[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] goo.gle:
Same error here on a Poco X3 Pro, been daily driving it for over 7 days after a motherboard replacement and their 168 hours countdown should've ended already. It's not a driver issue, the phone does show up both in the Mi Unlock Tool and ADB upon entering fastboot devices. My Mi Unlock Tool version is 7.6.727.43 which it mentions being the latest.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] bogaki:
Same problem here I am using the phone for more than 7days after the error,and it s the second bind acount after I had same things.I am trying to unlock it for over a month and cannot.the only way is to pay someone to unlock it as I see it from this moment.the device internals are perfect the miui sucks.Unfortunatly my conclusion is that the Chinese they try to do everything they can in order to not let you change the rom.For example if u run evolution x rom in Poco f5 it's like a Google pixel, everything works fine no ads no bloatware and perfect camera software..If anyone knows a way to unlock please inform!
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
I tried to unlock a Poco X3 pro that is almost 2 years old, I do not receive the verification SMS for MiUnlock while that of activating Micloud / locate the device works.

I have already unlocked several Xiaomi or poco and even trying all the possible work around, same.

I guess there is a problem on Xiaomi's side or as said on this post, this is the beginning of the end.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mongaidsd:
Interesting! Tomorrow a new Mi account I've created will have reached 7 days, I will try your workaround and see if it works.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] bogaki:
Done everything with this specific order and always have the same result and same error
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
"fastboot oem unlock"

Only works with old models, nothing new in this post except confusion.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mongaidsd:
Nope, this workaround didn't work. Nevertheless, there is one last workaround to try before selling this phone which I just found in the same thread I created on Reddit.

"GUYS, I THINK I'VE FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!

Yesterday my 7 day waiting period finished at around 7 pm CST, a few hours before that, I tried to unlock the bootloader for my Poco F5 but it said that I needed to wait 2 more hours, I waited and tried again, but I received the "This device has been activated for less than 7 days. Please activate it for 7 days before trying to unlock it again." error message.

I tried everything, factory reset, enable and disable OEM unlock, usb debugging, older MiUnlock versions, etc but nothing worked.

I noticed that, when going to my xiaomi account section from the settings app, under Devices>Current Device, my phone said that the SIM card isn't installed or activated (I had the sim card installed all troughout the 7 days), I tried to activate it by going to Xiaomi Account again> Xiaomi Cloud > Turn on Call history and Messages, this can only be done by using mobile data, no WiFi, if it doesn't get activated, restart the phone and try again, it took me a few tries before it got activated, now whenever I went to the Current device section from the Xiaomi Account option, the SIM card option showed my phone number, then I tried to unlock it again from the PC and now it was able to unlock it!!

If you have any further questions, I can help you."
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] androidbot102:
I really can't activate Call History and Messages. I tried to click Turn On but it can't open. Really bad.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mongaidsd:
Go to to Settings/Apps/Manage Apps and search for cloud, once done click on Xiaomi Cloud then App permissions now you should see call logs permissions make sure it's allowed.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
You must first activate the location on the Xiaomi account then an SMS will be sent for activation provided that your plan allows it.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mrsimple1:
Can you help me with this problem
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] maximo2322:
i have the same problem help please
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
I think most of us agree that this is on xiaomi's end problem. But also this is so infuriating, it feels random but intentional. For now, I'm trying almost all version of Mi Unlock Tools I can find on the internet.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] L22EEW:
I was able to unlock my bootloader (first attempt), after waiting 168 hours. I left a active sim card in the phone, while using my other phone for day to day tasks.

My next task is now to root, add Magisk. I have seen a few guides online on how to achieve this, but is there a more upto date XDA guide available?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
Hi, I'm curious. Did you ever turn off or restart your phone when waiting that 168 hours? And what device is it?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] L22EEW:
I left a active sim card in, and the phone was left on at home. As I used my other phone for day to day use.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] Keczuu:

i will take it as a success
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mrsimple1:

[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mrsimple1:
Do you remove sim card ?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] Keczuu:
nah i wasnt trying to unlock it for like 10 days and now i get this
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mrsimple1:
Now success?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
Infuriating... Tomorrow will be my next try. I have my suspicion about rebooting this phone. When rebooted, the uptime counter will reset and that "activated 7 days" crap will appear. But then you posted about "the device has not activated”, now I'm really unmotivated since in my case tomorrow probably will be the same as yours...
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mrsimple1:
Post comment if you success dude
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
So here it is the result after last try.

I think it's blocked by them.

I also looking at the other forum, people can't recover any backup from xiaomi cloud too. Something is happening, and frustrating.

[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
i think whatever version it is, it'll appear the same. it's just an app container anw. i've already tried 2 months ago. the problem is xiaomi's user who trying to unlock bootloader in about past 3 months unable to do it because same error. sometimes people who trying to give solution already done this waaay before this problem (on xiaomi's side) arise. so, i dare to say most of the times, their solution is not working at all. it worked before past 3 months, but now, i'm doomed. i've been factory reset it, waiting, turning on all the services i could turn on, another waiting, every rules they said, none solve it.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
if you're lucky can pass 2fa. most of older version blocked it. the older older ones are redirecting to your xiaomi cloud home.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
Here's what a Chinese user posted:

Xiaomi may ban unlock bootloader in the future, maybe only in China or globally.

This appears to be a requirement of Chinese government agencies. Xiaomi, which is headquartered in Beijing, may be the first to obey orders. If I can’t unlock the bootloader, I won’t buy Xiaomi again.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] mrsimple1:
I,mmm surenderr won't buy Xiaomi again🤣🤣🤣
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] fikadit:
Yeah, i've read about it before. I hope it's false news though. Users should know everything about this kind of announcement, shouldn't we?
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
in fact this user asked how to unlock his bootloader to install an AOSP, he did not succeed and after some research, he posted this.

