Piece of advice :
If there comes any problem with this unlock process, NEVER try to unlock by official unlock tool, as you will not be able to install custom recovery and finally end up in an unlocked bootloader device with no warranty and no custom recovery to proceed further!!!
in such cases fix the communication between phone and pc, instead of directly jumping to official tool​
Wow..
Anyone try this??
what is the firmware version that is being used in this Indian root image? mine start with ww_xxxxx.....
Will the unofficial way of unlocking void warranty?

Yes. Warranty will be void. But there is always a possibility of relocking bootloader to obtain warranty.
Was someone able to root successfully?
Yes. I confirm this works.
Which method did u use
Did u unlocked the bootloader and then flashed masgisk via twrp or via patched boot image method.

Got it working the problem is with adb it was installed and then I reinstalled it as given in steps, which might have broken the adb so if I performed the steps in ubuntu and everything worked perfectly. I am attaching the error images. If anyone else getting issue try uninstalling adb and drivers and then reinstalling adb and drivers.
Official way?

This is a basic guide to flash a rom via recovery in Mi A3 as title says.
Is created to help all those that want but can't.
Please read before act, and if you don't understand....well read again.
Mi A3 is a device with treble support, and while is not difficult to flash a rom,is a little bit tricky process.
So here are the detailed steps to do achieve that.
First things first, you've got to have your bootloader unlocked. Follow below steps to do that:
-Enable developer options by going to settings/about phone and clicking 5 times on build number.
Inside developer options:
-Find and enable OEM unlocking.
-Find and enable USB debugging.
In adb tools type:
-
Code:
adb devices
reboot to bootloader.
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock bootloader(you will lose all your data).
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
When the device reboot, boot once again in fastboot by powering off then power on while pressing vol down button.
Type command to full unlock bootloader.
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Proceed to recovery flash
Notice that you've got to have all files ready, either inside external sd or in your pc. All files are at the end of this thread as links or attachments.
Also i'm suggesting OrangeFox recovery for now because is the most stable.
-First you following the orangefox recovery installation guide:
- Download the OrangeFox zip file from here or the link at the end and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)
- Extract the recovery.img from the zip and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC
- Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):
-
Code:
adb devices
(to make sure your device is detected)
-
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(to reboot into fastboot mode)
-
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
(to check what's your current active slot)
-
Code:
fastboot set_active b
(if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)
-
Code:
fastboot erase boot
-
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img [b](OR WHATEVER NAME YOUR RECOVERY HAVE)[/b]
-
Code:
fastboot reboot
(NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo.
-->> By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System <<--
- Install the OrangeFox zip (always install the latest build available and always keep a copy of recovery zip file in your external sd)
- Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)
After orangefox recovery is installed, you are ready to flash your rom.
You can move your rom files inside your external or internal memory(prefer external to avoid deleting them accidentally).
To do that you can either do it before the whole procedure, or after the recovery installation since you have mtp and adb available.
Copy them drag them or push them via adb(i'm not going to extend the adb push command here)
Now the flashing steps:
-Go to partition manager inside orangefox recovery and select data/format data(red button) and press format.Type YES.
-Go back and find the rom file inside your target directory(internal or external).
-Select the rom file and flash it.
-DO NOT REBOOT.
-Go back where you have the orangefox zip file, select it and flash it.
-Leave the device as is because after the installation it will reboot itself to recovery once again.
-Once the recovery starts again go to the target folder that you have the remaining files.
-Flash magiskV20.zip (if you want your device to be rooted).
-Flash Gapps if there are any or skip this step if your ROM provider have them included.
-Flash patchnofde10 zip to avoid data encryption(if you don't do that the rom will NOT boot).
-Reboot to system and enjoy.
All files are available to the links below.
Patchnofde file is attached to this post.

Okay I got it to boot to Havoc OS but my wifi and gsm calls stopped working. Also videos were flashing during playback. I guess I was doing something wrong during the whole flashing process and the device ended up without the correct firmware.
I have reverted back to stock using one of the fastboot ROM flashing scripts and everything is fine, though I would like to go Android 10 without GAPPS if possible.
Thank you very much for the guide. Do you recommend any backup with orange box? If I want to revert to stock rom, do I need to know something?
How could I update the ROM?

