Why reset your Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus?

Frequently asked questions
Will a hard reset delete everything on my Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus?
Yes. A hard reset (also called a factory reset) erases all apps, photos, messages, and accounts, returning the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus to its out-of-box state. Back up anything you want to keep before starting.
Does resetting the Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus 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 Mi 5s Plus?
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 Mi 5s Plus?
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.
