ROMs

Updated November 2026. The Redmi 9A, 9AT, 9i and 9A Sport (codename dandelion, MediaTek Helio G25) are no longer updated. Xiaomi ended security support in July 2023, so the builds below are the final official firmware. Xiaomi released MIUI 12.5 (Android 11) for most regions too, but the newest builds by date for Global, EEA, India and Indonesia are MIUI 12 (Android 10). If your phone already runs MIUI 12.5, these MIUI 12 builds are an Android downgrade: don’t install them over it. All links go to Xiaomi’s servers.

Official Redmi 9A firmware: the latest MIUI 12.5 Recovery and Fastboot ROMs for all regions (8), direct from Xiaomi's servers with file checksums.

Fastboot ROMs, older builds and how to verify a download (the file name contains the start of its MD5): Redmi 9A firmware page.

Don’t flash Redmi 10A firmware on a Redmi 9A. The Redmi 10A uses the same codename (dandelion) and got newer MIUI 12.5 builds until 2024, for example V12.5.16.0.RCZMIXM. Those are separate ROMs for different hardware: the version code contains RCZ instead of QCD/RCD. If your phone says Redmi 10A, use the Redmi 10A section of the firmware page.

Which region is mine? Look at the end of the MIUI version in Settings → About phone: MIXM Global, EUXM Europe, INXM India, IDXM Indonesia, RUXM Russia, CNXM China. See ROM region codes explained.

How to install the Redmi 9A firmware

Recovery ROM (keeps your data, no PC): copy the .zip to the phone, open Settings → About phone → System update, tap the three dots and choose Choose update package. If the option is missing, tap the MIUI logo on that screen about 10 times to unlock it. A Recovery ROM only installs over the same region, and only the same or a newer version. The updater can’t downgrade.

Fastboot ROM (clean install, region change, fixing a bootloop): unlock the bootloader with Mi Unlock (Mi Unlock shows the waiting time, often 168 hours; China units can’t be unlocked officially). Warning: 4PDA reports that unlocking on MIUI 12.5.7 Global/Russia/EEA or 12.5.9 India makes the phone bootloop. Go back to an older build first, or see the fix in 4PDA’s Redmi 9A thread., install the Xiaomi USB drivers and flash the .tgz with Mi Flash Tool. Choose Clean all. Use Clean all and lock only with an unmodified official ROM that matches the phone’s market. Never relock a phone running a modified or other-market ROM.

Hard brick (black screen, no Fastboot): the Redmi 9A uses a MediaTek Helio G25 chip. Recovery goes through MediaTek’s download mode with SP Flash Tool. Xiaomi protects it with an authorized-account check, which community tools such as mtkclient can bypass on this chip. Use them at your own risk. Before flashing an older ROM, check anti-rollback.
