Xiaomi MI 9: Hard Reset - these options are available

It may happen that your Xiaomi MI 9 stops working properly or you want to sell it. In this case, you should reset the device, as this process fixes most of the errors and also deletes all your data. A hard reset can be done in different ways.

How to perform a hard reset on the Xiaomi MI 9

You can trigger a hard reset either from the settings, from the recovery menu, or from an external program.

1. If you want to reset the smartphone via the settings, first go to "System" > "Advanced" > "Options" > "Reset".
2. Here you now further tap on "Erase all data" and the phone is reset.
3. If the MI 9 no longer turns on, the Android recovery mode helps. To do this, press and hold the power button and the volume down button until the manufacturer logo appears.
4. Now a menu appears where you can select "wipe data / factory reset". Confirm the option with the power button.
5. Generally, you should create a backup before resetting the MI 9 to factory settings. Dazu nutzen Sie am besten das kostenlose Programm FonePaw.
6. Aktivieren Sie den Debugging-Modus in Android und verbinden Sie das Telefon mit dem PC.
7. Nun können Sie in FonePaw auf „Sichern & Wiederherstellen“ klicken und ein Backup erstellen.
