p.s:
do not forget to check if the ROM file
suffix is .tgz and if it is .gz, please
rename it to .tgz
the file size is quite large so you better
use your favorite download manager.
Step 4 Now you need to extract the newly
downloaded MIUI Fastboot ROM
package .tgzfile using WinRAR. Make sure
you extract its content to root of your
computers drive and do not extract it
inside a folder. Thats to make sure the files
inside the content can be easily accessible
later. For example, extrac it to drive D:\ or

drive E:\ (drive C:\ is for Windows system,

so you better not extract it there).
Once extracted, youll then get a folder
named like this (example Global version):
hermes_global_images_V7.1.1.0.LHMMICK_2
0151221.0000.11_5.0_global
or this for Chinese version:
hermes_images_V7.1.1.0.LHMCNCK_201512
21.0000.11_5.0_cn
Step 5 Launch up MiFlash.exe to open Mi
Flash tool youve downloaded earlier in Step
2. The file is usually located at:
C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone
or if in x64 machine it is located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone

Right-click on it and choose Run as

Administrator:

Step 6 Click the Browse button and look

for the location of where youve extracted
the MIUI Fastboot ROM file, choose
folder images then hit OK button.

Step 7 It will then look like below. Now

click on the little arrow next to the Browse
button (see picture) then click Advanced.

Step 8 A dialog box will open. Now you

have to click the Browse button in the
Fastboot Script. Browse to the location
youve extracted the MIUI ROM Fastboot file
again and select the flash_all.bat file
following by clicking the OK button. For
your information, this script will wipe all
your phones files including all of your data
and it will do a clean install. Also, do not
and never alter / change any other settings,
just leave it as it is.

Step 9 Next, youll need to connect your

Xiaomi device / phone to computer. But
first, you have to make it entering Fastboot
mode. Achieving that is easy, simply grab
your phone and press the Volume down (-)
button and Power button all together at the
same time. Hold your pressing until your
phone restarting and entering Fastboot
mode. You are doing that successfully if
youve seen the Fastboot logo on your
phones screen:

Step 10 Now connect your phone which is

in Fastboot mode to the computer using its
USB cable.
Step 11 Back to the MiFlash tool youve
setup earlier. Click the Refresh button and
the tool will detect your phone.

Step 12 Once the MiFlash tool can detect

your phone, click the Flash button to start
flashing the MIUI ROM Fastboot file to your
phone.

Make sure you see message saying The

operation completed successfully.
(0x00000000;) once it done:

Step 13 Ok so now youve flashed the

MIUI ROM and now your phone will restart.
At this point you can disconnect your phone
from computer and wait till your phone
reboot and restart completely. Just keep in
mind that initial booting process may take
long time so do not panic and just wait till
its fully boot.

Voila! your phone is now turned on and

booted into the newly installed MIUI ROM.
Installing MIUI via Fastboot is wiping all your
phones data so it will be like a brand new
phone. Hence you have to setup your
phone from the basic, just take it as a new
phone.
Congratulation and enjoy using your phone
with brand new MIUI system.
p.p.s: If you flashed MIUI Stable China build
then most likely you dont have Play Store
installed.
