This guide contains both the written instruction and a video tutorial to help you install it quickly. Make sure to download the files required and then jump straight into instructions on how to install TWRP Recovery on the Poco X3 GT (chopin).

Keep in mind that before heading over to the process, you will need to unlock the device bootloader at first.
