[HOWTO][GUIDE] Rooting the One ME (m9ew / htc_hima_ace_ml_dtul)

Hello All,
First of All before beginning with anything,
I OR ANYONE THAT I HAVE MENTIONED IN THIS TRHEAD ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEVICE BRICKING DURING THIS GUIDE, YOU ARE DOING THIS ON YOU OWN WISH AND MUST HOLD THE WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS
I AM NOT A DEVLEOPER AND DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BE A ONE ( although i would love to be one )
AND HENCE I CANNOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS UNLESS I KNOW ITS ANSWERS
FOR THE TIME BEING THERE IS NO CERTAIN METHOD TO GET OTAs BACK
SO IF YOU CANNOT GO THE S-OFF WAY AND HAVE WARRANTY ISSUES, AFRAID OF BRICKING , ETC
THEN ROOTING CAN COST YOU TO LOOSE OTA FOR A GOOD TIME
My region ( 708 ) still donot have the stock recovery released and hence i couldn't test
Second , This guide is just a collection of others people work and assistance so the effort is not really mine
I would like to thanks @tbalden and @karlanal as without them i wouldn't be able to root my device
Let the Fun begins and let's know what you need first :
1- Working Adb and fastboot in your pc ( from this thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 )
2- HTC drivers ( There is one in the sync manager drive in "My computer" when you insert the usb cable )
This one worked for me just fine but if it didn't, you should download the whole htc sync manager which contains all the needed drivers ( as said by other users through searching in the web generally )
3- CMD >> Working command prompt in your windows
4- SuperSu Zip file which will be flashed through TWRP >>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5DGpxyjpIhkLTdFQkdXUzFKSU0/view?usp=sharing
5- TWRP for Our One ME >>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5DGpxyjpIhkY2VGZzhNUU95dFU/view?usp=sharing
6- Ofcourse a working Usb cable
STEPS to ROOT starting from Locked Bootloader device :
SAME as the following thread made by tbalden exactly except replacing the TWRP with our own which is already above at the 5th point
MUST READ ALL THE HINTS AND TIPS IN THE INTIAL TOPIC OF THE THREAD AS WE ARE AFFECTED SAME AS THEY ARE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/one-m9-general/howto-rooting-m9-m9pw-htchiaumltuhl-t3116327
STEPS to get back to Stock so we can get OTA :
First method : Same as the One for M9+ >>> ALTHOUGH SEEMS NOT TO WORK BECAUSE WHEN WE INTITALLY FLASH TWRP IT MOUNTS THE SYSTEM AS RW WHICH BREAKS A CERTAIN CODE ( SHA1 )THAT OTA CHECKS FOR IT BEOFRE FLASHING THE OTA
1- Flash Stock recovery of your region AND your current firmware >>> From this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...u-htc-one-m9ew-ruus-hboot-zips-t3211628/page1 )
2- Restore UNTOUCHED system Partition ( That you intially take a Backup for it just after flashing TWRP )
Second method : which will include S-OFF and flashing a whole diffrent Firwmare
( This was mention by Karlanal and i didn't test it yet )
1- S-OFF via sunshine app ( have to pay ant not free )
2-Make supercid via fastboot command
3-After that you can install one of those two firmwares in the RUU thread that we currently have (either asia india or china)
For the Post of this procedure from Karlanal ( I believe he wouldn't mind that i am sharing this )
I REPEAT, HE DOESNOT HOLD ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY FLASHING ISSUES
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63041916&postcount=32
Hope you all have the best rooted device and happy flashing

Awesome mate... keep updating anything new!

Amazing thread

if anyone tries the described method and/or something isnt described good please do tell me and we will sort it out
ill install the chinese edition and write everything up again in a step by step if needed
so with these files and s-off you have OTA-s back, so much i can guarantee
i do sounda little bit like an sunshine sales guy, dont i

Thank you so much for this guide. I spend a couple of hours trying to do it by my own before you collect all those information together.
Now I'm root and everything is working as it should be. Just waiting for the 708 RUU to get back to stock recovery for OTA, unless a good custom rom appears

