The Redmi Pad Pro 5G (codename "ruan"), also released as the POCO Pad 5G, is the cellular-enabled variant of Xiaomi's large tablet. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset and runs on HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15. Flashing these Fastboot ROMs is essential for unbricking, fixing connectivity issues, or manual updates.

Please verify your device model carefully before flashing:
Below are the technical specifications for the "ruan" firmware.
Select the file that corresponds to your target region. All files below are Android 15 (HyperOS 2.0).
Note: Official Global (MI) Fastboot ROM.
Note: Official China (CN) Fastboot ROM.
Note: Official India (IN) Fastboot ROM. For POCO Pad 5G.

Disclaimer: This process is performed at your own risk. We are not responsible for any data loss, bricked devices, or damage. Please ensure your device codename is ruan (Redmi Pad Pro 5G / POCO Pad 5G). Flashing the Wi-Fi-only firmware ("dizi") on this device will permanently damage it. If you have any problems, please drop a comment on the thread.
Please verify your device model carefully before flashing:
- Codename Match: This firmware is ONLY for the Redmi Pad Pro 5G / POCO Pad 5G (codename "ruan").
- Wrong Device Risk: Do NOT flash this on the Redmi Pad Pro Wi-Fi / POCO Pad Wi-Fi (codename "dizi"). The 5G firmware contains crucial radio files (modem) that will hard-brick the Wi-Fi-only model.
- Brand Cross-Flashing: If you are converting a Redmi Pad Pro 5G to a POCO Pad 5G firmware (or vice versa), you MUST NOT lock the bootloader. Cross-branding requires an unlocked bootloader to function.
