How to enter flash mode

Bootloader Unlocking

Like other Xiaomi devices, the user will have to acquire the bootloader unlock key: https://en.miui.com/unlock

The device will not unlock if the device isn't 7 days old (from the time when your device connects to internet and powered on, and linked with Mi Account)

You may have to use older version of official Mi Unlock tool, search internet for miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.55.

Flashing (Download, Fastboot) mode

  • Turn the device off (or restart also works)
  • Hold the Volume Down while powering on the device or while rebooting it.

How to enter 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.

Recovery mode is not used to flash the device. Flash device from fastboot mode.
