I was facing the same issue on my Windows 10. To solve the issue run the same command in a windows 7 PC. It worked for me 100%. i wasted the entire day searching for the solution. but switching to good'ol windows 7 pc fixed it.
Can someone help me..I'm stuck after the following command..
./fastboot - disabled-verity - vbmeta flash-verification-enabled vbmeta.img
Command prompt says unknown command -
PS: I modified like this.. ./fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img everything went smooth, but rootchecker says no root access. What might be the problem?
PS: I run magisk app, now it's been rooted.
Edit: Magisk installation is lost after sometime. No root access anymore. Guide need update. Had to follow other method. Thanks to @4j17h for helping me.
Is it possibleto unlock the bootloader without the depth test apk part?
Okay I can enter TWRP after following the first part of the guide....
until I followed the Magisk guide, then I cant enter TWRP anymore...
Also, does anyone knows how to remove that irritating red flashing saying that you rooted your device?

Hi,

Need help
Hi, everybody. Really need help.
There is a phone Realme X Lite. Write that it is Realme 3 Pro for the Chinese market, as well as firmware.
My version was: RMX1851_11_A.05
Tried to flash RMX1851EX_11_OTA_0150_all_2Zfcensdoezk.ozip, recovery gave an error, *_0140_* wrote that the current version is newer.
In depth test APK on the version out of the box wrote that this version of the phone is not supported, so the bootloader could not unlock.
But in the official website came across an offer to join the testing of Android Q
r1.realme.net/general/20190522/1558492614147.pdf
There are two files, the second for rollback.
I installed P2Q, everything went well, but the SnapDragon camera is used and it is terrible if there is not enough light. In depth test is not even installed, apparently not supported in the new version.
I decided to roll back, chose in Recovery Q2P archive, there were no errors, but after rebooting the phone hangs on the initial screen saver and after 10 minutes throws in the recovery with the error "Data error, select wipe data to recovery system". Wipe doesn't help. The same with other archives for Realme 3 Pro.
Also found RMX1851_11_A.12_190423_abecd1fa.ofp for firmware via MsmDownloadTool, but it requires authorization and support refuses to call login details.
Can who faced a similar problem on this or other phone.
Please help, pay for the time spent =)
do you have tutorial to remove bloatware/pre-installed in RM 3 Pro ?
No bootloader
Hi, I tried to unlock the bootloader of my Realme 3 Pro on latest version A15, but something went wrong after the Depth Test app.
When I try to boot the bootloader, it only shows me a monkey icon, with letters in chinese (I guess), with something like 6 10 written, then it reboot.
Tried to install stock A14, but nothing changed.
Would be glad if someone know a solution.

If you're rooted then no worries, just use TiBu to uninstall all those bloatwares.

Hello...!!!! Do you know why the phone does not go into fastboot mode when you start the depth test? It restarts in system mode. Thank you.

I have exactly the same problem, I don't know what to do...
Sharing this guide seems quite late but since xda red magic threads taught me a lot about the rooting and corrupted stuffs, I think it would not hurt to return something back to this community.
This is my attempt to compile people's responses that helped other people here which are scattered around forums.
Myself included also tinkered a lot on this device and literally go back here on this guide to lessen headaches.
EDIT: Tested a lot of times with V5.08 and V5.09 Android R versions
REMINDER: Tested on Android 9, no clues yet on Android 10 and 11
WHEN TO USE?
Use this guide to restore your phone to boot in Android OS again normally without wiping data, retaining your apps, games intact
Requirements:
- Windows computer. NOTE: Done this using Windows 10, so I'm not exactly sure if latest ADB works the same on Windows 7.
- Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S battery charge should be at 50% above at least.
- You need a USB cable to connect your phone to PC. XDA Users reported better with USB 2.0 port
NOTE: Can be used also on 3S. I just don't have 3S so I haven't tested it on actual 3S.
Download latest the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from Android Developers site.
1.) Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2.) Click Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows.
3.) Click the checkbox beside 'I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions'
and click DOWNLOAD ANDROID SDK PLATFORM-TOOLS FOR WINDOWS
*Current version as of December 12, 2020
platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip
4.) Create a folder in C:\ Drive and name it ADB. Extract platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows.zip inside ADB folder.
*NOTE: rxx.x.x on platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows depends on the current version available on Android Developers site.
5.) On your Windows desktop, press the Window logo button on your keyboard, type 'cmd'. Right-click on Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
7.) On command prompt, type 'cd c:\ADB' and press Enter. *type without quotes *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
8.) Connect your Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S to a USB 2.0 port.
9.) Wait for Windows to install drivers of your phone. If a CD Drive showed up on "This PC / My Computer", double-click on it and install the driver.
10.) Type 'adb reboot bootloader' and press Enter. *type without quotes
11.) Go back to your command prompt. Type 'fastboot devices'. It should show your phone's serial number and a 'fastboot' word. This means your PC can properly communicate with your Nubia Red Magic 3. *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
12.) Get your ROM ready. Download from these official links if you haven't already.
IMPORTANT: Try to remember the specific version of ROM your Red Magic has.
Because for example if the currently installed is Android 11 (R) but you used the lower version say Android 10 or 9, flashing will proceed but it will not boot to Android OS

