How to completely remove Mi-account from the TV Xiaomi M1803E6G: all working methods

Xiaomi Mi TV 4A with model number M1803E6G still remain popular due to the ratio of price and functionality. However, many users face the problem of forced binding to the Mi Account - even after resetting, the device can require data from the previous owner, which makes it difficult to sell, transfer the TV or if you just want to get rid of unnecessary bindings.

Unlike smartphones, where deleting a Mi Account often comes down to a few taps in settings, Xiaomi TVs have their own nuances: the manufacturer has limited the ability to self-delete an account through the interface, citing “protection against theft.” In practice, this means that a standard factory reset does not remove the binding to the Mi Account. In this article, we will examine all the current ways to delete an account, from official to technical workarounds.

It's important to understand that if the TV was bought by hand and the previous owner didn't untie his account, you'll need either his login details or access to developer mode and additional tools, without which some methods will not be available.

1.Official method: removal through settings of the TV

If you have access to a Mi Account tied to the TV, the easiest way is to untie it via the menu, which only works if you remember your login and password, or if you have access to an email/phone to recover.

Instructions:

1. Turn on the TV and go to Settings → Account and Security → Mi Account.
2. Select the option “Delete Account” (may be called “Exit” or “Untie Device”).
3. Enter the password from the Mi-account and confirm the action.
4. Reboot the TV through Settings → About TV → Reboot.

Once you reboot, the account will be delinked and you can log in to a different profile or use the TV without being tied, but this method will not work if:

• 🔒 You do not remember the login details for the Mi-account.
• 📵 Previous owner did not untie the device and does not provide access.
• 🚫 TV blocked after reset (requires the entry of data of the old account).

⚠️ Note: If the TV requires confirmation through SMS If you have email, and you don't have access to it, the official way to delete your account will be impossible.

2. factory reset: why it doesn't always work

Many users try to delete the Mi Account through a full Hard Reset, and Xiaomi TVs do this:

1. Open Settings → About TV → Reset settings.
2. Select “Erase all data” and confirm the action.
3. Wait until the process is complete (the TV will restart).

However, after the reset, you can see a screen that requires you to enter the data of the previous Mi Account, which is due to the Factory Reset Protection (FRP) feature that Xiaomi has implemented to protect against unauthorized use, so resetting the settings does not remove the link to the account - it only cleans user data.

What do we do in this case?

• 📞 Try contacting the previous owner and asking them to untie the TV through the web version of the Mi Account (Device Management section»).
• 🔧 If communication is not possible, go to technical methods (ADB, service-code).
• 🛠️ In extreme cases, you may need to flash the TV (more about this below).

💡

If the TV asks you to enter a password after you reset, but you don't remember it, try using a backup email or phone attached to your account. Sometimes Xiaomi allows you to restore access through them even without a password.

3. Delete Mi Account via ADB (for advanced users)

If the official methods didn’t work, you can try to delete your account via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a method that requires connecting your TV to your computer and executing commands in the terminal, and is suitable for Xiaomi M1803E6G models based on Android TV.

What you need:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB Tools.
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).
• ⚙️ Developer mode on the TV.

Step-by-step:

1. Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings → About TV. Find the line “Build Number” and click on it 7 times in a row until the notification “You became a developer” appears.
2. Enable USB Debugging: Return to Settings → Additional → Developer. Activate the options “Debug over USB” and “Allow OEM Unblocking” (if any).

adb devices

(Your device should be displayed)

adb shell


pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.account

adb reboot

If the command is successful, the Mi Account binding will be removed, but this method does not always work on newer firmware versions, where Xiaomi has blocked the ability to remove system applications through ADB.

⚠️ Attention: Misuse of the right ADB If you are not sure about your actions, it is better to consult a specialist or use other methods.

Install ADB Tools on PC|Enable the Developer Mode on the TV|Activate debugging by USB|Connect the TV to the PC with the original cable|Check device detection by adb devices-->

4.Use of service codes to bypass locking

On some Xiaomi TVs (including the M1803E6G model), you can try to bypass the Mi Account lock with service codes, which allow you to access hidden menus where you can sometimes reset your account.

Method 1: Code for resetting FRP

1. On the lock screen (where you need to enter your Mi Account data), enter the code: ##3646633## (this is a universal engineering code for MediaTek-based devices).
2. If the code works, you'll be taken to Engineer Mode. Go to Connectivity → Wi-Fi and try to connect to the network.
3. Return to the basic settings and reset to the factory settings.

Method 2: Alternative codes

Try the following combinations (may vary depending on the firmware version):

• 🔢 ##7378423## - service menu (for some Xiaomi models).
• 🔢 ##4636## - system information (sometimes allows you to bypass the lock).
• 🔢 ##284## - Connection test (can help with network reset).

Note that service codes don’t guarantee 100% results. On new firmware, Xiaomi often blocks access to the engineering menu, especially if the TV has been updated after 2020.

5. TV flashing: an extreme method

If all previous methods failed, then flashing the TV will delete all data, including the link to the Mi Account, but caution is needed - wrong actions can turn the TV into a brick.

What you need:

• 💾 Official firmware for Xiaomi Mi TV 4A (M1803E6G) (You can download it at Xiaomifirmware.com).
• 🖥️ Computer with Mi Flash Tool or Fastboot.
• 🔌 USB-cable (preferably original).
• 🔧 Screwdriver for disassembling the hull (if you need access to ports).

Step-by-step:

1. Download the firmware for your model (pay attention to the version - for example, M1803E6G_global or M1803E6G_cn).
2. Unpack the archive with the firmware in a folder on the computer.
3. Connect the TV to your PC in Fastboot mode: Turn off the TV. Press the Volume down button. + Power on the remote or body (for M1803E6G It's usually a combination on the back. USB-cable to the port on the TV (you may need to remove the back cover).

Mi Flash Tool

Flash

Wait until the process is completed (usually 5-10 minutes).

After flashing the TV, it will load as new, without being linked to the Mi Account.

• ⚠️ Risk of “bricking” – if the firmware is picked up incorrectly, the TV may stop turning on.
• 🔄 The guarantee may be lost (if it is still valid).
• 📥 After the firmware will require reconfiguration of all parameters.

💡

Flashing is the most reliable way to delete a Mi Account, but it's also the riskiest, and only use it if other methods have failed and you're confident in what you're doing.

6. Alternative solutions: what to do if nothing helps

If none of the methods worked, consider the following options:

1. Appeal in support of Xiaomi

You can try to contact Xiaomi’s official support and provide proof of purchase (check, purchase agreement). Sometimes they help unlock the device if you confirm that you are the rightful owner. However, the chances are slim – Xiaomi rarely meets in such cases.

2. Use of third-party services

There are services on the Internet that offer deletion of a Mi Account for a fee (usually 500-2000 rubles), they use their own methods of bypassing the lock, including access to Xiaomi databases.

• 💰 Possible fraud (payment without result).
• 🔓 Unguaranteed results (some services simply replay the TV).
• 🛡️ Data breach risk (if you need access to your account).

3.Selling TV "as is"

If unlocking seems too difficult, you can sell a TV marked “tied to a Mi Account” and buy it at a discounted price (usually 30-50% below market value) in the secondary market.

4.Use without account

Some features of the Xiaomi M1803E6G TV work without being tied to the Mi Account:

• 📺 Viewing TV through an antenna or HDMI.
• 🎮 Connecting game consoles, media players.
• 🌐 Use of the browser (if not blocked).

However, access to Mi Store, cloud services and some apps will be limited.
