Come ripristinare un Xiaomi

To wipe data on a Xiaomi phone in 2025, the standard method is through the device’s settings, but some recent models and software updates may hide or complicate the wipe option in recovery mode. Here’s how to proceed for typical and problematic cases:

Standard Method (when device is functional and accessible):

• Go to Settings.
• Tap About phone.
• Select Factory Reset.
• Scroll down and tap Erase all data.
• Enter your unlock pattern, PIN, or password if prompted, and confirm ^{[3] [1]}.
• The device will erase all personal data, apps, accounts, internal storage, and return to factory defaults. (Data on SD cards and cloud will not be erased unless you choose those options specifically.) ^{[1] [3]}

If the "Wipe Data" Option is Missing in Recovery:

Many users report that, especially on newer models in 2024/2025 (such as Redmi Note 13/14 series), the “Wipe Data” option is hidden or unavailable in the recovery menu ^{[2] [4] [6] [7]}.

• Secondary Method (using PC and special tools):
  • Power off the phone.
  • Hold Power + Volume Up to enter recovery; if there’s no “Wipe Data” option, proceed.
  • Use official/unofficial “EDL tools” (Emergency Download Mode) such as Unlock Tool or TFM Tool Pro on your PC. Steps typically include:
  • Enter EDL mode by shorting test points on the device’s motherboard (this sometimes requires opening the phone, which is risky and not recommended for novice users) ^{[2] [4] [6]}.
  • Connect the device to PC.
  • Use the tool to select your phone model and execute a “Factory Reset” or “Erase FRP” (Factory Reset Protection).
  • Wait for process to complete, then reboot and set up as new ^{[2] [4] [6]}.
• Alternate:
  • If you are using family link or parental controls, you may need to disable or adjust settings there before resetting ^[9].

Precautions:

• Back up all data before starting, as the wipe is irreversible.
• Remove SD cards to prevent accidental formatting.
• Log out of important accounts (Google, Xiaomi) if possible ^[1].
• Ensure the phone is charged above 50% to avoid power loss during reset ^[1].

Note:
If you’re not experienced with hardware tools or the EDL method, consider visiting an authorized service center to avoid device damage. Xiaomi’s tools and third-party utilities can risk warranty or brick the phone if misused.

Factory Reset on Xiaomi TV models: Process differs from phones—typically done entirely via settings menu on the TV, not physical buttons or recovery mode ^[8].

Recent Xiaomi and Redmi phones may not allow a wipe data reset from recovery mode directly, especially with HyperOS and later MIUI versions. Rely on PC tools, or update the device if possible. If nothing works and the data wipe is critical (e.g., before selling the device), seek professional service ^{[2] [4] [6] [7]}.