I think I encountered this problem also when going from Android 11 (V5.11) to Android 10 (V3.34). What worked for me is the tool posted on nubia bbs.
It's on chinese but I put some screenshots on this link to be able to use it.
Red Magic 3 - Mediafire
To use the tool, put your Red Magic 3 on fastboot mode.
How to boot on Fastboot
1.) Turn off your NRM3.
2.) HOLD Volume down and power
3.) Your NRM3 should boot on fastboot
And for google play store, I'm currently using 5.09 and successfully root it with g-apps. Flashing magisk and g-apps is working ong V3.34 and V5.09.
I had problem about less charger mA on 3 charger and cables so strange , so today i did buy another cable and same thing less mA like 100 should be 3000 , so i did use one charger adapter rampow for try , when i did put charger less again but the screen get blocked and reboot , when it restarted i did see that if i put to charger again also with orginal charger and cable will block screen and reboot so i did try to reset and install Europe & Asia: V212 , when did get 100% will show that " Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot " ,this happen if you put one not original cable or charger i did discovery ,now the problem is if i put the cable on laptop for flash install roms windows will not detected the new hardware of red magic so how can i fix that now

Sharing this guide seems quite late but since xda red magic threads taught me a lot about the rooting and corrupted stuffs, I think it would not hurt to return something back to this community.
This is my attempt to compile people's responses that helped other people here which are scattered around forums.
Myself included also tinkered a lot on this device and literally go back here on this guide to lessen headaches.
EDIT: Tested a lot of times with V5.08 and V5.09 Android R versions
REMINDER: Tested on Android 9, no clues yet on Android 10 and 11
WHEN TO USE?
Use this guide to restore your phone to boot in Android OS again normally without wiping data, retaining your apps, games intact
Requirements:
- Windows computer. NOTE: Done this using Windows 10, so I'm not exactly sure if latest ADB works the same on Windows 7.
- Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S battery charge should be at 50% above at least.
- You need a USB cable to connect your phone to PC. XDA Users reported better with USB 2.0 port
NOTE: Can be used also on 3S. I just don't have 3S so I haven't tested it on actual 3S.
Download latest the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) from Android Developers site.
1.) Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2.) Click Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows.
3.) Click the checkbox beside 'I have read and agree with the above terms and conditions'
and click DOWNLOAD ANDROID SDK PLATFORM-TOOLS FOR WINDOWS
*Current version as of December 12, 2020
platform-tools_r30.0.5-windows.zip
4.) Create a folder in C:\ Drive and name it ADB. Extract platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows.zip inside ADB folder.
*NOTE: rxx.x.x on platform-tools_rxx.x.x-windows depends on the current version available on Android Developers site.
5.) On your Windows desktop, press the Window logo button on your keyboard, type 'cmd'. Right-click on Command Prompt and click Run as administrator.
7.) On command prompt, type 'cd c:\ADB' and press Enter. *type without quotes *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
8.) Connect your Nubia Red Magic 3 or 3S to a USB 2.0 port.
9.) Wait for Windows to install drivers of your phone. If a CD Drive showed up on "This PC / My Computer", double-click on it and install the driver.
10.) Type 'adb reboot bootloader' and press Enter. *type without quotes
11.) Go back to your command prompt. Type 'fastboot devices'. It should show your phone's serial number and a 'fastboot' word. This means your PC can properly communicate with your Nubia Red Magic 3. *DO NOT CLOSE Command prompt!
12.) Get your ROM ready. Download from these official links if you haven't already.
IMPORTANT: Try to remember the specific version of ROM your Red Magic has.
Because for example if the currently installed is Android 11 (R) but you used the lower version say Android 10 or 9, flashing will proceed but it will not boot to Android OS
For Global, Europe and North America versions:
REDMAGIC 3 Global ROM flash instructions - REDMAGIC (Global)
Want to flash your REDMAGIC device? Here's how. NOTE: Please proceed with caution.

