If I flashed the stock MIUI 10 with miflash and by mistake I chose "clean all and lock", and the bootloader got locked again, should I wait again for the waiting period if I want to unlock it?! Or is the waiting period a one-time thing?
Thanks
once you have the permission from Xiaomi! you can unlock again with same procedure!
You have to wait only once to unlock the bootloader after that you can lock and relock bootloader anytime

Ok.
I actually haven't unlocked the bootloader yet, does the waiting time happen after I press the Unlock button on miui unlock app?
Because I once saw something like "getting the permission for your account" and it showed up for less than a minute and it's gone, but I didn't unlock it back then, so my question is, when exactly does the waiting period happen? Thanks a lot

Thanks, this helps a lot, when locking the bootloader again, does the device show locked or relocked in bootloader status? (like Huawei devices)

I had an unlocked bootloader to try and block the upgrade Updade Service but did not update, then tried again to unlock bootloader, so I'm not getting, is giving error.
How do I?
I'm sorry whaaa?
You had an unlocked bootloader. You still have an unlocked bootloader. Don't see any cause for worry.

No, my bootloader is locked, a flash file that I blocked again.
I made the lock to try to upgrade to the ICS but had not tried to unlock then upgrade again and is giving error.

Hey Guys,
short question. I've the phone new and natual I wanted to unlook the bootloader first. But now I'm a little bit worried. Can someone who unlock his bootloader already say me if the fingerprint unlock still works?
At the unlock app the give the warning that the fingerprint unlock after unlock th bootloader will not work anymore.
Some experience please?
Thx

Works fine
Not sure what you saw but unlocking the bootloader doesn't have any effect on regular fingerprint unlock for the phone. It will stop Android Pay from working and might do the same for MI Pay.

That's true but he didn't mention rooting his phone and it might not work the same way with MI PAY.

I think this is an misunderstanding because I just got my mi mix 2 as well and I thought the same, but it actually says that it just won't be as secure with the bootloader unlocked. I just read wrong.
Hello.
Is there any other way to root my poco f3 without waiting for the 168-hour bootloader to unlock, which must be unlocked via the miunlockflash tool?
Thanks

Nope, don't think so, or everyone would be doing it!!
no other way, everyone has to wait the 168 hours

No. Even if there was: NEVER FLASH SOMETHING WITHOUT THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED. If you do you have a very high risk of a SOFT BRICK meaning you have to send your phone to a service centre
Don't want to intercept this thread but just wanted to ask. Will I need to have my phone turned off while waiting for the 1 week period or can I just use it normally?

I am curious on one aspect. If I unlock my Mi 11 Lite SE 5G by waiting for 7 days, load custom ROM and after some days move back to the device original ROM and lock the bootloader, will I have to wait for another 7 days if I want to unlock again??
In my Xiaomi K20 Pro, locking and unlocking was instant, I did it so many times. There was no waiting for 7 days.

Don't know. I would rather make my mind first, do I want to keep unlocked or return to the locked BL
