Poco F1 in a dead end after hours of trial and errors. - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

As tittle says, I have been in XDA for a while, never created an account cause I have always encountered responses to all my problems there. But not this time. I have created an account just to ask you people if someone knows (or had) this problem.
I have been getting touchscreen problems since a while (I dont know if it was caused by a custom kernel I changed months ago, or by touchscreen needing a replacement). Then the problem with WebView happend, but after trying to fix it by OTA, reinstalling WebView, clearing cache of google apps and few other things, apps kept closing randomly, and with the touchscreen failing, it was a real pain, so I downloaded a few roms and saved all my data, then went to TWRP. I updated it to 3.5.2_10-0-beryllium before anything, and flashed vendor, firmware and ROM GLOBAL_V12.0.3.0.QEJMIXM_cf3fccffce_10.0. Here begins the brick. I cannot pass the first boot, in any of the roms I tried. In MIUI, the logo of starting stay indefinitly (not the poco one, the MIUI one). I tried pa-quartz-5-beryllium-20200924, also stays infinitly in the green ball logo moving. After that, I tried lineage-18.1-20210410-nightly-beryllium-signed, with the same result, Infinite starting moving blue logo (more than 8h and still didnt boot). I tried clean installs and dirty installs. The worst part is that my PC only recognizes my F1 on recovery, Fastboot don't seems to be working (I was going to try flashing via fastboot). And here I am, after 6h of trying different installs, flashing the Disable Force Encryptation, flashing stock firmware and stock rom, stock firmware and custom roms, flashing vendor, not flashing vendor, etc... Im sick.
Thanks in advance to anyone who try to help me.
EDIT: I missed that i was having random reboots too, not only touchscreen fails.

Check my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. Try to Clean Install Pixel Experience for example, according my guide (u need to format data also). Let me know how it goes.

Tried Android 10 and 11 Pixel Experience, tried with stock and NG Kernels. Still stays forever in the first load of the SO.

Just got the properties file from XiaomiADBFastbootTools. Maybe someone can see something wrong on it.

[Q] Wifi + Custom Rom problem

Hi!
I'm having some troubles with my DX since one week, tried a lot of manipulation and nothing is working... So I am asking you if you have any idea?
The first problem I had was the wifi that didn't "lock", it switched itself all the time from ON to OFF and opposite. The rom installed was ELEGANCIA and the recovery was TWRP. I thought it was a problem with the Rom. To try solving the problem, and because I'm curious, I installed Sense Revolution R5 and with this came my second problem...
It couldn't boot anymore, I think I did it right, not the first time I do that but we never know. And since then I'm unable to install custom Roms. The only thing that works fine is installing stock recovery, re-locking the phone and reverting back to stock using RUU, doing that the phone boots normally as when he got out of the box. But with custom Roms the phone doesn't want to boot... Where could this problem come from?
And for the wifi there is no change, it is still giving me the same bug... or sometimes I have the "activation" message without anything happening or an "error" message...
I tried disassembling the phone, as it was really dusty in it, I thought it was the problem but nope...
Thanks (sorry for my english mistakes)
Some news: unlocking, rooting and flashing custom recovery work fine.
But I tried flashing a custom kernel, and again it doesn't want to boot...
Nobody has any idea of what else I could attempt?
perhaps you aren't flashing the boot.img first?
thanks for your interest! i've just tried that once more, but nothing changes...
I have noticed though that it won't boot every time I do a system wipe. Wiping cache gives no problem, haven't tried wiping Dalvik Cache yet, and "Factory Reset" gives me a "Failed" message.
(All this using TWRP, who once worked perfectly on my phone)
EDIT: I've juste tried wiping Dalvik Cache and it doesn't give any problem... So maybe is the problem coming from the wiping of the system?
No suggestion? still having those problems... :/

