Really? You said your version is 12.0.3.0, seems to be only in Russia and Indonesia. Both countries doesn't seem to have official 12.5.2.0 yet.

Show your MIUI version screenshot.

If you are asking can be updated to 12.5.2.0 Global or EU before unlocking from 12.0.3.0 Russia and Indonesia, answer is No.

Yes
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Right, but if you encounter problems when using TWRP, you might need to try fastboot boot TWRP_file_name.img

Not A/B for Poco X3 Pro. You can see the screenshot from Magisk in section 3 about Magisk.

No need. I didn't post any picture of Mi-flash.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Today I did the firmware only update which was around 100MB zip file and wipe cache/dalvik, it successfully booted.

So it's possible to only update the firmware in ArrowOS.

Though the vendor was not included in that firmware.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Thank to report your experience, i'm a bit scary but if you succeed then is fleasible.

My device is EEA, firmware and vendor still the last so no need to update atm.

POCO X3 Pro	vayu	stable	V12.5.1.0.RJUEUXM	11.0	Europe	Download	2021-05-27

This website is up to date? Or you have another resource?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
I used Global firmware with 12.5.2.0.

Previous firmware was not Global.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
So you updated the firmare from a "non-global" to global? Believe wasn't a good thing to do so.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Try and error. It works though. Until encountering an issue, then I'll clean flash.

When seeing MIUI updates, apart from China ROMs, which this phone doesn't have, the Global ROMs got the first updates. Then other regions got their updates.

So the ROMs in other regions and countries seems to base on Global ROMs. The firmware may be same in all those release later.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
I see, but i'll wait the update for my region, even if is a bit late, do not want to risk to mess the device.

But is good to know that i can flash the firmware on the fly via twrp, is speed up the whole process.(y)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
In case issues with modems (lost imei etc.) is backup of EFS partition with TWRP enough to recover it? Or i need to backup it other way?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
I don't know. You might need to ask TWRP developer if the current version can restore the EFS partition or not from backups.

You can read here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/4276823/post-85014473
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Once you update the firmware you can't roll back on your previous version right?

In case you can't rollback isn't better to wait next ArrowOS update so they can test with their rom the new firmware before flash it?

Is firmware necessary to be updated if you phone have no issues at all? I mean, compared to a motherboard where you can change hardware so the bios need sometimes an update to recognize the new signature, is not the case with a device like a phone where the hardware is fixed. Just wondering.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You can roll back. MIUI can be downgraded, firmware is included in official MIUI ROMs, so firmware can be roll back alongside with flashing previous ROMs as long as ARB is not triggered.

Think of it as drivers. You get updates of drivers.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] ben_sa:
To pl1992aw

Thank you for your very quick and clear answer : TWRP (Nebrassy) is compatible with the official MIUI 12.5.x ROMs

About my MIUI, it is MIUI Global 12.0.3 Stable (RJUMIXM)

As I have my old phone (Redmi Note 9 pro Global) I think I will start using my POCO X3 Pro only when I install the EU Rom v12.5.2.0.RJUMIXM_v12-11 and Magisk next week.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
Question about this step:

Are we supposed to turn off Google or Xiaomi "Find my device" ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
There is actually a procedure you need to avoid to trigger ARB? Isn't this a countersense if i can rollback? :D
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] k3lcior:
Well, that was easy. You'll never see me again MIUI. :poop:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Do as you wish.

Just remember unlock bootloader will do factory reset.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
ARB info is in section 2 step 11.

If the ROM will not trigger ARB, you can safely rollback.

Read here as well:

https://xdaforums.com/t/4265625/post-85226855
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
That is to avoid some interruptions, especially remote locking the phone.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Was hoping for no arb but according to that thread 2 should be fine too.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Sorry to bother, what procedure you personally prefer to update TWRP? Adb or directly from twrp?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Fastboot flash recovery
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
So via adb command line, all perfect, thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Hi Pl1992, have you decrypted your device? Is ok to do so or is better to keepi it as it is and do not matter?

Actually i'm on last ArrowOS + last TWRP + magisk

In case is better to decypt, is the follow procedure correct?

1) Download this file: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14943124697586356178

If this file is wrong please link me the correct one.

2) Flash it via TWRP, then formata data.

2) Boot to system and customize everything again.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
I did not disable encryption.

Depends. Data encryption protect your data to some point.

Imagine you have some photos of your naked body in your phone and someone stole your phone. Do you want them to see those photos?

I don't know, didn't use it, so can't verify.

Maybe read here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/leave-data-unencrypted.4270021/
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Lol, i have nothing like that, but if you said that is better to keep it encrypted for security reasons then i leave it as it is, since for what i read don't matter much.

