For users with hardbricked/system has destroyed redmi 9c

I also recommend that you don't use any kind of TWRP, they usually cause hardbricks, switch to fast boot and do everything there...
Even if it takes more work temporarily, it will cause you less headache.
It's really easy to root through fastboot and it's much safer, besides not having to format your phone, just patch the boot img through magisk, and use a vbmeta
1 -fastboot flash patched-magisk-boot.img (boot.img here)
2 -fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verification flash vbmeta (vbmeta.img here)
I'm not going to put the files, but if you look, you'll probably find it, and just follow this and it will work

Didn't work for me sadly. I have a redmi 9 activ (cattail), coudn't understand the video and the closed captions are unavailable so I tried following it visually. I downloaded the roms from xiaomi firmware updater website, all 3 available for this device, which are firmware, vendor and official. Tried to load the scatter file and on all 3 of them it keeps returning me the error STATUS_SCATTER_FILE_INVALID (-1073545215), MSP ERROE CODE: 0x00, and also tried using all 4 other flash tool versions provided on that website on the video description all of them failed.
Are you sure that you downloaded the fastboot rom for cattail?
Here is the direct download link for the Fastboot rom for cattail - https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.18....TINXM_20220826.0000.00_10.0_in_b1c7409a05.tgz
omg it was the tgz file... a format I've never seen before had no idea you could just decompress that like a .zip or .rar
I kept getting this error status_sec_img_too_large
some sources online said to disable cust
I did, it apparently flashed ok, but it still wont turn on or anything

Nope. No fastboot, no recovery, nothing. Only being recognized by the brom bypass and sp flash tools. Another topic on hovatek suggesting try every recovery image possible. Well, here I go try, then. Everyone available on xiaomi firmware updater website.
All the best
Imma sharing my experience, I recently got my cattail bricked, it came to a point where I had no choice but to believe that the device is merely dead (emmc is corrupted).
After a few days, I ended up at this post - https://www.hovatek.com/blog/my-experience-unbricking-a-dead-boot-lg-stylo-6/, and tried the command given by the OP, and my device BOOTED!
(You can get the preloader for your device by downloading the tgz file and then extracting it; inside the images/ folder)