13.) Extract the zip file to any folder you want. Get inside it and copy the following:
* parameter.img
* boot.img
* recovery.img
* splash.img
* dtbo.img
* vbmeta.img
* NON-HLOS.bin
* dspso.bin
14.) Continuing from the step above, paste the files you copied to ADB folder you created from step 4.
15.) Go back to your command prompt. And type and press Enter the below commands one by one:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
fastboot erase parameter
fastboot flash parameter parameter.img
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase recovery

Why erase is important: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/161103/what-fastboot-erase-actually-does#161115
*Disconnect the USB-C cable from your NRM3/3S
16.) Your phone still on fastboot, press volume down to choose "Reboot to recovery mode" and press power button to confirm.
17.) Your phone should boot to recovery. On the recovery Main Menu, press volume down to choose 'Wipe Data', choose Wipe cache and also User partition.
18.) After the wipe is successful, copy the ROM zip file to your USB flash drive. Insert your USB Flash drive to your OTG USB-C adapter. Then finally insert it to your Nubia Red Magic 3/3S USB-C port.
19.) Your phone still on recovery, select "Choose Update Package" and specify the ROM zip file in your USB OTG device.
20.) Wait for the system installation to finish.

I see you upgraded to Android 11 CN then downgraded to Android 9 again. You need the TWRP from baidu guide regarding downgrading from A11.
Here's the link. Google Drive - TWRP from Baidu
DM me if you're having problems with TWRP.

