Hi,
I search the recovery.img of Oukitel K10.
I have make OEM Unlock, and I can get fastboot.
I have find many fake websites to hot to do this, but realy don't trust (last time I have brick my K10000 Pro).
The better way is now to "fastboot boot test.img" and see if my phone boot before flash anything.
But I dont find a recvery.img who boot my phone
I have the "fake" ROM (I search inside, and it's seem match as mine)
The other problem is SP flash tools don't want to get me my NVRAM ...
Anyone have root is K10 ? (I have a brick until my device is not root, I don't use it in stock ROM !)
So I finaly test the "normal" way, whit the SP Flash tool method, and it's works.
I don't know why, when I fastboot the image, the phone won't boot, but whith flashtools, it's works.
I have now My Oukitel K10 rooted, and cleaned
So, what did you use to root it?
Yea can u tell us how you did it atep by step. My flashlight its not working andi cant hear a thing on Bluetooth... Need to root this.. or someone else knows how to fix it?
I actually found a step-by-step guide here:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-oukitel-k10/
But, i got stuck at downloading the image over my phone,.... i never get green light after flashing....
The phone functions normal, after... because nothing flashed i guess...
And that guide is incomplete, you need to first disable digitally signed drivers check, otherwise the preloader won't work at all...
Did anyone else try it?
What do you guys get?
Mind to share your knowledge? How you obtain your Oukitel K10 rooted cleaned?
I've got this phone today. Here is my quick root procedure.
1. Prepare a magnifiying glass for reading messages on your phone.
2. Download SuperSU (ZIP) and TWRP for oukitel k10.
This one works for me (OKITEL_K10_V121_20180112).
3. Reboot to bootloader.
VOL-DOWN+POWER
4. Unlock bootloader. It will destroy /data now.
fastboot oem unlock
# VOL-UP confirm
5. Reboot to system, then reboot to bootloader again.
6. Flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Reboot to recovery
# Hold VOL-UP
fastboot reboot
8. Format /data again
because no one knows password
9. Install SuoperSU.zip
Advanced - sideload -swipe # <-- on phone
adb sideload SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip # <-- on computer
10. Reboot to system, setup and install SuperSU from market.
Now you should have root.

Anyone know how install cleaned rom?
I keep getting bootloops as soon as I try to flash Magisk. I have no trouble flashing and starting up TWRP, but after flashing I can´t reboot to system. I also get the warning from my Pc when I connect my phone that it doesn´t recognize it. It reboots fine if I don´t flash anything. Any help? I also tried the steps on page 1 (Bootloader is successfully unlocked).
SuperSu works, but fails Safety Net, that´s why I want Magisk.

Hey there and sorry for the late response. What steps did you do so far? Is your bootloader unlocked already? Or are you at the start and this is your first try? If it is your first try, here is a step by step guide on what to do and what you will need.
What you need:
1. The SP Flash Tool and its drivers. You can find them on the Oukitel website or in the internet. Search for SP Flash Tool and download the latest. For the drivers it´s best to get them from Oukitel. Lower right side of their website and then click Latest software Rom and choose the K10.
2. The adb and fastboot drivers. Search them on the internet.
3. Your Smartphone.
4. A computer and the data cable.
5. The SuperSU 2.82 S3 files from chainfire. Again, search them on the internet.
6. The TWRP Image from this thread.
If you have everything, you do the following:
1. If you have used your phone already, safe everything you want to keep on your computer! You will have to erase your data at least once in the process!
2. Turn your phone on and go to settings.
3. Then tap on About your phone and scroll all the way down to see its build number.
4. Tap on that 7 times in a row to get the message: Congratulations you are now a developer. Go back to the settings to see a new option, the developer options.
5. Go to the developer options and tap on allow oem unlock and also tap on enable debugging options.
6. Leave the settings and connect your phone to your computer. Push the SuperSU file to your sd card (Magisk unfortunately does not seem to work and results in a bootloop at least for me).
7. On your computer, go to the folder where you saved the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Hold shift and open a power shell or command window in there (don´t actually know the steps for a Mac or Linux computer, sry).
8. Now type adb devices and confirm the access on your phone. If your phone doesn´t show up or there is no confirmation message on your phone, type adb kill-server and then adb devices.
9. Once your phone is confirmed, you type adb reboot-bootloader.
10. Now type fastboot oem unlock and press the volume up button on your phone to confirm the bootloader unlock.
11. Your phone will now erase your data (internal storage only, your sd card will not be touched, but may need to be set up and formatted again if it was used to extend the internal storage).
12. On your computer, type fastboot reboot and set up your phone again (just the basics, because you will have to erase it again). Don´t forget to turn on the debugging mode again.
13. Open up the SP Flash Tool on your computer and choose the scatter file from the twrp image (custom recovery). Only recovery should be ticked. Hit the download all button, connect your phone to computer and turn off the phone. Now wait till there is a green hook on your computer. This means, the download has been successfull.
14. Get to recovery mode on your phone by holding the volume up and power button at the same time and choose the first option, then hit the volume down button to enter recovery mode.
15. From here, go to the settings in the upper right corner and choose your language (ignore the message of the password and hit back).
16. Now go to Wipe and format your data.
17. Hit the restart button and press Recovery. Allow it to modify the system and pull the slider.
18. Now go to Install, choose your sd card and press SuperSU. Let it run through the process. Then restart and press system. First time the boot may take a while, so be patient.
19. Set up the phone and enjoy your root.
Magisk 17.1
Magisk 17.1 install AS IS, no warranty, no testing (yet).
!!! You can lose your data or brick your phone !!!
0. Don't try default install or upgrade via MagiskManager - you'll get bootloop.
1. You can try this boot-magisk.img (AIK repacked with force encryption and dm-verity enabled).
It works for me, but I did factory reset before trying.
- boot.img comes from OUKITEL_K10_V12_20180112.rar (I'm not sure about file's source)
fastboot flash boot boot-magisk.img
2. If your phone freeze on Oukitel logo, don't touch it. Wait.
If you stop phone here, you'll lose your data.
There is no way back - it starts data encryption.
3. If it fails, try flashing stock boot back and factory reset your phone.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
That modified boot.img did the trick. What did you modify to make it work?
The forced encryption, however, is annoying. Is there a possibility to undo that?

