Poco X4 Pro 5G Device Overview:

The Poco X4 Pro 5G features a 6.67 inches AMOLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It is an FHD+ panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9. The screen has a peak brightness of 1200 nits. Under the hood, we get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor built on a 6nm manufacturing process. It is an octa-core processor with two Kryo 660 Gold cores clocked at 2.2 GHz and six Kryo 660 Silver cores clocked at 1.7 GHz. For handling the graphics-intensive tasks, we have the Adreno 619. The smartphone comes with Android 11 out of the box with MIUI 13 skin running on it.

In terms of optics, we get a triple camera setup at the rear and a single selfie camera at the front. The triple rear camera setup consists of a 108MP primary sensor paired with an f/1.9 lens, a 64MP wide sensor paired with an f/1.8 lens, and a 2MP macro sensor paired with an f/2.4 lens. The selfie camera at the front is a 16MP primary sensor paired with an f/2.5 lens. Both the front and rear camera systems are limited to 1080p video recording.

The smartphone comes in four storage options: 64GB internal storage + 6GB RAM, 128GB internal storage + 6GB RAM, 128GB internal storage + 8GB RAM, and 256GB internal storage + 8GB RAM. We also get a hybrid microSD slot for storage expansion. In terms of communications, we get Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC, Infrared port, FM radio, and USB Type-C 2.0. And for sensors, we get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. Powering it all is a 5000 mAh battery that can be topped up quickly using a 67W power adapter. The company claims the phone goes from 0 to 70% in 22 minutes and 0 to 100% in 41 minutes. The smartphone is available in three color options: Laser Black, Laser Blue, and Poco Yellow.

1. How to Extract and Patch Boot.image using Magisk?

First of all, download and extract the ROM to your PC.
Attach your device via USB cable and copy only the boot.img file from the extracted folder to your device storage
Launch Magisk Manager. When a popup appears asking to install Magisk, select INSTALL and choose to install again.
Tap on “Patch Boot Image File”.
Navigate to internal storage and select your phone’s boot image that you transferred earlier.
Wait for a couple of seconds. Magisk will start patching the boot image.
Once the boot image has been patched, copy the “patched_boot.img” from the internal storage and replace it in the same extracted ROM folder on your PC.

Now you can follow the second step to flash the patched boot image file.

2. Steps To Install the Patched Boot Image on Poco X4 Pro 5G

Follow the proper guide to install Patched Boot Image on Poco X4 Pro 5G from the below link:

Now, extract the ADB & Fastboot tool, then move the patched boot image file to the same folder.
Press and hold down the Shift key + right-mouse-click to open the command window/PowerShell.
Next, enter the following command in order to flash the “patched_boot.img” to install Magisk and root your Android device:

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

For devices with an A/B partition system, you have to use the following commands:

fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img

Please replace [patched_boot.img] with the name of the boot image file you downloaded followed by the .img extension.

Wait for the flashing process to complete.
Finally, type in the command to reboot your device.

fastboot reboot

That’s it.

Steps to Verify the Systemless Root

Launch the Magisk Manager app on your device.
Now, in order to verify the systemless root access on your phone, you will see the status screen. Here all options should be green ticked if properly rooted. If yes, that means you’ve successfully bypassed the Google SafetyNet measure as well.
