Xiaomi Mi Box S rebooting every few seconds

by Dual270x

I don't use it very often, but turned it on today to watch youtube and it said there is an update to android 9.0 Pie. So I ran the update, it said it would reboot several times, which it did, then it just kept rebooting. 10 times then 20 times then 30 or 40 times and I thought yea this isn't right. It would bring up the chromecast screen then restart then load it up again with a new background then restart, every few seconds. Then eventually it started loading into android TV and then restarting.

Is it broken? Did the android 9.0 break it? Should I do a factory reset or something? I just got this thing a few months ago and its already broken.

I guess I am the lucky one. I had the original and 2017 shield sold both as I was not using the gaming aspect or any special home theatre setup... Then i got a mi box s and its been running like a champ even after upgrade to 9... Just my 2 cents

Mi box software is really bad

Leave it unplugged for a while and try again.

How quickly does it reboot? If you can get into the rest option quickly enough I'd give it a try myself

I can't believe how many people have had this issue and still no response from Xiaomi! I had the same issue and had to use this guide:
