Hey guys, i have been looking for a guide how to root our device and unlock the bootloader. I have found only guides for mi5 but are they diffrent than our phone? Or is it safe to say that they are the same and i can root the way they do it? And to unlock bootloader, i just wrote to xiaomi, or is there a easier way?

Thanks for help guys

Hi to unlock the bootloader you have to sign up on xiaomi website and sent them the request for approval there is no other way to do it. Once this is done (it takes a few days to get a reply) you can finally unlock the bootloader using xiaomi unlock app, flash twrp and then root the phone using SuperSU. I hope this helps.

But I didn't see twrp support for 5s, only for the 5. Same for supersu. Did you root your phone?

For SuperSU you don't even need to disturb Google, just type supersu in the search box on the banener of this page.
Get the stable v2.79 flashable from TWRP zip.
