Is it possible to root a Xiaomi Poco M5s? - General Questions and Answers

There are a number of Sites about this topic, but to me, they all seem to be fake.
After all, i cannot see any information here about this model.
So... is it really possible or not?

Every phone, so also the Xiaomi Poco M5s, can get rooted.

Ok, i guess my question was silly. I'll try again:
Are there all needed tools available (ROM etc) to root a Xiaomi Poco M5s?

Unlock bootloader first , come back in a week and if I still remember this post I'll guide you thorugh it

Before trying to root your Xiaomi Poco M5s find its kernel version. You can do this by going to "Settings" > "About phone" > "Kernel version".
If kernel version is 5.10 or higher you may use KernelSU.

ah thanks guys for your answers. i just got the phone today.
my kernel version is 4.14.168
it looks like they sold me some old device.
anyway, i try to unlock the bootloader.

In need of FULL guide to flash Global ROM to Mi MIX 3

Hi guys,
Been searching the forums and located some nice information but i would like a full guide step by step tutorial which can help me and others who are in a similar situation.
I dont want to brick my phone as i only got it yesterday but unfortunately has the china ROM. I managed to get google stuff installed but the assistant aint working so best to install the global ROM that has all this stuff already pre-loaded.
Could someone be so kind to provide me with a step to step tutorial on how to fully flash the global rom which i found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-3-miui-10-global-stable-android-pie-download/
I would really appreciate it Help a fellow noob out!
Thanks!
P.s, usually i just go and wing it but i dont want to brick / break the phone. I live in ireland so hopefully this global one works out. I enabled the dev option and already have the unlocker app from xiaomi, i have my mi account hooked to the mi unlock status so im just waiting on myself to unlock via the app on my PC from xiaomi. So thats where i am right now.
Pps, i see theres an EU ROM as well as global? Which one is better? Is there much difference?
My Phone is a mi mix 3 running MIUI Version 10.0.12.0(PEECNFH) Stable on Android 9.0

Go back one page and look down.
EU rom is based on chinese rom, other than that there isn't much difference.
Wheres the TWRP download for the mi mix 3? I cant find it anywhere, thanks

Got EU ROM installed, works a charm cheers!

TWRP & ROMs?

Previously I have owned phones by Vivo Oppo and Oneplus but I am new to Realme. What are the chances that this phone gains TWRP and/or any custom ROMs? Thanx
Really hard to say. The custom rom / twrp development has been really slow on the Realme X2 Pro, which means that not a lot of devs are working on Realme hardware.
On the other hand. The development of the XT is quite Good.
I don't think it's coming any soon
Also I think realme doesn't allow unlocking bootloader in EU.
I just hope they don't follow the footsteps from OPPO, which unlocking bootloader is a pain of the butt.
Is any possibility to get MIUI here ... i'm gonna pre order that thing but really want MIUI.
Be a little patient. Its gonaa be a while before we see something here.
Kernel Source out just about 12 hours ago...
https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realmeX50pro_AndroidQ-kernel-source
Kernel Source
Yes I made a post about it because someone wanted my help if they ran into issues on an X50 custom kernel I thought they meant X50 Pro and found the source code. Anybody attempt compiling it yet?
Regarding roms.... I compares network bands in Chinese and global versions. Look same so if I buy Chinese version can I upgrade software with EU rom (realme UI already) and get multilanguage? Or it will brick device?

Can you even find fastboot roms for this phone? I found a site with the roms, but they're all the recovery roms. I'm thinking of buying the new X50 Pro Player variant, but I don't have a lot of information regarding custom roms for the X50 Pro which isn't a good sign for the X50 Pro Player.
is there anyone who can post me a fastboot rom for rmx 2076 version? thanks

Indonesia ROM vs EEA ROM

I have read that the indonesia version of the ROM for Poco F2 Pro is more stable than the EEA one.
I also read that the indonesia version has the call recorder.
Are there any other differences? Network management type?
Thanks.

Use the INDO V12.0.4.0 version which is super stable
I am now on INDO V12.2.2.0 and it has many bugs, GPS does not work, recent app, battery discharges fast ...
I will return to INDO V12.0.4.0 and disable the update so as not to update.

Will I lose anything by going from EEA to Indonesian ROM? Like bands or languages or anything?
I'm in a process of unlocking the bootloader and downgrading from Android 11 to android 10 and I'm wondering which ROM is the best. I think a call recorder is a nice feature to have. I had it in my Zenfone 6.

I'm using a very strict banking app and I'm afraid they wouldn't like each other. Many users of my bank's app complained about that, but their developers always know better. Sometimes it doesn't even work with stock ROMs on some devices stating that they are rooted.

The main reasons why I'm going back to Android Q are:
the full screen not working in A11 (status bar always visible),
phone not streaming audio to the car head (stopped working after upgrade to A11)
and annoying animation when minimizing an app and going to the home screen (can't be switched off)
Are these bugs fixed in the eu ROM?

