files. Fastboot flashing and other normal flashing methods didn't work anymore and even tho DC phoenix says it flashes all the partition it still gives you bootloops afterwards.
Here's what I did:
1) Downloaded the original ROM file for the phone. I.e my phone: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1163/g104/v57187/f1/full/update.zip
2) By using DC phoenix to bypass the FRP lock and flash the TWRP recovery - https://forum.dc-unlocker.com/forum/modems-and-phones/huawei/155916-dc-phoenix , but this is a little tricky. When you select the ROM you want to flash, it starts to extract the files into the folder where DC phoenix is located. Here you want to overwrite the recovery.img with the file from TWRP, before it starts to flash the phone. This is what makes it possible to flash the old rom
3) Now boot up into TWRP and flash the original ROM file - The update.zip file!
This should get you bring you back to Android 6 and you can now disable FRP lock from the menu.
After this, I once again flashed the original firmware again, but with all the default contents for the DATA partition and using the normal flashing method - PWR key + VOL up and VOL down
If you want a more detailed version, please let me know...
Best regards,
Claus

Hello guys i make update on my Huawei Nova Can L01 C109B100 to emui 5.0.1 anfroid 7 C109B331 and now i have build number NRD90M test-keys everything work perfect except factory reset,themes and update app.I try with Hi suite but not work because not want to connect after did settings corect on option development with usb debug on and oem on.Please give me solutions for fix that,wait your advice,thanks in advance.... i flash with huawei finder wrong firmware and now i need flash the verison good of my firmware but i don't know wich are this firmware,please help me,thanks a lot.I forget tell you that in option development OEM ENABLE BUTTON is invisible and i can't enable....
Hit the 'Restore default settings' button at the bottom of the 'developer options' and it should disable OEM unlock, and you're free to switch it on/off now, at least that's what worked for me....YMMV
It also fixed my issue of USB Debugging disabling itself automatically.
the problem is the security settings...try disabling the pin/password/pattern/finger print totally then see if it is enabled then.

I have a locked bootloader and I can't find OEM Unlock in the settings help plz.
Huawei P9 Eva Al00.
Emui 8 c00patch2

Issue with P9 after rooting - possible brick?

Hey guys,
This is a bit of a long one so please bear with me...
I have an EU EVA-L09 which was running EVA-L09C432B166 unrooted and with a locked bootloader. I decided to unlock it which I did successfully (Fastboot was showing both Phone & FRP as unlocked) and flashed TWRP on to it as well as BETA-SuperSU-v2.65.
After a few days with my stock email app not working and Battery Settings unaccessable since rooting (not to mention the warning message every time I booted my phone) I decided it wasn't worth it and wanted to remove it all and go back to stock. I was struggling to find a stock rom due to being impatient and just removed root via SuperSU app on my phone.
I found a stock recovery image which I tried to flash on to the phone using the BAT file (PASO 3 VOLVER A RECOVERY STOCK) which didn't seem to work. I also tried to do it via cmd line and was faced with "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)." I also noticed that FRP was showing as locked now in fastboot. I did unlock it using DC Unlocker but it's still displaying as locked (after some research on the forum this seems normal.)
I tried to update to Nougat 7.0 by Wiping in TWRP and then installing Update.zip from another thread on this forum. This worked great but stupidly I forgot to install the EU pack zip which accompanied it before rebooting. Unfortunately this has now installed a limited version of Nougat on to the phone whilst simultaneously removing TWRP so I can't install the other zip.
I have tried to install the other zip and some old firmware using dload method but I always get stuck on 5%. I have also tried flashing TWRP again but I am facing the same , ""FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)" error. The error is also displayed when I try to re-lock the bootloader. The bootloader is definitely unlocked as I have checked with cmd line & the warning message is still being displayed on booting up. I have USB debugging enabled but am unable to enable OEM Unlock due to the option being greyed out (seems to be the case when FRP is unlocked.)
I can't do any updates using 3 button technique they all get stuck on 5%. I can't submit any flash commands in cmd.exe without getting the "command not allowed error."
There is a bit of hope because I can boot in to Nougat but it's very limited with no apps and no keyboard.
Can anybody help?

