on my last post I wrote device is a redmi 9c. Turns out it’s a redmi 10c and the custom ROM I wanted to install https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-13-unofficial-lineageos-20-0-unified-for-redmi-9a-9c-10a-blossom.4609367/ won’t work.

Anyhow, to unlock the device the official way I have to identify to their services through a phone line, not internet, and purchase a sim card, which I’m not going to do to experiment with this device.

I have no use for the stock software in the device and I’d rather have anything foss that works or kinda works.

If you ever experimented with this particular model or know what could work, feel free to post an answer.

    You need to use the official way of unlocking (official Windows app and phone number). There are no other ways of unlocking I’m familiar with. I believe in the past you could unlock it via EDL testpoint but now it somehow only makes the device think it’s unlocked but you still can’t install anything. Buy a Pixel for easy unlocking.
