Xiaomi bootloader - instant unlock

[kage00]

Hi everyone,

I'm waiting for my phone to arrive, hopefully it'll be here in the next few days. I came across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrclBFu3JyE that claims to be able to unlock the bootloader without the wait times. Does anyone know if this is legit? I can't test it until I get my device.
It'd be super handy if it works as the 7 day wait sounds unnecessary and painful.

If anyone can try it let us know how it goes.

ps. on a side note, how annoying is it that 90+% of the youtube videos on this device have English titles but the videos themselves are in other languages..?

Just to follow up on this. I just received my phone yesterday and I tried this and it didn't work for me. It looks like I'm going to have to wait the 7 days...

Yeah, it didn't work for me either. Hey, can you play an HDR video on Youtube or Netflix and see if there is a yellow tint?

Don't believe those videos its 99% of the time a scam/virus etc.
Just get the phone, set it up, bind your mi account under Dev settings - bootloader unlock and then wait 7 days (pretty sure it was 14 for some of my devices). Necessary evil with Xiaomi (trying to slow down resellers who flash global firmware etc). While you wait, don't install too many apps etc coz unlocking wipes the device

Don't be tempted with hacks and stuff.

I recently had pixel 2 xl, at 10pm im having yellow tint on my screen no reading mode is activated, and it became more yellow at 12am(as i set up)


im trying to root to remove in system ui tuner the previous tweaks i had on pixel.

It does not work. I tried it too, and I had to wait for 7 days anyway.

Ya No doesn't work... I tried with new SIM and new MI account.

Yeah I did the same... unfortunately you just have to wait it out

I tried without factory resetting the phone and it didnt work for me, did you do the factory reset and new account stuff as said in video?

I tried to do this today and it also does not work.

I have to wait around 168 hours but does that mean my phone has to be switched on for that long or can I use it daily and switch it off?

Thanks

Just don't factory reset it, you can use it normally for 7 days

Does that modified miunlocktool really work?

Never really worked except for the first few days, after that xiaomi patched the code...

Cheers.

Mien should be unlocked by tomorrow hopefully.

I have another question once unlocked what's the next stage please?

I've read something about a recovery/backup to prevent your phone from getting bricked before installing roms?

If it helps I'm on miui global 12.0.8 android version 10.

I am in England also so have that version of the Poco x3 NFC thanks

While using can I connect to the internet cause I got a warning not to add my mi account to the device again else I'll have to wait longer and hole it won't affect other devices using the same mi account
