Redmi K20 Pro, known by the codename raphaelin, remains a powerhouse in 2026. However, many users face a major hurdle after performing a factory reset: the Mi Cloud Lock (This device is locked) or the Google FRP (Factory Reset Protection). If you have forgotten your credentials, you need a specialized solution to regain access.
In this guide on gsmxr.in, we provide the latest working methods and the necessary files to bypass Mi Account and FRP locks on the Redmi K20 Pro using EDL mode.
Why Does the Redmi K20 Pro Get Locked?
Xiaomi’s security system links the device to a Mi Account to prevent unauthorized use if the phone is lost or stolen. Similarly, Google’s FRP lock triggers if the device is reset without removing the Google account first. For the raphaelin model, standard bypass tricks often fail, requiring a 9008 EDL Mode intervention.
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Drivers: Essential for the PC to recognize the phone in EDL mode.
USB Data Cable: Use a high-quality cable to avoid connection drops.
Unlock Tool or UMT: While some free tools exist, UnlockTool or UMT (Ultimate Multi Tool) are the most reliable for one-click bypass.
Redmi K20 Pro EDL Test Points: You will need to short two specific points on the motherboard to enter 9008 mode.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlock Mi Account & FRP
Step 1: Enter EDL Mode (9008)
The Redmi K20 Pro requires a hardware trigger for EDL mode.
Power off the device.
Remove the back cover carefully.
Locate the two EDL Test Points (usually found near the battery connector).
Short these two points with tweezers while plugging the USB cable into your PC.
Check Device Manager on your PC; it should show “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.”
Step 2: Using the Unlock File/Tool
Once connected, follow these steps in your preferred tool:
UnlockTool: Go to the Mi Tab > Security > Search for Redmi K20 Pro (raphaelin). Click on [EDL] Reset Mi Cloud and then Erase FRP.
Mi Flash Tool (Free Method): If you have the specific persist.img or reset firmware, load it into Mi Flash, select “Clean All,” and flash the file.
Step 3: Post-Unlock Setup (Anti-Relock)
After the device reboots, do not connect to Wi-Fi immediately.
Skip the initial setup screens.
Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI Version 7 times).
Turn on USB Debugging.
Use an ADB tool to disable “Find Device” and “Mi Cloud Sync” packages. This prevents the phone from relocking as soon as it connects to the internet.