Couldn't find the answer there, thanks anyway.
I guess I'll stick to the stock Android 10 ROM, so the question still stands: what is the difference between Indonesia and EEA ROMs except for the dialer and message apps?

good afternoon, i did try to unlock the bootloader of two devices I bought and unfortunately i was unable to. i watched a few videos regarding the unlocking, downloaded the unlocking app and the waiting time doubled after my first try.i must have done something wrong but i dont know what. the only thing I am wondering is if i have to leave the sim in the device while im waiting for the 7 day period for example? have any of you got any suggestions and would you guys mind helping me and guide me step by step on what to do. i dont understand much and this is my first try. the poco f2 pro is with two SIM cards and the global version 12.2.5.0(rjkeuxm) and the redmi k30 is again with two SIMs with 12.1.6.0(rgicnxm)
thank you in advance

Question Root Xiaomi 12 to underclock SoC with FKM?

So i recently bought a Xiaomi 12 for ~$450, and i love it so far! So much more cool stuff compared to my previous 11 Lite 5G NE. Now, ive heard that the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 that the xiaomi 12 is using isnt really power efficient, and since i dont really need any faster SoC than compared to the 778G would i possibly be able to underclock/undervolt it? Im hoping it would bring down the power consumption while still offering more than enough SoC power for social media stuff like the 778G.
Ive already touched this undervolting stuff on my old 11 Lite 5G NE with Franco Kernel Manager. Couldnt do much with it tho as the pixelOS kernel controlled most of the stuff. Hoping it might be different on MIUI as its using a different kernel. Rooting would also allow me to install a xiaomi.eu rom to remove the ads and all the other stuff it brings with it. So is it worth it? Have anyone else tried?

yeah nah my bad, i meant that if im going to root (FKM needs root) i might as well install a Xiaomi.eu rom too while im at it. Ill need to unlock the bootloader anyways.
EDIT: im also a bit confused at the xiaomi 12 and 12 pro. Its basically the same device, but is it still under the same codename? The 11 Lite 5G NE and the 11 Lite 5G was 2 different devices, and things that worked on one might not work on the other, so im a bit lost at what things that the 12 pro can do which the 12 cant. Seems like the whole "Xiaomi 12" forum is filled with both Xiaomi 12 pro and Xiaomi 12T stuff.

Question RN 11Pro+ 5G Peux Is it worth the risk to change region?

Hello everyone! I've read several of the posts in here to understand the different procedures (newbie here on xiami things). I've got the Peux version, which doesn't have the MIUI14 released yet. From this, I've got questions for everyone here.
For the ROM part
1) Is it worth it to change the region to Global for the updates?
2) Can you tell me about your experience with the XiaoMiTool V2?
3) Is it better to do all steps as stated in the How-to guides?
For the Firmware part
I just checked, and in the firmware, there is already the V14 for Redmi Note 11 Pro/Pro+/Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G/Xiaomi 11i 5G/Hypercharge, India version, which I assume is my phone.
But, if the firmware is V14, will it update everything in my phone but the MIUI? Or if this is a misconception, I think I haven't fully understood the difference between firmware and ROM. (I'm reading from Firmware V14.0.3.0.TKTINXM)
Thank you all for your help to teach this newbie.
2) Can you tell me about your experience with the XiaoMiTool V2
This tool is unofficial, use Xiaomi official tools.
For a precise answer, please indicate the model of your device (my phone/characteristics/model).
Example:2201116SG, 2201116SR, 2201116SC, 2201116PG,21091116C.
Thank you for your answer!
If I get it then, as an unofficial app, is it wholly discouraged?
My phone's model is 2201116SI

One more question: Soc Mediatek or Qualcomm?
Edit:
Currently no Miui 14 Android 13
If you want to change version:
1/
Unlock bootloader
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
Apply for unlocking Mi devices
en.miui.com
2/use Miflash with a fastboot rom (TGZ).
(I'm reading from Firmware V14.0.3.0.TKTINXM)not for your device!!!

I really thought that because of the V14.0.3.0.TKTINXM it was for mine. I think I don't yet get how the firmware work then.
Qualcomm SD695
I do get how to change. My real question is about security, benefits, and updates. I understand that changing ROM region is a risk, so I want to evaluate and advice in order to do so.
This firmware (to simplify: serves to make the connection with the hardware), which is specific to each model is for a Xiaomi 11i / Hypercharge India, code name (pissarro).
The basis of the stock rom is the same, the only differences are:
Themes, GDPR/GDPR for the EEA, call recorder for Indonesian/Taiwan, and some region-specific apps.
You can re-lock the bootloader on all versions except Chinese.
The missing 4g bands on your version will always be missing regardless of the version you install.
The only risk is you.
Thank you so much NOSS8 for your answer! I think I will change to the global version just to get the MIUI14 updates.
Thanks for explaining firmware, and throwing in the 4G bands part (which was a concern too).
Thankks!!!
I know this has already been answered but I wanted to drop a quick tip;
You shouldn't search for firmwares based on market names cause Xiaomi uses similar market names for different devices in different countries. You should instead use device codenames.
The rom you were planning to flash was for "pissarro" and it's a different device entirely.
The device you have is "veux" , the Indian version might be called "peux" but you don't have to think to worry about the codename differences, it's inherently the same device, the only difference is it lacks NFC and Xiaomi has been doing this thing for a long time, releasing variants with slight hardware differences depending on the regional market, they also build the same rom that's flashable on both variants of the devices (nfc/non-nfc model).
You can flash Global Miui 14 whenever they release it for this device, there won't be any problems except that you won't be able to pass the safetynet whether you lock the bootloader or not, you'll have to rely on the safetynetfix Magisk module from Displax to pass the safetynet.
