The Xiaomi codename sky is shared by the Redmi Note 12R, Redmi 12 5G, and POCO M6 Pro 5G across multiple regions (China/Global/India/EEA/TW/JP).
If you are facing instability after updates (random reboots, bootloops/soft‑brick, lag, or broken system apps), flashing the correct official Fastboot ROM for your exact region can often restore the phone back to clean stock.
For some regions (for example EEA), public update trackers often show security patch upgrades as the main visible changelog line for HyperOS 2 builds.

- A Windows PC and a reliable USB cable (do not disconnect during flashing).
- Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool installed on the PC.
- Working Fastboot connection (device must be detected in Fastboot mode).
- A complete backup of your important data (a clean flash can wipe user data).
- Correct ROM match: same codename (sky) and correct region branch (CNXM/MIXM/INXM/EUXM/TWXM/JPXM).
How to Flash the Firmware
All the sky_*_images_*.tgz files above are Fastboot ROMs meant for Mi Flash flashing.For a fully illustrated walkthrough with screenshots and troubleshooting, follow this guide:
Flash Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO firmware using Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool
- Confirm your phone is a “sky” device (Redmi Note 12R / Redmi 12 5G / POCO M6 Pro 5G) and confirm the region branch you actually need (for example, EUXM for EEA).
- Download the exact Fastboot file you want (for example: sky_eea_global_images_OS2.0.208.0.VMWEUXM_20250928.0000.00_15.0_eea_ad012da3ba.tgz) and extract it on your PC.
- Boot the phone into Fastboot mode, connect it to the PC, and open Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool.
- Load the extracted firmware folder in Mi Flash, then choose the wipe option that fits your case (back up first regardless).
- Start flashing and wait until Mi Flash shows success, then allow the phone to boot fully; the first boot can take noticeably longer than normal.