Xiaomi communicates mainly to sell but regarding technical information it is rubbish just like the new.c.mi.com site which has considerably deteriorated in recent years.

News update: HyperOS is going to make it even harder to unlock the bootloader. Apparently Chinese users need to reach level 5 on Mi (?) forums to be able to even get permission to unlock the bootloader.

If Xiaomi restricts unlocking the bootloader even further, or bans it entirely, they will lose a lot of their customers.

The majority of Xiaomi users buy their phones because they have amazing hardware for low prices. But their software (MiUI) is absolute trash so everyone rushes to root and flash a custom ROM immediately.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
Hyperos

Will there be an EU version of the Hyperos version?

[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] argonaut459:
Digging this up, as it's about half a year later and I'm probably going to flash my joyeuse device with a custom rom.

Any news on how this is working by now, or working at all?

News on how and if the bootloader is locked with their newest devices?

Sincerely

[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
For devices with Miui the procedure remains the same and for those who have updated to HyperOS, it's here:

⚙️How to unlock bootloader on Xiaomi HyperOS(all devices).

Only for GLOBAL devices. 1/Check here that your device is Global and not CN with a Global ROM. https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirements...

For CN devices released with hyperOS, use a third-party paid service.
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] argonaut459:
Thank God I'm in Germany, I'd hate to have to pay for getting the bootloader unlocked on this not so old device.

Still running MIUI, and will check out the link about hyperOS later today.

Let's see if I'll ever buy a Xiaomi if they make it nigh impossible to easily unlock and lock the bootloader.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Sincerely

Julian
[Xiaomi Poco F4 GT /  Redmi K50 Gaming] NOSS8:
For MIUI it's the old procedure:

Unlocking procedure:

data+location

On the phone's Xiaomi account, devices/current device/locate device.

Then

Xiaomi Community

new.c.mi.com

Apply for unlocking Mi devices

en.miui.com

Btw: this is not a decision of Xiaomi but of the Chinese government.
[General Questions and Answers] swojak78:
Hello.

I just bought Realme 10 from polish shop. Previously I had xiaomi remi 5 note. This old phone was rooted. I don't want to root the new one.

I just done copy all settings and applications from old phone.

After I launched realme with all settings copied it turns out, that one app cannot be open - it see Magisk app (it was also seen on xiaomi with hide option).

I don't know if I need to just unistall magisk? But i don't see this option.

2nd thing is that I cannot install some applications dedicated for PL region. But I have set in google play PL region. Also on the new and old phone there was the same setting - PL(Poland).

Are you able to help here?

Is there I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] gabrl12345678900:
Probably the Gsi doesn't know that your phone is compatible with 5ghz wifi

The weird part is, that it can see it fine. It just wont connect.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] kevinco1:
What build of LOS are you using? Bluetooth didn't work for this device until a few months ago when the proper commits were added to fix the issue

If you're on the latest then do a factory reset and see if that helps. If not then I'd advise to start over and flash the latest firmware again

I'm running this one:

I fear I have messed up a step somewhere when going from stock to GSI, as i kept gettings errors formatting every partition in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
First of all, you have to know the difference between wiping and formatting. Wiping only erases certain part of a partition while formatting erases everything. The only partition you should format is the data partition. The rest just need a factory reset wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] Dasmikko:
I see.

Should I flash stock rom before reinstalling GSI again?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
That would be the safest bet.

Hello,

I've bought a Flip Cover for my A34 5G and would like the screen to wake up while opening the flip.

Is there a way doing this ? With a Good Lock option ? Something else ?

Thanks for your help !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy A34] AtomicStryker:
Well there is two ways to do it: By a magnet triggering on/off similar to how a Kindle does it, but the A34 does not have that hardware, or the case has to mechanically press the on button as you open the cover. I havent seen that on Android phones, as the button is on the right side and covers would usually hinge/open to the left.

If you have a cover, you would not suffer from the touch-while-locked issue with the virtual proximity sensor, yes? Why not use tap to wake in that case. It's a little more effort than just opening the cover, but probably the best you can do.
[Samsung Galaxy A34] lepas33:
That sounds logic. Thanks a lot for your answer !!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ricksakuma:
I want to buy a htc touch pro from att no commitment, i have an iphone plan which i only pay $20 a month, can I just switch sims and get away with paying that instead of $30 a month for data?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cdaws306:
AFAIK, this will not work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ricksakuma:
Why wouldn't it work? Even if I unlocked the phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jimbobcooterrooter:
because the iPhone plan works in conjunction with the imei of your iPhone, in this case when you use the internet on a PDA/Blackberry with the iPhone plan the system will know you are not using an iPhone and thus charge you accordingly......i am a Store manager and i see this more often then not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] skyfox99:
Well yes... and no.

Swapping out SIM cards would technically work, but as jim points out, the system at&t uses does recognize IMEI and at some point would catch that you are using PDA device on a iPHONE data plan in theory... but your problem really wouldn't be until when/if they caught you as I have heard, but never seen myself, happens. The only thing that would definitely not work with swapping out your SIM card in the MMS would NOT work ever on the iPHONE data plan as the MMS is blocked via the network system. But if 10 or 15bucks a months is really worth risking hundreds (if not thousands, I have seen bills that high) than that is you lack of reason.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jimbobcooterrooter:
this is also true, but it is also true that voicemail wouldnt not function properly, mms would actually be fine, because mms is a limitation of the iphone, it isnt blocked by the system on the back end. I often switch between my fuze/iphone/ and bold and the visual voicemail provisioning will allow VM to work, however it will send you a text after each VM and after you check your VM, very annoying.
