Ofcourse. Better have a backup before you attempt unlocking as you wouldn't get any prompt at 99%.

Requested to unlock yesterday. Today tried to unlock, it said wait 152 hours which is 6.3 days. I guess they decreased the wait time to 1 week. Some people unlocked within 5/6 days.

Same here, unlocked in 7 days.

I was kind of lucky on this. I only had to wait 7 days.

Asked for 168 days (7 days)

Xiaomi doesn't want us to unlock it for security reasons that's why all these measures which put us off but this was not the case a couple of years back when they were the only company offering the warranty even if the device was rooted.
Guess unauthorised resellers really are a pain..

me too......No love for us on VZW
I hate Verizon. Why does their cell service have to be so good. I'm on unlimited data or else I would switch. What does this have to do with root? I have this phone and I want root. I wish I knew how to do things like this. I can follow other peoples methods but I wish I knew how so I could contribute.
I had to pull the plug on my Note Edge yesterday. I'm tired of the poor performance and seeming lack of interest from Samsung. It may change soon, but I was itching to move on so I did. I jumped on the LG V10 black Friday special from verizon. I could have went with the Note 5, but after four generations of Samsung (S4, Note 3, Note 4, Note Edge) I would like to try something different. I am still keeping my pledge in for root on the Note series!

You successfully rooted you Verizon Note Edge doing this? You sure?
"Install Stock Samsung based FW with stock bootloader etc...
Install latest TWRP"
Install latest TWRP This is where we stop. If you can figure out how to get TWRP installed (aka unlocking the bootloader) let me know.

360 hours ? WTF ?

Is there a way to bypass the waiting time ?
Last time i unlock bootloader, it was on Mi Max 2, 72 hours to wait.
Xiaomi is ridiculous.
Redmi Note 5 Global, SD636.
Wrong forum. This is SD625, Redmi 5 Plus.
Note 5, 5 Plus, waiting problem is the same.

It depends in the country/area you live, i've unlocked my phone before in less than a day(permission req at night & next morning i got my permission), i'm using the stock cable that came with my Redmi 5 Plus. No 99% stuck, 1 try and poop! 100% success.

Coz in my previous encounters with mi note 3 and note 4 i waited for one week...
but this time i didint even applied for bootloader unlock.. neither did bind my account..
was curious so entered fastboot mode and used latest miunlock tool.. after the initial login process it unlocked with in seconds..
Its really strange.. but glad it allowed to unlock bootloader without any waiting whatsoever...
ha ha ha.... this is my first xiaomi, and they make me waste my 360 hours to wait just to unlock bootloader..... no more! never buy xiaomi again. I am may be one voice, butfor those who did not buy xiaomi product; think again.... now they implement anti roll back too.... can not downgrade rom. May be tomorrow they will implement DO NOT TOUCH xiaomi, as it may brick the unit :: LOL::
who cares most unlocked is only for os modifications and games i also tried all possible ways to unlock without wait with no luck. anyway flashed beta miui 10 all works fine i enjoy this phone fast and cheap so yes wait timer reset after flash to 320 more hours to go.

The only way you get instant unlock (that only for the fortunate few) is when you have a Mi account already and were using some other Xioami phone connected to that. Then it recognises you as a genuine owner of POCO F1 and allows the unlock. Otherwise, wait for 72 hours.
It's just 3 days man the MI 8 guys have to wait 2 weeks lel

Log out of your current/old Mi Account.
Create a new Mi account (also necessary to associate a phone number with it) and log in with it.
Enable mobile data but disable wifi.
Go to developer options and go to Mi Unlock Status.
It will try to associate your new account with this device. Wait for it and it will give a toast notification that successfully linked.
Go back to developer options.
Enable OEM unlocking.
Press back button.
Click on developer options again and check if OEM unlocking is enabled or disabled.
If disabled, enable it again and repeat step 6 to step 9 till it asks you for your Lockscreen PIN/password.
After you enter PIN/Password, OEM unlocking will stay enabled.
Now try to unlock the bootloader using miunlock tool with new account. Your wait time should be reduced to 72 hours.

There is nothing to explain or doing anything special. When you add the F1 to your existing account, it should immediately allow you to unlock the bootloader. I have not heard of 360 hours. It was about three months to start with and then was gradually reduced by Xioami to 72 hrs.

The product head for Poco F1 Jai Mani said this on Twitter:
" We listened to your feedback on the bootloader unlock issue and have updated the policy for the @PocophoneGlobal F1. Most users should now be able to unlock within 3 days.
Please apply let us know if you are still facing problems
— Jai Mani (@jaimani) September 4, 2018"
Note it says "most users" and not all. So you and some others like you may be the unfortunate ones. Why it happens to you and some others, only Xiaomi alone can tell.
I just requested mine this week for my Mi 8 as I want to test (finally) Xiaomi.eu's MIUI port.
And all by my ignorance that I could do it in less than a month of starting to use it (November 18) but no... For some reason I never connected this particular server, which is different from Mi Cloud, etc. and now I have to wait two weeks and a day to have the approval...

[RANT] Very angry on Xiaomi!

I am very angry on Xiaomi. Waiting 360 hours for unlock, even after that not working - I am stuck on "Use your device a bit more" for about 7 additional days now. What a ****ty company policy. I don't like you, you make me very angry!
Buy Applel next time
@sackgnom
The first time I also waited and it was extended again. I had not used the phone but just waited for the unlock. but have noticed if the tetefon a certain time used this affects the activation.
in the other devices, I just surfed the internet in the evening (WLAN without SIM) and has always worked immediately! use your Xiaomi more often than just wait, so go around with it a bit

You still have to wait for the hours, but this version allegedly won't extend the wait time even if you don't use it.
I waited for 7 days to unlock, barely used my phone and did not get an extension.

Tell me 1, just one phone brand that don't steal data.
Of course its easy to blame xiaomi for waiting that time to unlock. In fact there are getting less devices on the market which can be unlocked at all.
Unlocking bootloader means also loosing warranty. Imagine you turn on your new phone, unlocking it and speaker is not working, display flickering,
camera faulty. AFTERWARDS. this is where the real trouble begins. Even if I can't confirm that is the main reason for the wait time, it makes sense and will lower the
risks also on your side.
man, stop b*ching. Try unlocking Huawei

Nop..
No it's not about stealing data. It's about you using the device for 7 days before unlocking it. It's due to Chinese versions being flashed global and being sold in the USA as oem global devices. This isn't to Target customers it's about selling phones in the USA that aren't legit global phones. Just stay logged in on that device do not use a different account like I have 2 mi accounts don't switch it resets the timer. Don't try and trick there system it won't work. Just wait 7 days you'll get unlocked.

There is solution for unlocking boot loader but I don't think you will try. Because the process I am going to tell will be far difficult than waiting 168hrs.
If you still want to unlock boot loader I want to tell you that you will loose your installed ROM but don't worry if you wish I will also tell how to get the same stock ROM.

The main work for bypass the waiting time is very dangerous.
Sorry but the bypass technique is not applicable for all kinds of devices.
It is real that it will brick your device if it is not done properly and may not be right thing to do.
they want you to use the device for at least 7 days bah tu~
dont worry.. play around a bit more

Trying to mess with time might cause your timer to be reset over and over again. Please be patient. One week is not too long considering you'll probably have the phone for years after that.
