Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo) Bootloader unlock problem - GSM-Forum

UAT says done successfully, but when I try to write TWRP recovery the phone doesn't accept custom flashes. Can UAT really unlock bootloader for this model ?

After unlocking bootloader only, I see that phone has lost IMEI numbers, how do I fix them? Does UAT create any backup before unlocking bootloader??

1. Power off device
2. Press and hold volume up + volume down insert usb cable
3. In some case requires special edl cable or test points
4. Install Qualcomm drivers if needed

Yes It does , just check your device fastboot info. it is showing Product : laurel_sprout but not Gingko , After bootloader unlock Please flash Global Firmware and check fastboot info.

By checking with the IMEI it is Redmi Note 8 Ginkgo, but laurel_sprout seems to be Xiaomi Mi A3, so this one is not Mi A3 at all, on ly if during the MI account reset by UMT or UAT I forget how I removed if it was touched.
As you see I am struggling with this phone since many months cause MI account is returning back, and at the first post you can see at that time UAT was not able to Unlock bootloader, but now with latest updates yes.
