As Redmi as usual messes up naming convention, we ended up having three names for same device - Redmi Note 9 4G (CN), Redmi 9T (EU) and Redmi 9 Power (IN)
I had spent a day on best way to remove ads in our device and ended up reinstalling ROM altogether
I reached to Dev and he helped with progress on this here https://github.com/geoanto555/android_device_xiaomi_lime/issues/1
Usual device-specific Data Backup/unlocking/rooting warnings apply here, and this is just a guide
Req:
* SD Card or USB OTG
* Download latest Recovery https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=320361
* Download Stable ROM https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-12-0-stable-release.56191/ (You can experiment with Beta ROMs if courageous)
* Download Full fastboot MIUI image to recover phone in case required
* fastboot getvar product -> Should output "lime"
1. Unlock your phone via official unlocking tool (Yeah it still takes 7 full days)
2. Once unlocked, Boot to fastboot mode (Volume Down + Power when the phone is switched off)
3. Flash Recovery and boot TWRP using below commands
cmd>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 3.037s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 1.198s]
Finished. Total time: 4.586s
cmd>fastboot reboot-recovery
Rebooting into recovery OKAY [ 0.006s]
Finished. Total time: 0.011s
4. After rebooting to TWRP, It'll show FBE Decryption failed. Even Formatting Data wont help
5. Mount USB/SDcard. Install .zip on OTG/SDcard via TWRP
6. Format /data after ROM is flashed
7. Reboot and Profit
