Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Xiaomi 12X?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Xiaomi 12X to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Xiaomi 12X remove the SIM lock or carrier lock?
No. A hard or factory reset only clears data and settings — it doesn't remove a carrier/SIM lock, which is tied to the device's IMEI at the network level. You'd need to contact your carrier for an unlock.
How long does a factory reset take on the Xiaomi 12X?
Typically a few minutes, though it can take longer on older or heavily used devices as more stored data has to be wiped.
Will I need my Google account password after resetting the Xiaomi 12X?
Yes, if Factory Reset Protection (FRP) is enabled. Android (and HarmonyOS 2.x devices with Google services) will ask for the last signed-in Google account after a reset — make sure you know that password first.
Can I factory reset my Xiaomi 12X without the password?
Yes — resetting through recovery mode doesn't require your lock screen password, since it bypasses the login screen entirely. That said, Factory Reset Protection may still ask for your Google account credentials afterward as an anti-theft measure.
Does my Xiaomi 12X have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Xiaomi 12X uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
How do I format my Xiaomi 12X?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Xiaomi 12X — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
