El Xiaomi Mi 9 SE It is a premium or upper-mid-range phone that Xiaomi launched in February of this year. And a software problem is rendering several of these devices useless in Europe. We tell you in detail how to avoid it.
After launch of the Xiaomi Amazfit Bip, several devices are the ones that are lagging what it calls bricked (the word comes from English brick, it decir, brick, so it means that it is unusable, as if it were a brick), and ... what devices are being bricked?
The firmware that damages your Mi 9 SE
Of course, all of this has been caused by the latest version of the software, the MIUI 10.3.1.0 version of the European ROM that is arriving via OTA. So if you have the global version of the ROM you won't have to worry about anything.
This already happened a few months ago with the Mi A2 with an update that caused bootloop, and it seems that now history is repeating itself, but ... what can we do to avoid it?
Options for owners of the Mi 9 SE
If you have a Mi 9 SE do not worry, we will tell you the best you can do in this case. First of all, check if your phone has a Global ROM or has a European ROM, to look at it you will have to go to Settings> About phone> MIUI version, If you see that you have a global version, don't worry, update without fear.
In case you have the European version, that it becomes useless is a matter of luck. At the moment it seems that it has not affected Spain, but we're going to make sure we don't have that problem by turning off automatic updates.
Xiaomi we are sure that it will get a solution as quickly as possible, as is obvious, so it will not take long to have an update again without this problem. It is best to wait for another update and update your phone when you receive that and ignore the one we have now, since it could cause problems for you.
The popular Chinese firm will now have to solve it as quickly as possible and try not to lose its reputation, since as we have said it is not the first time that happens. And it is that leaving users without a phone is reason enough not to buy from the brand again. We are sure that they will solve it and that there will be no more problems, but Xiaomi has to take care of this aspect with more affection, although this is also happening to large companies like HTC.
We have to understand that operating systems have more and more things and therefore more possibilities of failure.
