How to Write IMEI ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a serious scenario but what you need is Mobileuncle MTK IMEI Write Tool (PC Software) & Mobile Uncle Tools (Mobile App).
1. Download & extract the Mobileuncle MTK IMEI Write Tool (PC Software) file on your PC.
2. Open the folder & run the file as administrator, which will lead to the pop up of the following window.
3. The simple program is not in English, so simply enter Y & press enter.
4. Next it will ask to enter the IMEI which you can locate either on your device box price sticker or on the sticker on your device below the battery. In case its a dual SIM device, it will ask you to enter IMEI2. Punch in the correct IMEI & press enter.
5. Once you punch in the correct required details the program terminates & creates a backup file by the name of IMEI.bak in the folder.
6. Copy this file to your device SD Card.
7. Download & install Mobile Uncle Tools on your device.
8. Open the app & click on IMEI Backup Restore (MTK).
9. It will open a new screen where in Backup & Restore options are listed. Use the any of the Restore option.

Hi, second file MobileUncle says it requires password at winrar. Which one is it ? Thanks in advance
Helllo, like the previous poster, I too get a password protected message when I try to unzip the second file. So I downloaded and installed the latest version from the Mobileuncle web site.
But when I click on IMEI Backup Restore (MTK) I get a "not supported" message.
The phone is, of course, Lenovo K3 Note. I lost the IMEI when I reflashed it recently.
I am not responsible for bricked devices and dead SD cards. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

will this allow me for ota updates??
Is there any guide to restore serial number ?
@ yourkk Could you please explain this "this rom is not meant for daily uses so flash any fastboot rom now." Do you mean that after your steps, mobile should be booting to fastboot and then stock firmware can be flashed?

A guide to unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and root your Redmi Note 8/8T device :
1. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER :
Backup your data first. Unlocking will erase your data.
- Enable Developer Options in your phone by tapping the "MIUI Version" 7 times in About Phone.
- Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options.
- Enable OEM Unlocking, USB Debugging and USB Debugging (Security Settings) .
- Also add account in Mi Unlock Status (Can be found in Developer Options).
- Install the required ADB and Fastboot drivers in your PC from here.
- Download Mi Unlock to PC from here, and sign in with your Mi Account.
- Shut down your phone manually, and hold volume down key and power button to enter Fastboot mode.
- Connect your phone to PC using USB cable and click "Unlock" in Mi Unlock Tool.
- You will be given a specific time (168 hours usually).
- Wait for the given time. Make sure to use your phone and don't log out of your mi account from the phone or reset your device.
- Once waiting time is over, redo Unlock process.
- Your phone will be unlocked successfully.
2. FLASHING TWRP :
- Install the required ADB and Fastboot drivers in your PC if not already in step 1. from here.
- Download TWRP from here.
- Put that TWRP in the ADB and Fastboot installed folder (mostly C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot).
- Rename that recovery(TWRP file) to "recovery" for convenience (optional).
- Click on Start Menu, type cmd
- Right click and select Run as administrator
- Then type:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot
- Now Connect your phone to PC With USB Debugging on (keep phone on).
- Type:
Code:
adb devices
and accept the pop up on phone's screen.
- Now reboot your phone to Fastboot mode either manually by shutting down phone and then holding volume down key and power button or by:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
- Once in Fastboot mode type:
Code:
fastboot devices
- Your device ID will be visible on Screen.
- Then type(hit ENTER after each line):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
- Now your phone will boot into TWRP.
OPTIONAL STEPS (Not Recommended): Encryption is always recommended for better security. However if you don't want encryption in your device, follow these steps. Again, not recommended.
- In TWRP go to Wipe and select Format Data(don't go to advanced). Type yes and format data. [This process will format all your data so make sure your data is backed up]
- Go back to TWRP home and Reboot > Recovery.(Don't reboot system or else you will have to repeat whole process again).
- Done
3. ROOTING :
- Download Magisk zip to PC from here.
- Download Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt disabler from here. (Only required if you followed optional steps.)
- When in TWRP transfer the file(s) to phone and go to Install.
- Here select Magisk zip file and swipe to flash.
- Then select Universal DM-Verity and ForceEncrypt disabler zip and swipe to flash(Make sure to flash this at last or else phone won't boot). (Only required if you followed optional steps.)
- Reboot system.
- Done. Debloat. Enjoy

If this helped you then hit the Thanks Button. Good Luck.
Thanks for guide. Anyway, latest versions of Windows 10 don't have "Open command prompt here" option. Instead, they have PowerShell. I don't know how PowerShell will react with ADB, so, for these Windows 10 is better to:
Click on Start Menu, type cmd
Right click with mouse and choose "Run as administrator"
Type these commands (hit ENTER after each line):
cd\
cd "program files (x86)
cd "minimal adb and fastboot"
Now the user is on right folder.
--------------------------------
A question: I'm on stock ROM and have a Google Apps account on my phone, and I'm currently using stock Second Space feature to handle it. As encryption is mandatory to use a Google Apps account, I can't use "disable encryption". Or will Second Space be encrypted even if "main account" isn't? There are any problems to use Magisk with encrypted phone?

totally forgot about the powershell thing . Thanks to you I updated my post.
What do you mean by Google Apps account. Do you mean google account??. I'm using a decrypted phone right now and google apps work just fine with decryption too.
There aren't any problems to use Magisk with encrypted phone(I used it myself for a good week or so before decrypting).
Unfortunately as of now I don't have the answer to your second space question. Will let you know once I get it myself.

