[OFFICIAL][RECOVERY] OrangeFox Recovery Project [R10.1]

[Wmateria]

so i have to change all my partition (data,system,internal) to f2fs?
my data is partition is f2fs, system is ext4, internal is vfat

Data should be F2FS, correction on my part. Then flash.

downloaded twrp for mi max 3 from here https://files.orangefox.tech/OrangeFox-Stable/nitrogen/OrangeFox-R10.0-Stable-nitrogen.zip


Now i have to flash it with official recovery right? I don't have access to my pc now so i have to know is it going to brick my device? Or is it going to ask for password?

VFAT? You need to switch from VFAT to F2FS Partition (All Partitions - and mainly DATA) to use Miui Beta and Stable Roms.

Just note you need to use EXT4 Partition for Custom Rom.. and when you use Miui 9.12.4 or any Miui Rom, switch back to F2FS Parition before Rom installation.

You can use Magisk 20.1 after... just make sure that System, Vendor and Data is mounted before flashing. Just make sure that you do NOT start erasing apps via root, or you will get a soft brick and you have to install the rom again... do not install Viper4android, or your device wil get soft bricked again.

I have switched back and forth from miui.eu beta to custom rom and vice versa, but I didn't know what type of partion my phone. So I just downloaded diskinfo app and check. My phone cache, system partition is ext4 while my data partition is f2fs. So far my phone has no problem. I even restored nandroid backup of miui.eu from custom rom with 4 wipes and it booted up. I also installed viber4android and no issue so far.

Can anyone encrypt their phone with the Xiaomi (EU) ROM and OrangeFox? I tried it and after, i entered the password to encrypt the phone, it goes imminently back to the main encryption menu.

Disable force remove encryption under orange fox setting, Setting-Miui ota

Flash again the Rom

I found the problem. Normally you have an option in Android called "Secure Startup" to enable this, but in MIUI you have to do this:
Go to "Settings" - "About phone" and tap "MIUI version" 7 times to switch on "Developer options".
Next go to "Additional settings" - "Developer options" - "Encrypt device using Lock screen password" .
Now encryption works on Max 3 with Android 10 but OrangeFox can't decrypt the data partition with the correct password.

You are using Xiaomi.eu - right?

 

[SuperL0L]

Yes i do. I'm really confused about this.

Xiaomi.eu has had this issue for a long time. The devs need to apply this patch - https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/vold/+/ca08c0a724856e9c95a679991167afd297eda915^!/

So installing viper4android with magic is a nono? Probably the main reason I root phone, will I bother?

Have you plans to release another newer version or is this project EOL?

The 11.14 Android 9 works fine with Viper4android, the recent android 10 Miui cause the phone to bootloop after installing.

How is this relevant to Xiaomi.eu's bug? There will be a new release when one is required.

Let me guess - your data was formatted (either by you or by MIUI), and so the /sdcard/Fox/FoxFiles/ directory no longer exists. You know the answer - flash the OrangeFox zip again.
PS: next time, what I need is the recovery logs, not pictures. I normally would just ignore posts like this ...

Thanks for the reply, phone brand new, problem is after adb flash I haven't the option to install orangefox zip. What am I missing?

You need to flash official TWRP from fastboot then install orange fox .zip from there
