Thanks CTOnews.com netizen soft media new friend 1933769 clue delivery! CTOnews.com November 21 news, Xiaomi official announced earlier this month Bootloader unlock permission change: Since November 8, upgrade to Xiaomi surging OS Bootloader unlock permission will only be open to developers and mobile phone enthusiasts, among which the most important limit is "community growth level reaches 5 segments," causing a large number of users to complain.

In addition, for security reasons, if the Bootloader lock under MIUI system is unlocked, it will not receive the update push of Xiaomi surging OS. To receive the update push of Xiaomi surging OS, the Bootloader lock needs to be re-locked.

Blogger @MlgmXyysd said that his studio has successfully cracked the community account level limit of Xiaomi HyperOS Bootloader unlocking binding, and successfully tested it in Xiaomi 14, and the vulnerability can theoretically run on all devices running HyperOS (including devices upgraded from MIUI).

Of course, this just skips the community level limit. After successful cracking, you still have to wait 72 or 360 hours according to the rules to unlock Bootloader with the help of official tools.

As shown in the figure,@MlgmXyysd also needs to wait 168 hours before they release the complete PHP vulnerability script and PoC idea after the test machine is successfully unlocked.
