Now no need to wait 72 hours anymore.

can refer to this FAQ --> https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html


2 issue i encounter
1 - the latest version is not working. Need to download version miflash_unlock-en-4.5.813.51.zip and let it update to latest version
2 - during unlock it will stuck at 50% and will failed. Need to connect the phone to an USB hub instead directly to PC (maybe AMD Ryzen punya pasal)

After unlock, the system will format your phone

Haha , if that is the case, gotta get a usb hub and make it as a bridge between your phone and your cpu

Another alternative is registry hack or something , but I just get a hub to do the job

Hope this weekend able to start install the TWRP and install Pixel Experience

All the best over there

Finally able to "upgrade" my PocoF1 to Pixel Experience

The process is not complicated , just need to have correct tools
In my case, my el'cheapo USB 2.0 hub cannot pakai

Need to change to USB 3.0 Hub only can flash rom successfully (for TWRP) installation else will get many weird error (plus i am using Ryzen)


Anyway, back to the PixelExperience Rom , it kind give my PocoF1 a new life.

Everything is snappy and UI is far far far far more better than MIUI (sorry Xiaomi, but it is true)

Even running Geekbencharking able to get slightly higher score compare to stock rom (MIUI 12)

Lucky still able to run Maybank app

Pretty satisfied with this new rom and plan to use back F1 as my main driver.

Nice...my pc just arrived...using ryzen also...can recommend any cheap usb hub to use?

Did you try backing up photo. Can get unlimited storage or not using that rom?

Any el"cheapo USB hub 3.0 will do I guess, the one i get was around RM30, janji the usb cable is like following shape:

So far photo backup is ok
one thing i notice, the camera setting no more option for you to choose the resolution, instead, only show how many photos can be capture at the moment.

enjoy the experience ya

my f1 USB koyak, can charge but cannot connect to PC.
btw battery life also suck now, any solutions.

Er... do you enable the USB Debugging mode ?

need to enable the developer mode first then only can turn on this option

As for battery ... the only way is to replace the battery (either by yourself or let the shop do it for you)
