I have a Redmi 9A (dandelion, M2006C3LG). The image at the first post does not work here.
This files are working here (DL from Telegram channel):
VENDOR_Q_DANDELION_ID.zip (OK) --- VENDOR_Global_V12.5.1.0.RCXXXM_11.zip (not working, no WLAN)
[email protected]_1.zip (OK) --- OrangeFox-R11.1_2_R_Vendor-Beta-garden.zip (not working, loop at orange start picture)
crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230131-garden-v9.1.zip (OK) --- crDroidAndroid-11.0-202212XX-garden-v7.25.zip (not working, black screen)
Black screen was no problem, could be easy fixed with TFTUnlock (BROM Mode). Auth Bypass and if needed also Kernel Unlock, then flashing original 12.0.20 at the MediaTek tab. And the image test can begin again.
What I have do:
Encrypt must be with OFR disabled. Then format data and then clear Dalvic, meta, data, internal and cache. You have now a uncrypted device, but encrypted it will have a boot loop at Redmi Logo.
Now flash the VENDOR_Q_DANDELION_ID.zip and then the crDroidAndroid-13.0-20230131-garden-v9.1.zip - reboot and it works.
That was my way. But I don't like Android 13 because the "big quick switch buttons" (or however they called).
EDIT: If phone off, then there is no battery charge display. Only the Redmi logo, but charging is ok.
EDIT2: OTG does not work.