Hello to everybody.
Dear friends I post this to guide (only unlocked bootloader rooted phones) you through the steps that I used to succesfully recover my Xiaomi M9T
from a hard brick (by that time only edl mode was available).
Since Xiaomi has decided to lock down their Mi flash tool, and only special authorized accounts have an access to their utility tool.
was almost impossible (by yourself) to recover your phone from a hard brick situation.
I found a way arround to xiaomi tool with a 100% succesfull 1st atempt with my own phone it worked flawlessly.
Forget the point to point jumbers with a required open phone procedure.
Forget the authorized account holders with a teamviewer use of your computer and a fee for their services (logical).
Forget returning back your phone to any authorized repair center for a revival for what ever cost.
Below you will find al the steps one by one.
First thing you need is to install: minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
Run it and put "Y" and hit enter all the way through.
Second you need to install: TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE_2.0.1.1. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711

}
Press tab advance options.
under the advance options window press first the tab Set ADB and fastboot privileges system wide.
It will asc you for confirmation press the tab again with the same Set ADB and fastboot privileges system wide.
Then press the tab Open a free terminal with ADB and fastboot privileges.
and type in the terminal the cmd fastboot oem edl,
It will say ADB boot oem edl OK. (unforunatelly I have no screen print from this one).
You will know at once because your phone goes from fastboot (bunny) screen to black screen and enters edl mode, is normal do not be alarmed.
In your computer you will see now under setting> devices> Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. That is a good thing you are now in edl mode.
From there go back to already running all in one tool.
Press the tab Flash Factory images, you will go to the respective screen (below).
Select Flash all, and press the download factory image china.
Immediately will redirect you by a pop up window to the chinese site of the MIUI.
Scroll down and you will come across the Redmi K20 rom, downloaded and save it to your desktop.
Once is done decompress twice from tgz. file, to tar. file, to ready to flash rom file.
Now come back to all in one tool, and select the rom from the browsing tab, go to the desktop folder where you have previously download the roam and select the ready to flash (unzipep file) once is loaded hit flash Rom and seat back.
The ADB terminal will start the flashing procedure you will know from the very beggining if everything is normal,
Because the terminal shows the file is being prossesed and the time for each action with a followed OK
During the procedure it will break up between two or three stages of the flashing, momentarily again do not be alarmed.
If everything goes well the operation will finish with a gorgeous redmi bootup logo.
(once again I apologize no screen shot taken in advance for this step)
It will finally bootup to system, allthough it might not, But one more time do not be worried, officially you have succeded reviving your hard bricked phone.
From there if is not completing bootup simply press volume up+power botton and you have the official recovery, (in chinese of course) but you can easily
find an image with the english tab designation, hit wipe data, and reboot again, voila there you are back in bussiness.
All the gredits go to the developers of the above used tools, since I just was lucky enough to find the way through.
Good luck to all Mi9T/K20 xiaomi owners with your phone revival process.
Best regards to all of you.
P.S.
Forgive my English for any syntax or grammar errors.
I wish I had more time to spend for a more comprehensive guide.
Works for k20 pro aswell?

