So for months now I am owning an POCO F7 Ultra24122RKC7G usually the first thing i do is rooting the shit out of it, but since the last time i rooted a phone is a very long time ago (my previous was the poco f3 which died because of a spicy Pillow in the end) I just learned after I got this one that Xiaomi changed the process to a fuckin raffle of some sort… (See this dam screenshot)
So I forgot about it till today, where google just suddenly started its gemini shit and reminded me “you still got bloatware here!”
So my question is: is there any way To unlock it without this fucked up waiting times which never seems to work even if I got only Exactly at that given time Xiaomi tells us?
did you get july 2026 security updates? there’s a very recent linux kernel exploit that’s (almost?) universally compatible and can root the device.
i believe it’s CVE-2026-43499, example for samsung phones here https://github.com/BuSung-dev/Root-My-Galaxy
also here https://xdaforums.com/t/the-holy-grail-universal-no-bl-root-for-qualcomm-devices-bypass-locked-bootloaders.4782827/ (OP seems to be sorta llm slop but there’s genuine info from other people’s posts)
Uhhh I gonna read that at home!
Thanks for the info thats totally new for me!
