So.
I received the OTA last night.
As I was downloading it, I went over to XDA and found that people were having problems with this update.
When I checked on this forum, there were people having the same problem but it seemed that some were not.
I looked on the internet to see if anyone from Xiaomi had addressed this problem and found none.
so I took the update about ten minutes ago and guess what?
Well, I'm writing from my One Plus 5T.
BOOTLOOP!!
I'm astonished.
It is connected to using the THEMES APP.
Everything looks fine, then you try and change your theme.
Suddenly you are booted into recovery and from there, a continuous BOOTLOOP, there's nothing you can do about it.
Listen, a bad update is possible, not everyone is perfect - but an official STABLE update that breaks your phone is UNACCEPTABLE.
I love Xiaomi and was quite perplexed at the complaints I was seeing - so yes, it's my fault, I went ahead with the update.
I couldn't find any information so I wanted to do this so that other people can save themselves.
I was an extreme Xiaomi fan....I was eagerly awaiting the Mi 7 Ceramic - I now am not. I have Xiaomi products everywhere, I've been telling all my friends and business partners about Xiaomi....
This is Global. The Mi6 is the standard-bearer for a global Xiaomi...but it won't work like this.
Never in my whole time on Android have I ever received an official update that broke the phone. Never.
Note: I am on the Stable track, all stock, never tampered with, OTA directly to my phone from Xiaomi. Directly.
This cannot happen.
Xiaomi needs to be careful here - they need to pull that update immediately AND reach out to those who cannot now use their phones.
It's a huge breach of trust and exactly the kind of thing which if not dealt with quickly, will spread globally and it will be very difficult to rectify.
Xiaomi is not the only manufacturer out there - mobile business 101 is you "...take your users with you."
I am astonished just looking at my phone loop, and loop, and loop. On an official update. Incredible.
Huawei/HTC/OnePlus...Vernee even: everyone's out there.
I might even just buy a Nokia and see what they're up to.
I am incredibly disappointed - and embarrassed.
So.
DO NOT UPDATE!
Or be like me and join the club. What do I use this phone for now? And it's less than 3 months old. A Ceramic Coaster?
I don't know what to say.
Incredible.
