How to Fix Soft Bricked HyperOS on Xiaomi Devices (Fix Bootloop)

HyperOS is the all-new operating system from the Chinese smartphone OEM Xiaomi for its eligible devices across the globe. It will bring a seamless software-using experience among smartphones, smart home devices, and smart cars to create an ecosystem. Meanwhile, interested Xiaomi, Redmi, and POCO device owners are eager to install the HyperOS firmware and enjoy the latest software features or improvements. However, some users aren’t happy because updating or flashing to the HyperOS leads to the bricked issue. That’s why we’ve come up with a guide to fix Bricked HyperOS on Xiaomi devices.

As per reports, affected owners are receiving an error notice on the device screen that says “The system has been destroyed.” Sometimes the boot screen gets stuck on the Xiaomi HyperOS logo for a couple of users. Well, such an issue may occur at your end due to multiple reasons for example; corrupted firmware files, incompatible applications, third-party system UI plug-in installation, an incorrect method to flash/update HyperOS, etc. In that case, your device will lead to soft brick status.

Now, affected owners are forced to downgrade the HyperOS firmware to the MIUI 14 on their devices to easily fix the bricked or stuck-in bootloop issue. However, several users are not able to flash the fastboot firmware of MIUI 14 to downgrade HyperOS due to some errors. That means it doesn’t seem easy enough right now to use the flashing method. So, you should go with the basic fix without any more delay. In case, this guide doesn’t help, you can flash the fastboot firmware manually.

How to Unbrick HyperOS on Xiaomi Devices

Note

Before jumping into the downgrade method, if you’ve recently installed any plugin on your Xiaomi HyperOS device and the bootloop issue starts onwards then make sure to uninstall updates of the System UI Plug-in. Go to Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > Three dots icon on the top right side > Show all apps > Search for System UI Plug-in > Tap on it to open the App Info > Tap on Uninstall Updates and confirm the changes. Next, you can try booting your handset to check for the potential soft brick or bootloop issue.
