Preparation:
It is highly recommended that you take a complete backup of your device before proceeding with the below process. In case of a thermonuclear war, a missed alarm, or any damage to your device and data, AMS and its members are not responsible.
1: Install Android SDK
To begin with, you will need to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. The only recommended ADB and Fastboot binary is the one provided by Google. Therefore, go ahead and download it and extract it to any convenient location on your computer. By doing so, you will get the platform tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide to install RiceDroid on Poco F4.
2: Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking
The next step is to enable USB Debugging on your device, and then OEM Unlocking. As a result, the PC will be able to recognize your device in ADB mode if you use the former. You will then be able to boot your device into Fastboot Mode. Alternatively, OEM Unlocking is necessary to unlock the bootloader.
You can enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking by going to Settings > About Phone > Tap on Build Number 7 times > Go back to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer Options.
3: Unlock Bootloader on Poco F4
Afterwards, you’ll have to unlock the bootloader of the device. Remember that doing so could result in wiping off all the data from your device and nullifying its warranty. As long as you’ve done that, please refer to this detailed guide on How to Unlock Bootloaders on Xiaomi Devices.
