Frequently asked questions

Will a hard reset delete everything on my Xiaomi Civi 1S?

Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Xiaomi Civi 1S to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.

Does resetting the Xiaomi Civi 1S 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 Civi 1S?

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 Civi 1S?

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.

What is recovery mode on my Xiaomi Civi 1S?

Recovery mode is a stripped-down menu outside the normal operating system, used to wipe data or apply updates when the Xiaomi Civi 1S won't boot normally. See the Enter Recovery Mode section above for how to reach it on this device.

Does my Xiaomi Civi 1S have a hard reset button?

Not a single dedicated button — the Xiaomi Civi 1S uses a button combination instead of one labeled "reset." See the Hard Reset section above for the exact keys to press.

How do I reset my Xiaomi Civi 1S?

Use the Hard Reset method above if your Xiaomi Civi 1S 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.
