r/Xiaomi

I had some kind of app vault app that I had to erase every morning almost, and it became annoying. I thought maybe erasing some google things would get rid of it constantly appearing, and there were many I never used and never wanted to use, but they wouldn't erase.

Chatgpt lead me through how to erase them through the adb platform tools. It had warned that some things may make the system unstable. An unusable brick does not match my definition of unstable.

I feel like that wasn't my first restart after erasing the things, but it may have been. Phone was entirely fine for weeks. But at the restart, it just showed menu of reboot, wipe data, connect with miassistant. If nothing is selected, bootloops until battery is dead. Reboot does same.

Spent several full days now going through chatgpt's suggestions of possible resolves. It has gotten to the point of saying take it to a service center in India who has a signed rom file that the miassistant will accept, or find forensic data recovery centers in the U.S. There is one in Austin it recommended that is the closest. I'm near Houston. Probably cost hundreds. All because I wanted less google on the phone. Silly me trusting AI.

I've asked Xiaomi support. They told me that if the company who sold it to me no longer exists, I should take legal action against them. Not sure how that makes sense. But refused to provide any help.

Someone on here has posted that calling their number while in a bootloop got it out of the bootloop. I tried this, and it did go from straight to vm to ringing, I was so so excited. But it never exited the bootloop. Just rang a lot, and same.

I present to the reddits. Smartest people on here. Perhaps someone has another suggestion neither presented to me by AI, nor have I come across elsewhere. Can someone here fix my stupid, please?

It's definitely a software issue, not hardware. I never had battery issues and a service center checked the battery and confirmed it was not it. Checked the button. Said everything was fine hardware-wise, as I suspected, as it was always great hardware-wise.

I have no need of the phone as a device that is wiped of the info. My only goal is having it accessible again, or recovering the data.

Some chat provided info:

Your Redmi 9 Prime is enforcing:

1. Bootloader lock → blocks fastboot
2. Recovery signature check → blocks ROMs
3. Encrypted OTA channel → blocks interception
4. File-based encryption → blocks data access

Chat recommended this to tell service center:

Phone: Redmi 9 Prime (lancelot)

State: bootloop, locked bootloader

Goal: DO NOT WIPE DATA

I need:

- either board-level repair to boot once

- OR data extraction without factory reset

Important:

Device must not be reset or flashed in a way that erases userdata.

do you always update your device? I don't usually update phones if I don't see any problem. i just want to know if you guys update your phone to latest version.

btw i'm at version 3.0.45.0 is this very late? should i update mine?

thanks

Hi, my phone stopped showing the lilttle animation when i connect it to charge it, it won't even change the lilttle number in the battery icon from the top of the screen, but when i turn it off and on again it changes. It only shows me when i'm loosing battery but not when it's getting more. How can i fix this problem?

so I just got my phone 2 days ago. but I notice how fast it gets warm. especially on yet and especially on camera

Where do yoy / can you submit bugs back to Xiaomi? Specifically 15T Pro with latest HyperOS - double power click doesn’t launch the wallet?

Hi, I've looked everywhere but can't find an answer. I tried to unlock it with Mi Unlock, but I got this message"The place where the account is registered does not match the place where the phone is sold", so I probably need to create a Chinese Xiaomi account, but I can't because of the phone number requirements. I don't know wha t to do anymore. If anyone can help me...

I'm stuck on the Android 13 security update since August of 2023. I just got this phone in today. Anyway to update it?

I gifted my mother an S4 watch last year for the fall detection. I had difficulty setting it up until someone here suggested I set my Region to China (I'm in Canada).

There was a new update prompt on the app and my mother waited until I visited before doing anything about it. It downloaded and installed successfully but it could no longer find the watch (it was still connected via Bluetooth to her phone but not being picked up by the app).

I've tried everything I can think of: deleting and reinstalling the app, switching regions between China and Canada, deleting the prvious downloaded update files, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance

I was lucky to score a 256 GB model but I can't find for the life of me the 512 GB version?? I know these are pretty uncommon at this point in time, but it would be nice to actually double my storage. if anyone knows where I can go to to actually purchase one even second hand or brand new that would be very helpful. Thank you!

I use a Redmin10 5G and id like to know how do I disable auto brightness? I've turned off the setting and also turned off sunlight mode, yet it still adjusts my contrast/saturation automatically. On top of that, my brightness level is automatically shot straight up to max level whenever I have a qr code on screen.

As the title says, can you give me pros and contras about this phone?

I'm planning on buying a xiaomi 13 for like 211 usd from second hand cause of it's processor to emulate on it and to use as main for a few years to replace my 2018 phone but it has 87% battery health, is that still usable?
