im using twrp now. if i flash orangefox.zip is it will be enough?

Yes!

 

[alexandarpb]

in Orangefox my internal storage it shows "cjaldhskwjao" like this random characters. what to do?

Did you manage to resolve your problem.
I am having the same issue right now.
Аll my internal storage folder and file names have been replaced by some random letters and characters like encryption problem. Would erasing everything resolve the problem?
Also, i used the second method, using twrp and flashing the orangefox. zip, now i am reading the main method where it is saying to fastboot flash boot recovery.img. Where is that recovery.img ? it is not in the Download directory, there are only zip. and txt files.

Thank you in advanced!

Yeah i solved issue. i did a lot of things i dont remember what i did true but i will try to help you. Wipe dalvik cache data and click format data(This will wipe EVERYTHING on your internal storage). Dont reboot. Install rom zip, extract orangefox zip you will find recovery.img inside. flash it via pc. and flash orange.zip in orangefox. Flash magisk. dont reboot. flash nofdepatch10.zip try to reboot. I will be so hope if you succeed because i had same issue. it wasted my 1.5 months :/

I get the exact same problem. Really disappointed as I took time, get to understand everything, then follow step to the letter. I've always managed to do things safely on all my devices. But doing the same as usual I finally get this and get really afraid of bricking my brand new phone because I formatted data.

Is there any rom zip for official stock rom? As I want to keep the rom, I'm only trying to root it.

Hate to be that desperate guy asking for help but if someone could get me to the solution he/she would be my hero.

 

[alvin182]

decryption is not working in Orange fox, only works on Nik001's twrp build!

 

[cldkrs]

whats the difference between TWRP and OrangeFox?

Hey,

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=962154could find zip rom from here, i wil recommend just to use root method without twrp, anyway twrp can conflict with ota( i am not sure)

Also you could use fastboot rom for fastboot method.

How to flash Magisk without causing encrypting device? Anybody know steps i should follow? should i also flash recovery?

 

[Technical]

Is it only me or we can't boot this OrangeFox Recovery R10.0_2.1 (fastboot boot recovery.img)?
I've tested also with twrp-3.3.1-2 image file and can't boot it also.

I was trying to load OrangeFox into RAM and make a nandroid before flashing it.
Thank you.

stuck in fastboot

I had OrangeFox installed, but then lost it after installing a ROM. While attempting to reinstall OrangeFox, I somehow became stuck in fastboot (device will only boot to fastboot). Can someone tell my how to fix this?

I'm in the same boat as you, even tried installing the other TWRP recovery and still the same. Can boot the phone, it bootloops into fastboot.

EDIT: Fixed it flashing the stock package and then flashing everything again (OrangeFox, ROM, GApps and fde patch).

Update your adb and fastboot to a newer version. Use latest SDK platform tools.

 

[alantonche]

Xiaomi Mi A3 doesn't allow fastboot boot on boot partition.

You can achieve that if you flash the recovery into boot partition on the inactive slot. Then boot to TWRP, change slot, don't reboot and perform a nandroid backup.

INSTALLATION:

1- How to install OrangeFox Recovery ?

Method-1=
1. Download the OrangeFox zip file and copy it to your device (internal or external storage)
2. Extract the recovery.img from the zip and store it, on the folder where you have adb and fastboot files, on your PC
3. Open a cmd line and execute these commands (being on that folder, of course):
- adb devices (to make sure your device is detected)
- adb reboot bootloader (to reboot into fastboot mode)
- fastboot getvar current-slot (to check what's your current active slot)
- fastboot set_active b (if your active slot was a, if it was b then change it to a)
- fastboot erase boot
- fastboot flash boot recovery.img
- fastboot reboot (NOTE : Before hitting "Enter", long press Vol + on your device until you see the Android One logo. By doing this your device will be forced to boot into Recovery and not into System)
4. When OrangeFox recovery boots, if you have the stock boot.img that matches the build on this "currently active" slot, flash it into boot partition. If you don't have, then just ignore this step...(it's not mandatory)
5. Install the OrangeFox zip (always install the latest build available)
6. Change slot to the one that was active on the beginning of these steps and reboot to Recovery (just to make sure that the slot, in fact, was changed)
7. Reboot to System
8. Enjoy!

Method-2=
0. Backup your ROM and all your files
1. Download the OrangeFox zip file to your device
2. Reboot to your custom TWRP-based Recovery
3. Install the OrangeFox zip file as a normal zip
4. The device will automatically reboot into OrangeFox recovery after installation (allow this to happen)
5. Enjoy!


2 -How to flash rom(s) using OrangeFox Recovery:

1. Format data (TIPPING YES).
2. Flash rom zip (PE, BEAST, ATOM
ETC...)
3. Flash OrangeFox-Recovery.zip again. ( INSTALLER, THE PHONE WILL REBOOT TO ORANGE RECOVERY (IF YOU DONT FLASH THIS AGAIN, RECOVERY WILL DISAPPEAR)
4. Flash Magisk v20.
5. Flash Gapps (optional).
6. Flash Patch_no_fde.

hi guys,
i have a mi a3 and i installed pixel expirence on it for a while, then i wanted to try lineage os so i came across this forum but all i have to say is, it won't work for you, at least not the way described in the guide, everytime i tried it it got stuck on bootloop or it just keeps rebooting to recovery, i tried all combinations i could think of but finally i managed to somewhat get a successful install by doing the following :
- boot to bootloader
- plug phone
- fastboot devices
- fastboot getvar current-slot
-fastboot set_active a
- fastboot flash boot recovery.img
- fastboot reboot
- in ofox recovery wipe data and system and delvik cash
- make sure you're on slot a
- flash rom
- reboot to system
- after you boot to the custom rom, reboot to bootloader
- plug phone and excute fastboot flash boot recovery
- reboot to recovery
- flash gapps then reboot to system
- reboot to recovery again and flash magisk and no_fde
- reboot to system
this way worked for me and ofox recovery is still installed , i hope it works for you