1. download the sunshine app and install it on your htc, after that everything is selfe explanatory
2. go to your folder where you have adb.exe, fastboot.exe and all the other needed files, in my case i put it under C:/Android
open the folder, now press shift and hold, right click with the mouse somewhere in that folder an choose "open command window here"
now a cmd window appears
now you go into download mode on your htc and connect it with your pc
then issue the following command
fastboot getvar all
you should get your cid number
then issue
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
and that is it, you can reboot and you are supercid

Problem with unlocking bootloader
Hi all!
I have HTC One ME Dual Sim. Before rooting procedure I need to unlock bootloader in my device. At page on oficial HTC site - I tried to pass all steps, but I stoped already at second step. I tried to choose: All Other Supported Models and also tried to use HTC M9+ - but anyway I did not find in my device same option in menue, as shown in second step of instruction.
At second step you will bee asked to go into FASTBOOT mode. But it is not presend in my device! I aslo tried to use recomendation as for HTC M9+ - also: no same point in menue for this device in Instruction.
If I choosed to reboot to bootloader - I also can't get FASTBOOT menue!
So, - my question is: how to get into FASTBOOT menue in HTC One ME Dual Sim and in HTC M9+ for passing trough into 3 Step of Instruction? May be exist another way to unlock bootloader for my device, because it is not contain FASTBOOT option in menue.
Thanks!

There is no Fasboot anymore, you can do the process from bootloader and everything will work as it should :good:

2. By using the program fastboot - was was successfully flashed recowery TWRP (from Top of this topic) into device.
But after trying to login into Recowery mode by long pressing Power + Vol Down - I can't get into recowery menueб because it is not exist in list.
Only:

reboot to bootloader
reboot to download mode
reboot
power down
And that's it. But at end of screen appears this inscription:
Security checking failed NOT_FIND_SMART_IO
SD NOT MOUNTED
If I trying to start up with long pressing Power + Vol Up - also just appear the same list without recowery mode option. But at end of screen I can see message:
Detecting smart card...
Reboot to ftm mode failed due to NOT_FIND_SMART_IO
But if to start device after rebooting into normal mode - there is not any problem with SD-card (internal). Device working good.

Unlocked but twrp fail to flash

htc one e8 dual sim[India] stuck at boot screen after OTA update[android 6.0]

Hello,
Today I got notification for my marshmallow update for my HTC one e8. But I had TWRP recovery in my mobile and S-ON. and somewhere on youtube I watched a video how to get OTA update on rooted HTC ONE devices so follow the following steps :
1) Get back to your stock recovery : - which did by taking the recovery.img file from update package and flashing the recovery using fastboot.[which removes twrp with this new recovery].
2) then i started installing the update which I think successfully installed.
but when it rebooted it stuck at the boot screen. Then after 3-4 hours I factory reset my cell by visiting boot loader. But nothing happens and now I am stuck . Please help me how to recover my phone.
Also I am not able to change back the recovery to TWRP, as in fastboot device is undetectable.
so is there any way to get back my phone from TWRP backup which I made earlier when I installed TWRP

Solution
I faced a similar solution and i'd suggest you to do the following
The main issue was that adb debugging was off so its wasn't getting detected in the fastboot shell in the pc.
Install htc mobile drivers on my pc (google it, you can find this easily).
Keep the phone in HBOOT mode and connect it to the pc. Open device manager in the pc, you will now see that your htc device is now listed there.
Now open the command prompt from adb and fastboot folder. Switch the phone into FASTBOOT mode.
Now give the command: adb devices .
Do not worry if your device is still not shown in the list of devices attached.
Give the command : fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your phone should reboot in the bootloader mode again. If this happens, it confirms that the device is successfully connected to the pc . :good:
Now you flash custom recovery in your phone using the command :
fastboot flash recovery "<name-of-the-recovery>.img"
Then reboot the phone using :
fastboot reboot
Now try to enter into recovery mode. Your custom recovery will open up.
Now you can restore a twrp backup (I'm assuming that you have one. It is always recommended to have a backup of your phone whwnever you root your phone).
Reboot and you are done !!

hey listen to update your cellphone to MM using OTA updates you need to have a re locked bootloader or you should not have any SU binaries in your phone so to do this you need RUU. If you are able to connect your cellphone to ypur PC and able to use fastboot then using fastboot just relock the phone using above mentioned commands and then use RUU to get back to stock lollipop ROM and the start updating using OTA. I did yesterday all these and now I have MM in my cell and its working fine with sense 7 ( which means no restrictions on themes).

