Although for owners of Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro the arrival of MIUI 12 was great news, we will have to wait even longer. Due to various errors, the update with MIUI 12 is stopped for the moment for both models. Two terminals that came to the market three years ago and today are still a widely used and widespread smartphone for its benefits.
Through Xiaomi’s own official forum, the company has changed the manual download links to update MIUI 12 in the Redmi Note 5 and in the Redmi Note 5 Pro model due to a notice informing us that the update is covered by Bootloop problems . After installing the update, some users have found that their mobile phone does not go past the power-on screen or basically remains black, something that we have also seen recently in the Mi A3 with the update to Android 11.
In addition, the manufacturer warns us that if we try to install the ROM with My Flash, in case we find it in other web portals, we can run into this same problem. Something that we must take into account, especially if we no longer have a warranty on the device.
Fortunately, those affected have not been many, since in Spain, the terminals that have received it are very few. However, the update had already been sent to different serial numbers and we can continue to receive it for a few hours. By just entering Settings> About the phones and touching MIUI, we will check if the update with problems is waiting for us, although we should not be able to install it since it has been withdrawn.
What do I do if I receive the update on my mobile?
In the event that we receive the notification with the update in the next few days or weeks, or on the contrary, you appreciate us by checking it manually, what we will have to do is ignore it. Some users have already shown that they continue to receive the update, but nevertheless they cannot install MIUI 12 on the Redmi Note 5 because the package has been withdrawn.
This causes the errors that we are showing you, allowing you to try again later and so on. Now that you know the problem, you should not try to update both the Redmi Note 5 and the Redmi Note 5 Pro, we would only have to wait for Xiaomi to solve the bugs, in which it has mentioned that it already works so that MIUI 12 arrives as soon as possible to these iconic models without problems.
