Q1. Which fastboot ROM should I pick for my Redmi 15 4G / POCO M7 4G?

Always select the ROM matching your factory region: MIXM (Global), EUXM (Europe), RUXM (Russia), IDXM (Indonesia), TWXM (Taiwan), TRXM (Turkey); model mismatch risks brick or network issues.

Q2. Can I cross-flash (e.g., Global on EEA or Russia)?

Only for advanced repair use; anti-rollback and modem config differences can cause subtle bugs or block future OTA updates. Safest to stay on your matched region build.

Q3. Will HyperOS 2 ROM add advanced flagship features?

No—while stability and battery/performance are improved, high-end features like floating windows remain limited compared to Xiaomi’s flagships.

Q4. Does a clean fastboot flash fix battery drain, lag, or overheating?

Yes—latest ROMs optimize background apps, video playback, and thermal management; full wipe recommended to clear bugs from old updates.

Q5. Is EDL flashing supported if creek is bricked?

Professional tools now support EDL on creek, but only advanced users and service centers should attempt deep recovery; fastboot ROMs here are only for devices that boot to fastboot.

Q6. Where is a step-by-step flashing tutorial?

Follow this Xiaomi Flash guide and use your region’s “creek_*” file in the flashing steps.

CRUCIAL WARNING: These fastboot ROMs are strictly for Redmi 15 4G / POCO M7 4G (“creek”); they must not be flashed to Redmi 15 5G or other codenames like “spring” or “kunzite,” or to unrelated Redmi/POCO models due to region-lock and hardware mismatches—cross‑flashing risks permanent brick or network loss.

Each build is region-locked by code (MIXM, EUXM, RUXM, IDXM, TWXM, TRXM). Always match your phone’s factory region! Avoid cross-flashing unless advanced recovery is required. Anti‑rollback is enabled, especially on modern HyperOS builds.

All official creek_*.tgz fastboot packages will WIPE user data, and using “clean all and lock” on mismatched regions can relock the bootloader on an unsupported ROM and break network or boot. Backup first!
