Fastbootd doesn’t work.

Yes fastbootd does not work now on the oos13 based Orangefox.

Hello I'm on stock OOS13 and just booted Orange Fox in order to install firmware.

When I loaded up the recovery it gave me the notice that my data was encrypted. If I would like to use Orange Fox on a regular basis with either OOS13 or custom ROM I would have to flash instead of boot and also format my data?

Yes then you flash it if you want to use it as your recovery.
Format data you only need to do if you are flashing a new ROM but when just flashing Orangefox you dont need to format data.
M y Orangefox is able to decrypt data on OOS13 (on Oneplus 8t/9r). And I guess OOS13 is using EROFS so flash the EROFS Version of Orangefox
If you have a OP8/8Pro with OOS then those are using an older encryption method (FBEv1) so in that case you need to use a FBEv1 recovery as my Orangefox only de FBEv2 !!

 

[Rootk1t]

yes if you have flashed the orangefox.zip file. Otherwise you will not get the Orangefox addons installed.

OrangeFox .zip you're referring to, from here?

I'm using a OnePlus 8T KB2007 that was converted to EU so now on KB2003-F.62....so sounds like the EROFS version is what I need.

I'll flash that and format/decrypt once I switch from stock to a custom ROM which I'm planning to do soon.

Yes

FYI

My Orangefox V15 Version will be the last Version for OOS12/OOS12 based custom ROMs!

All newer Version from now on will only be OOS13 based.

For Android 11 and lower ROMs please use Orangefox 11 from here.

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.

Spoiler: Flashing Instructions and switching OOS Firmware Base

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!

Firmware Flasher Download

ROM Flashing instructions:
(take a look at the Spoiler above if you need to switch OOS Firmware Base for your ROM)
-Flash ROM
-Flash OrangeFox (only when your device is on the same OOS FW as the recovery)
-Reboot to recovery (to switch slot)
-Flash Gapps (if needed)
-Flash Magisk (Magisk can be installed through Fox addons - Install Magisk as well)
-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

No for OP8 and OP8pro running oos you need to use a recovery which uses fbev1 encryption.

OrangeFox Recovery Oneplus 8/8Pro/8t/9r R12.1 V16

For OOS13 and OOS13 based custom ROMs

Changelog:

- OOS13 Based (should work with both ext4 and EROFS ROMs)
- Fixed device detection for Oneplus9R
- Misc changes and adjustments
- Updated with latest Orangefox source changes
- Updated with latest Meteoric Kernel

Download link to this new Version as well as old OOS12 and OOS11 based Versions is in the OP.

Did some testing on v16 on OOS 13 F.62.
Backup and restore both work well.
After the restore, the phone spent a very long time in the boot animation and eventually rebooted again.
At that point I ejected the SIM card and then it did the usual first reboot which requires a second reboot before it comes up properly.

However, restore won't work if digest verification is turned on - see attached recovery log.

Also, the recovery log was created with the incorrect attributes (see screenshot) and can't be accessed once the phone boots.

FYI

It seems that flashing or sideloading Magisk is not working in the new Orangefox V16 Version by some reason.
It just gets stuck during installation.

I have no clue why, must be something Kernel related I guess. I have to check on that!

EDIT: I have removed the V16 download files now until I have fixed the Kernel/Magisk flashing issues!

This is fixed now and I have uploaded an updated V16 Version now.

flashed V16.ZIP from within magisk ! awsome

Seems that this file permission issue had started when I switched to Meteoric Kernel to fix the USB mtp issue so will check on that.

EDIT: OK guess I found the issue since it is working for me again now when I rebuilt Orangefox now and trying to fix fastbootd now.

- OOS13 Based (should work with both ext4 and EROFS ROMs)

I tried to fix Fastbootd in OOS13 based Orangefox as well but it seems that it is still not working. At least for me not.

Can confirm that files are now created with correct attributes (thank you!) and that fastbootd still doesn't work (no PC connection).
Also digest verification on restore is still broken.
