In two weeks, I think, I'll get my pocophone. Is the first method still working? Why are there two methods for root? I think the first one is more simple than the second one? It sounds nearly too simple for me... Or is there something I don't understand... Just unlock, boot into twrp and flash magisk? Is that all?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] exepowered:
Yes, just unlock, boot into twrp and flash magisk.

Method II is the same thing, but instead of flashing ZIP you are patching boot.img manually.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Luftikus:
But isn´t it more difficult to flash the patched boot.img?

Or is it just the safer way?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] exepowered:
Method II is harder and difficulty is higher.

Reboot your phone, if your phone is unlocked you should see ,,unlocked" text under yellow pocophone logo.

Status from dev options is bugged and somethimes just not synchronised with the real status.

Tq sir, the unlocked text always appear under pocophone logo.after il reboot,tq again for ur info sir
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoudouJack:
Why would any of this issue appear with root? Rooting your device only gives possible use of "Admin privilege" to the apps you want to use root.

If you root your device but do not do anything else, nothing will change.

But e.g. if you want to backup all your apps + data including system apps, you now have the rights to access the required folders on your phone.

That's pretty much it!

I am following this thread and will apply it tomorrow morning

I am wondering if for any reason a magisk module caused a bootloop or a magisk update

Is there an unistaller zip file to be flashed with the same process to get back to system and bybass the bootloop

Also saw earlier in the poco consolidated thread that there are some magisk versions that are not stable with our poco

I mean shall i flash the latest 17.3 or an earlier version ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Are you running a custom rom? Having the sd card formated to exFat can cause bootloops. Format as fat32 or ntfs or flash sphinx kernel. But yeah, there is a zip file to uninstall magisk. Don't know if any of that helps you? Can't provide a link at the mo for the zip, sorry.. Gotta go!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] borneanheadhunter:
ok guys. need your help. not new to the flashing scene but my recovery seems to revert back to mi.recovery even after flashing custom recovery. passwords, removed, etc. first boot into twrp works but have unmodified partition warning before entering the twrp menu. currently running stock miui 10 global stable

Thanks alot. However I got mi recovery rom after I flashed it back stock rom

All I have to do now is relock the bootloader and regain the warranty right?

Do I still have to wait 60 hours if I unlock bootloader again after relock?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] borneanheadhunter:
thanks man, i totally forgot about that. thanks. coming from miui 10, do we need to flash vendor 9.0 and firmware zip if we want to use Pixel Experience ROM?

Ask in comments under Pixel Expirience ROM post.

I don't know, I am using stock MIUI 10 so hard to say :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] borneanheadhunter:
flashed the vendor zip just to be safe anyways. using the Pixel Experience ROM now to gauge the battery.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] exepowered:
You got it with stock rom because you have not flashed disable encryption ZIP.

MIUI reverts to stock recovery automaticaly with encryption.

That's our goal, to keep it stock.

Relocking bootloader is necessary and even not right if you have your device rooted. You should keep it unlocked due to root access.

I don't think that you need to relock it to regain the warranty, because unlocking your xiaomi device etc. is not voiding it.

I am not sure about unlocking cooldown, but I know it appears when you want to unlock a device with a new miui account connected short time before it.

Maybe you don't need to wait again.

When I uninstall magisk, the phone boots to fastboot. I can only get it running again when installing magisk again. Could this be caused by debloating?

A few questions

Hello there,

First, thanks exepowered for all of this awesome work!

Now, I got a few questions.

1. How comes TWRP doesn't ask for PIN/Pattern to decrypt the partitions? This sounds like a big security issue to me, from the Poco F1 itself.

2. When doing an OTA update after the Poco is rooted with Magisk...

2.a. It is written in the guide that we must remove Magisk first. What if I install Xposed as well? Do I need to remove Xposed too?

2.b. Does this means that the OTA requires the system partition to be clean?

2.c. Why not simply restore an image of the system partition instead? So I don't have to uninstall rooted stuff one by one.

3. What happens if we apply the OTA update without removing Magisk?

4. Is it possible to relock OEM?

4.a. What happens if we relock OEM with Magisk still installed?

4.b. What happens if we relock OEM with clean system partition (no root, stock clean partition)?

Thanks!

Im on pie beta 8.12.27 rom.

Device is unlocked.

I use twrp with builtin decryption image to dirty flash the beta updates with lock screen password and fingerprint login security enabled.

Now i want to root my phone.

I have 2 questions.

