MiFlashUnlock

MiFlashUnlock is a software for unlocking bootloaders of mobile devices from Xiaomi. The application will help owners of Mi devices with unlocking.

Use and purpose of the program

The main purpose of MiFlashUnlock, which is clear from the name of the program, is to unlock bootloaders on various Xiaomi portable devices. But what is the purpose of this operation and what does it lead to? First of all, it is necessary to familiarize and understand what the term Bootloader means. Bootloader, or our "bootloader", is a special and very important software that provides activation of the Android OS. As a rule, manufacturers block access to such a significant system mechanism. This is done in order to protect against unfair and illegal sale of devices on the Chinese market. That is, a speculator or reseller will not be able to change the data of the original firmware (MIUI) or tear it down and put another. Thus, the buyer is protected from buying a defective smartphone, which will have endless annoying ads or malicious applications and viruses. But in addition to the positive aspects and provide protection, the bootloader operating system creates a number of restrictions for the installation of third-party firmware on the device. If the user decides to modify the OS for personal purposes, he will not succeed. For this purpose, the MiFlashUnlock application was developed, which will unlock the Bootloader.

Unlock process

First of all, you need to visit the official website of the developer and submit an application for an unlock code. In order to get the code, it is desirable to write "software update" in the form where you specify the reason. Such a response will not cause censure on the part of the manufacturer. Then log in to your Xiaomi account and enter the unique identifier of your device (IMEI). This serial number is usually indicated on the box. After that, you will receive a code in the form of SMS on the specified number. You will have to wait for the message for two weeks, so exactly when it may come is unknown. Now connect the device to the PC and enter the received code in MiFlashUnlock.

Results

The utility is very easy to use. Despite the lack of a Russian interface, navigation in the application is convenient and clear. Nevertheless, there is another version of the program in the network, a little outdated, but already with Russian localization.
