reduce the unlock time from 720 hours to less - Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Well, I had other unlocking hours 553 almost every day I ran the unlock. Today before doing this I went into the mi cloud and I clicked on find device device while I opened the unlock tool and waited to go into fastboot running so see other unlocking hours 148 !!! Did I have to do the first time tracking and maybe unlock immediately?
* Consider once the bind of the device otherwise every time you write from the beginning unlock tool 720

Yes! Me too! only 126 hours remaining !!

I think Xiaomi changed something in the policy yesterday, many people have been discounted their unlocking times like 360 hrs or so. Still a long wait but good news anyway.

Yes! My phone is unlocked

Wow.. that is something new... I shall check my account.. but.. maybe wait till next week.. need the phone for travel for a bit...

I had 720hours on the brand new Redmi Note 5, but when I checked it today it read 261 hours - only 5 days after purchase. So, I think they have reduced the wait time from 30days(720hours) to 15days (360hours)

Ok guy's now what is next steps. Download China dev rom install via phone updater from 3 dots. It is old method but maybe again working u will get less 120h

Yeah me too get reduce from 720 to 1xx hours. 4 days more... Unlocking my Mi 8 Explorer Edition (Codename: ursa)

It does not work. Install Dev China via updater but time does not reduce more (71 hours).

I don't know it's working now, but 3 days ago I unlocked
bootloader immediately.
Without this 'feature' I would have to wait another 300h (I started with 720h).
Step by step what I did.
1) I turn off my Mi 8 (Global edition) and go into Fastboot mode.
2) Connect phone to PC.
3) Open Mi Unlock, log in (don't click the Unlock button)
4) Open Mi Cloud website, log in, open Find Device and choose my Mi 8.
5) Mi 8 cannot be find (because it's off), but I see some China area.
6) Keep this website active, don't close/go another site.
7) Now click the Unlock button in Mi Unlock app.
8) Confirm warning message x 2.
9) Device is unlocked.

Nope! Didn't do a thing.

Someone has vip account can unlock any Mi phone immediately. No need added account to phone, no need binding, but still need to use (old version) Mi Ublocker

So let the topic said how long does it take for you to unlock your bootloader after getting sms confirmation for unlocking permission in other words how many days after you got sms confirmation was the mi unlock tool stuck in 50% device verification error (the mi account in the device was not the same)
Also is there any tip to hasten the process......

I got permission through sms in 3 days..
but I tried everyday unlock process, and I can confirm that after 7 days ( today) , i got 100% success in unlocking bootloader.
Got permission after 2 days, unlocked the same day. It didn't work with global stable, so I switched to global developer, and that worked instantly.
7 days, unlocked officially .
I was on the verge of unlocking by unofficial method ....
I kindda installed the MIFlash software and the drivers that come along with it (Now my windows 8 shows a Test Mode message on the bottom right ) and it unlocked successfully...officially..
So, I can't say whether it was the time per say OR the installation of Drivers that unlocked my device. However, i would really suggest installing MiFlash to get the Xiaomi drivers if the software is stuck at 50% error...Cheers!
Got permission in 3 days , Unlocked after a week.

Hi people, I had applied long ago for this. Confirmation sms came just the next day, but process always stuck at 50% progress (A/C logged in to device is different than A/C in MiUnlock Tool, it says.)
I have tried, as advised by many, in Global Stable, Global Dev and even tried China Dev today. (Still nothing.) Please suggest how to unlock, as the official unlock never worked for me as well.

Maybe you should login your verified account into your device before entering fastboot for unlocking.

I never received an e-mail or sms. Three or four days after I applied for permissions I just open the Mi Unlock program and I had permissions.

Right. I'd like to mod the phone. Really, I don't like a phone being stock. There're lots of thing rooted phone could do. Sometimes it's good to change the appearance of a phone.

Just install the latest China dev rom (through updater) and you will be able to unlock with MI unlock.

how to unlock bootloader if u are getting 86012 error and stuck at 99%

If u have got the unlock permission by sms but not able to bind then follow the instructions:
1) First goto mi bootloader by holding volume button and power button.
2) connect your phone to windows laptop
3) Goto device manager and under connected devices search for Android device... Then update the driver and now u can see it is updated to Xiaomi.
4) Use a older version of mi flash tool.
5) This will unlock your device
not working bro, on 86012 error
Where exactly are u stuck? U don't have to bind the account. Older version of mi flash tool doesn't​require it
Is it really safe to use an old version of the unlocker for the note 4 though?

