How To Guide [All-in-One] Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (marble): Unlock Bootloader, Root, Flash TWRP, Flash ROM
- Thread starter senerex
- Start date
UPDATED on 2023-08-16 add update flashing steps
TL;DR LineageOS GSI 20 Light (2023-06 version)works for most of the things except auto-rotate and (fixed default setting disable auto rotate at home screen lol) newer bluetooth connection (my 5.3 earbud failed, but the old bluetooth speaker works) lol default setting disabled the phone to scan newer bluetooth items...Now everything works
I know I should wait for xiaomi to release source code to have official custom roms, but I am impatient. I did something similar to the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...experience-plus-gsi-for-your-poco-f5.4589783/ but with AndyYan's [GSI][13] LineageOS 20 TrebleDroid-based https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-trebledroid-based.4517345/ i.e. fastboot flashing LineageOS20 GSI
The light version of LineageOS GSI 20 works for EVERYTHING out of the box https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-light.4509315/ so this is now the recommended one.
The image I use is bvNof LineageOS 20 GSI TD version please use Light version as it works better. Personally I don't use GAPP and safety net so don't ask me about them.
Steps for flashing GSI rom with fastboot:
Already done section B (Unlock bootloader/wait for 1 week)
1) Download GSI image you need (vN of LineageOS 20 GSI Light for my case) and extract it (xz -d XXX.xz)
2) Turn off the phone, then press volume down and power button to boot into fastboot mode (or any other method to boot into fastboot like with adb command)
3) Disable verification with a vbmeta.img file, or flash an empty one with "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" will work also,
4) reboot to fastboot again
5) Flash the rom with
I didn't need to delete anything to get more space for the rom, guess it is related to rom size. It auto resized the existing partitions. If you fail to flash directly you may consider delete something first with command like "fastboot delete-logical-partition [something]"
P.S. I did not have enough spaces after multiple flashing, so yes you may delete something like "fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a"
[OPTIONAL] In theory if you need GAPP / microG and your rom does not include them, you should flash them now
P.S. Tested it worked to use the wipe in recovery directly as using command may prompt error, at the end you will still need to use the one in recovery
6) Reboot to recovery
7) Select wipe data here
8) Select reboot to system in recovery tools and you will boot into the rom you flashed
If you need to update the rom to a newer version manually you skip the data wiping part, that is :
1) Download GSI image you need (vN of LineageOS 20 GSI Light for my case) and extract it (xz -d XXX.xz)
2) Turn off the phone, then press volume down and power button to boot into fastboot mode (wordings looks orange)
3) reboot to fastboot again (wordings will turn blue)
4) Flash the rom with
5)
For LineageOS 20 GSI Light version WIFI, Phone calls (including microphone) SMS and mobile data works out of the box, however bluetooth cannot find my Redmi Buds 4 Pro so but my old bluetooth speaker works (earbud is with with newer version of bluetooth 5.3 LE) need to change bluetooth scanning setting to use.
For LineageOS 20 GSI TD version (2023-05 version) on POCO F5 WIFI, SIM mobile data and receiving SMS work out of the box (of course some LineageOS "features" are still there, like SIM card with mobile data should always be in slot one, if you have no mobile data after inserting the card restart the phone and it will work). Nearly forgot to mention the screen sizing of both LineageOS 20 GSI TD and Light works out of the box unlike Pixel Experience plus GSI mentioned in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...experience-plus-gsi-for-your-poco-f5.4589783/ Perhaps we may create a list of GSI on POCO F5 to know what features are working.
LineageOS 20 GSI TD version (2023-05 version):
WIFI: working
Mobile data: working
Speaker: working
Microphone: not working (the permission controller shows the apps have accessed to it but no sound)
Phone calls: no sound
SMS: can send and received SMS
Bluetooth: tested with earbud (bluetooth 5.3) can paired but no sound
Auto-rotate: Works
LineageOS 20 GSI Light version (2023-08-14 version):
WIFI: working
Mobile data: working (2023-08-14 versoin I have no 5G plan so I don't know about 5G, but it seems that currently I can only use 3G even my data plan is 4G ?LTE setting is not working correctly, might be ISP related instead of ROM issue Solved, can be fixed with "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth" option in settings, some sort of bug I guess)
Speaker: working
Microphone: working
Phone calls: working
SMS: can send and received SMS
Bluetooth: works (for new bluetooth items need to enable bluetooth scanning setting, if not then only older bluetooth items can be scanned)
Auto-rotate:failed(default disabled at home screen)Works(need to enable in setting to make rotation works in home screen)
Split-screen: works
Camera: working (need to enable in setting)
Guess I still need to wait for official custom rom for all functions.
Guess I will use LineageOS 20 GSI Light version now
Hope it helps.

