Just install the recovery version beta 9.4.18 through twrp like any other custom ROM.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

if you flash recovery stock MIUI through twrp, you don't lose twrp and you don't need DFE.

DFE is required after you flash vendor firmware, because if you don't your phone will encrypt. DFE is used to prevent the phone from encrypting its data.

Stock MIUI install its on vendor but its set not to.encrypt.

Yes but your Success deoends On whether You are using twrp or adb / fastboot

On flashing any ROM it's usually a good idea to wipe data. If you don't and if you're lucky and if they are similar rooms it can work. Otherwise you will have many issues from crashes to not working at all.

This is bull****. If I wipe my device flash TWRP go inside and flash MIUI at first boot I will loose it immediately. happened me like 99999 times and only works with Xiaomi EU. I reflashed 9.4.15 for testing and I lost it again. flashed back EU and not need DFE.. Not need magisk nothing.

Clean install after wipe:

TWRP>MIUI>Boot>Recovery = Mi Recovery 3.0 always for me

Well yes, I noticed a value fetched for ARB only since 10.2.2.0 stable. I had posted it in one of the comments in Mi Forum. I am not sure about previous builds, but I think there was no ARB at all. Either way, we don't have to worry about it, for now. Still, there is no full clarity on Xiaomi's policies.

New to xiaomi (poco)

Hi guys!

I bought my first xiaomi device yesterday which is a poco F1 India variant running miui global stable 9.6.25 oreo. I have 72hrs of unlock waiting time left.

My question is...

1) Is it required to update to the latest miui pie 10 firmware via miui update prior to flashing any custom rom such as pixelos or lineage once unlock?

Or

2) There is no need to update firmware. All I need to do is flash the latest beryllium-9.4.18-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip from akhilnarang site once my device is unlocked and twrp is installed

I have zero knowledge when it comes to xiaomi devices coming from first generation Android one. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Himverma:
1) Is it required to update to the latest miui pie 10 firmware via miui update prior to flashing any custom rom such as pixelos or lineage once unlock?

--> Not required. But you'll have to install custom recovery (Twrp) to install custom roms or developer roms after your phone's bootloader is unlocked.

2) There is no need to update firmware. All I need to do is flash the latest beryllium-9.4.18-9.0-vendor-firmware.zip from akhilnarang site once my device is unlocked and twrp is installed

--> No need to flash/update firmware if you're planning to flash global beta developer version (Miui). But if you're planning to flash custom roms besides miui based roms, then you may need to upgrade the firmware or as per the demands of that custom rom's developer.

Hope it helps...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] typecastx:
Thanks mate! appreciate it :highfive:

One more question, I still have more than 40hrs left before I am allowed to unlock my pocos bootloader. Will it reset the 72hrs time frame if I update to the latest firmware?

Flash magisk after flash ROM without boot it 50% bootloop. And many not want magisk. I don't care as I have but many people lies here that you not need DFE(or magisk) to keep TWRP on MIUI
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] fubo73:
I did another full wipe, and now started using Magisk 19.0. My current sequence is:

- backup

- enter flight mode + disable all magisk modules

- reboot in recovery

- flash ROM

- flash some mods (DFE, remove regions, magisk, francokernel and others from original ambasadii work)

- reboot

- stay 1-2 mins

- enable all magisk modules

- reboot

- exit flight mode

In my previous sequence, I was debloating after ROM flashing, and after 2-3 updates I was starting having issues (incorrect title string in Settings, apps like clock and messages not opening anymore, ...)

Now I am using magisk module debloater (as I disable it before new upgrading, at next start the ROM should be full and should have no issue to boot). I hope this will be more robust.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Olystem:
If you don't want to flash magisk or DFE.

First you will loose all of your data and also twrp.

After flashing stock miui twrp gone.

You need to flash it again via fastboot method to able to use flashable zip or anything else.

2. Flash Magisk After Flashing MiUi 10 Stock.

You will not loose the twrp.

You can remove the Magisk after finishing setup.

You don't need to flash DFE if you don't care about encryption.

Just flash Magisk.

If you r using F2FS you need to flash F2FS zip to able to boot ROM.

It's very easy to keep TWRP. After flashing ROM dfe etc in TWRP, do not exit TWRP.

In install section, at bottom right of screen, click button:

Flash IMAGE

Changes from showing only zip files to flash to showing img files.

Then choose recovery.img (your TWRP file, extract from inside your TWRP zip package), then:

In next screen click: recovery radio-button

& Flash.

For dark mode it's also very easy, Flash in TWRP:

all_region.zip

Otherwise after a few days, miui automatically deletes third party themes installed.

Then install from play store, app:

Theme Swap

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sid.themeswap

Then from inside that app Flash this theme:

Stock-Black Mode.mtz

I uploaded both files (zip + mtz file) in this thread, search this thread at top of this screen for both files.

Why do miui make 9.4.18 laggy again?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ron_hyatt:
even with theme swap app, mirape app and miui theme editor......flashing all region fix and changing region.....3rd party themes applied go back to stock themes after few hours!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Himverma:
No. I myself tried it. I accidentally relocked the bootloader while flashing the rom via miFlash tool. But the unlocking didn't take time, the bootloader was unlocked instantly. So no worries
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipdev:
Magisk works fine with unencrypted or encrypted devices.

You do not need to Disable Force Encryption to root using Magisk.

Note:

Without knowing your current setup and what you are installing.

There may be a reason why you need to be/stay unencrypted.

Not true. I don't use the other apps you mentioned nor change region. For over six months I never lost the black theme. It works in settings, notifications etc.

