How to Sign Out of Google on Xiaomi TV: 5 Ways to Work

Are you trying to sell or transfer your Xiaomi Mi TV but can’t log out of your Google account? Or just want to change your profile but the system doesn’t allow you to? The problem of leaving your Google account on Xiaomi TVs is one of the most common among smart TV users. Unlike smartphones, where the procedure takes a couple of clicks, on Android TV or Google TV TV, the algorithm is often hidden in the depths of the menu or even blocked by the manufacturer.

In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to exit a Google account on Xiaomi TVs (including Mi TV 4S/5X, P1, A2, Q2 and others), and also tell you what to do if the standard methods do not work.

• 🔹 Where to look for account settings in PatchWall and Google firmware TV
• 🔹 How to bypass the lock if the "Off" button is inactive
• 🔹 What to do if you make mistakes like “I failed to delete my account"
• 🔹 How to completely lose TV if other methods do not help

Importantly, the procedure may vary depending on the firmware version and the regional settings of the TV, and if your model is released before 2020, some of the methods may not work, which we will mention.

1. Standard method: log out via Google account settings

On most modern Xiaomi TVs (2021 and later), logging out of your Google account is done via a standard menu, but the path to it is not always obvious.

1. Open the main menu of the TV by pressing the Home button on the remote.
2. Go to Settings (cog icon) → Accounts and Security (or Accounts on older models).
3. Select Google → click on your email address.
4. In the window that opens, find the Delete Account or Sign Out button (on some firmwares – Disable).
5. Confirm the action by entering the password from the account (if necessary).

⚠️ Note: PatchWall (Chinese version) TVs may not have the "Delete Account" option, in which case you can switch to the full reset method.

If the Delete account button is inactive (grey), try:

• 🔄 Reboot the TV (Power button for 10 seconds).
• 📶 Change Wi-Fi network to another (sometimes helps with synchronization glitches).
• 🔧 Update the firmware to the latest version (see section below).

2. Alternative method: deletion of the account through "Android Settings"

On Xiaomi TVs with Google TV (e.g. Mi TV Q2 2023), the path to account settings may be different.

1. Press the Home button on the remote → select Settings (cog icon in the upper right corner).
2. Go to the system → About TV → Legal information.
3. Click on the build number several times in a row until the notification “You became a developer” appears.
4. Go back to System → there's a new developer item. Go there.
5. Activate the USB Debugging option (if any) and search for Accounts.

Here you can see all the accounts you have linked to and delete the ones you don't need, which works even on blocked firmware, but requires a mouse connection (via USB or Bluetooth) for easy navigation.

If you don't have a mouse, use the TV Remote app on your smartphone (available for Android/iOS), which lets you control your cursor on your TV screen like a touchpad.

3. Reset to factory settings (if nothing helps)

If the standard methods don’t work, it will be hard reset, which will delete all data, including accounts, apps and settings. On Xiaomi TVs 2022-2026, the reset does not always delete the Google account due to Factory Reset Protection (FRP), in which case, after the reset, you will need to enter the data of the last associated account.

2. Select Reset to factory settings → Remove everything.
