[Newbie] How to upgrade firmware? - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hey folks,
I'm using the ResurrectionRemix 7.0.2 and I would like to upgrade the pocophone firmware. Does anybody know how to upgrade and to check the actually installed version? Is there anything I need to keep in mind? (e.g. some versions doesnt work with CustomROMs, loss of data,...)
Thanks for your help

Download latest firmware from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/firmware-xiaomi-poco-f1-t3854873
and flash it as a normal zip. No data loss or anything.
You'll have to check with your rom's page, but the common rule is : old firmware- bad/ new firmware- good

I think that was the easiest thing I've ever done.
Thanks a lot

We're you previously on lollipop?
Same question, were you on Lolipop and can I use this to downgrade?
No I wasn´t on Lollipop. I just reinstalled all from scratch in order to test it for you. IDK if you can downgrade. You should try. Its an official firm.
Has anyone downgraded with this from lollipop ?
Can some one share the ota for lolli? I live in mexico and cant update my alpha.

What would happen if I try to downgrade with ODIN and it doesn't work? Would it brick or would nothing happen?
I downgraded from 5.0.2 using this firmware earlier today. It does definitely work. Too bad there's still not a root method and it looks like pitpin gave up on his.
Is it pre unlocked or do we have to get the phone unlocked again ? I am currently on unlocked lollipop.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with ROM files. The unlocked or locked status won't change.

Question: L22- how do i downgrade from B360 to B340?

Hi all, currently I'm on build number B360, L22 India. I want to use the custom roms available for this phone.
I read in one of the threads that the phone doesn't boot on this build, so wanted to know if there is any process to downgrade from B360 to B340 so that I can use the roms available for this phone. I regret my decision of upgrading my phone to the latest build..:crying:
Need help desperately
Any suggestions? Thanks

Any Rom that works on B340 will also work on B360. What you read was wrong

I see now, thanks for correcting me. Seems some things indeed changed while I was on vacation.
you should be able to easily revert to B340 with the files in the repository

Would that downgrade me back to Android MM at the same time? Or would I flash that from the LG Flash Tool?

Flashing CM13 will give you a MM ROM.

There's a lot G4 variants, I can't help you without knowing which one you have.
In any case you can just find it on the official CM page....

i messed up. im stuck on fastboot (bootloader) mode. everytime i choose recovery mode or start, it vibrates and restarts 4 or 5 times only upto the S logo, before going back to fastboot mode again.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" didnt work for me. it just starts my phone normally. so i tried "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" and got error.
need help pls.
edit: im still reading the whole thread and learning of flashing my bs from skr-a0 to skr-h0. i hope ill succeed from the files and procedures im getting at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=ywC_9Hrpb_I
edit2: was successful in flashing to skr-h0 using flash_all.bat (not brick anymore yay! it gave me the chills really.) sending "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" command also now loads me to twrp (thank heavens) but i need to system update OTA first before trying to root again. will update soon.
edit3: now enjoying root on android 8.1... found the hard way that twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img is not for android 9 and wont boot to twrp. probably flashed back to 8.1 for like 5 times more or less. hope maurino or someone else will make and release twrp-3.2.3-1-blackshark.img soon. thanks again for this wonderful thread.
btw: i originally wanted skr-a0 but i cant seem to download the link in the youtube video. file is corrupted. is it just me? i tried on 3 different workstations to no avail.

Also is it possible to root android pie? Twrp working?

I haven't had any issues with the pie update. TWRP currently doesn't work, but the source files on GitHub have been updated I believe. TWRP needs to be available for rooting.

Question Flashing Taiwanese Firmware (61.1.F.5.82) over Russian Firmware (61.0.A.25.7)

Hi!
I recently rooted my XQ-72 running on the RUS firmware.
Since it is no longer being supported and cannot update to Android 12, I was wondering if I could flash the Taiwanese firmware over it without bricking or corrupting the phone. If anyone can lend their expertise, please help!
Thank you so much,
Eric

Hi, I really appreciate your response! I have another question. if you don't mind:
Would you happen to know the best way to flash the firmware? I tried using Emma but it did not offer any services with the device. I have the Taiwanese firmware from XperiFirm but am unsure as to what I should do with the files in the folder.
Thank you so much,
Eric
i think for you the only way is newflasher

Thank you so much! I just successfully flashed the firmware and it is on Android 12. It means so much to me!
Anybody knows if it's possible to flash a European version (XQ-BE52 - EEA) on an Asian model (XQ-BE72)?
It's been so many years since I've done this thing the last time.
