If you want a backup so you can get back to your current ROM then in official twrp (might also work on other recoveries) go to backup and select all partitions and backup.

To install any custom ROM...

Unlock bootloader (one time task unless you relock it with Xiaomi miflash)

Install recovery using adb/fastboot - I recommend official twrp from twrp.me

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot boot recovery.img

In twrp

Format data

Wipe everything except external SD/otg

flash vendor/firmware (9.2.25 right now - don't use 9.3.1 or later for now otherwise the ROM won't boot)

Flash the ROM

Flash gapps if not already included in ROM

Wipe cache/dalvik

Boot

If you want magisk then after first boot go back into twrp

Flash magisk installer zip

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

Magisk app should appear

If you don't want encryption then after every flash of vendor/firmware flash dfe to patch it to NOT encrypt.

Personally I never use it and don't recommend it.

If you subsequently dirty flash an update of the same ROM disable magisk modules first as some may cause bootloops.

I am surprised how good it's working for an alpha!!! Portrait mode is so damn good. Front camera is the issue for me at the moment . It's changing the colours after the shot. Sometimes to colourful sometimes to grey..... Can't wait for a stable version.

Front camera seems fine for me. Though the rear camera is very saturated. Well it's probably going to be fixed soon.

I'm about unlock my phone and install this ROM.

Is it ok if I install it over Miui 9 or is there any benefit in having Miui 10?

Also, is there any TRWP that is incompatible with this ROM? I am planing on installing the one that came recently that solves the encrypted partition issue.

This really is a great smooth fast fluid Rom... Many thanks to the OP and the Devs at Lineage for their amazing work! ???

The only bug that I have which annoys me a lot is the WhatsApp camera and Viber camera...

WhatsApp photos are over exposed and sometimes you can't switch between cameras...I actually thought it was the Gcam conflicting but I have uninstalled that days ago and updated to the latest Rom with the fixes of camera related issues but it's still there...

The Viber camera force closes the Viber app altogether...

I await a fix for the camera problem...I read this thread a few times a day and I do try to help out others with my experience

For the people having SD card issues did you try with a brand new SD card?... Did he re-download the Rom in case of corrupted download? I think it could be a mounting issue there....

I have used "Magisk SELinux manager" module for change the status.

First time that I suffered the hotspot problem, I tried to do a clean flashing. At first it works pretty well, but after I install "Magisk SELinux manager" module to change SELinux mode to Enfocing mode. It was broken. So I remove it and it works again.

If you didn't install that module or changing SELinux mode before then I don't know the root cause, I'm sorry.

But you can help developer by capturing some logcat while turn hotspot on.

Firstly, the ability of controlling access to wifi and cellular data along with PRIVACY GUARD is to give LOS users a better control over android devices, HOW IS GOOGLE ABLE TO OVERRIDE LOS SECURITY CHECKS AND FORCE GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES AND PLAY TO USE DATA DESPITE DISABLE EVERY GOOGLE FEATURE?

Users of LOS are fine with such huge lapse in privacy?

Is NetGuard going to stop this problem a 100%? Ideally LOS by default should be able to take care of this, just because Gapps is flashed it need not use data despite the user completely disabling it.

I formatted my cache dalvik cache system data internal storage, installed vender firmware, installed DFE immediately after, installed the rom (+ gapps), then booted into my new OS. I checked the encryption and it said "encrypted"

I repeated the process three times.

My only conclusion is that the DFE zips that I used were fake files... and that's why I don't trust DFE files.

I will try and find an official DFE and try it with that.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] abeloman:

Clear and failsafe steps for flashing ROMs are already posted many times by me and others so I don't know why you don't just follow them and you won't have these problems.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] droidjunky90:
first of all format isn't wipe, second of all there is no such thing as format data, cache dalvik, cache, system.

there is Format Data and Wipe the rest of the mentioned which is (cache, system, dalvik cache and data) you don't want an encryption you can just Format Data and then do the wipes, don't know why are you flashing DFE nor what's the use of flashing such zip file, given the fact that it's never important to do so, many seniors here never flashed it, nor recommended it and yet users all over XDA are all about flashing DFE in the process.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
+1!

OK - yet again ....

To flash a rom....

