But all this is just the beginning. There are a plethora of things that you could carry out, once you unlock the device’s bootloader. To begin with, you get to flash a custom recovery like TWRP, install custom ROMs, and even get access to the system partition by rooting your device. This in turn allows you to flash Magisk Modules, Substratum Themes, and Xposed Frameworks. But all these bring in some uninvited risks as well. In some cases, it might result in a bootloop or soft brick. But fret not. If ever that happens, then you could directly flash the stock MIUI ROM on your Poco X3 NFC and bring it back to normal working condition. Then we talk about rooting, it could be done via TWRP or without TWRP. At the time of writing there is no TWRP for Poco X3 NFC, hence rooting without TWRP is the only option. For that, you will have to extract the stock ROM and get hold of the stock boot.img file. So this is another reason why you need to stock ROM. Along with the same, when the OEM releases OTA updates, it does so in batches. hence not everyone would receive the update at one go. But to cut the wait-time you could directly manually download the stock ROM from this guide and flash it onto your device. Well, the perks of this firmware are endless. So without further ado, grab hold of the stock MIUI ROM for your Poco X3 NFC device and get going.
