This will in turn allow flashing tons of mods and tweaks onto your device. Talking about which, it is the ability to flash ROMs that has always been at the top of the checklist for the tech enthusiast. In this regard, there’s already a plentitude of custom ROMs available for these sets of devices. However, the users have their priorities set on the one from the Xiaomi EU Community. This is perhaps the best optimized custom ROM that comes with a host of other benefits. It is lightweight, does not have unnecessary bloatware, is free of ads, consumes less battery and system resources, and gets blessed with the software updates at a quicker pace in comparison with the stock MIUI. All in all, its rise to fame is there for all to see. So on that note, let’s now make you aware of the steps to install the Xiaomi EU ROM onto the Redmi K40 and K40 Pro devices. Follow along.

How to Install Xiaomi EU ROM on Redmi K40/K40 Pro

The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow in the exact same sequence as mentioned. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

STEP 1: Install Android SDK

First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide to flash the Xiaomi EU ROM onto Redmi K40/K40 Pro.

STEP 2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking

Next up, you will also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.

So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.

STEP 3: Unlock Bootloader on Redmi K40/K40 Pro

Since this is an unofficial ROM (a custom ROM to be precise), you will need to unlock the device’s bootloader. However, doing so will wipe off all the data and could nullify the device’s warranty as well. So if that’s all well and good, then please refer to our guide on How to Unlock the Bootloader on any Xiaomi Device. Once that is done, you may move over to the next step to install the Xiaomi EU ROM onto the Redmi K40/K40 Pro devices.
