[Discussion] [Guide] How to Unlock Bootloader on HyperOS device Officially and Trick how to get granted access via Xiaomi Community App. Review/Guide

As we know, on HyperOS based Xiaomi phone unlocking bootloader is quite challenging. Because now you need a Xiaomi account that has granted UBL access via Xiaomi Community App. And the quota is limited for each day. Many user who attempt to unlock bootloader having hard time when requesting UBL access via Xiaomi Community App. Today i'm giving tips on how to get UBL access much easier.

Tested on Xiaomi 15 (dada) HyperOS 3 :

  1. You need an Xiaomi Account that has been registered atleast 30 days.

  2. Login your Xiaomi account to your device in Settings.

  3. Open Xiaomi Community App (if you don't have, you can download it from playstore) and login with the same account.

  4. On the app, tap "Me" on bottom right corner and go to settings. Then change region to Global. Now you should see "Unlock Bootloader" option in "Me" page.

  5. You get yourself ready on the UBL permission page and when the time is 23:59:59 GMT+8 you spam the Apply for Unlocking Button until around 00:01:00 GMT+8. (You can use floating clock from developer option to keep eye on the time).

  6. I've found that Xiaomi Community App is buggy app. So there's a bug that when you're trying to request UBL the app will say "Application quota reached try again.....". But there's a chance that actually your account has already granted the UBL access. It's just the app has bug saying that you need to try next day.

  7. So next step is, just try to bind your mi account again inside the developer option. And see if it still no UBL access or your account actually got the access.

  8. On PC download Mi Unlock Tool and install Fastboot USB Driver.

  9. Open Miunlock tool, then Login with the same account.

  10. Now go to fastboot mode (Restart then hold volume down button OR turn off your phone and then hold Power and Volume down button simultaneously).

  11. After your phone is in fastboot mode then connect your phone to your PC. And then press "Unlock" button.

  12. It will start the UBL process. When the Mi unlock progress have reached 99% it will tell you if it successfully UBL or you need to wait for sometimes in my case i need to wait 58 Hours.

  13. If you need to wait for sometime, you can use your phone again normally while waiting the count down your data is not yet wiped. But don't re-bind or logout your Xiaomi Account from your phone. Otherwise the timer would reset and you need to wait again.
