If your Redmi Note 12 Turbo / POCO F5 (codename: marble) is stuck in a bootloop, lagging after an update, draining battery faster than usual, or refusing to install OTA updates, a full Fastboot ROM (.tgz) reinstall is one of the most reliable ways to return to a clean stock system.
Community feedback around HyperOS 2 on the POCO F5 has included complaints like battery drain, increased lag, and delays when switching apps (especially with gesture navigation), so having the correct fastboot package for your region is useful when you want to “reset” the software properly.

- A complete backup (photos + files + app data).
- Correct region firmware for your device (CNXM/MIXM/EUXM/INXM/IDXM/TRXM/TWXM/RUXM).
How to Flash the Firmware (Quick Steps)
Method 1: Flash official Fastboot ROM (.TGZ) using Mi Flash Tool
- Download the correct ROM for your region (example: marble_global_images_OS2.0.211.0.VMRMIXM...tgz for Global).
- Extract the .tgz until you get the ROM folder (it usually contains flashing scripts).
- Boot your marble device into Fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down).
- Open Mi Flash Tool, select the extracted ROM folder, refresh devices, and start flashing.
- Reboot and wait for the first boot to complete (it can take longer after a clean flash).
Method 2: Flash Xiaomi.eu ROM ZIP in TWRP / OrangeFox (Custom ROM)
- Unlock bootloader (required for most custom ROM workflows on Xiaomi/POCO devices).
- Boot into TWRP/OrangeFox and make a full backup first (recommended).
- Copy xiaomi.eu_MARBLE_OS2.0.213.0.VMRCNXM_15.zip to internal storage (or sideload if that’s your setup).
- Flash the ZIP in recovery.
- Reboot system and allow extra time for first boot.
Method 3: Test-boot TWRP via Fastboot (Safer First Step)
- Boot the phone into Fastboot mode.
- On your PC, run: fastboot boot twrp-3.7.1_12-v9.0_A15-marble-skkk.img
- If recovery boots correctly, proceed with backups and flashing as needed.
- Avoid permanently flashing recovery unless you fully understand your device’s partition layout.
- Reboot normally when finished.
