Troubleshooting Xiaomi Pad eSIM

"Add eSIM" / "Manage eSIM" missing in Settings: Three possible causes: (1) you have the Wi-Fi-only Pad 6S Pro — no cellular hardware; (2) you have a CN ROM variant — no eSIM chip; (3) you have a Pad 5 or Pad 6 — neither has eSIM. Check Settings → About tablet → Model to determine your exact variant.

"eSIM feature not available": Your Xiaomi Pad has a CN ROM. This cannot be resolved by flashing firmware unless you can install a certified Global ROM — contact Xiaomi support. CN ROM devices lack the eSIM hardware provisioning at a firmware level.

eSIM installed but no data abroad: Settings → Mobile network → SIM cards & mobile networks → select Roamix eSIM → set as default Mobile Data → enable Data Roaming. Toggle Airplane Mode on/off to re-register on the network.

QR scan fails: Must be on Wi-Fi. HyperOS camera generally handles QR scanning reliably. If repeated failures occur, use "Enter activation code" within the eSIM setup flow for manual SM-DP+ address entry.