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL]
HOW TO INSTALL
LINEAGEOS 16 BETA 6 NO GAPPS
ON HUAWEI DEVICES
17th December 2020
Authored by: RK aka Klorofill_YUM aka Purrrturbed
Tested on the following devices:
Mate 10 Lite (Kirin 659 SoC)
SPECIAL NOTE #1: To unlock the bootloader the device must be on a firmware earlier than Android 8, thus Android 7, or Android 6, Android 5 will be fine, if using the DC-Unlocker method.
Additionally, the device must be with a security patch earlier than 1 June 2018. Make sure device is supported by DC-Unlocker, check here (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones)
SPECIAL CREDIT TO USER "Chaosdave34" *see comments: Unlocking the bootloader is possible on Android 8 using the PotatoNV method.
SPECIAL NOTE #2: To install LineageOS the device must be on EMUI 8, therefore on Android 8 with an unlocked bootloader. Additionally, the device must be a supported device - please check OpenKirin’s devices list. All of this considered: in order to satisfy these 2 special requirements this may result in the need for both downgrading and upgrading firmware throughout the following steps. Also, keep in mind: TWRP and other custom recoveries are not supported! Please ensure that the device’s stock recovery installed. Please do not use TWRP or any custom recovery, the following install method will work perfectly fine with only the stock recovery installed. Make sure device is supported by OpenKirin, check here (See link: 4.https://openkirin.net/devices/)
SPECIAL NOTE #3: It is required that the device being used in is supported by both DC-Unlocker and OpenKirin, if the device does not satisfy both of those requirements, this tutorial is not for that devices. Many files that are mentioned throughout this tutorial are included in the 'Packed by RK' folder. The method is this tutorial is not officially supported by OpenKirin. The Author has no affiliation with OpenKirin or DC-Unlocker. Try at your own risk, the author does not take responsibility for bricked devices.
On the Android device: Turn on "Enable OEM unlock" & "USB Debugging" options, they are turned on from developer options.
On the PC: Install HiSuite onto a PC via plugging in the Huawei phone to a PC - This will install all of the required drivers
Backup any device data to be kept. Installing an OpenKirin ROM for the first time requires a factory reset!
On the PC: Install ADB & Fastboot using 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3 (see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979) Downloads: Version 1.4.3 (see link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037)
On the PC: Install process for adb: Run program (Require administrator privileges), then Press Y/Yes to install ADB and Fastboot or N/No to skip, then Press Y/Yes to install ADB system-wide or N/No for current user only, then Press Y/Yes to install Drivers or N/No to skip, and finally Continue Driver installation and 15 seconds passed - finished!
Notes about adb installation: System-wide: ADB and Fastboot are installed to %SystemDrive%\adb directory, and added system-wide path. And, current user only: ADB and Fastboot are installed to %UserProfile%\adb directory, and added path for current user. CMD can use ADB and Fastboot from any directory. Drivers are installed to system - no need to install them from directories.
Now that adb is installed, to continue, the Huawei device must have its bootloader unlocked. Do not skip this step. Do not attempt to load LineageOS ROM unless the bootloader is unlocked. In the follow steps, instructions will be provided for unlocking the bootloader. Please follow the next steps carefully
SPECIAL WARNING: If the device runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch then this DC-unlock service won't work! (See “Special Note #1” mentioned earlier) - It is important downgrade and restore an earlier firmware if the device is on Android 8.
With both the Android device and PC: It is strongly recommended to use HiSuite now to downgrade the Huawei phone to its earliest firmware. Plug in the Huawei Phone, open HiSuite > Updates > Other Versions > Earlier Version > Click Restore
On the PC: Download and then install DC-Unlock from the homepage: (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/), or install DC-Unlock from the Packed by RK folder (See filename: dc-unlocker2client_1.00.1431.zip)
On the Android device: Connect phone to PC via USB. Then, enable "manufacturer mode" on the phone. This is done by entering the following code into the dial pad: code *#*#2846579#*#* (SPECIAL NOTE #4: On tablets without dial pad use in-built calculator in landscape mode to dial ()()2846579()()= )
On the Android device: Now, Select "Project Menu" > "Background settings" > "USB ports settings" > "Manufacture mode".
On the PC: Launch DC-unlocker software
On the PC: Detect device by selecting Huawei phones from the manufacturers drop down menu list, "Select model" leave on Auto detect (recommended), then read the info on software for how to correctly prepare phone for detection. After phone is prepared, connected to PC and it's drivers installed, click magnifying glass button. Now, wait till program detects it
On the PC: The information the software will display now will look like something more or less similar to the example below:
DC - Unlocker 2 Client 1.00.1431
Detecting phone :
selection :
manufacturer - Huawei phones
model - Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone (new)
Selected Applications port COM6
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone (new)
Serial NR. : 2VN5T17A29000000
Firmware : System 5.1.0.98(08SN)
On the PC: Open Server tab, enter your username and password that you received after credits purchase. To purchase credits, this is can be done via paypal. (Buy credits here, see link: www.dc-unlocker.com/buy). Now, click "Check login" button.
SPECIAL NOTE #5: Unfortunately there is no way to do this that doesn't require paying a company - this is not a shameless plug for DC-Unlocker. The author of this tutorial does not work for nor is paid buy DC-Unlocker. The unfortunate reality is that at the moment, this paid service is the easiest and fastest method that works for unlocking the bootloader. This does not require opening the device and using the testpoint. That being said, in the opinion off the author, this DC-Unlocker service is well worth the price. For more information on getting credit, username, and password with DC-Unlocker check this source. (See link: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-get-username-password) If a username and password exists, and this method is familiar, then just add credits to the existing account and login to DC-Unlocker program clicking the "Check login" button.
On the PC: Open Unlocking tab, click “READ BOOTLOADER CODE” button. Then, wait for code to be provided. Now there is a bootloader code. This is needed for unlocking the bootloader. Save the bootloader code, this is the UNLOCK KEY.
On the Android device: Return the phone now to its original mode by exiting manufacturing mode, otherwise it might not function properly.
On the Android device: Please double check that USB debugging is enabled. Then, plug the phone into the PC.
On the Android device: A popup will appear on the phone screen asking whether to allow the PC to access the phone. Authorize the request.
On the PC: Open ADB by going to the directory where adb was installed and saved and open CMD/Terminal (Shift+Right-click > open Power Shell or Command Line).
On the PC: In the command line: type the following command, only use what is written between the " " : "adb devices"
Your devices should be listed in the adb window, if it isn't, either you didnt install the adb driver properly, or your usb port has problem
On the PC: In the command line: the following code will reboot the phone to fastboot mode, now type the following command: "adb reboot bootloader"
SPECIAL NOTE #6: There is another method to enter fastboot mode manually: Follow the next steps:
On the PC: Keep ADB command prompt open
On the Android device: disconnect it from the PC, unplug the USB, Shut down the phone, Press and hold Volume Down button and then connect the USB cable to your phone. Phone should now be in fastboot mode.
On the PC: Once the phone is booted up to the fastboot mode screen, using the adb command line, now type the following command: "fastboot oem unlock [your UNLOCK KEY here]" - Enter this command without the brackets, for example like: fastboot oem unlock 12345678901234
On the Android device: Confirmation dialog should appear on the phone screen, and give warning about unlocking the bootloader. Follow the instructions on screen, select Yes to unlock. The device will now unlock, please be aware all data on the phone will be wiped with a factory reset. Once the unlocking process is finished, the phone will boot up to the initial set up. At the start of every bootup, a warning screen mentioning unlocked bootloader will be displayed.
On the Android device: Get past the initial setup. Set everything up through the initial setup, this doesn’t have to be a complete thorough set up. It is recommended to skip all the account settings, security settings, and other settings because later steps in this tutorial will require yet another factory reset again.
On the Android device: Please update to Android 8 now. It is sufficient to update upto the first earliest Android 8 update, it is unnecessary to update to the latest update available. Now that the bootloader is unlocked, the device must be running EMUI 8.0 in order to install LineageOS 16 Beta 6 by OpenKirin - If the phone was downgraded in order to unlock the bootloader, the phone must now be upgraded via OTA in the phone's settings menu. Please update to Android 8 now - Other versions are not supported and will likely brick the device.
On the Android device: Get past the initial setup again. Once finished with the initial setup, go to phone settings and re-enable USB Debugging option in developer options
With both the Android device and PC: Plug the phone into the computer via USB, and from your adb command line, now type the following command: "adb reboot bootloader"
On the PC: Go to the OpenKirin Downloads page and download the ROM to install. OpenKirin downloads can be found here: (see link: https://openkirin.net/download/) or alternatively, find LineageOS 16 Build 6 included in the 'Packed by RK' folder.
On the PC: If the ROM downloaded is compressed (file ends with extension .xz), extract the ROM .img file from the compressed file. On Windows PC: either WinRAR or 7-Zip can be used to extract the file.
On the PC: Once .img file is uncompressed , place the .img file in the same folder as the installed adb fastboot (credit: OpenKirin)
On the Android device: Power off the device. Then enter fastboot mode. (See step 20 and special note #6 which mentions how to enter fastboot mode earlier in this tutorial)
SPECIAL NOTE #7: The fastboot mode screen must show “PHONE Unlocked” and “FRP Unlock” - Do not continue if that is not shown.
With both the Android device and PC: Once on the fastboot screen, keep the device connected to your PC
On the PC: Open a command line terminal in the same directory as adb fastboot and the copied the ROM .img file. Then, in the command window, enter the following command: “fastboot flash system <name-of-rom-image-file>.” Press enter, and see the ROM flashed.
On the PC: Once it’s completed, type the following command: “fastboot reboot”
On the Android device: Unplug the phone now - The phone may reboot quickly and launch right into the new software ROM, but it is absolutely needed to turn off the device. Turn off the the device.
Before booting up and using the ROM, it is needed to perform a factory reset in the stock recovery. Do not continue without performing a factory reset.
On the Android device: Now that the device is off, to boot into recovery, hold down Power + VolUp at the same time, and keep them held until the Huawei/Honor logo appears on your screen. If done correctly, the recovery menu will be on screen.
On the Android device: In the recovery menu, press the “Wipe data/factory reset” button.
Reboot the device and begin enjoying the ROM!

