How to flash MIUI 12 ROM on Redmi Note 9 Pro
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.
- Make sure to download the latest version of the update. Furthermore, make sure the ROM you have downloaded is specifically designed for your phone’s model number. If you use the wrong ROM (designed for another phone), you can brick your phone.
- Transfer the ROM file to the internal storage of the phone. You need to put the update in a folder called “downloaded_rom”. If you put the update in any other location, the phone might not recognize the file.
- Go to Settings > About Phone and tap on System update. A screen will appear showing the current MIUI version currently installed on your phone. Do not worry if it says that no updates are available. We will manually flash the new update.
- Tap the three little dots located at the top right-hand corner of the phone. Tap on Choose update package.
- The phone will display a list of all available updates that it manages to find. In this case, it will show “miui_CURTANAINGlobal_V12.0.1.0.RJWINXM_3ad7d510e0_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.
