Alternative unlock bootloader
Unlocking the Bootloader on Redmi Note 13 4G NFC and Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (HyperOS)
After struggling with delays and account errors on the MI Community app, I found an effective method online to unlock the bootloader on HyperOS devices.
Steps to Bypass MI Community Account Error and Unlock the Bootloader on HyperOS:
Requirements:
- HyperOS-BootLoader-Bypass-V2:
- Download the Settings.apk file:
- Download here - Telegram Link
- Download and install the MI Unlock Tool:
Instructions:
- Log in to your MI account.
- Uninstall the MI Community app—you won't need it anymore.
- Install the Settings.apk from this message. Your device settings will now be in English, resembling MIUI 14.
- Go to Developer Settings and toggle USB Debugging (turn it off, then on again).
- Enable OEM Unlock.
- Connect your phone to your computer.
- Open the HyperOS-BootLoader-Bypass-V2 folder and run the bypass.cmd script. (If everything is successful, you'll see a green "SUCCESS" message and a prompt to link your phone to your MI account in the phone settings.)
- In Developer Settings, disable Wi-Fi and ensure Mobile Internet is enabled.
- Open "MI Unlock Status" and link your account to your phone. (Make sure mobile data is on, and Wi-Fi is off. You’ll receive a notification confirming that your account is linked.)
- Open MI Unlock and log in to your account.
- Enter FASTBOOT mode on your phone by holding down the volume down and power buttons until FASTBOOT appears on the display.
- Connect your phone to your computer.
- In MI Unlock, click UNLOCK and accept all the prompts.
- You should now see a timer. In my case, it was 72 hours, but it may vary depending on your situation.
- Reboot your phone by long-pressing the power button and use it normally. After the timer expires, repeat steps 11 to 13 to complete the process.
- Congratulations! Your bootloader is now unlocked.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Do not log out of your MI account on your phone.
- Do not reset the settings.
- Do not reinstall the Settings application (even though the language might be inconvenient for now).
- Do not update your firmware until the process is fully complete.
