If your Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro is stuck on the logo, experiencing app crashes, stuck in a bootloop, or showing system errors, you’re not alone. These issues often happen after system updates, ROM modifications, or corrupt firmware. The good news? You can fix them yourself—right at home.
This guide walks you through everything: how to download and flash the correct firmware, how to troubleshoot issues, and how to get your Pad 7 Pro running like new again.
What is Stock Firmware and Why It’s Important
Stock firmware (also called a stock ROM or flash file) is the official operating system pre-installed by Xiaomi. Flashing it restores:
Stability and smooth performance
Fixes for system crashes, bugs, and soft bricks
Security patches and driver compatibility
Original MIUI interface and features
When the firmware gets corrupted, flashing it can bring your tablet back to life.
When to Use Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro Firmware
You should consider flashing the firmware if:
The tablet is stuck on the boot logo or in a bootloop
The system is laggy or crashing
The device is dead due to software corruption
You want to go back to stock MIUI after a custom ROM
Note: Bootloader unlocking is required. You can request unlock permission via the official Mi Unlock Tool.
How to Flash Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Download the Right Firmware
Go to trusted sources:
Make sure you download the Fastboot ROM (.tgz format), not the Recovery version.
Confirm that the firmware matches your device model and region (e.g., Global, China).
Step 2: Install USB Drivers
Download and install Xiaomi USB Drivers on your PC.
This ensures the PC correctly detects your device during Fastboot mode.
Step 3: Install Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest Mi Flash Tool.
Extract it and run as Administrator.
Step 4: Boot into Fastboot Mode
Power off your Pad 7 Pro completely.
Hold Volume Down + Power together until the Fastboot screen appears.
Connect it to the PC via USB.
Step 5: Load Firmware in Mi Flash Tool
Extract the downloaded firmware archive (.tgz).
In Mi Flash Tool, click “Select” and browse to the firmware folder.
Choose “clean all” to wipe data (recommended for clean install).
Step 6: Start Flashing
Click the “Flash” button.
Wait for 5–10 minutes.
Once done, you’ll see a green success message.
Your tablet will reboot into fresh MIUI.
Congratulations! Your Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro has now been successfully restored to official firmware.
