How to become a HyperOS Beta Tester: A complete Mi Pilot Program guide

If you want to be among the first to test and install HyperOS Mi Pilot releases, joining the HyperOS Beta Tester program is the way to go. Becoming a tester is a straightforward process. Once your application is approved, you gain early access to test and report on new HyperOS Beta builds before their public release.

While applications are closed when there is no active beta phase, the Beta program is expected to fully reopen with the upcoming HyperOS 3.1. Here is everything you need to know to get your device enrolled.

Step-by-Step Guide to Join the HyperOS Mi Pilot Program

If you are ready to become a part of Xiaomi’s Beta Testing community, follow this exact procedure:

1. Download the Latest Version of the Mi Community App

Before you start, ensure you have the newest version of the both China Mi Community and Global Mi Community app installed on your device. This application is mandatory for enrolling in the Beta Program.

2. Submit Your Beta Program Application

Once your app is up to date, follow these steps to apply:

• Open the Mi Community app.

• Change your region to Global: Tap on “ME” > “Set up” > “Change region”.

• Access the Beta Testing section: Go back to “ME” and tap on “Beta testing”.

• Apply for Recruiting: Tap on “Recruiting test” and then select “Apply”. The system will automatically verify if your specific Xiaomi device is eligible for the current Beta Program.

• Follow On-Screen Prompts: Complete the application form by following the instructions on your screen and successfully submit it.

Troubleshooting: Common Registration Problems

You might run into a few hurdles while applying. Here are the most common issues and how to solve them:

• Check Device Status: Verify if your smartphone has reached its EOL (End of Life) status. Devices that are on the EOL list are not eligible for the beta program.

• Wait for Device Availability: If your phone isn’t EOL but still gives this error, be patient. Xiaomi rolls out the program in phases, and more devices are continually being added to the list.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I pass the Recruiting Test?

To get your application accepted, you need to score at least 60 points by answering basic questions about the Beta/Pilot program. You can find the test by navigating to: Xiaomi Community > “ME” > “Beta testing” > “Recruiting Test” > “Respond”.

Do I need to reapply if I am already a Xiaomi ROM Beta Tester?

Yes. If you are a current or former MIUI/Xiaomi ROM Beta Tester, you must submit a fresh application for the new HyperOS Beta program. Your previous permissions will only remain active for a few days before expiring.

Which ROM versions are supported?

The Beta Program supports all Global ROMs, including MI, EEA, and others. (Note: If you are applying from India, you may need to use a specific regional application form).

How will I know if my application is approved?

You can check your status by going back to the “Recruiting” test page. If you are accepted, you will see a button labeled “Passed”.

What does “Approving” mean?

If your status says “Approving,” it means the Xiaomi team is currently reviewing your application. This decision process usually takes up to 7 working days.

Will I get the update immediately after passing?

No. Passing the recruiting test grants you the eligibility to be a Beta Tester, but it doesn’t trigger an instant download. You will simply receive the new HyperOS beta update over-the-air (OTA) ahead of regular users as soon as the developers push the update to the server. Be patient, and enjoy your early access once it arrives!
