SEE EDIT 2

So Xiaomi has started implementing a new policy whereby you need to wait 1440 hours before unlocking your bootloader. That translates to a massive 2 months. This is just ridiculous.

Many people with Poco F1 have reported this issue. Some people tried a different version of Mi unlock tool and their time was halved to 720 hours(1 month) but even that is ridiculous. I don't recommend this because spamming mi servers may lead to further problems.

How has your experience been with the bootloader unlock process. How many hours is the waiting period? If someone discovers any un official method, do post that as well.

Edit -
If you want to help the community, please post these info on SUCCESSFUL bootloader unlock.
MIUI Version -
Mi Unlock version -
How old your Mi account is -
Wait period -


Edit 2
There was a lot of furore over this issue. A few tech websites published this issue, reddit roasted them over it and Twitter users also kept asking questions from Jai Mani and Manu Kumar Jain.

They listened. You should be able to unlock Poco F1 in 3 days now. But other Xiaomi phones may face upto 2 months waiting time and thats pathetic.

Apparently, the phones can only be unlocked using the codes provided by Xiaomi. I remember Sony doing something like this as well.

That's a load of BS! Xiaomi needs to knock this off!

This should be a warning to users. 360 hours seems like a blessing now. If you get 360 hours, be happy and wait it out. Don't keep trying and get it 'upgraded' to 720 hours or 1440 hours.

I think u follow the step that describe in youtube video
Then try to unlock
Dont update your phone at first.
If unlock not possible in your case go to lg v30 section and grab the unlock.bin file from bootloader unlock thread and follow the step for lg v30 .may be good luck for u

    device not certified after bootloader unlock, not rooted yet..
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Change device certification from "non-certified" to "certified".

    Anyone who has lost the refit in the Play Store after flashing a BETA-ROM can easily change it.
    Download and install the Preferences Manager Version 1.8.3 app on the Play Store. Issue the App Root and search for and open the term "Google Play Store." At the top there is a status bar, where you can swipe right to the term: "finsky.xml". Now scroll down to the term: "device.google-certified" and click on it. There, slide the slider to the right from "false" to "true" and confirm with "Update". That's it, now it is displayed in the Play Store at "Device Certification: Certified".

    3 years old MI account - 720hrs wait time. (672 hours remaining)
    I'm sure it's a server side issue. Happened with Whyred too in during initial rush.
