How to enter flash mode

Bootloader Unlocking

To unlock the device, you'll need Xiaomi's Mi Unlock Tool

  • First, go into Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer Options
  • Enable OEM Unlocking
  • Insert a SIM card in the device, and log into a Mi Account
  • Disable WiFi and enable cellular connectivity
  • Open Mi Unlock status page, and begin unlock
  • Run the MiUnlock program once (phone must be in fastboot mode with Volume Down and Power). The program will say to wait 168 hours.
Warning WARNING: DO NOT RESET THE DEVICE, REMOVE THE MI ACCOUNT OR OTHERWISE DURING THIS PROCESS! THIS WILL RESET THE TIMER.
  • Wait 168 hours (7 days) and rerun it. The device is now unlocked


Recovery mode

  • Turn the device off (or restart also works)
  • Hold Volume Up and Power button
  • Once you feel vibration and phone turns on, release Power button
  • Keep holding Volume Up until you get to recovery.

Flashing TWRP

Note This requires an unlocked bootloader!

For this you'll need tuxafgmur's TWRP build and Android Platform-Tools. TWRP 3.7.0.4G is for MIUI, while TWRP 3.7.0.3F is for Custom ROMs.

  • First, boot the device into Fastboot mode with Volume Down and Power.
  • Extract the zip file containing TWRP, and flash it with fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
  • Either run fastboot reboot recovery or press and hold Volume Up and Power until you feel a vibration. This will boot the device into Recovery.

MIUI ONLY: If you want to stop MIUI from overwriting custom recoveries, you must flash Magisk to your device.
