Although it is less and less necessary to have to change the ROM of mobile phones, the time may come when we need to use this method in Xiaomi to solve problems with the ROM. With the help of the Mi Flash tool developed by Xiaomi the process is very simple and it will not take us time or too many complications.
In any Xiaomi smartphone we are going to be able to use this tool, allowing us to go back to a previous version after installing or even solving installation failures. Before starting the process you should know that the files that we have on our mobile will be deleted and therefore it is very important to save on another device if we do not want to lose photos, videos and other files forever.
This method is spoken by the Xiaomi company itself, which offers us peace of mind in case any problem arises. Using the guarantee the company will take over, as long as we have not tried to install a modified ROM, this process is only valid for the official Xiaomi ROMs .
Steps to download and install My Flash
This process can only be carried out on Windows computers, not MacOS, although it does not matter what version of the operating system we have because it is valid for any model from Windows XP.
- To start we download the latest version of My Flash on this website .
- Then we unzip the files.
- We will have a folder with several files where we must double-click on the executable named XiaoMiFlash .
- We accept the necessary installation permits.
Then we will skip a window to install the necessary drivers where we must accept and repeat the process twice to ensure that no problem has arisen. In case the window is closed, it is that everything has worked correctly.
Install ROM on Xiaomi
Once we have completed the previous steps we have to connect our Xiaomi mobile to the computer through the USB or USB Type C cable. Once you have recognized it, we do not have to activate any type of option on our smartphone even if it has been connected as a means of charge only. The next steps that we must follow are these:
- First of all we download the official global ROM for our Xiaomi mobile on the official website . It is important that it is the global ROM.
- Once downloaded we just have to add it to our My Flash program.
- We will do this by pressing select and looking for the file in the folder where we have saved it.
The next thing it will do is turn off our mobile, keeping it connected to the computer. Then we will hold down the power and volume down buttons until Mitu appears on the screen. With this process we will be inside the Fastboot that we help ourselves by using Mi Flash on Xiaomi .
Now we only have to click on the flash button to install the ROM that we have downloaded and once completed the success message will appear on the screen. In case you are not able to start with the installation, we only have to remove the cable between the computer and the mobile to reconnect it while we stay in fastboot.
Then we just have to turn on our Xiaomi mobile and we will have the ROM installed and ready to configure it again.
