It’s possible to get the custom recovery from the official site, or you can download the unofficial version from the XDA developer forum if you don’t find the official one.
On the other hand, you have to download the platform tools setup and extract files on the PC so that you can operate the command prompt in a hassle-free manner in the upcoming part.

Note: Before you enter into the fastboot mode, we recommend you enable the OEM to unlock and do USB debugging once you have already unlocked the bootloader section. Inside the developer options, you need to confirm MI Unlock Status, which needs to be “this device is unlocked”.

- Start with turning off the phone.
- Now, press the Volume Down + Power key.
- The device will access the fastboot mode.
- Interlink the phone to the PC using the USB cable.
