I am curious on one aspect. If I unlock my Mi 11 Lite SE 5G by waiting for 7 days, load custom ROM and after some days move back to the device original ROM and lock the bootloader, will I have to wait for another 7 days if I want to unlock again??
In my Xiaomi K20 Pro, locking and unlocking was instant, I did it so many times. There was no waiting for 7 days.

You do relocking by MiFlash - you don't wait for anybody

Don't know. I would rather make my mind first, do I want to keep unlocked or return to the locked BL

If I flashed the stock MIUI 10 with miflash and by mistake I chose "clean all and lock", and the bootloader got locked again, should I wait again for the waiting period if I want to unlock it?! Or is the waiting period a one-time thing?
Thanks
once you have the permission from Xiaomi! you can unlock again with same procedure!
You have to wait only once to unlock the bootloader after that you can lock and relock bootloader anytime

Ok.
I actually haven't unlocked the bootloader yet, does the waiting time happen after I press the Unlock button on miui unlock app?
Because I once saw something like "getting the permission for your account" and it showed up for less than a minute and it's gone, but I didn't unlock it back then, so my question is, when exactly does the waiting period happen? Thanks a lot

Thanks, this helps a lot, when locking the bootloader again, does the device show locked or relocked in bootloader status? (like Huawei devices)

Yes, or you must have a account where you unlocked a device before. Most of the times you need to wait 720/360 hours or so.

Thanks in advance

using mi unlock is the way, and waiting is mandatory
see the guides
Thanks, I will wait until 168 hours elapse and redo the instructions.

Yes, unlocking the bootloader will make a factory reset on most devices.

when i use mi unlock, it didn't show warning about factory reset or erase all data. Does that mean it won't do that?
No, it means a factory reset will be performed all the same.

is it true that relocking a unlocked bootloader erases everything, but you can re-unlock it ever again on xiaomi devices?

Just use xiaomi flash tool, as it can also re-lock your bootloader.
Hi,
I am new Poco F3 owner,
I got the Amazon black Friday deal £50 off,
my variant has 8gb of rom & 256gb of ram, all this for £269.00p,
what an Amazing price and also comes with 2 years warranty here in the UK.
I have been a LG users for many years, using the (G2, G4, and for now a G7) .
I have installed many custom roms on these devices over the last 8 years.
Unlocking/locking there bootloader have been relatively straight forward.
I asking the same question that I am sure has been asked many times before,
once my 7 days are up and i have unlocked my bootloader and i then lock it again,
but then further down the line i decide to unlock it again,
do i have to wait another 7 pointless days.
I'm loving the new poco F3, apart from the firmware is a bit restrictive,
hence why I'm unlocking the bootloader.
What a great community the F3 has , long may it continue,
regards,
Johnr64

No, you only have to wait the first time.
This waiting time is not so pointless as it seems however. It is there to discourage a.o. the many traders flashing (often fake) 'global' roms on Chinese phones and selling them as genuine global models for extra profit. So in the end it's only for your protection, because flashing roms invalidates warranty.
so just to clarify there is no limit on unlocking and relocking this phone right?

xiaomi unlock tool its infinite dont worry, but be extreme cautious when you are locking your bootloader make sure your are in your right stock rom and dont forget to unlock again when you are going to flash custom roms and recovery
To lock the bootloader you can simply use "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot mode. Note that doing so will (obviously) factory reset your phone.

ok, another question:
in the event where i lose my phone an unlocked bootloader can bypass any password protection if they have the knowledge right?
is there any way to protect the phone from this?

If you mean screen lock, yes they can bypass it. But they cannot get into your banking apps or others which have their own passwords.
If you are really keen on it, just lock the bootloader.
