That is Xiaomi's way of saying that you need to wait for that much time before trying to unlock.

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

If you flashed OEM ROM, don't boot into system. Boot into recovery before booting into system. Or, after flashing ROM, flash Magisk before booting into system.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TrippyEngine:
So, if I uninstall magisk (Restore Image), I can apply the OTA via the updater like before, right?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] fubo73:
You have to wait 72hrs after you requested unlocking.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
In theory, yes, if your /system is untouched. However we don't just flash Magisk, we meddle with the phone. So no guarantees. Left to me, I would flash the full zip and I have been doing that only.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TrippyEngine:
So, for the next update I'll have to do the following:

1) Let the Updater app download the full update zip

2) Uninstall magisk, then reboot to twrp

3) Flash the downloaded rom zip

Did I get the steps right?

Do you also happen to know if the unofficial twrp is safe for backups? Which partitions are needed for a full backup?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
Step 2 is not necessary.

If you dirty flash ie. without wiping /system, Magisk will survive. But you have to reboot to recovery before booting into system so that TWRP is not overwritten by stock recovery.

If you wipe, flashing Magisk before booting into system is necessary and TWRP will also survive.

Backing up in TWRP is ok. If you are not concerned about the size, backup all. Otherwise backing up the default options is ok.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guru.Eclairs:
I hope that you should have solved this problem until now since it has been many days. But I'm still answering this question for someone facing similar difficulty-

I was facing the same problem. The thing is that Xiaomi Unlock tool needs internet connection throughout the process, i.e. until bootloader is unblocked. And the mistake I was doing that I connected my pc with pocophone wifi hotspot, so when phone entered in fastboot mode, my pc internet was disconnected and I got Unknown error -1 after unlocking process completed 99%. But once I connected my pc to other internet source, bootloader was instantly unlocked.

What can I do to permanently flash twrp? I'm using miui beta 9.3.7 rooted with Magisk 18.1. Until now, what I did was just boot twrp after connecting the phone to my computer

Can some one help me pl.

I want to update ota 10.2.2.0 to 10.2.3.0 I downloaded ota update (587 mb file) and tried to flash via Twrp but it fails saying error code 7.

I'm using official Twrp 3.2.3
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiennhu89:
Ur twrp isnt for OTA update. Download full rom then dirty flash. If u want update OTA then try other twrp that support or use stock recovery.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidsiv:
will twrp-3.2.3-2beryllium.img support this OTA ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiennhu89:
I dont think so. But u can flash full rom, right? Its same as OTA rom ( just diffirent about size when u download).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
Flashing full rom will wipe data's?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] handaehan:
Hi guys, I used this tutorial to root my Pocophone and it seems to have gone smooth. But but now that the stable update it's out I have doubts:

1) The MIUI Stable v10.2.3.9 Global has been released and I haven't understood how I should proceed from the various answers of the thread. What is the correct procedure without wiping data. Can I still OTA update or not?

2) What is the substantial difference with this other procedure described in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405

3) As the user [MENTION=8317367]TrippyEngine[/MENTION] has already asked can I permanently flash twrp instead of just boot it?

Thank you all and sorry if I asked about already answered topics...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rolex0815:
Let me summarize some things and bring it to a clear point:

Phone not rooted --> OTA working, done.

Phone rooted --> no OTA.

Options:

Uninstall magisk and apply OTA update

OR

Flash the full ROM from here: https://en.miui.com/thread-5983135-1-1.html

via fastboot

via recovery

Points to consider:

No stock recovery installed --> no OTA in any case!

Therefore just use the command below for the tasks like rooting etc. and keep stock recovery installed.

fastboot boot recovery.img

If flashing full ROM you can choose between dirty flash (keep your data) or clean flash.

If flashing full ROM and you have debloated MIUI before, all these apps will be back again (maybe annoying ...).

root has to be flashed in any case again!

If debloated OTA will fail in most cases (especially when one of the missing parts (apps, etc) should get updated)

So far so clear.

