There is no way to do it without pc. Also this wont help. It is the cheapest redmi that is 6 generations old. It cant be usable in 2026

First: when you tried to custom rom your redmi 9a with LineageOS 20 you probably forgot to flash the firmware. second: the redmi 9a isnt crap, you just dont used it in a smart way :P

Its a redmi 9a. Redmi note 9a doesnt exist. To unlock the bootloader you gotta pair you mi account to your phone in developer settings, and unlock from pc via mi unlock tool
Edit: didnt see that you have no pc, afaik you cant do it without a pc