I have the first OTA which was of 94 MB but I do not have the OTA which was 1.09 GB bcoz I was not able to find this in the download folder of the internal storage. If you want that 94 MB OTA than I can provide you that but not the others :

NO, I have not rooted my phone after update becoz I am waiting for other update which might arrive if there is any bug in the current update, I will root my phone after 1 month.

Dear all Dual SIM Indian M8SD users,
Please could you share your experience of updating to MM? I am having no network connection with SIM slot 2. SIM slot 1 is fine.
I then downgraded to Lollipop by flashing the RUU via fastboot after erasing the phone memory via TWRP recovery. Both SIM started working perfectly again. Then did an OTA update in four stages (from 2.33.720.3 to 2.33.720.4 to 2.33.720.6 to 2.33.720.8 to 3.06.720.2 MM) to Marshmallow.
Same problem with SIM 2 again. In the meantime, have tried various other tweaks (all combinations of settings/ removing SIMS and back in/factory resets etc.). None works.
Any help and ideas will be really appreciated.
Many thanks.

How to Root MOTO X PLAY XT1562 Running Android 6.0.1

Hello Moto X Play owners
This guide is for those who still don't figure out how to root moto x play running android 6.0.1(stock Rom)
Old Thread for rooting moto x play is outdated, so decide to write this one with updated steps and links.
As usual I'm not responsible for your bricked device, as Motorola says Unlocking your boot loader is not for the faint of heart. you can't blame anybody but yourself. You will loose your warranty by unlocking your boot loader. and you will loose every data on your phone.
Still want to root your phone, okay fine follow these three steps to root your phone.
They are 3 Steps involved in this process.
1, Unlocking the Bootloader
2, install custom recovery
3, Install Super SU
Before you begin
A. Back up all your data. yes you gonna loose entire stuffs on your phone.
B. Download all the required files from the below links
1.Download and install Motorola USB Drivers
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
2.Download Fast boot and extract it to your hard drive (file attached on this thread)
3.Download TWRP latest version (do not extract)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17934
4. Download Super SU V. 2.62-3 (do not extract)

2. Plug in your device to your PC using a USB cable.
3. Head over to the Motorola website to get your unlocking key and follow the steps provided there or follow the same steps provided below.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
3. Go to the extracted fastboot folder and open a command prompt (ctrl+shift+right click and open command prompt)
4. At the prompt, type
Code:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Example: On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
copy this from the command prompt and paste in a notepad and remove all (bootloader) and make it string like belwo
0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000

Code:
fastboot oem unlock KEY

It supposed to work but I got xt1562 so I haven't personally checked this on xt1563 so I can't guarantee that. But in the previous thread people rooted their xt1563 using this method.

Before you can enter the unlock code in Fastboot, you have to enable it in the developer options first.

Thanks...I tried many methods like one click...but none worked...gonna try .. thanks for info????

How easy is it to revert to stock once the Nougat update rolls out? I like the stock rom but don't want to miss the update just for adaway and Xposed

Better you keep your bootloader locked. There's no point to loose your warranty if you love stock rom.

Bought it in January so I'm almost out of warranty anyway. All I want is Adaway, XposedGEL and system wide icon packs. Extra freedom with tasker would be nice too. I wish Moto/Lenovo would just give us a better idea of when they're rolling N out but I'm sick of waiting. If it's easy enough to lock the bootloader again and get the OTA (I'm happy to wipe the device in the meantime) then I'm going to root this week

We can expect OTA by the end of Dec or Jan. You can restore stock rom for sure but never tried so I can't recommend it.

How do you lock the bootloader
(I'm sorry, I'm a noob)

You don't. Is not possible. Unlock is not reversible. It is possible to achieve a relocked state which usually isn't helpful.

