I meant my personal learning about Xiaomi install methods. These are quite different from my earlier Samsung experience. But you already have Xiaomi experience.
@Fougor, you said that your device is already unlocked, so i understand that YOU have unlocked it…
when you unlock a bootloader, that imply a factory-reset (wipe /data : reinitialisation of the device) , that could explain the chinese menu.
if you can access to the fastboot mode, then you can install TWRP or recovery-e instead of the chinese one.
Are you talking about /e/OS Unofficial?
Will this unofficial version be updated regularly?
I’m willing to give it a try.
However, since it’s /e/OS, does this part of the installation ( https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/davinci/install/variant1/ ) remain the same, where it talks about downloading recovery.img and further down super_empty.img even though it’s not Lineage?
« Installing a custom recovery using fastboot
Download Lineage Recovery. Simply download the latest recovery file, named recovery.img.*

Important: Other recoveries may not work for installation or updates. We strongly recommend to use the one linked above!*
Download super_empty.img since your device uses retrofitted dynamic partitions.* »
There may be an anti-rollback protection, preventing you to downgrade (can lead to a bricked device).
For example, downgrading from Android 13 to /e/OS S (Android 12).

Yes, I had read something about this and I understood it.
I think that /e/OS T is okay, it is Android 13
T stands for android 13 and S for android 12 right?
I don’t understand what the firmware update is for. Will it erase all Lineage?
Do I have to do it now? Is it to install /e/Os?
Do you want to give me more explanation, as you say “if necessary”?
