This is not aiming to know how long it took Xiaomi to send you the unlock permission via SMS.
This aims to know how long you had to wait AFTER receiving this until MiFlashUnlock would let you unlock your bootloader.
Most people get an error with the MiFlashUnlock stuck at 50% for quite some time (after receiving permission) before the unlock works as intended.
Please only answer if you actually managed to unlock your BL and not if you are still waiting.
I just want to clear up all these threads claiming you have to jump through 1000 of hoops and dance around a fireplace naked and after that the unlock will work 1000% of the time, while most likely you just have to wait some time until Xiaomi updates their servers with the unlock Info.
In mine case it took 5 days. And i was able to unlock only by older version of unlock tool.

You don't need to give message, just apply for unlocking permissions, look here - en.miui.com/unlock.
Once you successfully applied for approval, then wait few days, you'll get a confirmation message regarding the same, then try unlocking your phone.
I bought from gearbest, somehow my phone was already unlocked. Since it was my first Xiaomi I didn't recognize and applied for unlocking. After 4 days I received the SMS. I tried to unlock before with "fastboot devices" (used a Linux based OS) and it said the devices was locked. When I tried to unlock the official way the program stated "no need to unlock". Strangely with all the recommended drivers installed (now in Windows 10) fastboot devices showed an unlocked phone. Tried again with another RN4X a friend bought along with me and it also was unlocked. Well I'm not complaining, but didn't hear about unlocked RN4(X) before.

I cannot unlock my bootloader for some reason now. I had applied for permission around a year and a half back, I got the permissions, unlocked the bootloader and flashed a lot of ROMS. When I flashed MIUI through fastboot, the bootloader got locked again. Now I want to try some ROMS, but I cannot unlock the bootloader. It goes all the way till 99 percentage and it then gives the message 'Current Account cannot unlock this device'. I have permissions and everything because when I go to the mi unlock site I'm directed to the download page, not to the application page. Also, when I try to bind the account to my phone in Mi Unlock status in developer options, it keeps saying 'Couldnt Verify, wait a minute or two and try again'. I've waited for a day and it still doesn't work. I only have one sim card in my phone(the one which I used to get permission) but still it keeps saying the same message again and again.
Please help!
Regards.
Hello. Though I never had the problem (was on NOS rom before I messed something and had to flash miui rom via fastboot and relocked bl, I easily reunlock again using official method like the first time).
Before unlocking, make sure your phone are locked by using cmd "fastboot oem device info" or something like that I forgot. And your phone developer option have allow oem unlocking ticked on. Make sure your phone mi account logged in and of course matched with the one on your pc/laptop. Have good usb cable, drivers, and stable internet. Also you can try unlocking using another version of miui rom (the one you used for the first unlocking).
Don't know if those helps though.
I had the same problem for almost 2 months, asked on the miui forum and nobody helped so i just unlocked it unofficially, works great! On RR N now!
Same
I have the same problem, and also I know a lot of people with it. It seems that xiaomi has banned the unlock tool I don't know why...

Yeah its not an issue with all devices, I do have colleagues who have managed to unlock it officially, but still its a problem for a lot of people.
I have the exact same problem. Stuck at 99 when trying to re unlock, on both miui 8 and 9. I didnt bother trying to unlock with developer roms, just used the method to flash twrp without bl unlock. All good now on nos 8.
I'm happy with flash twrp only without unlocking bootloader since I got root access anyway
Why are you people trying to unlock bootloader when it's not even necessary on our phone? Just look on the forums a little bit more and you won't struggle anymore trying to unlock.

