I’m trying for 8 days straight at 00:00 in Beijing local time and the damn thing rejects every time.

I wish I unlocked it before updating to hyperos

Edit: I mean the new way of unlocking through the Xiaomi Community, not Mi unlock tool.

    Not sure what is the “Xiaomi Community app”.
    I unlocked mine Xiaomi using “Mi Unlock” app for Windows.

    It worked at the first try, but I needed to download app with newer version than offered on official page.

    Next step, installing new ROM via sideload.
    I needed to flash low lever firmware with newer version.

    Next, a sideload, without problems.

      For some godforsaken reason they decided to make unlocking even harder. Now you have to first get approval from Xiaomi on an android app.

      And oh boy, the new unlocking steps are literally worse than stepping on bunch of legos.
