1080 hours (45 days) required for unlock! - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I am getting the message that 45 days are required to unlock my device.
Is there any way to get the unlock faster?
If someone would be willing to share their MI account for instant unlock, I would greatly appreciate it!

Nope there is no way. Just wait like us.

Try another version of mi unlock

Ups I didn't read that. Sry

So did creating a new Mi account and associating that with the device work (aka 'only' 360 hours) ? Otherwise I'd actually contact Xiaomi support if I were you; 45 days sounds kinda excessive ...

It didn't work. I tried a new account as well as a new SIM card.
Where do I contact xiaomi support?

I haven't tried contacting myself, but
1) Check out the 'support prequisites' at: https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/retrievePassport?type=pwd&_locale=en_US
2) Now try your most suitable (it's region-based) option on: https://www.mi.com/global/contact/
Searching through the Mi Forum and it's successor Mi Community, there is no specific solution mentioned, just 'wait it out'.
Which Mi 9 version do you have; the Chinese, Global or EEA (European) version ? Most topics about it seem to concern the Chinese version, that's why it might - or not - be relevant ...

I was able to get it unlocked with the help of an awesome XDA member!!!

Could you please send pm/write in thread who help you? I get the same problem. 42 days left ?

Jealous. Is there a work around or how was it done?

waiting period is for account, not for device. so what you need is an account already pass the waiting period.

The person who helped me just used their account to log into my phone and the MI unlock app to do the process. I am not sharing the name with anyone since I have not asked for the person's permission to do that.

how long did it take for you to get your unlock code?

i'm going on 3 days now with nothing and getting very impatient because i really can't use the phone without root as i use some apps extensively each day that require it.
so how long did it take for your unlock code to arrive?
also, is it possible to load other roms using the mi flash tool without root? i wasn't sure about that since i've only ever loaded other roms with twrp
almost instantly for me. Got the code via text literally 3 mins after I applied online. I'm located in the US btw. Not that would matter. Or would it?
Mine came unlocked but I got my unlock text 1.5 days later
3 days,
i did post in the official xiaomi forum asking for faster service. not sure if that helped

Did you post in the unlock request forum even though it tells you that you need to wait 6 days or more? I'm considering doing that cause I really want to start using this phone daily.

Yes in the complaint section. I was polite and asked it to be urgent.
Took 5 days for me
What was the reason you guys used? I filled out the form basically saying I want to root and have full control of my device. Was that good enough or nah? I heard they handing out rejections left and right.
Requested mine an hour ago. Nothing yet.
Requested mine yesterday. Still none.

I know this is something new to a lot of us,(yours truly included) giving a reason why we wish to unlock.
Good/bad,or indifferent,it's their way & as long as the request sounds as if you know what you're doing/willing to take responsibility for whatever happens post-unlock,my guess is that's all they want to hear,to combat potential "My phone won't work/stuck/bootloops" warranty claims.
I told them as much,accepting responsibility for my phone & that I wish to use an aftermarket/developer ROM.
Turns out,I didn't need to ask,mine was already unlocked,but,I got the OK in about 3-4 days.
finally got my unlock after posting in complaints as suggested and then giving them more information - after doing that i got it a few hours later.
already unlocked, rooted, xposed - man this phone is so so awesome once you get that done.
I got mine very quick I just wrote I like the mi mix as my reason of unlocking bootloader.

I needed the bootloader unlocked as I was working on developing an Android application for one of my projects in graduate school at the moment. this was my main reason to request a bootloader unlock. Your situation may vary.

Couldn't agree more. TWRP/Root/Xposed take the Mi Mix to the next level

This process, in itself, is frustrating. Inefficient. And puts into the question the service and organization methodology of Xiaomi.
48hours have come and gone, and earlier this morning was replied about there 10 day procedure. Yeah, ok. 10 days to wait. Hmmm

Discontinued two or so months ago, discussed in many threads on XDA (btw, XDA has a nice search facility) and what/how to use instead - DC Unlocker/HCU Client for 4 Euros credit

Don't bother your self, I've tried dc-unlocker a few days ago, and it ended not supporting my Huawei P20 Lite, and their support sucks, I've seen some posts on Reddit from people who contacted Huawei's support on twitter, and they positively responded with the code, try your chances.

Just follow their online howto links and if needed improvise (docs are maybe little outdated)
Is there any method to get unlock code on Linux? All of the mentioned applications not working on Linux (tried with Wine). Maybe there are some cloud solutions that generate unlock code online?

You can try the DC Unlocker through a Virtual Machine, you better try it on a Windows 7.
@update, their technical support ( the contact form on the huawei's website ) can get your bootloader unlocking code, the only issue is that it takes a few days, til you receive it.

