Cant you use adb?

Lmao

I tried running it in wine but it doesn't render the contents

no there's some weird server checks

Never even considering xiaomeme phone then

you can't just fastboot oem unlock

Lol

Also after requesting permission to unlock the phone, you have to wait 72 hours

Yes you have to request permission by formmailer

And you have to explain why you want to unlock

Lol

What the fuck

I am now kind of happy that I didn't buy into xiaomememe

Its most likely that chinks dont unlock them

Seriously once it's unlocked, it won't be that bad. Unlocking it is just hell

So they cant flash botnets before selling

Worse than samsung

No there's a reason behind it. Vendors were installing malware

So xiaomi made this autistic unlock process

But why cant they give adb code

Autistic

Xiaomi is the new apple

I guess if it's generated and/or verified on the phone, and not online, it's crackable in a more easy way

security through obfuscation

Can't the key get bruteforced?

Most probably

But since there's no public way, I assume it's obfuscated enough

One time key stored on the company's own database?

that's apparently how they do it

Reminds me of carkeys

Can't xiaomi make a say onetimeuse key

Because the key is for a certain phone/account combination

And you just have to register on the website

If your key is used it will be shown

Or you know

And that key would be included in the box

how does your adb then check if you are unlocking that said phone?

Xiaomi developer account

you are only allowed to unlock 1 phone / 30 days

Wat

I mean why not just make it this way
