Bootloader unlock time - Xiaomi Mi 8 SE Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I just got this (amazing) phone and I'd like to maybe help testing / developing if I get the chance to, it seems though that I have to wait 2 weeks to unlock the bootloader... are there any non official ways or do I just have to be patient? Thanks in advance. Happy holidays btw!

You must be patient only[emoji16] in October I waited 1 whole month so your 2 weeks are not so bad[emoji16]

Man you're lucky to have 'just' 2 weeks of waiting time. I had to wait for 28 days ???
You have to be patient bro, as there's no working way of bypassing it ??

Multiple updates?

I don't use Z, so I'll be dumping my question here.
My father's Z is telling him to update firmware for the third time in the past few days, did Sony just pumped out that many firmwares in such a short period of time? Or did he didn't install it properly, and I should just snatch the phone from and update for him?

What was the deal when COS12 got released, did all COS-phones receive it more or less at the same time? Or is this in Zuk`s hands?

I don't remember but I'm pretty sure it's a joint effort.
Having said that I'm pretty disappointed that the ZUK Z1 (so far the latest COS flagship) is late compared to OPO.
The lack of communication from both ZUK and Cyngn is even worse. When I had the OPO the communication via their blog was good, here we are left in the middle of nowhere.....

Rumours about the Zuk 2 lunched next week and we still haven't had the marshmallow

Maybe there will be something this december, as they said on zukmobile.cc blog:
ZUK Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update
We are testing the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow for ZUK Z1 phone,we will support OTA update next December.
The post on zukmobile is dated november 2015, so they are only some months late.

I think they were referring to ZUI and not COS 13. I've never heard anything official about COS MM update........ but I can be wrong.
Sent from my Zuk Z1 using XDA Labs
As usual...too little information about anything...I was hoping ZUK will be better, after all ZUK is not some cheap $100 cell company...

Indeed, Zuk should not be considered some cheap cell company but the fact is that they are acting like it. They've been anouncing COS 13 for a few month now and still nothing.
About the tweet, it's just another Zuk Z1 giveaway in andro4all youtube channel sponsored by zuk.. So, not about the update we're all waiting unfortunetely..

for real? they must be kidding ... thats like trolling level 5000 ... my gosh im so sick of this ZUK marketing gags..
Oh, this isn't good. I thought buying a phone officially supported by Cyanogen means getting next to nexus quick updates but I guess I was wrong. At least we have CM13 roms. My previous device was Sony Z2 and the funny thing is that even that device has been officially updated to MM and yet Z1 has not received the latest Android.
Guys...
1.MM anouncement from december its about ZUI ROM în witch case they kept their word.
2. I do not think that the tweet its about a cheap giveaway on youtube... If it is about that, it means that ZUK marketing team is full of idiots and monkeys. Hope is not so.
3. I think we will see COS 13 tonight

MIUI For Huawei P8

Hello Everybody
Today And Last Days I'm So Sadly !
About a lot of Things , and My Sadly is Your Sadly too.
When Huawei Released Huawei P8 (GRA-xxxx) Other Factories were Released Other Flaghships !
For Example Meizu MX4 Pro ! (GPU is Same as Huawei P8 can Check Every Agreed Websites : ALT_ : https://www.gsmarena.com/meizu_mx4_pro-6815.php)
After a Long time ! MX4 Pro Was Got Android 7.0 Based on FlyMe OS 6.0 !
it's Jokes to Huawei Release Any Upper Version of EMUI (For Example EMUI 8.0)
Now I'm So Sad !
But now , If you want any New Rom any New Support , You should be a MIUI Member and Leave EMUI Alone !
EMUI Never Support US To Last Day Of The World.
Try Visit This URL >»»»( http://en.miui.com/thread-904672-1-1.html ) «««<, Sign to MIUI and Comment To this Thread for This Request (MIUI For Huawei P8)
We sign 2,500 signs at Change.Org , And Now Should show US again.
Do it Now if wanna New Updates or New Custom Roms (Better Than EMUI) Leave EMUI Now.
Thanks for Reading , Happy me with Doing !

Thanks for Sharing this
Hello @NAViDArt
I think it's a pretty good idea to port MIUI to Huawei p8. It should be possible.
There's already a port for P7 and P9.
I think Miui 8 should be good.
So I think this can be done
We can stay connected, I will add you on Telegram.
My only thing is, that I can start this work with begin on January.
Until the end of the year 2017 I have a lot of things to do.
First my regular job and I planed to make two new Roms similar than MagicArrow for P8 and P9 before Christmas.
But next year I can help you to do porting MIUI.

Sorry , But when you paid 500$ for a Phone at 2 Years Ago (For Example)
Now can Buy For Example Again (OnePlus 5 or Mi 6) Both of Them are Latest and Strongest Android Phones at Any Where !
If you wanna 1000$ from 4 Years and now , can Do it !
Thanks

I hope they will take time and finally polish out the bugs that are in there!
i think i'm seeing a pattern with security updates, they usually release on the second working week of each month. (i assume they beta test the first week)
so for feb it should be this week as first week of feb was holiday. we'll see i guess, i agree, nice to have good stable updates rather then buggy rushed ones. sure, it's nice to have security patches on time but android one devices are miles ahead of the pack anyway so couple weeks after pixels sounds good.
edit: ok, there's definetly a pattern, second working friday each month - will confirm over the next months...

For the A1, I don't have screenshot, but a few members of a Facebook group (created for a1, a2, a2 lite owners) posted they received it.
that looks promising, 240mb maybe they fixed some bugs in addition to the security patch

Same here. Just installed it and no problems.
Someone has a changelog?
Hi, I have just updated my Xiaomi A2 with the Februari update. After installing, the phone is in normal operation mode. Then it said that I had to restart the phone.
After restarting, the phone keeps hanging in the white Android One start screen. Even the screen keeps on for minutes. I can't do anything. Also no hard reset or something else.
Do you do have any ideas?
Installed the update. Yay! Lag with on-screen keyboard is gone!
installed on MI A2, no problems after restart
ask for changelog for mia2 ? from xiaomi ? LOL
maybe......the next year
anyway...no problem after update/restart V10.0.4.0
Just received February update, 302mb.
Somebody can share stock boot.img for last OTA?
For some reason my display is now oversaturated, to the point where my eyes hurt lol. Can they launch an update and not break something for once? Jesus.
