Activation of the latest version of MIUI10.3 and above refrigerator Ice Box

There are three ways to activate the refrigerator IceBox, all of which have the same effect; they just have different activation methods; each has its own advantages and disadvantages;

1. Root, obtain super system administrator privileges;

2. Obtain device administrator rights (no ROOT required);

3. Ordinary ADB mode; no need to delete the account;

After MIUI 10.3 version, MIUI developer mode USB (security settings) debugging requires (inserting a SIM card) to log in to a Xiaomi account to enable it. Setting up the device administrator seems to have become difficult, because the condition for successfully setting up as a device administrator requires deleting the screen password lock. The most important thing is to delete all accounts in the system settings! Including Xiaomi account and Google account. This results in the inability to turn on USB debugging (security settings) without deleting all accounts;

Can only be activated via ADB mode

Advantages: No need to delete the account and other steps , just use it directly.

Disadvantages: Reactivation is required every time the phone is restarted, otherwise the APP cannot be frozen or unfrozen.

Keep USB debugging always turned on, set the USB connection to [Charging Only], and MIUI needs to turn on debugging (security settings).
