Question Lock bootloader on change ROM from Vodafone to EEA - Xiaomi 11T Pro

Hello dears! A pleasure to be here.
I recently got a Xiaomi 11T Pro from Vodafone (MIUI Global 12.5.6 Estable RKDEUVF) and I want to change it to the global one (I have read that operator roms does not work properly good) so If Im not wrong It has to be vili_eea_global_images_V12.5.20.0.RKDEUXM which is the similar one but from Xiaomi.
Things that I would like to now before proceeding unlocking bootloader + flashing:
Is the vodafone rom considered as a "custom rom"? Or is the same as the XM version but with little modifications
Is there any problem if I choose "clean all and lock" option from the Mi Flash Tool. I have read many post with problems from people locking again the bootloader even being from the same version (EU in this case). So the question here would be if it has to be the same same exact original version MIUI Global 12.5.6 Estable RKDEUVF or it only takes into account if its Chinese, EU, global or other versions. I think here I need a little of explanation since I do not know exactly what causes the break on phones.
Can I proceed unlocking, flashing the version previously commented and locking again with no risk?
Is it safer choosing "clean all and lock" opcion from Mi Flash Tool or is it prefered to use "fastboot oem lock" command from tools.
PD: I'm assuming this process has to be done 100% via fastboot, cause there is no way to do it via normal updater.
Thanks for your time!

I did the same thing there's my post.
The procedure is correct unlock the bootloader use the latest version of miflash (october 2021).
I managed to flash 12.5.16 and not 12.5.20 (It gave me problems)
Be careful of rollback control (check first).
If you have pro version (only pro) If something goes wrong you can use EDL mode (fastboot OEM EDL).
I used "fastboot OEM lock" to lock bootloader.
After installing the Rom I received the Ota update without any problem.

Can you explain me a little bit the process you did, step by step.
And I do not understand what you mean with rollback control, how can I proceed with that?
Thanks

This Is a good guide for rollback. It's in italian I think you can translate.

The steps are:
1.Download the image of the Rom using app "miui downloader" and save on PC (fastboot image)
2.backup your data
3. Unlock bootloader After xiaomi permission with xiaomi unlock software
4. Verify anti rollback checking version of the Rom and version installed
5.download xiaomi flash tools here: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/
(last version 08.21)
6. Flash new Rom with "clean all"
7. Verify that phone starts correctly only make a check
8. Relock bootloader with fastboot (all data wipe)
it worked for me, I didn't have a real guide. Only problem my phone went into anti-rollback and I had to do a cleaning with EDL

when running custom rom, locking bootloader is the worst thing to do

Is not custom Rom but official european of xiaomi.... Is the same used by vodafone

I just wanted to add here that I bought this phone from 3 network and I didn't even need to unlock and then relock the bootloader. I just needed to tap up miui logo 7-10 times on the update screen. Download the recovery update. On the update screen I used the 'select update package' (or similar) option, selected the recovery update file and updated. I'm now off the dreaded carrier software with little effort, despite downloading a ridiculous amount of files with the expectation of it being a pain. This also saved me having to wait the 168hrs for the bootloader unlock.

Obviously need to make sure you have the correct ROM, for me it needed to have rkdeuxm, but for me I compared and this has worked well.

On the 27/09th, the authorization to unlock the bootloader comes out, I'm studying everything before performing the procedure

See here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/

You will have to modify the script of the rom or use the Twrp.
Try Xiaomi EU rom better than stock.

Hello, first apologies for my English, I was stuck with the NRD90 test keys and I could solve it as follows, first you must block the bootloader again, this in order to enable the OEM Lock option, then re-unlock the bootloader , Then flash the TWRP 3.1.1.0 of the Huawei Mate8, once installed, from the recovery, you have to install the HwOUC.APK (EMUI Updater VERSION 17.7.31) and then the Firmware Finder & Firmaware Finder Proxy, finally select with the application And download the corresponding FW. Now my phone works with Nougat 7.0, I hope this manual is of some use
Hola, primero disculpas por mi ingles, yo estuve atascado con el NRD90 test keys y pude solucionarlo de la siguiente manera, primero debes bloquear nuevamente el bootloader, esto con el fin de poder habilitar la opción de Lock OEM, luego vuelves a desbloquear el bootloader, después flash el TWRP 3.1.1.0 del Huawei Mate8, una vez instalado, desde el recovery, hay que instalar el HwOUC.APK (EMUI Updater VERSION 17.7.31) y luego el Firmware Finder & Firmaware Finder Proxy, finalmente seleccionar con la aplicación y descargar el FW correspondiente. ahora mi telefono funciona con Nougat 7.0, espero este manual les sirva de algo
is the only solution to this problem is dc phoenix?

PRA LX3 Question.

Hi there
I posted earlier on the P9 forums.
So I got a P9 Lite from latin america, the model number its PRA LX3, Build number its PRA LX3 C69 B110, came with Android 7 and EMUI 5. searching on google showed me little results but what I can assume its that its a P8 Lite 2017, the box and in the settings it says its a P9 Lite but the CPU its the same as the P8, and all around all the specs are the same as the P8.
I want to root this device, it is my first Huawei device so I'm new to how they work. So far I have successfully unlocked the bootloader using the official way. On the rooting guide I see its only for PRA LX1 devices so i have not followed it through fearing a brick. I also see I need to erase FRP, can someone point me in the right direction? Only guide I could find was DC Unlocker software but I dont want to pay 4 euros lol.
Thanks for your time!.
Hi,
I got P9 Lite 2017. PRA-LX3. Comp. 605 b102. Argentina.
Take a look at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=71995752#post71995752
Installed and working TWRP SUPERSU BUSYBOX
Hey man thanks!
Did you had to erase FRP? Any bootloops?
No, no problem at all.
1. Unlock bootloader.
2. Hard reset with huawei recovery - no reboot
3. Shutdown and then boot in fastboot mode
4. Install TWRP vía fastboot
5. Reboot in twrp recovery
6. Push supersu zip file vía adb
7. Flash supersu
Restart for the first time. Now you have twrp and root.
Good luck

Ajuda para atualizar meu dispositivo (após Root/Magisk/build.prop)

Hello everyone, I need a little help. I bought a MiA2 in October 2018, which unlocked the bootloader, installed the Magisk module and changed the line of code through build.prop to get the Camera2Api. I was stuck in the November 2018 update and would like to know, in your opinion what would be the best method for me to have my device updated again and consequently get Android 9 installed?

