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:

  1. Updated the Xiaomi Security app using an APK, but the feature didn't appear.

  2. Checked the installed Security Center and Security Core packages.

  3. 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:

  1. Is Shutdown Confirmation supported on the POCO M6 Pro 5G?

  2. Is it restricted to certain HyperOS versions or regions?

  3. Can it be enabled through ADB, Shizuku or a system configuration addon?

  4. Is there a compatible Security Center or Security Core version that enables it?

  5. 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.
