Hi [MENTION=5850987]DarthJabba9[/MENTION],

If I want to flash full ROM via OrangeFox, so I need to tick Disable DM-Verity & Force-Encryption right?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
No. For this device, you should not tick them. That is why they are unticked by default, and they are unticked automatically on every reboot, no matter what you did to them before.

Hello, i've been using miui.eu rom with an unofficial twrp recovery which can decrypt the data partition. Therefore i have an encrpyted phone. I've been meening to ask, can orange fox recovery decrypt partition data or do i need to perform a format data operatrion?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Felix Siahaan:
Oh okay...

Thanks for the info.

Since I got new update and already download full ROM, I will flash it through OrangeFox Recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Gueztar:
Ok. I've read the op and readme.md. We should not thick them both.

BUT. It still leave me some question.

There's a rom which need to flash vbmeta which will disable-verity, isnt it? Is it the same as in orangefox which we should not thicked? Its like a rom need to disable verity to get it booting and orangefox said no. It just confuse me.

Thanks in advance. And I really like the new orangefox :victory:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
I can't comment on vbmeta and why people think that it should be flashed - except that I also flashed it when moving from MIUI to custom ROMs, and this has not caused me any problem.

I have just unlocked the bootloader and I want to try the orange recovery , I can flash regularly it with the command" fastboot flash recovery " using the img?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] whalesplaho:
Its a zip file.... Dnt think yhu can flash via fastboot unless there's an img file.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] hattorihansou:
You can find the .img file in the zip.

Flashing the .img via fastboot worked for me.

After flashing the .img reboot into recovery (power+volume up), without booting the system.

I have a question about the MIUI updates. I know that MIUI incremental OTA updates are not supported. But what is the reason for that?

I am asking because I am using the OrangeFox Recovery on my Pocophone F1 and it is possible there. The Redmi Note 7 has MIUI, the Pocophone has MIUI. What is the difference that it is possible on the Pocophone and not on the Redmi Note 7?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
Because it doesn't work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mark_at:
this I understood before asking :)

You have no idea what the difference could be and why it does not work?

Would it work if I would use the same OrangeFox version that I use on my Pocophone or would that bring me troubles?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
If I did, we would not be having this conversation.

Sure - if you are looking for a serious brick.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mark_at:
One last question about it: the OrangeFox gets developed by different people, yes? The one for the Pocophone got developed by some other person it seems. (at least the thread on XDA was started by someone else)

Would it make sense if you and the other guy would exchange thoughts/knowledge etc.? I really wonder why one phone can do OTA updates with OFRP and another not.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
:mad::mad::mad:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mark_at:
why mad? I am sure most people would be happy if OTA would work. I have impression that you do not mind about it . . .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Tatoh:
You realize that is not something like you just do, right? It takes time and effort to port or develop that kind feature, maybe you can develop yourself if you like to please the people.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mark_at:
I never wrote that it can be done easily. But if I ask the developer about the reason why it works on one phone and not on another, and he can not give me one answer that makes sense, then I wonder!

And about the time and effort: I did not get an answer about that too . . . did he try to implement the OTA? What could be the difference why it does work on one phone and another not? Nothing!

If you are satisfied with his answer . . . good! I am not!

And it is not about pleasing people. It is about having the best OrangeFox possible. And that includes the OTA implementation, which made OrangeFox so outstanding.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Walden0:
I understand that the other guy's response was inappropriate, but to throw some light upon your enquiry..

It's not a matter of both devices having MIUI but both devices having different hardware and the implementation of recoveries. Android is very complex to get customizations working , not many developers here understand the base completely , adding further that there are changes in the OS every year by google that might be unknown to the developers. Thus , it is common for something to work on one device and not on the other despite the similarities among the two. ( Wonder why an app would crash on a particular version of android and not on the other , or on one device with similar android versions?)

Also , As I can assume why OF for lavender doesn't have this feature because probably it wasn't implemented by the dev as it is of no use for him. A developer has to work on many things so he tries as much as possible to keep himself focussed on the essential parts.

Regarding his reply with emojis , these emojis are not to show 'anger' towards the question. You can look it up here , although it is evident from the emoji itself.

https://emojipedia.org/grimacing-face/

Nonetheless, if you wanted the feature to be implemented, you could simply request it. He didn't explicitly say that he won't add the feature.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mark_at:
Wow! This is an answer that really has some information in it, thanks a lot!

I knew that android can be very complex, but did not think about hardware differences.

Actually I had expected some similar answer from the developer of this OrangeFox variant. Or at least some thoughts about the OTA implementation, if he had tried, if it is not important to him etc. But to tell me that it does not work is no news and will not help anyone in this forum.

So a big thank you once again from my side for your answer. I wish more people here would have the same spirit and mentality.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Walden0:
Thanks for your warm welcome but I find your post to be a bit of demeaning towards the dev. Trust me , Him and the other guy Mryacha worked really hard to make better something that was being overlooked by others. These two alone are maintaining most of the devices that OF project supports which is quite time consuming. It is expected then that they are not able to repsond to every user. They still keep the suggestions in mind and work on it whenever possible.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mark_at:
I did not doubt that the dev did great work. And I appreciate every developer who shares his work here on XDA. This community here would be nothing without their input and their work.