Download the latest flashable from miui roms
http://en.miui.com/download-353.html
which is 10.0.8.0, clean flash it via Mi tool and after update via ota to 10.0.9.0. Important is at mi flash to check clean all not clean all and relock also not keep data because u r changing from oreo to pie. Other solution is to restore original boot.img, factory reset (because changing from oreo to pie) and update via ota to pie. You have to restore boot.img by flashing original boot.img via fastboot and not by magisk because causes bootloop. I think the clean flash is the better solution.

Please Help Me!..

There are Open Kirin Treble Oreo ROMs (RR, LOS) for Huawei/Honor phones:

Installation instructions require:
1) OK Oreo ROMs can only be installed over Huawei stock Oreo (not over stock Nougat)
2) OK ROM must be flashed by Fastboot, not from TWRP (btw, TWRP for Huawei Oreo is different than TWRP for Nougat because of different partitions names, sizes, etc)

First, go back to stocl Nougat, and please read again my previous answer - I gave you link for HWOTA7 method for rebranding from stock L09/L19 to AL10 and then upgrading toAL10c00 b540 Oreo
If you don't like unlocked FRP, then go back to stock Nougat and re-lock Bootliader (and then lock FRP back).
But as long as you do rooting, installing custom ROMs, or rebranding to that AL10, you must have unlocked Bootloader and for unlocked Bootliader you must have also unlocked FRP

(Re)installing/OTA updating some stock firmwares lock back both OEM/FRP and Bootloader, but it depends on the firmware itself (Huawei who prepare them).
If you already installed latest firmware for your cust by eRecovery, you can only try to do Factory reset from stock Recovery or eRecovery
Otherwise, rolling back to Marshmallow (and after that updating again to Nougat) shoulf fix the problem with disabled OEM unlock option (I had it twice but in the opposite way, OEM was locked but its option was disabled)
However, having unlocked FRP is not a big trouble. You can still open Bootloader and root/flash, etc - problem would be if OEM option was disabled but locked - then you could not unlock Bootloader and flash anything from Fastboot
With FRP=Factory Reset Protection unlocked you (only) have:
- 'annoying' note that phone is not secure while booting
- ability to start Factory reset from Recovery and eRecovery (with licked FRP, Factory reset is only allowed once you login to the System, from Settings or Project menu)
- ability to unlock Bootloader and flash things
So, what if i wanna install Android 7 custom rom? How can i do it? Can i do it with TWRP'S special Open Kirin Edition directly from Stock Rom?
Can i upgrade my phone to Android 8 after i install Android 7 custom rom first or i have to do it with Rebrand / Update Tool first?
Because rebrand / update tool (or SRK Tool i am not sure) look so complicated and i am afraid to make hardbricked my phone... (i backed up my phone with HiSuite but i am not sure can i recover my phone with it if i unbrick my phone?)
I am using EVA-L09C464B389 rom now.... On the other hand, i cant be sure which AL10 (Oreo) rom is right for me, because when i search in russian page you offered, there is more than one alternative...
I hope i can explain what i mean with my poor English...

How do you install Noigat custom ROM? - decide which custom ROM you want to use and then find its documentation and learn there how it must be installed.
And/or, find the forum/thread about that custom ROM and read the OP posts, and ask your questions there
Which AL10 ROM you want to install...bxs on Russian forum there are alternatives? - If you want to follow XDA guide, then READ it and you will find answer there.
But if you want to follow Russian guide, then register to the Russian forum and ask your questions there
Good night and good by, I'm disconnecting from this thread and will no more read/answer - good luck
Dear @zgfg
First of all thanks for all your answers, but I am not use Russian forum same time with here. The page you advice me (in xda), and the application in there, using Russian webpage to dl stock roms... Sorry if I make you angry...

Question Xiaomi 11T Pro - Upgrading from Android 12 to Android 13 through Fastboot

Hello everyone,
I have a Xiaomi 11T Pro (Model number - 2107113SG, 8GB ram, 256GB rom, Snapdragon 888 ; european model).
Currently, the phone is running MIUI 13 (Android 12, 13.0.21.0.SKDEUXM with no updates available), but i want to flash MIUI 14 (Android 13, 14.0.5.0.TKDEUXM - already tried to use recovery ROM method but i got an error: can't verify update - can't install this stable ROM - i know 13.0.21.0.SKDEUXM has issues).
I understand the process of flashing (Installing ADB Drivers, enabling USB debugging, unlocking bootloader, booting phone to fastboot mode and then flashing firmware with either MiFlashtool or .bat script).
All of the data on the phone is backupped (i don't mind any data loss)
But i happen to have two big questions.
1: Will I be able to re-lock the bootloader after I flash the firmware? Firmware is official and it is also EEA version.
2: Will I be able to recieve OTA updates after I flash the firmware? Or the phone will recognise that I flashed the firmware and OTA updates will be blocked?
Thanks in advance.
You can flash any stock rom and version and re lock the bootloader on this device.
And the OTA will work.
