And for those of you who want to reset a Xiaomi cellphone, you can use two ways, namely through cellphone settings and through recovery mode by pressing a combination of several buttons.
How to Reset Xiaomi Mobile Via Settings
The first and easiest way to reset a Xiaomi cellphone is through the Settings menu. For more details, please refer to the steps below:
1. Open menu Settings
2. Scroll down and select Additional settings
3. Next select Backup & reset
4. Select Factory reset
5. Continue by selecting Reset phone
6. Wait until the reset process runs
The length of the reset process depends on the number of files to be deleted on the phone’s internal memory.
NB: If there are important files, please backup them first through the Local Backup menu. Use SD Card as media to store backup files. When going to the reset process, please remove the SD Card that already contains the backup file earlier.
In this process what will be deleted are all files starting from data, including account data, contacts, photos and applications. Also stored media files such as music, photos, videos and other user data.
Anyway, everything in the phone memory (Internal Storage) will all be deleted including the Google account that we have used on the cellphone, therefore it is very important to remember the email and password before we are finally asked to verify the account when finished doing the factory reset.
How to Reset Xiaomi Mobile Via Recovery Mode
Using the recovery mode feature or what is also known as a Xiaomi hard reset will delete all files on the cellphone. This process usually takes longer than the first method, for details, please refer to the tutorial below:
1. First turn off the phone
2. Enter Recovery Mode by pressing the button Power + Volume Up simultaneously
3. Release both buttons when the Xiaomi logo appears
4. After a while the recovery mode screen will appear, select Wipe Data (use volume button to scroll and power button to select)
5. Wait for the wipe data process to run until it is finished.
Many say that this method is more effective in deleting all files in the internal memory. However, the process will take longer than method number 1.
This method is also often referred to as the 3-finger reset method which uses several key combinations to enter the secret menu or recovery mode.
How about a cellphone with a broken power button? Not infrequently those who ask how to restart the xiaomi cellphone without the power button. For general cases such as wanting to turn off the device, maybe you can use an application to replace the power button.
But it’s different again if it’s the case where you have to turn off the cellphone and turn it on, then you still have to use the power button. But the solution for those whose power button is broken, you can use the first method because it can be done through the settings menu and it doesn’t require pressing the power button.
Difference between Reset and Restart
Many people mistakenly interpret restarting that it is the same as a reset. Whereas the real meaning of restart is Reboot, which is where the phone will be turned off and on again without deleting the files that are in the cellphone.
While the reset is more about deleting all the files on the smartphone so that there will be no files left. So we’re just here to point out that reset and restart are not the same thing, and they don’t deserve to be equated.
Doing a reset on a Xiaomi cellphone certainly has risks and we have summarized the advantages and disadvantages of doing a Xiaomi cellphone reset below.
Reset Benefits
HP performance is back to the beginning
Many of the Xaomi users want to restore the performance of their cellphones so that they don’t lag again by doing a reset. Because when the cellphone is reinstalled, all files will be deleted and the cellphone settings will be like factory settings when we first bought it.
Free phone storage again
After all the files in the internal storage are deleted and only the default Xiaomi default application is left, your cellphone will automatically be relieved and comfortable to use. Storage that was originally almost full, can now be filled with other files or applications.
Remove Virus and Malware
Don’t think that because Android is based on Linux, you assume that there won’t be a virus that sits on your smartphone, of course that possibility still exists. By doing a factory reset all viruses and malware will be wiped clean until nothing remains.
Danger of Reset
If you see some of the benefits above, of course you will immediately be interested in doing a reset, but you also have to know some of the dangers of doing a reset that can be caused.
Bootloop
This is a problem that is often encountered, the reset process does not run normally so that the cellphone becomes a bootloop and must be re-flashed.
This problem is usually caused by a cellphone with a minimal battery condition so that when the reset process runs and has not been completed, the cellphone dies because the battery runs out.
All Apps Removed
When you press restore to initial settings, that means you already understand that all applications installed on the cellphone will be deleted without exception. But it doesn’t matter, can’t you still install it again or ask a friend?
Well, that’s some of the benefits and risks of doing a reset. Hopefully this article on how to reset a Xiaomi cellphone can help with the problems you experience, such as forgetting your password, forgetting the pattern and the like that require reinstalling.
