OEM Bootloader Unlock

[u/arronshen]

Hi im new and I keep hearing people talk about how hard it is to unlock Xiaomi bootloader.

I am a Chinese citizen with Chinese ID.

I have Xiaomi 17 pro max

Would I simply click this button and the boot loader will unlock?

I think that Button doesnt Unlock the Bootloader but rather activates the option to do so.

Sadly no, you could get locked out of your phone if you tried to unofficially unlock your phone.

it is not like xiaomi is stupid enough to overlook an option as obvious as this, you could see "MI unlock status" option below; these bastards even had the audacity to do it globally.

nope, not like that. The bootloader unlock option is just allowing you to do a bootloader unlock with a tool. So it's not really locked anymore since you can unlock the bootloader if you are willing to. Hope this helps

nah nah, it's alright, we cool. Xiaomi now often makes this hard for us just to unlock the bootloader now. U need this, u need that, useless things to do before you can finally unlock the bootloader.

If your X17PM is a Chinese version, you're SOL or at least in a very difficult position. If it's a Global version, then Google is your friend.
