- The last official day to submit unlock requests via the old form was reportedly **September 9, 2024**.  

     

       
70
       
 
       
- Xiaomi has hinted in the Community App that the service *may return in 2025*, but similar promises have not been fulfilled in the past.  

     

       
71
       
 
       
- Multiple forum posts suggest that **only users physically located in China, with Level 5 accounts, and valid Chinese ID can currently unlock**. Others sometimes resort to paid third-party services, though results vary.
