Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] x3gamma:
After testing it out there is some things that should be changed/fixed:

1) Decryption of the encrypted device should have options to revert back to 3x3 and 4x4. (Why is it disabled in the first place?)

2) Provide option to attempt decryption from mount menu should the user cancel on first boot.

3) Configuration files for the recovery should be changed to the rootfs as placing it in /sdcard is not exactly the best option when the recovery cant even read it while encrypted.

4) ADB toggle switch does not work. (If the objective is to disable ADB sideload in the advanced menu, this is pointless and this option should persist beyond reboot)

5) Sadly the flashlight is not there.

Other than that the recovery is fantastic but it will be nice if these can be included.

Its awesome!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DarthJabba9:
:good:

BTW: it would be great to see some logs ...
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] x3gamma:
Wow I am really impressed at this fox version and really glad to see that feedback is actually taken in. Thumbs up ^.^

Continuing, here are a list of issues I have encountered during my testing.

1) If decryption is skipped on first boot and decryption is attempted at the mount menu, the device boots into fastboot mode. (Clearly not intended)

2) ADB on startup is still accessible. I believe this is a simple code issue and should not affect devices which are not full disk encrypted. I suspect something to do with leaving the file on the encrypted partition as after decryption the ADB configuration kicks in but proceeds to unlock itself anyways and re enabling ADB.

3) Password lock was automatically bypassed? (After decryption)

4) Notification lights are permanently turned on. (Did you mix up the code for flashlight and the notification light? XD)

Maybe some features that can be changed/implemented

1) Custom backup directories

2) Flashlight? (Kind of unimportant)

Really nice to see this project alive and kicking. Keep up the good work!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DarthJabba9:
Thanks for the report (although people don't need to reproduce the whole post).

Brief explanations ...

1) No, not intended, but hardly a major inconvenience.

2) ADB is enabled automatically, else there would be no way to obtain logs if the installation goes awry. This is not going to change. You can always disable ADB after the first installation - but then you would face the same issue of not being able to get logs if something goes wrong during bootup.

3) Expected behaviour.

4) The issue with Leds afflicts some devices, but not others. I will simply disable them on oxygen.

5) Suggested features - maybe, and maybe not. Probably not.

As I said, logs would be very useful. They can provide far more helpful data than can be described in a forum post.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] x3gamma:
Version 10 is a fantastic step up for me as majority of configurations stick even on a encrypted device.

I don't mind providing logs but is there a specific directory where they are located?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DarthJabba9:
Menu->More->Copy Log to SD. It will show you exactly where the logs have been copied to (normally /sdcard/Fox/).

Appreciate the new recoveries. Looking forward to your custom rom, bro! Thanks for your hard work :highfive:.

Edit:

Flashed OrangeFox-R8.0-nitrogen.zip and it just goes to fastboot. Booted phone as well and then reboot from there and power + volume up takes me to fastboot. I tested three new downloads of the orange recovery and all took me to fastboot instead of recovery. Flashed back to TWRP 3.2.3.0 using twrp app without a problem and booted into that recovery. Then, I flashed Pitch Black recovery without any problems. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Ok, downloading now. Will report back, thanks. :svetius:

Edit: .img didn't flash - "flash failed." I used twrp app - same way I flashed pitch black recovery image when previous orange fox zip would remain stuck on fastboot screen.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ROMFACTORY:
have you downloaded the latest zip from the Android file host ?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] opasha:
No, downloaded and used the latest .img above the zip in androidfilehost. I'll test the zip now.

Edit:

Just flashed the zip using pitch black recovery. Both the image and the zip file have the same problem. They both, like your first version, reboot to fastboot instead of recovery. I just flashed back to pitch black without issue using twrp app. Maybe check the script in case fastboot reboot line is in there by mistake?
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ROMFACTORY:
idk not a issue on my side using the same device tree on both the recoveries. i have contacted the dev team we are working on a fix

Edit2: [MENTION=5850987]DarthJabba9[/MENTION] fixed the build. Latest version, which he will post shortly works great. This is definitely a nicer/cleaner recovery. I highly recommend it! Thanks, buddy!

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nijel8:
It's a hardware generated key(FDE), not a password per say so you can't get it. The recovery needs more work to be able to support it and decrypt device automatically at boot just like the rom does...

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] anuragm13:
Ok now here things get tricky....

On another poco f1 thread, a guy unlocked his bootloader but to my surprise, his device wasn't factory reset.

On further interrogation, i got to know that he just unboxed his phone, set up his google and mi accounts and WITHOUT setting any lock screen security (password/pin/pattern), he proceeded to unlock the bootloader.

And in most of the cases a user sets up lock screen security and then proceeds to unlock bootloader

Now, what my assumption is that if the device has lock screen security (i.e. the device is protected) the miunlock tool assumes that there is sensitive data on the phone and to prevent unauthorised access to the data, it factory resets the device upon unlocking....

But now here's the catch, when there's no lock screen security, the miunlock tool assumes that there isn't any sensitive data on the phone and hence do not performs a factory reset.

Although i haven't tested it, but i am pretty sure this is the case. So hey, we found a method of unlocking bootloader (official way) without data wipe!!

I would be grateful if you guys can confirm this and reply
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nigam666:
Would have confirmed it but my bootloader is already unlocked. Anyways how much data do you have on your phone? Just back it up unlock it already. If you're so worried about it, sorry to say, but this isn't the right forum for you. Many people have tried explaining to you that a bootloader unlock always erases the internal storage and app data, but you're not willing to accept it. :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] uremytoy:
You are wrong. I didn't have any pin, finger lock or anything and my phone also got wiped. Maybe he got just luck or doesn't know what factory reset means
