MiFlash uses fastboot writing.
SP Flash Tool uses eMMC writing.

Try using sp flash tool.
But if you are on V12.0.5.0 or higher, you need to bypass authorization and flash in EDL mode: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-flash-in-edl-with-no-auth-for-free.4229683/

Xiaomi flash tool is an official tool specifically only for Xiaomi devices, it can flash in fastboot mode and download mode both.
Sp flash is an unofficial tool which works for almost every device with Mediatek chipset, and it can flash only in download mode.

Probably an unusual question:
I hate android 10/11, they simply abuse of "security" bs and prevents us of doing what we want with our phones.
Is it possible to get rid of dynamic partitions and install some android 9 (Pie) from old days of freedom?

Do you mean some rom like GSI ?
I have no ideia, my friend.
But, android 9, 10, 11 and 12 are totally compatible.
So, I think yes, you can.

[GUIDE][MTK] How to bypass detection for UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER ?

WARNINGS:
First of all you should BACKUP IMEI.
Remember to NEVER touch the NVRAM.
People who does NOT backup imei or touches the NVRAM, are susceptible to the loss of IMEI.
If you try to share NVDATA between different devices, it may cause bootloop due verification of IMEI (slot1).
If you already lost IMEI, you probably may need to write IMEI again.
Works with:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 and ALL other MediaTek devices which uses SECCFG for unlocking/locking bootloader.
How does it work ?
After you turn on the device, the booting procedures checks if the device is unlocked and if there is any modified partition.
If your device is locked and any partition is modified, the device will not boot.
If your device is unlocked, the device will boot perfectly.
On booting, the device verifies if the device is unlocked or not, inside the partition: SECCFG.
After booting procedures, the partition SECCFG can NOT be read.
Due this, some variable settings are written to the partition NVDATA, because the system can read the partition NVDATA.
These variable settings contain details about locked/unlocked bootlader as many other details about the developer settings and some sensitive data like IMEI, Wifi MAC and Bluetooth MAC.
So, we just need to mix an unlocked SECCFG together a locked NVDATA.
How to do ? (Without formatting data)
1. Be sure to have UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
2. Backup the partition: SECCFG.
3. Format the partition: SECCFG. (Begin Address: 0x17800000 Format Length: 0x800000)
4. Format the partition NVDATA. (Begin Address: 0xc4a2000 Format Length: : 0x4000000)
5. Boot the device. It will write a new NVDATA.
6. Turn off the device.
7. Flash the partition SECCFG (with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER).
Done !

How to do ? (Formatting data)

2. Backup the partition: SECCFG.
3. Backup your files and data, if you want.
4. Now, RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER. Or just erase the partition: SECCFG.
5. Format user data. It will erase NVDATA too.
6. Boot the device once, you don't need to accept terms or enter in system. It will write a new NVDATA.
7. Turn off the device.
8. Flash the partition SECCFG (with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER).
Done !

Since momo is closed source, you should not care for its results.
Momo uses many and many detections by native methods and they are hidden to anyone.
So, no one banking app can use momo detections.
But, the answer is: NO, momo can NOT detect unlocked bootloader using my method. And no other app or any other method can detect unlocked bootloader using my method.

Ps: Momo is already on version 4.3.1:

I don't know which menu you are describing, but on some Xiaomi devices there is a menu that allows you to reboot to bootloader, recovery, fastbootd etc and do some tests. I think it is part of MIUI Recovery. On some phones it is in Chinese by default (mostly those bought in China, but also some bought outside China), but you can change the language to English by pressing the 中文 button.

