Flashing your Redmi/Mi smartphone with Xiaomi official firmware (MIUI) will help you fix certain software issues on the phone. It also helps you to get rid of root and all modifications made to your phone system software.

To upgrade, update or fix minor software problems on your phone, flashing via stock Mi recovery is recommended. But for a completely clean and fresh installation of all system files, the fastboot method is the way to go. To flash via fastboot though, your Xiaomi smartphone’s bootloader has to be unlocked first.
