The following guide will explain how to install the MIUI Verse ROM on the Poco F4. There was no surprise that the fourth-generation Poco was blessed with a plethora of custom ROMs, but it was inevitable. Poco devices are known to be among the most active players in custom development, so it was only a matter of time before this device made its mark.
However, most of the custom ROMs that this device currently has in its arsenal are AOSP-based, which is exactly what some users were looking for- a stock OS experience. However, there are still a few users out there who wish to stay in the MIUI ecosystem. Installing the MIUI Verse ROM on your Poco F4 might be the best choice for you if you fall into this category. So without further ado, let me demonstrate how this could be achieved.
Preparation:
It is highly recommended that you take a complete backup of your device before proceeding with the below process. We won’t be held responsible if a thermonuclear war occurs, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device or data by following these steps.
1: Install Android SDK
The first thing you need to do is install the Android SDK Platform Tools. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary from Google, and it’s the only one we recommend. Basically, download it and extract it somewhere convenient on your PC. The platform tools folder will be created, which will be used throughout this guide to install MIUI Sr on Poco F4.
2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
On your device, you’ll also have to enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking. You can use the former to make your device recognizable by your PC in ADB mode. You’ll be able to boot your device into Fastboot Mode from there. Alternatively, OEM unlocking is required for bootloader unlocking.
- Now go to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.
3: Unlock Bootloader on Poco F4
Upon the device’s bootloader having been unlocked, you will then be able to access the device’s settings. It is important to keep in mind that doing so will wipe your device of all its data, and you may lose your device’s warranty if you do so. In case that is fine with you, then please refer to our detailed guide on How to Unlock Bootloader on Any Xiaomi Device if you want to find out more.
4: Install TWRP Recovery on Poco F4
The first thing you will need to do is to install the TWRP recovery on your Poco F4 so as to be able to flash MIUI Sr ROM. For more information on how to do that, please visit our guide on How to Install TWRP Recovery on Poco F4.
