Call me old school all you like, but I still believe an index thread is the quickest way to get the help you need in the massive throng that is XDA-Devs.

Thus, I made it my job to set one up and maintain it (cf. examples: Redmi 8, Nubia Z7); and please feel free to contribute -- the more, the merrier.

DISCLAIMER: all credit goes to the posters; I own nothing and claim nothing (apart where otherwise stated); as usual, your device warranty is void merely by peeping beyond this point, so close your browser and run away if that's not what you intended...

Also please pay attention to the following:

Poco X3 NFC aka surya model number is M2007J20CG. On the other hand, the Indian variant AKA karna model number is correctly M2007J20CI.

The recorder app doesn't work Stock ROM. At least for me and another xda user, we tried a lot of different versions, none seemed to work

Hi friends. Two questions, do you have a tutorial to install magisk or could I use any tutorial as Magisk installation is common to all devices?
And, is there any proof that Poco X3 has antirollback enabled in stock MIUI?
As I always root my phone and install TWRP I cannot upgrade via OTA. I always upgrade via TWRP using the zip file downloaded from official server.
In my scenario, do I need to be preocuppied about antirollback? or only when I intend to downgrade?
Thanks for the kind explanation!

Where can I download the official MiFlash tool? There seems to be several websites offering MiFlash tools but I can't tell if they are the official one. Thanks!

You can install magisk 21.0 like usual. If want downgrade, recommend downgrade Miui version only. Not recommend downgrade Android version.
