Thanks pro,
In Engineer mode, I can repair IMEI, and fix null NVRAM. Then, I readback nvram, nvdata... by SPFT. Then, I flash ROM Stock, and backup nvram,nvdata... But my devices is brick. Now, i return to ROM Engineer.

Good job, my friend.
IMEI for Slot1 will not be accepted on release versions.
Just go back to engineering and erase the IMEI for slot1.
It needs to be empty.
Keeps only IMEI for slot2.
And then, it will works perfectly.
Only Xiaomi Centre can recover IMEI for slot1 if you lost it.

Newbie question - since we can run su commands trough adb shell on this rom, does anyone have idea how to try to install twrp (or some other custom recovery) with locked bootloader? I tried dd few different twrp.img's to /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 but that just gives bootloops.

Obviously, you can NOT.
If you want to flash any partition different than the original, you need to unlock bootloader.
If you try to modify your device with locked bootloader, it will get in bootloop.

YES, this is leaked but it is OFFICIAL developed and signed by xiaomi.
Only Xiaomi can sign images with xiaomi signature.
Are you insane?
Do you mean halabtech has any developer on its team?
LOL, LOL, LOL.
Halabtech is just a (good) copier.
I've never seen anything developed by halabtech team.
Except some bat files compiled to exe... LOL, LOL, LOL.

Does an engineering firmware/rom even exist for the Redmi 10X 5G? Is there any site where I can get/download it for free (no scam/clickbait)? I really need it badly.

I installed pixelplusui on miui 12.0.1 android 11 and I lost both imei, I made a backup of nvram and nvdata but when restoring them my imei is not repaired, this method can work for me?

If you want to use pixelplusui, you can write both imei by yourself.
If you want to use stock MIUI, just restore original nvram and erase nvdata.

I followed the tutorial to repair the imei using the engineer rom, but when I started the rom after flashing with spflashtool I surprisingly recovered the imei and the mobile network so I think it is a problem with the latest version of pixelplusiu or I just made a mistake in it installation process. Is there a problem if I install a custom rom on miui 12.0.1 android 11?

I'm not sure, my friend.
I don't like custom roms, I prefer stock roms
So, I don't know the answer.
I'm sorry.

So, I don't know the answer.
I'm sorry.

First off thanks for your effort and support for this device, I want to ask you in case you know a few things:
Now I can't boot to some ROMs (KangOS, Nusantara, Pixel Extended, LineageFE) (Only could with HykonOS); the others redirect me to either TWRP or OFR and I don't want to flash the entire ROM to fix that, I flashed the vbmeta, format, flashed Magisk with no avail.
- Will this firmware allows me to boot completely to system so after can flash other ROM without set it up all again?
- Which file I have to avoid to flash, maybe preloader?
- Any of the 4 scatter and also the scatter attached is accepted for SP Flash tool (v5,1728), what other can I use? Or I have to download the official ROM to use it on it, though.
- What is the right method to enter to download mode using just buttons without open the back cover?
