[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] rashazad:
Since recoveries play a crucial role in flashing firmwares, custom ROMs and offline updates, it is of importance to have access to them. This post is about sources and instructions to working versions of recoveries for Alioth. Platform Tools (aka ADB) and USB drivers should be set beforehand. Latest versions are reliable enough. PixelExperience, PixelOS, Paranoid, HyperOS (ported) and MIUI (official and Xiaomi.eu) ROMs have been tested. Other AOSP or MIUI-based ROMs should work fine too. Before proceeding to flash,

make sure about your ROM type

(standard or vendor_boot) to avoid not desired consequences. Blew are the most recent versions. All links are to original servers.