Do you have tutorial to run xposed or Edxposed?
Hello Readers!
I hope you all are well, I finally got my hands on a Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017 for testing.
I have to say I have to regretfully inform that I have come accross an unexpected roadblock.
I can say as of now, the method described in this tutorial does not work for the Mate 10 or the P8 Lite 2017.
I got stuck at step 8:
With both the Android device and PC: It is strongly recommended to use HiSuite now to downgrade the Huawei phone to its earliest firmware. Plug in the Huawei Phone, open HiSuite > Updates > Other Versions > Earlier Version > Click RestoreWhen I connected both of these phone models to HiSuite I discovered it was impossible for me to roll back and downgrade the phones. The Mate 10 on the latest EMUI 10 would only roll back to Android 9.0. The P8 Lite 2017 would only roll back to and early Android 8.0 and it would fail to download Android 7, every time i tried to load, with a warning message stating the install fails due to lack space.
I can use your help: if you can verify my findings on your end by replicating the steps that i wrote in my tutorial, that can help me prove for certian these steps do not work for the Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017. All of the steps worked perfectly fine for my Mate 10 Lite but, as it seems now, it is impossible for me to downgrade the Mate 10 and P8 Lite 2017 to Android 7 at this time, therefore the DC-Unlocker bootloader unlocking cannot be performed.

