Why waiting 360 hours to unlock bootloader on Mi8? - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hi!
I have a Mi8 ( global with locked bootloader) and was wondering why I don't see any mention to unlocking it via "fastboot oem unlock" like I used to do with A1 (Tissot).
Someone could explain the difference and the consequences of trying it?
Thanks!

Question about Unlock bootloader

I have a serval question about unlocking Mi A2 Bootloader
1. Do unlock bootloader void xiaomi's hardware warranty?
I have heard that xiaomi still have hardware warranty even you unlock bootloader is that true?
2. Do unlock bootloader have permanent message on screen while boot even I relock bootloader?
my previous device Moto M have message bootloader has been unlocked while boot, and this message won't disappear even I relock bootloader.
3. To unlock Mi A2, just fastboot oem unlock is it enough?
I have heard that xiaomi need to wait 15 days to get a special tool from xiaomi to unlock bootloader. but in XDA post look like fastboot oem unlock is enough. it so weird...
Thank you for your answer.

1. No, you will not void warranty
2. When you unlock bootloader you will have message on your screen, after you lock it again, there is no message, everything is like stock.
3. fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock_critical those two commands are enough
If you have xiaomi phone with miui, than you need to wait for unlock approval, around 72 hours, maybe less maybe more, it depends... When you have android one device, you do not need to wait, you can unlock your phone instantly.

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

actually , i don't have mi9 yet, may waiting oneplus 7 announce, to compare both of them.
and the problems is you need 360 hour or may be more to unlock a phone, its never happen to me, little bit nervous to buy a phone which i need use the MIUI OS for more than 1 week on a lineageos user like me.:laugh:

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 in the same boat but I don't even have the toggle option to oem unlock in the developer options. I saw that the "fastboot oem asus-official" command can unlock it if it's been relocked.
Hi, Do you have luck with unlock tencent edition?, I read that its possible that once was unlock the phone and relock and this is the most problem. Help.....
hi i did it unlocked try it ark who has strix tencent game's version https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-3-Strix-Edition/HelpDesk_Download/

Hy there,I can only tell you how to unlock bootloader you can try going to settings about phone buld number press it 7 times and you will be a developer then go to developer settings and open bootloader if it doesn't work try using fast boot method by writing this command fastboot oem unlock
Then it will unlock bootloader