This video don´t show how to lock bootloader so the essential part is missed, maybe the guy is talking about but most of users won´t understand what he says and is not reflected on the options that he is using.
If you want to lock bootloader using MiFlashTool then at time to flash a stock rom you have to check on "Clean All and Lock" option down at the right in the tool.
Locking bootloader can´t never brick device by itself, the problem is that some users tried to do it using a custom rom, a custom recovery, rooted or with a cross-firmware that was not released originally in the device and happened that after device was locked again then refuses to boot to android system so bootloader detects that some partition/s was/were altered.
If you only unlocked bootloader and you are using all stock and non rooted you can relock it without need of use mi flash but using only the typical fastboot command
Code:
fastboot oem lock
then check if it was correct with
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
BUT never try to lock it of this way if some non-stock file was flashed and currently using on your device be custom rom, custom recovery, root, logo, custom kernel, etc.

Thank you, bro!
All my doubts are clear now!
you cant lock bootloader if you firmware was originally chinese and you have changed to global..
if your firmware was global and you unlocked , yes you can lock it again using flashtool and oficial GLOBAL fastboot rom,developer or stable..:good:
Hello, I've been trying to unlock my Mi8 Lite for a while (bootloader) but it is always stuck at 50% on MiUnlock, I've tried multiple drivers and disabling driver signature in Windows 10. It never gets beyond that point and always shows a '-1' error. Did anyone encounter this or better yet solved it? I've searched many times on Google and Youtube but with no success.
I had requested an unlock from Xiaomi and disabled all my other devices from my account.
Any help would be appreciated as this has become unnecessarily complicated, Thanks!

Yes, I had the same issue and got it solved by using Mi Unlock on another PC. My main PC is using AMD Ryzen 2700 CPU, my laptop Intel Core i7-4712HQ. Wasted like 2 hours on my PC, while it worked first try on my laptop. Please note, the software told me to now wait 360 hours - it didn't unlock right away (this looks like expected behavior).

You can flash fastboot ROM and set to clean all and lock, then the bootloader will be locked by a script from fastboot ROM

Once i unlocked the bootloader, after i set a new password and fp it just kept saying that i need to enter my password every 0 hours. Tbh it did warn me when i accepted the oem unlocking that security features like fp, face recognision and find device will be disabled. So here is the question, is there any way at all to lock the bootloader without factory resetting?
P.S. : I have flashed twrp and miui 12, because i destroyed the miui 11 [:
It took 28 days an a number of fails an misstarts. My hardest cellphone to unlock boot loader ever.
I finally had success with a guy off youtube an waited 168hrs.

Can't talk about other, but as a Linux user the only solution I found was xiaomitool V2
Counter-example here: with an European v1.0.4.0 stock ROM, I was able to unlock the bootloader after the customary 7 days delay with the regular Mi Unlock tool. Seems YMMV.

Well, I got about 21 days on Global Nfc then I try it again after 2 days Then Got only 92 hours.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader under Linux? I tried to install a Windows VM and set up USB pass through to use the tool but my computer is to poorly spec'd to run a VM. During the unlock process is the connected as a USB device or does it present as a serial port?
You must do it under windows unfortunately.
Send an email to Xiaomi and put some pressure on them to develop a linux tool or simply allow bootloader unlock using fastboot.

I just found this bootloader extremely difficult to unlock. Every other Xiaomi device I've had it has been about a week.
I got 168 hours for my bootloader unlock. I assume I can continue using my device and then use the unlock tool again in a week for a successful unlock?
Anybody? I have never had a device with MIUI so the bootloader unlocking seems strange.

Confusing thread, but please read the existing threads on this topic as there are a few.
You need to SIM unlock the phone before you can unlock its bootloader.
If you have the T-Mobile variant, check this thread to see if they can SIM unlock your phone:
[CLOSED][T-Mobile USA] Free SIM Unlocking Service - [OnePlus/Samsung/Google/LG/Moto]
Hello XDA, I am back at it again with the free T-Mobile network unlocks. Yep, you heard that right... 100% FREE. This service will allow you to go into your Settings and perform a network unlock. I've been doing this for over 3 years now with...

