Please, edit your post if you need to increment it and avoid dupes.

MD5 hash of stock rom boot.img for V12.0.4.0.QJOMIXM (global) is: e6a904938cf6ea3ed5d040ae69115131. And for V12.0.4.0.QJOINXM (india) is: 096d8d46ca1612f0ff13863fed7cf6e5.
So, they are NOT identically.

I've patched your requested boot.img. It's attached, you can download it.
Enjoy

Official stock rom boot.img and magisk patched boot.img are equivalent.
The second is just rooted.
You can have only one boot.img flashed.
This boot.img patched by me helps people that need to keep TWRP, or any other custom recovery, together official stock rom boot.img. Otherwise the custom recovery will be overwritten.

Hi, @VD171 I realise you must have very good control of your Redmi Note 9 merlin! (y)! Thank you for these patched boot.img - very good idea.
Where I have got to is that I have learned that on Linux Debian Buster I can get back to a reliable base MIUIV12.0.3.0. QJOMIXM by
flash-all.script
from within the ROM. (Other readers should understand how + why that might work before trying!)

I now see that V12.0.3.0 is not one that you regularly list. My question is really about this numbering. Is there a base version of the ROM that you favour, that gives the user best control of the device?

Thanks in advance, and many thanks for curating these threads.

I suggest you to keep on LATEST MIUI.
But, I suggest you to mix some partitions from older MIUI:
- PRELOADER: V12.0.4.0 (or older): It allows you to flash using SPFLASHTOOL without the EDL mode and bypass the authentication.

Hi! Thanks for all the things you have shared for this phone. I got an issue every time i flash this patched boot.img i get stuck in a bootloop, and the only way to get out of that is to flash the stock boot.img again. Any ideas why this is happening?

this USED to work for me, but now for some reason when I flash the 12.5 boot.img it bootloops and sometimes it says something like CMD OVERFLOW.

    Hi! Thanks for all the things you have shared for this phone. I got an issue every time i flash this patched boot.img i get stuck in a bootloop, and the only way to get out of that is to flash the stock boot.img again. Any ideas why this is happening?