Except a few apps, even on my computer I only use apps & software with black themes/modes. My browsers have multi dark theme extensions, etc. For over fifteen years I used many black skin themes for Windows (there are many Windows themes forums for years which change Windows system modules) until recently Microsoft gave black folder options too. Many devs made black skins and themes for their software after I contacted them and showed them how over many years. I still do.

I posted screenshots of my phone before, I never lost the theme even once since last year, see my post #1019 at bottom:

https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/miui-10-stable-global-version-rolled-t3858866/page102

I also use a substratum theme which makes even my apps black, All region zip:

https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/miui-10-stable-global-version-rolled-t3858866/page103

its kind of difficult to record the screen for one whole hour to show you how third party mtz themes cant be imported and with theme swap app the theme is applied but it reverts back to classic stock theme.

No need, I believe you. Must be some conflicting settings or mod or app etc. You also believe many many users of all_region.zip have been using 3rd party themes since last year with no problem on both global and eu versions. I'm on eu version.

http://miui.dedyk.gq

But global users are also using all_region. Maybe try not to set region somewhere else or remove suspecting settings mods apps etc one by one.

Good luck.

We never ever use such language here.... you may disagree with what I say but don't ever use such language ever again...

Your English is not very good so I'm not sure I understand what you're saying..

If your phone is in encrypted, when you flash through twrpp you will always lose everything...

This happens with MIUI or any other rom that you might flash.

In your statement above you don't know if your phone was encrypted or not, so it is most likely it was encrypted.

===

happened me like 99999 times

===

and it'll happen 99999 x 99999 as long as you are encrypted.

You should read and understand how encryption Works in Android Pie and on the pocophone F1.

Read about DFE.

and remember MIUI for the most part acts like the phone is encrypted even if it isn't...

If you understand how these things work you won't have a problem and you won't be losing your data...

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipdev:
I was recently testing with xiaomi.eu roms. Still have to look into the main differences.

Most of what I can find is just system(rom) related.

It does not contain a recovery, nor looks for an expected one.

So the recovery you have installed will stay.

The xiaomi.eu vendor is by default encryptable so, no need to modify or flash a DFE file.

The kernel and firmware appear to be the same as corresponding miui_global builds.

- Clean Install. (Using TWRP)

Install and boot into twrp recovery.

Wipe-> Format Date-> "yes"-> Reboot-> Recovery

Wipe-> Advanced Wipe-> (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage)

Wipe-> Swipe to Factory Reset -> Reboot-> Recovery

Copy the files to your phone. (or use adb sideload option)

Install xiaomi.eu (and Magisk if you want to use it)

Reboot to system

Note:

Initial install needs to be unencrypted.

You can update xiaomi.eu if you encrypted the phone.

- The option is in settings. Buried in (system & device) Aditional settings, Privacy, Encryption & credentials.

Encryption still seems to be an issue with this device/rom.

I would recommend staying unencrypted until it stabilizes on this device/rom, it's just another headache waiting to happen.

Test 2:

Clean install, wipes only, v10.2.2.0 (Still encrypted)

-> Mysterious encryption password needed.

Cheers. :)

First of all bull**** is a general word what mean it's not cover the reality. I am XDA member like from the first Android phones released ;)

I never encrypted my device.

Every time I perform a full wipe and flash any ROM what not stock MIUI my TWRP stay on device

If I flash stock MIUI and reboot next time I always see Mi Recovery when I press Volume Up at boot = enter recovery mode

No encryption, clean install after a full wipe.

I have no issues with Xiaomi EU but it always the same with stock MIUI. And like 50 other members said exactly the same that they need magisk or DFE to keep TWRP.

MIUI stock ROM contain recovery what mean once you flash your ROM you will immediately loose TWRP if you won't flash it again ... Just read back like 3 post before this the quote from ipdev clearly explained.

Yep, I guess everyone with our fts_ts panel has that problem. You can read about it here: https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/help/damn-screen-freezes-t3912069/

Only thing that helps for now is to flash the stock kernel. Here you find the most recent ones as flashable zip, I suggest bookmarking this. :D https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zGc3v1ahsN2dpkPppNAJJMDHKl8jnQmj (for your 4.18 vendor you would take "kernel-beryllium_global_9.4.18-ak2.zip")

The most recent zip is usually ready a day or even faster after the new firmware/vendor is releasesd.

Of course you can extract the boot.img yourself and flash it, but this is more comfortable. (:

As of now, no custom kernel will work. I think the issue is that all custom kernels use a relatively old base which does not have the fixed touch panel drivers. I don't really know why it isn't possible to use a newer base, but there will be reasons for that. I have asked franco in his thread and he says he's looking into it.

Hope that helps for now. With the flashed stock kernel everything works just fine.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bitye:

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] wozhere:
They fix in one release then pack an older version of Webview in the next, this happened many times, some with good recent Webview some with older. So often EU ROM miui crashed webkit apps (many borwsers etc). So one has to update Webview manually in play store. They keep doing this to some releases, pack older Webview.

Secondly, that is not the point of my link, the Webview sysapp was updated by google today, has nothing to do with what MIUI packed into it's ROM last week.

Global ROM does not use Webview apparently. But EU ROM version users should regularly upgrade their Webview in Play store when updated by google anyway as it runs many apps.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipdev:
I did not notice a difference.

xiaomi.eu_multi seems to match the corresponding miui_global build when it comes to firmware and kernel.

I was just curious if any one tried the xiaomi.eu_multi files for more than a day or two.

I normally only run a day or two before I format, update miui_global firmware, vendor and kernel.

Then clean flash a few roms.
