Heard you can use twrp to flash different ROMs that are out there for the Poco x4 pro. Can someone send me the link to it or let me know how to do it on orange fox??

For help :(
You're overcomplicating things by linking so many links. Work out what your device name is then if you want to flash MIUI EU rom, follow my guide that is explained fully on the first page. Obviously if your device name is different than mine, download the correct file and flash using fastboot by following the instructions. If you want to flash an alternative rom (such as an AOSP, pixel or lineageOS) then different rules apply. Find a suitable recovery and flash it using bootloader, then use the recovery to flash your rom and other required files.

Hey everyone, I also have the 2201116SG model. I now I have to use the VEUXG.

Is the ROM mentioned above
xiaomi.eu_multi_VEUXG_V13.0.9.0.SKCMIXM_v13-12.zip
ok ? and does it have Call Recording?

Thanks for a reply.
I am using it and I can say that it's alright. However I have noticed that when I go out to sun the device gets kinda hot and throttles a bit (wasn't present in Stock ROM). Maybe somebody can confirm if this is a general issue or me issue. Yes it has Call Recording.

I've had no heating issues on my phone but I'm a general user and don't game etc.

You've posted about this in multiple pages, install another SMS app and use it, if it works then you know it's a textra issue.

Well I also don't game. It happens when browsing the internet or while using normal apps like Instagram and Twitter
No heating issues here while watching YouTube or browsing meme websites etc but I don't use social media apps so can't compare their usage. Perhaps a clean flash might help? Latest ROM dirty flashed has been the smoothest I've ever experienced this phone to be honest

    Hi all, thought I would post a simple guide for people who are wanting to get some customisation on their ROMs and install root.
    First off - as of this post there's no working twrp/orangefox for this device and as far as I'm aware android 12 itself still has lots of recovery quirks.

    So without further ado, we will be using the fastboot method to install MIUI 13 EU stable.

    First things first - we need to unlock our bootloader...

    Log into your Mi Account using your phone with a data connection (disable WiFi)

    - Enable Developer Settings -> Enable USB Debugging
    - Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings
    - Add device in Mi Unlock status in Developer Settings.

    You now need to wait 168 hours before the unlock tool will work....
    Now use your device as normal (yes you can use WiFi) but make sure you actually use it for things like calling, texts, GPS and some data usage. I say this because some users report that the timer has not expired even though technically 168 hours had passed.

    Right - still with me? Let's continue the guide. Next step before we unlock our bootloader is to backup our data.

    I repeat

    BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE DEVICE BECAUSE IT WILL BE WIPED ENTIRELY. That means your photos, music, everything. This will delete everything. You have been warned.

    Download the tool here


    And follow the on-screen prompts and eventually your phone will reboot.
    I usually let it completely boot (may take 10 minutes) until it enters the MIUI welcome screen etc just to verify the device is still functioning as expected.

    Next phase has two options:
    Option one, install MIUI EU ROM and root
    Option two install root only.

    If you only want to root your stock MIUI then skip to option two down below.

    Option one, install MIUI EU ROM and root:
    First off, we will need ADB installed. I used the version linked below
    I put the folder in C:/ADB
    4
    Got the right one? Sweet, we're ready to flash MIUI EU.
    with your rom extracted into a folder (I put mine inside the adb folder) right click the bat file you wish to use - FORMAT or UPDATE, choose "copy path", insert in command line/cmd window then press enter. Follow on screen directions.

    Wait for it all to complete now you're good to go, it will reboot and you're successfully running MIUI EU! Now read below if you want to root your device too

    Root
    I'm guessing you've already booted up your phone running MIUI EU by now, set up the basics until you get it to the home screen.

    Download magisk and install it onto your phone.

    Now we need to patch our boot.img and lucky for us the boot.img is located inside the MIUI ROM you downloaded earlier on your PC - nice!
    Extract the boot.img and place this onto your phone via USB or SD card.
    Unfortunately for those running a stock ROM, you will need to locate your stock ROM files boot.img.

    Open magisk, tap install then the option to patch the boot.img (you'll see how to do this once you open the app)

    At this stage I removed any of the other MIUI files/folders from my ADB folder to avoid any confusion. transfer the patched boot.img into your ADB folder on your PC and rename it to boot.img

    Turn your phone off and boot into fastboot mode again Open CMD again
    Type "cd c:\adb" press enter.
    "Fastboot devices" press enter.
    (Make sure you see the numbers/letters that show your device is detected etc)
    Now type
    "fastboot flash boot boot.img"" press enter and wait for the process to complete.

    Congratulations you now have a nice fluid ROM without loads of bloat and root ready to install some goodies 😎

    Download fastboot image/rom for your phone.

    MAKE SURE YOU PICK THE CORRECT FILE FOR YOUR PHONE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DEVICES CODENAME IS, DO NOT PROCEED ANY FURTHER OTHERWISE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE.

    In MY case, my phone is the one listed in this forum, a Poco x4 pro 5g. So I downloaded the file for a Poco x4 pro 5g codenamed veux
    From here. EDIT: The file names have since been updated due to this phone having multiple varients so be sure to check which device/files you need - the correct file for a Poco x4 pro 5g is now "VEUXG"


    Extract the fastboot image/rom into this folder c:\ADB (or where you installed your ADB folder)
    Open "cmd.exe" on your PC
    Change to directory were you have installed adb & fastboot/ROM file locations
    Type (ALL commands here are without the quotation marks, for example the next few words would be: cd c:\adb) "cd c:\adb" press enter
    This will set ADB to our target folder that you moved your fastboot ROM into.
    Connect your phone to the pc and reboot phone. Then by holding "Volume -" and "Power on" buttons simultaneously after approx 10 seconds or so you should see "fastboot" on the phone.

    Now in the CMD window, type "fastboot devices" and hit enter.
    You should see a number (sometimes with characters) appear alongside the word fastboot which signals that you're connected correctly.
    if you dont see a number:
    change USB port / change USB cable / use USB 2.0 / check driver installation...

    Once you have fastboot detecting your device, DOUBLE CHECK YOU HAVE THE CORRECT INSTALLATION FILE FOR YOUR DEVICE.

    For those of you who haven't tried a MIUI EU ROM I suggest you have a Google to see what additional features it offers over stock. I prefer it over any aosp/custom ROM due to the stability, customization and the fact it's stripped of all MIUI bloatware

    Many thanks OP, excellent instructions, very easy to follow :) The ROM works great BTW.
    About root, how would I go with reverting to stock if I need to? Do I just remove magisk and flash the original non-modded boot.img?

    Alright, thanks!

    Anyone else with google's phone app force closing? Also contacts app seems broken. Cleaning data don't seem to help.
    You're welcome 😎 I use the miui dialer/phone because it has automatic call recording and I've used miui contacts too since it fits my theme haha so I'm not too sure what the go is there sorry. To remove root, you can dirty flash whatever ROM you currently have installed (without wiping) and that'll also remove root
