[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
I am sorry but we are getting further from the original question. "Why we have to wait 7 days or whatever, before we are allowed to unlock and/or root our phones.

You are missing the POINT, that you, the regular user, CAN UNLOCK your phone and change it's factory given software by USING A TOOL MADE BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER OF THE PHONE. MIUI unlock and MiFlash are tools released by Xiaomi oficialy, to allow users, you and me, to mess with the software also put by them, on the device. These tools are not a service only software that leaked on the internet. Xiaomi gives you the option to download these tools and easily replace their software. They discourage such action, but they do not stop you from doing so. Therefore the 7 days of waiting, meanwhile maybe you change your mind.

After you replaced their software with the preferred custom Rom, the AntiRolback future kicks in.That is what blocks you to return to official MIUI software once again. You can return to OFFICIAL STOCK MIUI but it takes more steps and it is a little more time consuming, as is with unlocking. Both processes are meant to be annoying, but in no way they are blocking you out of it, and leaving you without recourse.

If they were completely against you messing with the software then your phone will brick or permanently lose features as a punishment for Unlocking or from even trying to do so. Like in the case of the new Samsung smartphones that disable completely all the cameras if you unlock your bootloader. Some features don't come back even if you restore your phone to the original software. Yes the camera functionality returns but the Samsung security apps no longer work EVER. Or like on iPhone 12 if you don't use original parts to repair it, you lose partial functions or stops working entirely.

A mass seller of xiaomi phones will have access to EDL software or can also have a Chinese based warehouse where they initiate the unlock and by the time the phone reaches Europe or US, they can easily install the software in another warehouse before shipping them to stores/buyers.

Seven days of creating voice profiles (and more).

Other ideas are welcome.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zimmster:
I'm sorry, what part of "You can unlock ANY TIME but only after those 7 day have passed" was not easy to understand. Any time, here, means between 7 days and 1 minute and Xiaomi's bankruptcy i suppose. Thee is no time window, only a minimum waiting time
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] galih_ken:
I bought this phone, with my hard-earned money, from my own pocket. Xiaomi didn't give me this free or as a gift. I don't steal anything from them. I don't owe them money. And yet this **** wasting people's time as if I rented this **** ****ing phone. Sorry my language.

I just received my phone and received the 168 hour countdown (I was expecting 1month lol)

Anyhow, can I leave the phone powered off for the 7days?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Darkaeluz:
Yep, no problem doing that, the count down is tied to your account, doesn't matter if the phone is on or off
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] htc_softbank:

hey dude，as a chinese ，i am also say that（even worse） to this bugmi **** phone

the PM of throuhgt out this unlock idea may have water inside his mind

just leave alone this **** and wait

i have a question , during the 168 hrs time , can i use my phone or not , i am thinking to do it?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Zinnz:
Yes you can use your phone during the 168 hours, the 168 hours is just for unlocking the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] avedant2005:
oh thnx for telling me
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] la0pe0Ue:
Xiaomi is OK (although not good) in this aspect, I think. Huawei (including Honor), as well as many other, does not allow you to unlock the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] 3zozHashim:
i heard somewhere that xiaomi doesnt void warranty on unlocked devices but only if they were unlocked the official way (mi unlock tool + 7 days)

By unlocking the bootloader you do not lose warranty as far as I understand but you know their policies change and well it is only to try as soon as you do what you are going to do you can lock it again
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] redy2006:
As long as you didn't log out from your Mi Account, it's fine.

Can I turn them off during 168hour?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] xolito727:

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Endercrаft:
Hey,

Is there any way I can check this delay with the new miflash unlock version ? Right now it just lets me sign in and connect my device (which also doesn't do anything even in fastboot).

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Endercrаft:
Does that mean no or nobody saw this.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vagelis1608:
You can rerun the tool to see how long is left.

Just don't reconnect the account in settings, or it will reset.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Endercrаft:
So that means if I try to unlock right now, it will say something like "failed to unlock, you need to wait 79h".

