How to Ban Xiaomi Device in StandOff 2: 7 Proven Ways

The StandOff 2 ban on Xiaomi devices is a common problem that players face after using cheats, modified APKs or suspicious in-game activity. Unlike the account ban, the lock on the device is tied to Google Advertising ID, IMEI or other hardware identifiers, making it technically difficult to bypass the ban, but there are legal and semi-legal ways to regain access to the game without buying a new phone.

In this article, we will discuss 7 working methods for unblocking Xiaomi devices (including Redmi, POCO and Mi models) that are relevant for 2026. Importantly, some methods require root rights or resetting, which may affect the warranty, we will also analyze the risks of each method and give recommendations for preventing re-blocking.

1.Why is Xiaomi more likely to be banned in StandOff 2?

Xiaomi devices are blocked in StandOff 2 more often than other brands for three key reasons:

• 🔍 MIUI and background processes: Firmware MIUI aggressively optimizes the operation of applications, which is sometimes perceived by anticheaters as suspicious activity (for example, forced closure of the game).
• 📱 Popularity among cheaters: cheap models of Redmi and POCO They are often used to test cheats, which is why they are used. IMEI Google ID blacklist.
• 🔄 Common hardware identifiers: On budget Xiaomi devices, Android is often repeated ID, SSAID and other labels, which leads to mass banams.

According to the player community, up to 30% of the bans in StandOff 2 are on Xiaomi devices with MIUI 12-14 firmware, while owners of flagship models (for example, Xiaomi 13 Ultra or Black Shark) face problems less often – probably due to the more stable operation of the anticheat on powerful hardware.

⚠️ Note: If your device is banned after upgrading to StandOff 2 to 0.45.0+, Don't try to change immediately. IMEI or Google down ID. First, check if it is a temporary ban (usually lasts 1-7 days).

2. Method 1: Reset Google Advertising ID (without root)

The safest way to unblock is to change the Google Advertising ID (GAID), which many mobile game banners are attached to, which works on 70% of Xiaomi devices and does not require root rights.

Instructions:

1. Open Settings → Google → Advertising.
2. Click Reset Advertising ID.
3. Reset the device.
4. Delete the game and clear the cache through Settings → Apps → StandOff 2 → Storage → Clear the cache.
5. Install the game again (preferably from a different Google account).

If the game does not start after resetting GAID, try it additionally:

• 📌 Delete all Google accounts from your device and add a new one.
• 📌 Use it. VPN First run (we recommend ProtonVPN or Warp).
• 📌 Disable Mi-account in settings (sometimes it transmits device data).

Method 2: Change the IMEI (requires root or engineering menu)

Changing IMEI is a radical method that can bypass the ban 90 percent of the time, but has serious risks, and on Xiaomi devices, there are two ways to do this:

1. Through the engineering menu (no root): ##3646633## → Connectivity → CDS Information → Radio Information → Phone 1 → Enter AT+EGMR=1.7,” NEW IMEI” Only runs on Qualcomm (Snapdragon) processors.
2. Through apps (with root): Install Xposed IMEI Changer or Chamelephon from the XDA Store.

Important: After the change in IMEI:

• 🔄 Reset the device.
• 🔄 Reset network settings (Settings) → SIM-maps and mobile networks → Resetting settings).
• 🔄 Don’t use your old Google account for the first 3 days.

⚠️ Attention: Change IMEI violates the laws of some countries (for example, in Russia it is qualified as "illegal interference with the work of communication means" under article 13.3 of the administrative code). IMEI It can cause network loss or a “brick” of the device.

Method 3: Using an emulator (bypassing a ban on a PC)

If you can't unblock the Xiaomi device, you can play through an Android emulator on a PC, which is legal and doesn't require any interference with the phone's hardware.

Best Emulators for StandOff 2:

• 🖥️ BlueStacks 5 (optimized for games, supports graphics settings).
• 🖥️ LDPlayer (Best Compatibility with StandOff 2, Low Ping).
• 🖥️ MuMu Player (recommended for weak PCs).

Instructions for setting:

2. Install StandOff 2 via Google Play inside the emulator.
3. In the emulator settings, select a device with other characteristics (for example, Samsung Galaxy S22 instead of Xiaomi).
4. Connect to a new Google account.
5. Use a VPN when you first start up (e.g. NordVPN with servers in Europe).

- Processor: 4 cores

This will reduce the risk of anti-cheat detection.-->

5. Method 4: Reset to factory settings (Hard Reset)

Hard Reset helps 40 to 50 percent of the time if the ban was caused by software tags (such as game cache or MIUI conflicts), but it erases all data from the device, including photos and apps.

How to make Hard Reset on Xiaomi:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Press the Power button + Volume up until the Mi logo appears.
3. From the Recovery menu, select Wipe Data → Wipe All Data.

Method 5: Replace Android ID and other identifiers (for advanced ones)

If previous methods didn’t work, you can try changing deep hardware identifiers: Android ID, SSAID, Mac address Wi-Fi. This requires root rights or use ADB.

List of identifiers that are worth resetting:

• 🔑 Android ID (Changes to adb shell settings put secure android_id NEW_ID).
• 🔑 SSAID (requires file editing /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db).
• 🔑 Mac address Wi-Fi (changed via adb shell ip link set) wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX).

Step-by-step instructions for Android ID:

1. Connect the device to the PC and enable debugging over USB.
2. Open the command line and type: adb shell su settings put secure android_id $(openssl rand -hex 8)
3. Reset the device.

To change the Mac address of Wi-Fi:

1. Install Terminal Emulator from Google Play.
2. Enter the commands: su ip link set wlan0 down ip link set wlan0 address 02:1A:11:XX:XX:XX ip link set wlan0 up Replace XX:XX:XX by random values.

💡

Changing Android ID and SSAID is the most effective way to bypass the ban on the device, but requires root rights. Without them, the StandOff 2 anti-cheat can detect the substitution and issue a permanent ban.

7. Method 6: Appealing for StandOff 2

If you are sure that the ban was issued incorrectly (for example, after a game update or a MIUI failure), you can try to appeal the blocking through support. The method is about 15-20% successful, but it does not require technical manipulation.

How to write in support of:

1. Open the official StandOff 2 website or email support@standoff2.com.
2. Indicate: 📝 ID Devices (find in game settings). 📝 Reason for Ban (if known). 📝 Screenshots of the error. 📝 Phone model (e.g. Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro)+ 5G).

Explain that you did not use cheats (if true).

Example of the text of the appeal:

Hello! My Xiaomi POCO F4 (IMEI: 123456789012345) device was banned from StandOff 2 for no reason. I didn't use modified APKs or cheats. Please check the logs and unblock the device. I'm attaching the error screenshots and account details. With respect, [your name].

Support usually responds within 3-7 days. If the answer is no, try other methods in this article.

8. Method 7: Buying a new device (extreme case)

If all methods are exhausted and the game still does not start, there are two options:

1. Buy a new smartphone (not necessarily Xiaomi – for example, Samsung or Realme are less likely to fall under the ban).
2. Use an old device under another account (for example, for resource pharma).

The owners of Xiaomi 12/13 and Black Shark have less problems.
