about unlock - Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

0.at first you need a xiaomi account
解锁工具需要登入小米账户才能使用
1.All versions can be unlocked
所有的版本 不管是国内版本还是欧洲版本都能去官网解锁
2. channel -> http://en.miui.com/unlock/
官方解锁渠道地址
3.some one need to wait 360hours before unlock , because you have a new xiaomi account，this account lacks enough traces of use
My account has been in use for many years (note that it has been used for many years, not just the account that was registered many years ago)
新账号或者很少使用的账号，可能无法直接用于解锁手机，需要等待几天时间，最长半个月。当然一个老账号一个月内也只能解锁一台。
4.unlock phone will wipe data （format /data）
解锁手机后会自动清空数据 恢复出厂设置

So are you saying create the account now (prior to having the phone), to speed up the waiting time?

---

Nah, i have a 4 years old account, 360 h still .

I am a newbie on Mi so sorry about the question if obvious (this is my first one although I flashed ports a few years back on my ZTE Blade and THL 5000).
So I allow the boot loader unlock on my phone, then I'll perform the proper unlock and only after I'll be able to root my Mi 9, correct?
Thank you in advance

Ok, not sure if I did this correctly.
I signed up for the account and used USA as region.
Downloaded the miflash unlock tool.
I signed into the account and after checking account permissions, it's asking me to connect the phone.
Does this mean I don't have a wait time?
Or only after connecting the phone will I get the wait time?
Phone has been shipped. Might be a few days before I get it.

I thought the same, but once you click unlock and 'ok' the warnings, it'll begin the unlock but then stop saying you need to wait

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to this. My account has been in use for many years (note that it has been used for many years, not just the account that was registered many years ago)

Edit: I fixed my own problem, still just waiting for the unlock!

---

so, as some of the readers know here on Mi 9 forum, im new to Xiaomi itself, so my Mi 9 arrive tomorrow, and i want to put Xiaomi.eu rom on it since they fix most of the bugs and problems of the global rom outsorced by Xiaomi itself...
My question is: after unlock the bootloader on boot image we will have a message like Pixel/LG phones saying we have unlocked bootloader and the phone is unsafe or we did just have a locker unlocked saying the same but without the message warning during boot?
that message anoying me so much that i just dont want to unlock if the message pop up, instead if the locker are in their place, im in to unlock it!

It just shows a small lock that is open and the text unlocked. It's very subtle

Yes, it doesn't add a new screen, it just changes the stock "Mi" boot screen by adding the text Unlocked with an open lock. Plus, I just saw a thread about changing various boot screens : Link, so theoretically you can even remove the text showing your phone is unlocked if that bothers you
