Install Android 13 Custom ROMs on Poco F1
The below process will wipe off all the data from your device, so take a complete device backup beforehand. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Download Android 13 Custom ROMs
First off, grab hold of the desired Android 13 custom ROM for your Xiaomi Mi 9 from below. Once downloaded, rename the ROM file to rom.zip and recovery [if present] to recovery.img so as to maintain uniformity in the commands and also so that it becomes easier to type in the CMD window. Likewise, make sure to transfer both the rom.zip and recovery.img to the platform-tools folder on your PC.
NOTE: When it comes to recovery, you could use this TWRP by REIGNZ which is able to decrypt the encrypted ROMs, in case the custom recovery provided by the ROM doesn’t work. However, in case you still have any encryption issues, then flash this Disable DM Verity Force Encrypt.zip file.
LineageOS
crDroid
PixelOS
AwakenOS
Project Elixir
STEP 2: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 3: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
Next up, you will also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking on your device. The former will make your device recognizable by the PC in ADB mode. This will then allow you to boot your device to Fastboot Mode. On the other hand, OEM Unlocking is required to carry out the bootloader unlocking process.
So head over to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
