My friend came to me with his Xiaomi Mi Note that he was planning to sell,
but was unable to reset through the menus. I managed to reset it with fastboot -w
whilst holding I think ‘Volume down’ and the ‘Power button’ from a cold
boot.
Using android-sdk-platform-tools /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
on
Archlinux. Here’s the log:
~$ fastboot -w
