19. Lastly, we need to wait (however many hours the tools says) before we use the Unlock Tool again so it will finally unlock the bootloader of the Redmi Note 9S and Redmi Note 9 Pro.
We need to unlock the Redmi Note 9 bootloader if we want to modify the Android software. So to do that, we first need to request permission to unlock the bootloader itself.
This process requires a SIM card with a mobile service that includes data, a Mi account, and then waiting a certain number of days. Xiaomi wants to gate this process with a delay to make sure we aren’t resellers putting other software on the phone before selling it to the community en masse.

As you can see, I’m being told to wait 7 days after this initial request. So once that time passes I can open the Mi Unlock took again, click the Unlock button, and then the company will allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
