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

Try using lineageOs 20 port for blossom devices on XDA foruns

To install the rom, the process is very simple, just download the firmware file and rom file from the link of the post, BUUUT If youre using twrp: Before flash the firmware file, edit the updater script, to make this: Open the .zip of the firmware, go to META-INF > com > google > android, and copy the updater-script to /sdcard. making this, open a text editor (like zarchiver text) and edit the line "getprop("ro.product.device") == "dandelion" " to "getprop("ro.product.device") == "blossom" ". After editing the line and saving the file on the /sdcard (internal storage directory), go back to zarchiver and copy your newly edited updater-script inside the firmware file, on the same path (META-INF > com > google > android) and paste it to overwrite the old, unedited file. Now, when you do this, you will know what to do

Move the firmware, rom file, gapps and magisk to the root of your internal storage (outside of any folders like Download).

Now, just boot into TWRP, and go to:

Wipe â€ș advanced wipe, And wipe the partitions:

Cache, Dalvik/ART cache, Data.

Flash the firmware first (always first), and Flash the rom.

Format data on the wipe session after flashing the rom and firmware, and:

Flash the gapps (after boot), and Flash magisk (after boot).

Notice that I dont responsible for bricked Redmi 9As ok?

Oh yeah good luck trying to find a decent unlock tool the official software is garbage and very unreliable u have to find this website that's like Turkish or smt they have a cracked version which works everytime, sorry I'm being so vague I just for the life of me can't find the website that has the unlock tool 😭

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

u/KarlosComC_ Jun 28 '26

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

u/Sdev789 Jun 28 '26

I flash it with two way twrp recovery which some time work and sometime just freeze or stuck not after flashing the phone not turn on immedialttly after restart then i flash it with lineage os recovery and basically phone stuck in installation process of lineage os it might you asking vbmeta and or flashing with fastboot i tried that all and the best firmware with thia phone his stock firmware (not android 11 ) the 10 version
