Question Mi Band 6 bricked

[MASVA]

Flashed firmware 1.0.4.18 + v46 resources, all ok
Yesterday flashed 1.0.4.20 firmware, without resources, same version
After few minutes, connection with phone was lost
I can't pair band with phone anymore
Band is visible in phone's Bluetooth settings but not connected
I have auth key but after factory reset MAC address is different and can't use that one
Any solutions?

Saddly I don't have any solution for you, the only thing to do is wait for next Mi Fit update and see, or use device warranty to return device.

But the funny thing is, i am still able to use my miband 6 as Bluetooth device to unlock phone
Oh Magical unicorn, do you know how to unzip apk file ?

decompile ?
try with APK Easy Tool v1.59.2 on xda

That's what happened for me also few weeks ago and warranty to return the device was the solution for me.

Firstly I bricked it like OP shows us, but then I was trying to recovery it and then hard bricked that (black screen and no indication in bluetooth menu or whatsoever). Then that warranty stuff.

Are there any methods to have authorization key for miband 6 without using mi fit ?
I am thinking of connecting the miband 6 to gadgetbridge

Free my band: Get Auth key alternative method [phone ROOT required]

I have the same problem. Mi Band can be detected by phone and "scanned" using BLE scanner tools, but MiFit cannot connect to it. I had saved the AUTH key and used it to connect through Notify successfully, but the update process could not initiate. I also tried the alternative methods with no success. So, my last solution was to try resetting the band and use MiFit again. That didn't work either.

I tried using older MiFit versions. MiFit 4.10.0 cannot detect MiBand6 (as expected), but MiFit 5.0.0 detects it but it cannot pair to it (just like v5.1.0).

So, I'm waiting for an update of MiFit that would be compatible with the "new" connection method. Let's hope it's a new connection method and not an error in the firmware that rendered our band useless!

Here's an image of BLE scanner that can detect and connect to the band:

Install the "BLE Scanner" app from Play Store.

You can change the format from .apk to .zip and extract it actually works perfectly.

who can fix this problem?

Test It:

This procedure deletes your account and all data ...

https://user.huami.com/hm_account/2...&platform_app=com.xiaomi.hm.health&v=s3.1.1#/

Log in with this link with your band account details and delete accounts with data ...

Mi fit clears data and cache from phone settings on application manager ...

Open mi fit and create a new Mi account with Arabic region or you can try by creating a Google account ...

In the active bluetooth and gps phone and to fit all the permissions given, try to connect the band

The band must be charged enough ...

This happened to me once. What I did was charging the band to 100%. Then leave the band for a few hours not being used. Then try to reconnect. The problem was solved.

 

[Amazband5]

I can't find Arabic region

The region doesn't matter. You still can use it.

I mean Arabic doesn't appear

I found the arabic region, then I registered, then I tried to connect, but that effort couldn't help me, my miband 6 was unable to be repaired
Do you have any unsimilar methods ?
Thank you for you advice

I think try creating an account under mainland china and then connect it there and then logout and login with the arabic account and pair it there.

 

[Amazband5]

I have a better way either you download Zepp and login with same Mi Fir credentials or download Mi Fit on another device.

Hi,
Today, Xiaomi answers me, and here are the content ( advices ) View attachment 16858

have you done it yet?

 

[NiTroGen]

It seems that Xiaomi gave you an automated response and that this support team is not aware of this issue. I've already tried all of these suggestions before with no luck.

We have no connection issues, we have pairing issues with MiFit. There is a communication error between the band and the software that prevents them from pairing.

Let's hope that this is a new communication protocol for the next firmware/software version and the next release of MiFit will solve our problem.
