The POCO M3 (Citrus) is a robust smartphone, but it can occasionally run into software problems such as bootloops, bricking, or FRP lock. In such cases, accessing EDL (Emergency Download Mode) through the Test Point method can help resolve these issues.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through locating the POCO M3 Test Point, entering EDL Mode, and using it to repair or recover your device.

What is an EDL Test Point?

An EDL Test Point is a specific point on the motherboard that enables the device to enter Emergency Download Mode. This hardware-level feature is often required when:

• The device is bricked or stuck in a bootloop.
• Fastboot and Recovery Modes fail.
• FRP lock removal is needed.
• Stock firmware flashing is required.
