Soft Reset Mi TV Using Physical Buttons

If you don’t want to erase everything, you can perform a soft reset on your Mi TV. Doing so will eliminate minor issues and software glitches.

Click the Power button
  • Unplug the Mi TV from the power source.
  • Wait for 60 seconds for the Mi TV to drain the residual power.
  • Plug the TV back in and press the Power key to turn on the Mi TV.

That’s it. Your Mi TV has been soft reset. If it is still slow, you can hard reset it.

Hard Reset Mi TV Using the Remote App

Another user-friendly way to reset the Mi TV without a remote controller is to use the remote apps. Generally, the Mi TV runs on Android OS, Google OS, and Fire OS. So, refer to the table below to get the appropriate remote app based on the TV model you own.

Mi TV ModelSuitable Remote App
LCD/LED TVMi Remote controller – for TV [Play Store]
Fire TV Edition Smart TVAmazon Fire TV [Play Store / App Store]
Google or Android TVGoogle TV [Play Store / App Store]

After installing the app, connect your Mi TV to WiFi, which should be identical to the smartphone. Launch the remote app and pair it with your Mi TV. Then, open the remote interface and follow the process.

  • Mi Android TV – Open the Settings option → select Device Preference → choose Reset → tap Reset Again → click Erase Everything.
  • Mi Google TV – Launch Settings → select System → tap on About → hit the Reset option → click Factory Reset → choose Erase Everything.
  • Mi Fire TV – Open Settings → choose My Fire TV/Device & Software → tap on Reset to Factory Defaults → click Reset.

Use the IR Remote App to Factory Reset Mi TV

Like using the official remote apps, you can reset your Mi TV using third-party (IR) remote apps. To try this, ensure your smartphone has an in-built IR blaster. If yes, install the IR remote app from the Play Store on your Android device. Then, launch the app and pair it with your TV. Then, open the Mi TV settings and perform a factory reset.

If your Mi TV remote isn’t working, use any of the listed apps on your Android device as a substitute remote and reset the TV.

  • Mi Remote controller – for TV,
  • Xiaomi Mi Tv Remote
  • Xiaomi Mi TV Remote
  • MI TV Remote

Note: Users with the Mi TV running on Patchwall OS can use the IR remote app. Go to the home screen and click Settings → choose General Settings → select Reset → tap the Reset button → click Reset again.

Access the Secret Menu to Reset Mi TV to Factory Settings

If you wish to restore the Mi TV to defaults, you can factory reset it. We recommend unlocking the secret menu for this purpose, which is quick and easy. Initially, power off the Mi TV by ejecting its cord from the electric socket. On the Mi remote app, keep hold of the OK/SELECT and BACK buttons.

Note: For some Mi TVs, you need to hold the Home and Menu buttons to open the service menu.

Choose Wipe data/factory reset

While holding these buttons, plug the TV cord back in and turn the Mi TV on. You shall release both keys when you see the Android Recovery settings on the TV screen. Scroll down using the Down directional key. Once you choose the Wipe data/Factory reset option, click the OK key on the remote app. Your Mi TV will automatically restart if the reset process is completed.

Hard Reset the Mi TV Using the External Devices

Initially, connect an external device, like a keyboard or mouse, to your Mi TV’s USB port. Once a device is detected, a pointer will appear on the TV screen. Using that, go to settings and perform a factory reset on your Mi TV.

Reset Mi TV Without Remote using Keyboard or Mouse
BUY KEYBOARD OR MOUSE FROM AMAZON

Using any of the above techniques, you can reset your Mi TV without a master remote hassle-free. If you don’t like using remote alternatives, you need not worry. You can consider buying a new universal remote. Then, refer to the respective codes and program it with your Mi TV.

FAQ

1. Why is my Mi TV not turning on after the reset?

Check whether the cable is plugged firmly into the socket. Try connecting the Mi TV cord to a different socket and check if it turns on without issues.