Same as above.
If you don't flash patch for the encryption, you ll end up to recovery again. Also I recommend to read carefully the steps with the recovery flashing. You have to be sure that the slot is what it was at the beginning.
A out the Android backup, yes. You can take and restore backups freely.

Because ADB and fastboot are different modes and using different commands. In fastboot use "fastboot devices".

pls help
you're not supposed to flash twrp to the boot partition you need a boot partition image.
the recovery is a ram disk image stored inside the boot partition.
once you fix the boot partition you can boot the img of twrp and once in twrp theres an option to flash it to the recovery ram disk.
@metalspider thanks! where can i find such an boot image? in the firmware images i found a boot.img file, is that right? i flashed it with
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...

infinite fastboot loop is fixed now. booting to twrp does not work tho.
it boots to a loading state now, but it loads infinitly.
i wiped all data in recovery mode.
so i did boot to TWRP, which does work now.
what to do now? transfere a rom via adb and custom recovery it via TWRP boot?
depends what rom you want to flash
a lot of custom roms will have you flash their boot which includes there recovery and adb sideload the rom zip from there.
some will require a specific firmware version and some even need custom vendor images etc
follow the rom you choose install instructions

How are you booting into TWRP?
"fastboot boot twrp.img" is the recommended way.
This will simply boot TWRP (only load it into RAM), and from inside TWRP, if you want to install it, go to Settings-page > Advanced > "Install RamDisk".
You can also use OrangeFox Recovery, it's slightly more modern and my preference.
The reason why we do it this way nowadays, is because the Boot-partition and the Recovery-partition got merged, now we only have Boot-partition. This is also why your phone stopped being able to boot. You replaced the Boot-code with just TWRP-code. However TWRP-code needs to be *patched* into the Boot-partition, meaning *added* to the Boot-code. Fastboot can only replace partitions entirely, however Recovery *CAN* modify partitions.
Hope this clears things up.

I have rooted many phones over the years,
I follow my instructions as before, using Part 2, Part 5 & Part 6,
when rooting new roms that don`t have a useable recovery.
If i make a complete mess of my F3 then i use parts 1, 1a & 1b in fastboot mode,
Its a nice easy way to return almost to original stock with minimal effort,
I`m glad you got it sorted.
I have been trying for over 8 hours to fix this phone but I can't flash twrp.
when I try "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" I get:
Writing 'recovery' FAILED(remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')
Now I can't even install a rom,go back to the stock one or do anything.I only have the poco screen when I try to turn it on and the fastboot screen.Please help

If you can get into fastboot mode, use Miflash to get back to stock.

BOOT VERSION
Installation:
Phone in fastboot mode
Cmd:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Power shell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REC VERSION
Install with TWRP.
"only boots through cmd, but can't flash it"
Use "fastboot boot twrp.img", then "Install RamDisk" in TWRP
But you don't have to install TWRP or OrangeFox to use them. You can also just boot into them.
Modern phones don't have Recovery-partition anymore, Recovery is merged into Boot-partition now. Fastboot can only replace partitions and not inject things like TWRP into it, so you have to install TWRP through a recovery, because those can patch a partition (inject TWRP).
You can flash MIUI Recovery ZIP (full, not incremental) to get back to MIUI. xiaomifirmwareupdater.com has official MIUI ROMs. You can use "adb sideload" in TWRP to install a ZIP
But since you say you wiped all or most partitions, I'd say use Mi Flash and Fastboot ROMs instead...

