Why are the drivers etc. in firmware+vendor not included in the rom? It's new for me to need to flash firmware+vendor before the rom.

I flashed on fw+vendor 12.0.3 but now I saw your updated version on 12.0.4. Do I need to update? If yes, how?

Another question: Do I have to flash Magisk after every update flash?

Great work from the ArrowOs team and the community! Thanks!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] inunxelex:
im just follow the op, now im using updated vendor, firmware, and you can dirty flash from vendor 12.0.3 without reinstalling the rom or formating data
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] BigBrother101:
I have now ArrowOs on my phone. So I can dirty flash your fw+vendor 12.0.4 and thats it? What are the benefits?

how to thieft unencrypted userdata ? please tell me
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
Just lose your phone and you are done with an unencrypted data partition!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] inunxelex:
any different with custom recovery that can decrypt userdata ? if i can remove the lock screen ?

edit : ss added ofox recovery with password access on uncrypted userdata
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
Putting a password to access the unencrypted data does not provide any type of security. Someone who finds your device would simply have to replace Orange Fox with TWRP or any other via fastboot, in that simple way you could have access to all your data.

Now you understand how important it is to have your data encrypted?

I still don't understand why someone puts the convenience of accessing their unencrypted data first, just to save time doing backups even though they know that if they lose the device, they will be fully exposed

Why is it coming out as a rooted terminal??

There was no problem when I used it before, but when I run the financial app while using it on May 12, it comes out as a rooted terminal.

What has changed???

Do you have a solution??

Flash the latest zip - SafetyNet fixes were implemented a couple of builds ago.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] spider1916:
A few days ago I did an upgrade from version 0305 to 1205, of course I did flash fw and twrp before, and today when I clicked on update 1405 it did not execute, the phone booted to twrp recovery and when I did a reboot to system it stopped at arrowos logo and caught bootloop. I have no patience anymore...

What can I do to make updates install? Go back to orangefox?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Immortal68:
I'm wondering the same thing. Afaik, Ofox still can't decrypt internal memory though, right? I thought about flashing the update with adb on a computer, but I'm not sure if that even works properly while internal storage is encrypted.

Maybe @ganesh varma ir any other expert could chime in for help.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Boitim:
I just tried to update to ArrowOS 11.0 GAPPS May 14 from my older ArrowOS GAPPS April 14. Downloaded it via updated, rebooted into TWRP, cleaned cache/dalvik, but when I try to install the new zip, it throws an error message that it requires a MIUI firmware. How can I install it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
OTA updates can't work because neither OrangeFox nor TWRP can currently decrypt the data partition on A11 + OSS vendor.

There is nothing else to do but wait till OrangeFox and TWRP get updated with fix to be able to decrypt the device on A11 + OSS vendor.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] spider1916:
So how can I install updates? Is it possible?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
Only through adb push or with an OTG USB device.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Immortal68:
Could you expand on that? Push the update to SD Card during recovery and for that time it's unencrypted and can be installed?

What would the process be?

1. go to recovery with encrypted internal memory?

2. adb push update.zip /sdcard/?

3. adb flash /sdcard/update.zip?

4. reboot & done?

Like this?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
Complementing your answer. Also from a PC you can push via adb sideload.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SebixWolf:
Hi all!

I just posted a thread about an update from this developer 14/05 the update and I download it and installed it via TWRP and ended up bootloop.

I tried again and this time manage to boot into the OS but there was a UI not responding message and the Wifi did not work at all, something in the kernel was broken.

I revert back to stock and then to Arrow previos version and all is working fine. Do you know what happen with this update?

Thank you.

so, coming from miui.eu 12.0.9, how im supposed to install this rom?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] daniabad98:
Had the same problem. Try to install miui 12.0.7 from sd card, then enable USB debug and install official miui 12.0.8 with miflash.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SebixWolf:
On my scenario I was on Arrow Os all the time updating through automatic update until this update had to be manually installed through TWRP.

But like I said the Wifi won't work, I don't know why just fyi
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
With recovery unable to decrypt the device, boot to recovery, adb push the update to /tmp and flash through recovery from there.

Never used or looked at adb sideload. What's the difference?

