Is tere no official twrp ?

Due to the lack of kernel source code, there is no official TWRP. Only unofficial builds available.
The included version of this post is already very outdated. The most current is 3.7.0, which allows the installation and decryption of A12, A12L and A13 ROMS at the cost of losing support for A11

Can´t you flash TWRP? Or can´t you flash a custom ROM? as the tittle in the forum says. Provide screenshots.

What is the recommended twrp version for the Note 11 on Android 11? Looks like not everyone is familiar with the issue that the latest twrp versions don't work on A11 phones.

The link is in the first post.

At which part of the process does it erase your data? Before or after the 7 days? Are there any risks? (on my last phone, Moto G7 Power, after some failed attempts my SIM/IMEI became unusable)

After the 7 days (168 hrs), you started the process to unlock bootloader, you'll be able to do it, and after that you unlock the bootloader, the process does format data automatically. From all the numerous Xiaomi devices I owned, I never experienced those things; failed attempts nor loosing IMEI.

It seems, there is no custom ROMs for your device, you may stick to a GSI instead. This is from a quick (not extensive) search.

If I try to unlock bootloader again before the 7-day period ends, will it say how many hours I have left or re-start the counter?

EDIT: For anyone out there, it doesn't mess up the process.

Unless you sign out or format data.
