[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ronnie7:
Hi, pretty much what the title suggests: I've got a brand new Redmi Note 10 Pro (Android 11, locked bootloader, no root, no custom ROM), and I am configuring it by removing bloatware and so on, but after uninstalling some (a lot of, really) stuff, if I restart the device, it gets stuck in a bootloop: Redmi logo -> MIUI logo (hangs here) -> Redmi logo -> MIUI Recovery Menu. 'Restart' and 'Boot on safe mode options' from the Menu just play the loop again. However, if I don't turn off the device in any way, it functions normally, I'm pretty sure, although I did not test it extensively. But that's unsustainable in the long run, I won't be able to keep it from turning off forever. That's why I tested the restart right off the bat, to check if the uninstalls harmed the device in any way, and, well, I guess they did. Fortunately, I'm comfortable doing a factory reset since I'm just testing it out for now.

So, this is the original list of packages I unisnstalled:

ackage:com.miui.analytics

package:com.google.android.feedback

package:com.google.android.marvin.talkback

package:com.google.android.projection.gearhead

package:com.google.android.apps.googleassistant

package:com.google.android.apps.wellbeing

package:com.android.bookmarkprovider

package:com.miui.compass

package:com.miui.android.fashiongallery

package:com.android.chrome

package:com.miui.bugreport

package:com.miui.cloudbackup

package:com.facebook.system

package:com.facebook.appmanager

package:com.facebook.services

package:com.xiaomi.glgm

package:com.xiaomi.mipicks

package:com.xiaomi.midrop

package:com.miui.hybrid.accessory

package:com.tencent.soter.soterserver

package:com.miui.phrase

package:com.xiaomi.joyose

package:com.miui.msa.global

package:com.miui.cloudservice.sysbase

package:com.miui.weather2

package:com.google.android.gms

package:com.google.android.apps.maps

package:com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping

package:com.booking

package:com.google.android.apps.docs

package:com.google.android.apps.tachyon

package:com.facebook.katana

package:com.google.android.apps.photos

package:com.google.android.apps.magazines

package:com.google.android.videos

package:com.google.android.apps.podcasts

package:com.linkedin.android

package:com.micredit.in

package:com.duokan.phone.remotecontroller

package:com.netflix.mediaclient

package:com.tencent.igxiaomi

package:com.zhiliaoapp.musically

package:com.google.android.apps.youtube.music

2nd try was virtually the same list but I kept com.google.android.onetimeinitializer and com.xiaomi.joyose installed, but still got the bootloop, so I believe that means none of them were the culprits

I'm leaning towards maybe com.miui.msa.global? I have no idea really, but what I'll actually try first is uninstalling in smaller bulks, maybe 10 apps max at a time and then try the restart, moving along the list if no bootloop occurs

Meanwhile if you have any tips or guesses about where the problem might lie, I am all ears and any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'll be updating the thread with my following tests.