Now post #1 says:

This option is not available for me:

What will happen if I choose "complete uninstall"? The warning states, phone will maybe be encrypted, but how should it be encrypted again, if it is now decrypted?

Looking into the fastboot flash scripts leaves me with some unknown commands, does anyone know what happens when issued:

fastboot flash keymaster_ab keymaster.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot erase sec

What is cust, keymaster and what will be erased?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiennhu89:
Flash full rom dooesnt wipe ur data. There is a twrp that support ota in development thead. Find it and try. I didnt use it so cant confirm.

Hi! Do you know where can I get an .img of the stock recovery? I want to flash it to be able to do OTA update. Thanks!

yes it worked, had to reinstall magisk but that's it.

thanks mate, great guide. :good:

I don't need magisk nor root

But I need to get a custom recovery (TWRP?) in order to get to LOS.

How would it change the procedure from OP?

Do I still need to patch the boot.img and stuff?

Pls help me

I am on miui 10.2.2 and wanted to flash 10.2.3

I uninstalled magisk and flashed stock recovery, and after reboot tried installing OTA. OTA failed when it entered stock recovery (recovery did not even start installing the OTA) and phone restarted normally.

I thought failure must be due to modified boot.img performed by magisk,

So I flashed stock boot.img from MIUI 10.2.2 zip (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

Now my phone shows only the first screen (MI logo), after 3-4 secs, it blacks out and restarts.

Pls help

Did you have backup in Twrp? If yes, wipe system and restore the backup.

Or download full rom package and flash through Twrp.

After Twrp flash completes. Make sure you boot to twrp by unplugging the phone and hold volume + and power button simultaneously.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] hosseinito:
Thanks mate?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anirudh281998:
What is the procedure you follow for that?

Recently I tried installing OTA update, but it failed.

Steps I followed:

1. Flashed stock recovery, so that OTA can be installed.

2. Uninstalled magisk (using magisk manager app).

3. Go to System updater, downloaded ota and flash begins.

4. Phone reboots and enters mi recovery to proceed flashing, but it fails and flashing doesnt even start.

5. Phone reboots and nothing changed (same old rom, no data loss)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ctsuresh:
I will not flash manually, Through miui updater it automatically updates so I will loose Twrp and Magisk, I will flash them again that's it.

Detail method- when I get a ota update I will download it then it asks for reboot so it will go Twrp and fails. Then system reboot normally without any update. Then again I get a ota update for downloading but this time it will download full rom, then same again reboots to Twrp and flash success then reboot to system with new version updated. But you will loose magisk and Twrp.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anirudh281998:
Thanks. This is what I did indirectly. After I was rebooted to my previous rom, I manually downloaded full recovery zip rom, and flashed it using twrp. Lost magisk and twrp but update was installed. Installed twrp and magisk again.

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

For anyone who wants to update MIUI:

1. Go to Magisk -> Select "Uninstall" -> Restore Images. Reboot your phone. This restores stock boot image.

2. Go to updater app, and download and install OTA.

3. OTA will fail and phone will reboot.

4. Update again by going to Updater app (This time it downloads full rom instead of OTA), and let it install (it will install from TWRP, no issues)

5. After update, re install TWRP and Magisk. (Because the update installed stock recovery and we uninstalled Magisk in step 1)

OR

1. Go to Magisk -> Select "Uninstall" -> Restore Images. Reboot your phone. This restores stock boot image.

2. Download latest Recovery ROM from MIUI website and flash it using TWRP (no wipes, only flash)

3. After rebooting, flash TWRP and Magisk.

NOTE: If your data partition was not encrypted previously, updated MIUI might attempt to encrypt and you will lose apps (internal storage remains saved). To avoid it, flash DisableForceEncryption_Treble.zip just after flashing Update (DONT REBOOT without flashing it, else encryption takes place)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
In your second method, if you boot to recovery before booting to system, TWRP will be preserved and you will need to flash Magisk alone.

I don't think that you need to uninstall Magisk either in the first or the second method (I may be wrong though). When the Updater senses that your system is modified, it will straightaway download the full ROM. If you then flash it through TWRP and boot into recovery before booting into system, both TWRP and Magisk will be preserved. You will save some time and clicks. This is how I do it in my OP3, I think the F1 will also behave similarly.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anirudh281998:
Rebooting to recovery before booting to system, it will boot to TWRP but after that when we reboot, system installs stock recovery. ie System always installs stock recovery on 1st boot after update.

The updator should detect modifications, but it doesn't do so (atleast for me). It always tries OTA, if it fails, then only it proceeds with full recovery ROM.

Regarding Magisk uninstallation, I agree that its not needed, but Magisk documentation recommends to do so.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TNSMANI:
True that stock ROM installs stock recovery but rebooting to recovery (TWRP) and flashing Magisk preserves TWRP for me in OP3. May be MiUI is different.

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

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] George_Mn:
Oh yes.. that 2.5D screen protector on my flat Nexus 5 was the best protection ever. It gave me that curved glass while protecting 99% of the screen.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Yadao:
I managed to order these before they ran out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FTCHPWY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They make mention of curved edges and that the protector doesn't wrap around them:

"Please Note: Google Pixel 3 screens has curved edges that our screen protectors do not cover 100%, as they would peel over time causing customer frustration. We designed our screen protectors so you will have maximum coverage on your device with ease of installation and durability. For more complete protection, we recommend pairing the screen protector of your choice with a Google Pixel 3"

They are arriving tomorrow along side my Spigen case. That should give me an idea of just how curved the edges are. From the pictures, I think it's probably a little less curved than the 2XL was.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] hodags:
I looked at Best Buy's demo models today, 3xl right next to my 2xl and a 2xl on display next to it, and the 3xl glass does seem to be quite flat compared to the 2xl! I tried to take a picture but the 2xl and 3xl displays weren't close enough.. I might go back with a second phone to take pictures with so I can compare to my 2xl.

Specifically, the 2xl seems to have it's glass start to curve just beyond the underlying display, but on the 3xl it seems to be flat to the edge of the glass.

I talked to the BB employee and he said he noticed the same thing but they didn't have screen protectors yet so he's not sure if they're going to try to wrap around to the side of the device or not.. but we both seemed to feel that they shouldn't need to.

Anyway, can't say for sure yet but I really think it is flat and I'm very excited by these possibility!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Yadao:
I got my case and screen protectors today. There does seem to be very little gap between the lip of the case vs the edges of the screen protector.

Also, these have adhesive on the entire screen as apposed to just the edges like most glass 2 XL protectors.

Goods signs so far.

Hi,

I have PX3 MTCD_GS unit with 1GB RAM and Android 5.1.1

I need someone to help me find out if there are some pins on the back of the unit that i am not aware of, coz as you can see from the attached pictures there are some slots used.

The HU was a gift so i cannot ask the seller for help. I know the seller on aliexpress but they all ask for you order. Maybe if someone has a same unit as mine and found out more info about the connections on the back, could let me know.

On the picture the only plug that i did not have connected at the time it was taken i the plug with the mic. It plugs inside the "G" opening on the back of the unit. The description of the openings and the one i use can be seen in on the pictures. Wright now i have 3 camera inputs that are working, but no front camera (for F-CAM app) The plug "G" is marked as "camera/mic" as you can see, but there are only two cables for the mic. Does anybody knows if some of the pins in this opening could be the F-CAM input......

Appreciate any help or clue given :)

Looking through the forums and I don't see any mention of this particular model phone from Verizon. It's a G6. I'm just wondering if root and all that works for it?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] mn1968:
The trend has been that Verizon doesn't allow bootloader unlocking - therefore no root.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Xplorer4x4:
This is correct. Typically Verizon locks the bootloaders on thier devices. I suggest you head over to the Moto website and try to unlock it. It will either fail, and do no nothing to your device, or unlock the bootloader giving you freedom to root or do whatever.

You don't just patch the boot.img, you flash the newly created boot.img onto the device and then you flash magisk, such as described in the link below using method 2.
