Xiaomi Mi Box 3 (MDZ-16-AB) bootloop

by The_Wolf91

Hi, I'm getting bootloop (endless bootanimation) and I can't get to recovery holding "BACK" + "OK". This is how I do it:

  1. Unplug AC connector

  2. Hold "back" + "ok" buttons

  3. Plug AC connector

  4. Wait holding the two buttons

Is this method right? Because I always get that damn bootanimation... I've also try replacing remote's batteries with no success..

EDIT: solved with a male/male usb cable and Google USB Drivers.

With fat fumblefingers I often need to enlist a second set of hands to invoke recovery mode. Seems that the OK button needs to be mashed dead center and avoid any contact with surrounding ring.

There can also be delicate timing issues involved as to how long to keep buttons depressed.

I presume you ran adb reboot recovery

Good on you.
