Some have recently uploaded that Xiaomi bootloader can be unlocked in an instant with no waiting period. This is completely untrue and not safe. There are certain policies for unlocking bootloaders at Xiaomi, and any software that claims to circumvent them is a scam.
Fake “Instant Unlock” Software is Malware
Certain nasty hackers have shared a tool with a name “Xiaomi Instant Unlock” and say that it can unlock your bootloader in a matter of seconds. But, actually, it is a thief that steals your private information, including:
- Bank account information
- Social Media Log In Credentials
- Crypto wallets
The scammer recently victimized our XiaomiTime’s X (Twitter), hijacking its account in an effort to sell such a counterfeit device. DO NOT DOWNLAOD AND INSTALL IT!!!
Official Unlock Rules for Mi Bootloader
Xiaomi maintains two disparate policies for unlocking bootloaders:
- Chinese ROM Devices → Bootloader can only be unlocked by Chinese citizens. Chinese citizens cannot unlock bootloaders in China ROM devices any longer.
- Global ROM Devices → Official 30 days waiting period. There have been instances when it’s been reduced to 15 days with certain tricks, but instant unlocking isn’t an option.
Xiaomi no longer has an immediate unlocking service for its phones. Anyone who informs you otherwise is a scammer.
How to Unlock Your Bootloader Securely
To unlock your Xiaomi bootloader in a proper and safe manner, use the correct one:
- Open Mi Community
- Apply bootloader unlock request
- Wait 30 days
- Unlock bootloader via MiFlashUnlock Tool

Final Warning: Stay Safe!
Any software claiming to unloack bootloaders in an instant is a scam. It contains viruses and keyloggers that will steal your private information. Never use unauthorized bootloader unlocking tools. Instead, use only Xiaomi’s approved processes and report spurious tools whenever you use them. Be safe and don’t become a victim of scams!
Hmm… didn’t you posted an software called Mi Forge from GitHub that can unlock the bootloader without approval from Mi Community apps before this? You share that news including the link to GitHub without thinking twice about it then when people find out it was a scam software, you quickly delete that news to cover your track about your mistake…
