Provisioning the modem

Warning

You will need to do this every time before you boot Windows if you want LTE!

Note

You don't have to do this if you're using WoA Helper

Provisioning the modem mostly automatically (faster/easier method)

Prerequisites

Flash the modem provisioning zip

This is very self explanatory, open Magisk (or TWRP), install zip that does the hard work for you

  • Open Magisk (or boot TWRP)
  • Go to the Modules section ("Install" button in TWRP)
  • Flash the zip
  • Boot into Windows

Finished!

Provisioning the modem manually (longer/harder method)

Prerequisites

Flash and boot modded recovery

This is self explanatory, it flashes the recovery then reboots into the recovery

fastboot flash recovery path\to\twrp.img reboot recovery

Mounting partitions

Also self explanatory, this will mount the windows partitions

  • Go to the mount menu
  • Mount the partition win
Start ADB Shell

Starts a shell on your computer used to communicate with your phone over ADB

adb shell

Finding the modem folder

Take note of the random data in that folder name (after qcremotefs8150)

This looks for the Qualcomm remotefs driver folder

ls /win/Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository/ | grep qcremotefs8150

Dump modem data

Just like before, replace the random data with the one that you noted down before

Make sure you do BOTH commands

This dumps your modem data into the remote fs folder, ultimately fixing the modem

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/modemst1 of=/win/Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository/qcremotefs8150_[insert random data here]/bootmodem_fs1

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/modemst2 of=/win/Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository/qcremotefs8150_[insert random data here]/bootmodem_fs2

Finished!

Making the keyboard float

Warning

Make sure these steps are done on the POCO X3 Pro running Windows!

Opening the command prompt as an administrator

This is self explanatory, this opens the command prompt as administrator

  • Go to the start menu
  • Search command prompt
  • Hold the command prompt application and run it as administrator
  • Approve any UAC dialogs
Making the keyboard float

This deletes the registry key that tells the keyboard the size of our screen and makes it float again

  • In the command prompt put reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Scaling /v MonitorSize
  • Press 'y' then enter
  • Reboot your phone