Hey guys,
This is a bit of a long one so please bear with me...
I have an EU EVA-L09 which was running EVA-L09C432B166 unrooted and with a locked bootloader. I decided to unlock it which I did successfully (Fastboot was showing both Phone & FRP as unlocked) and flashed TWRP on to it as well as BETA-SuperSU-v2.65.
After a few days with my stock email app not working and Battery Settings unaccessable since rooting (not to mention the warning message every time I booted my phone) I decided it wasn't worth it and wanted to remove it all and go back to stock. I was struggling to find a stock rom due to being impatient and just removed root via SuperSU app on my phone.
I found a stock recovery image which I tried to flash on to the phone using the BAT file (PASO 3 VOLVER A RECOVERY STOCK) which didn't seem to work. I also tried to do it via cmd line and was faced with "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)." I also noticed that FRP was showing as locked now in fastboot. I did unlock it using DC Unlocker but it's still displaying as locked (after some research on the forum this seems normal.)

Yes... Downgrade to MM with the rollback
Then flash full B136 and update

Hey @jcalderonv74 thank you for the response. I have just re-tried to do that on your suggestion and with the intermediate UPDATE.app in the dload folder on my external SD I get to the stage of the 3 button start up as per the instructions and Installing Update gets stuck on 5%.
I have noticed I do have access to stock recovery using "adb reboot recovery" command.
Any more ideas?

Hi, yeah I did use the rollback package @xtcislove and it would just get stuck on 5% using the dload method, and trying to flash it in command line would result in "Command not allowed".

Ok just for completion and anybody who is having the same issues as I have had with the same or similar model of P9, this is how I solved it (after a day without sleep and a couple of migraines). Please note this is only to be used if you have exhausted all other, free options on this forum as this is slightly risky and costs money. It's a last resort.
What you'll need:
- HiSuite installed but closed on your PC
- USB cable to connect phone to PC
- DC-Phoenix with an account with 15 credits (15 Euro)
- The DC-Phoenix guide opened at "Method 2"
- Firmware .img file from their database by clicking "Enter Support Area" button in DC-Phoenix (EVA-AL10_M00A056_Factory_firmware_Global_Nonspecific_Android_6.0_EMUI_4.1.dgtks)
- Stock firmware as an .app file on an SDCard in a folder named "dload" (I used EVA-L09C432B182 (UPDATE.APP))
Method:
1. Copy the official stock firmware .app file to your SDCard inside a folder named "dload".
2. Remove SDCard & Sim Card from the phone.
3. Put your phone in to Fastboot (Turn off phone, hold volume(down), insert usb cable).
4. Load DC-Phoenix and select Fastboot mode.
5. Click "IMG Files" tab and locate the .dgtks file using the "Config or recovery file:" field.
6. DO NOT uncheck the boxes next to "Not erase NV" and "Not erase oeminfo" as this will delete your IMEI and other information completely.
7. Click UPDATE and wait for it to fully finish (you may see an error regarding FBlocks but it should still go on to complete).
8. Once you see it is completed, disconnect phone from PC and restart the phone by holding the power button.
9. This should load you in to a very basic firmware (it may take one or two reboots to achieve this).
10. Insert your SDCard with the newer, official, stock firmware that you want on the phone in to the SDCard slot WITHOUT SimCard.
11. On your phone home you should see an icon named "Upgrade" or "Upgrade/Update Phone" on the first page. (I've forgotten the exact name of the icon but it will be obvious to you).
12. Click that icon and it should go ahead and install the firmware .app on to the phone off your SDCard.
After following the on screen instructions you should now be back to stock firmware. I recommend re-locking your bootloader now using fastboot and your unlock key if you are trying to do so. If you go on to update to Nougat 7.0 before locking your bootloader back up you won't be able to do so without downgrading back to the same firmware that was on your phone when you originally unlocked it.)
Hope this helps somebody who is stuck and exhausted every other avenue with nothing left to lose.

I had a similar issue after doing this :- unlock bootloader...root MM....Upgrade to Nougat...root...Rollback to MM...root...Upgrade to Nougat.. borked!!!
I was left with a phone that only booted to bootloader and no recovery or possibility of flashing with dload worked.
Luckily DC Phoenix got it into a usable state where i could enter erecovery and flash Nougat again. Seems the backdoor method they use to load the OS, at least at a low level, is very effective!
There's probably a lesson here, but I've never had a phone so easily bricked....
Thanks :good:
Peace

Dear DCStreamer,
I tried to follow your procedures with my Huawei tablet but don't work: where I wrong?

