When will the update MIUI 13 Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro

Owners of the popular Redmi Note 10 Pro (also known as sweet) have been waiting for the final stable version of the MIUI 13 shell for a long time. Despite the fact that the global version of the firmware began its distribution in early 2022, the process is undulating and depends on many factors, including the region of sale of the device and the specific operator.

The urgency of the issue is not only driven by the desire to get new visual elements, but also by critical security updates and system optimization, which many users face a situation where the status of the device remains unchanged on the official update site, which raises many questions about compatibility and timing.

In this article, we will discuss the current situation with the exit schedules, explain why. OTA-The update may not come in months, and we will provide a step-by-step guide for those who do not want to wait for the mercy of Xiaomi servers.We will look at both automatic and manual installation methods so that you can safely upgrade to the new version of the software.

Official status and release schedule of MIUI 13

The deployment of MIUI 13 for the Redmi Note 10 family was one of the largest in the company’s history. Initially, the update was announced for the flagship series, and only after stabilization of work on top models, the line reached the mid-segment. For the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the stable version in the global region (Global) officially launched in the second quarter of 2022.

But the concept of an “official exit” in Xiaomi’s ecosystem is stretchy: the update comes in stages, covering small percentages of users to minimize the risk of critical errors, which is why one user can receive a notification in March, and his neighbor with an identical device can only get a few months later.

It is important to understand that there are different types of builds: China, EEA (Europe), Global (Global) and Russia. For the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the graph looks like this: the Chinese version received an update first, followed by the European one, and only then the update reached global and Russian firmware. The final stable version for the global market is based on Android 12, which is an important clarification for those who were waiting for Android 13 at once.

⚠️ Note: If you purchased a device in a gray market or re-imbroidered in a store, the version of the software may not correspond to the region. SIM-In this case, automatic updates will be made. MIUI 13 may never come through OTA.

Below is a table showing the approximate release dates of stable versions for different regions, which will help you navigate the current situation:

Why is there no update over the air (OTA)?

The situation where the site has exit information and the phone in the Settings menu → Phone → MIUI version is marked “No Updates” is classic. This does not mean that your device is excluded from the list of supported. Most often the reason lies in the algorithms of the Xiaomi server, which checks many parameters before issuing a file.

One of the main reasons for the delay is the region chosen when the smartphone was initially set up. If you bought a global version of the phone, but the settings indicate the region "Russia" or "Ukraine", and the server distribution for these countries is still in full swing or has already been suspended due to bugs, then OTA-The channel will be silent, and it will also be affected by root rights or an unlocked bootloader, which the security system considers a potential risk.

Sometimes the problem is in the cache of the Update app, the system may get stuck checking the old version and not seeing the new version, and in such cases, cleaning the application data helps, but you need to do this carefully so as not to disrupt the current settings.

💡

Try temporarily changing the region in your phone settings to India or Singapore, restart the device and check for updates again" OTA-channel.

Xiaomi is also known for dragging out the process for weeks to avoid mass complaints if a critical error is detected in the first batch of files, so the Redmi Note 10 Pro can access the server today and yours in two weeks.

Manual installation of firmware through Recovery

If the wait is long, the only way to speed up the process is to manually install a system image, which is considered the safest method among the methods that do not require unlocking the bootloader. You will need a firmware file in Recovery ROM (extension.zip), which weighs about 2.5-3 GB.

The first step is to download the current firmware version for your model (sweet) from a trusted resource, such as miui.com or trusted third-party archives. Make sure you download the Global version if you have a global phone. Trying to install Chinese firmware on a global device without an unlocked bootloader will result in a verification error.

Once you download the file, move it to the root of the smartphone's internal memory. Don't put it in folders, otherwise the system won't see it. Next, go to the special recovery menu. To do this, go to the Update app, click three dots in the corner and select Select firmware file.

After selecting the file, the phone will suggest restarting to Recovery mode, which will take 5 to 15 minutes, at which time it is strictly forbidden to turn off the device or interrupt the process, as this can damage the system partition.

⚠️ Note: When you manually install firmware through Recovery, all user data is usually saved. However, if you upgrade from a very old version (e.g., a very old version, MIUI 11) immediately on MIUI 13, we strongly advise you to make a full backup to your computer or to the cloud to avoid losing contacts and photos.

Installation method with Mi Flash Tool (Fastboot)

For advanced users who have encountered errors when installing the Recovery version or want to install the system completely, there is a method of firmware through Fastboot, USB-cable-driver ADB/Fastboot. The firmware file must be in Fastboot format ROM (extension).

Unlike Recovery, this method requires an unlocked bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, Mi Flash will give an error and refuse to continue working. Unlocking the bootloader is officially possible through Mi Unlock, but requires an account binding and a wait of 7 to 168 hours.

The process is to turn off your phone, press the volume button, and connect the cable to your PC. Windows Device Manager should have an Android Bootloader Interface. Launch the Mi Flash Tool, select the path to the unpacked firmware folder, and press Flash.

The use of command line (ADB/Fastboot) gives more control, but requires care. One wrong command can cause communication modules to fail, a method recommended only for those who understand the difference between system, boot and userdata partitions.

Changes and innovations in MIUI 13

The upgrade to MIUI 13 on the Redmi Note 10 Pro brings not only cosmetic changes, but also significant improvements in the background of the system, one of the main innovations was the optimization of the use of RAM, which is especially important for devices with 6 GB of RAM.

Visually, widgets have changed, new fonts have appeared, and the ability to more flexibly configure the always-on display (AOD), the system has become more responsive, the number of micro-lags when switching between applications has decreased, and the work with notifications, which are now grouped more logically, has been improved.

Special attention was paid to security. MIUI 13 introduced a fraud protection system that warns of suspicious calls and SMS. For the Redmi Note 10 Pro, the NFC module also worked, which made payment through Google Pay (and its analogues) more stable.

• 🚀 System Acceleration: Improved Snapdragon processor resource allocation algorithm 732G.
• 🔒 Security: New feature to hide private photos and files in the gallery.
• 🎨 Design: Updated system application icons and new design themes.
• 🔋 Battery: Optimizing background processes, prolonging battery life.

💡

Moving to MIUI 13 for the Redmi Note 10 Pro is a must-do step to keep security up to date and get the latest CPU performance optimizations.
