OTA is possible, but you will reboot into recovery when you press install.
If you are on the weekly rom, a new build will be provided every thursday, you don't have to install it. But if you aren't planning on installing weekly builds, I suggest you just install the stable roms.
My POCO F3 6GB/128GB was stuck in the POCO logo following this guide, the guide itself is safe and correct the only issue is with downloaded ROM (the weekly version)
I downloaded ---> xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.2.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11-fastboot
Reapplied the same steps and it went from the POCO logo in boot to the MIUI logo in less than a minute, in 10 min or so it fully booted up so if you run into the same issue the fix is available.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently using MIUI 12.5.2.0 (stable version) on my alioth.
If I want to update the system through the "update functionnality", here is what happen after downloading it:
But if I click on "Yes", nothing happen.
So I checked on the previous post here and I'm still a bit confused.
If I want to update, I'm supposed to :
1) download "TWRP-3.5.1-alioth-Nebrassy-2" version of TWRP
2) boot it (and not install it), running
3) manually select the ROM already downloaded by the system update and run the installation
BUT...
... I don't want to lose my data (or get some loop issues obviously) and some posts mentions we have to wipe data...
So in this case (upgrading from 12.5.2.0 to 12.5.3.0) is the wiping step necessary?
I prefer to ask before doing something wrong...

Not necessary to wipe data when updated from stable to stable rom

Hi
I'm completely new to installing customs roms, and I'm trying to get the stable Xiaomi.Eu for my Poco F3 but I'm reading a dozen different guides and steps and I'm super confused, so if anyone could give me a clear step by step for the stable version boot I would much appreciate it!
The steps I've done so far:
I have unlocked the bootloader, but I did sign back in to the phone and check the unlock status, and I activated USB debugging since it was off again for some reason.
I have downloaded the ADB drivers, platform tools and TWRP.img (do I need to rename the img file, some post said so at least?)
And that's where I am now. So do I have to wipe the phone again and enter fastboot right after since I signed in after unlocking? And what do I do from there?
I'm also seeing 2 versions of the stable rom:
xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.2.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11-fastboot.zip
and
xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.3.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip
which one do I need?

There is a detailed guide above you. You don't have to do anything just follow the instructions exactly.
You need xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.3.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip,
On the first page is an old installation method that is not used.

Thank you!
I don't need to be in fastboot mode for this method then? Because in fastboot I can't see my phone storage on PC so I can't put the rom there. Also do I just put the rom zip into the first folder of storage?
Also I don't need to have TWRP in my phone storage?
Installation:
1. fastboot boot twrp.img
2. copy that same twrp image to the device
3. go to Advanced > Install Recovery Ramdisk
4. select the image you copied
these steps?

OMG It's so simple. Follow step by step
Have you read the instructions?
first insert rom into the phone, then boot fastboot.
do not mix different instructions

Like I said, I've never done this before so I wanna be sure I do stuff correctly. And I did read the instructions, you just edited it to have the set to fastboot after putting the rom into storage.
I'm just curious why there are different instructions in the first place. So just to make it clear, I don't need to have TWRP folder or TWRP.img in my phone storage? Your guide doesn't mention it but you do have a TWRP folder in the storage image.
Yes I understand, but I'm specifically talking about the instructions on the TWRP site that mention about the recovery ramdisk and putting the twrp.img into your phone storage. Don't you need twrp to get automatic updates for the rom? I'm sorry if I sound dumb or repeating but I'm a literal baby when it comes to this stuff.
Alright sorry to trouble you then. I know you said it's not necessary to have TWRP, but I was trying to clarify if it was beneficial, or if your steps do it automatically at some point.
I just want to be able to get the automatic updates on future stable versions and not have to wipe memory / do everything manually again.

Everything will be done in my instructions.
When done, you will have TWRP and receive updates (no further erasing of memory)

Thanks, it is a clear tutorial to explain how to install the ROM and TWRP. I will follow to do when my BL is unlocked.
Additionally, Cloud you briefly to explain how to do the ROM update and TWRP update? Many thanks for your help
If TWRP is release new update is it necessary to update it? Does it difficult?

Is it only me that can't find the "Pocket Mode" ? on my POCO X3 I can find it under the "Lock screen" option but nothing on my POCO F3
Can I use this method to install EU ROM (weekly) for my k40 (Chinese version rom)

Why not?
This is the method we all used here.
That's a good idea the OP made a perfect summary.
