POCO X3 NFC (surya) fimware version

Eric H · 5 Apr 2023, 18:30

Hello,

I would like to install Ubuntu Touch on my POCO X3 NFC (surya).
But in the documentation, there is a preparatory step:

Make sure to have MIUI Build V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM installed
Download Here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/surya/stable/V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM/

But my phone is an EU region one. And the V12.0.9.0.QJGEUXM does not exist at https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/surya/

What is the best option ?

Trying to install Ubuntu Touch with the current firmware: 12.0.8.0(QJGEUXM) ?
or is it possible to updating, first, to a global region firmware (V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM) ?

Thanks

@eheintzmannIf you do not get a quickish answer here I would contact the porter of the device using the wrong build could end up with a brick.

As suggested on the «Ubuntu Touch for POCO X3 NFC» chat room, I flashed the Global V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM ROM.
The device has not been bricked, and I was able to install Ubuntu Touch successfully.

Thanks

Hi.

I also want to flash my eu version of my POCO X3 NFC. I'm already on 13.0.4

I see you can download the recovery version or the fastboot. Which one did you take?

How dit you flash the image? With the xiaomi tool? Or with TWRP method?

Hi,

I downloaded the fastboot version at https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/surya/stable/V12.0.9.0.QJGMIXM
I flashed the image with Xiaomi Flash Tool (https://xiaomiflashtool.com). Be careful, by default this tool re-lock the device.

I Tried but I got strange errors. After also running the unlock bootloader tool, I got there that I needed to wait 168 hours to verfiy the xiaomi account for developers.

I just wait 8 days and then run again the tool , hoping it will work

@kroonen
Yes, I've got the same delay of 168 hours, at the first time I tried to unlock my phone.
Second time, I had first enabled the developer mode, and I had linked my device with my Xiaomi account.
Only after these actions, I've been able to unlock with Xiaomi Flash Tool.
