      All Pocophone F1/Poco F1 users can now install MIUI 12 as official Fastboot & Recovery ROMs go live (Download links inside)

      NOTICE: We’ve created an archive of all major developments related to the Poco F1 smartphone and MIUI 12. We are continuously updating that page with the latest Pocophone F1 news so that you don’t need to search for information related to the device on a daily basis. Head here to access that page.

      Pocophone F1 (Poco F1 for Indian users) was launched back in 2018 and spotted flagship specs for about a third of comparably spec’d devices.

      Needless to say, the device caused quite the stir and remains rather popular even in 2020. It launched with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box but has since been updated to Android 10.

      The Pocophone F1 has had quite the journey to MIUI 12. Delays, recalled updates, countless bugs, name it! Pocophone F1 users have been subjected to it all. We have a detailed post that covers all these twists and turns.

      Luckily, we’ve recently seen the release of MIUI V12.0.2 for the Pocophone F1, a re-release over the initial rollout that proved too buggy.

      But even with the new build, the rollout has been slow and countless users (1,2,3,4) have reported not receiving the MIUI 12 update on their Pocophone F1.

      There were talks that the re-released build of MIUI 12 might have been buggy as well, hence the delay in rolling out the Fastboot ROM. More on that here.

      Well, it seems as though the new build V12.0.2 is satisfactory enough as Xiaomi has today, released the Fastboot and Recovery builds of MIUI 12 for the Pocophone F1/Poco F1 to the public.

      Along with that, it appears as though users who hadn’t received the update are finally getting the OTA notifications (1,2,3,4).

      This is really good news to the countless users of the Pocophone F1 and Poco F1 who have been waiting for this update for many months.

      If you haven’t received the OTA update notification on your device, here are the download links should you want to manually install this release on your device.

      Even after this release, there are still a few issues that users have been reporting on the MIUI 12.0.2 for Poco F1.

      We have a detailed tracker for these bugs and you can check that out here. We can only hope that these issues get addressed promptly.

      It is also worth noting that as the Pocophone F1 continues to age, the update frequency is expected to decrease. What this means for the bugs reported remains to be seen.

      Should you want to have a different software experience on your Pocophone F1 and aren’t afraid to tinker with your device, Android 11 is already available for you, courtesy of the developer community.
