SUCCESS! Device: Mi 11 Pro Steps on Windows 10 PC: 1. After receiving the device I applied for unlock and the 7 days timer started 2. The device was running 12.0 CN rom and I updated it via OTA update to 12.5.2 CN 3. When the timer ran out I unlocked and went on to setup the device and did a...

as far as I understood if it shows that it is on slot b then you should run the command "fastboot set_active a"

I just checked now while the device is still locked when I type "fastboot getvar current-slot" command it says "current-slot: a". Does that mean I don't have to run the command "fastboot set_active a" ?

Thanks

I am also going to be the testdummie . I applied for unlock while the device was on 12.0 CN and after that updated to 12.5 CN. Tomorrow after the unlock period ends I'll try to probably flash the global 12.0 on top of 12.5 CN. I checked for anti-roll-back (ARB) protection and the value is at 1...

As far as I know when you go to update through OTA it always takes you to TWRP to flash it, so my guess is it won't work until they don't release TWRP for Mi 11

What is your advice for yet still not bricked device?

Thank you for your sacrifice! I also really appreciate it. I am hoping to need the EDL flash only once so I'll ask the guy to flash the Global 12.0.1 unless a miracle happens and my first flashing goes without the need for EDL. I think this whole sacrifice shows well to what extent we all go to...

I think I will just try to follow the official procedure after the unlock and if I run into problems I'll go down the rabbit hole to try other more exotic methods and I already got in touch in advance with the Russian guy to see what I need to prepare in case I brick it so that he can do the EDL...

My Mi 11 Pro is now updated to stock CN 12.5. Would I be able to flash Global 12.0. on top of that?

As I am preparing for bricking my device next week when the unlock timer runs out I was researching a little bit and came across this article: https://miui.blog/any-devices/mi-account-authorization-tips/ Can anyone tell if this is how you check if your account can flash through EDL? I did the...

Everyone please specify the exact device while posting! There seem to be different success rates between the Mi 11 / Pro & Ultra.

I would also like to know that. I updated the device to 12.5 and my 7 days unlock timer didn't get interrupted. I didn't touch anything in developer options prior to the update. Also didn't had to re-enable USB Debugging after the update. I will follow the clean installation instructions as...

cool to hear because I have the same device. Can you please repeat how did you end up applying for the unlock and when did you update to 12.5 before installing the EU rom?

btw I clicked to update to V 12.5, do I need to disable the Unlock OEM before restarting for the update? I want to do everything from scratch but I need clear instructions
