oh, you were talking about the thread itself, sorry... but the recovery itself will work the same regardless number of posts here on xda or telegram... I personally don't care where are new versions announced...

Because sadly I am not the developer and I cannot post Telegram links here.


I can update manually, as long as any of you guys DM me the link to the Telegram group, so I can join.



@jeryll @olujnap316


Can anyone of you guys provide the Telegram link for me to update the thread more often?

Are there any written instructions anywhere on how to run the adb tools and commands precisely? Total noob here

[billabongstaff]

Fixes error 7 while clean or dirty flashing.
Backup migration now works.

Cheers.

Thanks guys. Made small instructions video for the absolute noobs (me included).

Tools used: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Instructions on adb commands and flashing:

1. Bootloader Unlocked
2. Download the latest Orangefox boot.img from first post and put it into a dedicated folder in your computer.
3. Go to the folder where you have put the Orangefox-file. Now open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here" (depends on your pc).
4. Enter fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer
5. Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot flash recovery OrangeFox-R11.0_6_Alpha-Unofficial-surya.img
(Needs to be exactly as the name of the file, in case developer uploads new version with new name)<<. Attention: Do not restart your device otherwise Xiaomi's original recovery might overwrite Orangefox!
6. After, device will reboot into Oangefox recovery.

Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/E7fl_02Kgc8

I had also downloaded the latest Magisk zip (not Manager) from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and placed it into the device before flashing Orangefox, so that i flash Magisk directly from recovery (as we left it above), in order to ensure it will not lose Orangefox installation after reboot.
In case it does not automatically reboot, hold +VOL + Power Button in order to reboot into the new orangefox recovery and install magisk zip from there ( do not forget to have it downloaded somewhere on your device before initiating the procedure)


Thanks everyone, especially OP for his contributions!

Factory reset /wipe prevents userdata to be decrypted? For twrp after you do a factory reset you have to format userdata even without password/pin inside the OS.

Can i backup persist partition with this recovery?

 

[DarK_455]

Hi!

I'm getting the error "Failed to map file" while I try to flash Magisk in this recovery.

Any help?

 

[lakyman]

Hope this recovery will be official soon ! I don't know why there is no stable built yet of twp or yours ! I'm waiting for it to flash !

Yes you can using dd.
