WARNINGS:
First of all you should BACKUP IMEI.
Remember to NEVER touch the NVRAM.
People who does NOT backup imei or touches the NVRAM, are susceptible to the loss of IMEI.
If you try to share NVDATA between different devices, it may cause bootloop due verification of IMEI (slot1).
If you already lost IMEI, you probably may need to write IMEI again.
Works with:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 and ALL other MediaTek devices which uses SECCFG for unlocking/locking bootloader.
How does it work ?
After you turn on the device, the booting procedures checks if the device is unlocked and if there is any modified partition.
If your device is locked and any partition is modified, the device will not boot.
If your device is unlocked, the device will boot perfectly.
On booting, the device verifies if the device is unlocked or not, inside the partition: SECCFG.
After booting procedures, the partition SECCFG can NOT be read.
Due this, some variable settings are written to the partition NVDATA, because the system can read the partition NVDATA.
These variable settings contain details about locked/unlocked bootlader as many other details about the developer settings and some sensitive data like IMEI, Wifi MAC and Bluetooth MAC.
So, we just need to mix an unlocked SECCFG together a locked NVDATA.
How to do ? (Without formatting data)
1. Be sure to have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
2. Backup the partition: SECCFG.
3. Format the partition: SECCFG. (Begin Address: 0x17800000 Format Length: 0x800000)
4. Format the partition NVDATA. (Begin Address: 0xc4a2000 Format Length: : 0x4000000)
5. Boot the device. It will write a new NVDATA.
6. Turn off the device.
7. Flash the partition SECCFG (with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER).
Done !

How to do ? (Formatting data)
1. Be sure to have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
2. Backup the partition: SECCFG.
3. Backup your files and data, if you want.
4. Now, RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER. Or just erase the partition: SECCFG.
5. Format user data. It will erase NVDATA too.
6. Boot the device once, you don't need to accept terms or enter in system. It will write a new NVDATA.
7. Turn off the device.
8. Flash the partition SECCFG (with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER).
Done !

Since momo is closed source, you should not care for its results.
Momo uses many and many detections by native methods and they are hidden to anyone.
So, no one banking app can use momo detections.
But, the answer is: NO, momo can NOT detect unlocked bootloader using my method. And no other app or any other method can detect unlocked bootloader using my method.
Enjoy
Ps: Momo is already on version 4.3.1:

I don't know which menu you are describing, but on some Xiaomi devices there is a menu that allows you to reboot to bootloader, recovery, fastbootd etc and do some tests. I think it is part of MIUI Recovery. On some phones it is in Chinese by default (mostly those bought in China, but also some bought outside China), but you can change the language to English by pressing the 中文 button.

simply follow this guide -> LINK
- allow OEM unlock in the dev-settings (hit 5 times build number to see)
- allow usb debugging
- reboot to fastboot
- send "fastboot devices" command
- send "fastboot oem unlock" -> acknowledge
- send "fastboot flashing unlock" -> acknowledge
- flash the twrp image "fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_image.img"
- reboot into twrp by power of the device
- after that press vol+ up and power button (if i remember correct.. ) to get into twrp
- now u need a sd-card (micro) put no verity opt encrypt on it and magisk
- Backup all partitions u find.
- format data partition to get the size
- install magisk
- install no verity opt...
reboot
BV9600 should be rooted. Took me serveral times to get it working, because u need directly after "Flashing unlock command" to get the twrp stuff done.

First u need to go to fastboot mode, to unlock "OEM UNLOCK"
This is easy via adb
-> reboot fastboot
Did u install the correct driver? (ADB driver) is ur device listed?
i tried repacking it myself but with no luck so far, also tried various treble GSI, all booting on my BV9600Pro and basically working but mobile data and phone are broken so that's not an option for now
I don’t understand why unblock the bootloader at all if everything is installed on the MTK platform using the SP Flash Tool !?
Why these dances with adb and fastboot? if a everything is done much easier ...
You do not install the factory software using adb ? not ?? so why can't TWRP be installed and installed using the SP Flash Tool!? Why complicate things?
Root with sp Flash tool
Hi please Anyone could explain this procedure with Sp Flash Tool and post it?

Because the vendor (Blackview) locks the bootloader (like any other brand does) and does not allow installing any other recovery without it.!?

Is this a statement or a question? Sorry, I do not know English and I use a translator ..
II repeat once again, in order to install TWRP you do not need to unlock the bootloader!
it installs without problems using the SP Flash Tool
and this is not an assumption but a statement!
My first copy of the smartphone received TWRP. It was on my copy that all the first tests of TWRP and ROOT were conducted.

I'm glad to hear that it works that way to you. But that doesn't worked for me. So i wrote the way i took, to root. Let the others choose, wich way works for them. :fingers-crossed::good:
I am using another MTK device and SP FlashTool is great it lets you recover from any software brick. So I will advice people to use this method.
I am planning on buying bv9600 pro and having twrp ported and root is a good start to custom roms.
The touch driver issue on twrp should be easily solved with the good kernel module for the twrp. And official twrp support would be nice.
Subscribed to the thread will see where it goes.
hi guys, can you share a clean system twrp backup of bv9600? because my USB is damaged and i can not use sp flash tool to clean restore. thanks!
Hi, i try to root my bv9600 pro, but all i end up is on reboot the system restores to factory no TWRP or anything on it. I connected it to MTKdroidtools and it complains about a file /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restores recovery and obviously after it the system too.
Thanks for any help
edit: LOL nevermind, working fine now, don't know what was going wrong, in a last try just downloaded the latest stable magisk again. Thanks AMDFenics for the howto

#5. Go to SPFLASHTOOL and Flash what you want to flash. Remeber to plug the usb cable only and DON'T press any key. If you keep keys untouched the preloader-V12.0.4.0 will flash in download mode, so you don't need to bypass the edl mode.

But, android 9, 10, 11 and 12 are totally compatible.

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

Hello. I understand but I am noob and want to make sure I dont commit mistakes. I will use method 2. have miui 12.0.6, global phone Redmi Note 9 -Checked-. I downloaded scatter file "MERLIN--MT6768_Android_scatter--full--VD171.txt", download agent "DA_VD171--3.3001.2020-07-02020-07-14.bin", and put them on sp flash tool. did UNCHECK "LIB DA match" and UNCHECK "Storage Lite Cycle". Can I proceed to format persist and frp partitions following your steps or I need to flash something before? Am I missing something? It seems easy and a very unknown method. If I do it all carefully, are they serious risks of bricking phone? is it prudent to backup using readback first? Why do most "technicians" use server methods to unlock xiaomi account? Really thanks, I was looking for a solution months ago. My device is not blocked but I lost my sim -not at my name- and didnt have a email associated so this seems to be my unique option. Thanks, thanks, thanks!!

If you are unsure, just backup them using the readback first.
But, you do NOT need to flash anything before of the format.

Hi thanks for the link. But my phone is bricked, can't enter recovery or fastboot mode. So the only solution here is a read firmware or scatter file.

Simply... You can't without root.
To get root (permanent root) you must unlock your bootloader........
Please, read this post to understand what i'm talking about https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/nokia-g21-development.4424031/
I think that today there's no way to unlock G10/G20/G21 bootloader. Then, no root or custom recovery can be build.
Maybe, @mvikrant97 can share with us some info (PM).
I unlocked my g20 TA-1343 by taking a hundred tiny screws out , shorting the test point, and using MTK Client 1.6
hyperlink of the link i pastedhttps://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
I only took it apart because the other option was send it back to HMD
But I don't know how to flash the bin files with magisk or whatever as they're not valid images. but the thing is basically root if i felt like learning.
