Why reset your Xiaomi 15 Ultra?

A hard reset on the Xiaomi 15 Ultra fixes boot loops, forgotten PINs and persistent lag. The method above will wipe the device back to factory condition. Always back up your data first, as a reset cannot be undone.

Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Xiaomi 15 Ultra to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Xiaomi 15 Ultra 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 15 Ultra?

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 15 Ultra?

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 reset my Xiaomi 15 Ultra?

Use the Hard Reset method above if your Xiaomi 15 Ultra 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.

What is recovery mode on my Xiaomi 15 Ultra?

Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Xiaomi 15 Ultra won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.

How do I format my Xiaomi 15 Ultra?

"Formatting" and "factory resetting" mean the same thing for the Xiaomi 15 Ultra — both erase all data and restore default settings. Use whichever method above matches your situation.
