When I flash it on Redmi 9A and reboot to recovery there is only black screen.

Hi guys! My touch does not work in TWRP. Is there any way to restore it to work?

 

[Yuarian]

How can I install this on a device running MIUI 12.5.4? I need it for flashing ArrowOS (A11). Any help would be appreciated.

Recovery often does not support encrypted data partitions,

1) Reboot the device in fastboot

2) Open the CMD inside the platform-tools folder

WARNING: NEVER run "fastboot -w" on Minimal Fastboot and ADB or 15 Seconds ADB installer, doing this the DATA partition is corrupted so it must necessarily be run on platform-tools.

3) Run the "fastboot -w" command.

4) Now the device is decrypted.

again, youll lose all userdata, be mindful that it will only work until you create new user data, so you need to enter recovery right after reboot, I think if you do not do anything on first startup you should be good, but just to be safe refrain from going into system and go straight to recovery, there flashing the .zip of orange fox, should solve the issue, if not, yo can always redo this process and do what you need right after flashing the Orange fox zip, annoying but it should work.

I managed to succesfully install this Orange Fox custom recovery on .
Xiaomi Redmi 9A Dandelion
Im using MIUI Global 12.0.15 Stable
Everything works perfectly so far 10/10

I simply followed these instructions:

Installing OrangeFox Recovery

wiki.orangefox.tech

I did
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And afterwards flashed the recovery.zip from within OrangeFox to finalize.




I just have a few question.

Inside OrangeFox Recovery there are options to flash Magisk into it, are these safe to use in order to get root and debloat my device?
Do i need additional files, from the magisk website? Or are the files inside the recovery enough?

Thank you in advance, i just had these doubts, recentrly i fried my Motherboard, and many of my devices, i've destroyed lots of things, so im being cautious with everything i do.

Good for you.

I just have a few question.

Inside OrangeFox Recovery there are options to flash Magisk into it, are these safe to use in order to get root and debloat my device?

I think there are debloated ROMs that would be easier to flash, but thats beside the point.

To answer your question, Im not sure, I also saw those options and if youre talking about the same ones I saw, I think those options wont do anything Im pretty sure I tried them but nothing happened, in any case maybe I was just lucky and I know how to unbrick my device so I was pretty reckless on every stepof the way.

Now, if youre talking about dirtyflashing magisk.zip, thats not recomended since android 10 IIRC, it works sometimes but for reasons out of my knoledge, its not recomended.

Do i need additional files, from the magisk website? Or are the files inside the recovery enough?

The recomended method of flashing right now is installing the latest official, magisk APK you get from here and installing it on your phone

you should have a an A-only device since our devices are the same but I would check it throuhg adb, Orange Fox has a nice guide on how to do it.

Connect to your phone with a usb cable, open a command prompt, and run the command:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

If your phone is an A/B device, you will be shown the active slot (ie, either "_a", or "_b"). If the command shows no output, then the phone is NOT an A/B device.

if you do indeed have a A-only, get the boot.img thats inside the ROM you installed, (im pretty sure it has to be the fastboot one, but dont quote me on that) its supposed to be on

...\ROM\images\boot.img

put it on the phone SD card

open the app and check that the RAMDISK says yes (again it should be since my phone is and yours is the same, but check it.

if so, open magisk app, tap on install;

options: select the patching vbmeta (the option has to be activated, I think this will bootloop your device otherwise)
tap on next
method: select and patch file
tap on lets go


The Magisk app will patch the image to
[Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img.

copy that to your pc, Magisk says to use adb but its not necesary you can use file transfer using a cable, copy it specifically to your .../adb/platform-tools folder, change its name to "magisk_patched.img"

open CMD, and go to your .../adb/platform-tools folder using the cd command

once there you run fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img

and youre done, you should have rooted your device.

Thank you in advance, i just had these doubts, recentrly i fried my Motherboard, and many of my devices, i've destroyed lots of things, so im being cautious with everything i do.

No problem, as a final note, I recomend checking the "official guides", its not that I did something so different, I just did what worked better for me as a total n00b, but what I did was specific for my device and I made it up as I went, Im not responsible if anything bad happens to your device for blindly followig my guide, but the same goes for anything you do to your phone really, so there, I hope it helps you.

I rooted my device with these, its a bit overwelming to look at it but its way simpler, you just need to skip the steps that are not for our device., if you run into issues or doubts come to this comment to check how I did it, but thats about it.

How to Install Magisk on your Android Phone

Magisk is a powerful tool that can help you customize some aspects of your phone or even grant you root access. Here's how you can install it!

www.xda-developers.com

Oh and one last thing, It said on there that rooting requires a full data wipe? I didnt do that, I thought it would do it on its own while, before or after flashing boot.img, It did not. I dont know if I was suposed to do it or what but.. yeah, that happened.

I m stucked at orange fox logo.
Redmi 9at with last stock official rom (Android 11)
I think Orange Fox and twrp are not compatible with my redmi. Do you suggest a downgrade to try arrow os?

 

[the_arxyn]

The OrangeFox Recovery is the best custom recovery in this world in terms of Features and UI both and i love it so much

Then maybe your downloaded OFRP is does not compatible with your android vendor can mention the OFRP and MIUI version on which you are

 

[agesandros]

Hi.
In these few days I try some experiments to understand more about this phone.

I confirm, this redmi is only good to put inside a garbage box. Totally wrong in terms of hardware to run Android 10 or 11... I think you must consider a lower version, more light such as marshmallow or Oreo. Totally a delusion. Octacore power horses but completely without legs.
However, I was able to do, last week a downgrade to android 10 after my hard brick. And putting Orange Fox all goes like a charme. If I upgrade to android 11 stock, Orange Fox doesn't work at all.
I also tried custom roms. But a lot of problems come. Stucked at remi logo, under arrow os and cdroid os. (Garden is different from Dandelion)

Now I'm already on Android stock versions enhanced+ 0.5 ram. But still a lot of lags, the new telegram release has a lot of lag opening emotions menu(unusable at all) a lot of lags using chrome. A lot of lag opening settings menu...
Terrific experience using this redmi 9at.
