This catalog is not affiliated with Xiaomi or the Mi, REDMI, and POCO brands. We are just enthusiasts and simply collect publicly available links to official firmware and updates, publishing them in the form of a catalog.
An update arrived on the device, but there is no link in the catalog. Why?
We publish links only to existing files. When an update “arrives” on your device, it is usually a so-called OTA patch that is downloaded directly to the device.
OTA updates are not immediately available for direct download — they are not published publicly until the Recovery ROM is released.
Until Xiaomi developers publish the corresponding file, it is not possible to provide a link to it.
What is the difference between a Fastboot ROM release and other updates?
Fastboot ROM is a separate type of firmware. Its release is not related to OTA or Recovery ROM. In some cases, Fastboot files appear in the catalog with a delay — from several days to a couple of months.
Therefore, on the website, we indicate the actual firmware build date as the Fastboot ROM release date, not the moment it appears in the catalog.
Why is the device not listed as EOL even though its support period has ended?
Because it is not included in the official EOL list (End of Life) from Xiaomi.
Many media outlets assume that a device becomes EOL immediately after its declared support period ends, but this is not always the case. We have seen cases where Xiaomi continued releasing full firmware updates for such devices even after the official support period expired (and these were not just critical security patches).
In general, Xiaomi has many models that have not received updates for several years, but are still not formally included in the EOL list.
Is this really original firmware?
Yes. We simply collect links to official firmware in the catalog. All links in the catalog lead to unmodified original files. We do not modify firmware, do not interfere with archive contents, and do not replace links. This guarantees that you receive a clean and safe version of the firmware without any third-party software.
