⚠️ Warning

After unlocking the BootLoader, you may encounter the following situations:

  • Software or hardware not working properly or even damaged.
  • Loss of data stored in the device.
  • Credit card theft, or other financial loss.

If you're experiencing any of the above, you should take all the responsibility yourself as this is the risk you may encounter when unlocking BootLoader. This obviously does not cover all risks. You've been warned.

  • Warranty lost. Not only the base warranty, but some of the extra extended warranties (such as Mi Care or broken-screen warranty) that you have purchased may also be lost according to the exclusions provided by Xiaomi.
  • Hardware level self-destruct like Samsung Knox. TEE-related features will be permanently damaged. There is no way to restore other than by replacing the motherboard.
  • Functional anomalies after flashing a third-party system due to closed-source kernel source code.
  • Device or account banned by unlocking BootLoader.

If you're experiencing any of the above, consider yourself damned. Ever since Xiaomi restricted unlocking BootLoader, it has been against Xiaomi's 'geek' spirit and even the GPL. Xiaomi's restrictions on BootLoader unlocking are endless, and there's nothing we as developers can do about it.

🔖 FAQs

  • Q: Why does the unlock tool still remind me to wait 168/360 (or more) hours?

    • A: By principle, this PoC only bypasses the restrictions added for HyperOS. You still need to comply with the restrictions for MIUI.

  • Q: The device shows Couldn't verify, wait a minute or two and try again.

    • A: This is normal, the binding request on the device side has been blocked by our script. The actual binding result is subject to the script prompt.

  • Q: Binding failed with error code 401.

    • A: Your Xiaomi account credentials have expired, you need to log out and log in again in your device.

  • Q: Binding failed with error code 20086.

    • A: Your device credentials have expired, you need to reboot your device.

  • Q: Binding failed with error code 20090 or 20091.

    • A: Device's Security Device Credential Manager function failure, contact after-sales.

  • Q: Binding failed with error code 30001.
