Try a Hard Rest
1. Switch off you're phone.
2. Press and hold VOLUME UP and Power Key
3. When MI LOGO appears release them.
4. This is MI Recovery
5. Wipe & Reset
6. For option WIPE ALL DATA select YES.
7. All data is DELETED including the apps you had previosuly installed. NOW REBOOT to complete the operation.

SOOO SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BUT I FINALLY FOUND OUT BUT NOT FROM THIS THREAD.... i searched every thing far and wide on the net and especially this forum..
my GOD WAS IT HARD... I had to downloand mi flash pro onto my computer, i also had to do all those other things of trying to root unroot, couldnt update either cause i was not even in the phone to be able to turn on the usb option... but finally after a pc restart and launching mi flash pro and using recovery, then hard boot to mi assist then plugging the phone on to the usb connected to the pc, that was finally when the options shows up to flash the note 7 of version 10.2.1.0 to the latest firmware of 10.3.5.0 was i able to factory reset and since my google account was still linked to my mi account i was able to log in that way....
AGAIN GOD DAMN THIS TOOK ME OVER 13 HOURS STRAIGHT TRYING TO FIGURE THIS THING OUT, I REALLY THOUGHT THAT I BRICKED AND WOULD NEED TO SEND IT BACK:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
xiaomi has one of the worst softwares ever, but considering what can be done **** it dood....

Whitescreen

Hello,
i got an problem with my Huawei p8 lite.
I got root installed, my device worked perfect for a long time, but yesterday i came across a problem. a couple of apps stopped working. (they started and closed a couple seconds later.)
i turned my phone on and off a couple of times but the problem stayed. I put my phone back to factory settings.
My phone turned on after that and i got the 'setup' screen. after all the settings and agreements, i got a screen with 'restore with and older android device' when i want to skip that, i got an white screen.
Its stuck on there, i can turn off my phone with holding the power button and get the menu with 'boot again' and 'shut off' Also i can use my camera, calculator, flashlight and the recorder.
i tried installing the firmware again (vol+ and vol- and power) but when i do that, i got an message saying 'installation failed'.
Does someone have an solution?
Im sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.

Same problem, fixed
Hey, I had the same problem; After a factory reset the phone got stuck on emui activation with a blank screen. I factory restarted again and skipped the wifi connection and during the whole process of activation kept the SIM card off the phone. After that, Gapps acted weird but I noticed that it was because the Google Play Services app was missing. Installed this one http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-8-4-89-release/google-play-services-8-4-89-2428711-240-android-apk-download/ and all started to work fine again, with Gapps at least. I know your issues was some time ago, but I hope this could be useful for you or any other who face the same problem. Have a good one.

Special thanks to rootjunky. I used part of his work to get this done. Enjoy
1. Startup priv
2. Connect to wifi
3 when priv shows checking connection then immediately it shows software update switch of router to stop connection with the priv
4 hit next till u get to the setup pattern screen, setup a pattern lock then restart phone
5 when phone restarts phone will be locked with the pattern u setup earlier.
6 launch the dialer button from th locked screen and dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter secret menu.
7 hit on usage statistics
8 hit on the back button and u will find yourself in settings
8.1 go to users and add user
8.2 enter any existing gmail account details
8.3 after completing setup for new user go back to settings>user and tap on owner
8.4 from here proceed as per step no. 9 and 10
9 scroll down to backup and reset
10 reset phone and when phone starts up, setup a new device. That's it
Special thanks to rootjunky for tips
Detailed explanation from 8.1 to 8.4 by me.

Problem with updating

Hey guys,
I’ve got problem with my “new” MX5. Today I’ve exchanged my phone for MX5 and I tried to update it to Flyme OS 5.1, because this smartphone is still on 4.5. And the problem is that I can’t access into recover mode neither I can’t upgrade from app and neither from File Manager…
When I restart my phone using Vol Up + Power Button it shows Meizu logo for a little while and it just shuts down.
Also deleting user data and cleaning up SD cart an whole data didn’t work. I had to clean everything from previous owner just by myself. He was surprised too.
When I want to reset phone using those options from storage, it just shuts down without any action afterwards.
And it had account so I can't log in onto mine Flyme acc.
Any ideas?

Mi 9T - Endless Update loop - Phone stuck

Hello all.
I have a really annoying problem with my Mi 9t - 100% Official rom.
It happened after an update that got stopped for some reason, 'update failure' the phone said.
After that i have been able to use may phone as usual, but the phone was always asking me to do the update.
So i click again on update and that happen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNQhNUj_d8k
So my phone is trying to do the update and fail and restart again and again after less than 1%.
I can't turn it off, all i can do is launch the Fastboot mode.
The other mode with vol+ and power manipulation is not working, i try with discharged phone to go in there to reset everything, but that's not working.
My phone is not unlocked so in fastboot i can't even try to reinstall a new rom.
I already more or less given up the idea to recover my phone data but if i could unlock the phone it could be great..
Does anyone have any idea what I could do? or do I really have an official bricked phone?
Thank you

If under guarantee, you should go to official service center
Otherwise, have you tried Factory reset from Settings (maybe, it will wipe what is blocking OTA)
Finally, if I understand correctly, you could still unlock your Bootloader and then try to flash update (zip/recovery firmware) by TWRP or even (tgz/fastboot firmware) by Mi Flash. The second option works for some bricks, returning to stock from custom ROMs, etc - hence, should IMO also work for you
Thanks for response.
I can't do a factory reset, it won't start and the menu with reset option that you can get by using volume and power is not reachable.
i can't unlock it neither because you need a working phone to do that...
I live in begium and there is no official xiaomi service center...
i'm feeling so screwed by Xiaomi >_<
You said it works with fastboot, so just try miflash or push official rom with fastboot
Yes, i can acces to fastboot, but i already try miflash and official rom but that's not working, my phone is lock by xiaomi because i didn't think i will need to do that one day !
( https://en.miui.com/unlock/) to make the process, of unlock, you need a working phone with a xiaomi ID, an app installed on it...
double post
You said it works with fastboot, so just try miflash or push official rom with fastboot
So, i manage to get the phone boot. i share the solution here for someone who could have the same issue.
Using fastboot command line : " fastboot continue "
and so MIUI has boot !

Xiaomi Mi TV stick

Reset my stick to factory settings. This deletes all apps & settings, which is ok. After reset the stick boots up in Android. When finished with Android it asks to press 2 buttons on the remote. There is no reaction, when I do this. I repeated the factory reset with the same result. Not much I can do, since I cannot enter settings. Asked Xiaomi for possible firmware, but no answer. Anyone has an idea?
Tried new remote, but same problem!
