Unlocking bootloader - POCO M3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, got Poco M3 yesterday and I'm on 12.3 (global) update and it feels pretty laggy. So I wanted to move to 12.5 (EU) and to see if it would fix the lag issue.
Is there any way to unblock the bootloader without waiting 7 days?

Nope. 7 days is the only way

I'm using miui.eu 12.0.3. let me know if you successfully updated to official xiaomi miui 12.0.5 (EU) version

I saw that once you upgrade to 7.0 (for example v7.2.9) that bootloader will be automatically locked, and we will have to unlock it once again.
Can anyone confirm if this is true,

Bootloader cannot be locked unless its instructed by you. Flashing process doesn't have any interference with the Bootloader. Still, about my personal experience, I migrate from custom roms to MIUI 7.1.12 and back atleast twice a week. Its not the case. And given the reason neither its supposed to be. You can clear your doubts.

Yes this is my understanding too, and i myself flash constantly -
but according to xiaomi.eu page for build 7.2.9 : " RELESED Android 7.0 for MI4C, Mi4S, MIMAX, MIMAX PRO, MINote PRO
Your BOOTLOADER will be relocked after upgrade to Android 7.0 so unlock it by en.miui.com/unlock after ROM installation again!!!"

No worries, I flashed today without knowing above and my bootloader still unlocked.
After flashing gapps I get lots error messages. Otherwise no big difference in miui.
Worked ok with supersu 2.79 and twrp 3.0.2

No way! I've been looking forward to properly implemented multiwindow since I first saw Android N. That's such a shame
yep, xiaomi took android 7.0 and transformed it to MIUI 8 based on 6.0 i was hoping at least for display resolution support from 7.0 but no, you still have to edit build.prop and distort apps and icons in default theme. i don't need 6.5" screen because of 1cm fonts

It's been always Like that on MIUI, the changes come with MIUI upgrades not Android upgrades.

MIUI 10 China Stable ROM

On the MIUI Chinese web site Mi Max 3 users are posting questions on the forum about their recent update to MIUI 10 Stable 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH. One user on the MIUI Global web site forum has also asked a question about the Mi Max 3 he has just purchased in Singapore which has MIUI 10 Stable 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH installed. I don't see this ROM on the Chinese web site's download page. Does anyone know where I might find a download link for it? Xiaomi.eu will eventually take the new China Stable ROM and tweak it for English/European users, but their developers give priority to weekly Beta ROMs and it may be a while before they get to the new China Stable ROM.

Just updated to miui 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH stable
MI max 3 6gb /128
Thank you for pointing me to the article and the download link. I'm a bit confused though. The download is for Miui 10.0.3.0 OEDCNFH. But based on Xiaomi's naming convention, the "CN" in the version title indicates a China ROM whereas the article says this is a new "Global" ROM. For someone who has installed it, which version does it turn out to be?
I flashed it and it is indeed the "China" not the Global version. However, xiaomi.eu already has it tweaked for English/European use and it is available for download on their web site.

I tried it but I'm having the same issue as before, once I first boot the phone, the TWRP is replaced by the stock recovery.
just received my mm3, definitely china version as box is sealed without global sticker.
upon boot i see small word on the bottom "unlocked" --> is this means BL unlocked? but the box is sealed so how come vendor unlocked it?
also i got MIUI 10 GLOBAL 8.8.3 Beta (weekly). any suggestion what can i do if this is bad? thanks.

You can update manually, rom file is available on official site. I also updated manually my k20. Battery life is little less than 11 but ui is smooth and fingerprint is faster than before.