In twrp

Format data

Wipe eveyrhting (apart from external sd card and usb otg - assuming they're mounted and you're using them to store zips to flash)

Flash latest vendor/firmware - for now assume 9.2.25.

And NO - 9.3.x won't work at the moment and V10.2.2.0 is NOT the latest!

Flash the ROM

Flash gapps if desired and not already included

Wipe cache/dalvik (maybe placebo but no harm)

Reboot and enjoy

Hello,

I wanted to install the official Lineage rom rom but in the Twrp I had an error message 7 (a firmware problem apparently). I solved the problem by installing the vendor firmware.

Lineageos official does not contain poco F1 firmware?

There is only the vendor firmware?

Why in the guide lineageos official installation it does not indicate that it is necessary to install a firmware?

Thank you for your answers
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
When you flash the "vendor" file that is in the OP, you are already flashing BOTH firmware AND vendor. If you still get the error, that just means that you've flashed an outdated vendor+firmware. Use 9.2.25.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Richard.dco:
I do not understand your answer. In fact I wanted to know if official Lineageos needed that one flash a firmware and why?

other custom roms do not have to flash firmware
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:

All Poco F1 ROMs sit on top of vendor/firmware.

hi guys , im new on poco f1 and i backed up the rom los last build in twrp recovery (system and data ) but after the restore i have bootloop and the device cant bootup its happend on all roms (havocos , pe .. etc ) , any idea
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] BenParz:
Are you on vendor 9.3.1? If you are, that causes the bootloops. Might as well downgrade to 9.2.25 for the time being.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] droidjunky90:
well you need to back up (system, data AND boot)

make sure you are flashing vendor version 9.2.25
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Just to be pedantic - at least in my experience 9.3.1 or later vendor/firmware (actually I think it's specifically the vendor part) doesn't cause bootloops but custom roms simply get stuck on the black "Pocophone" boot screen and never get past that. Unless I simply didn't wait long enough or something...

BTW - what recovery are you using? I use official twrp from twrp.me and have been able to backup and restore fine.

Although I did backup/restore ALL partitions (including the image versions of system and vendor).

Wait, format isn't the same than wipe.

[[[[

Wiping is the action You do. When you wipe you will either format or delete according to the settings in TWRP. The default is format. And that is why I said format because I know that is the action that is really happening when I am wiping.

Why don't you take a look in TWRP settings and see for yourself

[[[[[

Are you sure you cancelled when it asked for your password,

[[[[[[

After having wiped /deleted everything besides the MicroSD you cannot be asked for a password

After you used DFE did you check to see whether you were not encrypted or did you assume that you were not encrypt because you used DFE?

Hi, I'm on the March 2 build of the official ROM, I did all proper steps of clean flashing but when I tried to update to the latest, I got a boot loop. Do I have to flash manually previous updates prior to the recent one before I get to the latest update?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] abeloman:
We all know that ROMs script 'format' system, but /data will keep it intact. User is obligated to 'wipe' /data (and TWRP will avoid wiping media on /data) in order to delete apps and configurations. I suggested format data (the other option on WIPE menu) to remove encryption, as data will keep intact if user doesn't interfere. Same suggestion to yourself, take a look on TWRP and you'll find the difference

I don't assume anything, it's a fact that you must 'format data', reboot to recovery, and flash DFE before first boot. If you get encryption even following those steps, then you did something wrong, I've been dealing with encryption and no issues on all my devices. As you searched, DFE only modifies 'force encryption' on first boot, after removing successfully password (the importance of 'formatting' and not 'wiping' data (entire partition, not data —media—)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] droidjunky90:
I honestly don't know why you are arguing on something that is clear here, me, [MENTION=7825857]dayler[/MENTION] and abeloman have made it clear for you, FORMAT DATA is NOT WIPE DATA, if you are encrypted, go ahead and Wipe only data, that's not gonna do anything for you, if you want to be decrypted you MUST format data and wipe the rest of the partitions, even if you wipe allllll partitions it won't help you here buddy, just follow the steps since you are crying over decryption which isn't recommended to begin with.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pfavayi:
[[[[[

first of all format isn't wipe

[[[[

When you wipe (which is the action you do - a wping action) you either format or delete depending on the settings in TWRP. This is what is happening behind the scenes .The default is format and that's why I just said format ( I am a Linux user so I tend to use the action that is happening behind the GUI)

You can go to settings in twrp and see for yourself.

