Python script to automate Mi Community unlock request at 00:00 beijing time via ADB

Why?

On newer global HyperOS devices, Xiaomi has implemented another unlock step for unlocking the bootloader via the Mi Community app.

However, there is a daily quota of devices that can be unlocked per day on Xiaomi servers, and it is reset at 00:00 GMT+8 (Beijing time), as the app states.

Requirements

This script requires the device to have:

• USB Debugging enabled
• USB Debugging (Security settings) enabled just in case
• OEM Unlocking enabled
• A binded Mi account that is older than 30 days

This will not work on devices that have Chinese firmware/region, or specific devices that have blocked bootloader unlock.

This script bundles basic ADB for most common OSes with x86_64 (+ arm64 MacOS only) architectures. On devices with a different environment, ADB from PATH will be used!

This script also requires Python 3.10+ and ntplib to be installed:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Set up

1. Open the Mi community app, switch to global region in the app settings
2. Navigate to "Me -> Unlock Bootloader" and keep the screen at the page
3. Connect the device to the computer, and run the script.

The script will disable screen timeout, check time against a NTP server to be precise, calculate when the quota will be reset, and also calculate the center of the "Apply for unlocking" button via ADB.

When beijing time hits 23:59:59, the script will simulate 2 clicks to the button by default with a 1 second delay, and that's it.

Usage

The script will work without any arguments. But if you want to customize or do tests, here is the usage:

Usage: automate.py [-h] [--clicks CLICKS] [--delay DELAY] [--test] [--test-timezone TEST_TIMEZONE] [--test-time TEST_TIME]

Python script to automate Mi Community unlock request at 00:00 beijing time via ADB

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --clicks CLICKS       Number of clicks (default: 2)
  --delay DELAY         Delay between clicks in seconds (default: 1.0)
  --test                Run in test mode
  --test-timezone TEST_TIMEZONE
                        Timezone offset in hours for test mode (required if --test is used)
  --test-time TEST_TIME
                        Target time for test mode in HH:MM:SS format (required if --test is used)

Examples

1. Running the script normallÿ

python automate.py 

2. Doing 10 clicks with 2 second delay in between

python automate.py --clicks 10 --delay 2

3. Doing a dirty click test

python automate.py --test --test-timezone 2 --test-time 16:20

Alternative

This script below sends the request from the computer itself, instead of going through the Mi Community app.

However it is not cross-compatible with all OSes and environments (e.g. Fedora).