Thank you. :D
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iam1simpleguy:
As the guide suggests we need to keep sim in the mobile so in case MI send sms for account verification and i did receive sms after 1-2 hours which was valid only for 5 mins,but during that time i was away.So what do i dod now?Even so im not sure where i am suppose to enter that code.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
That SMS is probably sent to verify when you login Mi-account on PC or on phone.

If the unlock program and your phone had both logged in, you can continue proceed the steps.

Write down which step you were stuck.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iam1simpleguy:
thx for replying...I am still waiting for the 168hours to finish.So i guess i hope to unlock bootloader next week and then proceed.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Sorry to bother Pl, how to i check the current firmware of my device under ArrowOS? Noticed that everything changed, the last firmware i used was 12.5.1.0 RJUEUXM but now is gone, maybe i need to check the baseband since is the same for both roms? Just dirty flash as you did when a new version come out based only on the release date?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Maybe the baseband to confirm, not quite sure. This phone doesn't have fast firmware change weekly.

You can flash the same firmware version even if the phone is already using it, then clean cache/dalvik.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
Good to know, thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Lu5ck:
doesn't format data clear system?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Data is Data.

System is System.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Lu5ck:
ermmmm

you can't wipe system?

basically just overwriting system? o.O
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You can try and error at your own risk.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Lu5ck:
So you don't know? I see.

Nvm, I just learnt that flashing with image overwrite the entire partition so no need to erase partition as it is just redundant move
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iam1simpleguy:
Hi i am able to install TWRP via fastbool tools...but now stuck at twrp only.Also it is not showing files i copied to flash.

SD card is visible but no files.

Phone keeps booting into twrp

this is what i have flashed.

twrp-3.5.2_10-0-bhima-Thespartann.img

plz help and tell me what wrong i did?

thx in advance
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You can put the files in internal storage.

Use fastboot boot command (Section 2 step 13) to boot TWRP.

If you cannot read SD card, press "Backup", there is a button "Refresh" storage or something similar. Press it and it will read the storages again. See if you can see the SD card now.

If above step does not work, go into TWRP and format data (Section 2 step 16), then reboot to TWRP.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iam1simpleguy:
Hi

I am back in miui 12 but still don't know what wrong did I do?

why i am not able to see files that were copied to SDcard.

and many thx again for helping and quick reply
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
I see your issue, because you are using the wrong TWRP file by Thespartann. It is outdate.

Download the TWRP from here by Nebrassy file I posted in my guide Section 2 step 9.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iam1simpleguy:
thx i am able to flash room.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] dantevn:
So I followed flash guide completely, the flasher said the process was complete, but it just rebooted normally instead of to recovery, and volume up+power btn just loads the normal miui recovery? :)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You did not flash custom ROMs.

Your answer is here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/4269551/post-85031731

If you are in official MIUI, this will happen everytime.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] dantevn:
Oh okay. So how do I install twrp then? I need twrp to install a custom rom since a stock won't let me install twrp?

Edit: You boot straight into the image without flashing

Edit2: Entered TWRP, flashed miui 12.0.6 firmware first, then tried crDroid, and I get "Flashing A/B zip to inactive slot: A. To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot."
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] dantevn:
What the hell so I tried to change the active slot and it says this device doesn't support slots?? Then why is TWRP throwing that error?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
I think you had successfully installed custom ROM according to your other replies, so I'll just leave your issues unanswered.

This phone don't have A/B slots.

If you have more questions, you can write the new questions in replies.

Cheers.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] MacAMoon01:
Which is the recommended way to flash recovery img Platform tool with cmd or adbfastboot tool? Are they same? Safest way?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Adbfastboot tool make use of platform tools, so technically they're the same.

Adbfastboot tool is more fool proof with interface.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] néonaloj:
Hi, and thanks @pl1992aw !!

One question (new to Xiaomi/Poco) : must the number phone linked to Mi account be the one of the sim card used into the X3 Pro ?

I'll try to explain.. Poco X3 Pro is for my son. I made a Mi account, with the gmail adress I do use for main google account on my son's actual phone. We just ordered the Poco and are waiting for it. But what I want to know is if the phone number of the Mi account can be my own number (on another phone), or MUST it be the phone number of the sim card inside of the X3 Pro, wich will be my son's one ?? I'd prefer first solution... if possible. But for sure I don't want a conflict between the Mi account and the pone linked !

Thanks for your help and thanks to all involved in developement !! :)

PS in regard with last post before mine : what's the utility of that tool if we can do it in fastboot mode ? It's always better to know what you're doing no ?? Thanks again ;)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
No need to be the same number when you request to unlock bootloader.

The SIM card inside the Poco X3 Pro need to have internet connection.

The SIM card in your other phone don't need to have internet connection, but it need to be able to receive SMS messages for Mi-account login.

Which tool?

Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools README. What it can do is written in the program itself.

