Just a doubt on flashing!

[ReivaJ86]

Hello!
I’ve just received a brand new Poco M3 with the MIUI Global version and I’m planning to flash the Xiaomi.eu Rom since its depurated from Xiaomi’s Global Bloatware and so...which brings me to the next: Do I need to wait a whole week, for the boot loader to be unlocked by their servers? Is it mandatory to flash Xiaomi.eu ROM? Hope I do not disturb anybody with so many doubts, just a newbie trying not 2 mess it up!

yes you have to wait a week, and its not mandatory if you want to flash it, go ahead, if you don't want to, its also okay

Ok, now I get it, thanks a lot!!! I guess that I miss-used the “mandatory” part hehe. What I really wanted to mean was that if I had 2 mandatorily wait for the boot loader to be unlocked in order TO flash the xiaomi.eu rom, which I’m totally gonna!
Thanks again for answering me. Really appreciated it!

Yeah sadly you have to wait :/, but the wait is so worth it lol.
Also, when you unlock bootloader, it factory resets your phone so backup your things like pictures and videos.

Ok thanks!!!
I’m just waiting for the week 2 be over to flash it and root it. There’s nothing to be saved since I just received it this morning and it is as freshly untouched as it came in its box lol!!! But thanks for the clarification anyway!
