Which ROM Does My Mi 5X Need?

Open Settings → About phone and look at the OS version. The two letters before XM at the end show your region:

Region Ends with Example
China CNXM V11.0.3.0.ODBCNXM

Install a ROM of the same region your phone already runs. A different region needs an unlocked bootloader and a Fastboot ROM.

How to Install Mi 5X Firmware

Recovery ROM (no PC, keeps your data)

  1. Download the Recovery ROM (.zip) for your region and move it to the root of the internal storage.
  2. Open Settings → About phone, tap the OS version card, then the three dots → Choose update package.
  3. Select the ZIP and wait until the phone installs it and reboots.

Fastboot ROM (PC, clean install)

  1. Unlock the bootloader first: HyperOS bootloader unlock guide.
  2. Install ADB, Fastboot and USB drivers and Mi Flash Tool.
  3. Extract the .tgz with 7-Zip, boot the phone into Fastboot (Power + Volume Down) and check the codename with fastboot getvar product: it must say tiffany.
  4. Select the ROM folder in Mi Flash, choose Clean all and click Flash.

Warning: never use Clean all and lock with a ROM from a different region or with any modified software. Re-locking a mismatched phone makes it unbootable. This model is sold for mainland China, and Xiaomi no longer unlocks China devices officially.

Are these files official?

Yes. Every download goes straight to Xiaomi’s servers (bigota.d.miui.com or Xiaomi’s Aliyun storage). We don’t host or modify the files. Compare the MD5 shown on the download page after downloading.

Recovery or Fastboot ROM: which one should I download?

Use the Recovery ROM to update without a PC and keep your data. Use the Fastboot ROM with Mi Flash to fix a bootloop, change region or do a clean install. It needs an unlocked bootloader and erases the phone.
