Remote issue is the onlyone issue ?

If yes, please to connect a USB mouse and unpair the remote into the parameters and try this:

Otherwise, Flash is risky and a factory reset can be better for your remote issue:
- Remove power plug from Mibox.
- Reconnect by simultaneously pressing the remote control (large central round button plus the arrow below) for 5/10 seconds
- Go into recovery menu and make "wipe data/factory reset" (AND ONLY THIS ONE):

- From recovery menu, select "power off"
- Remove power plug from Mibox, wait 30s and reconnect the power-supply to restart (1st step will be the pairing of the remote)

I have exactly the same problem. Bricked MDZ-22-AB after update. Flashed with the Xiaomi_Mi_Box_S_MDZ-22-AB_oneday_r363.img 8.1 android. Remote workef fine, it had to be paired within ~20cm from the device. Bluetooth does work. WiFi does not work, 02:00:00:00:00:00 Mac Address, and WiFi cannot be turned on.

Grandman: As I understand, upgrading in this situation to 9 didn't help, right ?
Have you tried any USB Ethernet/WiFi adapters ?

Any ideas, what can be done/tried next ?
Maybe flashing directly to android 9 using this procedure would be an idea ?

Hello, I was trying to reinstall using the USB Burning Tool and I had unchecked the "erase bootloader" option, but I restarted the application because it is not getting into flash mode, and I ended up running the flash with the option checked, now bluetooth, wifi do not work . Is there a way to recover?

    It is NOT possible to easily downgrade firmware using recovery once upgraded.
    Downgrading requires a special cable and opening of the box.

    Added r3934 for Mi Box 3
    Changelog: 1) Improve system performance 2) Update security patch 3) Change boot animation

    New features include PatchWall and Alphonso which are ACR (Automatic Content Recognition).

    To disable the extra bloat/spyware first enable Developer options:
    Settings ⭢ Device preferences ⭢ About, Press Build at the bottom several times.
    Settings ⭢ Device preferences ⭢ Developer options ⭢ Enable USB debugging
    adb connect <mi box ip address>

    Run these commands in ADB to disable bloat:
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mitv.tvhome.atv
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.mitv.updateservice
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 tv.alphonso.alphonso_eula
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.tv.analytics
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mitv.tvhome.michannel
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.xiaomi.android.tvsetup.partnercustomizer

    Other packages which I've found aren't needed:
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 mitv.service
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mitv.milinkservice
    adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mitv.download.service

    Update:
    I've sucessfully unbricked it the second time. First time I got an error in chinese about u-boot, fix: just unplug the power, short again the pin with shield and connect the power back, don't touch anything in the app on PC.
    Then I've copied the 8.1 update.zip to USB, updated it from recovery, disconnected the USB, copied the android 9 (3933) update.zip and updated again (it rebooted to install the new recovery and I started the update to 3933 again). The box is working properly, wifi is ok, the serial number and netflix keys are present.
    Just don't forget to untick the "erase bootloader" and "overwrite keys" in the USB Burning Tool.