You must update the command to change folder on cmd. Put the path in quotes, or else the users will receive an error!
Code:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
About Google Apps, is also called Google for Work, or Work Profile. Is MANDATORY to have the phone encrypted, or the account won't sync.
Thank you for feedback!

You're right. Tested right now and worked. Maybe newer Win10 versions are "smarter" than older... who knows...
Well, about the second space, thanks, but you don't need to check with an Google Apps account.
If your phone is decrypted, just open Second Space, configuring it for first time use as you like. Then, on Second Space, go Settings -> Password and security -> privacy. Check if encryption is active.
Thanks again!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial.. now i m in "waiting mode" for unlocking bootloader ?

Yes you can root on stock rom. Rooting is not rom specific. You can root on any rom.
Hope it helps.

dm-verity is just required to stop the stock mi recovery from coming back. Hence it's just for MIUI based roms. However disable forceencrypt helps you get rid of force encryption of miui or other custom roms(so that you can access internal storage from recovery too if you are flashing something). The zip provided has both features in one file. Just rename the file to whatever you want to disable(see instructions here).
Regarding that tool on github, I have never used it personally as I like doing each step myself so if something goes wrong I know the last working step and from there I can figure out what went wrong. Using the tool might or might not work for you. Use at your own risk.

Make sure to atleast keep your phone turned on.
I will try it to root my device to get rid off the annoying ads. But my ordered cell phone does not come yet and I still patient to wait it.
Question :
1. Can I use the Mi Mover application to migrate data from an old cellphone (Redmi Note 5) to Redmi Note 8?
2. Whether migrating data (via Mi Mover) before root or do data migration after root ? Because my old RN5 already rooted, have it TWRP and Magisk too.

I suggest you to move AFTER you root your new device, because to have root, you must unlock the bootloader. And when you unlock the bootloader, all data is lost.

So its mean, first the device RN8 must do unlock the bootloader, then root it, next is migration data from old cellphone.
Is that the right way?
Is the migration data from old cellphone, will included the third party application from that old cellphone too? Is it will compatible on RN8?
Or just migration important data only (like email account + Mi account + contact + notes, etc) and the application 3rd party should be installed one by one on the RN8 exacly as RN5?
Sorry for asked to much becuse I dont want to make a mistake on the new devices.
Just guide me into the right way, please..
Thanks for the respond..:good:

In fact, I never used Mi Mover. As each device has its features, I prefer to install apps one by one. My data is on cloud, so for me is easyer.
I suggest you to do the transfer, only for tests, just after you receive your phone. These videos may help you also:

yes so I have recently flashed orangefox about 2 weeks ago or something. I personally don't use anything other than official twrp, but I flashed orangefox because of it's miui OTA update feature. You can flash if you are planning on staying on stock rom with a decrypted device, as I have dirty flashed stock rom with my decrypted device but it always ends up in bootloop with official twrp. I have to format data everytime. Surprisingly Orangefox solves this issue. Also if you are a fan of theming then it provides a few custom fonts, colors and themes. However if your device is encrypted there's absolutely no reason to switch from official to any other recovery unless you want to customize the looks of your recovery.

No need TWRP or O.F for rooting.
Root***:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
***
This is the most common current method.
On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required.

What original rooting guide?
Yep, normally but you may have to use another version of Magisk.

No need TWRP or O.F for rooting.
Root***:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM or other rom.
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.
***
This is the most common current method.
On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required.

I am also having issues like OP
My phone Redmi 9 M2003J15SS Miui 13.0.2 (Stable)
Already patched via magisk and copy that image to pc and run fastboot with exact command..
But after sending some files, it says
Sending 'boot_ab' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.538s]
Writing 'boot_ab' FAILED (remote: 'This partition doesn't exist')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Can you help with that?
Do I have to open a new thread? I am new here. I just see your valuable post and seems the same scenario as OP except for the model number.
Also can you help me to provide these On some devices, vbmeta,disable-verity are required. if needed.
This is my first time and i am a noob
Use this command but it looks like you have to use vbmeta,disable-verity.

Nope, if your device is rooted, now.
Hey all.
I tried getting the Fastboot rom onto my phone but nothing works. I keep getting errors like **FAILED (Error reading sparse file)**
At this point I don't know what to do, I might go to Xiaomi to show them it and possibly get them to do something about it.
EDIT!!!:
I fixed it, changed folder name to x and worked. Thanks to NOSS8 for trying to help

Check here that everything is correct or use the bat file included in the Fastboot rom.

Post the Miflash log (Miflash/log folder).
Sure.
Post the largest log in size.

For some reason it didn't post.
I'll just put it on mediafire.
