[GUIDE] Unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery

PREREQUISITES:
- Nubia Z17 device.
- USB type C cable.
- Computer with Windows and adb-fastboot drivers installed and configured (there are a lot of guides on the Internet).
- Nubia Z17 Pack -> You have the mirrors at the end of the post
STEPS:
1.- Download the pack with all the necessary stuff.
2.- Decompress the folder that is inside the rar.
3.- Open that folder, press SHIFT and at the same time do right click. Click on open a powershell... or open a command prompt...
NOTE: if appears the first option you have to send the command: cmd
4.- Put the phone on fastboot mode (power and vol+ at same time) and connect the phone to the computer.
5.- Send the command fastboot devices and it should give you something like this if the drivers are OK:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6.- Send this command to unlock bootloader: fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX563J
Now you have your bootloader unlocked!
7.- Send this command to flash TWRP: fastboot flash recovery TWRP_recovery.img
Now you have the TWRP recovery flashed!
8.- To reboot into recovery you have to choose with volume buttons the option to reboot recovery and press power.
There is a little problem, the recovery is in Chinese and I don't know you, but I don't understand Chinese :silly: So let's change the language.
9.- When it displays the first screen, something like this pic, you have to press the second button and choose your favourite language (I always recommend English)
10.- Now you have to root the phone, go to Advanced > Tools and press Root device.
Now you have your phone's bootloader unlocked, the TWRP recovery flashed and root access!

u shud root the phone . open twrp / advance / tools / root device.

after i unlock bootloader i flash twrp and gapps. But when i restart the phone, the phone stop on the logo nubia and stop. Why?

the developer of the twrp said that you should root the phone first after you flashed something in the recovery mode.

I bricked phone
I bought my phone in India so I presume that it is indian variant. First installed TWRP and LOS and everything was ok. Then tried with magisk but got ERROR 1 cannot mount system. So I taught that maybe flashing the latest firmware will change something. So I flashed firmware. And brick. I attach photos. Please kindly help me

I unbricked the device by "unbrick" guide
But why there is problem with flashing magisk?

Hi all. I'm considering buying this phone but bootloader & root is a must.
It's possible to unlock bootloader in the EU (global) version? I read that EU and India versions are the same but I'm not 100% sure about this.
Does anyone from Europe unlocked it?
Regards

O E M unlock
In my Indian Rm5P /Settings/Additional Settings/Developers Options there is a provision for enabling O E M Unlock.What is this meant for? Whether I have to enable this before starting the in-depth tool?Or whether the BootLoader will be unlocked automatically if I enable this?
---------- Po

If I unlock bootloader and flash TWRP, this TWRP can be used as my stock recovery further flashing zips(not custom ROMs)? Also will Bank apps work in this set up without any problems?

Hi TacoNikky
Thank you very much for the tool and the detailed description. I tried to install the TWRP for over a week now and i am at my wits end. It is a Xiaomi Mi 8SE, running on MIUI 11.0.3.0 Stable (PEBCNXM) with Android 9 with security patch level 2019-09-01.
I installed the tool and i selected the recovery0423 version. (Later, I tried also other versions).
Unfortunately the following error occured: can not found file flash_all_lock.bat
Thank you for any help.

How to rollback from Android 10 to 9?

Hello people,
I wish to know step by step how to rollback my devices to Android 9 official version.
1. I know that my bootloader need to be unlocked (is it possible on Android 10)?
2. How to install the official rom and where to find?
3. Would it work like the official with locked bootloader?
Please share your experience since and the way did you done it ??? since Android 10 on my Mi A2 lite have been working very bad even though I have erased all data and reset it.
Appreciate any information, have a good day (stay safe)

I am also going to downgrade it but not getting the time
Try Xiaomi Flash Tool.

1. Yes, all you have to do is unlock OEM in developer settings, then boot to fastboot by turning off your phone and pressing power and vol- buttons at the same time, then open up adb in cmd and write "fastboot oem unlock" (it will wipe your data, unless you're still holding vol- button)
2. You install it by simply downloading it and unpacking, then copying it's directory to adb and choosing which option would you like, I recommend flash_all.bat, full command should look similiar
D:\daisy\daisy_global_images_V11.0.7.0.QDLMIXM_10.0\flash_all.bat
You can get every single fastboot Image from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
3. Yes it will work like an official with locked bootloader, only diffirence is that it might not have apps like google play music, also with unlocked bootloader you will be able to use magisk and get for example
Google camera app
Here you can download ADB
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Personally I didn't had a single problem with flashing Android One through fastboot, and personally I prefer that way since xiaomi flash tools need a phone that's in edl mode which later on you have to exit manually on your own (at least in my case, maybe others don't have this problem)

