a question about bootloader unlocking/locking

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)

Can we unlock the bootloader bypassing the time restrictions?

Friends,
I just bought the RN5 Pro. And is there any way to bypass the time limit and unlock the bootloader immediately?

Question Unlock bootloader error

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Of course and it is obsolete but this method still works for those who are in a hurry, just create another account and try it for free.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

Xiaomi suspended upgrade process from A10 to A11 or 12 so you'll need to unlock the bootloader and flash latest fastboot rom with MiFlash.

Try to download the latest rom in Android 10 rom and update (3 dots at the top right). Same procedure for A11 and A12,first and last.
If nothing works, unlock the bootloader and use Miflash.

If you unlock the bootloader,try these roms,better than stock.

You MUST unlock bootloader and install official global rom via fastboot and mi flash utility using PC. Once you unlock bootloader DON`T lock it again!!!!! I did all that few days ago since i wasn`t receiving any OTA updates either. Phone works like a charm.

The problem if you do not lock the bootloader, the play store will not be certified, which means that certain apps like Netflix, will not be available, also certain banking apps will not work. The solution being to root and use Magisk hide .
Locking the bootloader is possible provided your phone is not a Chinese version.
All this is useless with a Xiaomi Eu rom (playstore certified without root).
BTW:
Your first link has already been posted.
The second ?.
The third has nothing to do with the subject.

Didn`t have time to read all so i posted what he needs to get the update. Second link is where to get the rom, and third link of video tutorial has everything to do with subject because guy in the video shows how to flash official rom to your phone and what to do if flashing gives error. So it was meant for him to watch, not for others who need netflix. But if he needs netflix he can just ignore most of recommendations here and just root his phone if he knows how and finds some simple way so he doesn`t brick his phone

This is the problem, since you post a tutorial for those who have an unlocked bootloader and this is not the case.
And Youtube is not the reference unlike XDA

I posted the exact tutorial and process i used 3 days ago and it is to unlock bootloader, download rom he needs and use video to flash it. Simple. I had exact same situation and i fallowed these steps. I don`t see any problem, and if it is, let admins delete my posts and i won`t try to help since it gets judged immediately like i did something terrible. Anyway, since i posted a question my self with a little problem, if this is the way i might get some answers by explaining every single thing i or anyone else post, then this is not the right place to get answers... Best of luck to Powerhero with updating his phone. I hope he chooses best and easiest solution and enjoy his phone with new software.
Farewell

This is wrong, since you have a version of phone Global.

If you have a phone in a version other than Chinese, you can completely relock the bootloader. But this has already been mentioned.

After using Mi unlock you will have to wait 168 hours to finalize the procedure.
Then use Miflash to flash the A12 rom, first do not relock the bootloader, check that everything works and that A12 suits you then lock the bootloader if you do not want to try other roms like Xaiomi EU rom.
Mi unlock and Miflash will erase all your data.

one more thing sir and sorry for that. the process with xaiomi phones is a bit different i used to do it with samsung phones.
i did all the steps to unlock the bootloader
and tells me to wait 168 hours to unlock.
now should i use the phone normally and what things not to do untill the 168 hours complete
and finally when flashing the rom.how to prevent re-locking the bootloader and how to lock it if i want to.
thank you best regards

Bootloader Temp unlock

Does anyone know some trusted tool can perform temp unlock bootloader?
under the temp unlocked bootloader can you install customer recovery?
and during the process will it format your userdata?
thanks

thank you for the info.
but currenlty my phone is locked due to file glitch.(after i changed my pattern lock, it never unlocks again)(ppl say it's gatekeeper glitch and it happens sometime)
and since i debloat the mi service frame before, i did not add any mi account to the phone.
so mi flash unlock does not work, it asked me to add mi account....
i saw some people temp unlocked bootloader with rec5.0 sideload method,
but I have not try yet.
i am still looking for a way to save my data
