Device Specifications (Qualcomm Variant)
Model Name: Redmi 10 prime ( FOG )
Codename:fog / wind
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (SM6225)
Method: EDL Mode (9008)
Security: Requires EDL Auth (or patched firehose for specific tools)
Pre-Requisites for Repair
Before starting the process, ensure you have the following:
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Drivers installed on your PC.
A high-quality USB cable.
EDL Test Points: You will need to short the test points on the motherboard to enter 9008 mode.
Authorized Tool: Since this is a Qualcomm device with modern security, you will need UnlockTool, DFT Pro, or Hydra Tool.
Step 1: Enter EDL Mode
Power off the device.
Remove the back cover and locate the EDL Test Points (near the battery connector).
Short the two points using tweezers and connect the USB cable to the PC.
Check Device Manager; it should show as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.
Step 2: Unlock via Professional Tool (UnlockTool Example)
Open UnlockTool and navigate to the Xiaomi tab.
Search for Redmi 10C (FOG).
Select [EDL] ERASE FRP or [EDL] RESET MI CLOUD.
The tool will automatically detect the port, send the firehose loader, and clear the lock partitions.
Step 3: Anti-Relock (Important)
Once the device boots up, do not connect to Wi-Fi immediately. Disable the Find Device option and Mi Account Syncing to prevent the device from relocking.
Conclusion
Unlocking the Redmi 10 prime ( FOG ) is straightforward if you have the right Qualcomm loaders. If you encounter any “Unauthorized” errors, it means your tool does not currently support the server-side auth for this specific security patch.
