STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Download Mi 11X Fastboot ROM
Next up, download the Fastboot ROM for your device. As for this guide, I am using the following ROM file: Mi 11X India Stable Fastboot ROM V12.5.2.0.RKHINXM. You are free to try any version of your choice, but it is recommended to try the newer builds only and more importantly, of your region.
Here is how to understand the Xiaomi Fastboot firmware version:
V12.5.2.0 – Firmware versionR – Android version (R-> Android 11).KH – Smartphone model code (KH = MI 11X)IN – Firmware build type (IN for India | MI for Global | EU for Europe)XM – Firmware version code
Furthermore, the downloaded firmware file might be in .gz format. So right-click on it, select Rename and change its extension to TGZ. Then reply Yes in the confirmation dialog box. Once that is done, you may extract this TGZ file via WinRAR/7ZIP, etc and proceed ahead to the next step to unbrick Mi 11X via Fastboot Commands.
