Redmi Note 9
I have one particular scenario and several questions involving this:

I managed to return back to custom rom using Xiaomi Flash Tool and a 12.0.4.0 version of the MIUI 12 also bootloader unlocked. I saw this post and decided to change roms again. Only this time it requires TWRP (since several roms needed Permissiver_v4.zip to avoid bootloop for some reason) I wanted to flash TWRP, and then, fastboot flash that specific rom and flash permissiver via TWRP. The questions are:

1.) Will flashing Permissiver on an unofficial TWRP work since the 12.0.4.0 update or older seems compatible with the recovery?
2.) Since Erfan's GSI ROM recommends root users to flash permissiver as a way to change SElinux from Enforcing to Permissive before booting up, for you, what is the best alternative for Permissiver without flashing via TWRP since it has major issues when flashing on Redmi Note 9?
3.) Does flashing rom via fastboot and flashing permissiver via TWRP work?

You can't downgrade your miui version without unlocked bootloader. For this, you need unlocked bootloader and use fastboot for flashing older version. You don't need any permissive patcher, everything is working fine on higher miui versions. Everything you need to do is flash some partition from older versions and newer versions will works perfectly. I am sorry about custom rom, but I don't like it and I will never use it.

If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, TWRP will not work.

If you want to keep TWRP working on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to flash the stock rom lk partition using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower lk partition version).
Here, are LK images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4218925/

If you want to disable TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery partition.
Here, are RECOVERY images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4204671/

If your device keep booting in recovery (or blackscreen), you need to erase misc partition.
Here, is the guide for erasing MISC partition: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/

Good luck

Read the reply again, I've already answered it.
There is no V12.0.40.0, the correct version is V12.0.4.0.
About flashing, it will depend on the changes made by the zip file.
You need to try for to know.
Please, try reading it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4223077/

Good luck

My suggestion:
Update to MIUI V12.0.7.0.QJOMIXM and use TWRP v3.4.2b-1213 by wzsx15.

I didn't flash vbmeta. I will do and try again. I'm using ADB/ Fastboot tool. So first, I should flash vbmeta image and then, TWRP. Do I'm right? In which partition I need to flash vbmeta? (boot, recovery, system, etc.) Thanks!

Evern with unlocked bootloader, Vbmeta verifies if any partition has changed, if it was, then it reboots the device, causing a bootloop.
You need to patch vbmeta if you want to apply changes to your device.

Here, you can find patched vbmeta for MERLIN:

Should i need to flash vbmeta before flashing recovery or after flashing recovery? It wasn't clear there.

Should i need to flash vbmeta before flashing recovery or after flashing recovery? It wasn't clear there.

The vbmeta is so simple, it can only do two things: allow the beginning of the boot, or not.
If you flash the stock vbmeta without disabled verity and disabled verification, your device will be bricked.
Vbmeta verifies if any partition has changed, if it was, then it reboots the device, causing a bootloop.
You really need to patch vbmeta if you want to apply changes to your device.

    I have one particular scenario and several questions involving this:

    I managed to return back to custom rom using Xiaomi Flash Tool and a 12.0.4.0 version of the MIUI 12 also bootloader unlocked. I saw this post and decided to change roms again. Only this time it requires TWRP (since several roms needed Permissiver_v4.zip to avoid bootloop for some reason) I wanted to flash TWRP, and then, fastboot flash that specific rom and flash permissiver via TWRP. The questions are:

    1.) Will flashing Permissiver on an unofficial TWRP work since the 12.0.4.0 update or older seems compatible with the recovery?
    2.) Since Erfan's GSI ROM recommends root users to flash permissiver as a way to change SElinux from Enforcing to Permissive before booting up, for you, what is the best alternative for Permissiver without flashing via TWRP since it has major issues when flashing on Redmi Note 9?
    3.) Does flashing rom via fastboot and flashing permissiver via TWRP work?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    You can't downgrade your miui version without unlocked bootloader. For this, you need unlocked bootloader and use fastboot for flashing older version. You don't need any permissive patcher, everything is working fine on higher miui versions. Everything you need to do is flash some partition from older versions and newer versions will works perfectly. I am sorry about custom rom, but I don't like it and I will never use it.

    If you are using V12.0.5.0 or higher, TWRP will not work.

    If you want to keep TWRP working on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to flash the stock rom lk partition using V12.0.4.0 (or lower). (It will works perfectly with lower lk partition version).
    Here, are LK images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4218925/

    If you want to disable TWRP, you need to flash stock rom recovery partition.
    Here, are RECOVERY images for flashing: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4204671/

    If your device keep booting in recovery (or blackscreen), you need to erase misc partition.
    Here, is the guide for erasing MISC partition: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4209299/

    Good luck

    One more question..

    1. Does the Unofficial twrp work? I mean if I managed to flash twrp on Redmi Note 9 12.0.40.0, can it flash several zip files?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Read the reply again, I've already answered it.
    There is no V12.0.40.0, the correct version is V12.0.4.0.
    About flashing, it will depend on the changes made by the zip file.
    You need to try for to know.

    Thanks so much for all these info, I will check it out properly. I'm exactly on this MIUI version (12.0.7.0 QJOMIXM Global). So I will try to flash the TWRP you suggested me. Thanks again for your advise, is very much appreciated!
