Meanwhile, the user who are using MIUI V5 / MIUI 6 / MIUI 7 / MIUI 8 stable ROM can upgrade their phones to MIUI 9 via the fastboot method.

Fast Boot Method

This one is a little bit complicated and risky. If you haven’t received the update for your supported phone, you can’t try this. Moreover, it’s the only way to shift from Stable to Beta or Beta to Stable ROM or Developer to Stable / Beta.

Before Fast-Booting
  • Unlocked Bootloader
  • Download & install Mi Flash Tool – here
  • Download the Fastboot ROM (will be in .tgz or .tar file)
If you face phone not getting detected,
  • Install Mi PC Suite – here
  • Download Drivers – here

How To Make a Local Backup?

  • Go to settings – additional settings – backup & reset
  • Click ‘Local backup – Backup’, to create the backup and move it to PC before flashing
  • Do remember, it includes only apps so multimedia files need to be backup separately

Steps Before Fast-booting

  • Switch off your phone, press and hold volume down and power button simultaneously, it should power up the phone with the fastboot screen
  • Connect your phone via USB to PC, click ‘refresh’ button in flash tool app and it should show device ID.
  • If not, install Mi PC Suite and drivers posted above.
  • Extract the fastboot ROM you downloaded, to a folder on PC
