OrangeFox Recovery for the Oneplus 8t
Download

Boot it with: fastboot boot OrangeFox-R11.1-Unofficial-OnePlus8T.img
or flash it directly with: fastboot flash recovery OrangeFox-R11.1-Unofficial-OnePlus8T.img
You can also adb sideload the zip file from any other recovery
​

The OrangeFox sources are still based on Android 11, so it can not decrypt internal Storage on Android 12.x yet (if using Android 12.x on encrypted Storage!)

After flashing a ROM (Android 11 or lower) and doing a Format Data, you need first Boot to System once, otherwise the Internal Storage is not accessible from OrangeFox.

ROM Flashing instructions:
-Flash ROM
-Flash OrangeFox
-Reboot to recovery (to switch slot)
-Flash (Nik)Gapps (if needed)
-Flash Magisk
-Format data
-Reboot to system

If you get a Bootloop after flashing a ROM and having done a Format Data do the below:

Boot to bootloader and:
- fastboot devices
- fastboot -w
- fastboot reboot

Is there a way to maintain splash screen changes after reboot with encryption?

Is there a way to maintain splash screen changes after reboot with encryption?

Hello! You mean you want to edit/modify the splash screen? I think that can only be done directly on the source side before building the OrangeFox recovery. That is how I have done that in the past.

Oh ok, cause i was using the built in feature but it restores stock splashscreen after reboot

I will have a look at that if I can find out why it is like this.

Hi all!

I will need to rebuild the OrangeFox and also found some other small thing I need to fix.
I will do that and upload a new Version in the next days.

Seems I messed up something when changing the devicename (kebab/OnePlus8T).

 

[Wishmasterflo]

Hi all!

I have just uploaded a new Version of my Orangefox.

Now it should be possible to correctly flash/install it.

Changelog:
- Changed device name from kebab to OnePlus8T
- Some small bug fixes

The download link is updated with the new Version in the OP.

Enjoy.

Just updated to this build and it wont let me boot back to the OS, just loops back to orange fox recovery, tried flashing the OLD version but that errors, fastbooted the old version and it wont let you flash OF back again... had to resort to booting TWRP to get the system working again.. Now back on the older Orange Fox which we love ....

Is this version Android 12 support...

 

[Wishmasterflo]

Is this version Android 12 support...

Since this is based on the OrangeFox 11.0 sources and there are no sources for OrangeFox 12.0 which would be based on Android 12 this is still based on Android 11 until there are new sources for OrangeFox which I can use to build a new Version with full Android 12 support.

So OrangeFox Version R11.1 is not able to decrypt the Storage when you are on Android 12!
I guess you can still flash/use Android 12 with OrangeFox so long your Storage is not encrypted.
It is most about the encryption of Android 12 which is different and will not work with this OrangeFox Version as of now.

Interesting and nice with an alternative to TWRP for this device.

Do orangefox also have the same ~50s boot delay that the current TWRP version for 8T has?

Yes that booting delay is almost the same as TWRP I would say.

Touchscreen does not work on 9R

 

[Wishmasterflo]

Touchscreen does not work on 9R

This is build and adjusted for the Oneplus 8t only, so it could be that not everything is working on the 9R now.
