Flashing refers to the process of installing or updating the software (ROM) on your Xiaomi device, such as the Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred). Flashing a new ROM can be done for various reasons like upgrading the system, downgrading, fixing software bugs, or installing a custom ROM.
Here are the general steps for flashing a ROM on the Redmi Note 5 Pro:
1. Preparation
Before flashing, make sure to back up your important data as the flashing process can erase all your data. Additionally, ensure the following:
- Unlock Bootloader: To flash a custom ROM, you need to have the bootloader unlocked.
- Battery: Ensure your phone is at least 50% charged to avoid interruption during the process.
- Mi Account: If you have a Mi Account, ensure you have the correct credentials for logging in after the flash.
- Driver Installation: Make sure you have the necessary drivers installed on your PC, like Mi USB Drivers (for Windows).
2. Unlocking the Bootloader (if not done)
If you haven’t unlocked your bootloader yet, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings > About Phone > Tap on MIUI Version 7 times to enable developer options.
- Then, go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options, and enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging.
- Apply for bootloader unlock permissions on Xiaomi’s official unlock page: https://en.miui.com/unlock/.
- After receiving the permission (usually takes a few days), you can use Mi Unlock Tool to unlock the bootloader.
3. Download the Required Files
You need the following files before flashing:
- MIUI Fastboot ROM: This is the official MIUI ROM (Fastboot version).
- Custom ROM (optional): If you’re flashing a custom ROM like LineageOS, Pixel Experience, etc., download the appropriate zip file.
- TWRP Recovery (optional): If you plan to install custom ROMs or mods, you’ll need TWRP (a custom recovery).
4. Flashing via Fastboot (Official ROM)
If you want to flash the official MIUI ROM via Fastboot, follow these steps:
- Download the Fastboot ROM for your device from the Xiaomi official website or MIUI forums.
- Extract the ROM file on your computer.
- Boot into Fastboot Mode on your phone by turning off the device and then holding the Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously.
- Connect your phone to the PC via USB.

5. Flashing via TWRP (Custom ROM or Mods)
If you want to install a custom ROM or mods using TWRP, follow these steps:
- Install TWRP Recovery (if not done already).
- To install TWRP, download the TWRP image for your device and flash it via Fastboot:

- To install TWRP, download the TWRP image for your device and flash it via Fastboot:
- Boot into TWRP: Turn off the phone, then press Volume Up + Power to boot into TWRP recovery.
- Wipe: In TWRP, you may need to wipe the current data before flashing a custom ROM:
- Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select Dalvik/ART Cache, System, Data, and Cache (don’t wipe internal storage unless you want to erase everything).
- Flash the ROM: Go to Install, select the custom ROM zip file you downloaded (e.g., LineageOS, Pixel Experience), and swipe to confirm.
- If you want to flash GApps (Google Apps), do so after the custom ROM is installed (if necessary).
- After flashing, reboot the device by selecting Reboot > System.
6. Flashing via MI Flash Tool (Fastboot ROM)
Another method for flashing the official ROM is by using the Mi Flash Tool:

Troubleshooting Tips:
