Accidentaly lock bootloader - Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have a problem when i try change rom from vendor to xiaomi.eu, while flashin china stable by MI Flash Tool i do it to fast and I choose 'Clean All and Lock'.
NOw i have to wait 720h for official unlock or there are any other solution?
Thanks

If the bootloader was officially unlocked by your account you can unlock it right now. If not you have to make a mi account and apply for bootloader unlocked. This will take from 360 to 760 hours.

Just reading "accidentally locked my bootloader" makes me cringe.
But sadly, he's right. There's no way around the wait time (yet).

Last year on my mi mix IT tooks 3day... Now 720h...

720 hours is ridiculous. Xiaomi sucks!

Flash Official Full ROM without unlocking bootloader

How can I flash MIUI 9 Official Full ROM without unlocking the bootloader?
I pressed the ”OEM Unlocking” without unlocking the bootloader. I didn't even enter the approved account in "Mi unlock status". Now the status is unlocked. The bootloader is actually still locked. When I use PC to unlock bootloader, it goes until 99% and gives me the error "Current account is not bound to this device". I tried resetting the phone from settings (wipe data partition) but the status is still unlocked.
The question is how can I undo the status to locked so that I can continue unlocking this device and enter the approved account to "Mi unlock status"?

Apply for permission, wait to receive confirmation, sign into account on phone and on Mi unlock tool. Bit too Fastboot mode, on Mi-unlock tool it gets to 99% and then should give you a message to wait 360 hours. This is correct, it will work after the amount of time (about 2 weeks).
Thanks,
But this problem got even worse. I updated to MIUI 9.5 from MIUI 9.1. The update failed. It is not possible to boot into Android either. I even tried formating data. The bootloader is locked. I applied permission and already received it.
I bought the phone via China Mobile.
I suspect that my ROM may be a fake one. But it looks totaly original.
1. 4 digit version code
2. NCKMIEI --> Official and correct MIUI 9.1 version
3. Gapps preinstalled
4. No bloatware
5. Everything looks the same like the original ROM
6. Even Mi Remote is working
What I'm thinking about now is how is the Mi status "Unlocked" even I didn't even enter the approved Mi account used to unlock the bootloader.
I know the bootloader is really "locked" because
[email protected]> fastboot oem device-info
Locked

I'm currently trying to flash CN MIUI ROM through EDL mode (test point) because Global ROM failed. Then try to unlock bootloader from CN MIUI ROM and re-flash Global ROM through MiFlash
Okay, so the phone runs fine now. The phone now runs CN MIUI 9 9.5.3.0 stable version. I am still waiting for the 360 hours (15 days) man!!! for the bootloader unlocking. I applied for the unlocking. Will update when I successfully return to Global Stable ROM.
I flashed CN MIUI 9 ROM via test point. When it reboots, it will show you the error you've encountered before. Relax! Just reboot and wait for about 15 minutes and your phone is alive again.
Thanks Xiaomi for the INCREDIBLY TIGHT SECURITY ???

There is some risk you have to take in order to flash via EDL (test point) mode.
1. You have to backup all of your data. When you flash via EDL mode, your phone will return to "stock" like when you first buy the phone.
2. Flashing via EDL mode will involve removing the phone's back cover. You have to do this if you really want to flash via EDL mode.

Yes. You can unlock bootloader after flashing with EDL mode.
Only use China ROM if you bought your phone from China. If your phone is International phone / not bought from China, I advice you to flash Global ROM first. If it doesn't work, then try China ROM.

Have you tried a different account? Try registering a new account and don't change anything. Then apply unlock bootloader permission at https://en.miui.com/unlock/. After applying for permission, enter your account details in Mi Unlock Status.
If you have a PC, download Mi Unlock Tool here: http://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u265827351/2.3.803.10/miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10.zip
Open Mi Unlock Tool by clicking miflash_unlock.exe.
Enter your login details and reboot your phone to fastboot mode.
Plug in your phone.
Press unlock.
If successful, you will see a message with "After 360 hours of trying to unlock device"
This is normal.
You need to wait for 15 days to try to unlock the bootloader.
There is no quicker way to overcome this. I also waited for 15 days. Also please don't keep pressing unlock in your PC when the 15 days is not over. It will block your device and you can't unlock again.
If you need some personal assistance, private message me and I will give you my Facebook / Messenger ID.

