Hi , here's how i managed to start edl on my bricked Poco X3
- The true points are hidden by the usb map , and NOT at the place mentionned in many "putaclic" web pages.
- This place make it really harder to connect than in other know devices.
- Here is my solution :

01 remove cover ..

now remove green screws on the top+orange screw in order to remove plastic cover and access mother board.
02 unplug power map (in red) + usb map (in green)

03 now you see test points (in green) and fakes ones (in red)

04 make a tool using aluminium or coper paper and adhesive

05 place the tool in order to contact points like this :

06 reconnect usb map

you will have to press with your favorite nail to get edl start

Thx and Credits:
@mahajant99 (XDA and telegram) for found the points
Myself for the tool and method without remove mother board

Wow this is some scary **** when you bricked your phone. Hope i wont be included with the unlucky ones. How do we prevent from getting hard bricked. Any tips?
For my personal tips, I would avoid flashing custom ROMs and stick with the stock one until at least a stable version of recovery and ROM had been released. I had 4 devices prior to this present Poco X3 and none of them I had hard bricked. Only bootloops.

Not yet, while there are official roms (could be stable). Recovery is a disaster, many bugs and flaw because all of them are still at Alpha version. So i think you gotta wait for another month
