Seems like I’m fucked. Being Chinese-American means the US government is constantly suspicious of me being a “CCP Spy” and also the CCP has overseas illegal “police stations”, I’m getting fucked over by both sides. Just perfect
From what I hear you can either 1. Register with Xiaomi and try to unlock it once a month. 2. Slip a service center worker with special access like 100RMB or buy a pre-unlocked one on taobao. 3. Ask said worker to downgrade firmware, then, before they relock it, snatch phone and run out of the store.

Can you still unlock the bootloader on Xiaomis? It was always a pain, but I’ve read they have completely locked them down now?
