Yes, or you must have a account where you unlocked a device before. Most of the times you need to wait 720/360 hours or so.

So I just bought a used Mi6 from eBay. Now I can't fully remember but if I want to unlock it, I would need the original mi account right? If I don't have it, does that mean I can't unlock it?
Bump
No one knows?
Depends if the last owned linked their account to it or not.
Good news, received today, logged into mi account in the flash tool and its unlocked.
Time to fire up aospa.

Will test during the weekend. Why didn't your unlock work? What error message did you get?

Stuck at 99% just saying can't unlock.
I'm assuming for now that even though I got my text I still need to wait for 3 days minimum for the unlock to actually go through.
Waiting sucks but to some extent I'm glad as it stops me rushing into anything.
Now my environment for flashing is set up so I can flash over to the latest China Dev and then install ROMs etc.
Seems to be the way to do it to get the latest firmware.

Any message like account not bound to device?
Did you add the mi account in the bootloader status settings?

Nah it says to try again in 18 hours.
English is a bad translation so I thought it was telling me I'd only waited that long.
But it's gone down from 25 so I'm assuming it's a timer. So ETA 18 hours to unlock for me
I've done everything perfectly
You have to create an official Mi Account and apply for unlocking !
After your application is approved and you connected your device with your account you have to wait 72 hours.
Then you can easily unlock with the official unlock tool
Hello guys ,
I tried to unlock my boatloader and when i pressed on oem unlocking and kept going next it ended at the screen saying connect to computer and type fast boot thing .
It didn't request me to wait 14 days , is that normal guys ? And i can unlock it safely now right ?
Note : This is the first time for me to enter that option
Thanks
Short answer: no.

It is weird because i didn't wait for 14 days :/ it was ready to be unlocked from the first time without waiting
That's why i was asking if that was normal .
Thanks anyway
If you want to unlock try if its working. Theres no risk if it doesnt work you maybe have to wait 14 days. Do you bought it already used?
Maybe you send an request long time ago

It is not weird if your bootloader was already unlocked and then locked again.

Thanks for your reply .
Im just afraid that if the screen got broken or any thing like that , the lenovo repair centers won't accept to repair the phone even if i wanted to pay for the repairs , will they ??
And i bought the phone as new , but i sent it to the repair center once before , i was wondering if they are who unlocked then relocked it

No way but to wait. Xiaomi policies require phones to be on original software for certain number of days before they let you unlock it. It's to prevent resellers from modifying the phone before they sell. Or may be to do with how they make money money through ads and stuff.
Hi to all, I just got the F3. I have bad time unlocking the bootloader and need advice.
Sim card with data is inserted.
Mi account is logged to the device
Find device and location are enabled
OEM unlock, USB debugging are enabled and I have applied for bootloader unlock.
Edit: at the end I managed to begin the unlock process saying I would try after 357 hours! 15 days! What is that;

A safe way is to not use the phone during that period.

Of course and it is obsolete but this method still works for those who are in a hurry, just create another account and try it for free.

In general 168 hours but sometimes depending on the country and the phone the wait is more or less higher.
I had the case with a new redmi note 7 where the unlocking was done in 36 hours while my poco or my 11t pro took 168 hours, why I don't know.

I tried but no joy. I have to wait.
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
