This guide will show you the steps to unbrick your Redmi Note 13 Pro/Poco X6 5G via Fastboot Commands. The devices from this Chinese OEM have always been known to be quite an active player in custom development. Whether it’s flashing custom ROMs and kernels or gaining administrative privileges by rooting the device via Magisk, the possibilities stand endless. However, this is just one side of the coin. Carrying out these tweaks has its fair share of risks.
Just a slight deviation from the instruction or using a corrupt file might end your device in a soft-bricked or bootlooped state. When that happens, then you will only be able to access the Fastboot Mode, at the very most. Well, even then, there’s nothing much to worry about as you can still unbrick your Redmi Note 13 Pro/Poco X6 5G via Fastboot Commands. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that.

Do note that the below process will wipe off all the data from your device. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Download Android SDK
To begin with, download and install the Android SDK Platform Tools. This is the official ADB binary file provided by Google and is used to execute ADB and Fastboot Commands. So download and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so shall give you the platform-tools folder, which we will be using throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Download Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G/Poco X6 5G Fastboot ROM
Next up, download the Fastboot ROM for your device. As for this guide, I am using the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G Fastboot Stable ROM version V14.0.2.0.TNRINXM. You are free to try any version of your choice, but it is recommended to try the newer builds only and that of your region. To download the firmware, you may use the official MIUI Forum.
Or if that is inaccessible, you may also take the help of a third-party site such as Xiaomi Firmware Updater. Furthermore, if you wish to understand the Xiaomi Fastboot firmware version, you may refer to our comprehensive guide on What is MIUI Fastboot ROM for Xiaomi, Mi, Redmi, Poco Devices. Or here’s the instruction in short,
- 14.0.2.0. – Firmware version
- T – Android version (T-> Android 13).
- NR – Smartphone model code (NR= Redmi Note 13 Pro)
- IN – Firmware build type (CN for China | IN for India | MI for Global | EU for Europe)
- XM – Firmware version code
Now that you have got hold of the required firmware file, proceed ahead to the next step to unbrick Redmi Note 13 Pro via Fastboot Commands.

- So head over to the Images folder and the following files will be present there:
- Select all these files via Ctrl+A shortcut keys and copy them to the platform-tools folder.
- Once done, proceed to the next step to unbrick your Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G/Poco X6 5G device via Fastboot Commands.
STEP 4: Boot Bootloop/Soft Bricked Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G/Poco X6 5G to Fastboot Mode
- To begin with, you will have to boot your device to the Fastboot Mode. The first step for that requires you to power it off.
- If you cannot do so (due to your device being stuck in a bootloop) then the only option left is to let the entire battery drain out (remember the good old days when we could easily remove the battery!).
- Once your device has turned off, press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons for a few seconds.
- This will boot your device to Fastboot Mode. You should see the famous Mi Bunny Logo with the Fastboot text underneath it.
STEP 5: Unbrick Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G/Poco X6 5G via Fastboot Commands
- Head over to the platform-tools folder, type in CMD in the address bar, and hit Enter. This will launch the Command Prompt.
- Now type in the below commands, one at a time, in this CMD window [the first command will reset your device, it is compulsory].
- Moreover, if you get any error after executing any of these commands, then don’t leave the process mid-way.
- Rather continue executing the rest of the commands and then check the results.