Wrong firmware, you need V12.0.7.0.RJGEUXM (A11 Europe) for A11 + OSS vendor.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SebixWolf:
You can tell that to my working phone rightnow with arrow Os April version with magisk and drunk kernel installed. Definitely the last update was broken and let's hope the developer ammend the issue in the next release.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] camperbh:
Dude... He just told you what the problem is. If you're just gonna deny it, why ask the question at all? You could have also read like the last 5 pages of this thread before posting.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SebixWolf:
I am not denying it, I just posted in another thread my findings and this is not incompatibility with the OS, is the update that is not working wifi issues and bootloops when you install it .

And I read the pages of the thread just see that everyone (included myself) who installed the update had bootloops and problems. Now I made a rollback and all is working fine with arrow OS prior 14/5 update.

Is it possible to change font size and color of the lockscreen IDE Clock?

Maybe in Settings -> Display - Designs?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
Not sure what you mean, but you have to have the right combination, so either

ArrowOS 11 20210503 or earlier (has MIUI vendor) with A10 firmware

or

ArrowOS 11 20210510 or later (has OSS vendor) with A11 firmware

Other than not having a custom recovery that can decrypt the device on A11 + OSS vendor, and the firmware issue with the proximity sensor, nothing should be broken.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DamnNear:
Fingerprint Scanner is slow on OSS version of this ROM, not to mention when the screen is off for some time the first touch on the scanner will fail sometimes requiring another touch to the scanner to turn the screen on.

Second thing i have noticed is the screen artifacts. After rebooting the phone, the first few frames have GPU artifacts, it's a non-issue but i though i should mention it here.

Does you guys have the same issues?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] SkaboXD:
I just tested NFC functionality on latest build by pairing Nokia 808 Pureview & POCO X3 NFC & NFC works for my usage. I touched 2 phones together where NFC chips are located when I was in gallery for some picture on Nokia 808 Pureview & both phones recognized each other. Nokia 808 Pureview turned on Bluetooth & started sending picture.

I don't use NFC to pay so I can't test that.

Out of curiosity I compared the files in EEA V12.0.7.0 with Global V12.0.7.0, all of them are identical, except for alb.elf (151 k) which is written to /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/abl . I know elf is linux executable format, and abl is uefi android bootloader. But why does it change between eu & global versions?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
It is a command which allows you to send and install .zip files directly from a computer. It saves developers a lot of time since they don't have to be copying files to the phone and then flashing it, they can do it directly from a PC.

It is very useful if you do not have an SD card and you cannot use the internal memory due to a problem or by encryption , as is the case.

I leave you a link so you can expand more information.

Before I attempt to update via adb, can anyone confirm the recently nighties have fixed Google pay issues? It worked fine for me on the April builds but Magiskhide does nothing on 12/04 version.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
Interesting. Maybe someone reading this knows more about it and can tell?

If the rest is identical, why would they even release different firmware packages?

Ah, I see, then it would make more sense than using adb push in that case, but does it perform exactly the same way than flashing from custom recovery?

Because flashing from custom recovery executes the backup script included in the ROM package, which then does some important things after the actual ROM update (in my case that's restoring Magisk and Bromite SystemWebView).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] paradøx:
I just did the comparison also for V12.0.8.0, QJGEUXM (eu) vs QJGMIXM (global). Differences: abl.elf, certificate (cert.rsa, cert.sf), compatibility.zip, metadata and updater script. So the only changed code is abl.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] blekr:
I don't use backups. But if it helps you, i used the recovery provided on the pixel experience page as it is the only official one for our device. And with it I installed ArrowOS MIUI-vendor and OSS with the "adb sideload" command.

As for the experience I had in MIUI-vendor, only the first installation was done with the "adb sideload" command and subsequent installations were through the Arrow OS updater. And what I liked the most was that even though the partition was encrypted, it was the only recovery that installed the updates without asking for the decryption pin, and the updates are installed as if it were a stock recovery, even a message appears it says updating with an animation.

It is worth mentioning that I used the "adb sideload" command just to follow the installation recommendations on the pixel experience page. But if you wish, from the recovery itself, you can search for the ROM .zip in the internal or external memory.

