Troubleshooting Mi Phone Starts on Mi Logo - Best Steps to Solve the Problem

If your Mi phone is stuck on the Mi logo during startup, this article will guide you through several steps to resolve the issue. From force restarts to factory resets, we cover comprehensive troubleshooting methods to get your device back on track. Additionally, we provide supplementary tips and alternatives for recovery, ensuring you can get your Mi phone working properly.

1. Force Restart

One of the most common solutions for temporary glitches is to perform a force restart. This involves holding down the Power button for about 10-15 seconds, which can often resolve the issue without affecting the overall system.

Ensure your phone has sufficient battery charge before proceeding. Low battery can cause startup issues. Hold the Power button until the phone restarts. This is often enough to clear minor software glitches.

2. Boot into Recovery Mode

If a force restart does not work, booting into recovery mode is the next step. This can help you access the system to perform critical actions like wiping cache partitions or resetting the phone.

Power off the phone completely. If it doesn’t respond, hold the Power button until it turns off. Simultaneously press and hold the Volume Up button and the Power button until the Mi logo appears. Release both buttons once the Mi Recovery screen appears.

3. Wipe Cache Partition

In the recovery menu, use the volume buttons to navigate to C: wipe cache partition or D: wipe data/factory reset. Select the appropriate option using the Power button, confirm the action, and wait for the process to complete.

4. Factory Reset (if necessary)

As a last resort, a factory reset may be required. This erases all data on the device, so ensure you have backed up important information.

Boot into recovery mode again. Go to C: wipe cache partition or D: wipe data/factory reset and select the option. Confirm the action and wait for the process to finish. After the reset, select Reboot system now to restart your device.

5. Seek Professional Help

If your phone still does not start up correctly after these steps, it may indicate a hardware issue or a more complex software problem. In such cases, contacting Mi customer support or visiting a service center is advisable.

Additional Tips

Make sure your phone has a sufficient battery charge before attempting these steps. A low battery can sometimes cause startup issues.

Overview of Alternative Solutions

For users who are experienced with advanced troubleshooting, alternative methods like flashing the stock ROM can be considered. Here’s a quick guide:

Ensure your phone is in a bootloop and you’re not confident about flashing, visit the Xiaomi service center. They will flash the stock software for a fee (Rs 150 plus tax). If you understand flashing and can use the Mi Flash Tool, download the latest stable ROM for your phone from the MiUI forums, and flash it with the Mi Flash Tool. Note: This will erase all your data and settings.