[Q] Camera Black Screen | Cyanogenmod 11 | Full wipe

Hi,
I do not have enough posts to post in the cyanogenmod nightlies thread to get a definitive answer, hence why this subforum. I guess my question may be rom independent anyway.
I 'upgraded' from an M release of cyanogenmod to a nightly and buggered my phone. I was forced to flash the stock firmware and then reflash the nightly to fix everything. Except my camera shows a black screen (behind the onscreen focus and options) and force closes nearly all the time. I thought it was just the nightly, but 2 months and 20+ new nightlies later, I still have the issue. In the nightles dev thread, people say the camera is fine. I know the hardware is fine, because 1 in 40 tries the camera randomly works.
I tried a factory wipe, which I now know just wipes user data. So In CWM, under 'mounts and storage' I formatted everything I could and did another factory reset, cache etc. No fix.
I guess this issue is with the rom itself, if the camera is force closing? So I'll have to use Odin or such to flash a stock rom again and flash another cyanogenmod version? But I want to check this is correct before continuing, and how I can completely wipe any trace of the current rom before flashing the stock and another nightly - so I don't get this issue again.
Thanks
So I finally found the issue, after battling with heimdall on ubuntu 14.04 for hours. Its a hardware problem.
I'm just going to leave my experience here in case someone else has the same issue, since anything to do with all the issue I am about to describe don't seem to be documented anywhere on the web clearly.
Firstly, I battled with heimdall 1.3.2 to recognise my phone on ubuntu. I kept getting;
Code:
ERROR: Failed to receive response!
After a number of threads talking about installing usblibx drivers I found one about which libs to install from terminal;
Code:
sudo apt-get install libXXXX
Code:
libusb-ocaml
libdevice-usb-perl
libhpmud0 (not sure if it's essential)
libusb-0.1-4
libusb-1.0-0
libusb-1.0-0-dev
libusb-dev
libusbprog-dev
libusb++-0.1-4c2
libusb++-dev
libusbtc08-1
libusbmuxd-dev
libusbprog0
libusbmuxd1
I installed all but couldn't find libusbmuxd1, restarted anyway, to the same error. I purged heimdall 1.3.2 and instead installed it from the Ubuntu software centre, which using
Code:
sudo apt-cache policy heimdall
showed that I had version 1.4 installed. Then I managed to find
Code:
libusbx-1.0.14_1.0.14-1_amd64.deb
floating somewhere on the internet, which finally installed the proper libusb stuff and allowed heimdall to continue without the error message.
I made a .pit file from my phone. I recommend this first. After hours searching for a stock rom (samsung has removed most of its firmware downloads? and asked links to be removed on other sites!?) came across this site
(I can't post links as a new user) - google [TUTORIAL] Flashing i9000, i9100 or i9300 with Heimdall
Which explains how to flash using heimdall. After a successful flash, my phone didn't get farther than the boot animation. I booted into stock recovery with vol up-home-power to factory reset, but noticed a dead droid and red writting. Rather than continue, I wanted to fix this, so I followed the tutorial again, but this time checked repartition under the pit path, and hoped for the best. The phone stalled at the boot anim again, but this time in recovery, all was good.
I did a data wipe / factory reset, cache wipe etc, but nothing. So I stuck the stock rom zip onto the micro sd and installed it from recovery, factory reset, and rebooted. (which is odd, having to install the rom from recovery - because doesn't that kinda defeat the point of using the same image on heimdall in the first place?!?)
The phone booted! So after all that, (Having data/factory reset, wiped the cache, (wiped the dalvik cache when i had CWM before and formatted all I could in mounts and storage) flashed the stock ROM AND repartitioned the phone) i thought that would eliminate any software issues. I thought the camera would work.
Nope.
As usual, the front camera worked, but the back, now, after a pause would give the samsung error:
Code:
unknown error by errorcallback
Now, after googling this (Cyanogenmod gave a different error with no related answers on google) and being annoyed at my time lost, I took the tongue and cheek advice from some random forum commenter, to tap the camera hard.
It worked.
Apparently, the entire time the camera was suffering from a hardware issue. Something about a 'sticky shutter'. Anyways, i'm going to leave the stock ROM and take it into a shop to get it fixed. Just leaving this trail of breadcrumbs in the hope it helps someone else.
Perhaps this could be marked as 'solved'.
Same problem
FINALLY; first time I see the problem I have (I'm not feeling good about you having the problem, btw). I've had this problem for a lot of time and I haven't had found it elsewhere.
I have the same issue, but without the error that says "unknown error by errorcallback". Mine just says "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working". I didn't really understand if it had appeared to you after you did all that, or if it was from the beginning... anyways, just "tapping hard" the camera will make it work? And, did it fix it permanently?
Sorry for any typo.
Edit: I've "tapped" the camera really hard, and no signs of anything. Any advice? (I've done practically everything you have done but flashing the stock rom)

Try flashing stock rom and see if this fixes your problem.

It fixed it, but then I flashed back the AICP ROM, which is KK, and it malfunctioned again. I'm going to try with a JB Custom ROM.
Update: I flashed a JB Custom Rom (Fusion Rom) and it's working good so far.

[Xperia P] Phone crashes shortly after successful boot - independent from ROM!?