It's an excellent custom recovery, it's simple, it includes exactly what you need, and it's working with "adb sideload".
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
I didn't mean regular backups done through recovery, but the backup script that comes with ArrowOS and which restores Magisk and whatever else needs restoring after a ROM update (like my solution for Bromite SystemWebView).

Will have a look at the mentioned Pixel Experience recovery, if I find some time, but I really would prefer having a new version of OrangeFox with the needed fix.

Could u help me please?

Good evening! I don't know the PixelExperience Recovery ! Is it compatible with encryption and the OSS Vendor (Firmware V12.0.7.0.RJGEUXM ?) ? I really want to test it, while waiting for something new on OrangeFox.

I am surprised by the information you give :

For me, OrangeFox already offered me this functionality... This is not the case for others? It's strange...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] cskarlata:
Has anyone updated without data formatting? What could happen if I do?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
OrangeFox always asks for the decryption PIN if the device is encrypted and there is no setting to change that. Are you using an unencrypted device?

AFAIK that can't work, because you will not be able to decrypt the data partition after the upgrade to A11 + OSS vendor.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tristansereno:
maybe the one u have is not oss vendor based and is miui vendor. Then u really have to format data if that's the case
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Zleilndka5:
No, my phone was encrypted. OrangeFox asked me for the PIN code every time I started Recovery Mode, except for OTA updates : ArrowOs restarted by itself with an update animation, without PIN code... I was using OrangeFox R11_0_6_Alpha...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
OK, I may have a wrong memory then, it's been a while that I have done a real OTA update (I've just flashed the updates up until the 20210503 nightly in recovery manually, as it would have not made much sense downloading the same file on six different phones <- yes, the whole family is equipped with POCO X3 NFC).

Excellent ! The Poco X3 NFC paired with ArrowOs is amazing, great choice !

I am testing ArrowOs OSS Version, with the PixelExperience Launcher (very nice, but with less functionality than OrangeFox and TWRP. The data is well encrypted. The installations can be done by adb or sdcard, and the update by OTA works wonderfully)

The only problem I have encountered is when playing video on Netflix. There are graphic artifacts. I posted about it here. Are others concerned ?

So you're saying OTA updates works with TWRP if data is well encrypted?

Actual TWRP can't decrypt data but can update from OTA?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
AFAIK only the data partition is encrypted and a ROM update (as well as the initial ROM installation) does not touch the data partition (which is the reason why you simply can format data AFTER the ROM has been installed; it will be populated and encrypted on first boot). Please someone clarify if I'm wrong, but as long as the OTA update file is not stored on the data partition, it should work even without decrypting.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Immortal68:
Did it on accident. You'll just get thrown into a bootloop.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
A more interesting question, has anyone tried the following yet (with an encrypted device, going from 20210503 nightly to current nightly):

Make backup of data partition in recovery (if the data partition got decrypted when entering recovery, the data partition backup should be unencrypted, right?) and store it at a save location (not in the data partition).

Install A11 firmware + latest nightly + format data.

Boot ROM so that the data partition gets populated and encrypted.

Reboot to recovery and restore the data partition backup.

Will this work and restore everything after the clean flash, to get to the previous state of the device before the update to A11 + OSS vendor?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
I was thinking about trying something similar, using for instance something like adb-sync (basically, a tool to do a rsync-like copy through adb).

I'm still using the latest non-OSS vendor, firmware and I would very much want to avoid losing all the contents of the data partition... The biggest issue I see are the uids and permissions, though.

The only piece missing so far would be a recovery able to decrypt data with A11 firmware to do the recovery. Are there news about that? Is there some work on this?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Master One:
Please keep us updated with this, I'm not going to try anything as all our POCO X3 NFC are in daily use.

No news about updates to OrangeFox and TWRP yet, hopefully this issue is being worked on.

Hi, so i am using arrow for maybe 4-5 months now and it's perfect so far. I have been able to install OTA updates in the past very easily, now i have downloaded the latest may 18th OTA for twice already but it does not update, it asks me to go back to MIUI 11. Is it necessary? And will every OTA require moving back to MIUI? Sorry for the ignorance at my part but i do not understand that why do we have to move back to MIUI 11 even for the update to arrow?

- Also there is a bug that i have noticed is, videos get glitchy on facebook, instagram every now and then and only thing that helps fixing it rebooting the device. Can you please look into this?
