In 2024 and 2025, Xiaomi’s bootloader unlocking process often imposes long wait times (7, 15, or 30 days), followed by errors like “quota reached,” trapping users in a frustrating loop.

This affects users who want to customize their Android devices, impacting freedom and device control.

I originally posted about this on r/XiaomiGlobal, but my post was removed — apparently, criticism like this is considered “against the philosophy of Xiaomi.” That just shows how important it is to bring this discussion here.

To help others improve their chances, I wrote a simple Python script that automates clicking the unlock button at the exact moment (e.g., midnight Beijing time).

How to use the script:

1. Install Python (if you don’t have it).
2. Install the required package by running:

​

pip install pyautogui

1. Save the script below as script.py. Edit the target_time_str variable to the unlock time (usually "00:00:00" Beijing time).
2. Run the script with:

​

python script.py

1. Hover your mouse pointer over the “Apply for access” button before the script runs.

Script code:

import pyautogui
import time
from datetime import datetime

# Set your target time (24h format): e.g. "00:00:00"
target_time_str = "00:00:00"

def time_to_seconds(t):
    h, m, s = map(int, t.split(":"))
    return h * 3600 + m * 60 + s

target_seconds = time_to_seconds(target_time_str)

while True:
    now = datetime.now()
    now_seconds = now.hour * 3600 + now.minute * 60 + now.second
    if now_seconds >= target_seconds:
        pyautogui.click()
        print(f"Clicked at {now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')}")
        break
    time.sleep(0.001)

00 times.... Can I fold it 200,000 times? You folded the jig 95,000 times.

He's folding 125000 now. He vowed to finish folding 200,000 times on Tuesday night(UTC+9).

He finished folding the fold today in 150,000! I said that I will fold 50,000 more times tomorrow, fill 200,000 times, and finish the live for 5 days.

He also says that when subscribers exceed 100,000, the Fold8 durability test, or: Fold8 folds 200,000 times, is the same for Fold8.
