community, i need your help.
today i unlocked bootloader on my pocophone f1.
then i followed instructions for flashing twrp. i flashed latest version of twrp (from twrp official site), then flashed "disable force encryption", clicked "reboot" and the phone just keeps rebooting on opening screen with "pocophone by xiaomi" logo. i went back to twpr, cleared dalvik/cache and did factory reset and result is the same.
before flashing twrp i was on latest global stable miui 11.0.4 (android 10).
what went wrong and how to fix this? thank you in advance!

Im also new to this thing, but i have suggest you to flash to stock first to fix bootloop.
My method is using XiaoMiFlashTool, before that you need to have stock rom to flash and rename it to PIE.
I also put that folder into desktop. ( more detail maybe you could search on youtube i think )
Then, bring your poco to fastboot mode, then open your MiFlashTool click refresh if device doesnt popup. when device is detected you can start flashing, and ur poco should be fixed from bootloop. ( also makesure you checking on left bottom corner before flashing, there is option you could choose. )
Next step just install your TWRP and disable encrption and install magisk afterward.
Iam not really good at explain thing, but i trying :laugh: thats what i do when my poco softbricked. maybe someone could correct me if iam wrong. but this is what iam doing so fat, there's no problem until now :fingers-crossed:
i solved it... it seems twrp installing somehow deleted miui system from my phone. now it's all ok.
thanks anyway.

How did you solve? By reflashing MIUI using MI flash tool? Or by installing custom rom? Were you able to reboot to twrp?
first of all, you must be fully concentrated when installing twrp, because twrp can delete your system, like in my case.
yes, i was able to reboot into twrp always. then i installed xeu rom to check if everything is ok. and it was.
Without data loss, is this method come back to normal as before for poco f1 mobile?

Im stuck on poco boot screen and after few seconds it reboots to fastboot.
I did a twrp backup (system, vendor, data and boot) when everything was working but now after i try to restore the twrp backup, it still doesnt fix the problem.
before this, i flashed a new PE build and that had a boot loop for some reason.
wtf?
How does my twrp backup restore doesnt fix it ?
Do i have to miflash a fastboot rom ? is it the only fix for me now ?
You may find your solution here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-decryption-t3853004/page42
You can also install latest ROM and restore data only.

i dont have a firmware zip in my storage and i cant push it through adb because i didnt have debugging enabled. So i cant cleanflash because i dont have the firmware zip. Looks like i will need to use the mifash method.
flash the original Vendor image!
if you have flashed PE over MIUI10.2.x
, this mean you have used MODIFIED VENDOR IMAGE
poco supports Treble!
you cannot flash PE/ or any other custom rom over modified vendor image
take the latest vendor image from mirror.akhilnarang.me/MIUI/beryllium/
and flash it view twrp
and reboot
you wil lbe fine
i fixed the problem. I put firmware - vendor zip in sd card and flashed it through sd card. All good now. Thanks for trying to help my dumb ass.
i guess there might be some magisk module thats causing the bootloop after i flash a new build of rom . Maybe.
If thats the case. There's a flashable zip file that lets you disable a magisk module via TWRP.. ehehehe.. happened to me too. I flash gl tools via magisk systemless then it got stuck on pocofone f1 loading screen.. so i flashed that magisk module disabler.. hit some commands via TWRP TERMinal emu.. then it boot right away..

Always uninstall Magisk before flashing new update if you are on official twrp cuz it doesn't support ota, update then reinstall it. If you have did so wipe encrypted internal storage , wait a bit it will boot .

Tell someone to call you, it was glitchy for me for the first 2-3 mins after the call but later works fine.
Hi peeps
New Pocophone owner here. I got my bootloader unlocked earlier today and now trying to flash the official TWRP 3.3.0.0 recovery from twrp.me, simply following the fastboot instructions on the device guide.
However every time I reboot the device, the recovery always reverts to the stock MIUI recovery?
What am I doing wrong here?
I just got the phone and have upgraded it to MIUI 10.3.6 as well. I am wanting to flash pixel experience onto it.
Do following, instead of flashing your recovery.
Use this method boot and flash Magisk. Reboot back to your system and install Flashify and install your choosen Recovery with it

in stock rom you need to flash magisk right after flashing twrp else it will get replaced by stock

What the post above says is correct. However, if you don't want Magisk, after flashing TWRP, reboot into recovery and then into system. You may retain TWRP. However, this doesn't work for everyone.
Hi all, I fixed the issue by completely wiping my phone via TWRP and clean flashing pixel experience ROM. After rebooting on pixel rom TWRP persists.
It appears that MIUI rom has something that keeps reverting it to stock MI-recovery.
If you are on MIUI and flashing TWRP, once the recovery is up for the first time, you need to head on to reboot>recovery again in order to overwrite MIUI stock recovery. So the whole process would be like this;
i) Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the name of the image)
ii) Fastboot boot recovery
iii) Once TWRP is up, Swipe to allow modification and then go to Reboot>Recovery and reboot into TWRP once more. That's it! You have just overwritten the stock recovery and are now on TWRP!! Now you can reboot to system and TWRP will remain on your device. There's no need to flash Magisk etc if you want just TWRP and nothing else.

Did you follow step 3? You can't boot into system right after twrp is up for the first time. You need to reboot into twrp twice before you boot into system. This is what I do whenever I flash twrp and it never failed me yet.

Yes, I even flashed the recovery image from within TWRP and rebooted to recovery again. Still didn't work.
Note this was on the new 10.3.6 stable MIUI release that got rolled out recently. Not sure if it has new detection or anything that rolls it back.
Anyway I have resolved my issue now all is good.

