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.

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:

sed -i 's/\(ro\.product\.system\.model\)=.*/\1=NEWNAME/' /system/system/build.prop

(Replace NEWNAME with the desired device name)

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.

is your device androd 10 or 9 ? probably it would work on android 9, like other old ways.