Redmi Note 5 pro stuck on mi logo screen ( possibly hard bricked ) FLASH XBL ERROR

Hello, when i woke up today i found my phone had switched off ( possibly battery drained overnight ), but the LED light on it was still blinking continuously. I tried to switch it on but it got stuck on the mi logo.
Current situation : I can only access fastboot mode, TWRP recovery altough installed won't open up and just freezes on the introduction screen ( not accessible ) , and as previously mentioned I'm stuck on the MI logo screen.
ROM used : I was on pixel experience android 11 custom rom
What I tried so far : a) I tried to flash the global stable miui rom using the miflash tool, but i get this error. ( FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Write Protected')

a point to note is that I have verified that my bootloader is unlocked. ( Also tried the same with a different version of the global stable miui rom , still the same error )
b) I also tried to flash the ROM using the XiaMiTool V2 but I get the same "flash xbl error".
I have tried everything I knew and yet my phone is as useless as a rock right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Also for those who want to unlock the bootloader at the first time and can save the persist patririon.
What are we need:
* MSMTools
* working fastboot
Let's start:
* reboot your phone in fastboot mode
* enter in cmd console
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
in that step we determine the current slot to extract the correct partitions
* start MSMTool program

P.S. sorry for my english

Are you able to expand this tutorial on how to change partitions or on how to "update" msm so it uses a later version of OOS to unbrick the device?
The actual msm tool for OP9 Pro would install OOS11. But can it be changed to flash OOS12?

this tutorial only for how to extract partitions. android 11, 12, coloros, no matter.
for others can't help you

This part was empty for me:
Command "Fastboot devices" was working..

The tutorial in the first post is somewhat misleading. Fastboot is needed to flash back the partitions. In order for the partitions to be secured with the MSM tool, the phone must be in the EDL mode.
1. that means shutdown the phone
2. Start the MSM tool and press F8 on the keyboard
3. Press both volume keys at the same time and then connect the USB cable
4. Now the tool would have to recognize your phone and the partitions can be selected
The rest is well described in the first post.

I have a question, Im new in xda and I want to backup modest 1/2 and persist. In this post you can do it in MSM but I cannot see modemst1 or 2 in the partitions checkbox. They have another name? Or I cannot backup those partitions via MSM?

No, using the MSM tool to do a flash readback, which saves most of the firmware to the C: drive

If your phone is already on, you can also use the following command in command prompt to use ADB to reboot into EDL.
adb reboot edl

Still waiting for an answer from OP or anyone else: After we have made a flash read-back via MSM, how are these firmware files restored????

Flashed via Fastboot. For example if you extract boot.img from read-back and you want to restore the boot.img. Reboot your device into Fastboot and enter the following command in command prompt on your computer:
fastboot flash boot boot.img.
Depending on what you are flashing, you need to change the command accordingly. e.g vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img

I tried that a year ago but because of skill issue I wasn't able to fix my device when it bricked so we went to the carrier we bought it at and we said that it happened during an OTA update

If you need help rooting it or unbricking, let me know

You don't need TWRP for root, just get unlocked bootloader and get the boot.img file from your rom and use the Magisk app to patch it then flash it with fastboot
Code:
Fastboot.exe flash boot magicbootimg.img

Same device and same rom, rooted already

Download the Full ROM (Fastboot) which is bigger and you can find the "boot.img" easier.

I have downloaded the ROM from https://c.mi.com
Official Xiaomi Rom download site but the fastboot logo changed and I no longer have the bunny on fastboot

Send me a screen shot of your about screen and I will send you a modified boot.img but you can do it yourself from the link I sent you. if you look at their download links they are all from mi servers.

First you need to unlock the bootloader

Then follow these steps:
1 - Download the Fastboot ROM file for your device
2 - Extract the boot.img file from the ROM file, then copy it to your device's storage
3- Download the Majesk app and install it, then flash the boot.img file from inside the Majesk, you will have a new file named Majesk_patch.img in your downloads folder, copy it to your computer
4 - Then download the ADB platform and open it and open the command prompt from within the folder "Make sure to copy the file that you flashed into Magisk from copying it into the folder"
5 - Put your phone into fastboot mode by pressing the power key and volume down, then connect it to the computer, and type the following command at the command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img " Here is the file that I copied inside the adb folder after changing its name to boot.img"
Then type the following command to restart the phone:
fastboot reboot
Congratulations, your phone has been successfully rooted
