The Xiaomi 15 (codename "dada") is the compact flagship king for 2025, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Currently, the device software is fragmented: major markets like China and Europe are on Android 16 ('W' builds), while other regions remain on Android 15 ('V' builds). Flashing the wrong version can lead to immediate bricks due to anti-rollback mechanisms.DANGER: Anti-Rollback Protection is Active. Check the Build ID letter.
- 'W' Builds (Android 16): Available for China (CN), Global (MI), and EEA.
- 'V' Builds (Android 15): Available for India (IN), Russia (RU), Indonesia (ID), Taiwan (TW).
- Anti-Rollback Trap: If your device is currently running a 'W' build (Android 16), DO NOT attempt to flash a 'V' build (Android 15) and lock the bootloader. Downgrading the Android version with a locked bootloader will trigger ARB and hard-brick the motherboard.
- Cross-Flashing: You can switch regions, but you MUST keep the bootloader UNLOCKED.
