The update process is very simple and can be done through official software. This method is endorsed by Xiaomi on their official page, so the risks of something going wrong are nonexistent, as long as you have the correct firmware.

- The phone will display a list of all available updates that it manages to find. In this case, it will show “miui_UMIGlobal_V12.2.1.0.RJBMIXM_5dcaf5cf5a_11.0.zip”. Select it.
The phone will automatically flash the new update. The installation process might take a moment, so please be patient. Once the phone has been updated to MIUI 12, it will automatically restart.
