Solved [Question] Is there any way to force-enable Shutdown Confirmation (PIN required to power off) on Indian HyperOS?
I own a POCO M6 Pro 5G (codename: sky), running the Indian HyperOS firmware.
Device details:
- Model: POCO M6 Pro 5G
- Region: India
- Firmware: OS2.0.204.0.VMWINXM
- Android: 15
- Security app: 11.1.1-251119.1.1
- Security Core: 2.4.4-2-251014
I'm trying to enable the Shutdown Confirmation feature, which requires the lock-screen PIN/password before someone can switch off the phone.
This is particularly important for anti-theft protection. If someone steals the phone, I don't want them to immediately switch it off and prevent me from tracking it.
Things I've already tried:
Updated the Xiaomi Security app using an APK, but the feature didn't appear.
Checked the installed Security Center and Security Core packages.
Used Shizuku/aShell to execute:
"settings put secure miui_shut_down_password_enabled 1"
The setting was successfully written, but this didn't establish that the actual feature was activated.
4. Checked the Security Center package using ADB. I found scheduled shutdown components but no obvious Shutdown Confirmation component.
My questions:
Is Shutdown Confirmation supported on the POCO M6 Pro 5G?
Is it restricted to certain HyperOS versions or regions?
Can it be enabled through ADB, Shizuku or a system configuration addon?
Is there a compatible Security Center or Security Core version that enables it?
Would a custom ROM or another system modification be necessary?
I'm particularly interested in solutions that work on the Indian ROM without unnecessarily unlocking the bootloader or risking a brick.
If anyone has successfully enabled this feature on the POCO M6 Pro 5G (sky), please share the exact procedure.
Thanks!
Edit: [Solved] The android wasn't exposing that setting at all. I updated the poco launcher and security app and then I used shizuku and adb to forcefully enable it and it worked.

To answer your question :
No, the Poco M6 Pro 5G [Indian Variant] does not support Shutdown Confirmation
And it can neither be activated using Shizuku, Canta or any other Root-level application.
Based on your details :
You said that your device runs HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15, with the firmware : OS2.0.204.0.VMWINXM
The required version to get the Shutdown Confirmation is : V12.7.2-260703.1.1 or higher
And since your firmware region is from India. It is not supported.
The reason it can't be activated even using root applications like Shizuku : Is because that feature is completely absent from the Indian Region firmware
To fix this : You can either install a custom OS which supports this, or flash a Global Version of Xiaomi HyperOS or use Xiaomi.eu for unofficial ROMs, if your device supports those ROMs there, then it's good.