Hi there I have not tried since I have only Mi 9T.
But yes, I am sure pretty much is the same think, instead of downloading the K20 rom, simply download the K20 pro one,
I wish you a good revival.
wow, this is too good to be true ? hope it will works for ppl who have brick. thanks
Awesome news, THX
Thank you for providing us an alternative way of reviving hard bricked devices. I hope this also fix similar problems but with a locked bootloader.
btw can i just unlock bootloader easily from this tool?
@Fantomduck Wait wait, i missread in your post "(only for unlocked bootloader)" So this is tutorial for those who have already unlocked bootloader to unbrick device or what? im confused now... bcs if we have unlocked bootloader there is no point to do this steps u described then, we can simply flash any stock rom on unlocked bl and unbrick drvice.
Yeah from what I understand, it basically flash the rom via EDL mode, but for unlocked bootloader. But why bother with EDL when the bootloader already unlocked? Also, I thought we can only flash ROM via EDL with authenticated tokens?
If this app can flash rom via EDL without special authentication, it should works for both unlocked and locked bootloader, though it might be different for Mi 9T Pro.
Very interesting nevertheless.
Hello again,
Just a clarification regarding, "I tried one more ultimate time, and boom success".
I ment tried one more time, by using alternative ways such the one that I post .
Not the Mi flash tool.
Well I guess thanks for taking the time to write this guide, however it's not applicable to hard bricked phones, and all the AIO tool does is use fastboot commands, that's the reason it requires fastboot access with unlocked bootloader.
Hard brick means :
- No fastboot at all. No way to boot to it on the phone. Plain black screen and nothing else.
- Stuck in fastboot with bootloader LOCKED and wrong ROM installed ("system has been destroyed"/"this MIUI can't be installed on your device")
Unfortunately for hard brick cases your only option will still require an authorized EDL account (and short the test pins for the 1st case) and only by using Mi Flash Tool.
Hi, yes I flased my phone via EDL Mode since I had no other option, (hard brick) the system was erased by a terrible mistake and the phone was only opening to fastboot mode, no matter what. And if you have hard bricked device you can not flash it in fast boot mode simply because your computer can not see the phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If your phone can boot to fastboot and the bootloader is unlocked then it's not hard bricked and can be recovered simply with fastboot commands. If you couldn't see the phone on the computer it was probably because of missing drivers or possibly fastboot/adb not running with admin rights, which I guess the AIO tool seems to fix with the "set ADB and fastboot privileges in system wide" option...
Yeah I thought so, as that app is basically a GUI version of fastboot and adb command. But I appreciate the effort to help people in here to recover their phones.

Dear ShiningScias.
Hello, well I guess then, I was on the shoft bricked side?
Thank you for making that clear to me, I then have to apologize, to everybody that I have mislead, with an assumption that was not the correct one.
I misunderstood what the hard brick is, I think probably i had jumped to that conclusion because when I was searching for rooting my phone I came across with so many tutorials and advices not to make any mistake while shifting between roms with ARB or else the outcome will be a hard brick.
Best regards.

Dear yumm91,
Hi, yes I flased my phone via EDL Mode since I had no other option, (hard brick) the system was erased by a terrible mistake and the phone was only opening to fastboot mode, no matter what. And if you have hard bricked device you can not flash it in fast boot mode simply because your computer can not see the phone.
Thus not adb debuging authorization to comunication with the device for reflashing. So only EDL Mode that qualcom put in place for such an awkward situation
At that time the only tools and knoledge I had regarding my newly purchased phone Mi9T was:
A) Flashing through Mi flash tool (which is locked for everyone to use without special account) I found it out afterward.
B) the all in one tool, that I found when I was looking for help in xda forums, which is for unlocked phones, as it states in the main window.
Said that before, I started looking for how to flash it in edl mode.
Nobody new then (a week ago) how to revive, bring back to "life" their phones( Mi9/K20 and Pro variants).
The general idea that was floating around regarding hard bricked devices.
Was the option of having a person with authorized account for flashing, to enter to your computer, and flash it for you,
( after opening the back cover and disconnect the battery, while make jumper between the the special points on the PCB).
To return the phone back to have it repaired, Xiaomi's suggestion.
I tried many times the mi flash tool, even when I was logging in, my xiaomi account said "this computer is bound to your account you can start now", but with no luck.
So Before I take my phone and bring it to a service center, for flashing for 55 euro.
I tried one more ultimate time, and boom success.
From what I know locked phones, can not be hard bricked since the system will not let you roll back, or flash not original xiaomi rom.
I posted the way arround to the Mi flash tool, that I came accross by trying to flash a bricked device , for everybody to overcome the authorization problem.
I am not a developer nor an expert regarding android programming, I just have little experience from previous devices that I messed arround by trial and error.

