Poco F3 (alioth) EEU Stock ROM 1.0.3 to xiaomi.eu (alioth) -> fastboot method (?)

[CyNote]

Hi everyone,

I'm an old guy now, with Poco F3 device in my hands. From my ... I received 1.0.3 EEU version which is removed by Xiaomi Officially and cannot even be found on their Download Section as a full fastboot rom. 1.0.3 has a lot of issues, especially VoLTE is not working which is important for me.

Now am up to unlocking the bootloader, my question is:

After unlocking is successful, can I flash xiaomi.eu 1.0.6 for alioth found here by fastboot ?

I have seen in many sites, they require 1.0.2.

Please advise @ingbrzy (Thank you also for your hard work so many years)

 

[ingbrzy]

you can use latest version and flash via fastboot..

Good morning @ingbrzy and a Happy New Year !!!

Thank you for your reply to my post, I appreciate it.

It's a headache to be on 1.0.3 EEU (stock ROM) and nothing to be working normally.

My only worry is Revolut on xiaomi.eu but I will check it as I believe SafetyNet etc. all goes well with your ROM here.

Best Regards,

I can't access the Revolut app

Good morning. The revolut app won't let me log in because it says my phone is rooted. That is false because to install the version I have of the xiaomi.eu rom (1.0.6.0 with hyper os 1.0) it is not necessary to have the phone rooted. Do you know any possible solution? My phone is a poco F3...

xiaomi.eu

Yeap! This is the headache now. Though, I have received 1.0.3 by my own wrong step to change region once, and 1.0.3 broke a lot of things. Now am thinking to downgrade to 1.0.2 using MiFlash Tool and then set-up TWRP and Xiaomi.EU as I was doing years ago BUT: I'm afraid of the anti-roll back = brick from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2

You can do a downgrade without any problems by doing a format data.
Anti-rollback doesn't matter anymore: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/miui-13-stable-release.64441/page-244#post-674856

Unfortunately on 1.0.3 you cannot flash a Custom Recovery. So, if Downgrade can be done from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2 with MiFlash Tool and not bricking it that would be nice. Afterwards with 1.0.2 I can flash eg. TWRP and so on.

Of course you can flash a custom recovery: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/installing-a-custom-recovery.67841/
But not all can decrypt since beginning of Android 14 (or A13?, dont't know exactly).
But as a custom recovery isn't necessary anymore for flashing Xiaomi.eu, it's not important.

For now Xiaomi Community does not give me the permission to unlock my bootloader. From 03/01 moved to 04/01, then from 06/01 moved to 08/01 and I have 3658 days in Mi Community.

Hello,
I was looking for a way to install eu rom on my phone and found your post. I have the same version as you. I don't know if it's safe to unlock my boatloader and install the rom using fastboot method, please help

To flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM onto your Poco F3 (alioth) from the EEU Stock ROM 1.0.3 using the fastboot method, start by unlocking your bootloader via the Mi Unlock Tool. After downloading the latest Xiaomi.eu ROM, install ADB and Fastboot on your PC and boot your phone into Fastboot mode. Connect your device, open the terminal, and use the following commands to flash the ROM:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Once complete, your phone will reboot, and you’ll be on the Xiaomi.eu ROM. Remember to back up your data before proceeding. If issues arise, refer to XDA for help.

thats such a bad advice............
please dont give advice about that.
thats how it works:
taken from here, first post: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/hyperos-2-0-stable-release.74372/

Installing with Fastboot:

• Download Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file
• Extract the ROM zip to a new folder
• Power off your device
• Boot your device in Fastboot mode (Hold volume down + power buttons)
• Connect to PC via USB cable
• Run one of the installation scripts (according to your PC operating system):
  - install_and_format_data - with data wipe, if you're flashing Xiaomi.eu ROM for the first time or downgrading.
  - install_upgrade - without data wipe, if you're updating from an older Xiaomi.eu ROM.
• Done!

Installing with TWRP:
(TWRP must be installed with Fastboot mode and ZIP signature verification must be disabled)

• Download Xiaomi.eu ROM zip file
• Reboot to TWRP
• If installing for the first time or downgrading: Wipe -> Format Data
• Copy the ROM zip file to the internal storage
• Install -> Select the ROM zip file
• Reboot to system
• Done!