Update bricked Redmi 6 Pro

Hello everybody. Last month I bought Redmi 6 Pro. Then, I wanted to unlock bootloader it to install MIUI10 as it had MIUI8. After procedures, I had to wait for 360 hours to unlock the bootloader. I waited 15 days and then unlocked my phone. After unlocking the bootloader the phone rebooted and while booting I saw Unlocked in the screen. Then I wanted to install official MIUI10 form this link: http://en.miui.com/download-349.html#545. I tried to install using the local update method. However, after an unsuccessful install, my phone shows Mi-Recovery screen with 3 menus:
1. Reboot
2. Wipe Data
3. Connect MiAssisstant
Reboot just reboots to this menu. Wipe data did not help. MiAssisstant didn't recognize this phone as it says it does not support this phone. I tried then flash using MiFlash and it gave an error "Erase boot error", which my research revealed that it is related to bootloader being locked. I used adb in fastboot mode and it shows bootloder being locked. I do not know how this happened as I am 100% sure I unlocked it. Then I tried to unlock again and says I have to wait 30 days.
Is there any faster solution? Why do I have to wait 30 days as I already waited 15 days for unlocking?
My phone is connected to my account.
My MI ID is 1892506370.
Please help me.
Some may suggest EDL but I want my phone's bootloader to unlock, which in turn may solve my problem.
Forgive me if thi post is in the wrong category. I am new.
P.S. I tried all the suggested solution available on the net and none worked.
You have to wait 30 days because you recently unlocked your device, once you unlock a device there has to be a gap of 30 days before unlocking another device (or even same device again)
I had same issue on my redmi 3s prime as i unlocked my bootloader of redmi 6 pro & while flashing miui to redmi 3s prime i accidentally locked bootloader, it showed me 30 days wait, so what i did, i created a new account from scratch & then logged on my redmi 3s prime with that account so i had to wait 72 hours only for binding process & then i unlocked my bootloader
But as your device is dead, i will suggest you either move to care centre they can repair your device through edl method or else wait for 30 days
Mine locked after flashing miuipro. Miflash said I have to wait 30 days because you can unlock 1 device on 1 account once in month. But I used redmi 6 pro toolkit to unlock it. Somehow it bypassed this and unlocked right away.

Aren't you ashamed of putting a trojan in it? SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Are you crazy? What kind of anti-virus are you using? I took this toolkit from xiaomi.eu forum. It worked for me like a charm. I haven't been messing around in it.

Try this one.
So you're crazy. What is this? Any toolkit can be consider by anti-virus as a threat. Mine showed nothing. Anyways, do what you want. This toolkit helped me unlock my phone right away. Believe it or not and wait 1 month.
check once again bro.
Even chrome failed to download it and says Virus detected.
I've downloaded it to phone. Maybe someone did something to it lately. Anyways it worked for 2 months ago.
Wonderful !
Though Windows/chrome shows it as malware/virus.
I managed to download it on the phone and transferred it to PC.
It works like charm.
I unlocked my bootloader.
Download it, before it stops working/someone deletes it.
Thanks for providing the link

Hey, friend. Let me ask you a question.
If I unlock the bootloader using the toolkit, and flash India Rom (on chinese phone), can I have problems in future (to install OTA updates etc..) ?
Or is it better to wait 15 days and unlock with the official miflashtool ?
Unlocked bootloader is unlocked bootloader. There's no difference. The toolkit uses miflash unlock anyways. So it's pretty official way. I've used it to unlock second time the same phone in one day. U can't do it officially on one account because you have to wait 30 days. Toolkit bypassed this waiting time period somehow. I don't know what will happen if you're unlocking for the first time. Maybe you will have to wait 15 days like official way. You have to try and let us know. Flashing roms after unlocking is the same.
hello guys,i unlocked my redmi 6 pro but cannot change to global rom,in miflash it says "missmatching device" help me pls
Redmi 6 Pro Toolkit really works to unlock the bootloader for the second time without having to wait 30 days. !!!
Hai..
I have same problem too.. my phone was bricked after miui 10 updated ,then i bring to the store, and they installed china dev rom for my redmi 6 pro, but i wanna bring back my miui global rom.
Now i'd already try with redmi 6 pro toolkit , and i got same message for the ubl.. must wait until 360 days.. any another suggestion..?
this tool unlocked bootloader instantly
This tool unlocked bootloader instantly without wait and unbricked my device. Thank you!
even after using this toolkit and following the instructions im gettin 360 hr wait time...
This tool won't help you skip waiting period if you unlocking your device for the first time. It will help skip 1 month waiting when you want to unlock using same account for the second time. That was in my case.
the archives is either unknown or damage

Unlock bootloader problem.

As I want to root my phone, it's need to be unlock bootloader. I followed the rule of unlocking boot loader. When I tried to mi unlock my device by computer, Its noticed me that " couldn't unlock. Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.''
My question will come from notice,
1. Have any way to unlock the device before 168 hours?
2. Can I I unlock my device by the same MI account ( And do not add your account in MI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.) ?
3. " And do not add your account in MI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.'' means?
Device: redmi note 9 Pro Max ( Indian)

1. No, when you unlock bootloader for the first time on a device you have to wait for 7 days, especially when the device is new in the market
2.yes
3. After your request for bootloader unlock (i.e when the mi unlock shows 168 hours) do not add you account in the mi unlock status option in developer setting or you'll have to wait for 7 days again.
Even after all this I'm getting couldn't get info error

Is it really possible to unlock the xiaomi mi bootloader prematurely?

I have spent all night now and googled around, found TOUSNEDS solutions but none work.
Want to be able to unlock it so I can flash magically "hacked" boot.img. Is there any other way you can go?
I have even been so desprat i've tryed all those "one click root" tools. No succses haha
Nope, you must request the unlock and then wait (one week or so)..
you follow the Xiomi Rulles, in developer settings with data,not wifi , apply for bootloadrer ,then wait one week , after that use Xiaomi mi Unlock tools to unlock it. there is no other way.