Hi guys,
actually i had using the EU rom, but facing difficulty with the banking apps, cuz it said rooted. so i have no choice and don't want to be fussy and go back to china rom, til then suddenly i needed the google maps history location, and found out need to rooted to use magisk to make it happen again.
so i came to find a solution again, seems like no choices still need to root and go for god sake of china rom and rules by the country.
so may i know again.
poco f5 global rom can use on red mi 12 turbo ?? if root to go global rom (meaning i cant lock bootloot on poco rom right?) and my banking apps still going to be problem again?

Hi, i have problem, mi flash dont see phone in fastboot mode, i have usb drivers and adb, any advice how to make miflsh see phone?
I’ll assume that in your device you have checked "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" as per point A.4. in post #1 of this AiO. If yes, then check if your computer recognises your device at all. How to do this? Go to the folder where you have put the "ADB and Fastboot" and open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right Click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here". Now connect your device (in fastboot mode) to your computer and please try to use the original cable if possible (it helps). Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot devices<<. If you don't see your device it means that the drivers weren't installed properly or the device wasn't connected properly. If you see your device, then you can clean install directly (no mi flash tool needed) the new fastboot rom as per point H. in post #1 of this of this AiO.

Thanks for response, i have checked oem unlocking and usb debugging. So the problem is in drivers
nvm saw my error was downloading the original one isntead of the patched one to the computer

Some limited number of Note 12 Turbo users (depending on the country/carrier) are facing the same problems with network signal when flashing "miui global" or "xiaomi.eu" roms. This problem seems to be caused by the modem. I hope Xiaomi will soon remove this problem in one of the future updates of Note 12 Turbo.

11For fastboot, download the platform tools from google. Open cmd and use "cd path" , replace path with your windows explorer path to the platform tools folder. For example "cd C:\Users\username\Downloads\platform-tools_r34.0.4-windows".
That way the command prompt will be able to run commands like:
fastboot devices, fastboot boot recovery.img ,etc.
For Flashing recovery, copy the img inside the platform tools folder, for it to work.
For the mi driver, connect your phone while it is powered on normally, not fastboot. Download the official mi unlock zip file. Unzip it and open MiUsbDriver.exe. It will install the needed drivers.

1. Waiting time to unlock the bootloader
Q. If I receive the message: "unlocking can be done after 72h or 168h or 360h etc.". Is there a way to skip this waiting time?
A: Unfortunately you have to wait for that time to pass. There’s no way around it (that I know of). It seems like new and never used (to unlock bootloader) accounts receive a shorter waiting time.
2. Unlock procedure stops at 99%
Q: If my unlock procedure stops at 99%, what could be the problem?
A: Most problay you're using two different Xiaomi accounts. You have to use the same account that you have added into the device also in the unlock tool otherwise it will not work.
3. Recommended ad-blocker (for rooted devices)
Q: I want to block the advertisement in all apps, what app can you recommend?
A: If you decide to root your device, then you can install AdAway from here: https://adaway.org/. In order for AdAway to work properly please add in the Magisk App the Systemless Hosts (Magisk/Settings/Systemless Hosts).
4. Retaining the root after ROM update
Q: If I root my device as per point C, E of the AiO and I install a system update in my device, is the root still available?
A: Unfortunately root will be removed after the system update. So you have to repeat the procedure in point C, E.1
0. Please don't quote the entire Post no 1 because this thread becomes too long.
1. I'd recommend to go to Xiaomi.eu, first page, they explained very well the differences between MIUI and Xiaomi.eu.
2. Without unlocked bootloader you can't make any system modifications. That's why i started the thread with "unlock the bootloader" (Point B). Ok, i updated Point C.1Hello, I have a bit of a problem. I did as here View attachment 5912923
View attachment 5912919
And I can't move on. Please help
I installed the drivers. I enabled fastboot on my phone and I can't click this UNLOCK button
Answer to your update:
You have to use the same account that you have added into the device also in the unlock tool otherwise it will not work.1
u can try factory resetting the phone and trying again.
NOTE :- You need to turn off wifi and have a sim with data enabled. (I will suggest you create a new account and use your moblie number as login NOT email). If it still doesn't work maybe contact Xiaomi .