1. If the rollback option is not available with your HiSuite ("switch to the older version", "Earlier version"...), you must downgrade to the lower Oreo build version number doing the dload method (flashing Service ROM for your model and REGION (Cxxx)! This process will erase all your data! You can also try chinese HiSuite (with an .exe extension instead of _OVE).
2. You should be able to use DCUnlocker (hcu-client) on Oreo, but you may need to downgrade first ( to a firmware version before July 2018). Downgrading can be done with the dload method , using Service ROM downloaded on androidhost.ru .
I have an unlocked Bootloader but Android 8 with newest Security Patch, does the Rom also work or need I downgrade to Oreo with security patch from Juli

Hello, please do kindly share how you were able to unlock the bootloader whilst still on Android 8.
With this tool https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV.
I'm asking because I tried to install twrp recovery, but it hangs on startup and I don't want to brick my device.
I have now downgraded my RNE-L21 to Security Patch Juli 2018. The bootloader is unlocked and stock recovery is flashed. Is it now possible to install Custom Rom?

Alf is a good editor! He spotted my error.
Yes if you have bootloader unlocker, stock recovery , and android 8, your device fits all of thr requirements to install LineageOS.
See: "It is sufficient to update upto the first earliest Android 8 update, it is unnecessary to update to the latest update available. Now that the bootloader is unlocked, the device must be running EMUI 8.0 in order to install LineageOS 16 Beta 6 by OpenKirin"
And see: SPECIAL NOTE #2: To install LineageOS the device must be on EMUI 8, therefore on Android 8 with an unlocked bootloader.

Would assume it not possible because "Additionally, the device must be with a security patch earlier than 1 June 2018."

Today I've rebooted my phone and after entering my unlockcode the screen went black and I'm back at login. Here is the logcat (I did it 3x to reproduce the Error):

Did you get it to work. I have a Mate 10 lite with android 8 and emui 8.0 with August 1 security patch. Thinking of trying potatoNV and custom rom. But I won't risk briking my phone cz i have no replacement. Can you provide with the details you weny through? And i see that when u flashes twrp u got stuck. Then how did you manage to get the custom RoM running without twrp. And how did you get it to work after getting stuck.
Thanks for @urbanman2004 guide for Poco X3 Pro. Some sentences still needed, so keeping it similar.

Only Official MIUI ROMs may have ARB index.
Customs ROMs should not have ARB index.
If your device is Anti version: 2,
1) you can flash Rom with Anti Roll Back (ARB) index: 3, 4, 5, 6... etc. and the Anti version will become 3, 4, 5, 6... etc.
2) you can flash Rom with ARB index 2, and the Anti version will remain 2.
3) you CANNOT flash Rom with ARB index 1. Don't use that ROM in anyway, flashing through custom recovery will likely brick your phone.
4) If ARB index is 0, that means no ARB of that ROM. It will not check or change your device Anti version.
Make sure look at ARB index of MIUI ROM and Anti version of your phone. I don't have your phone. You decide to flash.

Q. Why not use Mi-Flash?
A. Because one may easily accidently Clean All and Lock with different region MIUI and brick the device.
Go Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40 and see how many users brick their device using Mi-Flash.
Be sure to check ARB index of MIUI.
Q. Why flash MIUI with TWRP not Fastboot?
A. To check you actually had unlocked bootloader. Without unlocked bootloader, you shouldn't be able to boot into TWRP.