Found a chink in the armor... Just enabled OEM unlocking after 11 update...
I haven't got a lot of time to get this out before heading out on a job, so here's the nitty gritty. A few days ago I flashed over "OnePlus_Nord_N10_5G_Metro_by_T-Mobile_OxygenOS_10.5.8" to get a clean start. I then allowed 10.5.14 to install...
forum.xda-developers.com
No need to reboot, once you finish that, going into Developer options should allow you to set OEM Unlocking to whatever you want. Easy peasy.
If it is from T-Mobile, you'll need to go into bootloader to get the serial, unlock code, and IMEI to submit a ticket to Oneplus for an Unlock Token and then wait a week to get it.
You can skip all of that if it's direct from OnePlus - just toggle OEM unlocking in developer options then go into bootloader mode and 'fastboot oem unlock'.
Hello,
After receiving my new Motorola x40 I realized that I wasn't able to use my GooglePay nor did it have other language support. So I decided to unlock my x40 bootloader via https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your- device-a
It all worked. I managed to install a global rom with all the google apps and extra language support.
However, Global rom didn't allow my GooglePlay to use my cards or backup via googleOne since the flashing was unlocked. So I went to fastboot to " fastboot flashing lock". After which my cards were able to work.
After few days of using global rom I decided to go back to chinese one since I found it a bit easier to navigate.
So when I decided to go back to my old chinese rom, in "Developer Options" OEM unlocking says "Connect to the internet or contact your operator" and it is greyed out.
I tried using " fastboot flashing/oem unlock" in fastboot however it tells me that i need to unlock it in " developer options " first.
My phone has already been connected to wifi for around 90 hours on a Global rom And around a week before I transitioned from Chinese room over to global rom.
How long do I need to be connected to the internet or what operator do I need to contact to unlock my OEM again? Or maybe there is another way to unlock OEM without waiting?
Things I tried and failed:
1) Factory reset
2) Wipe/Cache reset via recovery3) "fastboot flashing/oem unlock" via bootloader
Global rom used: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/rtwo/official/RETGB/

How many days are you in this state? maybe you are closer to 7 days than I am
The toggle to unlock the bootloader is now enabled for me after 8 days. I have the Edge 40 Pro.
mine too, didn't look before, i own mine since 14 april
Ok so the theory is that once you get a global rom and "fastboot oem lock", it will act like new phone and will only unlock after 7-8 days. Guess will have to wait to test this theory out.

Any update whether you can toggle OEM Unlocking?
Also, as someone who have been using Moto phones from China for years, CN ROM is way way way better the Global ROM when it comes to features and software updates. One useful feature is the built in Motorola Wallet app where I can use my phone as keycard and transpo card.

Using TinyFastbootScript flashing the reteu rom But when I installed it I blocked the bootloader thinking that it could be opened again to my surprise I could no longer activate the box so I have to wait and see if with any update I can go back To activate that option To activate that option

You won't be able to unlock the bootloader twice, impossible it's done by design by motorola.
You can only unlock your bootloader once

does this mean the phone that went through unlock\lock of the BL will never get a firmware update (whether OTA or manual)?

It's possible that we won't get OTA, only will know for sure in the future, i'm in the same situation.
But you can always manually update your firmware with rescue tool or through ADB as long it's the official firmware. You don't need a unlocked bootloader for that

This gives hope. Can you link me to flashing through adb? So far have only seen fastboot and magisk.

I think this method would work:
I screwed up...moto X40 bricked / Any EDL mode available?
Hi guys sadly I completely softbricked my motorola X40 phone i'm a idiot. I flashed to a wrong firmware file (edge 30 pro) and re-locked bootloader then found it phone doesn't properly boot anymore. I can boot it in fastboot mode but flashing in...

But I think this will erase all your data so it's not a real "upgrade firmware" method
I also found out there is an "software update" in the lenovo rescue tool
Maybe it's worth the shot to try this out too, but for me it's says I have the latest firmware already (which is correct) so I can't test it out right now.
