Poco F1 Android Pie update

Latest news

January 22, 2020: Xiaomi is finally pushing the stable Android 10 to the Poco F1. The update is currently only available for beta testers which means a stable release can be expected some time in the near future. It’s based on MIUI 11 beta and comes with an optimized game turbo mode and other bug fixes. The latest build is limited to select authorized Mi Accounts and can be flashed through TWRP, as clarified by XDA Developers. However, the same ROM can be used by stable users once Xiaomi decided to flip the switch to Stable.March 13, 2019: The Poco F1 is receiving a new software update that installs MIUI 10.2.3.0.PEJMIXM. As per the changelog, the update installs a new security patch to the device alongside plenty of bug fixes and performance optimizations.

February 27, 2019: Xiaomi in mid-January 2019 promised that it would bring support for Widevine L1 to the Pocophone F1. And indeed, through the latest MIUI 10 beta 9.2.25, the Poco F1 has now gained support for Widevine L1, meaning that from now henceforth, playing HD content from platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime is a go.

At the moment, the update is still in beta, but we expect it to fully be implemented into the stable version in the coming weeks.

How to install an update on Poco F1

There are various ways in which you can install a software update on the Poco F1. Here they are:

Using local updater

  1. Download the update file from the table above. The file should be a recovery update ROM, not a fastboot ROM.
  2. Transfer the update file to your Poco F1 if you downloaded it on PC.
  3. Open the Settings app, and tap on About phone.
    Xiaomi system updater
  4. Tap on System update.
  5. Tap on 3-dot menu button in the top right.
  6. Tap on Choose update package.
  7. Browse and select the update file you downloaded above.
  8. The system will verify the update and install it automatically. When it asks for confirmation, do confirm to allow installation. Be sure to back up important data as the update installation may delete apps and data.

Using Fastboot mode

Like with Recovery mode, installing system updates using Fastboot also requires a PC, however, you also need an unlocked bootloader for this to work, alongside these steps (click here if your device is not unlocked):

  1. Download MIUI ROM Flashing Tool.
  2. Select your preferred MIUI ROM version from the list and download the corresponding files. Be sure to check if the suffix of the ROM file is .tgz. If not, rename it to .tgz.
  3. Turn off your Xiaomi device and press the Volume Power buttons simultaneously to enter into Fastboot mode. Connect the device to your PC using a USB cable.
  4. Double click on the downloaded ROM file and decompress it.
  5. Open the file folder for the decompressed package and copy its path on your computer.
  6. Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1.
  7. Double click on it to install on your PC.
  8. When the installation is done, run MiFlash.exe to open MiFlash software.
  9. In its address bar, paste the folder path of the ROM file copied in Step 5.
  10. Click on the yellow circled-out button to refresh and MiFlash will automatically recognize your device.
  11. Click the red circled-out button to flash the ROM file to the device.
  12. Sit back and watch the progress bar inside MiFlash turn fully green, implying that the new system update has been successfully installed on your device.

Using Recovery mode

Note – If you are updating to a discontinuous ROM or downgrading to an older ROM version using the full ROM pack, make sure you wipe all data in Recovery mode.

  1. On your PC, download the latest MIUI ROM for your Poco F1 from above.
  2. Rename the downloaded MIUI ROM file to update.zip as this is required sometimes.
  3. Using a USB cable, connect your Xiaomi device to your PC
  4. Copy the downloaded ROM file that you renamed above (update.zip) into the root directory of your device’s internal storage. By root directory, it means the ROM file shouldn’t dwell inside any folder.
  5. Enter recovery mode on your Xiaomi device. You can do this in two ways:
    • First method: Launch the Updater app on your phone and then click on the 3-dot icon in the top right corner. Now select the Reboot to Recovery mode option.
    • Second method: Turn off the device. Now, press and hold both Volume up Power buttons together until you see anything on the screen, after which the device should boot into recovery mode.
      Note: In Recovery mode, pressing Volume up/down scrolls through the options on the screen while hitting the Power button means you are confirming the current selection.
  6. In recovery mode, select your language and then select Install update.zip option and confirm your selection by pressing the Power button. This will begin the update process automatically.
  7. The update will complete after a few minutes and when done, choose Reboot to System and your device will boot to the new and intended software version.