The tool is just for easiness. You don't need to think of the file name when you manually flashing files.

If you prefer pure fastboot command, you can do it manually with correct command.

urbanman2004 guide for Poco X3 Pro is manual command way.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] néonaloj:
Hi @pl1992aw , thank you very much !

Looks good to me, exactly what I wanted..

Yes this tool/programm.. It's not that I'm afraid about it, but I feel beter when I do know what I'm doing ;) I was used to fastboot commands (don't flash a lot anymore)...

Last question (for the moment lol) : do you think the cmd : 'fastboot oem unlock' will work, as the unlocking process with Xiaomi/Poco needs the Mi unlock stuff ??

Ty again, really appreciate !
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
No, the command does not work.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] néonaloj:
Ok, thanks for your reply, I was in doubt it could work, and you do confirm it doesn't.. Shall do the Mi method.

TY again !!

And thumbs up for your job here :)

: Entered TWRP, flashed miui 12.0.6 firmware first, then tried crDroid, and I get "Flashing A/B zip to inactive slot: A. To flash additional zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot."

Hve the same problem in TWRP and I can't flash anything always the same error I was ON CRDROID then changed to PIXEL started the problem abd then I had to install back MIUI firmware from the tool. help will be appreciated

CHEERS
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Make it more clear. I don't really get what you are telling.

This message shows when you flash CrDroid or flash Pixel?

Which Pixel? Pixel extended, Pixel experience, Pixel Plus.

Did you flash only the firmware or the whole ROM which was 2~4 G zip?

Switching between custom ROMs sometimes will encounter strange issues. Most of the install script is build assume you flash from MIUI.

If change between custom ROMs, it's better flash MIUI ROM first, then flash the other custom ROMs.

Format data or wipe data?

Try fastboot boot TWRP if the way you went into TWRP was by pressing vol up + power button.

Maybe the files you use are corrupted. Download again then try.

Ask in telegram for more help, maybe someone will know the reason.

If it does not work, do clean flash with everyting said in Section 2.

Keep following the steps.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iman8943:
Tnx but i can't flash it with twrp that said unmount and it needs a password and i couldn't do anything with twrp like format data and...

And i dont have access my internal storage.

Do you have some file that can dycript the password?

Can i install original recovery file or orangfox and others to dycrip it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
First check if you have the latest TWRP by Nebrassy. Install TWRP again.

You need to remove password from the system, not in TWRP.

You can flash from fastboot with fastboot ROM of MIUI.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iman8943:
Also i removed password from system.

But it stil need password.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] kd276:
@pl1992aw, sorry to bother but i need some advices for a complete reset procedure.

I want to restore arrowOS to default settings like the first time i installed it, wiping data/dalvik/cache/internal storage have no effect, still keep my settings even if i reinstall the os again after.

The factory reset option under settings->system-> restore -> factory reset, have no effect too.

Guess my personal settings are stored to the OS partition and unless i format it the settings aren't overwrite even with a new installation.

Edit

The option to reset all setting was format data, then wipe data/dalvik/cache.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] iman8943:
Can i install another reccovery like orangfox or red wolf?

If installed that can be solved?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
You can try. Likely will not be solved.

Fingerprint lock, face lock, bluetooth lock, sim lock should all be removed.

If you have microSD card, remove it from the phone and try. Sometimes microSD card is causing problems.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Download latest TWRP if you were using TWRP.

Format data with recovery, then reboot to recovery.

After rebooted to recovery, flash ROM in recovery.

Format data again after flashing ROM.

USB OTG or microSD can also be used.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
Thanks for your reply. I am not able to access my internal storage with my computer even after formatting and rebooting to recovery. Is there any way I can access my phone storage again? Else I will have to get USBOTG or microSD to flash, right?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
Personally had the same experience which after format data, internal storage is still not accessible.

USBOTG or microSD is accessible.

If you don't have USBOTG or microSD at hand, you can try fastboot boot twrp_file_name.img. It may work better.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
And when I try to flash it in Fastboot it shows error:Writing 'crclist'.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Rhaegar85:
I have TWRP installed and boot in and out but cant flash stock rom in fastboot and not able to access storage in TWRP. Will try fastboot boot twrp_file_name.img and see if that helps. Thanks a mil!

Remove all the app you install on your phone, reboot phone. Follow Section 1 and check if you have every settings match.

Update unlock tool.

Put phone under fastboot mode, detect with fastboot if it shows device.

If it shows the device, keep phone connected to PC under fastboot mode and reboot PC.

Hi guys!

So I was following this https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/bacon/build wiki to build a lineageos 18.1 ROM for my one plus one.

Unfortunately, when I get to the step for "breakfast bacon", I get the following errors.

What am I doing wrong?

p.s. if I do a "breakfast d855", then I get no error.
