If the touchscreen is not working for you after booting/flashing Orangefox please make sure that the booted Orangefox is on the same OOS base as your phone is on!
Note: fastbootd is not working on the OOS13 based Orangefox!!
Take a look at this Post from TWRP in regards of Backup and Restore or
here from the Orangefox wiki.
Keep in mind! Never flash a recovery file if you are not on the same OOS Firmware as the recovery is for, otherwise you will end up in Qualcomm Crashdump mode or just a black screen.
Always just do a fastboot boot recovery.img until you are on the same OOS Firmware on your phone as the recovery is for, only then you can flash it with fastboot flash recovery as well!

The Messages failed to mount system, vendor after flashing a ROM can be ignored.
That is due to mounting those for both ext4 and EROFS and of course you can have only one of them.

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