Flash Android 16/15 Custom ROMs on Redmi 13C/Poco C65

This guide will show you the steps to flash Android 15/16 Custom ROMs on Redmi 13C/Poco C65. While I had already cracked down the code of unlocking the bootloader on HyperOS 1 , I was yet to do so on HyperOS 2 [UPDATE: bought this device, updated to HyperOS 2, and unlocked the bootloader using this script ]. With a plethora of requests lining up for that, I could do two things- either carry out that task on my Poco F5 or buy a new Xiaomi device.

The first option was out of the window because that was my sole Xiaomi device used for testing mods and ROMs. So I opted for the second approach, but the device which I am planning to buy should checkmark the following prerequisites: it should be running HyperOS 2 [obviously], it should be a MediaTek device [because I wanted to test out the SP Flash Tool and MTK Exploit as well], it should be blessed with Custom ROMs based on the latest OS release, and finally, it should not be much heavy on my pockets.

Well, guess what? The Redmi 13C/Poco C65 managed to checkmark all these prerequisites with ease. So for now, let’s keep our attention on flashing Android 15/16 Custom ROMs on your Redmi 13C. Follow along.

Downgrade to HyperOS 1 [Android 14]

You wouldn’t be able to flash any Custom ROM or recovery on your Redmi 13C/Poco C65 if it is running HyperOS 2/Android 15. So downgrade it to Android 14 HyperOS 1 before starting the flashing process.

The Prerequisites for Flashing Custom ROMs

  1. Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools on the PC.
  2. Now enable USB Debugging & OEM Unlocking on your device.
  3. Then, unlock the bootloader on your device using our tutorial.
  4. Rename the ROM to rom.zip and transfer it to Platform Tools.
  5. Likewise, transfer the IMG files to platform-tools folder as well.
  6. Now open Command Prompt inside platform-tools and type in: adb reboot bootloader
  7. Type the below command and verify if you’re getting a serial ID: fastboot devices
  8. If you’re not getting any ID, then please install Fastboot Drivers.

Before flashing a custom ROM, you’ll have to flash the factory preloader.bin file. Likewise, when you go back to stock ROM, again flash this file before flashing any other Custom ROM. Here’s how it can be done:

  1. Download the preloader.bin file [ mirror ] and transfer it to the platform-tools folder.
  2. Next up, boot your device to Fastboot Mode using the steps given above.
  3. Now open Command Prompt inside the platform-tools folder.
  4. Then type in the below commands to flash this preloader.bin: fastboot flash preloader_a preloader_gale.bin fastboot flash preloader_b preloader_gale.bin
  5. You may now proceed ahead and flash the desired ROM file.

It is also recommended that you back up your device’s IMEI. There are two ways of doing so:

  • The universal approach: Use the ADB Commands to back up the IMEI Partition [works across all Android devices].
  • Only for Redmi 13C/Poco C65: Flash this ZIP file in Custom Recovery [it will only work on our device, codename gale].

  • stepik 3 months ago Reply @retromusician_official před 0 sekundami Hello there! I am the builder of 2 ROMs you featured on your channel. InfinityX 3.1 and EvolutionX 11.X. I’m not upset that my work wasn’t credited. No. I couldn’t care less. I would appreciate my TG channel atleast getting featured on your website though… Also, just to mention, InfinityX was and never will be maintained by ME, but has been taken over by Apichat_chata on telegram, who isn’t building gApps variants, but only Vanilla. For now, I continue building EvolutionX, and would like you to replace the 11.1 build on your website with the newest build from yesterday, 11.4. I’d also want you to note somewhere, if possible, that I made the OTA updater application work in my builds (only build which doesn’t support it is this 11.1 build 😢), and thus it would save you a lot of work! Thank you lot. (ps. if you have any questions regarding my builds, or any of my other work, or simply want to reach out regarding anything about my builds, just message me on my Telegram: https://t.me/RetroMusician or on my groups: https://t.me/+l9wKL_Ze6II0ZGFk ) Also join the 13C community while you’re on there. Why not 🙂 Anyways, thank you a lot for reading my long message. Your loyal builder and follower – stepik (i copied this from another channel i commented on too so thats why theres mention of evolutionx)