And I know how frustrating it can be when people are just demanding and give negative feedback.

But I simply wanted to know why there is no OTA implementation when it exists for other phones.

And any constructive answer would have made me happy, any information, any personal thought. But I did not get anything except "does not work". And for me that is not enough, sorry!

Hi, i just updated xiaomi.eu weekly with OTA, but there is info about that OTA updates are not available on miui. I just clicked "checked MD5 and install", did i do everythings good?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fenixq:
Done.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
This doesn't show the update process for what you flashed, but it also doesn't disclose any problem. I am therefore presuming that you flashed a full ROM, rather than an OTA incremental package, because trying to flash an incremental package will not work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fenixq:
The file that i installed was 1.7GB, i downloaded file from app on miui called "Updates" and then it automatically redirected me to Orange Fox and just installed without any errors.

I noticed that after i generated recovery log my battery goes +10%, any ideas what could cause that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
That is a full ROM. It should install fine - as it obviously did.

Nope.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] gardiol:
To be honest, the guy is not wrong. The answer from the dev was a bit short and rude. Of course it's the dev rights to do so!

But I can feel a big change in xda since a few years ago which I don't like. It used to be a great community full of people helping and sharing, now it has turned in a place full of demanding and rude users who turned the devs skin hard, so often also the devs are rude. More than often devs do not even share trees and sources which is very toxic for everybody. OF dev for lavander is a great guy tough, I am not specific to him.

This makes me sad, a lot.

[MENTION=5850987]DarthJabba9[/MENTION] I happily use your latest stable release of the OF and I have two questions related to complete restore.

1) I perform the backup of the boot, data, and what difference is the "vendor image" and vendor, same thing for system or "system image". What changes?

2) When I have to make a total backup (excluding internal storage), I always remove any screen lock pattern, whether it's scrolling or password, I set it to "none". So I proceed with the backup of boot, data, system image and vendor image generally (where I hope to have clarity in point 1), but when I have to restore the backup, the encryption appears to me anyway. Although I had repeated everything, I either formatted the given partition and tried to restore.

I apologize if I have dwelt, and I hope to have clarity in this regard.

Best regards sir.

Contradictory advice on encryption for OF

Summary: there is apparently contradictory advice on how to encrypt RN7 in preparation for OF install; what to do?

I'm looking to install a custom recovery and root my Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (RN7), currently bootunlocked and with current Global EU ROM PFGEUXM. This isn't new to me, I've rooted an Android phone before and installed things from recovery (TWRP). From what I've read, OrangeFox seems to be the best current recovery for the RN7. I've read everything I could find, but advice seems contradictory regarding encryption:

1. Advice with all recoveries is to encrypt RN7 before starting, to avoid problems due apparently to an MIUI/Android 9 for lavender bug. (OrangeFox RN7 FAQ: "The only solution at the moment is to encrypt your device.").

2. The way I've seen to encrypt the RN7 is to set a lock password, then encrypt (which uses the lock PW) and set a new lock PW. I've done this, and know both passwords.

3. But my procedure 2. is contradicted in post #142:

Q: if i set phone lockscreen (with PIN, Password or Pattern) every reboot to System or Recovery always asks for code.

A: This is a ROM issue. It happens either because you answered "Yes" on the "Secure startup" screen when setting the lockscreen password in your ROM, or you encrypted your data with your lockscreen password. If you do either of these, you are stuck with that situation unless you format data, and then let the ROM encrypt again, using default password - and when next you ever see the "Secure startup" screen again, always answer "No".

So I ask:

a. How should I encrypt the (non-rooted) phone before installing OrangeFox to minimise problems (e.g., need to format data)?

b. If I have encrypted the phone in the wrong way, how can I unencrypt it without data loss?

While these are not issues with OrangeFox itself, they are requirements to install it, so I hope not too off-topic.

Thanks and best wishes

This should be a separate post, but it gets appended to the earlier one, apologies.

[/COLOR]Following my question on how to encrypt the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 (RN7) preparatory to installing OrangeFox, I would like to ask, again preparing for possible data loss when installing OF, what is the best way to back up a non-rooted RN7 phone? Before unlocking the bootloader I backed up using the Xiaomi backup option in Setup, backing up to a local file rather than a server somewhere, copying the backup file off the phone before unlocking. The backup, and subsequent restore, worked with no problem. Phone settings and most applications and their data were restored successfully; but some apps simply disappeared, with their data. Google backup (to their servers) warns that large files and some other things may not be backed up. What is the best (non-root) backup to use before installing OrangeFox?

Thanks and best wishes
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] DarthJabba9:
Crikey! What complexity! The only "preparation" required in order to install OrangeFox or any other recovery is to have a full backup of your data and internal storage (to an external storage medium). And this is only so that you have the possibility to restore your data if something goes wrong.