I have a strange issue where it's as if SuperSU stops and my root permissions are lost until I reboot. If I open any app that usually requests root through SuperSU it just hangs.
I'm using v2.62 so should I try a later version? Do I need to flash this in twrp or just install within Android or is this a known different problem?

if you are in stock use this:
go to terminal in TWRP - Advanced-Terminal type command in your phone:
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
flash super su and restart your phone.
there is new version 2.79:
Code:

So, this is the updated guide for rooting the Moto X Play, right?
Completely working as of today still?

working but you need updated version twrp 3.0.2-r5 and supersu 2.79. here twrp:
Code:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZPF6lZmr0aJ56hbe8rm51jfaaXU5L6O5EV
without systemless command you should use version 2.62-3

[GUIDE] How to flash a custom recovery and root a Nokia 6 Retail Phone

WARNING: This method currently doesn't work on Nokia 6 TA-1000 with latest Android O Update! Finding workaround.
Workaround found on leaked Android 8.1 Update, with Magisk Systemless Root Method.
ROOT YOUR PHONE MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
You can download new recovery from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/nokia-6-ta-1000-homebrew-stock-android-t3752006
Changes in new TWRP Recovery 3.2.1-0:
1. Add English Interface.
2. Use Magisk ROOT instead of SuperSU ROOT.
3. You can backup EFS. However you can't backup modem or the procedure will break.
Thanks to @xinkid 's effort, we can finally root Nokia 6 on Android Oreo again.
Procedure for non TA-1000 users:
0. Backup your phone and remove your lock screen password before proceed! If your phone get stuck at "Powered by Android" splash after the procedure, you may need to format userdata.
1. Sideload the PLE-372B ota package in recovery, which you can download from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/help/nokia-6-ota-update-ddls-t3721424
Refer this guide's part 2 to downgrade.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-upgrade-downgrade-nougat-oreo-t3752393
2. Flash the service bootloader and grant service permission
Reboot to bootloader, then flash the service bootloader with following commands. Service bootloader file (D1C-emmc_appsboot.mbn attached in this topic)
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity [md5_of_your_device_serial_number]
fastboot flash aboot D1C-emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity [md5_of_your_device_serial_number]
For example, if your serial number is PLEABCD123456789, and the md5 checksum of your serial number is 5f47b9a8dc1da1873c12945cf806691e, then type this command:
Code:
fastboot oem dm-verity 5f47b9a8dc1da1873c12945cf806691e
fastboot flash aboot D1C-emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem dm-verity 5f47b9a8dc1da1873c12945cf806691e
You can google a website to calculate md5 checksum of a string.
3. Reflash newer firmware basis to your phone except aboot
After you grant service permission, Extract the newer one OTA package on your PC, in this case, PLE-558B.
Everything you need are placed at firmware-update folder that you extracted.
Take PLE-558B for example, type these commands (commands need to be changed if newer firmware released):
Code:
fastboot flash sbl1 D1C-0-558B-sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash keymaster D1C-0-558B-keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash devcfg D1C-0-558B-devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib64 D1C-0-558B-cmnlib64.mbn
fastboot flash rpm D1C-0-558B-rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz D1C-0-558B-tz.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib D1C-0-558B-cmnlib.mbn
fastboot flash modem D1C-0-558B-NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash dsp D1C-0-558B-adspso.bin
fastboot flash default_nv D1C-0-558B-NV-default.mbn
fastboot flash persist D1C-0-558B-00WW-persist.img
fastboot flash hwcfg D1C-0-558B-hwcfg.img
fastboot flash mdtp D1C-0-558B-00WW-mdtp.img
fastboot flash systeminfo fver
fastboot flash sec D1C-0-558B-sec.dat
fastboot flash cda PLE-00WW-013-cda.img
You'll also need the boot img in the extracted ota package:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then flash the custom recovery:
fastboot flash recovery nokia-6-ta-1000-8_0-twrp3.2.1-7to-recovery-magisk-root-2018.3.15.img
Power off your phone (case sensitive). Disconnect your phone after execute this command:
fastboot oem HALT
4. Connect your phone to a charger. When charging animation appears, press and hold Volume Up and Power until you see "7to.com" logo. Tap the white cog to choose English language, tap Advanced - Magisk Root, and wait for the procedure complete.
========================SEPARATOR====================
This new guide is only based and tested on Nokia 6 TA-1000. Non TA-1000 (e.g. TA-1021) users need to find their own old OTA package to downgrade.
1. Downgrade the bootloader according to this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-upgrade-downgrade-nougat-oreo-t3752393
If you've flashed my homebrew Android O firmware, skip this step.
2. Use old method below to flash the new recovery again. You must use this recovery, otherwise you can't mount and root.
If you've flashed my homebrew Android O firmware, type this command will allow you to flash recovery:
Code:
fastboot-android oem dm-verity (your_serial_number's_md5_checksum)
3. Use old method below to enter recovery. To load English interface, tap the white cog on the top-right corner, then tap "English" and OK button, just wait few seconds.
4. Tap "Advanced" - "Magisk ROOT" and swipe.
5. If you meet recovery loop after rooted, flash the package misc_initial.zip attached below to escape from recovery loop.
That's it. It's not recommended to receive any newer OTA update since it will overwrite bootloader to patched state.
If you're using TA-1000, you can also try to flash Android 8.1 Homebrew Firmware before rooting.
I'm sorry if you found the guide looks confusing.
Following method for Nougat is archived, only for reference.
Yesterday, I got my own Nokia 6 Retail Phone. Since I’ve already rooted Nokia 5, 6 and 8 Prototype, now it’s time to find out how to root retail Nokia 6 without involving risky Qualcomm EDL Mode.
It works on any variant of Nokia 6 in theory, but I only tested it on D1C/TA-1000.
If there’s a custom recovery for Nokia 2/3/5 released, the guide also works on them. But I’ve tested it on a Nokia 8 retail phone, it doesn’t work on it.
To Nokia 7 and 8 Users, You may want to read this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3729396