Are you sure your phone is Global? Which country?
What version of MIUI?
How did you flash your boot image?
What partition did you flash the boot image into?
Were you using this one? If yes, flash the boot.img from here into your phone boot partition and see if your phone can boot up.
Boot your phone into Fastboot or TWRP. If you can, there's still hope. Do the step in above Unlock bootloader step 18.

How you going to patch boot image if you cannot get into MIUI and use Magisk to patch boot.img?
You will need another phone to do that though.
Safe way is to do a complete clean data format and flash MIUI Rom.

Now my suggestion is to do a Clean complete Rom install. So all your data and files will be gone.
If you agree to clean all your data, follow above Clean Flash custom ROMs. Start from step 8. When you need to get into Fastboot, do it manually.
You don't need to download ArrowOS. Download MIUI 12.0.6.0 Recovery Rom and flash through TWRP.
Don't think of Magisk and MIUI 12.0.4.0 just yet. First get back to be able to see MIUI working.
Do I have to keep a SIM card in the phone throughout the entire unlock process? I would be taking it out of my actual daily driver phone so I'm just curious

You don't have to keep that SIM card after you done Unlock bootloader step 6.
You can remove your SIM card once step 6 was done. But you still need to have the number accessible to receive SMS if Mi-Account ask for verification.
Did you lose anything by unlocking bootloader? Like Widevine or something. Also, any special partition or file one should backup before unlocking (Not counting user data)? In Sony phones user have to backup TA partition or they will lose some features.
Thanks in advance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
1. Waiting time to unlock the bootloader
Q. If I receive the message: "unlocking can be done after 72h or 168h or 360h etc.". Is there a way to skip this waiting time?
A: Unfortunately you have to wait for that time to pass. There’s no way around it (that I know of). It seems like new and never used (to unlock bootloader) accounts receive a shorter waiting time.
2. Unlock procedure stops at 99%
Q: If my unlock procedure stops at 99%, what could be the problem?
A: Most problay you're using two different Xiaomi accounts. You have to use the same account that you have added into the device also in the unlock tool otherwise it will not work.
3. Recommended ad-blocker (for rooted devices)
Q: I want to block the advertisement in all apps, what app can you recommend?
A: If you decide to root your device, then you can install AdAway from here: https://adaway.org/. In order for AdAway to work properly please add in the Magisk App the Systemless Hosts (Magisk/Settings/Systemless Hosts).
4. Retaining the root after ROM update
Q: If I root my device as per point C, E of the AiO and I install a system update in my device, is the root still available?
A: Unfortunately root will be removed after the system update. So you have to repeat the procedure in point C, E.
I need to correct you, sorry. After manny tries, unlocking xiaomi 13 is:
you mod boot.img and init_boot.img with magisk
fastboot flash init_boot *init_boot_moded.img*
fastboot flash boot_ab *boot_moded.img*
fastboot reboot
Unfortunately root has no full access, no access to /system so android auto, even if moded to system app not working. build.prop also not editable by any way
I got stock builds from https://xiaomistockrom.com/xiaomi-13
tried on 14.0.4 and 14.0.9
At some point something went wrong and phone went in fastboot loop reboot. Susccesfully flashed using MiFlash20220218

If the link does not lead to the download and requires a subscription to TG, you must edit your post and delete the link. XDA rules.
But you can put it online via a cloud.

The reason behind the system partition being unreadable is that Xiaomi is using the new EROFS filesystem, instead of the old ext4. EROFS provides way faster reading and writing speeds, as well as saving space by compressing files dynamically. EROFS stands for Enhanced Read Only File System, so as the name suggests, there's no workaround to edit system files unless you have magisk.

Whats Xiaomis current policy about root and warranty, i remember they used to be "friendly" about it.
Wish they shortened the unlock waiting time to couple of hours, i'd consider another Xiaomi again. Last one was Xiaomi 9, I had to wait 2 weeks while phone being unused (not rooted = insecure).
Dumb question:
If i unlocked bootloader, flashed another rom (like global or EU) , can i relock it ?
And later, if i want to unlock it again, do i have to wait another 7 days?

You can lock the bootloader only with stock roms.
Chinese model, locking possible only with a CN rom.
Global model, all roms except CN.
No 7 day waiting period if you use the same account.
