For flashing enthusiasts, unlocking the Bootloader (BL) is essential. Only after it is unlocked can various modification operations be performed. However, for ordinary users, unlocking at will is not a good thing, and many manufacturers have strictly controlled it.Xiaomi recently released ThePaper OSBL unlock announcement, and the rules are further tightened.
Starting from January 1, 2025, users who pass the application can unlock up to 1 bound device during the validity period of the permission.
In contrast, from November 8, 2023 to December 31, 2024, users who pass the application can unlock up to 3 bound devices.
In fact, Xiaomi officials emphasized last year that the bootloader unlocking permission after upgrading to Xiaomi Pascal OS will only be available to developers and mobile phone enthusiasts.
For ordinary users, officials strongly recommend keeping the bootloader lock in the locked state (default state) without unlocking it.
In addition, for security reasons, if the bootloader lock under the MIUI system is unlocked, you will not be able to receive updates from Xiaomi ThePaper OS.
If you want to receive updates from Xiaomi ThePaper OS, please re-lock the bootloader lock.
