This is all you need to complete the flashing or installation of the ROM on your mobile device. OR, use the full stock firmware (Recovery ROM) and go through the following instructions. Flashing a mobile device consists of installing, debugging or updating the Stock Firmware (OS) of your smartphone. Its function is therefore to correct faults coming from the factory that hinder the regular activity of your mobile.
For some devices, if the fingerprint is for an Android build after March 16th 2018, it is necessary to use a security patch date that matches the fingerprint used. For the module provided fingerprints this is done automatically, but if you enter a fingerprint manually you will have to update the security patch date yourself (if they don’t already match). If you’re setting a fingeprint without using the internal fingerprints list, use the Custom props function of this module to change ro.build.version.security_patch to the desired date. This module is a very complicated way of doing something very simple.
- Step 16 – Select “Recovery” from the partition list to make sure the stock Android firmware file will be flashed there.
- In this way, not only MIUI or Android version, but also your applications will always be up to date.

Thanks to the XDA developer jhenrique09, Android 9 Pie based Pixel Experience ROM is working excellently with only few issues. The Wi-Fi hotspot function and IR Camera is not working as expected. Apart from these small issues, the ROM is almost stable and can be used as a daily driver. What is more, you can enjoy Google Pixel 3 camera on your Poco F1. It offers the same AOSP experience that’s exclusive to Google’s lineup, along with truly tested features. Since crDroid is based on LineageOS at its base, the performance and battery life are phenomenal. The Android developer community is huge, with their biggest feat being the ability to develop custom ROMs or custom Android builds.
The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is an interesting experiment for the company and I for one am curious to see how it pans out for them. Many have said they are taking the OnePlus approach by offering high-end specs at a respectable price. They are also being quite friendly to the developer community with a promise of only a 3-day wait for their bootloader unlock program. Which still shouldn’t even be needed, but it’s a lot better than having to wait over 2 months like some other Xiaomi devices. Some new information has come out about the smartphone from Xiaomi’s sub-brand as we’ve now been told that it will be updated to at least Android Q.
