Bypassing 360h wait to unlock bootloader

[Vink67]

True but I can understand why they use a countdown as "security" now at least we still have the option to unlock it after the 15 days, not like Huawei / Honor where they block it completely which is really stupid... Motorola also requires an online code that you get via E-mail on all their devices to unlock them now, while its more or less instant it's another step where we have no control anymore.


The Mi flash tool should tell you how many hours are remaining until you can unlock it or do you get a different error code?

True, for me that's no sense because Xiaomi release source code kernel for they device so why block bootloader like so... Non sense at all.

Nope, you can only wait with one mi accound bound to one device, if you bound your device to another account then the first one is cancelled and the countdown start in the second one. If you bound your device to the first account then the counter will be again 360h and the counter of the second account will be reset.

But once an account has been authorised to open bootloader, it can be used once every 30 days, so it is better to create a new account (15 days).

Maybe someone could remove the "(Solved)" tag in the Thread subject now it´s "unresolved" again... ?

There are at least 2 guys from our local forum who tested this. I have unlocked before using 2 account method (which doesn't work now anymore), so I can't test this anymore. Try with your own risk.

1. Login to i.mi.com with the same account with the device.
2. There will a popup banner to upgrade and sign-in, click it
3. Login again
4. Go to Find My device and make sure the device can be found
5. Open Mi Unlock 2.3.803.10 (i don't know which one, try to find it), login, put the device into fastboot, and try to unlock without binding the account. Don't close the mi unlock.
6. unlock failed, restart phone and bind the account at the phone.
7. reboot to fastboot again after binding and try to unlock again
8. It will stuck at 99%, loading without any error message. Somehow the user close the mi unlock after 5 minutes
9. Open the mi unlock again, login and try to unlock and suddenly it success. Phone restart, data wiped and unlocked already.

I don't test this, so if there is something doesn't work, please try to adapt, improvise and overcome it. Make report if it works for you and which step that you follow (or improvise), so other can benefit from it.

Has anyone given this a shot yet? I receive my Mi Mix 2S today and would like to unlock to install the Beta Miui 10.

All the patches as of now are fixed by Xiaomi. So kindly do not use the dual account trick, cuz the moment you logout and login via a different account your previous account timer gets reset. You need to wait for 15 days.


Also a kind request to the OP to remove the word solved or anything similar. While your trick worked earlier it does not anymore sadly. And there are people will be trying this without reading the last posts. So you might unintentionally dupe them(again unintentionally I said cuz this trick did work previously). So kindly remove the word solved or added previously solved and similar words

Eitherway, If you bind your 2nd Account you will still get 360h notice. Sadly, Xiaomi somehow fixed this bypass so there's no other way but to wait for 15days. As for me, i'm on my 3rd day today so 13days left to unlock my RN5Pro.

Yeah, too bad we got our device too late, if only i got it way back May. This shouldn't be my problem.

 

[noahthedominator]

In the same boat. Got 10 days to wait until I can unlock my Mi MIx 2s. Getting sick of Xiaomi doing this crap.

 

[Flynhx]

To all members with a newly bought xiaomi device who is currently waiting to unlock its bootloader..
I just wanna say your in luck cause you get a taste of the oversome sweetness of vanilla MIUI for more than 2 weeks.

We are, the 360-hr Squad!