I'll try it in a moment, I just need to solve the issue that my phone (Redmi Note 4) isn't recognized in fastboot.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vagelis1608:
Basically, yeah.

As for the fastboot issue, could be a driver issue. Install fastboot and run 'fastboot devices' to see if that picks up your device.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Endercrаft:
Oh apparently it unlocked before the 7 day delay ! I won't ask why but that's great, now I can root it. Also didn't need to insert SIM card again when unlocking... Maybe I unlocked by accident long ago when I didn't know what that was.

Thanks for the help ! I asked on another forum but got no reply.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vagelis1608:
You only need a sim to connect the account in settings, not for the actual unlock.

And if you actually unlocked early and figure out how, let us know how XD

Trying to do this on my Redmi Note 10 pro, but the waiting time is a *****. Did anyone find a way to bypass this yet?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Sabel.:
It tells you the time left till unlock when it doesn't succeed the first time
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
Redmi note 4 is quite an old phone. Back then the wait time restriction was not yet implemented. So you could unlock right away.

In case of all of the newer ones, there is no way to bypass this. Only option is to wait.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
There is none. You will just need to wait.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Vagelis1608:
It depends on the device?

I thought it was more of a server side counter.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
It is. But (thankfully) it does not affect the phones released before this restriction was brought about.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Sabel.:

Just be aware that official mi unlock tool has something "special" for those who wants to leave miui :)

official link to mi unlock tool. version 7.6.727.43 has RAT = scan report from virustotal page

You need use the same PC during the 168 hours to unlock BL. Then should to destruct operating system of that PC after unlocking..
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Sabel.:
This is just a false positive
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] alirezaimi:
Is this happened every time i want to unlock ?

because after my work done with unlocked boot loader i lock it again because of security issues.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] xolito727:
If you have security issues you bought the wrong phone...

But no after one time it unlocks instantly(at least for me).

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] MysticGuyAJ:
Hey everyone,

I just got a come back in 47h first time Unlock failed message.

I have done 12 hours in. Wherein I have left my 2nd laptop on the MI Unlock app screen (it has gone into hybernate mode). And I left my Redmi Note 13 4g in FASTBOOT mode (which has since gone black(assuming shutdown))

My younger brother comes to me and tells me that he wants some screenshot images he had taken on gaming related pages from toktik (some redeem codes or something)

My question is, can I switch on my phone but not password/pattern unlock, connect my main laptop and transfer the images directly to my laptop without going to settings of MiUI thing?

I just need to transfer the screenshots folder in Pictures/DCIM folder.

If I do the above will it cause issues with the remaining 35h waiting time?

Please please advice. I know the warning in the beginning stated all data will be wiped out, but I didn't think to check images, as I bought the phone solely to root it before using it for anything else.

Didn't know that my little bro cud use toktik without even logging into it. Yes he may deserve to lose the images but is there a small chance I can do the transfer of images without it affect the wait time on the other laptop?

Thank you so much in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] aolex:
AFAIK you don't need to wait the 168h with the phone connected, you just need to wait and then try the unlock again. So I'll say yes, you can do what you want with the phone during those 168h.

[Introductions] SigmaPhi001:
Hello everyone, My name is Boris. I've been on the forum from time to time to look up advice with unlocking bootloaders, installing custom recoveries, rooting/unrooting, and installing custom ROM's.

I have a Oneplus 6T that has an unlocked bootloader running Oxygen OS 10.3.12. I figured I join up and see what I can contribute since I've used this forum so much to get great info, advice, and files from other users. I really appreciate what the developers and enthusiasts do here because this resource has helped me many times with not only my current device but previous devices that I've owned in the past.

My main reason for being here recently is because I haven't been able to successfully disable dm-verity/AVB or force encryption for the purpose of installing kali nethunter. Im trying to get that resolved and if and when I do Ill post all the info so that others with the OP6T can do the same.

