command no, because it's saved on server, but if you try to unlock, it will give you the remaining time in Mi Unlocking Tool.
Thanks. I don't know but the Unlock button in MI app is always gray (inactivated). It's been a week now. Waiting...

try to install drive in Mi unlocker tool, and then re-try.
You are always helpful.

I found out that I couldn't unlock because of the phone number missing in registration. However when I tried to add my phone number in Xiaomi account, their verification SMS never arrived. Spent all my 5 attempts but no SMS. So nowI got to wait another 24 hours. Oh boy...

Sorry to hijack this thread.

Is it possible to run the newest Magisk? I tried flashing but it bootloops.
Depends on the order in which it is flashed with MIUI.
I always found to install Magisk on MIUI you had to boot MIUI first at least once, then it would install fine.

Another option might be to decrypt storage after flashing MIUI before boot, then restart and try installing Magisk again.

In 10 years since I've been rooting Androids I have never seen an easier method to root as it is with method 2 of patched boot.
Not too mention that it's not very invasive root. A lot of apps cannot detect root anymore if you magisk hide them. On my 9T I was never able to use banking apps or PS remote play.

So thanks a lot Whyle.

Is flash boot enough, or is it needed to do flash boot_a and flash boot_b?

Hello, I would like to ask, how can I patch boot.img by myself? I tried the following steps: a clean system, install magisk manager, select the test version channel(v21.0), patch the boot.img, reboot to fastboot and flash it in, and it stuck in first screen(logo). Are there any details missing? K30S

Thank you *very* much for your guide, and your work in making this possible. After my 168h wait, I finally got to rooting my Mi 10T Pro today. Thanks to your work on TWRP, and thanks to your safetynet fix, you get three likes from me. One for every one of your three topics on the subject.
Love you.

I'm sorry about maybe a stupid question. I bought this phone today and I know I have to wait a week to unlock the bootloader and do the root.
But later, when I upload custom recovery and do this root, can I still easily use Xiaomi software update? OTA is unlikely to work, but is it enough to download a zip pack and install it? And will I not lose the root and custom recovery then?
And the second question. Does the fingerprint reader work after unlocking the bootloader? I'm asking because Mi Unlocker warns you that the fingerprint reader will stop working.
