Q1. Is “garnet” Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G or the Pro+?

garnet is used for Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G / POCO X6 5G, while Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G is listed separately as zircon.

Q2. Which ROM should I flash if my camera becomes extremely laggy (especially 60fps)?

Start with the newest region-matched stock ROM (MIXM/EUXM/INXM/etc.), because users reporting this issue also report improvements after resets/clean-up, and fastboot flashing is the cleanest reinstall method.

Q3. What is the “Global DC” (IDC) ROM in this list?

The VNRMIDC package is labeled as a “GLOBAL_DC” ROM track, so it should generally be used only when your phone is already on the DC/IDC channel or when specifically needed for recovery.

Q4. Can I flash the HyperOS 3 China (CNXM) Android 16 ROM on a Global phone?

Region codes exist for a reason, and Xiaomi-oriented region guidance warns that region differences affect features and update behavior, so cross-flashing is not recommended for most users.

Q5. Why do many builds share the same date (2025-10-31) but different regions?

Xiaomi publishes parallel regional branches (MIXM/EUXM/INXM/etc.), and region tracking explains why you can see the “same-day” releases with different suffixes.

Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (garnet) Firmware: HyperOS 3/2 Fastboot ROMs

Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (codename garnet)—also shared by POCO X6 5G—targets the “premium midrange” segment with Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and a 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED.

Common user pain points after HyperOS updates include camera app lag (often worse in 60fps video modes), general UI stutters, and heat/drain complaints that feel “update-triggered.”

The official fastboot ROMs below help by reinstalling the whole system cleanly (a proven way to remove messy leftover update data), while the xiaomi.eu build is an advanced, bootloader-unlocked option for power users who want a customized CN-based experience.

Variant match tip: The region code is inside the build (CNXM/MIXM/EUXM/INXM/RUXM/IDXM/TWXM/TRXM), and Xiaomi-style region tracking explains why cross-region flashing often causes OTA and feature mismatches.

Complete Device & Firmware Overview

Device / codename: Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G / POCO X6 5G — garnet.
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (SM7435).
Display class: 6.67-inch AMOLED, 120Hz, 2712×1220.
Firmware packages here: Official Xiaomi fastboot ROMs (*.tgz) + optional xiaomi.eu fastboot ROM (*.zip).
Android versions: Android 16 (HyperOS 3 CNXM) and Android 15 (HyperOS 2 regional builds), based on the filenames provided.
Flash method: Xiaomi Flash Tool / MiFlash for official fastboot ROMs; xiaomi.eu uses its own A/B fastboot install scripts.
Bootloader rules & lock risk: Xiaomi’s bootloader lock guidance and MiFlash option choices matter because relocking on the wrong ROM/region can cause serious boot/network issues.
Why people fastboot-flash: Users reporting HyperOS camera lag often mention factory reset/clean-up as a fix path, and fastboot flashing is the “full reinstall” version of that approach.

Risk caution (compact): Flash only ROMs for garnet that match your region code; mismatched ROMs, corrupted files, or unsafe lock/wipe options can trigger boot loops, data loss, and network problems—verify codename + region twice before flashing.

CRUCIAL WARNING: These fastboot ROMs are strictly for Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G / POCO X6 5G with codename garnet; they must not be flashed to Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G (zircon) or any other Xiaomi codename, because cross‑flashing can permanently brick the device.

MiFlash-style tools can wipe user data, and Xiaomi emphasizes bootloader lock behavior—so do not “lock” unless you are on the correct, original stock branch for your device.

Preparation Before Flashing

Confirm codename & model family: Verify your device is garnet (Note 13 Pro 5G / POCO X6 5G) before downloading any ROM.
Match region code exactly: Use the build suffix (MIXM/EUXM/INXM/etc.) to stay aligned with your phone’s original update channel and avoid OTA weirdness.
Back up everything: Camera lag and performance bugs often push users toward resets, and fastboot flashing can wipe data—export photos, chats, and 2FA first.
Disable “Memory extension” if troubleshooting first: Some users report camera lag improves after turning off memory extension (especially when lag appears in 60fps modes).
Use stable USB + PC setup: Fastboot flashing should not be interrupted; use a reliable cable and a direct USB port to reduce disconnect risk.

Quick Firmware Flash Instructions

How to flash Firmware Files to Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G (garnet)

This simplified guide covers flashing any listed official fastboot ROM—like garnet_global_images_OS2.0.205.0.VNRMIXM...—using Xiaomi’s fastboot flashing tool on Windows.

Choose the safest ROM: Pick the newest build that matches your region (for most Global devices here: OS2.0.205.0.VNRMIXM; for China: OS3.0.2.0.WNRCNXM).
Prep your PC: Install drivers and MiFlash/Xiaomi Flash Tool, then extract the .tgz to a short folder path.
Enter fastboot: Boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect USB, and confirm detection in the flashing tool.
Flash using a safe option: Avoid relocking unless you are returning to the exact official stock branch meant for your device, since Xiaomi highlights bootloader lock behavior risks.
First boot + validation: After flashing, allow the long first boot, then test the exact issues you had (camera lag, heat/drain) before restoring all apps.