Hi,
I have quite a serious problem with my phone.
I used stable CM11 as my ROM lately, worked nice, seemed to be ok. Now, if I want to boot my phone, it suddenly crashes as soon as I want to enter unlock code. "Funny" thing is, performing a full backup via TWRP didn't help.
So I decided to wipe everything (even sdcard) and do everything from scratch, including flashing boot.img. After flashing the ROM zip, it's still the same.
After that, I flashed boot.img from AOSP 5.1 Unstable, installed this new, different ROM (which I had successfully tested on my device before) and STILL THE SAME?!
What's going on here? It sounds a bit like defective hardware, but I never experienced a crash when I was in Recovery mode, so that's quite unplausible.
My last idea is to flash stock ftf. Perhaps this will help...

nothing working :(

well after somehow breaking the miui stock cam when enabling the camera2apk, and being unable to fix it by replacing build.prop, i decided to restore the backup i made in twrp earlier.
restored backup: sticks at MI logo.
tried several times, cleared caches, wiped etc etc.. will not boot after restore.
so i downloaded the stock global rom, and flashed it in twrp: sticks at MI logo. will not boot
downloaded Ressurection Remix rom, flashed that.. works fine. but i want stock or as near as possible for now.
downloaded developer miui rom, flashed that in twrp: stuck at MI logo. will not boot.
tried stock stable rom again... same story, will not boot.
downloaded Miflash, and recommended TGZ archive of ROM. followed instructions and extracted to a folder and browsed to folder with Miflash. hit "refresh"
get error "length cannot be less than zero"
tried using the "mi recovery" method (renaming rom to "update.zip" and power/vol_up)
but for whatever reason, there is no "install update" option even present.
as you can see im having a very frustrating evening. i only wanted to enable the damn google camera.
flash it by edl mode
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
is there a decent guide for that anywhere? from what ive seen it still requires miflash to be working? which it, frankly, just isnt. but then, nothing is! dont think ive ever had an evening where so many things which are supposed to work all give problems together.
i mean, i could understand if the custom rom was problematic, but its the only thing that *did* work.
404 Not found
well i managed to get a stock rom installed by downloading an older version of miflash... that didnt give any errors and installed the global rom fine.
i would love to know what could be causing all my problems though. seems everthing ive tried should work.
the one that is bugging me more than anything now is that whenever i enable the camera2api, the miui stock camera stops working ( crash on hdr, panorarama mode) and stays broken even if i remove mod.
this should not happen it seems, since there are guides for enabling this and adding the pro features to the camera from higher models.
nobody seems to have an opinion on it, which is very strange considering the number of people who must have done the camera2 mod...

I dropped miui long ago, so it is difficult to comment. However, the problem would probably be found in the settings (and/or the drivers in the system). Reinstalling a stock system image and wiping /data (and formatting it, if necessary) should solve the problem. This is, of course, a drastic step - but I would be very surprised if the problem persisted after such a step.
you have to flash lazy flasher after every MIUI stock rom flashing to be able to boot the rom...
google it "lazy flasher'

Find My Device broken forever in MIUI 10.3.4 _ HELP!

The last weeks I had my fair share of geek awesomeness with my shiny brand new POCO F1 and, in my own right, installed many (a dozen) custom-roms and another bunch of vendor and firmware versions, all of them specifically for the Poco F1.
I was using Havoc OS 2.5 and did an OTA update to version 2.6. Everything normal, ok, but I decided to get back to MIUI because two camera related APPs didn't work well with any of the custom roms I've installed and "ok, I'll get back to MIUI, is not bad afterall and the screenrecorder is WAY better than any of the others I tried".
Recovery, wipe, format, flashed MIUI 10.3.4 no problems or error messages like always, reboot, recovery, magisk, reboot, let the system do its stuff, Miui account, google account, the whole thing is ok, play store recovering my cloud backup, ok. Everything works really ok until the first reboot. After the reboot the "Find my device" halts repeteadly, running the system inoperable. "Find my device has crashed and bla bla bla" forever. As long as i use the system first boot, is ok, but eventually, I need to reboot and after that, "find my device has crashed". I've got back to Havoc OS 2.6 and is, like always, running like a charm.
I've tried to get back to MIUI 10.2.2 (whice came pre-installed) to try an OTA update to 10.3.4, but in 10.2.2 also the find my device crashes every time.
What kind of sorcery is happening here? Any thoughts?

Worked like a charm. Downloaded MIUI 10.2.3 fastboot rom and flashed using Xiaomi Adb/Fastboot Tools. And then updated to MIUI 10.3.4 via system updater.
Thanks for the heads up. It was really helpful.

Mi Flasher don't work allright in my computer, since I only have USB 3.0 on my windows device and it seems MI Flasher doesn't work with USB 3.0
I'm using, usually command line abd and fastboot on windows. Today I've downloaded Xiaomi ADb/Fastboot Tolls and it was very useful.
I can't post links yet since I'm new on the forum. But search for Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools GitHub. it is powerful.

Why just not just freeze the app/ service ? That's what I did.

Because the service was broken. Yes, maybe I could adb and freeze the service, but the service would still be broken, probably due to many different firmware/vendor versions installed on the last couple weeks.
The fastboot rom is more comprehensive in terms of background images (cust/dsp/persist) and flashing it totally nailed the error.

Yeah. I know that flashing a fastboot ROM is the best way to repair corrupt partitions but it also resets the phone and I'm too lazy to restore everything back. Lol.
