However, the procedure has nuances depending on the version of MIUI, model (Xiaomi 11, 11 Pro, 11T or 11 Lite) and even the firmware region. In this article, we will analyze all the current methods, from standard removal through settings to bypassing protection after reset.
Itβs important to understand that simply deleting an account through the Settings β Accounts menu doesnβt always work. For example, if the phone was reset to factory settings, the system may require you to enter your previous Google account (thatβs FRP). And on some versions of MIUI 13/14, the deletion option is completely hidden. Weβll look at workarounds, including using ADB and Fastboot mode.

3. FRP bypass on Xiaomi 11 via ADB (no root)
This method works on most Xiaomi 11 models (including the 11T Pro and 11 Lite 5G NE) with MIUI 12.5/13.It does not require superuser rights, but a computer with drivers and an ADB tool installed is required.
Step-by-step:

4. FRP reset via Fastboot (for power users)
If the ADB didnβt help and the phone is locked, the method remains via Fastboot.It is suitable for all Xiaomi 11 models, but requires an unlocked bootloader. If the bootloader is blocked, you will first have to unlock it through the official Mi Unlock Tool tool (this will take 7-15 days to wait for confirmation from Xiaomi).

If neither method works, there are two options:
| Method | Pluses | Cons | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specialized utilities (e.g. Mi FRP Tool, GSM Flasher) | They work on most models and do not require deep knowledge. | Often paid, the risk of installing malware | 500 to 3,000. β½ |
| Contacting the service center | Guaranteed result, safe for the device | Long (from 1 day), expensive, requires documents on the phone | 1500 to 5000. β½ |

When choosing a utility, pay attention to:
- π Forum feedback (4PDA, XDA-Developers).
- π‘οΈ Digital signature (non-pirate versions).
- π Update (relevance to your version) MIUI).
β οΈ Note: Using unofficial utilities can lead to blocking IMEI or damage to firmware. Before use, back up the data (if the phone is partially operational).
6. Frequent mistakes and how to avoid them
When deleting a Google account, users often face typical problems:
- π "Account is not deleted" in settings: Check if sync with Mi Cloud is enabled. Turn it off in Settings β Accounts. β Mi Account.
- π "The device is locked after reset: This FRP. Do not try to enter random accounts β after 5 unsuccessful attempts, the phone will be locked for 24 hours.
- π» "ADB Do not see device": Install drivers manually through Device Manager (select Android) ADB Interface).
- β‘ "Phone discharged during the procedure: Xiaomi 11 reset FRP Fastboot can be used at 1% charge, but ADB-The method requires a minimum of 30%.
Another common mistake is to try to bypass FRP through firmware reflashing, and newer versions of MIUI won't work, because even after custom firmware is installed, the lock may remain, except for firmware via EDL, but it requires Xiaomi to log in.
