Noticed the same issue after the update on my Mi 11 Ultra. Mi Cloud used to sync photos flawlessly, but now it just stops without any error. Hope it’s a temporary bug and gets fixed in the next patch.
I’ve been wondering the same thing about recovery options for the Poco F7 Ultra Miro. Haven’t seen anything official yet, but hopefully some custom recovery support shows up soon. If anyone has tried an alternative or workaround, would love to hear how it went!
