REDMI 13C/Poco C65 is a smartphone model from Xiaomi that was released in January 2024. Mediatek MT6769Z Helio G85 (12nm) CPU Octa-core (2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55).

If you are an Android enthusiast who wants to customize your smartphone with custom ROMs, root access, or other modifications, you will need to unlock the bootloader of your device first. The bootloader is a program that runs before the operating system and kernel, and it controls the boot process and the recovery mode. By default, the bootloader of most Android devices is locked by the manufacturer, to prevent unauthorized changes to the software and to ensure the security and stability of the device.

However, Xiaomi allows its users to unlock the bootloader of their devices, as long as they follow some steps and use the official Mi Unlock Tool. Unlocking the bootloader will give you more freedom and control over your device, but it will also void the warranty, erase the data, and potentially expose your device to risks. Therefore, you should only proceed if you are aware of the consequences and have a clear purpose for unlocking the bootloader.

In this article, we will guide you through the process of unlocking the bootloader of Xiaomi REDMI 13C/Poco C65.

Step 2: Bind Your Device to Your Mi Account

Note: After binding your device to your Mi account, you may have to wait for a certain period of time (usually 7 days) before you can unlock the bootloader. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized unlocking of stolen devices. You can check the remaining time by tapping on Mi Unlock status again.

Step 3: Boot Your Device into Fastboot Mode

The third step is to boot your device into fastboot mode, which is a special mode that allows you to flash firmware and perform other operations using the fastboot command. To do this, follow these steps:
