You need to flash MIUI 9.2.25, boot into it and connect to internet, wait around 15mins then you will see you got L1, THEN you can just wipe and install custom ROM and L1 will remain.

Tested it myself with PE CAF and works.

I'm a bit new to this vendors and forced encryption stuff. How do I dirty flash the updates while keeping my phone not encrypted. Or is it not tied to the Rom itself?

I have the latest TWRP, vendor and Magisk. And wanted to update the Rom. Sorry for the noob question
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Don't think there's an easy way.

You might be able to correlate the baseband version to a vendor/firmware but that doesn't necessarily change every vendor/firmware.

Easiest way to know what you have is flash a specific version (ideally the latest - curretntly 9.2.25) and then you know for sure! :laugh:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dinkar18:
If i will download from here and click in update, it will simply go in twrp and flash the new file. Then when will i flash the vendor ?

And if i go in twrp manually and flash vendor (do i need to wipe anything ? ) And after flashing vendor ? Do i need to reboot the system again and click on update from here, or all i need to do is flash vendor and then flash the new rom file(which i download manually) but then my all apps and data will be cleaned. :crying: how to update.. help please
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
If you don't want encryption then all you need to do is always flash dfe after flashing a new vendor/firmware.

It's the vendor/firmware that encrypts unless patched with dfe.

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Why don't you just download the vendor/firmware and the ROM, flash the vendor/firmware (and dfe if you don't want encryption - I never use dfe myself), then the ROM, and just wipe cache/dalvik and then reboot?

Also - why are people so nervous about doing stuff when they can simply take a full backup of all partitions in twrp and if anything goes wrong just flash that back and you're back to where you started?!?!

Just did it myself for experimentation purposes and it worked fine (backup pe caf, flash MIUI beta - just for something to flash, restore backup - back to where I was).

Some people here really shouldn't be flashing stuff in my opinion if they're always expecting everything to go smoothly and can't even take a backup in case it doesn't!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Dinkar18:
And what about all the apps and other stuff. Do they got deleted or remain the same as before ?

Btw i have downloaded the latest vendor. Where to get the force decryption file :mad:

I can't find that file ??

No it doesn't.

You have to flash beta 9.2.25 ROM and after a short while it certifies.

Step 5 - dfe - is not mandatory - only needed if you previously flashed it to prevent encryption

Steps 6/7 - magisk uninstall and reinstall - look redundant

Haven't seen an authoritative analysis of what causes it other than stuff about the noise cancellation top mic CAUSING echo.

Still not clear to me where the problem lies - vendor/firmware, kernel, ROM... - or why MIUI doesn't have the problem.

Very interesting,

Thank you Dalyer for your insightful post and for personally testing the process for L1;.

According to the link you posted, I think the certification is delivered and hard coded within a hardware key in the Poco F1,. It therefore is likely that it remains once delivered......

Post states........

"'the keybox “must be encrypted with a device-unique secret key” in the TrustZone. This keybox must either be installed “in the factory or delivered to the device using an approved secure delivery mechanism.""

That secure delivery mechanism may be the miui 9.2.25 ROM, and I think this is a rare thing that L1 has been pushed to a device after it has left the factory.....

Well done Dalyer and hats off to Xiaomi/Poco

And it does look like once certified it stays certified.

Same as any ROM.

Unlock bootloader

Install twrp via ADB

Boot twrp

Format data

Factory reset/wipe all

Flash latest vendor/firmware

Optional - flash dfe to prevent encryption (no need in my experience)

Flash ROM

Flash gapps if not included in ROM if you want them

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

Optional...

Boot twrp

Flash magisk

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

Recommended...

Once set up the way you like do a full backup in twrp

Repeat from time to time to have a recent full backup
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] InvolveX:
Luckily IT did not Happen .
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:

Dfe is only needed after flashing vendor/firmware (not ROM or gapps) if and only if you want to prevent encryption of your phone.

Did you disable magisk module and uninstall magisk before changing the vendor? If yes, i dont know the solution if not that was causing the error, i had no problems only mobile data connection isnt working. I suggest you wipe everything except the data of your internal storage where you stored the update package, update the vendor, flash the disable force encryption, flash the rom again then reboot. Hope it helps mate.

Is it possible to look at the bug with gcam when launching with the shortcut? I seems as though if you use the shortcut (press the power button twice), gcam loads without sufficient permissions and does not save photos. But if gcam is already loaded normally, it has permissions and using the shortcut also works.

steps to reproduce:

1. ensure gcam is not running, close any instances of it

2. launch gcam with double-press power button

3. take a picture, it won't save, you can see the preview on the bottom right won't update. It behaves as if it does not have sufficient permissions. Is there something special with launching the gcam app using the shortcut?

workaround:

1. close all instances of gcam

2. open gcam from the app drawer

3. take a photo, it will save

4. using the shortcut (double-press power button) will also launch gcam and it will save photos

Can this be fixed so that the shortcut launches gcam with full perms?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] retromann:
Guys I am frustrated.

Yesterday I had to wipe my phone again after the OTA update. The bootprocess took too long and doesn't seem to end.

My co figuration:

Poco F1 (64G)

Vendor files 9.2.25

Clean installation of the PE ASOP-version

Encrypted

Magisk was NOT installed.

I only installed the ANX-Camera with the Unity installer (recovery) as addition

Now I'm on CAF and hope that OTA works in future releases for me.

Even still present:

An app crash when changing specific sounds (for example "popcorn" and other sounds in the upper part of the pixel category) in the default sound-app. This only happens to me, when using the MicroSD card as internal memory. - Maybe this only happens, if the phone is encrypted?

Please! Have a look into that.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
Colleagues using PE, tell me, is there any reason to switch to the CAF version, what are the prospects for developing the regular and CAF versions and further OTA? Now I use the standard PE, in general, I am satisfied, but I would like to understand the real differences (yes, I read the topic and saw messages about what CAF is) in relation to our particular phone. If the CAF-version will be supported more actively, and the usual one - will slowly leave the stage, then I think it is worth changing the firmware. If both firmwares have no significant differences and will continue to develop in parallel courses, then 50/50. It’s just that I don’t have a clear understanding of what CAF gives it to Poco and what are the prospects, because I don’t want to turn everything back in a month if the author suddenly decides to stop developing the CAF version ... At the same time, if he decides to stop developing the original version in favor of the CAF, the transition is inevitable ... In general, please comment on the case. General phrases about the fact that CAF is an optimization for Qualcomm, I do not need, I understand that. The question is, what are the pros and cons of this optimization and what will I get or lose by choosing this or that firmware. Thanks in advance to all sympathizers.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] imPazhani:
i don't know why people struggling with encryption problem. Here is what i did.

After getting the phone after 3 days unlocked the bootloader. which means during the first bootup my internal storage in encrypted with miui.

after that flashed vaishat twrp and flashed PE ROM and magisk, it booted up without show any encryption problem. (note: i just wiper the internal storage, data and system while installing, i haven't formatted the data partition which leads to decryption and also i haven't flashed any DFE, my phone is already encrypted when in miui). from that during the PE Rom update i download the file manually from the website and also the new vendor zip, and i'll remove the lock screen pattern and change to swipe or none. and rebooted to twrp flash the new vendor and new PE update and it will boot back with any problem and i'll add the lockscreen pattern ah fingerprint once again. i didn't face any major problem using this rom.

hope this will help others.

NOTE: ANX camera cause bootloop in PE rom so before update diable it in the magisk module so that it wont cause the bootloop prblm.
