Safe to use Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools to lock bootloader - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Is it safe to use Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools to lock bootloader and install original global rom with same program?
Just asking of curiosity after I saw it in the program today.
Best regards

If you are going to Flash stock global ROM, just use MIFlashTool from miui site, it will clear and lock the device as default. You will need just the Fastboot Rom, and you will find it in the same site.

FASTBOOT Method
Remember to pick the rom version of your device (Global, China, EEA, India, Rusia, etc).

First time building a ROM

I really want to put a custom ROM on my phone (Asus ZenFone Laser 2 - ZE500KL), obviously without bricking it. Because I can't find RessurectionRemix or LineageOS already built, I'm going to try building by myself.
I can't find any good tutorials, but I tried this one, but I got an error right when installing the libraries... Because I know no one is going to build it for me, can someone suggests a step by step tutorial? (I have amateur Linux skills, I'm not any pro, but not any noob)
You can find LineageOS/AOKP/RR for ZE500KL here. here
Make sure you get the Z00ED version.

Well, I found that post but didn't notice there was an "Z00ED" in the title... By the way, some steps would be good to install it, because if I brick this, I'm dead... I know the steps, but making sure of them would be great...

You unlock the bootloader then you flash TWRP.. After that you wipe DATA/CACHE/DALVICK CACHE and you flash your ROM and GAPPS (ARM64).

So, if something go wrong in the process, I would just need to do the exact same process but with the stock ROM right?
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked before flashing twrp, go to fastboot and type this
fastboot oem device-info
if you see this -->> (bootloader)Device unlocked: true
then you are unlocked, then proceed to flash your device twrp latest version.

(Sorry for these questions, but I have to make sure of everything)
Yes, It's unlocked. Tomorrow I'll try flashing TWRP and then Lineage OS...
I found the TWRP here.
If someone could give feedback about this site I would be grateful!

You need to flash the stock recovery and then flash the stock ROM. There are plenty of tutorials on XDA to help you with that so don't worry.. You can find more in the General section of this forum

The second on (androidfilehost)
Before installing make sure you are on Android 6.0 and you unlocked your bootloader using the official unlock: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE500KL/0518-1134_SIGNED_UnlockTool_ZE500KL_AndroidM.apk
You should find your twrp here in xda or twrp.me

(The bootloader is unlocked)
Just 2 more things I wanna make sure:
1. Do I need to root to flash LineageOS?
2. On that LineageOS post, what is the AOKP? xD I already checked the website but I didn't get what it is, and if it comes with the ROM...
You dont need to root because the rom is already pre rooted. But you can change root to SuperSU or PHH Superuser if you want.
AOKP are custom ROM developers/modders.

1: you don't need to root
2: AOKP is a custom ROM based on CyanogenMod/LineageOs but with extra features (Like Resurrection Remix has)
Thank you very much to everyone, Im just rocking LineageOS 14.1 on my smartphone! Until now, no errors!

Its mostly not official
can i go from chinese stable to this without brick
What's the deal with this - is it safe?
What is the difference between this and xiaomi.eu rom? Does it have less bloat than china version?
Then also this is a TWRP ROM,
Are original ROMs TWRP?
Its actually funny lol, I posted the link to the global rom first.
People used the link and posted it all over the place.

I tried to install this zip on twrp but it's stuck on the mi logo after flashing. My previous MIUI is on non antirollback china rom 9.6.9.0. Does anyone know how to flash this?

I think that you can't go from china to global (and vice versa) with recovery rom (which that is). You need fastboot one flashing with mi flash tool.
For all those who want to install global rom with a working modem (for calls and cellular, internet etc.) please follow the guide: here
if you dont have Anti-rollback yet: Instead of installing 9.6.12.0 install 9.6.11.0

It's official, passes verification with 4 Xiaomi servers and installs no problem on Global devices with locked bootloader via stock recovery.

English sealed box with "Global Version" sticker, European style charger plug, locked bootloader, running Global OEDMIFD MIUI.
If that's your phone then yes, you can flash it with stock Xiaomi recovery either via System update > Chose package from storage or in recovery(see this).
BTW no ARB on 9.6.6.0.
What should I do to install global Rom if I have a Chinese original Rom? Any instructions please.

Help me find a suitable twrp version for global mi 9t

Hey guys Hope your all good
I have bought a new mi 9t the global one( MIUI Global 10.3.11) (PFJMIXM) and I am not sure right now which version is suitable. I have already read those multiple threads about the twrp
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/how-to/twrp-versions-xiaomi-mi-9t-t3955946/page7
, but still not sure which one is suitable.(knowing that I know how to unlock the bootloader)
Plus I need a way to get back to the original MIUI if anything bad happens such as soft bricking the device.
Any way thanks in advance for your help.:good:
though I'd suggest you the 4pda twrp since probably most of the users use it, one user reported an issue with restoring backups as you're mentioning it in your question. but you can use fastboot or miflash tool to return to your original factory rom whenever you desire that.

Hello
Sorry for my English, I have the same mi 9t the global one (MIUI Global 10.3.11) (PFJMIXM) and twrp from 4PDA and Magisk. everything works great, no problems. Installation is very easy, there is a manual in the zip file from 4PDA, one click and it installs itself I recommend

Yes this is the one go ahead yarayess ?
You need to unlock the bootloader before attempting to flash twrp. Did you do that?

After flashing any other rom can i get back to stock miui 10.3.11 by restoring the twrp backup?
Will it not cause any bootlooping or ARB ISSUE?

Miui 11 downgrade

Has anybody successfuly downgraded Miui 11.0.1.0 global back to 10? And how...... of course
I've downgraded to miui 10 when miui 11 came out due to battery drain issues.
In order to do that, you will need your phone unlocked, the zip folder with the verison you want to downgrade and the MiFlash desktop app

My advice is if anyone is still on MIUI version 10...do not upgrade to MIUI 11.
Hey Jake, can you post back here and confirm if nokuteshimo's advice worked?

Disclaimer: I've never tried to downgrade MIUI version (actually I don't even use MIUI but a custom rom)
If you're bootloader is locked you need to unlock it, here you find how: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/one-redmi-note-7-unlock-bootloader-t3890751
Once your bootloader is unlocked you need:
miflash tools: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ (here you can find also some tutorial about how to use it, just search in the menu)
and the fastboot rom that you want to install (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/lavender/)
