I have a "ginkgo", when I tried to flash the firmware there was an error that said: "E3004: This package is for ginkgo this is a willow" and obviously the package with the firmware was correct.

If you are absolutely sure it's a ginkgo, and you are flashing a ginkgo rom/firmware then in the rom/firmware.zip you can go to META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script->here remove the following line:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "ginkgo" || abort("E3004: This package is for \"ginkgo\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

Now recovery won't verify your device and you can flash the proper rom. Although don't extract your full rom.zip. Just open(not extract) with winrar, go to the mentioned path and extract the updater-script, make changes with notepad++ and drag the new modified updater-script back in the same path.

I have test build to solve that problem (hopefully). If you're interested to be tester, PM me.

Stability on Beta and questions.

Hi there, I just got a RN8 and want to try out this recovery. It seems great and supports MIUI OTA updates.
How stable is the Beta version as compared to the Stable one? Is there any major improvements that I should choose the Beta one over the Stable one or vice versa?
Besides, this should support the MIUI.EU ROMs' OTA updates, right? And is its functionality is the same as TWRP (e.g. anything that TWRP supports, OrangeFox will also support) ?
Thank you!

This is, basically, TWRP on steroids.
If you know what you're doing, hop on the BETA train, otherwise, stable is the safest choice.

Ok thanks. I think I will stay with the stable build then since I'm a newbie at all this flashing stuff. Should I flash TWRP first and then flash OrangeFox from TWRP or flash OrangeFox directly? Is it the same result?

It depends on your method of flashing...
If you extract the img from Orangefox archive, you can flash it directly from fastboot, otherwise, flash TWRP first, then flash the Orangefox zip from TWRP.

But will flashing from TWRP keep both TWRP and OrangeFox?

No, it won't.

Thank you so much for clearing my doubts. I will flash OrangeFox directly then. I still need to wait for quite a while for my bootloader to be unlocked...
