How to Find the ROM

From here select "ROM" and look for FastBoot ROM which is open to the members. Open links are the tested ones.
Let's Start
- Download the ROM, which will be a compressed file. Extract the folder on the desktop. Sometimes if the path is lengthy the MiFlash Tool might give some error. So the desktop is a safe location.
- Install MiFlash Tool and FastBoot driver and restart the computer.
- Again, I hope your device is at least 50% charged and you have taken the backup
- Switch off the device.
- Open/Run MiFlash Tool application on your PC
- Copy the ROM folder path and paste it in the MiFlash Tool.
- Now go to Advanced option - Shortcut Ctrl+A
- Click on Browse for FastBoot Script and choose flash_all.bat file. This file means it will clean install your device. It will delete all the data stored in the internal memory and phone storage. This method is usually preferable.
NOTE: Different types of .bat files and what to choose. But whatever you choose do not neglect taking backup.
- Now, we will enter into the FastBoot Mode by pressing together Volume down key andPower button.