This is what i use to get out of boot issues, infact i have been playing around with the A13 ColorOS (OnePlus 8 Pro Port) today and after a clean install i was faced with rebooting into fastboot, i was able to access recovery but no way of installing a different rom even after changing slots A/B and stuck in FASTBOOT mode.
My get out of fastboot for free card is to install Xiaomi.eu V12 via fast boot then i`m back to almost official firmware,
I hope you sort it, I've been there many times

You could've avoided making this thread by simply searching how to install TWRP on Poco F3, on YouTube.
There are so many videos about it...
Hi,
Did you have a go using my method,
1. Put your F3 into FASTBOOT mode,
1a. connect to your PC.
2. Run temporary Orangefox using, RUN_TWRP-Orange Fox FIXED.bat file.
3. After Orangefox re-boots back into recovery, from the hamburger "Menu" select, flash current Orangefox.
I`ve had some strange issue with orangefox, to fix it i reset to defaults from with-in "FOX ADDONS" in the Menu folder.
If you are struggling with installing a new rom then i would advise to go down the Xiaomi.eu V12 clean install.
Good luck.
Try my method!
1. Connect your POCO to a PC, and hold the volume down button.
2.Download the MIUI ROM from
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
2.5.Open MiFlash, select the MIUI_13.X.X folder and click OK.
3.Select flash_all.bat or flash_all_lock.bat depending if you want your device locked again or still unlocked.
4.Click Flash
5.After rebooting, you are done!
Oh wait, you dont want to flash MIUI again? Try this:
1.Download twrp_3.7.0_a12 (BUT IF THAT DOESNT WORK) download twrp_3.6.1_a11
2.Open CMD, (in the platform-tools folder) and type this:
fastboot flash boot twrp_3.x.x
(the twrp_3.x.x being the img name)
or
fastboot boot twrp_3.x.x
3.When in TWRP, erase data. REMEMBER, NEVER WIPE SYSTEM OR PERSIST!
- Tap on Wipe
- Format Data
- and for good measure, Also Swipe for a factory reset.
4.If you want to flash a custom rom, depending on what rom it is, im gonna use PixelPlusUI as an example:
adb push PixelPlusUI_2022_10_23 /sdcard
(the rom being the "PixelPlusUi_xxxxxx_23"
Its recommended to flash the newest firmware too:
adb push xiaomi_firmware /sdcard
And flashing it that way.
5 - Change the slot from A to B or from B to A depending on what you saw when you were flashing the ROM.
"FLASHING A/B ZIP TO INACTIVE SLOT: X"
6. After flashing a ROM, go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
7. That's it! - Reboot! but if that doesnt work, reflash MIUI.
Code:

All flashing is done at your own risk!

Decrypting working? Will working on future Android 13 with decrypting? I know that dev received Android 13 already
Yes decrypting working fine, even on Android 13
When I updated yesterday, I immediately flashed it without losing data. For today's update, why doesn't it turn on, you have to turn on the new data format, is there the same or a solution
Can I just boot it with fastboot and flash Magisk flashable file in order to root the phone?
I have seen videos on youtube showing exactly that, just wanted to make sure it's doable.
Just want to root the phone, do not intend to flash any rom (yet).

If you already have your magisk_patched.img, you can choose which method you want:
1. with Fastboot + TWRP (temporary)
fastboot boot [drag and drop recovery.img]
flash your magisk_patched.img in boot partition + check "Flash to both slots"
reboot to system
2. only Fastboot
fastboot flash boot_a [drag and drop magisk_patched.img]
fastboot flash boot_b [drag and drop magisk_patched.img]
fastboot reboot
What if I would "fastboot boot TWRP.img" and then flash Magisk flashable version checking "flash to both slots"?

When you check "Flash to both slots" TWRP will flash the makisk_patched.img to boot_a and boot_b.
I'm not sure, but if you don't check the box, TWRP will maybe flash to inactive slot and you are NOT rooted.
Edit: You can check which slot is active with adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
Is it possible to make a backup of the installed rom with relative restore using this official twrp? If yes, which files to select
ok... i can't access to internal storage via pc. I formated data (type yes), rebooted to recovery again and my pc sees internal storage but there is no info about size and i can't copy files to it. It shows message something like "this device is disconnected". I tried to reinstall adb drivers, tried to restart my pc and it's not working. I used adb sideload to falsh ROM and after i booted to ROM, rebooted to recovery I can access internal storage via TWRP.
Runs super laggy with kernel compiled with gcc which is very strange and annoying.
Can't access storage with PC... Disabled and enabled MTP multiple times...
I had to flash ROM via OTG...
