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

But you still have to wait 72hrs to be able to unlock. I also got unlock permission quick, around 10 minutes. Must be automated.

Just asking
Is there would be a manual method for unlocking bootloader ? Just like unlocking Redmi Note 3

You have to take permission from Xiaomi first. They'll send you a message if you are given permission. They sent me the message after 3 days. Varies for everyone.

Since you said like that meaning there's no way to unlock the phone manual at the moment..
Alright , need to wait then. This is sucks.
For some Im getting this message as a notification 您所在的ip申请次数超标 while applying after filling the form.
Plz help
thanks
Maybe the boot loader has already been unlocked by the seller

But in mobile developer options it says in Mi unlock status the device is locked? :/
I bought my mi mix brand new from eBay and the bootloader was already unlocked!

hmm weird. i bought mines also brand new from ebay. except it wasnt unlocked. you know, i had to request unlock, then wait 72 hours after request was granted, then BAM!
Yeah it is weird. The device was already set up with google play installed. I didn't have to do anything but figure out how to change the language to English. And after that I enabled developer options and that's were I seen it said unlocked. I don't know if that meant sim unlocked or not, so I went through with the whole bootloader unlock process and root. I'm thinking that it meant BL unlocked because this/our device is dual sim and international. Considering you had to go through a wait of 72hrs makes me think if mine wasn't already unlocked then I would have to do the same and request unlock? I paid like 560 for mine on eBay and it was brand new and sealed..

You can just use the old version of mi unlock to skip waiting 72 hours.
After you get approval that is. If you want it just Google or pm me if you couldn't find it.

hi everyone, i want bypass the miui unlock tool, anyone use this command to unlock your phone? thx
no, of course not..
mi unlock tool can't be bypassed (and you definitely won't get an answer on that here)

i found some one can unlock with new command on mi A2
"fastboot flashing unlock"
"fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
so, is this same as "oem unlock"?

Hmm to be honest I don't know for sure, but I believe that the Mi 9 and the Mi A2 are different (technically, I'm not sure exactly) as based off the below link it states how Mi Unlock doesn't work in the same way it does for ours
https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-xiaomi-mi-a2/
As mentioned someone stated that the Mi 9 just reboots when attempting fastboot unlocking. Though if you're waiting to unlock, there's no harm in trying to be 100% sure

Haha despite me having the Mi 9 I mayyyy get tempted by the OnePlus 7 (or the "pro" version as it's rumoured!).
Coming from the Pixel 2 XL running LineageOS, MIUI isn't so bad once rooted and debloated. Battery and performance is great so can't complain really!
I'm thinking about buying a Xiaomi Mi 8 today, but I'm really struggling to find out how to unlock the bootloader so I can flash TWRP etc.
Can somebody point me in the right direction please?
I'm relatively experienced and was running lineageos on my old One Plus One.
Thanks

1. Developer options -> enable oem unlocking and usb debugging -> mi unlock status then tap add account and device(you need mobile data for this)
2. Apply for unlocking here and follow the steps written there. Your mi account when logging in for unlocking should be the same mi account on your mi 8.
Note: when you try to unlock for the first time you will get an error. This is because you need to wait for 7(or is it 15?) days before you can proceed on unlocking your device. So, be sure to apply for unlocking as soon as you get your device.
P.S. welcome to the mi 8 community!

Yes, unfortunately it is 15 days
Make sure to go ahead and complete the steps. Because if you wait a month or 6 months, you still have to wait 15 days before they will allow the unlock. Highly annoying!
Make sure about the version you buy. The are China version and international version. There were sellers selling Chinese version with global ROM installed, this means the bootloader is already unlocked but you could have serious problems if you relocked it. So if you're not Chinese make sure to buy a global version with locked bootloader.
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.

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
