Hi.

I have a Poco x3 pro which is stuck on MIUI 13.0.3. Whenever I check, it says that it has the latest version and there are no new updates, but there are several updates after this 13.0.3 collection of bugs.

So, I've downloaded new ROMs from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/vayu/

But when I want to flash new ROMs using the "choose update package" option it says "This ROM is intended for internal testers. Make sure your account has the required permissions.

I've tested it with versions 13.0.4, 13.0.8 and 14.0.3. All stable releases and recovery ROMs.

This is driving me crazy. Anyone got the same problem or knows any solution to this?

Thanks.

Update: I found no solution. I unlocked my phone, downloaded a fastboot rom, and using MiFlash tool, installed MIUI 14.0.3. No major bugs so far.

Yes I'm seriously thinking about that. Lineage? Or are there better distributions for this phone?

There are tons. I am on crDroid but the BB is lackluster and Gestures are not that great. The good thing is that it has unlimited Photos Backup, and monthly updates.

Thanks. What does BB mean? Does crdroid have any advantages over lineage?

Battery Backup . CrDroid has lot more customisation on the top and comes with good number of features baked in.
