Unlock Bootloader on Xiaomi 11T Pro (All Variants) (2025)

Perform this at your own risk. You will LOSE all data on your phone.

( I'm not responsible for any damage to your device )

This guide will walk you through the process of Unlocking your bootloader on Xiaomi 11T Pro.

Prerequisites:

• Backup all the files on phone as we will be resetting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
• Install ADB and Fastboot Drivers from here (Select the latest) -> https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool )
• Install drivers for Xiaomi 11T Pro -> https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-xiaomi-usb-driver-for-windows
• Download MiUnlock Tool -> https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

Unlocking the Bootloader:

• Go to "About Phone" in Settings and keep tapping on MIUI Version until it shows "You are now a developer"
• Navigate to "Additional Settings>Developer Options" and enable "OEM unlocking"
• Make sure you have a Mi account and your sim is inserted. In Developer options, select "Add account". Now your Mi Account is linked with your Device.
• On your PC, open MiUnlock Tool and login with the same Mi account you have used login to the tool.
• Power off your phone and boot into fastboot mode by long pressing the power button + volume down button.
• Connect your phone to your PC and click refresh in the MiUnlock Tool
• After clicking unlock, it will give your a wait duration. (Generally 168 hours, there's no known way to bypass this wait time) You can continue to use your phone meanwhile, but remember to backup before clicking unlock after your wait time is complete.
• After your wait is complete, click unlock and then click reboot. Your phone will now reset and boot up.

Enjoy.

I have attempted to unlock bootloader, it ask for 336h wait. Did they changed waiting time from one week to two? Is it because device is quite new and they don't want them to be unlocked?

depends on the Mi Account, is it a new sim or an old one? I checked and added a new one to the device and it gave 2 weeks of wait time. I just added my old one and it gave 7.4 days of waiting.

Is this true about warranty? I think that i read that unlocking bootloader is not reason to void it

Unlocking the boot loader shouldn't Void the warranty, installing a custom ROM will.

does systemless root also void the warranty?
I just need the adblocking stuff only

You don't have to root to have adblocking. Use private dns.

Use the "driver_install" to fix the issue. Connect the phone both normally and in Fastboot mode. It automatically installs the drivers.

Hi guys, same problem here, Mi Unlock won't recognise my phone. Actually when I connect the phone to the PC in fastboot mode, nothing happens... I've tried to use the solution above but it doesn't change anything. When I click on the "driver_install" nothing happen neither.

On the Mi Unlock software when I go to the parameters and that I check driver installation, it says it can't find "miusbdriver.exe" (something like that). I took the miusbdriver.exe from the other version folder (from the message of arash74 above) but it's a loop : It finds the file but it asks me to reconnect my phone and so on.

Any help would be nice ! Thanks

Did you try the 64bit version (driver_install_64) too?
It's worth a try to disable driver signature verification as well.

Thank you Arash for your answer mate, I just did it with this tutorial :

I was stuck at this step actually, I didn't understand that by unpluging and pluging back my phone it would install the drivers !

So now I guess I have to wait 161 hours to continue my unlocking thing but I'm glad I could fix that problem of undected phone, and if it helps someone else here it's also a good thing then.

So guys i solve the problem it will sound a liitle strange but i pot here maybe someone will face this in the future.
My problem was not the driver because fastboot shows my device and any flash tool no so and i tryed many many version nothing but at least i accidentally extracted the tool on the desktop and i didnt move in to a folder so and open and boom the villi was here!
I tryed move in a folder and not worked i think the problem was permission maybe i didn't know i am happy cuz it's fixed now so i have to wait 360 hours until unlock!

I have a question about warranty. If I will install my original ROM back would it make warranty valid again ?

If you unlock bootloader, no your warranty will not be void. However if you show up to a Mi service center with an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM, they will consider your warranty voided.

So there is no way to bring phone back to factory state.
PS.
Is there any other way to turn on call recording ?