Be absolute on something that you're absolutely sure about...

Don't accuse or degrade people when you're the one who is wrong

[[[[[

second of all there is no such thing as format data, cache dalvik, cache, system.

[[[[[

I just explained this above, no need to repeat myself.

Your main problem is you are absolute about something that you have no idea about.

Trying to embarrass me only shows you are the ignorant one.

I suggest Google first if you're not sure, and even if you're correct , just point out the correct thing. Its better than trying to embarrass the other guy - because you may actually be the dataless person and you get embarrassed instead.

[[[[

you don't want an encryption you can just Format Data and then do the wipes,

[[[[[

If you read my post carefully you will realize I did this.. I was experimenting with DFE so that I have first-hand experience when we talk about DFE in the forum. I don't like and I don't want DFE but I have to experience how it works and so I was experimenting.

n.b "data" as used in twrp refers to the programs that you have installed on your phone.

Your personal data on internal storage is referred to as "internal storage".

"data" + "internal storage" = userdata

This distinction is important because for computer users ,especially Linux , "data" realy means userdata in Android

[[[[

don't know why are you flashing DFE

[[[[

Experimenting.....

I never wanted DFE. it's never made sense to me theoretically and practically.

But in the beginning you were advising people to flash DFE and you and I were arguing back and forth on the value of doing so. You have since changed.

[[[[[[

yet users all over XDA are all about flashing DFE in the process

[[[[[

I don't think users all over XDA are flashing DFE. So only a few are doing so, and thats because Some guys who have flashed it want to always mention it in the forums.

And especially If you don't know what you are doing you create problems for yourself when you flash DFE.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] droidjunky90:
1. no one here has degraded you or whatsoever.

2. Wipe is a completely different action from Format when it comes to TWRP.

3. TWRP by default has made a difference between Format and Wipe untill and unless (you change that setting, which there is obviously no reason to do so by merging both actions to do the same thing knowing that wipe is a command and format is another "different" command, again that is on TWRP.

4. DFE is to be flashed once after the proper procedures and after booting back to recovery.

5. Sometimes users flash DFE to stop the stock recovery from overriding TWRP recovery (one time use) in the very first steps of installing TWRP over adb commands.

6. am not against decryption nor encryption that's something the user chooses not me.

7. how can i be uneducated about something that I have tried and tested out myself for several times.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pfavayi:
[[[[I don't assume anything, [[[[[

If you didn't check in the phone then you assumed. Checking PROVES that the phone is no longer encrypted or is still encrypted.

Every time I checked it always showed that the phone was still encrypted. If I hadn't checkedbi would have assumed that it's not encrypted , just like you are doing.

[[[[it's a fact that you must 'format data', reboot to recovery, and flash DFE before first boot.[[[[[

You are speaking like the driver of a bus.

Me and the other guys are speaking like the mechanics of the bus who can also drive the bus but also know exactly what is happening in the bus when it's moving and can repair it.

I don't think you understand how DFE Works, what files it Alters, how it Alters them, and what it does to your phone. And I suggest read up DFE first and then we can talk.

[[[[If you get encryption even following those steps, then you did something wrong,[[[[[

No...

It could be a fake DFE file..

It could be a buggy DFE file...

it could be a malicious file masquerading as a DFE file...

The three DFE files that I tried all had different sizes and different updater scripts.

And that was why I was checking to see if in fact my phone is not encryoted anymore.

[[[I've been dealing with encryption and no issues on all my devices[[[[

But you haven't been checking to see if in fact your phone is not encrypted.

You don't even want to check now.

[[[As you searched, DFE only modifies 'force encryption' on first boot,[[[

No..

it Alters "force encrypt " to "encryptable" in fstab.qcom in the vendor partition...

It installs magisk and configures it ...

It configures other parameters...

It runs some binaries together with the updater scripts.

[[[[after removing successfully password[[[[

You just know how to drive the bus and nothing else about the bus...

[[[[[ (the importance of 'formatting' and not 'wiping' data (entire partition, not data —media)[[[[

This shows you don't know what wiping means in the context of twrp and android/Linux commands executed underneath.

I have explained this in another post above so I refer you to that post so I don't have to repeat the same thing here.
