360 hours ? WTF ?

[luminouche]

Is there a way to bypass the waiting time ?
Last time i unlock bootloader, it was on Mi Max 2, 72 hours to wait.
Xiaomi is ridiculous.

Redmi Note 5 Global, SD636.

Wrong forum. This is SD625, Redmi 5 Plus.

It depends in the country/area you live, i've unlocked my phone before in less than a day(permission req at night & next morning i got my permission), i'm using the stock cable that came with my Redmi 5 Plus. No 99% stuck, 1 try and poop! 100% success.

I have redmi 5 Plus Global Stable.. I live in india.. Purchased this set last week.. when i tried to unlock it.. it unlocked with in few Seconds..
i dont what happened? how it happened?..
Coz in my previous encounters with mi note 3 and note 4 i waited for one week...
but this time i didint even applied for bootloader unlock.. neither did bind my account..
was curious so entered fastboot mode and used latest miunlock tool.. after the initial login process it unlocked with in seconds..
Its really strange.. but glad it allowed to unlock bootloader without any waiting whatsoever...

ha ha ha.... this is my first xiaomi, and they make me waste my 360 hours to wait just to unlock bootloader..... no more! never buy xiaomi again. I am may be one voice, butfor those who did not buy xiaomi product; think again.... now they implement anti roll back too.... can not downgrade rom. May be tomorrow they will implement DO NOT TOUCH xiaomi, as it may brick the unit :: LOL::