(Tutorial) Recovering a P10/P10+ Brick

Here’s what you need to fix your P10/P10+ brick.
This method was tested on a bricked P10 (didn’t test on the P10+)
Bootloader already unlocked + Code (no need of twrp)
SD Card
Custom recovery (fix the entire update process)
Stock rom UPDATE.APP from update.zip and update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip
for your P10 + P10+ (choose the one you want to install, no need to be the one that come from with your P10, it could be the most recent one but linked to your exact model)
Be patient
Extract the stock rom update.zip and update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip, both have an UPDATE.APP,
we are going to flash the one from the update.zip first and repeat the same process for the update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip one.
(1)Get ready your SD card
Insert your SD card on the PC, create a folder at the root and name this one dload, move the update.APP from the update.zip
to the dload folder.
(2)Boot your phone in fastboot (Hold Vol- + Power) USB cable need to be plug
Launch terminal on OSX or Windows with adb/fastboot
Write the command fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
(3) Before rebooting your phone, insert your sd card that contain dload folder (update.app stock rom from update.zip) inside your P10/P10+
Turn off your P10/P10+
(4) Unplug the USB cable and hold vol+/vol- 5 to 10 sec or (until you see the message this device can not be trusted)
(5)Now the custom recovery updater should trigger and your P10/P10+ is updating, wait until 100% (it restart by itself).
(6)Your P10/P10+ should now boot without problem (bootloader locked)
(7) Is not finish yet, you are going to face NRD90M Test-keys that is normal, you simply need to
flash your cust.
(8) For that, we repeat the same process than before but instead of using the update.app from update.zip, you use the one from update_full_xxx-xxx_hw_xx.zip and replace the one you have on your sd card (dload folder)
(9)reboot your P10/P10+ in fastboot (with of course USB cable plug and hold vol- + power)
There you simply write the command, fastboot oem unlock yourcode. Your phone is going to reset to unlock back your bootloader and you need to go back to fastboot
(10) after that, you reflash again the recovery with customrecovery.img using the command fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
and you reboot again in the custom recovery mode (same than before) there the P10/P10+ is updating again, take a few secs
(11) the P10/P10+ will restart and boot in the UI, congrats.:good::good:
P.S : This process was not possible without proper change in recovery and manipulation, hopefully it help you
to recover your brick.

This sound interesting if this method is working both P10 and P10+. It mean that we can rebrand all of L09 models to L29 easily. Am i right? No more FunkyHuawei.

I have a problem, my P10 boots and lets me configure like it's the first time, but doesn't go anywhere from there, just keeps asking the same stuff... Pls help :/

Not sure about the rebranding, for that you need to mod your oem info and product/vendor id.
There is no need of FunkyHuawei, I actually don't support those kind of forcing.

Question about the bootloader relock
the command to relock is fastboot oem relock yourcode.
Now about your issue, did you try a wipe cache/wipe factory/reset, go into the stock recovery and do a wipe cache/wipe factory reset.

Hi neverd, I'm gonna give this method a try. Could you tell me where I can find the appropriate files for my P10 VTR-L29C636B120?
Much thanks.

Carefully, they use the same name (update.zip) but one is the full ota, the other one the ota mf (cust, etc. the one that you need to flash the second time)
Update.zip VTR-L29C636B120
Update cust/hw xxx

Thanks about the relock command. I'll try it when I recover my phone.
I tried that, but it's like I don't have the full system installed, I tried a "full" ROM on the first flash, but I don't think it was actually a full rom, it was too small, I wanted to try another one, but the file being over 4gb I can't even copy it to a fat32 sd card... If I find another version that is a little smaller, maybe I could try, but now I only have erecovery, can't access anything else, hope it's enough.

I'm having a problem at step 4, it says software install failed right after 5%.
Just to confirm what I did. Press all 3 buttons (vol up, vol down, power) on until screen shows message.
Guys check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108 it will flash the complete FULL Firmware and you also got your bootloader closed again

I'm having the same problem, can someone send me the files to the VTR-L09 C432? Or maybe the VTR-L29 if my phone supports it, I'd like the dual sim feature.
Just to make sure I'm using the right firmware.
If I find a solution I'll share it here as well btw.