How did you fix it?
Hello to everyone reading this...
This was my first time doing anything with twrp and generally flashing custom roms.
So i unlocked bootloader on my Poco F1 in like no time (didnt even had to wait 3 days) and flashed via adb twrp... then i installed twrp in twrp and my os (miui) unfortunatly vanished. Now im kinda stuck here. when trying to install a OS, it says it worked but then:
- reboot into twrp
- No os installed
My Custom Rom i tried to install is the Pixel Experience Plus one and even the stock miui 12.0.3 rom recovery didnt work.
Do i need to install magisk or disable force encryption or disable dm verity?
i used the newest twrp :twrp-3.5.2_10-0-beryllium.img
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you

okay thanks, i just flashed miui fastboot vis miflash tool and then followed guide. it did work out now, thanks for the help!
I should have been more careful before updating coz after the update i realized that twrp won't work on miui 13. I can fastboot recovery but the internal storage is encrypted and it shows 0 MB. I need root, so i am thinking of downgrading to 12.5 again. Can i do that without loosing data? Also how can i downgrade? Should i just download fastboot version of the rom and update it?

you can't update from 13 to 12.5 you need to erase all your data , it's mandatory...
Just flash the fastboot rom with Mi Flash and tick "Clean All" so after MIUI boot you can flash twrp and other ROM again
Already messed it up :-( Can you please tell me which fastboot rom i should flash... I was using eu rom but even after flashing it phone boots to mi recovery.
Hey, yesterday I flashed xiaomi eu stable MIUI 13.0.3 by their script.
To do it,
1) put the phone in fastboot mode
2) just run the script by double clicking on it, however you need the file with data_format on the end.
If your phone does bootloop and go back to MIUI Recovery 5.0 like mine did yesterday, you can fix it by wiping all data in this recovery it boots up to and then restarting the phone. It worked for me and my friend.

miui 13 is not worth to try , is just miui 12.5 with more bugs , nothing changed so flash fastboot rom with mi flash

I didnt know this.. I won't go to MIUI 13 again coz there are no recoveries for it and it cant be decrypted for now but its good to know that i dont need recovery for root. Thank you!
I installed today CherishOS A12. Tbh cool rom, doesn't work that bad. A lot better than miui though. Animations are nice and long, plus the phone is fast.
I was running stock MIUI with root and TWRP recovery. After flashing the Pixel Experience Android 11 ROM, I didn't flash TWRP again. I tried many attempts (I haven't mentioned everything here to keep the post shorter) to install TWRP again, and I managed to do it successfully once. However, now when I boot into TWRP and select the A partition, it can't decrypt with my password and reboots the system, always opening the bootloader. When selecting the B partition, if I format the data and flash Magisk, it opens up the system (it opens the bootloader without flashing Magisk). But after booting into the system, if I boot TWRP again and reboot into the system without doing anything, my settings app and Bluetooth stop working. Then I have to boot into TWRP again, format the data, and flash Magisk again to boot the system normally. I can't install any Magisk modules either. However, the root is working.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do?"

flash stock miui according to your region with mi flash (don't lock the bootloader!)
this generally solves any problem and you can go back to custom roms after booting into miui.
Anyway , i recommend you to use the recovery provided with the rom itself as twrp can give issues sometimes.

Here's a complete explanation what I have done:
Initially, I was running stock MIUI with root access and TWRP recovery. However, I decided to switch to the Pixel Experience ROM. I downloaded the Pixel Experience Android 11 version and flashed it directly from TWRP since I didn't have access to a PC at that time. I only flashed the ROM file and didn't install the Pixel Experience recovery image, assuming that my TWRP would remain intact. But when I rebooted into recovery after the ROM installation, it booted into the Pixel Experience recovery instead. I couldn't find an option to flash the recovery image, only an option to apply an update through ADB sideload.
Fortunately, I managed to use a friend's computer and installed all the necessary ADB and Fastboot drivers. The computer could detect my phone in ADB sideload mode, but when I tried to boot into the bootloader, the PC couldn't detect my phone. Despite multiple attempts of booting into the Pixel Experience recovery and enabling ADB sideload, the PC couldn't recognize the fastboot mode. Strangely, every time I booted into the bootloader, my phone automatically powered off after displaying the Redmi logo. Holding the power button didn't help as it consistently powered off after showing the logo, without accessing the bootloader or recovery mode. I was afraid my phone had become completely unresponsive.
After numerous attempts, my phone unexpectedly booted into the bootloader again. This time, I connected my phone to another device using BugJagger, which successfully detected my phone. I used the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" followed by "fastboot boot twrp.img" to open TWRP. However, I couldn't decrypt it using my password. I then flashed TWRP again and tried to boot into the system, but it always reverted back to the bootloader. I went back into recovery, selected partitions A to B, and flashed Magisk ZIP, DM variety ZIP, and LazyFlasher ZIP (without fully understanding their purpose).
Finally, my phone successfully booted into the system. However, upon rebooting into TWRP and then rebooting the system without any changes, my settings app and bluetooth stoped working. To resolve this, I had to boot into TWRP once again, format the data, and flash Magisk to restore normal operation.

don't mess with the slots and don't flash things you don't know about... you can ask here if you have doubts...

We don't need these things in our device
Don't mess up with Active Slot
If you try to change your Active slot into Inactive slot, once you Reboot to system, you will go straight to fastboot
You need Android Bootloader Interface to detect your phone in bootloader and ADB Composite to detect your phone in ADB, such as : Google USB Driver r13
Why you don't ask before doing anything, we have global community chat in telegram, for sure, we will help you in possible way
I assume you need back to stock rom to fix this issue
