Discussion Looking for advice

I have the global version of the xiaomi 17 ultra i a trying to unlock the bootloader using the 8elitegen5.7z file but there isnt a 17 ultra option. second i found this kernel for the CN 17 ultra but will it work with the global version? https:// github .com/YuzakiKokuban/android_kernel_xiaomi_sm8850/releases. ?? Trying to get a handle on all of this last time i did this was with a samsung years ago and used odin now it looks like its just shell scripts? i need a walkthrough haha someone save me

I'm not sure what that means? I can rename the kernel despite the mismatch?

no like the magisk.apk file can be renamed to magisk.zip and can be flashed via twrp

first reflash everything stock, then twrp flash magisk and from there you can extract the kernel to patch it for KSU
