How to Bypass Xiaomi HyperOS Bootloader Unlock Requirement!

In this guide, we will show you the steps to bypass Xiaomi’s HyperOS Bootloader Unlock requirement. Xiaomi has recently surprised everyone by ditching its evergreen MIUI with the new in-house HyperOS. The new underlying OS skin is a refined and enhanced version of the MIUI. It offers some key improvements in performance, AI, connectivity, and security [though you wouldn’t find any major differences in the UI/UX when compared with its predecessor].

However, for the tech enthusiasts, things couldn’t have got any worse. The Chinese OEM has made it extremely difficult to unlock the bootloader on its device running the latest HyperOS by implementing some weird rules that you’ll have to checkmark beforehand. These include the likes of reaching community level 5 and a requirement for a passport as well as your bank account details for verification!

While the latter two are yet to be officially announced, the process of reaching community level 5 is in itself quite a challenging task and would end up taking ages. Fortunately, a developer has found a nifty workaround using which you could bypass Xiaomi’s HyperOS Bootloader Unlock requirement. And in this guide, we will make you aware of that tweak. So without further ado, let’s get started.

How to Bypass Xiaomi’s HyperOS Bootloader Unlock Requirement!

While the below process comes with the obvious drawbacks of data wipe and warranty being nullified [?], but apart from that, there might be some unforeseen issues as well, because we are using a partially unofficial method to get the job done. So proceed ahead at your own risk. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing these steps.

NOTE: Both the bypass methods given below will only work for China devices that have been updated from MIUI to HyperOS. It will not work on non-Chinese devices or Chinese devices running HyperOS out of the box. Keeping that in mind, let’s get started.

METHOD 1 [NEW]

Requirements

1. Xiaomi must not have forced your account or device to go through the qualification.
2. A valid SIM card must be inserted with access to the internet.
3. The device should be running an official version of HyperOS.
4. Do note that this tool will only bypass all the HyperOS restrictions, you still have to comply with MIUI’s restrictions [waiting for 168 hours].
5. Moreover, each Xiaomi account can only unlock 1 phone per month and 3 phones per year.

Instructions

1. Head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on OS version 7 times.
2. Then go to Additional Settings> Developer Options > Open Mi Unlock Status.
3. Now request unlocking, it will for whatever reason log everything necessary to forge the binding request
   1. Xiaomi recently patched it out – they switched to RSA with the private key unknown.
   2. You can still roll back to an earlier Settings app though – and it works perfectly!
   3. The tool will prompt you to try and roll back if it detects a patched version.
4. We disable mobile internet and send a forged request
   1. The ROM version is modified to be MIUI 14 instead of HyperOS.
   2. It might fail due to even more random and arbitrary restrictions..
5. Use the official Mi Unlock Tool and check how much you have to wait
   1. Do not eject the SIM card as the phone will constantly contact Xiaomi’s servers.
   2. Do not bind the account to another device or re-bind the same one.

Fix Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED]

If you are getting the Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED: Install canceled by user] error message, then here’s how you can fix it:

1. To begin with, enable Developer Options on your device.
2. Go there and enable USB Debugging (Security Settings).
3. Once that is done, tap on Reset to default values 5 times.

   

4. You should now see the “Turn on system optimization”.
5. So disable this feature and then check out the results.

METHOD 2

Requirements

First and foremost, your device as well as the Xiaomi account needs to checkmark the below-listed prerequisites beforehand.

• A valid device:

  • An unbanned* Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device.
  • Your device is running the official version of HyperOS.
  • (Update 2023/11/23) Your device is not forced to verify account qualification by Xiaomi.

• A valid SIM card:

  • Except for tablets that cannot use SIM cards.
  • SIM card must not be out of service.
  • SIM card needs to be able to access the internet.
  • Only 2 devices per valid SIM card are allowed to be unlocked to a valid SIM card within a three-month period.

• A valid Xiaomi account:

  • An unbanned Xiaomi account.
  • Each account can only unlock 1 phone in a month and 3 phones in a year.

• According to the unlocking instructions provided by Xiaomi, it will prohibit some accounts and devices from using the unlocking tool, which is called “risk control”.

So if that’s all well and good, then let’s get started with the steps to bypass Xiaomi’s HyperOS Bootloader Unlock requirement.

Instruction Steps

1. First off, download and extract the Bypass-1.0-fix-universal.zip.
2. Then download the latest version of PHP from its official website.
3. Now launch the setup and proceed with the steps to install it.
4. Then enable the OpenSSL and Curl extension in php.ini.
5. Now place the adb.php file in php-adb to the directory.
6. Then download platform-tools and place them in libraries.

   NOTE: Mac OS should rename adb to adb-darwin.

7. Now open a terminal and use a PHP interpreter to execute the script.

   NOTE: The files are there inside the Bypass ZIP file.

8. Then go to Settings > About Phone and tap MIUI Version 7 times.
9. Now go to Settings > Additional Settings > Development Options.
10. Then enable OEM Unlocking, USB Debugging, and USB Debugging (Security Settings).
11. Now login via a valid Xiaomi account and connect your device to your PC via USB cable.
12. Then follow the on-screen prompts of the script to successfully bind your device.
13. Once done, you could use the Mi Unlock Tool to check the time you need to wait.
14. During the waiting period, please use the device normally, keep the SIM card inserted, do not log out of your account or turn off Find My Phone, and do not re-bind the device until it is successfully unlocked. [The device will automatically send HeartBeat packets to the server every once in a while].
