What a backstab… I though Xiaomi was one of the few companies with somewhat proper phones (after installing custom roms, like xiaomi.eu)…
They had 2-3 Android One phones which might have tricked you. But the program is dead in a ditch.
No worries, Xiaomi, my next phone is going to be fairphone. But you keep digging, girl
If Xiaomi devices cannot be unlocked in the future, I will not buy one. Simple as that. Of course the number of people following that logic may be a neglectable metric in the grand-scheme.
While that seems similar, Xiaomi will apparently have higher requirements. It’s pointed out by Kacper Skrzypek, who translates MIUI for Polish users, that Xiaomi will require users in China to reach “level five” on the company’s forums to even apply to unlock a bootloader, limits the number of unlocks per year to three, and won’t allow users with non-China Xiaomi accounts to unlock their bootloaders, at least for now.
LG used to do this in the US. I remember my G Pad 8.3 not being able to get Android 4.4 because of an error that “Device is suspected in rooting.[sic]”
WTF? It’s your device. What do they care if you root it?
idk I’m not getting any updates anyway after 3 years 🤷♂️ thanks for abandonware