You haved probably problem with fastboot drivers for your phone. Bcs this tool u used to boot EDL mode is also using fastboot first to boot in EDL so how u boot EDL if u told before that your phone can't be recognised by fastboot on your pc ?
I guarantee u can easily unbrick device with unlocked bootloader using only miflash or using fastboot command on adb. So there is no point to do all steps in description.
Wait. If i will unlock bootloader, and for some reason it will fail and brick, it will be bricked on locked bootloader or unlocked?
Is this method works with a GLOBAL image flash to a chinesse K20?

THIS GUIDE DOES NOT APPLY TO THE HARD BRICK, WHERE FASTBOOT DOES NOT WORK!!!
1) Download MI Flash: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ (i downloaded mine from here.)
2) Download phone's original firmware. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ (search the phone and select rom depending on your country.)
Remember to download the fastboot firmware.
3) Extract firmware to a folder, like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I used 7-zip.
4) Open MI Flash and let it install all the drivers needed.
5) Reboot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power key + vol down key) and plug it into your computer.
6) In MI Flash select the folder when you extracted the firmware.
7) Click refresh and make sure the program detects your phone.
8) Down the window, select clean all (otherwise it will lock the bootloader)
9) Click Flash.
Done.
NOTE: if the program displays an error "error: no command fastboot lock /s" don't worry about it. The system will work anyways.
NOTE: recovery gets replaced by the stock one
NOTE: you can just use the flash_all.bat file to flash it, but i recomend using the program. The .bat file also did not work for me.

THIS GUIDE DOES NOT APPLY TO THE HARD BRICK, WHERE FASTBOOT DOES NOT WORK!!!
1) Download MI Flash: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/ (i downloaded mine from here.)
2) Download phone's original firmware. https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ (search the phone and select rom depending on your country.)
Remember to download the fastboot firmware.
3) Extract firmware to a folder, like this:
View attachment 5549219
I used 7-zip.
4) Open MI Flash and let it install all the drivers needed.
5) Reboot your phone into fastboot mode (hold power key + vol down key) and plug it into your computer.
6) In MI Flash select the folder when you extracted the firmware.
7) Click refresh and make sure the program detects your phone.
8) Down the window, select clean all (otherwise it will lock the bootloader)
9) Click Flash.
Done.
NOTE: if the program displays an error "error: no command fastboot lock /s" don't worry about it. The system will work anyways.
NOTE: recovery gets replaced by the stock one
NOTE: you can just use the flash_all.bat file to flash it, but i recomend using the program. The .bat file also did not work for me.

Is the bootloader unlocked?
NOSS8 said:

Click to expand...

No. the Boot Loader is Locked.
There's no explanation about that in the 1st Post nor in other previous posts (that if the Boot Loader is locked then anybody doing this guide as it is being told, will surely find those error like me (Critical partition flashing not allowed),
so no wonder I get that error.
But then,... (before I tried this guide), it was because, after I did Factory Reset and Wipe Data) my phone was stucked on "MiUI 11 Logo' (on white background -where I can change Language and font size, but no further from that), (that's why then I tried this guide),,.. so (my point is) there's no way I can Unlock the Boot Loader first.
So, then, I try a step I watched on YouTube.
I put off the phone's back case, disconnected the battery, and so on and so on just like the video told, (EDL Flashing).
Success. (at least that was what the MiFlash Tools app told me on my PC screen)...
Put on everything back, try to turn on my phone.. but now it is doing boot loop... (and worse,.. now the boot loop is on MiUI logo with black background, even before where it was at the 1st time)
Can somebody help me?
If you can enter fastboot mode, use fastboot oem device-info to check the status.

