No OTA Update Support

[sxlissxn]

Hello, last year I purchased a Xiaomi 13 from Aliexpress and was told
that it did not support OTA update. I didn't pay mind to it though. But
right now, I want to switch to HyperoS 2 (Maybe further updates too)But I asked the seller and he told me that after updating to the global version, this phone does not support updating the system... Is there anything i can do or will this phone stay on Hyperos 1 forever?

You need to check if your phone have an unlocked bootloader, and which ROM you are currently using.

The bootloader is not unlocked and i am currently using the version 1.0.4.0 of HyperOs

My understanding is that you would need to go back to a stock Chinese ROM, and then either use it or unlock the bootloader to install a ROM.

But I don't know the process, and unlocking a Chinese HyperOS device seems very complicated nowadays.
