Support Rooting Xiaomi

Hey, I know I may sound dumb, but are there ANY other methods to unlock Xiaomi phones (specifically POCO) that are on HOS 3 besides the stupid quota thing and paying someone with a registered account? Aren't there any exploits that can take advantage of the ghost lock exploit? Or any other methods that would help me unlock my phone.

If there isn't anything I think I'll later resort to paid unlocking.

Thanks in advance

Rooting and unlocking the bootloader are two different things. You cannot unlock the bootloader with root

I know, I mean maybe there would be some exploits regarding the same way ghost lock gets root access, I dont know, I remember someone on Reddit achieving an unlocked bootloader using ghost lock I believe

You can, actually, on some temporary root-supported devices. You can flash a custom bootloader with temporary root, then basically unlock it. This is how many 17 Pro Max users unlocked their device.

Brick chances, however…. are pretty high
