Hi guys, I have received my mi5 with global rom. I don't know to update to the chinese rom to unlock the bootloader. Thx.
You need to request on miui site with your mi account. Follow the guide there to unlock the bootloader after your account is approved.

Hey guys,
Sold my P2XL and am waiting to buy this thing. How long do we normally wait for an international device? Global rom? I'm contemplating buying the CN version and flashing the UK software over it once it becomes available, instead of waiting for the international hardware.
Thanks!
I'm waiting on global too. Don't want to have to unlock bootloader.

So, all the versions will come with locked bootloaders chinese/global roms. How are they unlockable?? Do we have to get the key from Xiaomi?
Normal xiaomi unlocking procedure using the unlocking tool. With my global xiaomi mi mix 2 (bought in Spain Amazon xiaomi store) I even had to use Chinese VPN to unlock it

Wow, that really sucks, the good old days seem in the past where you could plug it in and unlock it with the PC with command line tools.
Has anyone received the Mi Mix 3 and tested unlocking the bootloader yet? Was looking at ordering today. My Mi Mix came with the bootloader unlocked however does not appear to be an option on the selling sites.
Mix 3 is to be released in Taiwan at the end of Nov or early Dec, it'll be the global version. Don't know about other markets.
I ordered mine from geekbuying and hopefully will be mailed soon... I thought it was released 11/1/2018... That's weird...

Mine has been despatched from mi store on AliExpress, Some phones now unlock instantly, not sure how this is working. I've downloaded the program, only for Windows though which could be tricky for me. Maybe the Chinese ones can be unlocked instantly but not global. One person was trying to unlock his phone and managed it in 1 minute, so I explained to someone with mi maax global and it didn't work for him,
I think unlocking is account related, pretty sure you're now only allowed to unlock 1 phone per month.

yes,Unlocking and account association。 Previously MIX2 has been unlocked, it takes 72 hours, now the binding device can solve BL
If you buy from Gearbest/Aliexpress a lot of the time you'll get a vendor ROM therefore an unlocked bootloader.

Yes answered wrong question,. I have bought Chinese version, does it have to be released in you're country for you to buy it? Is a global version not good enough, that should be available in a few weeks.
I'm looking at an OP8 IN2010 with Global Rom installed. I need to know if this combo is rootable or not. Thanks.

It's the same for every regional version, you just need to use fastboot and enter the command "fastboot oem unlock"
If you're still a beginner I recommend you watch videos of how to do that. But if you don't have time here is an all in one tool : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8/how-to/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t4103511
I have a OnePlus 6 (Intl version) before, I have unlocked bootloader on that. Just want to make sure the CN version can unlock bootloader easily before I buy one.

Hello,
I'm using pixel 3 in a while then I think about flashing custom rom. But I can't do it because my ORM unlocking is in grey and I can't turn it on. when I checked the IMEI number in google site I noticed that my Pixel is a US VZ variant, I bought it from a online store a year ago. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks in advance

what should I do
Hi,
I've recently purchased a Xiaomi 12 in Germany and wish to flash the official Indonesia ROM in order to enable call recording.
I read that unlocking the bootloader may lead to security limitations such as disabling usage of certain features and/or apps. This is from miuirom.org:
After unlocking the bootloader, you will not receive OTA updates. Face and fingerprint phone unlocking will become unavailable, Xiaomi Find Device service, Google Pay e-payment system and some other features will be disabled

Had anyone tried unlocking and can confirm any such limitations?
Thanks
If you have a Global version, model 2201123G, you can re-lock the bootloader with any version of stock rom, except Cn.
Without locking the bootloader the play store will not be certified, that's all.
Could try a Xiaomi Eu rom(call recorder) where everything works with the bootloader unlocked.
