Hello guys, just bought the phone a couple of days ago and want root it so i tried to unlock the bootloader and says 288 hours to go, the question is:
Is real 288 hours or can be unlocked between the 288 hours or 12 days?, any experience?.
Thanks in advance.

bro the timer says 288 hours means you have to wait for 288 hours exact , better to set a reminder and try unlocking after that meanwhile remember that you don't have to log out the account else the time will reset.

I've made SEVERAL unlock attempts following the guides on this forum, using the hermes unlocker app on my SD card. The problem is, none of the unlocks have worked. Now, when I boot it it says:
You have tried 76 times, please wait until timeout....

Would it be worth going to Ebay, and buying an unlock code, or will I need to wait 3 months before entering? How much time gets added with each attempt?

I am using it on the Treo/Cheetah, I eventually moved on to attempting unlocks for the hermes, because after the Treo unlocks failed, I figured that there was nothing to lose, as the Cheetah is apparently a repackaged Hermes by my understanding.
More importantly, how long is the timeout?

Have no idea, normally the device locks up after 5 attempts..
The duration of the timeout is unknown to me, never encountered it personally.
You tried:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511763 , and that should normally work..
UNLESS you started the unlocker in step 3, and didn't wait for the other steps to complete..

I was unable to complete those steps, as I would get a crash every time I ran it past step 2. (XP SP3)
I'll try it on my 7 based machine now.

I completed those steps again, but it didn't work, and now it shows 86 attempts. :/

Since it's locked I think the whole exercise became pointless..
Maybe(hopefully) the creator of the patched radio could help you in a better way.

If not, I'm probably going to ebay it to buy a better phone. I got it at a great price:
I bought it for $28 on ebay as a "For Parts" phone, the owner listed it as a bad ROM upgrade, and that it was "bricked. I bought it, fixed it.
THe ebay for $90 to $110
Hi Guys,
I have a big problem
I got a Motorola Milestone and try to unlock phone with a code. So... I've tried sometimes (with a codes that I bought from the internet) and got the message "Phone Subsidy Locked".
I read about leave the phone turn ON for 1 or 2 hours and the screen with input text field shows up again, but I had no success after 8 hours waiting.
Any ideas?
Ty,
Fatala

Good luck
Motorola Milestone is not developed by HTC but perhaps keep reading in bootloader's decryption
So, I requested to unlock bootloader and the waiting time is 711 (?!?!) hours which is literally 1 month of waiting time. This time starts counting since I first attempted to unlock the bootloader or when I first created my MI account or something. Thanks in advance.
Yesterday I unlocked mine.
It did it straight away. No wait time.
I have had many Xiaomi phones in the past and my account has unlock approval from before, not sure if that makes a difference.
When you received SMS message from Xiaomi: 'You've been granted the permission to unlock your device...'
mine was 720 hours... i already had an unlock approval from my mi mix original.. i can't do mine until october.

I bought my phone is May, and i had to wait 360 hr,2 weeks.
It seems Xiaomi is extending the unlock time...maybe due to bloatware from resellers...
I had 360hrs waiting time on my first MiMix2S.
I also had it on the second one with the same account and even had to use another PC to unlock it. Really not very user friendly behaviour of Xiaomi.
They also extended the waiting time from 360 to 720hrs. Ridiculous, but still better than Huawei. They won't ever let you unlock your bootloader on their new devices which I think is crazy and completely against the open source idea.
If you can`t wait, you can borrow someone`s account that donot need to wait hours and hours.
Only if someone is that kind.
remember donot sync others account
I just got my Mi Mix 3 - China rom
I ordered it about 2 weeks ago and previously had a mi mix 2, once i ordered the mix 3 i decided to unlock my mi mix 2 to tryout some custom ROMs.
Now when i try to unlock my mi mix 3 it says i need to wait a minimum of 30 days. If i wait the 30 days will i still need to wait the 1 month wait time they seem to make mi mix 3 uses wait to unlock the BL? or will it just be 30 days.
If it is going to take 60 days is it possible to get around this somehow? my current Phone number is linked to the account but if it would be faster to remove that some how and link it to a new account to only get the 30 day wait time?
I was annoyed at the idea of waiting 30 days so 60 days is painful.
Thanks
(if this is in the wrong place please let me know)

It's only 72 hours wait time for unlock bootloader, probably 30 days cause Xiaomi will probably think you're up to something.
just set up a new account and do the process again

72 was painful for my Mix 1 and Mix 3. I'd have returned the phone if I had to stay stock for 30 days.

Managed to get it working, I make a new account, then logged into the old account and changed the linked phone number to an old phone number (You can use a family members) then you need to remove the device from that account, this is all done via the mi cloud website and is quite explanatory.
then yo need to make a new account link your device (on the device under dev options) and then add your phone number to your new account via the mi cloud website.
If the website says your number had been used to recently u can use both variants of your global number ( so in the uk +44 followed by 11 numbers and +44 followed by 10 numbers both work)
try the unlock tool and it should work
I don't know if anyone else will have this problem so feel free to remove this if its not useful
When did the unlocking of the Xiaomi's bootloader change to needing to use the Unlock Tool and wait time ? I bought an MiA1 a few years ago and unlocked it using the ADB method , instant and simple . But i just switched to the Poco X3 NFC and now find i have to wait a week using this new method . My week ends tonight so hopefully i can unlock it then , but i am just curious as to when this all changed .
I also had a Mi A1 and I confirm that.
But the key, IMHO, is the Mi A1 wasn't equiped with MIUI ROM but with a Google Android One ROM and this is a huge difference !
It's been a long time since Xiaomi added wait time to unlock (can't remember though when it first occured). The strange thing is that it varies from model to another. Poco X3 is 168 hrs, others can be 360 hrs and sometimes it decreases from 720 to 360 has time passes...
There was a way to bypass using an old Mi Unlock software or an unofficial one but now it has been patched.
Waiting eagerly for my new Poco X3 to be unlocked (6 days to go)
I miss the Android One ROM and its monthly updates

To add: can also be 0 second unlock time
You're right
i got 14days unlock time
It's been a process and a half besides waiting the 7 days ( which was no great problem ) but once unlocked and rebooted i got a message saying that i had to login to my Mi account to proceed , but my problem was that i used Facebook to login to the account that was bound to the phone and as a result i had forgotten the password and thus i couldnt change the password once i accessed my account with FB. Took me some toing and froing to change the password but eventually i got it done . Now onto rooting
