How To Install TWRP Custom Recovery on the Pocophone F1
Note: According to the developers, TWRP only works on Pocophone devices that are using Full Disk Encryption (FDE). This recovery will not work if the phone is using File Based Encryption (FBE). Furthermore, this phone uses dm-verity which means it won’t let your phone boot if you have modified the system files. To prevent this you need to install a kernel which has dm-verity disabled. If you are not careful, you can brick your phone. Please proceed at your own risk.