First of all, thanks for your kindness to help me.
and, Yes I often edit my post, because my English is not good and I did many mistyping. (sorry).
I edit it to make it better and clearer (for anybody who'd like to help me, like you.. Thanks again in advance).
----------
*I cannot enter Fastboot now, because it seems there's other problem, that is, I ruin the plastic power & volumes buttons (maybe when I took off the back case) somehow, they don't work now.
*I didn't and haven't try that Xiaomi Official UnlockTool, because like I said in my previous post, I didn't know that to do the guide in the 1st post in this thread, my phone has to be in UBL condition first. And I was in condition where I couldn't enter my phone (to login to Xiaomi ID on my phone, for example).

Yeah, I'm still waiting for my payday LOL...
Actually I'm in series of bad luck,.. I lost my previous phones, (a redmi Note 10),, so I have to re-use this my old Redmi 5a blue phone, just after my other, the silver (redmi 5a too) was its screen suddenly cannot be touch when I used it as my first emergency replacement.
Hello all, I've been trying to install /e/ os GSI on my Redmi Note 11S. I already unlocked the bootloader.
Whenever i tried flashing system.img, (with boot.img patched manually via fastboot, not via a custom recovery), the phone would only boot fastboot. So I tried installing this custom recovery, and patch boot.img from there, but that still wouldn't work (though the recovery at least worked). So I tried installing the stock ROM, and try something else.
I went with latest fastboot EEA image and ran flash_all.sh (worked last time I tried), but this time I got an error (something about partition preloader not found). So I restarted the phone after which it got stuck in this bootloop. Can't boot into fastboot, nor recovery. Instead, the phone keeps flashing the mi logo on and off every 5 seconds. fastboot on my Linux install can't detect the phone. My Windows 10 install can't find it either, though it plays the "device connected" sound followed by the "device disconnected" sound shortly after. I can't turn the phone off either. Windows 10 USB drivers worked, or at least when I was unlocking the bootloader, so I don't think the issue is there. Any idea how to fix this?
Thank you in advance
Edit: Typos. Also I noticed that it only plays the "device connected" and "disconnected" sounds on Windows 10 only when i hold down the power and vol- buttons.
UPDATE: This tool can at least detect the phone, though I do get this error afterwards:

no idea
Normally you use flashall.bat and not .sh, try using flashall.bat and hopefully you'll get out of the bootloop.
Try following my "how to fix bootloop" guide again, atleast till step 4 when you get the fastboot mode back up again.

Could you send a link to the guide please? The only guide I could find on your profile is the one with the rooting, which is among the first guides I tried and it was the one to get me into this situation. Note that in your guide, it appears that you can at least get to the FASTBOOT screen, which I can't. My phone just stays on the logo for 5 seconds before rebooting, and no matter which buttons I press or hold, I can't get it to go to the FASTBOOT screen.
Also, what's the difference between flash_all.bat, and flash_all.sh, aside of one being for Linux and the other for Windows?

Press and hold all the 3 buttons, vol +, vol - and power button at the same time, till you see the phone switched off for a few seconds.
Then press the power and vol - button to get to the fastboot mode.
About the flashall.bat, I completely forgot that you were using Linux my bad.
Also sometimes some drivers don't work well in Linux try using windows.
Did you follow the guide which was at the end of this?

Yes, that's the one, and it won't go into fastboot.
Isn't /e/ Murena GSI just android 10? I am pretty sure it won't work. I had the same problem, but I fixed it by installing stock ROM..
And that /e/ GSI is not actively developed and not even in beta stage (not usable at most cases)
Don't use SP Flash tool for full flash this phone seriously, Sp flash tool will make your phone stuck in recovery miui and show Nvdata Corrupted even you choose download only mode.
for now try to use mtkclient to flash boot.img only to both side A&B.
move your boot.img to mtk client folder
open cmd on that folder
type this command:
Code:
python mtk w boot_a,boot_b boot.img,boot.img
and try turn on your phone.
if still can't boot try to flash one by one img from your firmware
I has your same problem. Just hold the vol- for more than your usually Need and should boot into fastboot and than you flash with flashall.bat
I've sucessfully restore my phone and work as normal.

I think. It's now at least on the FASTBOOT screen, which is progress. And the MIUI recovery is now back as well. While the system is still unbootable, I think I can take it from here. Thank you

That's the first thing I tried, and no luck. But I fixed it now (I think).
Very welcome, Glad to hear that
Note for everyone:
Backup this partition it's very important.
nvcfg.img, nvdata.img, nvram.img, persist.img, proinfo.img, protect1.img, protect2.img, md1img.img
Thats all partition about imei, security and network configuration for ur device. CMIW.
mtkclient also can do that,
and it's the clue:
Code:
python mtk r nvcfg,nvdata,nvram,persist,proinfo,protect1,protect2,md1img nvcfg.img,nvdata.img,nvram.img,persist.img,proinfo.img,protect1.img,protect2.img,md1img.img
Check ur mtk client folder, now you got the back up.
u can also use this Partitions Backup & Restore this tool don,t need PC for backup and restore, but i'm not really sure can be work perfectly. i just try for boot partition and its worked.

