[RECOVERY][DUALBOOT][Unified][A10][A11][OOS11]Orangefox-DualBoot-Unified-Reborn[21-03-2021]

[toxicimpression]

Please forgive me if I am overlooking something obvious.

I want to try the latest DualBoot recovery on my OnePlus 7 Pro (GM-1917). I have read the detailed instructions in the OP, and I understand them. However, I couldn't find the download link for this DualBoot recovery anywhere in the OP nor in the following posts.

Is there an official download site for this recovery module? I noticed that there is a github site, but the message there states that the project is deprecated.

Thank you for any help you can offier.

Ok telegram is the app you need. And then then

Hi, I dont want dual boot, I want only one OS but i want the common data partition visible in sdcard... Is It possible?

Wiped Dalvik cache
Went to reboot
Could see Slots now - Current Slot was Slot B
Tried to reboot into SLOT B

Didnt change anything there just flashed the twrp that was in the sd card

Hello. Im repartitioning and have a simple question. Im on the last step trying to calculate my userdata_size. I run the command then get a long list of ascending numbers, with the largest number on the very top. Which number would be my userdata_size? Id hate to enter the wrong number of coarse. Hopefully someone can help me with this quickly.
thanks

Is there some way that I can flash sgdisk onto my device via fastboot?

The reason I'm asking is because I had previously been running OrangeFox dual boot with two instances of OOS 10.3.8, and then without thinking, I upgraded to OOS 11.0.5.1 via Magisk without undoing the dual boot partitioning. Now, my device is unusable except via fastboot and a manual flash of TWRP, and it is impossible for me to access my /data partition in TWRP or in any other way ... and I'm now guessing that this is due to the fact that I didn't correctly undo the dual partitioning before performing this upgrade.

Because /data is inaccessible, I can't upload anything to the device via adb. That's why I'm hoping that there might be some sort of flashable img file that I can use to install sgdisk via fastboot, after which I then hope I could use it to unpartition /data and (I hope!) get my device working again.

Or is there perhaps some other way to fix this? I'm not optimistic, because with everything I did to try to fix this, I might have made the problem a lot worse to the point that it might no longer be fixable.

PS: Is there some way to do the same thing as sgdisk using the standard mount, umount, and other commands that are already present on the device? I can run a terminal in TWRP, and I have access to commands in /system/bin and other locations.

PPS: MsmDownloadTool doesn't work for me on this device, unfortunately. It kicks me out of EDL mode with this device, even though it works with another identical device that is still running single boot and that I didn't corrupt. I know that the device drivers are correct on the PC, both from inspecting them and because of the fact that the same instance of MsmDownloadTool works with that other device with no problem.

Use this twrp version to boot into TWRP(in fastboot mode) I link like this.
fastboot boot TWRP-3.5.1-guacamole-Nebrassy-3.img

than copy the orange fox installer to the phone from a PC (while in TWRP). Next go-to ware the TWRP(orangfox.zip) ended up and flash the Orange fox TWRP. Now reboot to recovery. If you don't see the data parts just flash the same orange fox zip again and reboot recovery.

File on MEGA

mega.nz

Sorry had to mega.nz link the TWRP.img file
Also though

And you should be set. Also another way is to switch slots by booting into fastboot and from PC typing... fastboot --set-active=b or =a.
Last this app for windows helps a lot to get past screw ups here off xda
All-in-one tool and Thiers another app I tried getting you a link to just now but the dl link is dead. Not at my PC so can't upload it. But hope this helps

Thank you very much!!!

It turns out that I ended up getting some help with this in the OrangeFox DualBoot Telelgram channel, and they suggested more or less the same approach ... although without nearly as much detail as your very helpful message.

I have now followed your and their suggestions, and my device is now fixed!

Thank you again! ... and Happy New Year!

PS: I had forgotten about the All-In-One tool, which I think is the predecessor to the MsmDownloadTool. Since my device is now working, my EDL problem is no longer critical for me to deal with. I'll work on it later, in my spare time. And I'll definitely give the All-In-One tool a try.

Glad I could help, I found the other windows app that has the fastboot-switch slot command. Makes it easier if I fry one side of my phone , switch slots, boot into recovery and reflash the Orangfox.zip. it's very reliable you can practically have blank, partitions then flash it and still get a recovery on both sides of the phone. Think this app requires java installation 1st. Happy tweaking and modding

That application indeed looks quite useful.

Thank you again!

Dumb question, but just want to confirm before flashing, will this recovery work with the Oneplus 7T model?

 

[Daffy555]

hi Guys,
i have a oneplus 7 pro with 256GB Storage but when i run dualboot it always says
Supported Device detected
128GB device detected
what am i doing wrong?

That's odd. You should ask on the telegram app channel

I think so. Ask on the telegram channel

A big note is that everyone could get way better support by using telegram and joining the chat channel.

This work confuses me. If I go to the android source website and take a look at partition overview, I can see that the recent many versions have different definitions over partitions and images. I can't figure out a way how it is possible to dual boot a10 and a11. I suggest OP to publish a book about this whole technical thing. btw what's status of a12 support?

So, this is labeled as orangefox, but people say twrp works....where is the twrp version of dualboot for this reborn mod
