How to Use ADB Commands on Xiaomi Phone to Remove Bloatware Without Root

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a powerful command-line tool that lets you control your Xiaomi phone from a PC — no root required. It is the safest way to remove unwanted pre-installed apps and system ads on HyperOS.

What You Need

A Windows, Mac, or Linux PC
A USB-C cable
Your Xiaomi phone with Developer Options enabled

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging

1. Go to Settings → About phone → MIUI/HyperOS version and tap it 7 times to unlock Developer Options.
2. Go to Settings → Additional settings → Developer options.
3. Toggle on USB debugging.

Step 2: Install ADB on Your PC

Download Android Platform Tools from the official Android developer site. Extract the ZIP to a folder (e.g., C:db).

Step 3: Connect Your Phone

1. Plug your phone into the PC via USB.
2. Select File Transfer (MTP) on the phone prompt.
3. Open a command prompt/terminal in the ADB folder and type:
adb devices
4. Tap Allow on the phone's USB debugging prompt. Your device ID should appear.

Step 4: Remove Bloatware

Use the command below to uninstall any package (replace the package name):
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.cleanmaster

Common Xiaomi Bloatware Package Names

App Name	Package Name
Mi Browser	com.mi.globalbrowser
GetApps	com.xiaomi.mipicks
Mi Video	com.miui.videoplayer
Mi Music	com.miui.player
Mi Pay	com.mipay.wallet
Mi Credit	com.xiaomi.micreditindia

Tip: If you accidentally remove a system app, restore it with:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.package.name

Safety Rules

Only remove third-party or service apps — never remove critical system components.
Keep a list of everything you uninstall.
Tools like UAD-ng (Universal Android Debloater) provide a safe, curated list with GUI.

Using ADB is completely reversible, making it the recommended debloat method for Xiaomi users on any ROM.