I myself did it with the terminal and on Linux. I didn't use the GUI, so I can't help with that. Could you send a higher res picture of the terminal please? We can't really see anything.
If you're doing this on Windows, then my guess is a driver issue (I did have to install a special driver for Windows to work with Fastboot, could be that mtk needs it too).
Hi All,
I unbricked my phone by using fresh release of mtkclient (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient).
Hello everyone, this is my first post here, I'm planning on buying a phone with high specs, good camera and the possibility to access root so my attention went to Xiaomi 12T Pro.
I've seen a two-weeks old post on reddit where some guy with this same phone asked for help and ultimately managed to root it using magisk, however the 12T pro has a snapdragon chipset and from my last experience (about 6 years ago) snapdragon devices can't be rooted? Maybe that guy had the normal 12 pro and got confused with the name?
Anyway I have a laptop so if there's a possibility/potential in the future to root this phone I might as well buy it.
If you want I can also link the reddit post so you can give it a look.
Thanks everyone.
Edit: thanks for the answers, when I buy this phone an root it I can let you know how it went.

Just confirming: in the TWRP page, the 12T Pro is not listed as a compatible device (https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/).
Will the provided version of the TWRP work? I would like to avoid boot loops or even a hard brick.
And, would Orange Fox work too? Could you point us the correct version?
TIA.
Just did as instructed and it works. Only bummer is that twrp is in Chinese. I did google a youtube video and followed instructions to change language. So far all good.
Do OTA updates still work after rooting? Or what is the process to upgrading once rooted?

You mean "fastboot devices", as it is already in fastboot
booting to recovery ended in error for me " FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))" which led to bootloop.
I reflashed original ROM and I will try flashing.
flashing the recovery went as sharp as possible.
I do not recommend to boot into recovery before flashing it.

I didn't tried to boot without installing, I think there is a problem with A/B slots. On devices without B slot booting in TWRP should work as intended.

Provided version works on my device (Mi 12T Pro, Global ROM). Hardbrick is impossible if flashing TWRP in recovery partition.

There are 3 versions of TWRP:
BOOT:
Command:
fastboot boot twrp.img
powershell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP
REC:
Update with existing TWRP.
gold
CMD
fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img***
powershell
./fastboot flash recovery_ab twrp.img***
BOOT REC:
Both methods
On this thread the proposed version is REC.
***Remove lock screen security and reboot to decrypt data then install TWRP.
Reboot with the buttons combination and not with a fastboot command

Then reboot TWRP
No need TWRP for Rooting
Root:
1. Find or redownload the TGZ file for your current ROM
2. Browse inside the zip file and find boot.img under the images folder
3. Copy this file to a temporary location in your PC first, and then transfer it to your phone
4. Install the desired version of Magisk app (V23?)
5. Run the app and choose Install under Magisk
6. Choose Select and Patch a File, then select the boot.img that was transferred earlier
7. A process will run and create a new .img file in the same folder where the original one was
8. Transfer the new file to your PC in the same directory where fastboot.exe is located
9. Open a command prompt window in that same directory
10. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to PC, USB2.0 port. Check for connection by running command fastboot devices.
11. Run the command fastboot flash boot_ab magiskXXXX.img
Once it's completed, run command fastboot reboot and the phone should boot and be rooted.

I would like to inform any new thinker for root possibility in this device that I was not able to hide the root by Google Pay/Wallet in this phone (ROM: 13.0.11.0 - SLFEUXM), by executing the casual procedures:
Pass SafetyNet without Magisk Hide Props Config and
How to Hide Root from Apps via Magisk DenyList [Android 13]
All other bank apps I use have no clue that I am rooted, and work flawlessly.
If you know something more I can try, I will be happy to get any help on the matter.

Maybe you have already tried this (your links don't work):
magisk/settings/hide Magisk, renaming it..
Zygisk enable/enforce exclusion list enable.
Configure exclusion list / display system apps / check those related to your problem.
Reboot.

I don't think I can isolate Google Pay/Wallet, but I will try it.
