In this guide, we will show you the steps to unlock the bootloader on any Xiaomi\/Poco\/Redmi\/Mi device. Apart from making quite a name for themselves in the budget domain, these devices have always been among the most noteworthy players in custom development. Whether it’s welcoming numerous mods and tweaks, flashing custom recovery, or gaining administrative access by rooting your device via Magisk, the possibilities stand endless.<\/p>\n
But before you could carry out any of these tasks, you will first have to checkmark an important prerequisite off the list- the bootloader on your Xiaomi\/Poco\/Redmi\/Mi device needs to be unlocked. However, as opposed to other OEMs, things are a little bit different here. For other devices, you just need to execute the fastboot flashing unlock command and your task stands complete.<\/p>\n
However, with Xiaomi, you will first have to create an account, add your ID to your device via carrier data, download a standalone Unlock Tool, sign to that tool using the same ID that is currently on your device, and the most infuriating of them all- wait for 168 hours after sending in the unlock request. So without any further ado, let’s show you how all of these could be carried out.<\/p>\n