IT stuff Im familiar with and have amateur experience in is Windows, Kali Linux, Monjaro Linux, Debian, Ubuntu, Networking (Including Cisco training on ITPro TV), a bit of Active Directory experience, I'm a python beginner (Took a python scripting class at my college last semester), a bit of bash/zsh scripting, computer hardware, as well as a few other things.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Greenwaldist:
When a call is ended there is a loud and ugly beep. If I turn the ringer to silent the beep goes away but as soon as I have any ring signal on it's there.

The phone is a Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and is freshly reflashed with MIUI 12.5.1 global (EEA) stock using the MI Flash tool over fastboot. The phone is unlocked and rooted with Magisk. The region is set to India with English as the language. Skype or Snapchat have never been installed on the phone.

I did go to Settings-Apps-Permissions and disabled phone permission for as many apps as I could (Didn't dare to mess with the system apps). The beep was still there. This beep is extremely irritating (I am setting up the phone for my wife so there is a lot at stake here.) Don't know what to do know and would really appreciate some help.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Questions & Answers] AnotherSeeker:
Greetings.

There's a little problem/w DRM/XperiFix I can't wrap my head around.

(XZ2c-H8314, Android 8.0, bootloader unlocked on Android 10)

Process:

- Android 8 firmware is flashed/w Newflasher

-

Bootloop occurs if I input flash vbmeta command

when following MartinX3's Android 8/9 TWRP guide:

"fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img"

- Omitting it & following the rest of instructions works & firmware loads

- Upon first firmware initialization, all's good except the camera preview (DRM keys missing)?

-

XperiFix executes

, however, the DRM

camera preview issues etc. remain

- (Is XperiFix not working bc. of lacking vbmeta command? What could I be doing wrong?)

Tried Flashing:

- permissive.zip (SELinux switch)

- [Pie]Camera_fix_by_MartinX3 & [Pie][Magisk]Camera_fix_by_Serajr

- Different Magisk versions (17.1, 18.1, 19.3)

- no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip (desperate attempt)

Device's a replacement for the broken same-model phone. It all worked there (hardware issues emerged).

Staying on Android 8/w full functionality would be a dream.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers & have a good one.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Supa Richy:
I've experienced the same random reboots over the past few months across several roms. While on PiXeN OS (which sadly was discontinued) and OOS everything worked as intended, the reboots happened on PalladiumOS, EvolutionX and DotOS. Since the characteristics are always the same and I seem to be the only one having these issues it's probably something device specific that gets triggered by some roms.

After using PiXeN again for the past 5 months I decided to reset my phone using the msm tool to rule out any driver specific issues. Afterwards I did a clean install of DotOS and TWRP without Magisk.

I already tried safe mode, which didn't help either so it's not app related.

The reboots seem to somehow be connected to motion. They do happen when the phone is in idle and isn't moved but way less frequently (didn't happen on DotOS yet but it did happen on occasion on the other ROMs) than when it's moved. Whenever I move it my phone reboots after a while (seconds up to an hour), it seemed to happen a lot when being put in a pocket but playing around with pocket detection and wake on pickup did not fix the issue. Whenever there's sound playing the moment the phone crashes it will play a loud sound for 10 seconds without changing the pitch, afterwards the device reboots.

Any thoughts on what the issue may be?

Hi, every now and then my father's gt-n5100 freezes and it needs to downgrade to stock firmware and then I can install a custom recovery to install another custom rom for him which he's comfortable with. after a while something happened that I really dunno about, the battery is changed is All I know but when I tried to fix it again it stucks at gt-n5100 logo and won't go any further I can't even install twrp again, tablet stuck on twrp logo too. I don't have a backup of IMEI and efs folder. my guess is that the situation here is totally f*cked up cuase I can't either work with adb. the only working half functioning recovery I tried and it worked after a while is civz touch 6.0.4.4 or the touchless version of it. it won't mount system or external sd, tried to flash multiple efs files with odin and recovery but no chance. guys I have a little time to fix this tablet it's really necessary for me to do so, if you know anything I can do tell me.

This tablet is very outdated - released 2013,4 & Android 4.

IMHO you have completely softbricked the tablet and you can't fix this at your own, this because ADB isn't working.

My recommendation: take it to authorized service center and let them try to fix it. :)
