Hello,
I got a new xiaomi poco and i'd like to unlock the bootloader. However a sim card is needed. I do have an old, deactivated sim card lying around. The phone does detect it but it doesn't recieve any signal and i can enter the xiaomi login menu (impossible without SIM). Has anyone tried unlocking the bootloader with such a card? Was it successful?
Thanks in advance

Hello, I got the phone from a week, but I managed to lock the second slot, and when I put a sim card in, it asks for network unlock sim code.
I know there are a lot ot threads here, but I didn't found something that works for this model. I can use ADB, Terminal, my phone is rooted, so if you give me a clues how to unlock it, I will be very grateful.
i had followed the instructions and the bootloader was a success so was the sim unlock. but when i rebooted my phone, i was not prompt about entering a pin or puk code. i still get sim error message, im using an at&t sim card and nothing is working. can someone help me with this problem.
Just got the 8GB version, unlocked bootloader and rooted.
I put my sim card in and the phone will not recognize it at all. Can it be an error caused by the rooting, unlocking bootloader process?
I am using a GoSmart sim that has been cut down to micro size. The sim works in my xperia T and in my nokia 6700, with an adapter, with no problems. I ordered a micro sim to see if that helps, but in the meantime, I'm wondering the problem was caused by rooting the phone, if its the sim card, or possibly the phone itself (hardware wise).
Also, phone works perfectly aside from the not recognizing the sim.
Thanks

It also do with me... When I flash the CM11 rom my SIM is not recognized... Than I need to flash the stock rom again..
I now that Chinese version of this phone is dual sim and global version, single sim, but i found that Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro global, are physicaly (hardware) dual sim (they have two sim slots), but with software (global ROM) limitation, to only one active slot? By unlocking the bootloader and flashing xiaomi.eu, or another custom ROM, the second sim slot can be activated!
My main question is: is it possible to activate the second sim slot, without unlocking the bootloader? For example: changing the region, or something else?
I had a chinese redmi 6 that had an unlocked bootloader and global ROM and it was using a Giffgaff SIM. Bootloader got locked and it bricked. Finally got it back on its feet again with a chinese ROM and want to unlock bootloader which requires a working sim. However the giffgaff SIM will no longer work, the phone recognises it and my phone number and all the network settings but wont use it.
Do i need a chinese sim?
Thanks!