Does it work for P10 Plus (VKY) ? I only see VTR oeminfo/recoveries files in the zip.
Edit : I went ahead and renamed everything in the VTR folder to VKY (except for eominfo files, since I just want to update), and it worked ! Updated from VKY-L29C432B123 to B130
Hi all,
I have the same issue software install failed right after 5%. Did anyone get past this?
What other files other than update in dload folder need to be present?
Thanks

Have a look for files :
http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=VTR&firmware_page=0
I think it is the FULL OTA required.
I still cannot get mine to go past 5% stage.

This sound interesting if this method is working both P10 and P10+. It mean that we can rebrand all of L09 models to L29 easily. Am i right? No more FunkyHuawei.

Really interested in this one too. Do you have any additional information please? As I just have plan to pull the trigger on funkyhuawei method during the next weekend... But of course I would rather use this manual method if possible.
Guys, did you flash the custom recovery before trying to update.
You really need to flash the stock recovery with the custom recovery, this fix the 5% update fail.
You can also flash recovery2 with.

Write that you need to extract customrecovery.img from customrecovery.zip. That would be understandable.
Hi,
does this work - i bricked my Huawei P10 with VTR-L29C432B113 firmware like this
Installed TWRP and i flashed magisk.zip -> that worked for a while
But on next phone reboot it says there is no space on the storage 0%
Now i cant do anything - phone is not usable..
Exept booting twrp and fastboot&rescue mode wich shows
PHONE unlocked
FRP Lock
When i try to
fastboot flash boot boot.img it says that stupid message command not allowed..
I tried to put in a SD Card with the folder dload and an update.app on it in and tried to flash it via VOL+ and VOL- but that fails
Does the provided method work or what can i do?
Thanks! chrizz

How To Guide Master Guide to Unlock Bootloader/Flash TWRP/Root Device/Flash EU ROM/Pass SafetyNet

