Rumors about perm bootloader lock in HyperOS3

[PavelCzechRep]

There were some rumors that for phones coming with HyperOS3 on the market or after updating to official HyperOS3, then attempts trying to unlock bootloader will fail.
Rumors that Xiaomi will completely prevent us from unlocking bootloader in HyperOS3 even though your MI Account is eligible.


Now when HyperOS3 is rolling out widely, can please somebody confirm or not this?

This is important to know even for the future of Xiaomi.eu ROM. If that is true then buying new phones such as upcoming 17 series or new POCO phones wont make any sense.


Thanks

According to the number of ROMs downloaded from xiaomi.eu for the 17 series, bootloader unlocking is still possible in China. We will see in time how it will be for the global version. In any case, the ban on bootloader unlocking will be required by EU regulations in the future.

I thought that was once again misinterpreting of the law.

Maybe, we'll see.

So it means that for instance if I will buy now Poco F7 Ultra with HyperOS3 already on it and then if I will try to unlock bootloader using MI Account with needed permissions for it then it will most likely work (unlock)?

I can neither confirm nor deny this. I haven't tried it and I don't have the necessary information.
Anyway, I think this device should come with HyperOS 2 out of the box.