Yes I guess. The newer version is just made to be compatible with windows 10 and also account binding is compulsory. So if u want to still use new version of unlock tool then good luck as u might have to wait for days, months ,year's for it to sync and bind. Haha

http://xiaomitips.com/download/mi-flash-unlock-tool/ check out this site and download the tool
When I got the permission to unlock the bootloader, I didn't have time to do so. Did it after 20 days or so, and got the "86012some Chinese letters)" error. Tried everything:
1. new Unlock tool and old unlock tool.
2. Sign out from Account and sign in again.
3. Turn off find device and then turn it on again.
4. Reset the phone.
5. Updated.
And pretty much everything I could find on youtube and forums.
And then tried the last thing.
Wait for 5-10 days.
I didn't even bothered binding the Account again for 10 days.
Then attempted just by turning on 'oem unlock', 'USB debugging', 'USB debugging security. Didn't even touched the bind Account thing.
Attempted the unlock and voila, it worked.
I've unlocked 3 phones in the same way, with the latest unlock tool, without binding, each one of them showed the same error. And tried all of the above steps 1 to 5 in two of the phones. Didn't bother doing the update for third phone. And the same steps worked for each one.
Don't know what it is? But its successful everytime. Will try on more and will tell.
I had facing the same issue too, i just wait for 7 days and did nothing since the first failed one.
And after 7 days, today i tried the same way and unlocked.

Yo, doesn't matter you still have the message or not.
You got the permissions and it's failing to unlock bootloader every time you try, right?
DL fly VPN from Playstore and run the app, choose shanghai server and go to additional settings > ki unlock status > you'll see an option like bound mi account, tap it and ignore if you get any errors.
Next, do no try everyday, just wait few days, like 5-7 days and try unlocking at the 5th day. Use latest unlock tool.
Every mi users who had unlocked their bootloader faced the same issue, heck even 21 days. I got mine unlocked after 10 days lol
So, do what I said and wait few days, you'll surely get your phone unlocked! :good:

Couldn't unlock. After 72 hours of trying to unlock

After 72 hours required by the Xiaomi tool. It is still not possible to unlock the bootloader of my Pocophone F1. I'm with find device enabled, sync enabled, OEM unlock enabled, USB debugging enabled and Mi account connected. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please tell me.
PS: My ROM is MIUI 10 Global Beta v8.12.7
That's weird. Have you tried unlocking when the 72 hours weren't over yet? Because if you try to it should show the amount of hours remaining. If it never showed that while trying to unlock within the 72h period it might be another problem. Maybe you can run the chinese text trough google translate, with a tool that converts an image to text (don't know of any but they probably exist).

Register your device phone number first from developer options. That might solve it.
In the new version of Mi Unlock says in English that I need to use my device for a few more days to be able to unlock the bootloader. But it does not say exactly how long, slowly I'm trying.

Try rebooting a few times. Add a fingerprint if you haven't already. Sync with Mi Cloud every time after you reboot. These things could add to your "usage score".

You are supposed to use the phone normally after making the request for bootloader unlock. Please also note that you should be logged into your mi account in your phone all the time. If you do that and also do a few syncs as suggested by another member, you are sure to get approved. There is no other way, you have to wait.

I reverted to my old phone after I made the unlock bootloader request and I was not logged in to my Mi account the whole time. I switched on the Poco about 2 weeks later and was able to unlock the bootloader with no problems. The trick for the OP is to not only register your email with your Mi account but also your phone number through settings.
I think that's what he is missing.

I'm pretty sure that's what he is missing. Solid advice.
If the above methods don't work, then just factory reset your device and repeat the steps! I'm sure it'll work
Had the same problem.
Unbounded my account and loged in again on the phone.
Now the tool works and i'm unlocked...
Try toggling off the OEM Unlock setting then toggle it on again.
I'm facing the same problem, I requested for unlock last weekend, tried yesterday to unlock (as well over the 72 hours) & was notified that I need to try again in 1 day. I also tried the various suggestions here, but nothing helped/worked.

If it is asking you to wait for a day? I suggest to wait for a day, bottomline is there is no alternate to it, as far as I saw, go step by step, shall wait and see, should work fine
Best to insert the sim card to poco phone and using it for there days after bootloader unlock applied.

In theory you should be OK to unlock the phone, otherwise at this point, you would get that error now and not see the wait 30 days to unlock message.
However those people that have done the same as you and posted on here have used the test point method to boot into EDL mode and then flash via an authorised account. I'm not aware that anyway has had the patience to wait the 30 days to see if they can unlock.

I have exactly the same experience with your device last 2 months ago. I just got lucky because it was last days of the month 29th day. Tried to unlock again the on the 1st day of the the next month and unlocking bootloader was successful.
You can still unlock it using the same mi account.
Flashed again indian ROM thru fastboot but just choose clean all.

That message is just because you can only unlock one phone a month with a standard MIUI account.
Because you've already unlocked a phone this month you'll see that message for any phone you try and unlock before 1st November

For your case yes.
As mentioned above also by other senior member.
If you flashed it and bricked it this October then By November try to unlock it again and hopefully unlocking will be successfull. Then flash again with your preferred rom.

For me also this is happened two days before you need to wait for 30 days or you need to EDL testpoint method. I fixed by EDL testpoint method there is one Russian guy with authorized MI account he did it for $15.

Actually after the bootloader unlock I never signed in with any Mi account. What I mean to say is that after that one time I never messed with the Mi account at all.
And I realllllllyyy dont want to disassemble my new phone . So im gonna take the chance
Ok.. so this is what happened to me some days ago..
•Use old miUnlock tool(to bypass 30days timer)
• Use "MiFlash tool pro" to flash firmware. (you don't need to go in EDL mode because it flashes from fastboot mode.)
Keep in mind do not select 'Clean and lock again' xD
