(SOLVED: IT WORKS!!!)request bootloader unlock before receiving phone - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

i purchased a redmi note 3 online and i'm supposed to get it in a month or so, i read that it takes long time before bootloader unlock is approved. i already created a miui account. just wondering can i submit my request right now and wait for it to get approved, willl it even get approved? or should i wait for the phone? i already added details on my profile about what MIUI version im running and what device i have. any one ever done that? thanks

I never doing that..but..
I think there's nothing wrong with that...even that way it's clever way to avoid long wait permission from xiaomi while the phone needed for unlocking quickly..

i think im gonna try that, someone on reddit did and got approved

i just submitted my application, will post the result

You get approved in less than a day since recently

holy hell i just got approved in less than 20 mins! this is awesome

from last 10-15 days approval takes maximum 30 mins..earlier it took 2-7 days

i guess its getting automated now

finally they must have upgraded their slow servers

i guess so

On Monday when I tried, I got an approval text 4 minutes after I applied.

Great

How does Android N OTA takes to arrive for download?

I'm Nexus 9 LTE bootloader is unlocked and uncyrpted. I haven't received the OTA for Android N after signing up over an hour ago, I'll heard it's pretty instantaneous. Why is it taking longer for my Nexus 9 receive it? Any know, I'm in UK.
Same here. Enrolled this morning, still no sign of it. My friend with N9 non-LTE got it within next 5 min ?
I enrolled yesterday afternoon and have not received it yet.
mine is definitely more than a day already. :S
I know why because Google has stopped the download rolling out to Nexus 9 until they can fix the issue with Nexus 9 not updating successfully -

Yes, just read thru the N9 General threads and you'll see numerous people have had their devices bricked by the N Preview OTA. Be thankful you didn't get the update.

Xiaomi support

Has anyone actually managed to speak to someone from xiaomi support? I wrote email 4 days ago about my phone that broke after two weeks. I got one automated response saying "we will contact you in 24 working hours" and that was 3 days ago.
I am sat here with a phone that does not boot or charge. I can't believe I fell for the cheap phone trick. I will never ever buy xiaomi again.
I'm having the same problem as you. The device stopped working after 2 weeks of purchase and it is not working anymore.
I tried all available solutions so far such as rebooting to EDL mode then flash official Rom.
It works again for sometime then brick again.
Hopefully I see a solution for that soon

It's all over now anyway. Can't start it at all since he battery is now completely flat and it won't charge at all.
Well Xiaomi told me to contact the seller and the seller has denied me warranty for flashing OFFICIAL firmware.
I'm never buying from this company again, what a total joke.

no update since last year

so, i was waiting patiently for a very long time for another update, but nothing came. it was when i was on my last straw being forced to look at boxes whenever anyone with an apple device posted emojis did i search around and see there is indeed a 2019 update. i talked to a huawei employee and he told me to DL hisuite on the PC, which i did. when i connected and clicked update, it claimed i was up to date. yet when i checked my emui it's 5.
so, i want to save myself some trouble before i ask to even get the update: did huawei fix the boxes i see whenever anyone using apple posts an emote? and has anyone even had this problem? am i the only one? if the answer is yes to the first question, what can i do to update my mediapad pro since it keeps insisting nothing is wrong with it?

Unlock Bootloader wait 15 days?

Hi there. I recently got a poco F1. I wanted to unlock bootloader asap but knew i had to wait for three days. Therefore i registered my Mi account on the phone, turned on dev options + OEM unlock + USB debugging. Also associated the phone with my account. I tried to unlock but it told me to wait for 360 hours. No panic because I read that was just 72 hours.
Then i waited for 3 days. I tried to unlock with unlocker but it said wait for 290 hours. Waited some more (i use the phone right now) but still get the message: please unlock 175 hours later. (at 99%).
Can you help me in the right direction as to what I'm doing wrong? Or should I wait for 175 extra hours?
You will have to wait till the time it shows.

It was earlier when it was launched and they later on changed it to more days.

When I unlocked my phone, it unlocked without any waiting time. Just started unlocking and Boom. Device unlocked. Not even the 3 day waiting time?

Question New firmware 64.1.A.0.913

As I'm rooted, I have to manually check for updates via xperifirm. There was an upsated released: version 64.1.A.0.913.
Anybody updated and tested? Apparently camera apps have been updated! Any new features?
I wont get time to update yet, just thought I'd ask.
Thanks
Unless I'm mistaken, this update allows you to switch from android 12 to android 13
Huh we have android 13 for months now ...so i would say no .
Its for sure a security patch.
Chinese 72 got it 2 weeks ago , european 54 got it a week ago and US has to wait for another two weeks , i wish it would be all at the same time .
Hello,
The only feature I expericence since the upgraded is the "phone too hot warning" issue. I use the phone since late november without any trouble.
For the latest week, the phone displayed the orange warning sign and closed the camera app maybe 10 times. It couldn't even go through a 10 minutes google meet call...
It may not be related to the latest release, and I may be the only one having this issue...

Yeah, you're right about security patch. Thought perhaps something has trickled down from the new phone releases, like improved camera apps as they have changed their version numbers. Thanks

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I will update in a few days and see if I have the same issue. Though tbh, I havent had as many issues as some have, perhaps because of root and cleaning up some bloat and adding in adblockers etc.
You should do a full all apps cache wipe and see if that helps.

I had overheating problems with meet and 5g i was outside but on older different firmware.
You also have to understand now its summer time (probably in your country too) so you cant really compare november temperatures with current ones unless you did that in room with AC on.
I'm on the latest US version so still waiting for our update for this cycle. But since my last update, the phone has been very warm to the touch during normal use and I've seen the heat warning many times while using camera. I have never seen it before. Battery life is crap now too and used to be fantastic. Maybe you guys lucked out last month and the US version got whatever it was to cause the heating issues first? My last update was around 300mb so it was bigger that usual I think.

I had that sometimes on .891 ,couldnt get it to work no matter what but it goes away eventually with restarts .
Edit: i just got the .913 and qr reader works fine. Been using my phone before that for 2 hrs and no overheating ,after installing 913 and checking camera apps for 1 minute my top part of the screen got extremly hot but didnt show any overheating warnings.nothing changed so far in camera related apps (no portrait mode)
