Redmi Note 12R & Redmi 12 5G & POCO M6 Pro 5G (sky)

Download HyperOS 2 Firmware for SKY (Redmi 12 5G / POCO M6 Pro 5G / Note 12R)

If your device is from Xiaomi’s “sky” family (Redmi Note 12R / Redmi 12 5G / POCO M6 Pro 5G), the firmware files you provided are official HyperOS 2 fastboot ROMs for multiple regions, plus one Xiaomi.eu community ZIP.

The “sky” codename is used across multiple rebrands (Redmi 12 5G, Redmi Note 12R, and POCO M6 Pro 5G), so the safest way to pick the correct file is matching your region/build code (CNXM/MIXM/INXM/EUXM/TWXM/JPXM) rather than relying only on the marketing name.

File Selection Guide

  • Step 1 — Confirm you’re “sky”: Redmi 12 5G shares codename sky with rebrands like Redmi Note 12R and POCO M6 Pro 5G, so files are organized by region branch rather than only by marketing name.
  • Step 2 — Match the region suffix: Use the suffix in your current “About phone” build (or your device’s intended region) to choose the correct branch: CNXM (China), MIXM (Global), INXM (India), EUXM (EEA/Europe), TWXM (Taiwan), JPXM (Japan).
  • Step 3 — Understand what “Fastboot.tgz” means: Every .tgz listed below is a fastboot ROM package (factory-style images), typically used when you need a full system reinstall or recovery from software corruption.
  • Step 4 — Xiaomi.eu ZIP is not official: The xiaomi.eu_SKY_... file is hosted under the Xiaomi.eu SourceForge project and should be treated as a community ROM, not an “untouched official ROM,” so it belongs in a separate (optional) section.

SKY Device + Firmware Details

Device Family (same codename) Redmi Note 12R / Redmi 12 5G / POCO M6 Pro 5G (codename: sky)
Why names differ Redmi 12 5G and POCO M6 Pro 5G are confirmed as rebrands sharing the “sky” codename (and Redmi Note 12R also shares it).
Chipset (common base) Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 (as referenced for the Redmi 12 5G / POCO M6 Pro 5G “sky” family).
Android Version (files above) Android 15.0
ROM Type Official Fastboot ROM packages (.tgz) for multiple regions (China/Global/India/EEA/Taiwan/Japan).
What’s publicly confirmed in changelogs These SKY HyperOS builds are presented with security patch updates and “increased system security” notes on the tracker listings.

Notes: If you’re unsure whether your unit is Redmi 12 5G or POCO M6 Pro 5G (or a Note 12R), check “About phone” for the exact build suffix (CNXM/MIXM/INXM/EUXM/TWXM/JPXM) and flash only the matching regional branch.


Flashing Requirements

Fastboot flashing can erase data, so create a full backup first and keep the battery above 50%.

  • A Windows PC and a reliable USB cable.
  • A tool compatible with Xiaomi fastboot ROM flashing (Mi Flash Tool is commonly used for official fastboot packages).
  • Ability to extract .tgz archives fully (you should see images/scripts after extraction).
  • If flashing fails due to device/bootloader restrictions, avoid forcing it—switch to an official recovery/OTA update path for your region instead.

📱Quick Flashing Guide (Xiaomi Fastboot ROM)

  1. Download the correct ROM: Choose the right region build (e.g., OS2.0.205.0.VMWMIXM Global or OS2.0.208.0.VMWEUXM EEA) and download the matching .tgz package from the links above.
  2. Extract completely: Unpack the .tgz until you have the fastboot images/scripts folder structure.
  3. Boot into Fastboot mode: Power off the phone and enter Fastboot mode, then connect to the PC.
  4. Flash using Mi Flash Tool: Load the extracted folder in Mi Flash Tool and flash (pick the option that matches your needs).
  5. Reboot and wait: The first boot after a full reflash can take longer than normal.

For a detailed, step-by-step tutorial with pictures and videos (recommended), use only the guides relevant to these files:

Some Xiaomi fastboot ROM packages also include batch scripts such as flash_all.bat, which is a known Xiaomi fastboot flashing script style used in many ROM packages.


Optional: Xiaomi.eu ROM (Not Official)

You also provided a Xiaomi.eu ZIP: xiaomi.eu_SKY_OS2.0.205.0.VMWCNXM_15.zip, which (by filename) targets SKY and references the China branch build OS2.0.205.0.VMWCNXM on Android 15.0.

Because Xiaomi.eu packages are not listed as “official untouched ROMs” on the official-ROM tracker pages, they should be treated as a separate, community-based flashing path that may have different requirements than the official .tgz fastboot packages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which phone uses these “sky” HyperOS ROMs?

“Sky” is a shared codename across multiple rebrands, including Redmi 12 5G and POCO M6 Pro 5G (and Redmi Note 12R), so the same firmware family can appear under different names.

How do I choose between VMWCNXM, VMWMIXM, VMWEUXM, VMWINXM, VMWTWXM, and VMWJPXM?

Pick the file that matches your region/build suffix: CNXM (China), MIXM (Global), EUXM (EEA), INXM (India), TWXM (Taiwan), JPXM (Japan).

Is sky_global_images_OS2.0.205.0.VMWMIXM_20251024… a recovery ROM?

No—because it’s a .tgz “images” package, it’s listed as a Fastboot ROM for the Global branch.

What Android version is included in these SKY fastboot ROMs?

The tracker listings show Android 15.0 for these HyperOS 2 “sky” builds across the regions you provided.

Does OS2.0.205.0 / OS2.0.208.0 fix battery drain or lag on Redmi 12 5G?

The public tracker notes shown for these builds emphasize security patch updates and “increased system security,” so it would be inaccurate to promise specific battery/lag fixes without an official per-bug changelog statement.

Why do some sites show slightly different file sizes for the same ROM?

ROM tracker pages may show rounded sizes and mirrors may report sizes differently, so the most consistent verification is matching the filename and (when available) the listed MD5 hash.

Is the xiaomi.eu_SKY_OS2.0.205.0.VMWCNXM_15.zip file “official” Xiaomi firmware?

XM Firmware Updater’s SKY page explicitly states it lists “official untouched HyperOS ROMs,” and Xiaomi.eu packages are separate community distributions, so it should not be described as an official Xiaomi ROM.
