I'd like to unlock my 14U Global. I just created my account and realized there is a 30day wait. Is anyone (with a >30day old account) willing to change their password and let me borrow it to unlock my bootloader?

I assume removing the account and adding mine back still keeps the BL unlocked 14Ultra Xiaomi.EU rom isnt even available yet so I wait either way. Yeah, everyone I know owns an iphone or samsung.

Good idea, but no one I know has a Xiaomi. I don't think I've ever met anyone in the US that has one. If anyone here wants to lend me their account, let me know. Though I guess that sounds risky, I'm not sure what is connected to a mi account.

Just got my 14Ultra (Global) today. The first thing I did was turn go attempt to unlock the bootloader. I created a Mi account and it says I need to wait 30 days. I guess didn't read the first post carefully enough. I've been watching for the 14Ultra for several months planning to install the...

I currently have a Huawei P30 pro. I needed case for two reasons. It was so slippery, it would literally slide down in my hand unless I gripped it very tightly. I didn't want the camera bump or screen hitting the table every time I put the phone down. I bought the Rhinoshield Crashguard bumper...

Yes CN: Bigger (and better) battery, more options, cheaper Global: Easier and free to unlock, more bands IMO, the only reason to buy Global is if one needs the extra bands

thanks

You'll get those benefits whether you flash the rom on the CN or Global version of the phone.

If the CN version bands are ok for you and you are ok with the unlock process, then I see no reason to not buy the CN version. You save money, get a bigger battery and get more options. I would gladly do this option except the bands

You can protect yourself. Setup a VM or setup a temporary computer. Use a VPN

I am about to order a 14 Ultra but want to double check my carrier isn't rejecting it, however I don't have an IMEI to test. Can someone with a 14 Ultra (preferably GLOBAL version) check their IMEI against T-Mobile's checker? I'd just ask for the IMEI but I assume that is sensitive. Check...

Ah, thats exactly what I'm talking about. On Huawei it's called "Auto Launch". Works great

I know your point but I sympathize with the previous poster. Xiaomi is trying to directly compete with Apple and Samsung with its phone. At least with their non-China versions. On hardware, it certainly has them beat. The software side is more dubious. We "suffer" with bugs to have options...

I know nothing about how this works but you can try to guess. Xiaomi 14 released 1Nov. If you look at the Hyper OS threads, the first one with it was 18Nov. 18 days. Xiaomi 13 Ultra released 12 April. If you look at the MIUI theads, the first one was 13 May. a month. So I would guess 3-4...

I did, I was agreeing with you

I dont think a scammer would give you your money back. This sounds like a hobby and with the 14U just coming out, they're probably overwhelmed

wow, that's great. I wish I had access to a xiaomi store

I'm in a similar situation waiting. I don't think that anyone can predict when the xiaomi.eu rom be available. I'm pretty sure it will be at some point. I agree that if you are ok with the bands on the china version and the sketchy costly unlocking process, I see no reason why you wouldn't buy...

Yes, before I read this thread, I wasn't sure if it was needed for all devices. However, this clarified that it is only needed for chinese devices. I'd be willing to do it to save some money, but the global version has better band support for me in the US anyways.

I will be in Europe next month and after. How hard is it to just buy it in another country and take it home with me? Or does it have to be ordered online and shipped?
