I had the misfortune of experiencing an “incurable” (or so I thought) boot loop that forced me to send for a replacement (near its end of its 2-year warranty) from Xiaomi late last year…

That meant I lost all my latest photos and messages not already backed up…

Another Mi 13 Pro I had on hand experienced the same boot loop.

In frustration and not wanting to lose any information, I searched the Internet to see what could be done…

Apparently, there was a potential fix – I tried it and it worked for me!

YMMV
