Poco F1 Bootloader Unlock discussion

SEE EDIT 2
So Xiaomi has started implementing a new policy whereby you need to wait 1440 hours before unlocking your bootloader. That translates to a massive 2 months. This is just ridiculous.
Many people with Poco F1 have reported this issue. Some people tried a different version of Mi unlock tool and their time was halved to 720 hours(1 month) but even that is ridiculous. I don't recommend this because spamming mi servers may lead to further problems.
How has your experience been with the bootloader unlock process. How many hours is the waiting period? If someone discovers any un official method, do post that as well.

If you want to help the community, please post these info on SUCCESSFUL bootloader unlock.

Edit 2
There was a lot of furore over this issue. A few tech websites published this issue, reddit roasted them over it and Twitter users also kept asking questions from Jai Mani and Manu Kumar Jain.
They listened. You should be able to unlock Poco F1 in 3 days now. But other Xiaomi phones may face upto 2 months waiting time and thats pathetic.

This waiting period shaningan by Xiaomi is going to affect Custom ROM/Kernel development. 30/60 days are enough for any developer to move on and same applies for any flashaholic user.

Same problem
I used an old id it was 1440
Then a newnly created one it became 720
I dont know why the **** they are playing with us

Apparently, the phones can only be unlocked using the codes provided by Xiaomi. I remember Sony doing something like this as well.

That's a load of BS! Xiaomi needs to knock this off!
I was looking at buying one of these, but I will no longer if this is how Xiaomi treats it's customers...

Mine got increased from 360 hours to 720 hours after several tries :crying:

This should be a warning to users. 360 hours seems like a blessing now. If you get 360 hours, be happy and wait it out. Don't keep trying and get it 'upgraded' to 720 hours or 1440 hours.

The issue has been raised by XDA. Hoping to get an answer from Xiaomi soon.

got 720 hours with the latest mi unlock

the only thing i hate about xiaomi. oh yes and the miui.

You can unlock your bootloader and it will not void your warranty.

I think u follow the step that describe in youtube video
Then try to unlock
Dont update your phone at first.
If unlock not possible in your case go to lg v30 section and grab the unlock.bin file from bootloader unlock thread and follow the step for lg v30 .may be good luck for u

Couldnt unlock says 720 hours wait
I tried many versions but same wait is showing up, guess we'll have to discover an unofficial method now.

But when i go to
Http://unlock.update.miui.com

Tested and everything works as expected.

Thank to for your answer.
Can you send a screen shot of what you get after you click on unlock now?
Because i get a sort of Chinese error message

HELP! mi account Locked!

Hello guys, i've buyed a mi note 3 to a guy, the cellphone was appearing a error with find phone or something like that.
I updated him in hope that the error was fixed, but to my surprise the phone was linked to another Account, is there something i could do to remove this account and use the phone? or i was just played fool?
Thanx for the attention!

Try contacting xiaomi, but probably there's no way to fix that other tham xiaomi supportl

i,'ve send them an email, just waiting, no response yet.

The phone was link to a previous account you can't do anything legally correct now. If you have unlocked bootloader you can use a custom rom or use ramdon programm to pass the security part but they aren't for free.

I'm equally disappointed about Google because "Android One" is their brand, so they should make sure that all "Android One" devices are up to fking date like their Pixels and ...working. Should be possible with those handful "Android One" models out there, no?

lol
People in Xiaomi are comically inept

just think about all of their users / customers who have no idea about what are ADB, EDL,TWRP, etc etc...who don't know how to change active partition or reflash the entire phone....in other words, people who expect the phone they paid for to actually work.
I bought android one phone out of curiosity. I am most definitely never going to buy chinese crap again

look...thanks for the effort and attempt to help...but I simply don't care any more. I am on 11.0.7 and spent countless hours in the past months fixing and fighting errors that morons from Xiaomi should have fixed before they rolled out any update. Keeping this phone until the battery starts failing, then it goes straight to the trash bin. As someone said before...f**k Xiaomi.

We'll see if it still lags after a few days of usage.

[Help] Poco X3 Bootloader Unlock (Indian Variant)

Hello,
I’ve an issue unlocking the POCO X3 Bootloader. Please help if you can.
Below are the device details:
• Model – Xiaomi POCO X3
• MIUI Version – 12.0.2
• Android Version – 10
Below are the things I have done:
• Setup Mi account with my SIM Card option
• Turned on all Sync options available – Notes, Contacts etc
• ‘Find my Device’ is also working
• Mi account is successfully added to the device from Mi Unlock Status page
• OEM Unlocking & USB Debugging, USB Debugging (Security settings), Install via USB.. these options are enabled in Developer settings
• After this on connecting the app to Mi unlock tool, I’m able to sign into the Mi tool, after clicking on unlock, it goes to 99% and then throws this error.. couldn't unlock please add your account in miui settings
• I have also tried factory reset, and I have also tried making another Mi account with another SIM card.. the situation is still the same.
Please advise!

Under developer options there is a section where you need to add you Mi account details. Have you done that?

There isn't an Indian variant for POCO 3 NFC yours is Poco X3, it's another phone.... Sorry

Are you sure you did it? It is 2 options below the OEM unlock option in Developer section. You have to use mobile data only and you have to receive an ”your account is bond to your device” (or something like this) message.

Welcome to the club. Have been facing the same issue since date of purchase (2weeks now). And you are not alone , almost everyone I know with Indian variant has the same issue. Waiting for poco to fix this. I've tweeted them about it, I suggest you do the same

I was waiting for someone to create a thread. I am also facing the same issue while following all the steps and it saying "Added successfully. Mi Account is associated with this device now.".
Mi Unlock Tool throws an error at 99% and complaints the device isn't bound to my Mi Account.
Also, one more interesting thing I have observed is that instead of a device name in Mi Cloud like "Redmi 5", it shows "M2007 J20CI" which is not Poco X3 ?
I have tweeted ( twitter.com/vasanthdevelop/status/1318798136987430913 ) to Poco about allowing us to unlock the bootloader and releasing the kernel sources.

i am also having the same issue device is added sucessfully to mi account over mobile data but mi ulock tool gets stuck at 99% saying bind your mi account to device.

Poco X3 NFC aka surya model number is M2007J20CG. On the other hand the Indiana varient aka karna model number is correctly M2007J20CI. On my international model it also displays my model number instead of device name in MI Cloud so that is not the issue I think.

Try use mi unlock tool mod version or old version.

There is a bug with trying to unlock Karna (indian version)'s bootloader.
A fix is apparently coming, I'd suggest you join the poco x3 official group on Telegram, and you should be able to get updates.

I tried joining a Poco X3 Telegram group where they just made fun that I couldn't unlock the bootloader ? is there another group? Could you give me the link to join the group? ?

This is now resolved I believe

Yes karna bootloader bug seems to be fixed
My karna got instant unlock 2 days back (probably because I tried to bind account almost a month back)

? Congratulations! I was wondering, even if I unlocked my bootloader now. We don't have many ?* stable (daily-driver) custom ROMs that work with Karna.

Still getting this error on Indian variant purchased last month. Any suggestions guys?

I also still can't unlock it. Did you unlock? I'm on latest 12.0.5.0 and have same error. Is Xiaomi/Poco aware of that problem? Did they respond somehow to it? Somone mentioned any reason? They promised launch day kernel source realase (another story) but what is the use of it bootloader is locked? Pathetic
We should spam this people to make themb do something with that
