Despite the restrictions Xiaomi imposes on its new HyperOS operating system, it seems the brand ignored the community They were able to unlock the HyperOS bootloader when they released it via and . social networks some users of the brand.

Although this was a significant leap of limitations and a major turning point for many, involves various risks that must be taken into account while performing this operation. The main benefit would be that we would be able to install third-party ROMs and even gain root access to the operating system, but these are elements that will not compensate many users who have seen the limitations Xiaomi has recently introduced.

More disadvantages than benefits when unlocking the bootloader in HyperOS

The first thing you need to know in this whole story is that, as most of you already know, unlocking the bootloader in HyperOS is much more complicated compared to what we have seen in MIUI in the past, but in addition to that, This will mean that we can no longer receive updates.

This is the main limitation that Xiaomi confirmed only a few days ago, so you should clearly know that performing this action will lead to a huge disadvantage when using your phone. In fact, in this sense, not only the boundaries of the brand have expanded, but also Xiaomi community has greatly increased the requirements To do this unlocking process.

So you can get an idea of ​​what requirements we have to meet. Some of those:

• We must have at least level five on Xiaomi forums
• We should actively participate in forums that solve other users’ problems.
• Only a maximum of three devices can be unlocked per year.
• Xiaomi must verify and confirm our identity in advance

User who approved this The method we used in the past on MIUI also works for HyperOS For this, Xiaomi used 14 but guarantees that it is compatible with all devices that integrate this operating system, but the waiting time to do this is up to seven days.

Still, the moral of this whole story is this: Considering the disadvantages involved, it is not worth performing this operation at all.and this is something that Xiaomi has managed to cover very well with the release of this operating system. We’ll see how this issue progresses from now on, but it’s clear that 3rd party ROMs will become much less common from now on.
