Welcome to our repository for hacking and rooting of the Xiaomi Smart Home Devices. We provide you methods how to root your device without opening it or breaking the warranty seal (on your own risk).
We moved the documentation of the devices (photos, datasheets, uart logs, etc) to a new repo dustcloud-documentation
Please take a look at the Dustcloud Wiki, which also contains instructions on how to root and flash your device: (https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud/wiki)
