Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Xiaomi 13T?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Xiaomi 13T to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Xiaomi 13T 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 13T?
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 13T?
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.
How do I format my Xiaomi 13T?
"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Xiaomi 13T — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
How do I reset my Xiaomi 13T?
Use the Hard Reset method above if your Xiaomi 13T is frozen or won't respond, or the Factory Reset method if the screen still works normally — both are covered step by step on this page.
Does my Xiaomi 13T have a hard reset button?
Not a single dedicated button — the Xiaomi 13T uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.
