How to Flash the Firmware​

This file is a Fastboot ROM (.tgz), so the usual method is flashing via Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool.
Always use the correct ROM for your exact device and codename (MIX Fold 3 / babylon) to reduce the risk of a brick.

1. Back up your data, then confirm your phone is Xiaomi MIX Fold 3 (babylon) and the ROM version is OS2.0.209.0.VMVCNXM.
2. Unlock the bootloader (Mi Flash Fastboot flashing typically requires this) and remember that unlocking can wipe the phone.
3. Extract babylon_images_OS2.0.209.0.VMVCNXM_20251028.0000.00_15.0_cn_33c60fe880.tgz on your PC until you see the main firmware folder and flashing scripts.
4. Boot the MIX Fold 3 into Fastboot mode, connect it to the PC, open Mi Flash Tool, and select the extracted ROM folder.
5. Choose your flashing option carefully. Many guides recommend Clean all (instead of Clean all and lock unless you are absolutely sure), then start flashing and wait for the process to complete.
