Doubt it

I will make it legit.
You can easily edit the strings for each error code and the one for the 72 to 360 hour wait is basically a giant “Fuck You” to those that aren’t using a Chinese IP address
Would a Chinese VPN help?
Yes, please unlock it again.
Lol. They added a timer in their app that let’s you wait for 72 to 360 hours before you can unlock ?
Try it again
I AM THE XIAOMITOOL
Maybe. I bought a Xiaomi device in China and applied for unlocking, it took about an hour.
Haha, yes.
Also, I am not able to bind my account in the dev options… and so I cant unlock it. I’ve been trying since February but nothing. So I unlocked unofficially..
When you say aren’t using a Chinese IP, if I use a Chinese VPN on both the phone when binding and the pc when using the tool would it maybe bypass the timer?
Just automated?
Mine came unlocked from Gearbest, for some reason.
why does that even exist
some models have a smaller wait time
Why not?
PM me on how that can be done
Can’t PM cause I’m mobile but my new xiaomi phone I’m trying to unlock doesn’t want to behave. The unlock tool says Phone not connected and when I plug in the phone in fastboot mode, the phone says Press any key to shutdown. So very lame.
That’s sketchy, i would rather reflesh a kernel.
I installed LineageOS, I agree it was sketchy.
Try actually getting through to their customer service over this. You get nowhere. They don’t usually have the courtesy to respond.
I’m kinda sitting back to see how long Xiaomi will get away with this for. In my opinion, their days of sketchy BL tactics are numbered… but I could be wrong.
