Do not continue after something fails!
Before you start, make sure you’ve deleted every Google account from the device on a fresh install. This will prevent “Factory Reset Protection” (FRP) from kicking in during the setup steps.

Flashing instructions
Install crDroid for Mi 11X Pro (haydn)
Pre-installation:
- Download the latest ROM file (referred to as crdroid.zip).
- GApps package (optional) (from the download page, GApps button).
- Recovery (from the download page, Recovery button).
- A PC with platform-tools working (
adb/fastboot).
Step 1: Boot recovery:
- Download the required files mentioned in the pre-installation section.
- On your PC, open the platform-tools command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux/macOS).
adb -d reboot bootloader
-
Or boot into Fastboot mode manually using Volume Down + Power.
-
Once you are in Fastboot mode, check if your device is connected correctly:
fastboot devices
- Boot the recovery using:
fastboot boot recovery.img
WARNING:
- Do not use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
- Use the recovery image downloaded from the crDroid download page.
- Replace recovery.img with the actual filename if necessary.
Step 2: Install crDroid:
- Reboot into recovery.
- Make sure you have downloaded the latest required files.
- From recovery, select Apply Update → Apply from ADB.
- Start ADB sideload.
- On your PC, install crDroid using:
adb sideload crDroid*.zip
- Once the ROM installation is complete, reboot recovery.
If You Want Gapps
- If you want to install GApps, sideload the GApps package in the same way:
adb sideload gapps*.zip
-
When everything is finished, format data for a clean installation.
-
If recovery shows a "Can't merge status" error, reboot into Fastboot mode and run:
fastboot -w
- This will erase userdata. You can also format data directly from crDroid Recovery.
Via OTA
-
Go to Settings → System → Updater.
-
Download the latest build.
-
Select Install and let the update finish.
-
If you use GApps and they need to be reinstalled, reboot into recovery and sideload the GApps package again.
-
Reboot...
