I have but it's true, you have to have the phone paid off and about 60 days on their network. But to get it unlocked you best bet is to use the chat on the website. Calling them had a more than 100 min wait time. I literally just did it yesterday
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] HiddenKnight:
Yeah, I had to try 3 times but waited 2-3 hours each requested call. Was worth it in the end though, however, planed on giving up on the third time!

Finally after 2 months of wait and paying off the phone xfinity unlocked it and now I could root the phone 👍
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Flagmax:
Glad you got it done. I just the 4a 5g myself and would like to root. Can you share what you had to tell them to get OEM unlock enabled? Did you get Sim code as well?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] COCODRILO45:
Had to be on Xfinity for 2 months and had to pay off the phone once i paid off the phone i called to have it unlocked i took less then 5 minutes to unlocked the phone

Sounds good. I will be doing that in 2 months. I thought OEM lock was permanent like I hear it was on VZW.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Yuraqua:
I can now unlock bootloader on my POCO X3 NFC. It is for Russian market and my current ROM is 12.0.3.0(QJGRUXM). According to manuals I've read, I'll have to flash International ROM V12.0.(3 or 4 or 5).0.QJGMIXM first, otherwise Wi-Fi and Bluetooth won't work.

I'm having difficulties selecting custom ROM. I hoped community could help me.

I'd like to have on my POCO X3 NFC:

MicroG or OpenGapps Pico.

AFWall+ (needs root)

AdAway (needs root)

AppOpsX (needs root)

F-Droid

Google Play Market

K-9 Mail

NewPipe

YouTube Vanced

KeePassDX

OpenKeyChain

I'd like to avoid installing SuperSU. I'd prefer Magisk.

I'll have to install banking software so SafetyNet checks must be passed OK.

Previously I've tried and liked LineageOS on my Mi 5s (capricorn).

I've watched on YT reviews of ArrowOS (looked like LineageOS to me) and RessurectionRemix (it seems to have intimidating quantity of customization options).

Considering above, which custom ROM you'd recommend for me to install?

Currently I'm looking at:

[ROM][10] LineageOS 17.1 (unofficial) [SURYA]KARNA]

[ROM] [11.0.0] ArrowOS POCO X3 [OFFICIAL][SURYA] - Vanilla build.

[ROM] ► [11.0] ► Nitrogen OS Beta

BTW, Android 10 or 11?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
ArrowOS (Android 11) + F1xy kernel

You need to flash latest MIUI before flashing ArrowOS. You can download latest xiaomi.eu ROM and than flash ArrowOS to make it easier. Current latest MIUI version is 12.0.7 for surya & 12.0.8 for karna. You will have vanilla or gapps ArrowOS. Choose Gapps build. Install Magisk in TWRP after flashing ArrowOS & kernel. SafetyNet passes out of the box. seLinux is enforcing. Signature spoofing is supported.

So this are the steps for installing ArrowOS + F1xy kernel:

0. Unlock bootloader

1. Flash latest TWRP/OrangeFox recovery with fastboot command: fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img

2. Be sure that you're on latest MIUI version (MIUI 12.0.7 for surya, 12.0.8 for karna)

2a. If you're not on MIUI but on custom ROM at the moment, you need to flash latest xiaomi.eu ROM (12.0.7 at the moment) with TWRP/OrangeFox than Format Data, Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache

3. After you booted xiaomi.eu, reboot to TWRP/OrangeFox, Flash all this packages in order:

- ArrowOS

- F1xy custom kernel

- Magisk

4. Format Data, Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache

5. Reboot.

Now you're on ArrowOS.

BTW, I prefer Aqua Mail to K9 Mail as it's much better optimized & has amazing features.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Yuraqua:
Thanks, @SkaboXD. Kind of. I specifically mentioned I want to avoid proprietary GApps. And assessing programs list one could tell that I prefer Free (as in Freedom) and OpenSource programs.

Also, I have very serious privacy and safety concerns installing custom kernel. I trust AOSP much more.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
Than install Vanilla build of ArrowOS instead and flash Gapps you want (OpenGapps, NikGapps or FlameGapps...) and don't install F1xy kernel. You will miss on useful features & increased performance with good battery life though. And if you're concerned about privacy, why are you using Gapps in the first place?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Yuraqua:
Open Gapps is a different kind of animal. Unavoidable evil. But I want to decrease harm done to me.

If I was really concerned about privacy and health, I wouldn't use spying tracker cell phone at all.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] wimstefan:
If you're into privacy I *really* can recommend FairEmail ... you can also get releases from Github: https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
Pretty much on the same boat as OP...

