can i change change device model in the rom files before flashing it ? anyone can help "where to find the Model Name ?

i think i should change:
build.prop
default.prop
prop.default
system.prop

right ?
 
1. Why do you think we would disclose that info to you?
2. Posting 3 times in a row is a good way to get banned. Don't repeat it.

i did deal with some rom porting issue some years ago and i did make some working port roms. i believe i can do it again. but the systems are changed a little bit. i was looking for ASSAYYED_KITCHEN or some other kitchen application. find Xiaomi Flashable Firmware Creator in another page.
anyway i could find a faster and better way with your tips.

and sorry for the flood, no one replied my topic so i had to :)

Of course it's a secret. Our work is already being stolen by Russians, we have no interest in helping anyone use our hard work in "their" ROMs without our permission.

Mount system in TWRP, connect to ADB and write this command:
Code:
sed -i 's/\(ro\.product\.system\.model\)=.*/\1=NEWNAME/' /system/system/build.prop
(Replace NEWNAME with the desired device name)

'sed' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

should it be 'set' ?

No. It shouldn't be 'set'... It's 'sed' (stream editor)...
You forgot to access "adb shell" first.

i can do other things like pull build.pro file.. but still sed is not recognized...

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd /adb

C:\adb>sed -i 's/\(ro\.product\.system\.model\)=.*/\1=Mi9Lite/' /system/system/build.prop

C:\adb>adb shell
~ # [6nsed -i 's/\(ro\.product\.system\.model\)=.*/\1=Mi9Lite/' /system/system/buil
d.prop
sed: can't create temp file '/system/system/build.prop76Cylh': No such file or directory
~ # [6n

What is '[6nsed'?

Also, TWRP already has full root access...

I have tried without and with 'adb shell' command. When I enter adb shell ' it appears like that '

adb shell
~ # [6n

Then I pasted : sed -i 's/\(ro\.product\.system\.model\)=.*/\1=Mi9Lite/' /system/system/buil
d.prop

Didn't work again.

Don't know what your problem is, it works fine for me, I use it often.
