Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ Overview
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is an Android device from Xiaomi, released in 2023. It combines the Mediatek Dimensity 7200 Ultra (4 nm) and a 6.67-inch display, running Android 13. This page tracks its full specifications, rooting status, and the bootloader and recovery notes that apply to it.
Rooting the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is a 2023 Android device from Xiaomi. It runs the Mediatek Dimensity 7200 Ultra (4 nm), a MediaTek platform, flashed via SP Flash Tool on many models with BROM as the deep-recovery path. Shipped software: Android 13, up to 3 major Android upgrades, HyperOS. For this model the realistic path is: the brand-specific unlock described below, followed by Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 1–3 hours.
Difficulty
Moderate — brand-specific steps involved
Typical time
1–3 hours
Method
Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot) — KernelSU also viable (GKI kernel)
Bootloader unlock on Xiaomi
All Xiaomi-family unlocks run through the official Mi Unlock tool with a bound Mi account and a mandatory waiting period (historically 72 hours to 30 days). HyperOS added stricter account eligibility rules; nothing legitimate skips the wait.
Platform notes
MediaTek platforms flash through SP Flash Tool rather than plain fastboot on many models, and expose BROM mode as a deep-recovery path. Correct scatter/firmware matching matters more here than on Snapdragon devices.
Before you start
- Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.
- Never use the "clean all and lock" option in Mi Flash unless deliberately re-locking on full stock firmware — it is the most common Xiaomi hard-brick cause.
- Anti-rollback protection makes downgrading firmware dangerous on this brand; always flash equal-or-newer versions.
- As a device launched on Android 13, the Magisk target is typically init_boot.img, not boot.img — patching the wrong image is the top bootloop cause on newer models.
FAQ
Can I root the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+?
Yes. The bootloader must first be unlocked with the official Mi Unlock tool, which requires a bound Mi account and a mandatory waiting period. After the unlock, root is Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot).
Does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ support custom recovery (TWRP)?
Popular Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models usually get TWRP or OrangeFox builds — check that one exists for this exact codename. A custom recovery is optional for rooting: after the Mi Unlock waiting period, Magisk installs by flashing a patched init_boot image over fastboot.
Will rooting the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ void my warranty?
Xiaomi will generally treat a rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to rooting.
What Android version does the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro+ run?
It runs Android 13, up to 3 major Android upgrades, HyperOS. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
