Xiaomi HyperOS - Bootloader Unlock Rules Update Announcement

Dear Xiaomi Fans,

As a Human-centric Operating System designed and tailored to connect personal devices, cars, and smart home products in one smart ecosystem, Xiaomi HyperOS places a paramount focus on security.

To ensure a safe and stable experience for our users, the bootloader unlocking permission will only be available to certain users after upgrading to Xiaomi HyperOS. However, unlocking the bootloader may compromise the security of the devices running Xiaomi HyperOS and lead to data leakage. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your understanding and support!

The unlocking rules are as follows:

- For regular users, it is highly recommended to leave the bootloader locked (default state) and not unlock it.

- For enthusiasts who wish to customize their phones and are fully aware of the risks associated with unlocking devices, you can apply for unlocking permission through the Xiaomi Community. You can simply go to this page and download version 5.3.31 or above, open the app > go to ME > open Unlock bootloader and apply for permission following the instructions.

- Previous operating systems, such as MIUI 14, still retain the ability to unlock. Users will no longer receive Xiaomi HyperOS updates if they leave their devices unlocked. To receive the Xiaomi HyperOS updates, please get in touch with after-sales service.

The device upgrade sequence of Xiaomi HyperOS depends on the comprehensive product development process; please bear with us and wait for the device upgrade.

Thank you again for your understanding and support.

We are better together

Xiaomi Community
