Can I just say, I’m incredibly pissed off at Xiaomi (and at the redmi sub brand by extension) at how difficult unlocking the bootloader is on newer devices. Like, you have to make an account with them, log in, and then wait 7 days, to unlock the bootloader, like WHAT? Why? I kinda understand the account, cuz spyware, but why the 7 day wait? So you’re forced to use their crappy bloated and spyware-and-ad-ridden system? It’s just really frustrating. Left a bad taste in my mouth to the point where I’m considering a switch to another brand for my next phone.
