Hello
For a few month I had a mi Mix with Unlocked Bootloader. Now I want to buy a new one can I unlock the bootloader with the same Tool Le must i make a new Bootloader unlock request ?
Just ask again, It took me 2 minutes to get a permission
Sent from my Xiaomi MIX using XDA Labs
i was able to unlock the bootloader on my new 6/256 mix with the same login i used for my old 4/128 mix

But you still have to wait 72hrs to be able to unlock. I also got unlock permission quick, around 10 minutes. Must be automated.
Hello everybody.
I know what are the steps to unlock my Mi 8 bootloader. I just want to ask you after the procedure will it erease all my apps, settings and photos?
Thanks!
I'd imagine so, it should factory reset your phone. The MI Unlock tool should tell you as much when you press Unlock
Thank you!
I am looking at this and when hitting unlock in the unlock app received a message saying I have to wait 360 hours. Just an FYI.

I know. For unlocking the bootloader Xiaomi needs 15 days to give u access for unlocking.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader immediately WITHOUT waiting for a week? It says I can unlock after 168 hours. That's very annoying.

Unfortunately I do not think there is a way to speed this up

Does it relate to the registration date of xiaomi account? Or every xiaomi account linked to a new phone must require several days of waiting before unlocking the bootloader?

I think it's more to do with the amount of unlocks carried out, your 1st unlock is 7 days, but then if you lock bootloader and want to unlock again then it will be more than 7 days
Hey guys, this is my first xiaomi device and i would like to know, after unlocking the bootloader, do i still get OTA updates from xiaomi like normal, and if i do, can i update like normal without any complications. I am on Mi 11 Global, due for unlock in 48 hours
Of course!

That's a relief.
If i may, a related question:
When unlocking the bootloader with the unlock tool, will the phone be factory reset? Apps and settings gone?
I ask because I don't want to waste a whole week setting my new phone up just for it to be erased when the unlock is finally available next Wednesday.

Yes, everything gets wiped. However, you need to be using the phone in order to unlock it after the 7 day period. If not you'll get an error saying you need to use the phone more, and then you'll have to wait longer.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. That's annoying but I guess I can use the phone for certain basic things while I wait.

I have the same situation, did you get the updates automatically?
I just got the OP 10 Pro for my girl and I and I'm having some difficulty attempting to unlock the bootloader. Looks like it'll require an unlock token (bin) from OP like the previous models however on my OP 9 I didn't request an unlock token, I think maybe I flashed the global fw with MSM? I know this is a fairly new device and development is limited, but is there anything available at this time to magisk root my device? I still have my old rooted device for 2 weeks grace period before I have to return it for the trade-in.

OEM unlock is not greyed out and is enabled.

fastboot flashing unlock

"FAILED (remote: 'Please flash unlock token first.')"
That's why I'm asking for additional help. OP hasn't updated their unlock site yet to request a token

With the T-Mobile variant you need the unlock.bin to unlock bootloader. OnePlus will eventually update their website, hopefully soon (I've already emailed their support to add it, doubt that will help though). The only other way would be using exploits which haven't been released yet. The good news is once OnePlus updates their site, you can easily request you're unlock.bin and once you get it via email it's super easy to unlock the bootloader.
Sounds like it's like their previous phones subsidized through TMO. Need to pop in a fastboot command on your phone, which will give you a string of code. Copy paste that code on Oneplus' web site once it's updated. From there, you'll need to wait 7 days almost to the minute before the page will display your unlock token, which will be in a .bin format. Fastboot flash that. Of course that'll wipe your phone completely, but your bootloader will be unlocked.

Yes, exactly same as previous T-Mobile OnePlus phones, except there's no need to be sim unlocked to enable oem unlocking on the 10 pro (pretty sure that was by mistake on OnePlus fault).

Wow. Really? So we don't have to make up an extravagant overseas-travel story to get T-mo to unlock? Niiiice.
Have said before, just avoid the US T-Mobile variant, unlocking is just the first of many issues if you're going down the unlocking/rooting path.
If it's your only way of getting the 10 pro then fair enough, but if it's not then choose the other path...whatever it is it has to be better.

Through T-Mobile was my only option but I can't say I had many issues with my OnePlus 9 TMO variant once it was unlocked and rooted.

Fair enough.
I personally live in the UK, so don't have any of these problems, but I've seen issues with people who've flashed a custom ROM and ended up without signal, data, texts, even WiFi, Devs tend not to get involved when asked what the problem may be. They end up frustrated and alone.
Couple that with waiting for 10 days to unlock it, I would stick with "if you have an alternative then go with that".
Whatever way you slice it it's a sub par experience compared to other options.
But hey if you're cool with it then that's your journey
Got my 10 pro unlocked on day one. One plus's site still doesn't support the 10 pro. So no unlock tokens for us yet.

Same, unlocked mine immediately.
The more people buy the T-Mobile version the more they'll keep doing it.
It's a shame that companies still do crap like this.

Wait, you got your T-mo unlocked immediately? How'd that work?

I got mine unlocked immediately too, twice. First device had to be exchanged due to being defective. I explained I needed the unlock for development reasons which requires the bootloader to be unlocked and I've been with them for 3 years so they didn't hesitate to issue the unlock.

I don't have a T-Mobile..I'm in the UK...I've bought a locked down device before. Never again, not when there's an alternative
For what it's worth, I just chatted with OnePlus and was told it would take 30-45 days for the unlock token page to be updated with the 10 Pro.
I strongly suspect this was little more than a guess, but I figured I'd relay it just in case.

I was told 7 days 12 days ago.
LoL, it depends on what T-Mobile tech admin you talk too....
T-mobile just msgd me on Twitter and said they 'unlocked' my phone. Do I still need the payload.bin file to unlock bootloader?

Yes that's only a network unlock which is a requirement to be eligible for OnePlus bootloader unlock
