The Xiaomi Flash Tool can only flash the Fastboot ROM files, so Recovery ROM or OTA ROM Package cannot be flashed by the Xiaomi Flash Tool. The fastboot files can be flashed through this tool in Fastboot Mode or EDL Mode.
The downloaded file will be a .rar package, so you’ll need to extract its contents. To do this, locate the Stock Firmware file, then right-click on it, select ‘7-Zip’ and then ‘Extract here’. The extracted folder should contain the tool’s executable, libraries, and other files. The Fastboot ROM package you downloaded is compressed with gzip in .tgz file format. So, the next step is to extract the contents of the package (decompress it) to get the actual firmware files you’ll need for flashing. The first thing is to take a complete backup of all your data stored on your device.
