Xiaomi phones have unlockable bootloaders, so rooting is really trivial, but guess what? You need a Xiaomi account to unlock the bootloader too! And they make you wait several days to do it.
And no, you can't break an Android device by rooting it. Worst case you'll have to reflash the system partition through recovery.
- dave_sullivan 6y agoWent through this recently. Had to download xiaomi unlock software to unlock the bootloader. Probably sent an image of my hard drive back to china in the process. And the 7 day wait period. Really is an example of price too good to be true because they collect your data and probably get huge government subsidies to do so. Nice phone though once you flash it.
- grishka 6y agoYeah I did do that too several years ago too, but I ran it on a VM because I didn't have a real Windows machine anyway.