1. All i have to do is flash the Magisk zip on twrp right? And reboit and verify through root checker? I dont need to flash any FED zips right?

2. Which magisk version is the most stable and compatible to our pico pie beta roms?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rizkhanjra:
I have same question
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] developweb:
This was such an easy process the way you presented it. Rooted in 10 minutes. The whole dm verity / Flash FED confusion was doing me in. But this TWRP did not require this.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pingufanpoy:
If you have the twrp with decryption support 12112018 version then you don't have to flash fed it will be optional. As it can read and write to internal and external without needing a password.

FED has magisk included already for example you flash version 4 it has magisk 18.0 included already.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] chandanbs:
Thanks.

After flashing and rebooting do I need to configure magisk manager manually to enable super user? Or default works?

Also, I faced bootloop while upgrading to new beta rom.. Had to reinstall magisk in order for os to boot. Is this known issue?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
You need to be logged into your Mi account in your phone for all the 72 hours after making the request to unlock. Your usage is checked to confirm that you are really a consumer and not an unlicensed retailer before you are allowed to unlock the bootloader.

IF YOU WANT TO APPLY OTA, DO THIS:

FOR OTA UPDATES:

Method I:

- Flash Magisk ZIP again

Method II:

- Pull boot.img and patch it again

Well, I'm usnig my eyes (and head) and on the first page it's written:

Have a good day. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] RPSouto:
That message is because Magisk can't find the stock image backup. Maybe was moved by you or deleted? The only solution is flash the stock boot.img manually and then install the update.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] woody4165:
Thank you!

I found the stock 10.1.3.0 Global here, I downloaded and found the boot.img

So installing the stock boot.img via fastboot will let me install OTA and the re-apply Magisk, correct?

PS:

I followed these steps, since Magisk was not able to find the stock boot.img

- downloaded actual MIUI stock ROM, in my case 10.1.3.0, and extracted the boot.img

- via TWRP I made a backup just to be sure

- -rebooted in fastboot mode and from PC I flashed the stock boot.img "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot reboot"

- after rebooted I applied the OTA update to 10.2.2.0, in my case

- rebooted in TWRP and installed the file "DisableForceEncryption_Treble_v18.0.zip" which includes also Magisk 18.0

- rebooted to system and all previously installed Magisk modules were there.

I have a stock recovery, but when needed I just reboot in fastboot and from PC I just type "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3.0-beryllium.img" and I'm in TWRP recovery.

Thanks who helped me.

Need help

Hello.

Before anyone says anything, I saw every post I could have watch, I saw every thread that I thought it could help me, but it was no use.

I am here today to search for your help. I have rooted my phone a while ago, but then I wanted to update to MIUI 10.2.2, so I did that, but I completly forgot to unnistall Magisk, and now I have MIUI 10.2.2 with no Magisk, and when i install Magisk again I got a bootloop, always booting to recovery. This happens with Stock recovery and TWRP (with decryption).

The steps that I already did were:

Flash TWRP through fastboot OR Boot TWRP through fastboot

Flash Magisk Unnistaller AND/OR Flash Magisk AND Wipe dalvik cache

OR Flash DFE and then Magisk

Reboot.

Everytime I got bootloop.

Please I've tried everything that I've remember.

H.E.L.P M.E.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] d.casper.b:
This is kind of what I'm thinking to do when I get my F1.

Just root it for now and be able to take OTAs.

Do I have the idea (I've done it like this on my 2015 Moto X):

Rooting:

Unlock Bootloader

Fastboot Boot TWRP via PC

Backup boot.img in TWRP (recovery was not able to be backed up from within TWRP then..)

Flash Magisk in TWRP (seems with the POCO you must do a bit more than simply flashing magisk - need to read more)

Boot phone and use the TWRP app from the Play Store to backup recovery (needs root) - or some other method.

Later Flash TWRP if you want to use TWRP recovery.

Now you have a backup of boot.img and recovery.img

For OTA:

Uninstall magisk - think you can do it via the app, can't recall, otherwise use magisk uninstaller zip in TWRP. Magisk usually keeps a backup of the original boot.img and I think it is restored.

You can then restore boot.img in TWRP (if not restored)

Now you need to fastboot flash original recovery.img via a PC.

Reboot, ready for OTA.

If you don't flash TWRP recovery, I don't think you can uninstall Magisk via app if I'm not mistaken - will need to fastboot boot into TWRP via PC and flash uninstaller zip.

Is this the gist of it? I'm making it simple.

Things might be a bit different from my last experience.