2. You install it by simply downloading it and unpacking, then copying it's directory to adb and choosing which option would you like, I recommend flash_all.bat, full command should look similiar
D:\daisy\daisy_global_images_V11.0.7.0.QDLMIXM_10.0\flash_all.bat
You can get every single fastboot Image from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
3. Yes it will work like an official with locked bootloader, only diffirence is that it might not have apps like google play music, also with unlocked bootloader you will be able to use magisk and get for example
Google camera app
Here you can download ADB

Personally I didn't had a single problem with flashing Android One through fastboot, and personally I prefer that way since xiaomi flash tools need a phone that's in edl mode which later on you have to exit manually on your own (at least in my case, maybe others don't have this problem)

Thank you for your help I will try now to fix it up

UPDATE I would give you a guidance how I managed since I had an issue with miflash application (maybe I'm the only one )
If you are following my steps I'm NOT RESPONSIBLE for any damage that may occur during the process!!!
After a quite a while of time I managed to rollback to the Anroid 8.1.0 daisy ( here is the rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871 ) .
As for beggining I had a problem with most newest MIFLASH tools, since it shows an error as soon you load application and all about certain "log" folder missing from the downloaded files.
The way to solve this issue after testing a program on multiple systems ( Win 7 & Win 10), I've resolved it in following steps (working on Win 10) :
1. Download and install MiFlash20160830 from https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/ ( Don't forget to install ADB and drivers on your PC otherwise won't work
2. Extract and install to system
3. Run the program and connect the phone while in fastboot mode ( shut down phone, wait 10 seconds and then press volume down & power button, should see "FASTBOOT" and android avatar ) and press refresh on right top corner (On the MiFlash on PC).
4. Go to the installation files (C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash <- in my case) and copy the log file
5. Then install the newest MiFlash ( from the website https://www.xiaomiflash.com/downloads/ ) and extract it
6. Paste the log folder into the directory of newest MiFlash and run Miflash
7. Carefully browse and select the extracted rom folder, than select the folder and select "clean all and lock" (in right bottom corner)
8. Power off phone and go into the fastboot mode ( volume down & power )
9. Connect phone to the computer via USB and click refresh on Miflash (should recognize you phone)
10. Click flash and let it do the work (Don't disconnect don't interrupt )
11. When is done disconnect the phone and hold power button until phone reboots and you phone is ready! Enjoy
Sorry for being so descriptive it may help the noobs like me

Nice man!! I want to try it. Do you know if back to Android 8.1 can cause some security problems on Mi A2 Lite?
After the first update(8.1 to 9.0) a lots of problems comes. The first one: Call Recorders stop work!
Now I'm with the last Android 10 update, and my cell phone is a tash. I cant use it. Lot of bugs!
I need to change the android Version(back to 8.1), install a MIUI stock, or buy a new phone(I cant do it now!!). I think this is my first and my last Xiaomi Phone.

When it comes to security, you would need to unlock bootloader ( which means that all of the warranty would be gone). On top of that you can install some custom roms that may have some potential malware so be careful.
Nevertheless when it comes to stock roms, I never had a problem when it comes to the security, it may show up some bugs from time to time, but otherwise should run as official version...
Well the phone is pretty much outdated so it's usual that some of them won't work properly.
Nevertheless in the past with Android One phones was more than smooth and buggless. Now we see that as soon as xiaomi start to release an update it seems like they don't want to invest time to pretest the phone on the new system. It seems like MIUI is their best option...

Well the reason is simple. After each update my phone was much more slower and buggy. On the Android 10 the ram management was awful (as soon as you go out of the application, system close it). A lot of bugs, slow.
I've tried to connect customer service, they replied me to reset the phone and try again, but most of the problems are the same.
I won't suggest you to update.
Search out the form there was a subject about Android 10 on Mi a2 lite...

MiFlash uses fastboot writing.
SP Flash Tool uses eMMC writing.

Try using sp flash tool.
But if you are on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to bypass authorization and flash in EDL mode: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/

Xiaomi flash tool is an official tool specifically only for Xiaomi devices, it can flash in fastboot mode and download mode both.
Sp flash is an unofficial tool which works for almost every device with Mediatek chipset, and it can flash only in download mode.

You are using wrong DA file.
See "Download-Agent (DA) file" in "Downloads".

Probably an unusual question:
I hate android 10/11, they simply abuse of "security" bs and prevents us of doing what we want with our phones.
Is it possible to get rid of dynamic partitions and install some android 9 (Pie) from old days of freedom?

Do you mean some rom like GSI ?
I have no ideia, my friend.
But, android 9, 10, 11 and 12 are totally compatible.
So, I think yes, you can.

Yes, I mean GSI, but without the super partition, where every partition goes to root (boot, system, vendor, userdata, etc)