FYI, after trying a couple of the custom ROMs, I settled on Xiaomi.eu (currently v12.0.7.0 stable) for the time being and am waiting for PX3 LineageOS 17.1 (https://xdaforums.com/t/4202533/) to become official -- and the MicroG build which will ensue and my preferred target ROM.

On the subject of GApps, I still want to retain access to the Google app store, I just want to avoid my device being colonized by the big G. Last I checked -- through ClassyShark3xodus -- no app required as many permissions as Google Play Services: way over 200, no less, seemingly every possible one! o_O

Time will tell, I guess.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Yuraqua:
My experience with LineageOS with Open GApps Pico on Capricorn (Mi 5s) confirms that Google Play is working fine. All synchronization is working. All confirmations (you are trying to log in on other device: please check your phone) are working. Banking software is working.

I chose to wait for LineageOS with another custom ROM installed. I've decided to install ArrowOS. Maybe I'll stay on it.

For the history. I'll add benchmark data here as I move through ROMs.

I've RTFM and installation went smooth and fast.

So far I like ArrowOS a lot. Sleek and fast. However, LineageOS seems to have more customization options.

And I can't make Text-to-Speech engine to work. I've already sent a bug report with LOG file to developers.

Banking apps work fine and so does NFC, I use contactless NFC payment almost on a daily basis.

Safety net passes right out of the box so banking apps will have no problem with it.

ArrowOS + stock ArrowOS kernel.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] AngusYoung14:
Hello I'm looking for a ROM without Gapps which allows me to pass SafetyNet check? Is that possible?

I have already tried crDroid, ArrowOS and StagOS.

Tried Universal SafetyNet Fix, MagiskHide Props Config, no success unfortunately, maybe I'm missing something or maybe it's not even possible to pass SafetyNet without Gapps.

Any help is appreciated.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] fox_xda2:
Same kind of config, LOS unofficial works fine (except for the more advanced versions of bluetooth APTX codec).

LOS17.1 unofficial passes safetynet (method to use is described in first or third post of thread)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
If only LOS (for microG) would already be official for the POCO X3 NFC, then the decision which way to go would be crystal clear to me!

But I have to decide now and I want OTA + signature spoofing (to be able to use microG instead of Gapps), which currently has set my mind on ArrowsOS for simplicity and stability.

Not having any experience with ArrowsOS yet, I don't know if I'm going to stick to it or will move over to LOS for microG once that one is officially available.

The main advantages of using LOS for microG are the included backup solution, call recorder and of course microG, which is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] AngusYoung14:
Thanks for your suggestion. I will give it a try, I tries LOS 18 without success.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] AngusYoung14:
Have you been able to pass SafetyNet with ArrowOS and MicroG?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jeryll:
no ROM with MicroG installed (in its current state) will pass safety net (and I tried really hard - no dice)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
Not using my POCO X3 NFC yet and generally not using any apps requiring SafetyNet to pass. SafetyNet not working on microG is a known issue which is supposedly being worked on, but I guess it does not have that high of a priority.

But my problem really is that there is still no official version of LOS for the POCO X3 NFC (and thus no LOS for microG), because adding signature spoofing manually to an unofficial build every time there is an update is totally out of question, and I really wanted to have Seedvault included (not sure if ArrowOS 11 has it, as I could not find any info about it).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] AngusYoung14:
So should I try LOS 17.1 or will I waste my time?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
You have asked about my findings concerning ArrowOS + microG in the TWRP thread, but my reply is better suited here.

So ArrowOS 11 + microG is a really nice fit. The installation is straight forward:

Installed latest OrangeFox + ArrowOS 11 + Magisk Stable.

Installed latest AuroraDroid Nightly.

Enabled microG repo in AuroraDroid.

Installed the microG components (Services Core + Services Framework Proxy + FakeStore) and Deja Vu + Local GSM Location + Nominatim UnifiedNlp backends.

Enabled everything in microG Self-Check.

The catch is that it's not working properly when trying to install microG using the "microG Installer Revived" Magisk module because that way it's not possible to grant two of the required permissions ("access location in the background" and "receive text messages (SMS)"). I have opened an issue on GitHub for that.

But I don't see the benefit of using that Magisk module anyway as this can easily be handled using F-Droid with the F-Droid Privileged Extension or AuroraDoid.

I have to say, I'm really impressed with this ArrowOS setup so far and if things are going well, I am going to keep it instead of waiting for LOS for microG.

I have been a long-time LOS for microG user and always thought it's just the most convenient way, but the experience with ArrowOS has been an eye opener so far.

