Unlock bootloader and flash twrp on Redmi 1s Miui 9

How to unlock bootloader and flash twrp recovery on redmi 1s running miui 9?
I've downloaded lineage os 15.1 and have all required things including twrp to flash custom rom, but I don't know how to successfully flash twrp using PC or directly with non rooted device.

My method:
A. To flash TWRP you need these tool:
1. Minimal ADB and Fastboot - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
B. You need TWRP for Armani - download: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6_hhjS3nx4IdzFHXzdfNXVCYm8
1. Download it and put it inside the folder of Minimal ADB and Fastboot (default is C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
OR
Right click the shortcut on the desktop and Open file location, from there copy the img file and paste it there.
2. Rename the zip file to twrp.zip (not twrp.zip.zip)
C. Reboot redmi 1s to fastboot
1. Shutdown phone then hold volume down key, and press and hold the power key at the same time. It will reboot automatically or boot to fastboot
2. Connect your phone to PC
D. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot
1. Run it normaly
2. type
Code:

Glad to help.

Thank you!
I will definitely try it right now and will reply you as soon as possible if it worked for me.

It did not work.
Then I tried to get information about rooting redmi 1s on mi forum.
They had a file I had to rename update.zip and flash.
I did and I rooted my device and then what I had to do is to flash twrp.
It is easy when you have root, I used flashify for it.
Then now I have lineage os 14 running on android N.
It is really smooth ROM and I'm glad I am using it.
And also, thanks for a quick reply, though it didn't work, I got many new ideas.

Can you please specify all the links and files you used to root and flash lineageOS-14.1 on Redmi 1s armani, and you need to unlock bootloader?

Better buy Mi max 3 China Rom or Global Rom?

Hi, I'd like to buy from aliexpress the Mi max 3 Phone but I've read about problem related to global fake rom.
First Question: if I will buy the phone with original china rom it will be easier to flash Xiaomi Eu rom?
Second question: The seller told me that hw will send the phone with the original Global rom. Does this indicate that bootloader is unlocked in the right way or it will be the pssibility ho have unlocke bootloader hacked and global original version?
Thank you in advance for your answer, I'm pretty newby.

From what I see it is easier to switch from the global version. The phone has 99% unlocked bootloader, so you do not have to wait for it to unlock. Uploading software from global to china and from china to eu is basically just as complicated as uploading eu to china.
the bootlader is probably unlocked using the program. Either way, users write that everything works correctly. You can block it if necessary and then unlock it yourself using the official method from xiaomi. You just have to wait a lot of hours for premission to unlock.

Thank you.
I have read that before flashing to global China I have to wipe all partitions but someone reported brick.
Any link to a detailed procedure?
Thank you in advance

Question How to root without twrp

My problem is that I have installed a custom rom that is no longer in support in XDA .
So when I tried to to boot using fastboot boot twrp.img command my device won't boot in twrp therefore I am not able to install twrp hence magisk is still not working.
Is there any other way to root my mi 11x witouht using custom recovery.

Yes. It's the twrp fastboot method.
1. First of all you need the boot.img from your ROM. For a fastboot ROM it's in the Images folder. For an OTA you have to use a payload.bin extractor.
2. Then install the magisk manager app and use patch boot.img
3. Then install the patched boot.img through fastboot

Maybe they used the wrong boot.img for their ROM. Are you using MIUI? If so it may be more difficult as you've got to get the correct version from firmware finder. Even then magisk might not like your MIUI install. I've heard people running custom ROMs able to install magisk on Mi11X. E.g HavocOS, ArrowOS etc
This is the only way to install magisk properly at the moment
Edit: if you prefer MIUI there is another alternative by flashing on of the improved MIUI ROMs (they just take MIUI and add slightly extra features and improve performance). I can't link the telegram group on XDA but you can PM me

To install twrp do this:
(pre requisites)
-driver for f3 installed;
-adb and fastboot or platform tool (preferable) on the pc;
-usb debugging enabled on the phone.
Therefore:
1) download the .img file of the twrp you want to install, I used this:
Downloads for : Xiaomi Redmi K40 / Poco f3 | AndroidFileHost.com | Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
2) rename the file to twrp.img (for convenience);
3) move the trwp.img file to the adb and fastboot folder (if you use adb) or to the platform tool folder (if you use platform);
4) always in the same folder open a cmd window (go to the address bar, type cmd and press enter);
5) after activating usb debug on the phone, turn it off, start it in fastboot (long press of Power + volume -) and connect it to the pc;
6) check if fastboot recognizes the phone with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phone code appears you can start it in twrp.
7) to start it in twrp type this command:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
8) now the phone should automatically boot into twrp, so go to Advanced> Flash Current TWRP
done, you should now have twrp installed. for the root there is this guide:

Just a mistake I was doing "fastboot boot bootpatched.img" but will try with flash instead of boot

fastboot flash boot......

If your phone can boot, then all you should need to do is temp boot from a bootpatched.img that's correct for your current software version and then direct install Magisk from the Magisk app, following the steps to root an unlocked device from here:

Reboot to bootloader (fastboot)
Connect the phone to PC
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
If already on custom ROM skip the previous steps and flash with your recovery
fastboot reboot recovery
Select Wipe data/factory reset & confirm
Go back and select Apply update from ADB
ADB sideload Cherish-OS*.zip
After installation is complete, Reboot the system.

Thanks but I don't know how to this :
" • fastboot flash boot boot.img
• fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img "
If you can tell how exactly I can do it ( detailed step by step) I'll be so thankful.

you have to enter fastboot mode of your phone. hold volume down and power button on booting. You will see in orange letters "FASTBOOT" on your display. Then connect your device to PC
the boot.img and vendor.img are files which you will find here also the newest cherish os rom version is there.
"fastboot ..." are the commands you need when your phone is in fastboot mode connected to your PC (type in Commandline)
you need Minimal adb and fastboot tools on your PC
don't forget to format Data before flashing zip file in recovery.

so , I should download the both files , boot image and the vendor image , and after that in the cmd , I just type the commands without dragging the files ?

This YouTube video helped me to install custom recovery and custom ROM on my 11 lite 5G NE Global

I watched it , but I don't know if the same method will work with the cherish recovery or not because it has 2 image files

Which 2 image files do you mean? Here are all files you need. (boot.img vendor_boot.img; just rename them) and cherishOS in Version 4.1 and 4.2
I installed it yesterday from this source:
