5 Common Mi Lock Types & The Most Effective Unlock Solutions

Choose your Xiaomi lock type below for detailed unlock methods. Each solution is tested and verified to work with the latest MIUI and HyperOS versions.

Mi Account Lock (also known as Mi Cloud Lock) prevents Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device from activating, displaying "This device is locked. Sign in with Mi Account." Unlock Mi Account to regain full device access.

Mi Screen Lock protects your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device with PIN, pattern, password, fingerprint, or face unlock. Remove screen lock when you're locked out or forgot your credentials.

Google FRP (Factory Reset Protection) locks your Mi device after a factory reset, requiring the previously synced Google account to verify. Bypass FRP to regain full device access without the original credentials.

Mi Bootloader Lock restricts your Xiaomi device to official MIUI/HyperOS firmware only. Unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs, gain root access, and take full control of your device.

SIM Lock (carrier lock) restricts your Mi device to a single carrier network. Unlock SIM to use any carrier's SIM card freely and enjoy network freedom on your Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device.