Official LOS is always lagging behind with device support and the Android version it is based on, so at this point I can really recommend ArrowOS as a viable and up-to-date alternative!

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
You're totally right. Thanks for the consideration. (y)

Do you use any banking or security sensitive apps with your setup? Any GApps, by that matter?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
Yes for banking and other security sensitive apps, no GApps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
Not even YouTube? What about NetFlix? I'm asking cause I know these are quite popular.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
No and no.

For YouTube I previously had NewPipe installed on my OnePlus 6 with LineageOS 16 for microG, but I never really used it.

Before I install or use any GApps, I'll consider a free / open source alternative.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
I love original and untouched stock rom.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
@Master One:

I see. I use Vanced on my old Axon7 with e.Foundation ROM (LOS based with microG) -- media production/consumption and GPS features are the top dearest smartphone functionalities for me.

I am waiting for the dust to settle to proceed with the PX3.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] AngusYoung14:
Can you pass SafetyNet with this configuration?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
I on the other hand would never consider using a stock ROM or custom ROM with GAPPS because I don't want to give my life to Google or any other entity that easily!

General purpose use here, but slimmed down to what's actually needed. So if I need something, I have F-Droid and Aurora Store to get whatever I want installed, but as said, I try to avoid any Google or proprietary stuff as much as possible.

No, SafetyNet hasn't been working with microG for quite some time and although supposedly being worked on, it seems to only have a low priority. Not using any apps that require SafetyNet to pass (and not even my banking apps require it).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] AngusYoung14:
Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] VD171:
I will reply you again, but don't think I am trying to change your mind.

My dear friend, Google is the developer of the Android.

And Android is open-source.

Google does not care to you or to me.

Google only cares to how many ads you can see or how many ads I can see.

Any app inside android can be totally disabled or uninstalled.

You can avoid google totally even with original stock rom.

There are original stock rom without gapps too.

The best point on android is the possibility to do anything you want :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
Which is what I'm trying to do with my tactic :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] jiak:
Thank you for sharing your experience with microG. Excuse my ignorance but is Magisk necessary or you can have microG without it? Would you be missing something without Magisk?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
There should be ways to install microG without Magisk or another root solution, but the microG components have to be installed as priv-apps, which is only possible either with root access or using the custom recovery.

In my case I use Magisk with the F-Droid Privileged Extension module to enable F-Droid to install and update the microG components as priv-apps, which is the most convenient way, considering that the microG project has their own F-Droid repo.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] teddy64000:
after i have try many rom on android 11 ( more than 9) see picture

for me your the best one is DERPFEST . and corvus os is second.

you are the first rom with i find some new function like rescue balise, all working great,

one exemple : in all other rom when i have try to update the google play system it's stay at 1 october 2020 and never i can do the update, but you are the only one with your rom i have can do it !!

Your rom, is great personnalised, really fast, really stable for all usage day and with some news functions .

i recommended your rom for all poco X3 nfc user !!

Every time i install rom with full clean install ( format data yes ) reinstall all my apps , and minimum usage is 24h. the minimum for me is magisk edxposed and google pay work !! and of course all my app working like a charm. i play chess boom beach, angry bird 2, bejeweled classic. Never try the game like PUBG OR FORTNINE !!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
For me ArrowOS is the best, but I only tested NitrogenOS & PixelExperience. Will test other ROMs. Thanks for sharing.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] teddy64000:
try DERPFEST last one and you will be very surprised i have try arrows os and if i must do a classement i put arrows os in the 3 place after corvus os
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
Thanks for sharing, but DerpFest is marked Alpha and from the listed features I'm not sure what it's supposed to set apart from other ROMs. Most customizations seem of cosmetic nature only? Not sure what you mean by "rescue balise".

Pretty much the same goes for CORVUS-OS as well, except that it's marked OFFICIAL.

ArrowsOS 11 on the other hand is a slimmed down, lean, fast and stable ROM with super fast maintenance (nightly OTA updates) that just caught my eye on first sight and is destined as a keeper.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
ArrowOS has also been the most consensus generating among heavy modders from my POV.

Being unable to install my work's wifi certificate was the only reason I didn't stick with...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] teddy64000:
with DERPFEST you can install our own certificate wifi,
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Master One:
That's a standard feature available in any ROM.

That option is in Wi-Fi preferences >> Advanced >> Install certificates, so was it not working?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] pnin:
Exactly. But try as I might, it just would not connect. No trouble whatsoever with the home connection (or Xiaomi.eu, for that matter).

That and access to the stock camera tipped the scale to getting back to MIUI* for me and for the time being...
