Flashing Requirements
- Windows PC with Xiaomi USB drivers and Mi Flash Tool installed, plus ~15–20 GB free disk space for extracted fastboot files.
- Unlocked bootloader on Redmi Pad 2 if flashing via fastboot; locked devices should use official OTA or recovery ROMs instead.
- Reliable USB‑C cable and direct motherboard USB port (avoid unstable hubs) to prevent disconnects during flashing.
- Battery charged to at least 50–60 % to reduce the risk of shutdown mid‑flash, which can cause serious bricks.
- Full backup of internal storage, since recommended “clean all” fastboot modes will wipe user data and apps.
How to Flash the Firmware
Quick steps – Mi Flash Tool (taiko fastboot ROMs)
- Download the correct taiko_…_images_… .tgz for your region and extract it until you see the images folder and flash_all*.bat scripts.
- Open Mi Flash Tool, click “Select” and point it to the extracted ROM directory.
- Boot Redmi Pad 2 into fastboot mode, connect via USB and click “Refresh” to confirm the tablet is detected.
- Choose “clean all” (recommended for major system repairs or Android 16 upgrade on CN) and press “Flash”, waiting for a green success message.
- Reboot; first boot into HyperOS after a full flash can take several minutes while apps and services are optimized.
Quick steps – fastboot script (flash_all.bat)
- Install platform‑tools (fastboot) on your PC and open a command window in the extracted taiko ROM folder.
- Enter fastboot mode on the tablet, connect it and verify detection with fastboot devices.
- Run flash_all.bat (or the appropriate script) to erase and flash all partitions defined by the ROM.
- Allow all fastboot commands to complete without disconnecting the cable or closing the window.
- Reboot Redmi Pad 2 and complete setup; if HyperOS still feels laggy, consider a manual factory reset and review installed apps.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What issues can these taiko ROMs fix?
A full fastboot flash can recover Redmi Pad 2 units stuck at the boot logo, affected by failed OTA updates, severe lag or app crashes caused by corrupted HyperOS system files or experiments with mods.
Should I use HyperOS 3.0.2.0 (China) or stay on HyperOS 2.0 (global)?
Chinese devices (25040RP0AC) can upgrade to Android 16 / HyperOS 3 via OS3.0.2.0.WOVCNXM, while global/EEA/IN/TW/ID/TR/RU builds currently stay on Android 15 / HyperOS 2 with newer security patches. Cross‑flashing CN and global ROMs is possible with unlocked bootloader but may affect languages, Google apps and OTA behaviour.
Can these updates improve battery life and performance?
HyperOS 2.0.20x builds and HyperOS 3 releases include stability fixes and updated security patches that can reduce random crashes and some lag, but users still report mixed experiences with battery drain and UI smoothness depending on apps and settings.
How do I confirm my Redmi Pad 2 codename is really taiko?
You can verify codename via fastboot (fastboot getvar product), ADB shell properties, or by checking certification trackers and ROM portals that map Redmi Pad 2 model numbers (25040RP0A*) to taiko.
