If your Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G (India) is stuck on the MI logo, in a bootloop, showing “Invalid IMEI,” or has no network, you can fix it by flashing the official firmware and restoring the IMEI if needed.

What Is Stock Firmware?

Stock Firmware (Fastboot ROM) is Xiaomi’s official system image used to repair or restore your device.

Flashing stock firmware helps:

• Fix bootloop or stuck logo issues
• Restore missing or corrupted system files
• Remove Magisk, root, or custom ROMs
• Fix IMEI and network problems
• Improve stability and performance

• Unstable or crashing frequently
• You want to remove root/custom mods

How to Repair IMEI on Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G

The Indian Redmi Note 11 Pro 4G uses the MediaTek Helio G96 chipset. IMEI repair for MediaTek is different from Snapdragon-based phones.

Note: Restoring the original IMEI from your device’s SIM tray or box is legal. Modifying IMEI is illegal in many regions.

IMEI Repair Tools (MediaTek Devices):

• Maui META Tool
• DB File from your ROM
• Original IMEI from SIM tray or packaging

Step-by-Step (Maui META Method):

1. Install Drivers
   • Install MediaTek USB VCOM drivers on your PC
2. Download Maui META Tool
   • Launch it and select “IMEI Download” mode
3. Connect Phone
   • Power off your phone
   • Connect via USB — Maui META will detect it in META Mode
4. Load DB File
   • From your downloaded ROM, locate the MD1_DB and AP_DB files
   • Load them in Maui META
5. Write IMEI
   • Go to IMEI Download tab
   • Enter your original IMEI
   • Click Download to Flash
   • Wait for confirmation
6. Reboot & Verify
   • Reboot your phone
   • Dial *#06# to check IMEI

Common Problems & Fixes

Issue	Solution
Phone not detected	Reinstall USB or VCOM drivers / use different USB port
Mi Flash stuck/fails	Use a different Mi Flash version / verify firmware path
Maui META doesn’t detect	Ensure phone is powered off and using correct drivers

Flashing Tips

• Use only the Fastboot ROM (.tgz) — not the Recovery ROM (.zip)
• Confirm the device model (India variant) before flashing
• Never relock bootloader unless flashing official MIUI
• Charge phone to at least 50% before flashing
• Always back up your data and IMEI (QCN or text)