First, you need to download OFW of Nokia 6, install OST LA and patch it.
You can download them from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ia-8-official-firmware-links-updated-t3678487
(Although the link is for Nokia 8, firmware for Nokia 6 is still available)

If you own an unlocked prototype device, just skip to step 6.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Open OST LA from INSTALLATION DIRECTORY DIRECTLY instead of Start Menu.
2. Load your OFW you downloaded with extension name nb0.
3. Power off your phone, then connect it to your PC. This will boot your phone to “Download mode” directly, in fact it’s fastboot mode.
4. Click “Edit Phone Info” on OST LA. This will load a service purposed bootloader. When your phone reboots and re-enters the Download mode, the service purposed bootloader is now loaded.
5. You can close OST LA when it prompts “Boot FTM mode fail”, or just kill it in task manager if it’s not responding.
6. Open a command prompt or PowerShell in OST LA Installation Directory, then execute this command to flash a custom recovery:
Code:
.\fastboot-android flash recovery E:\recovery.img
I assume that you put the custom recovery in drive E and named as recovery.img.
You can also use your own fastboot if you want, but I’ll prefer the one provided along with OST LA.
I used the recovery from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...veryteamwim-recovery-project-nokia-6-t3650499
7. Type this command but do not execute right now:
Code:
.\fastboot-android reboot
8. Now this step is a little tricky. Press and hold [Volume Up] and [Power] on your phone, then execute the command above at the same time. DO NOT RELEASE both keys on your phone until your phone entered the custom recovery.
9. Now your phone has entered a custom recovery. In this example, we’re using TWRP from Chinese 7to forum, only Chinese is available. I believe most of members on XDA can’t read Chinese, so I’ll attach screenshots. Simply tap “Advanced” – “SuperSU ROOT” will root your phone. If you prefer your own root zip update package, tap “Install Zip” then flash your own zip package in your storage, or tap “Advanced” – “ADB Sideload” then use ADB to sideload a zip package.
You can install the Materialized Theme for TWRP to get English interface from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/theme-twrp-materialised-dark-light-play-t2915584 by @z31s1g

Click to collapse
Currently, DO NOT FLASH Magisk, or your phone will brick as Qualcomm 900E.
You can only use Magisk Root method in latest Android O Update, which I'll cover later.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
10. After your phone rooted, you can reboot your phone. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTA UPDATES OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK AT STOCK RECOVERY, but I’ll recommend you to disable automatic update in settings.
That’s wraps up the whole guide. Please do feedback if there’s something wrong.

Special thanks:

@hawwin88 for providing info about adding English Interface to recovery.
UPDATE: Uploaded the SuperSU ZIP (verify-xinkid.zip) used in this recovery.

Fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
And after flashing completed hold both volume+ and power button and type this command
Fastboot reboot
Don't release buttons and after few seconds you enter Chinese recovery swipe it to right and use screen shots to root your device, after that reboot to system you can find it from screenshot, it go to download mod and then type

If you're running Windows Vista or Windows 7, you can open a command prompt from installation directory by click right button on the mouse while holding Shift key on the keyboard.
If you're running Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10, you can open a command prompt or PowerShell from the left corner "File" button. Administrators privilege is optional.
Also, as I mentioned:
You can also use your own fastboot if you want.

IDK but you should have change/put the title of this topic as Nokia 6 - TA 1000 (Chinese variant) rather than Retail Phone.
Well, getting root is definitely a temptation but since I'm just a noob and the HMD hasn't release any official firmware/tool yet to recover the phone if thing goes wrong, I guess I'll wait a little bit longer then.

As I mentioned on the topic, it works on any variant, not only China Variant TA-1000 and Hong Kong Variant TA-1003.
 @same6630 tested on a TA-1021 which is a global variant.

HMD released official firmware of Nokia 6 of course, and it's needed to flash a recovery.

Mine
I got some screenshots....

Did someone successfully rooted his Nokia 6 TA-1033?

So just to be clear before I do this to my TA-1000; how do I go about to update it later if I want to update it? For example, my TA-1000 still don't have the 7.1.2 update, and the 8.0 update coming later would be something I want as well.
Do I just update through zip files, or will I simply not be able to update?

After you rooted your phone, you're not able to install any update until you reinstall stock rom.

Cannot flash RN7Pro

Hi
I can't flash my redmi note 7 pro.
Bootloader is unlocked: I did the procedure, there is the unlocked logo at boot, and Dev options says "OEM unlock: device already unlocked".
I tried the Pixel Experience way, I ran the command "fastboot flash recovery" under Windows (opens a shell window that immediately closes) and under Linux (nothing happens), and I also tried the Xiaomi flash tool which ends up with a "cannot find the file flash all bat".
Would someone have any idea?
Thanks!!

Thanks a lot for your reply. I'll try that as soon as I have some time.
Just another question:
I am running MIUI Global 11.0.4.0 | Stable (PFGMIXM) at the moment. Which is not the same as you indicated (I believe yours is Indian version dated 22 Oct 2019).
This page does not include any Global rom: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/violet/
And the Global ROM available on MIUI website under the RN7Pro page (https://c.mi.com//miuidownload/detail?device=1700360) is noted "lavender" and not "violet" - and I do not want to risk installing the wrong firmware, I've read a few topics and it does not ends well.
So bottom line: which one should I work with?
thanks again!

OK, I've found 2 options:
This one here on XDA:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7-pro/how-to/miui-11-public-beta-violet-t3973921
(dowloading the "Fastboot ROM V11.0.6.0")
But it is 11.0.6.0 while my phone is under 11.0.4.0: is this a problem?
This other one:
Note 7 Europe V11.0.4.0.PFGEUXM at: https://www.leakite.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-7-pro-firmware-fastboot-recovery-rom/
It's not exactly the same code (PFGEUXM instead of PFGMIXM), I don't know if it makes any difference?
Sorry for keeping asking question, but I'd better be safe since I am very new to this kind of things...
and thanks a lot for your help and patience.

HI again
it still won't flash no matter what.
I'll deal with it
the reason I wanted to flash was essentially to remove all non necessarry stuff, which I did by following the "remove bloatware" thread.
thanks anyway

Thanks!
Based on PE instructions (https://telegra.ph/Flashing-PE-for-the-first-time-using-the-AOSP-Recovery--Or-updating-12-06) and if I understand properly:
- I download the firmware and Aosp recovery
- I enter in fastboot and connect the phone to PC, then I type fastboot flash recovery.img (in folder Download+Recovery)
- Then reboot into the new recovery
- Then Tap the power + vol up(2 times vol up) together once or twice and the AOSP recovery menu will pop up
- I then type adb sideload NameofthePErom.zip
- Then: Use the volume keys to select Factory Reset and confirm. ( If you want to format data if not just ignore this part )
- Reboot!
Am I correct?
I'll give it a try even though I don't understand why flashing aosp would work when flashing other stuff didn't... But who knows!
Will let you guys know anyway.

Also check the recovery in the extracted folder, I got a twrp recovery so I guess I have facee issues with flashme.bat (immediate close).
If u face that issue, download aosp recovery separately or from their telegram channel and flash using fastboot cmd and do the rest..
