Hi, after Magisk install procedure, the resulting magisk_patched.img is much smoller then the origin boot.img (45692KB vs 131072KB). Magisk Manager 7.5.1 (267) was used. Is it OK? Thanks.

Hi friends, can you tell why if I try to unlock the bootloader via Mi Unlock app I get a message: "Please unlock 168 hours later"? (see attached screen).

I have Mi account signed on the device and all is prepared properly (Developer Options ebabled, account assigned in Unlock status).
Why do I have to wait 7 days?

OK. Sounds promising! Thank you very much for the info. I have been using Mi Mix phone few years ago and the unlocking process was working different way then [emoji106]
I have to be patient now...

Thanks for your help.
Im not sure, now I have 11.0.4.0(QJIEUXM), do I have to choose the file: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI10LiteZoom_V11.0.10.0.QJVCNXM_v11-10.zip ?
I can’t find something beginning with QJI :confused:

Can anyone help please?
1. I flashed EU MIUI 12 on a china Mi 10 Pro, should I use the boot.img from that rom?
2. I copied the boot.img file (from MIUI12 EU) to downloads. Magisk doesn't see it, it sees other files there though.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Update, I rooted my Mi 10 Pro without this exact method.
My device is a China Mi 10 Pro 8/256.
1. I couldn't install the EU ROM from TWRP, so I installed the Chinese TWRP specifically for the Mi 10 Pro.
2. Inside that version of TWRP, there is a button to root the device. So I did and then flashing the EU ROM succeeded.
3. I installed Magisk 7.5.1 APK , it seems I'm not rooted. Tried root checker, no go too.
4. Now I wanted to root, so I tried this method , but for some reason Magisk (7.5.1) couldn't see my boot.img file.
5. I uninstalled Magisk (7.5.1)
6. I flashed Magisk ver 20.4 from TWRP. Cool, but couldn't see it.
7. I installed the Magisk 7.5.1 APK , and now it appears I'm rooted.
8. Tried root checker, Magisk popped and I granted acceess, root is OK!
