Xiaomi Downgrade Appointments Turning Into Sprint Practice

In China, Xiaomi made bootloader unlock requirements so ridiculous that users are now booking downgrade appointments, waiting for the technician to flash firmware, and then grabbing their phones mid-process and running out the door – sometimes literally on electric scooters.

Why? Because once it’s flashed and before it relocks, the bootloader is temporarily open – and that's the only chance to escape Xiaomi’s UBL prison without having Level 5 community status, quiz passes, and a handshake from Lei Jun himself.

Most of them brick the phone after anyway. But hey, freedom.

Also, A Dude bought a Xiaomi 14 not knowing bootloader unlock is locked behind quizzes, high community level, and limited slots.

He booked a downgrade at service, waited for the BL to be temporarily open mid-flash – then snatched his phone, said “sorry,” and ran out.

Electric scooter was parked outside 💀
