#Rooting a new #Xiaomi device is getting totally ridiculous these days.

I already jumped through the hoop to "request bootloader unlock permission" in one of Xiaomi's #bloatware apps at **EXACTLY** midnight beijing time, at least this worked. Now the second step would be to actually unlock the boot loader. On #FreeBSD, I can't use Xiaomi's unlocker tool (but I guess that's actually a good thing), so I found some python script that also works (after a bit of fiddling with it, patching shebang and removing some nonsense), and see what it tells me now.

Xiaomi, you used to be cool, a long time ago... 🙄

Please unlock 71 hours later. And do not add your account in MIUI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch

You can unlock (repeat this process) on: 2025-05-17 18:00
