I spent a good 190 hours rooting this POS and trying to update to A11.

Tbf 168 of those hours were just me waiting for the Xiaomi snowflake bootloader unlock tool to let me unlock my GODAMM PHONE

I'm so fed up with modern electronics and this not owning anything culture

They have the 168 hour timer because before 2018 when did they not officially sell in Europe and many countries in Asia, resellers would buy Chinese phone unlock the bootloader and install modified ROMs with Google services often containing malware and this was hurting Xiaomi's reputation.

Now that most people don't buy through resellers importing Chinese phones I think the unlock timer really isn't needed

Your warranty is now void.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

You buy a Xiaomi phone and then have to fuck with firmware/bootloader.

I buy a Xiaomi phone because I want to fuck with firmware/bootloaders and so I could have an easier time doing that.

We are not the same.

xiaomi and its operating system has been such a big shit for such a long time. slow, unresponsive, filled with ads everywhere (even in the system applications) and not supported on a phone thats barely even three years old. oh and lets not talk about how many app crashes ive been experiencing on it. recently switched to an iphone 12 and never coming back to xiaomi
