Restoring, fixing or upgrading Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 can be easily done using the firmware in this post. Aside from repairing any software associated fault on your smartphone, the fastboot ROM can be used to migrate from Beta to Stable ROM (and vice versa). To put it simply, this firmware will guide you through restoring your device to its default factory state.
If you currently have a rooted device and/or modified other partitions of the phone, flashing the Fastboot ROM will overwrite all existing modified partitions and replace with factory software. So, you should ensure to backup all important data on the phone- like contacts, messages, app data, etc. It is very necessary, to avoid loss of data after flashing.
Also, charge the device battery to at least 40% so that the flashing process will not be interrupted by low battery. Interrupting the firmware installation process could damage your phone.
From the links below, download either the Fastboot or Recovery firmware and follow the recommended flashing instructions afterwards. Do not hesitate to report any broken links detected.

- Attention
- MIUI 9 on your device will be updated to its stable version.It’s better than the Developer ROM you’re using right now in terms of stability and productivity.However, here are a few points you should pay attention to:
- 1.Automatic updates will be turned off after this update. For next update, go to Settings > About phone > System update, and tap “Check for updates”.
- 2.Your data won’t be affected by this update. We still recommend to back up all important items to Mi Cloud or your computer before you start updating to avoid possible data loss due to abnormalities and unexpected errors.
- 3.Root access will be turned off automatically after you update. (And nothing will change if you haven’t been using it in the first place). If the apps you use frequently need Root access, think whether you should choose not to update your device.
- 4.Stable ROM outperforms the Developer ROM in terms of stability and productivity. Some new features might not be available due to compatibility or other reasons, but this wouldn’t affect your overall user experience.
