[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Kevlar.Engineer:
The last time I did this was in 2018. My Poco F1 was having issues slowing down, etc etc. So I decided it time to reflash the software.

This is the method I used,

•	Firstly, I backed up all files on SD and Internal Storage to PC, Google Drive, etc. IMPORTANT!!

•	Then I downloaded the following and put into a Folder Called “POCO F1 FLASH” on my desktop. I did this in November 2020, so check for that the files you download are the most current stable available.

1.	Team Win Recovery Project – TWRP 3.4.0-1
