Xiaomi TV Box 3 - WiFi connectivity issue solved !!!
After a week of nail biting situation, finally I fix WiFi connectivity issue of my Xiaomi Mi Box 3 (International Version). It is really a terrific situation for me as it was stop working normally after an unavoidable Android Oreo 8.0 Update.
And for me the situation was worst because I did a factory reset of my MI box from its Reset option. After that all the downloaded apps were gone, even I can't play any video from flash drive as there were not any player and File explorer apps left. So, the device was just a bricked device and totally useless until I got the solution.
Disclaimer: I will not be liable if any complication happened to your device, or get bricked for anything during doing the job. I tried it and worked for me, so am sharing. I have no any commercial plan regarding this post.
Now I am telling you the process which worked for me. You can try this way if you already faced the same WiFi connectivity issue after Oreo Update for MI Box 3. The simple think I did to recover my Xiaomi Mi Box was a factory reset. Yes, only a factory reset fix my device. It seems irritating to hear the solution as you already have tried this several times, right ?
But it was not that reset we can do normally from the Option from Remote controller.
I did a factory reset just pressing Ok and Back button simultaneously of my Xiaomi Mi Box Remote controller. But before doing this thing you have to follow another simple tricky process.
You have to unplug your device from electric connection by pulling out the connector jack. See the image for this process. Look carefully, you have to disconnect the power cable from back part of your MI Box. Before start the job, keep your Remote at your hand and be sure that its battery working normally.
Now start the process: Insert the Power connector jack. And second after you insert the power cord to the device, you have to press both Ok and Back button simultaneously (as shown on first two images) until the wipe data/Factory Reset option appears in the monitor or TV.
Use Up/down Keys to select your desired option. Then click Ok button after marking wipe data/Factory Reset option from the menu.
This process will take several minutes to complete the task. After that the welcome screen will appear. This may take some moments to get the set up my account option. Don't be panic. Connect the device to the WiFi network that has an excellent network. You need to try repeatedly for the first time to connect with WiFi. Don't be disappointed. Keep trying, it will connect with the network for sure.
When the connection established for the first time and all the necessary Apps will be updated, hopefully It will work then. :)
If you face any complication during the process. Please comment below.
