Pay to unlock bootloader? - Xiaomi Mi MIX Questions & Answers

Is there any site to pay for an unlock code? I really don't feel like waiting days to be able to flash the EU ROM.

you can apply code before you receive the device. so no waiting time, the moment you have your device, your code is ready. But if you are asking it now and you have the device already, then it's too late xD

Is the bootloader code u get from Huawei unique?

Hi, recently i went from fRomFuture rom to C900B136 PaulOBrien posted, my bootloader was unlocked but doing this relocked the bootloader and removed TWRP.
My question is: The code that u get from Huawei to unlock ur bootloader is unique? Or i have to get a new one to unlock my bootloader again?
If you read the notes of Huawei they said unlock code is unique for the device you request. You can use the same code in the same device the times you wants to.
Anyway if you complete the form the code it is always the same:

Trojan found in the vendor rom

Hi All, I have received my mi mix today and it got pre-installed with vendor ROM MiUi 8.0.8.0.
I installed malware bytes and ran a scan and there is a trojan I found in the notes app and I am not able to delete that app.
I haven't got unlock code from Xiaomi :crying: . Till I get that I believe I will not be able to go to stable China ROM or EU ROM. Please correct me if I am wrong.
As I don't want to use the device with malware on it, does it mean I am stuck till I get the unlock key from xiaomi.

This is not something new and has been reported by other users including myself. Even though Malwarebytes detects it as a Trojan, no one has reported any harm from that app and it is not confirmed that it is a Trojan.
Anyway, even I wanted to be on the safer side and didn't use the device until I had flashed a safe ROM. Luckily I had applied for the unlock code before I placed my order, so I had the code by the time I received the device.
It is technically possible to bypass bootloader and flash the official firmware. To bypass a locked bootloader, you need the deep flash cable or flash via EDL mode. Both these methods, especially flashing via EDL is only advised as a last resort. Using EDL is not usually recommended as there is a risk of permanently bricking the device. I wouldn't recommend these methods especially if you are new to flashing.
As of now, you can first check whether your bootloader is already unlocked by following instructions in one of the guides. If you're lucky and bootloader is already unlocked, you can flash one of the official ROMS.
If not, I would suggest that you wait till you receive your unlock code.

Thanks a lot . As I am totally new, I also didn't want to go the EDL route and I don't have the required cable either.
I will wait till I get the unlock code. In how many days did you get your unlock code.

I got the sms around 3days after I applied for the code. You can expect to receive yours in 3-5days from the date you applied.

Don't try EDL it's disabled on mix. There is a simple guide on going from vendor rom to which ever you want, no updates coming your way with vendor rom.

Sure, thanks a lot. I am not going to try EDL at all. Want to first learn how to flash with TWRP first .
Waiting now for the unlock code Every time I get a message, I hope its from xiaomi sending the unlock code.

I had a check right after I opened the phone from the box. But its locked .
showing "unlock : false".
I was really hoping that vendor unlocked the bootloader for installing the vendor ROM but they didn't. I guess they used some other method.

Just got my unlock code. A pity, though, the bootloader unlock application will only be available to products launched prior to the announcement date [24 May 2018], then 60 days after the service will be stopped. Read from here for more info.
This will probably be my last Huawei phone.
Although, the option to use i.e. dc-unlocker will still be there. Still, it sucks.

Recently Huawei have stopped providing bootloader unlock codes.But we can get them by using DC Unlocking tool but it costs very high.Is there any way to find our bootloader unlocking codes using ADB comands in Cmd? I am using Honor Play.
According to this person he should be receiving bootloader unlock.codes in December I have pm him many times and have been waiting for one however no luck
As the bootloader can be unlocked at service centre's in India and some have unlocked it earlier, what is taking so long for custom roms?
Thanks to devs in advance Maybe u want to surprise us on New year, right.

If you want you can try OpenKirin roms. They work good on our device, just search OpenKirin on google. Unfortunately the dev(s) who are willing to contribute to the development of this device couldn't get the unlock codes last time they were rolled out, so unless you want to buy them an unlock code or two, please be patient.
Honor india providing unlock codes through service centers. Its possible through some ownership documents of the device. Not available through online.
I heard someone from xda community is able to unlock bootloader of honor phones.
More info here - https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-honor-bootloader-unlock-potatonv/amp/
Is there still any way to unlock the bootloader for free by not going service center.

Realme In-Depth test

Hello Everyone,
I have been using Oneplus phones from a long time and I found it pretty straight forward to just do "fastboot oem unlock" and you are good to go.
Now from what I understand, in case of realme, you have to sideload an realme provided apk and request for In-Depth test which if approved, you'll be allowed unlock your bootloader. I think they (realme) are pushing our serial number and carrier info to their servers to see if you should be allowed to unlock bootloader.
I do not plan to unlock my bootloader right now but I am concerned if realme's servers went down in future or if they stopped providing support for our device in coming year, how would I unlock my device ?
Can I initiate In-Depth test now and actually unlock bootloader later ?
i did it, you never know it might vanish and if you procrastinate, and option vanishes you will kick yourself research for yourself but this thread claims you can re-lock so read it CAREFULLY https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-to-getting-t4010189
fears kill dreams!
who knows what happend to realme or oppo in future or their servers!
X2PRO is 4g device, maximum we may use for next 24-36 months before going to 5g or different device!
i immediately unlock the bootloader, (got approval in 5 mins)
yes you can relock but i don't plan to, (but thats me)
moreover same goes xiaomi, sony also! (the server thing) they monitor what devices are getting unlocked!
Thanks for your replies guys. I understand that I should unlock while I can.
Point is I don't want to do it right now because I am somewhat satisfied with what RUI has to offer. Plus I don't want that safety net headache right now.
I want the option to unlock later lets say when Realme X2 Pro's update support ends and I want to flash Android 12 (when it comes)
My question is, if I get approval and not unlock it, will this approval be retained even after updates and system wipes ? So that I can unlock it later without approval

You can just unlock the bootloader and keep everything stock unrooted. That's what I first did back when I got the phone. There's no harm, other than losing widevine L1, I think.
Got it, thanks.
My original question remains unanswered though.
I'm decompiling realme's in-depth apk to understand what it does when you are approved for bootloader unlock. Will update here if I find anything interesting
if you want to go to android 12 later just follow that thread i showed and relock it and go stock and update