In the good, old days it was just a matter of submitting info like model, device id, imei, e-mail address via an on-line form to Huawei - hence not depending on the PC and its OS
You can try the app (Playstore tells me not available in my country)

Is there any working method (free or paid) for unlocking the bootloader of P20 Pro?

Hi everyone!
I am wondering if there is still a way for unlocking the bootloader of P20 Pro.
Basically, as you might already know, Huawei has removed the "bootloader unlock" page from its website. The paid service (DU-Unlocker) also does not have the device listed in its supported models.
Is there any working method now in 2019 whether it is free or paid or as a service that can unlock the bootloader of this device?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
I used this guy on eBay:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/fonzdirect
It took him a few days to do it, but it worked great!
Cheers

Hello, pardon me for inquiring further if you truly meant bootloader unlock code for p20 pro from "fonzdirect" on ebay, the seller you mentioned, as he does not provide bootloader unlock codes. His service only unlocks the SIM card to be used on other mobile phone carriers outside of U.K. "02 network", Vodafone, and perhaps others. I did not find his store to provide the service in which this thread is referencing. For the sake of accuracy, might you be conflating the two?
I have paid MinistryofSolutions the 30Euros on Christmas Day for the p20 pro bootloader unlock; however, that was the week his unlock services went down. I was refunded my money that same afternoon and have noticed the website reflect his no longer being able to provide the codes. I cannot justify paying a cent more for FunkyHawaii for what I will use it for. I simply want VoLTE and VoWiFI to be enabled on AT&T through property flags. Cheers.

Anyone tried HalabTech?
I've never dealt with them before and I don't want to risk paying to mess up my phone.
I'm not allowed to post links but googling "halabtech p20 pro bootloader" should get you there if you feel rich and brave.

Xiaomi MI 8 Bricked , bootloader locked

Hello guys, i'm new in the xiaomi world and i'm not very happy
Xiaomi MI8 6GB 128 GB CN
I bought this phone 2nd hand from a guy and everything were good, until i get a OTA update, i started to install the update but my battery was low and i run of juice
My update failed and goes in a bootloop
My phone has bootloader unlocked so i decided to download the MIUI official rom from here and i started flashing it with MIFLASH but i forgot to uncheck the "ERASE AND LOCK"
now i have a Bricked phone, locked because im stupid, and stupid 2 times because i flashed the GLOBAL rom instead of CHINA
What can i do now? throw it in the trash?
i have tried adb reboot edl and fastboot reboot-edl but doesn't work
pay someone with edl account to flash it remotely
examples: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/edl-authorized-account-save-life-t3856125

Here is the other way.
neuTrue said:
Before paying anyone. Give this a try.
Search for a file called: "Miflash no auth", or "Miflash without auth", and even with these words: "patched", "mod", "cracked", etc...
Currently, if you searched for the first sentence in Youtube, you could easily find the file I mentioned (MiFlash 2018.5.28.0).
Personally, I haven't tried this solution but wouldn't hurt.
Good luck

You could download the Chinese ROM, carry it with you to any Xiaomi service center (with EDL) and then ask them to flash it for you.
Otherwise, you might want to make sorta of deal and bartering (Google Play gift card, Amazon gift card, etc...). Also, I think you only need CC to send with Paypal.
Don't forget to send Xiaomi customer support an email to tell them how you are unhappy with them and their unfriendly policies.
Good luck

I solved by paying a russian guy
He did the edl flash before i paid, he was very fast and friendly
But i opened up my phone and this thing not was very easy
Here in Italy i never see a xiaomi service center so i dont know...
And i already sent a mail to xiaomi service telling everything about my unhappy story with my 2nd xiaomi
1st was a disaster
2nd too...
Sorry for my bad English
And have a good day
@Kajikita:
It is nice to hear it worked out for you.
About service centers (https://www.mi.com/it/service/repair/) -> Click on "Canali di vendita/distribuzione" and it will give you a list. Personally not sure if they will be helpful. Eitherway, it is nice that you have fixed your phone now.
Have a great day as well. :highfive:

I hope you can unlock your device after 15 days. I waited 15 days and tried but my wait time was increased to 45 days, Xiaomi support didn't care so I have to wait again, I really hope that after 45 days it won't show another 45 days :laugh:
you cant bypass unlocking process even with old account...

This really sucks man!!! I hope mine will end after 15days! Waiting impatiently till next weekend. I think the lock is per device and not really depend on the account. So even if you have unlocked a xiaomi device using the account, new device will have fresh 15days. Correct me if Im wrong.

Yes, first device you will have to wait 15 days, second device within 30 days, you will have to wait 45 days.
just dont logout your mi account after binding and you will have no problem after 15 days
