Xiaomi smartphones are cheap, but the waiting period is horrible (two weeks now), saying this from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9s on LineageOS with microg. (I’m actually on my computer right now)
Yeah, it needs an xiaomi account with unlocking privileges (I have one from 2018, so this step was already done) and a Windows partition with the xiaomi bootloader unlocker (the official one, updated to the last version), then putting a SIM card into the phone, putting the same account on the phone, going to the bootloader unlocker, checking all the boxes and then just waiting for the time it says on the unlocker to unlock the phone, with the SIM card and not changing the account on the phone.
I just added a Windows 10 IoT LTSC partition to do that :/, then deleted it afterwards.
Credits? I didn’t need any credits, I used this, from the official website. I just checked on the fastboot screen (using this program) once in a while for getting the time to unlock the bootloader.
Uhm, nope, as for what I understood, as of now, Xiaomi only lets an exact amount of users unlocking their phones, per day, and this quota resets each day. Anyways, next days I’m going to try again, hopefully I will succeed. Out of curiosity, when did you last unclock your bootloader? :)
No if you care about custom ROM you should avoid xiaomi phones like a plague, unlocking bootloader should be as simple as enable USB debugging and OEM unlock with adb flashing unlock command not with their bullshit unlocking request and dogshit “Community app”

Were you able to unlock It? It seems it’s getting more and more complicated (I own a Xiaomi phone, too, a Poco F6)

Did you have to try many times before getting it done? I always kept being replied I have to try again because the credits for that day had ended :(

Can you explain a little more?
Sorry I meant quota. Here’s a link explaining it better: https://xdaforums.com/t/unlocking-bootloader-poco-f6-pro.4675388/
On your xiaomi account? I never saw that quota thing, is this for the account to have unlocking privileges?

I unlocked just a month ago to 2 months ago. Didn’t see this quota, maybe some markets have more restrictions than others.
