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 Xiaomi 13 Pro Fastboot ROM

Next up, download the Fastboot ROM for your device. As for this guide, I am using the Xiaomi 13 Pro [nuwa] Fastboot Stable ROM version V14.0.6.0.TMBMIXM [Direct Download Link]. You are free to try any version of your choice, but it is recommended to try the newer builds only and 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,

V14.0.6.0 – Firmware version
T – Android version (T-> Android 13).
MB – Smartphone model code (MB= Xiaomi 13 Pro)
MI – 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 Xiaomi 13 Pro via Fastboot Commands.

STEP 3: Move Xiaomi 13 Pro Fastboot ROM Files to Platform Tools

To begin with, extract the downloaded firmware file. Once the extraction is complete, you should see the following files:
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 Xiaomi 13 Pro device via Fastboot Commands.

STEP 4: Boot Bootloop/Soft Bricked Xiaomi 13 Pro 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.

STEP 5: Unbrick Xiaomi 13 Pro 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.
