How to enter flash mode
Bootloader Unlocking
Like other Xiaomi devices, the user will have to acquire the bootloader unlock key: https://en.miui.com/unlock
The device will not unlock if the device isn't 7 days old (from the time when your device connects to internet and powered on, and linked with Mi Account)
Recovery mode
- Turn the device off (or restart also works)
- Hold Volume Up and Power button
- Once you feel vibration and phone turns on, release Power button
- Keep holding Volume Up until you get to recovery.
Flashing (Download, Fastboot) mode
- Same as recovery, but this time hold the Volume Down and Power keys.
Device notes
FDE
Use unl0kr instead osk-sdl
