According to Xiaomi communities on Reddit, 4PDA and Mi Community, the following devices were affected by the disruptions:

  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Xiaomi 14 Ultra โ€“ camera failures and spontaneous reboots after upgrading to the newest MIUI 15.0.4.0
  • ๐Ÿ”ฅ Redmi Note 13 Pro+ โ€” Network loss (sim card not identified) and errors in Google Play Services
  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ POCO F6 Pro - "black screen" after charging, does not respond to the power button
  • โšก Xiaomi 13T โ€” hanging on the logo when turned on, resetting to factory settings does not help
  • ๐Ÿ“‰ Redmi 12 โ€“ slow work, lags in the interface, applications fly out

Interestingly, owners of older models (such as the Xiaomi Mi 11 or Redmi Note 10) complain less often โ€” probably not affected by the latest MIUI updates, which became a catalyst for problems, but the flagships of 2023-2026, which are actively receiving security patches, were affected first.

According to the complaint analysis, 47% of users report problems with an automatic firmware update that came in the night; another 31% report problems on the side of Xiaomi servers (such as Mi Cloud or activation services) and others report hardware problems, but the share is minimal at around 5%.

Reason. โ„–1: Failed update MIUI 15.0.4.0 and 15.0.3.0

The main culprit of today's chaos is MIUI 15.0.4.0 (and partially 15.0.3.0), which began to spread on June 10, 2026, and users report that after its installation:

  • ๐Ÿ”„ The phone fixates on the logo MI and no longer load.
  • ๐Ÿ“ต The mobile network disappears (the SIM card is not defined or shows "Emergency Calls Only").
  • ๐Ÿ›‘ Google Play Services, Mi Account and Security Apps Drop Out Immediately After Launch.
  • ๐Ÿ”‹ Quickly sinks the battery (discharge in 1-2 hours with minimal load).

The problem is compounded by the fact that Xiaomi has not yet withdrawn the problematic update, and it continues to arrive in the background. Moreover, trying to roll back to the previous version through Recovery often leads to a bootloader lock (this MIUI version cannot be installed on this device).

โš ๏ธ Warning: If your phone doesnโ€™t turn on at all after the upgrade (even when charging, the indicator doesnโ€™t burn), donโ€™t try to disassemble it right away or carry it to the service.First check the alternative ways of turning on the device described in the section below โ€“ in 60% of cases, this helps bring the device back to life without repair.

If the phone is stuck on the logo, try holding the power button 15-20 seconds before the vibration, and sometimes it works even when it seems completely dead.

How to fix a Xiaomi phone that doesnโ€™t turn on after an update

If your smartphone is stuck on the logo, does not respond to buttons or went to bootloop (infinite reboot), follow this instruction:

Hold the power button 20.+ seconds before vibration|Connect to charging for 30 minutes (try turning on every 5 minutes)|Squeeze the power. + Volume up for entrance to Recovery|If you have a reaction, select Wipe Data (reset)|If there is no reaction, connect to your PC and use the Mi Flash Tool.-->

If the phone responds to buttons but does not load beyond the logo:

  1. Press Power + Volume up for 10-15 seconds until the Recovery menu appears.
  2. Select Wipe Data โ†’ Wipe All Data (this will erase all data, but often solves the problem).
  3. After the reset, try rebooting. If it doesn't work, repeat step 1 and select Reboot to Bootloader, and then run the phone through the Mi Flash Tool.

If the phone does not respond at all (no vibration, no charging indicator is lit):

  • Connect it to the original charger and leave it for 30 to 60 minutes. Sometimes the power controller locks and it takes time for it to wake up.
  • Try another cable and power supply - perhaps the problem is charging, not the phone.
  • If the charging indicator is on fire but the phone is not turning on, hold Power + Volume down for 10 seconds for a forced reboot.

โš ๏ธ Note: Do not use unofficial firmware (for example, with a XDA Developers) to restore work if they are not sure of their actions. In recent versions, Xiaomi blocks the bootloader when uncertified software is detected, and the phone can turn into a โ€œbrickโ€ without the possibility of repair even in a service center.

Network loss and SIM card errors: how to get back the connection

Many users today are faced with the fact that the phone does not see the SIM card or shows the message "Emergency Calls Only".

  3. Select Update and wait for the process to be completed.
  4. Reboot the phone.

If after resetting the mobile network settings the problem remained, try: 1. Insert the SIM card in another phone and check its performance. 2. Update MIUI to the latest version through Settings โ†’ System Update (if the phone is at least turned on). 3. If the SIM card works in another device, but not in Xiaomi โ€“ contact the service: perhaps damaged slot or antenna module.

Problems with Google Play Services and App Departures

Another massive problem today is errors in Google Play Services that lead to:

  • ๐Ÿšซ Application departures (WhatsApp, Telegram, Google Maps).
  • ๐Ÿ”„ The endless reboot of Google services.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ Google Play Services has stopped".

The reason is a conflict between the latest version of MIUI 15 and the updated Google services.

  1. Clear the cache: Settings โ†’ Apps โ†’ App management โ†’ Google Play Services โ†’ Storage โ†’ Clear the cache
  2. Reverse Updates: Settings โ†’ Annexes โ†’ Google Play Services โ†’ โ‹ฎ โ†’ Remove updates
  3. Reinstall Services: Download the latest version of APKMirror and install manually

If the errors continue, try turning off battery optimization for Google Play Services:

  1. Go to Settings โ†’ Battery and Performance โ†’ Battery Optimization.
  2. Find Google Play Services in the list.
  3. Choose No Limits.

If after all the manipulations, Google Play Services errors remain, most likely the problem is on the server side of Google.

  • ๐Ÿ”‹ Background activity of system processes (miui.analytics, com.xiaomi.discover).

If nothing works, try to roll back to the previous firmware version via the Mi Flash Tool.

  1. Download the official firmware for your model from the MIUI Download website.
  2. Unpack the archive and place the folder in the root of the C: disk.
  3. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode (clip Power + Volume down).
