So that's why unlocking the bootloader on my dad's phone doesn't work. This really sucks, I hope there's some other way to do it because HyperOS is straight ass.
You could look for a hardware vulnerability. I doubt they would be so careless but you never know.
Based on how much HyperOS (and the fucking name) sucks, I wouldn't be surprised if someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader. I really hope someone does soon because I really don't want my dad to continue getting tortured by having to use it.
I've decided a long time ago I won't buy Xiaomi phone again unless it's my only choice... if that's true then it's no more a choice Anybody knows what are OnePlus and Oppo polices with unlocking bootloader ?
When I was trying to unlock the bootloader, Mi flash tool told me there's an update (v7.?) and gave me the link to download the newer version, when I tried to download it every browser I used gave an error in the website even with VPN Now reading this news , even if it's still unofficial.... I was wondering if Xiaomi retracted the update because it's actually preparing to close the program
Is this a good news or a bad news?
Same for PoCo ? It seems the PoCo F3 is one of the phone with the most custom ROM development on XDA, very popular.