Hi All, as this device is fairly new and there is not much clarity on things so, I decided to create a master guide as you see below. I am also attaching a PDF version of this guide as I have not formatted this XDA post to what I feel it should be like. You may download and follow that, I will keep updating things as I find.
Lets start​
1. Unlock Bootloader​1.1 Apply for Bootloader Unlock​
Enable developer settings
Go to Settings>About phone/My device> All specs> Hit MIUI Version 8 times
Access Developer Settings from Settings>Additional Settings
Enable OEM Unlocking option
Now login to your desired Mi Account that you wish it to be associated with your device (Mi account should have a mobile number registered for OTP and verification sometime asked by MI flash unlock tool)
Your unlock bootloader wait time starts now. Wait for 7 days (168 hours from the time you added MI account) to unlock bootloader
1.2 Unlocking Bootloader​So you have crossed the wait period…. Now follow below to unlock assuming you have all the USB drivers for Mi devices (usually auto installed when you connect mobile)
Warning: All your userdata (including pictures and files) will be wiped out
Download official Mi flash unlock tool from this link: https://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u1106245679/5.5.224.24/miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24.zip
Boot into Booloader: Power off your mobile then hold Volume Down + Power Button till fastboot bunny pops up
Open Mi Flash unlock tool downloaded in step 1
Sign in with same account that you used to sign in in Developer Settings in step 1.1.d. It may ask to verify your account with OTP. do it.
Click Unlock on the tool.
Your device will be unlocked and rebooted. Wait till reboot.
Congrats… you have an unlocked mobile device now
Now let’s go to Rooting your device for which we will have to flash TWRP to Mobile
2 TWRP Flash and Rooting​2.1 TWRP Flash​
Download and Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot for windows for this link: https://androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/Minimal_ADB_Fastboot_v1.4.3.zip
Download unofficial TWRP (only one available as of writing this guide) from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi....6.0_11-0_LOCAL-20220203-01-vili.img/download and rename it to twrp.img
Also download Magisk from below link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v24.0/Magisk-v24.0.apk we will use it next section for rooting.
Rename the downloaded magisk file from magisk.apk to magisk.zip and copy it to your device’s storage
Copy the above twrp.img file to Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (not necessary if you know some directory navigation using command prompt)
Boot mobile into bootloader (follow 1.2.b)
From your Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder open Cmd here.exe file to access the ADB tool
Connect your device to PC
Verify if device has connected successfully using the command below
Fastboot devices
This should return your device id
Now boot into TWRP using below commands
Fastboot boot “twrp.img” if you pasted twrp.img in minimal adb and fastboot folder
Fastboot boot “path to twrp.img” if you did not move it to the minimal adb and fastboot folder
Let the device boot to TWRP
In above step we just booted by TWRP which is temporary. Now let’s flash it to make it permanent:
Go to Advanced settings in TWRP and click Flash Current TWRP
Reboot to TWRP
2.2 TWRP Backup of Current Rom​
You should have a working TWRP
Boot to TWRP and navigate to Backup section
Select all partitions and swipe to confirm
If you see error in backing up, uncheck Data and EFS partition backup
The backup should complete successfully
Have this backup copied to a PC for emergency wipout of your mobile
2.3 Rooting/Flashing Magisk​
Go to Install in TWRP and select magisk.zip you copied in step 2.1.d
This will flash magisk and root your device. Now reboot to system from recovery
Once you have the device booted, rename the magisk.zip to magisk.apk again and install the magisk app on device
You may update if you see any updates to magisk or app
2.4 Passing Safetynet​
Download this magisk module zip from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QJHPpL4R8fcxjB35XbcpaCOipKzpvL2I/view?usp=sharing
Go to magisk app settings and enable Zygisk (beta) also enable Enforce Deny List
Select Hide the Magisk app and give any desired name for Magisk to hide its identity
Now go to modules page in Magisk app.
Select Install from source/storage option and chose the downloaded safteynet zip
Reboot
This will pass safetynet but still Indian bank apps won’t work. Keep following below for clear
Go to magisk settings and enter Configure DenyList
Add all the apps you want to hide magisk and root from (such as phonepe, Gpay)
Don’t leave any service from the selected apps unchecked
3. Flash EU Rom​Warning: All your userdata (including pictures and files) will be wiped out
A TWRP backup of current rom is recommended before following the next steps
You can see section 2.2 for the instruction on backup
Download Fastboot EU rom from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17825722713688263895
Extract all the contents in zip file to any normal folder
We will be using Bootloader/Fastboot mode. Boot into Bootloader: Power off your mobile then hold Volume Down + Power Button till Fastboot bunny pops up
Connect your device to PC
From the extracted folder Open windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat(for windows).
You may execute appropriate similar named file if you are running Linux or MacOS
The EU rom flashing process will start. Hit “Y” on keyboard to accept Formatting
Wait patiently while the PC does its Job.
You may see a long pause post “writing Cust” command depending on PC configuration. You should wait for 5 minutes at least, then try hitting any letter key on your keyboard, the process continues this way.
You may hit letter key whenever you see unusual pauses during pushing of super partition file sparse sending 1 of 9 to 9 of 9
Wait till process finishes and reboots
For TWRP and Rooting you can follow the same guide in section 2.
Updating to Miui13/Android 12 EU Rom​
Check out this guide to Update to Android 12
Happy Rooting… Njoy your device.
Lastly.. All the credit goes to respective owners, I have just compiled everything together and in an easy manner. PM me for credits.
Do let me know if you have any suggestions and corrections.
Thanks & Regards,

Quick question if you allow me.
The unlock boot loader timer starts ticking even without hooking the phone up to the mi unlock tool? Just the dev options, OEM unlock and login to mi account is sufficient?
I remember I messed around with this when I tried to unlock my Poco F1 at the time.
Thanks
Bram

Good question... I think we should hook once, that's how I unlocked. But I feel it should work without hooking as well.
Anyone should test it and update for us the other way.
When i download the TWRP and boot into TWRP (through fastboot boot "twrp.img"), my touch screen will not work anymore. How could i fix this?

Please make sure you are having latest ADB installed on your machine. The best option is to install Android Studio . Secondly make sure to enable USB debugging .
You can reboot to fastboot through adb commands.
Once you are connected to ADB enter the command below.
ADB reboot Bootloader.
This will reboot to fastboot mode.
Fastboot devices
The above command shows whether you are on fastboot or not.
Now open the unlock tool and unlock your bootloader. Else if you are confident in recovering your device. use the command below
Fastboot flashing unlock
Hope the above helps.
