@DarthJabba9 How's the Android 12 ROM's compatibility, can they be decrypted yet?

@DarthJabba9 How's the Android 12 ROM's compatibility, can they be decrypted yet?

Nope. Android 12 encryption is quite problematic, and there is much work to do before recoveries can decrypt it properly. There is a hack that means that one or two devices can now be decrypted (only if there is no password/PIN) - but vayu is not one of them.

Isn't this the first official recovery for vayu? Wonder why there aren't more views and comments.

With this Recovery I have the same problem with official TWRP that I have no access to internal storage after flashing. So I'm not able to copy a .zip to it. Is there any solution?

 

[borisku]

Yes, you should have format data partitition, but read a lot before that action, all data will be lost and you need password or PIN if there was one....

 

[xfighter11]

Yeah, did that but I had no access anyways.

 

[Antonio7489]

Yeah, did that but I had no access anyways.

android 11 or 12?

 

[Aki-to]

Installed this on my Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro through the official TWRP and then through itself, after

data

was formatted.

The UI and UX in general is really amazing. Finally a recovery made for humans, which is easy to use and actually comfortable. It's actually NOT a chore to use this recovery!

Great job, thank you very much.

If you are using Android 12, you should switch to Android 11, if you want an easier experience with recoveries.

Additionally, you generally should use a microSD for such stuff, instead of Internal Storage, because the Internal Storage may be wiped, anytime. While the microSD (External Storage) only needs to be wiped, if you really want to.

the moment you format the data, you will lose the partition until you boot into a working system
if you want to continue install things, you could use adb sideload to do so

I also switched from TWRP to Orangefox and am quite happy so far. Installation on Poco X3 Pro was a breeze.

I installed LineageOS official as they are one of a few who have nightly builts / OTA.

However, I´m not sure if I have to set anything in Orangefox in order for the OTA´s to work. I´ve found the guide on the wiki page (How do I set up block-based incremental OTA for custom ROMs in OrangeFox Recovery?)

however I´m unsure if the LOS-ROM is such a "block-based" Rom I must admit that I don´t know what "block-based" incremental means , sorry

Thank you for any help

"Block-based" = "Delta" (ie, incremental updates that only patch the existing system in the areas that need to be updated, rather than full ROM updates). An example is the incremental MIUI OTA updates. Lineage OTA updates are usually full ROM updates.

 

[Friend of Bill W.]

Thanks @DarthJabba9 !

Edit: Got root working. Only encryption pw problem left. I did read wiki section

 

[azhark193]

Can I flash this in Bhima?

 

[DarthJabba9]

Can I flash this in Bhima?

It is a unified build, so you should be able to.

 

[ronaldlu69]

amazing, I used many versions of twrp, all failed.

 

[PolarD0G]

Hey uh, I just got the MIUI13 based on A12 update notification, but haven't downloaded it yet. If I update, will something happen? Or will OF just lose access to my storage until it can get the decryption sorted out?
