No Running iOS 16 on a Xiaomi topaz (SM6225) requires kernel patching, boot-chain work, and device-specific drivers. This needs deep OS and hardware reverse-engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: A real version requires porting or patching the XNU kernel for the SM6225 SoC, adapting the boot chain and device trees, and writing or reverse-engineering drivers for display, storage, and radios. It demands low-level kernel and ARM expertise, the physical device, and extensive debugging with serial access.
