Hi guys,

Just installed this recovery recently and all is well so far

Just one thing.... I cant see an "install" button anywhere to install ROMs or other zip files?

Can someone enlighten me please :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarthJabba9:
There is no install button. Just tap on a file in the new file explorer ("Files" tab), and you will see the options of what you can do with that file.

Sorry if it has been answered before guys but I am trying to format system, data and cache in orange fox

But when I go into "manage partition" in orange fox, there is no "format" option there.

All can see is "resize FS", "Repair FS" and "change FS"

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to format system, data and cache?

Thanks guys

Thanks - but the video is not of much use. What is required is the recovery log and the kernel log. Since you seem to be the only one with this problem, I think you need to explain what is different about your device and others (particularly the ROM, the firmware, and the details of the display panel).

I guess its because i changed the performance setting to battery save as pointed out by orangefox telegram member "Chester bin Nington". Right now everything is fine.

Hello [MENTION=5850987]DarthJabba9[/MENTION]

Thank you very much for this great recovery. I've been using TWRP for a while now and a few days ago I came across this project. Very nice! :)

Just a few days ago I flashed MIUI 11 based on Android 10. Your recovery supports FBE encryption with the new OS. That's really good. After booting into recovery it asks for the password and then decrypts the files successfully. Then I made a backup of of my data partition and went back to the old OS with an old TWRP backup to extract some files. So far so good. After that I restored the first mentioned backup. Restoring caused no error. During the entire process I did not reboot. So restoring the old backup, extracting the files and restoring the first backup - all within one 'session'. To come to an end: The devices doesn't boot anymore. It stays on the splash screen until it reboots into recovery. Then I checked the FBE and found all files except /data/media unencrypted. So now all the app stuff is unencrypted and my internal storage is encrypted. OrangeFox doesn't ask for a password on boot. It just writes "E:Error making /sdcard/Fox directory: Required key not available" to the log window.

I really hope, you have an idea... If you need more information, please tell me, what I can send you.

--- edit ---

Sorry... My bad... I restored the backup once again and got encrypted files in data too, not only in /data/media. Also OrangeFox is asking for a pw on boot now. But system still doesn't boot after restore.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarthJabba9:
No, I do not. You talk about old backup, old OS, old TWRP, etc., and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. With no logs, I would not even dare to speculate.

One thing - I am not surprised at all that your device doesn't boot. In fact, I would have been very surprised if it did boot, after all that you described above (because if one was looking for a guaranteed way to brick a device, they could not do better than what you have just described).

My advice - wipe cache+dalvik,

format

your data partition (which will also wipe your internal storage - so I hope that your backup was to an external storage device), reboot the recovery, flash MIUI 11 afresh, and boot up the system. When it has finished booting, and make sure that the storage is encrypted. Then, if you are feeling brave, reboot to recovery and restore the MIUI 11 backup, and hope for the best.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

Clean-flashing means wipe caches and data. There is never any need to manually wipe system or vendor.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] masdaster:
Okay... First of all: Thank you for your fast reply.

Just to clarify: I made a backup (backup 1) with TWRP of MIUI10 (/data). After flashing MIUI11 I realized that one app has not synced my data to the cloud service. To get the data I booted to OrangeFox recovery and made again a backup (backup 2) of MIUI11 (/data). Then I restored backup 1 and extracted the files. After that I restored backup 2 to get back to MIUI 11. So I've never changed /system, /vendor or /boot and never booted to system within this process. As far as I know is it safe to go this way. I did it a few times before with other OS. Please explain to me, why this should not work as intended. I would really appreciate that. :)

I did that already but with no success.

Regarding logs:

Just tell me, what you would like to have if you want to investigate the issue. So far I tried to get a logcat during boot, but system failes before starting adbd.

--- edit ---

I've got a ramoops file. Is this helpful?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] DarthJabba9:
I don't need to explain anything. You have already seen for yourself that it does "not work as intended". We can debate the theories or why/why not, until The Second Coming, but the reality is that you have just proved that it doesn't work.

What I will say is this - MIUI 11 is not to be trifled with. This is not the first time (nor will it be the last) that someone has encountered major issues with MIUI 11 data. In most cases, the real solution is to flash a full MIUI 10 fastboot ROM with the Mi Flash tool, and to start all over again. Even that itself is not entirely without risk. I would definitely

not

recommend flashing a MIUI 11 fastboot ROM because I have read horror stories of irrecoverable bricks messing with it (eg, flashing a fastboot ROM with the Mi flash tool - which should

never

cause any problem at all - but go figure ...).

What I need is the recovery logs taken after restoring the backups, and after flashing MIUI 11.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] masdaster:
Thank you again. I did not know that MIUI11 is so tricky with backing up and restoring data. Next time I will be more careful.

For now I would suggest to just skip this. I tested restoring a backup during setting up MIUI again. It worked flawlessly. So even with my setup OrangeFox does the job. :) As you mentioned, the entire problem might be my strange restore process in combination with MIUI.

For future situations:

What would you suggest for backing up MIUI11? If there are so many issues with backups and so on, would you still rely on nandroid backups? Or would you suggest some other way?

(And yes, I have got a backup of nearly all files. So it was just a little bit of work without a big data loss to get my device ready again...)

How is the display quality? On par with the Samsung amoleds? Need quality over branding.

Where are you from and how much did you pay?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] OC-Freak:
The display is great, I can't see any quality difference comparing this to my Samsung A70. The calibration is slightly different "out of the box" tho, Mi 9T has slightly cold/blueish tint whites while A70 has warm yellowish whites. The Mi 9T feels slightly oversaturated (colors are slightly too intense, but this also makes image look like they have better contrast). The A70 has a more "true to life" calibration. Both have impressive max brightness, outdoor use is no problem.

I ordered the phone the exact day it was put up for sale on aliexpress, from the seller fantacy which I've had good experience with earlier as well. And sure enough the phone arrived just over two weeks later here in Norway. Paid $374 for the 128Gb, I have seen it as low as $335 for the 128Gb or $295 for the 64Gb after coupons on aliexpress during the midsummer sale. Ordering early never gives you the best price ;)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] suvam69:
You got dc dimming update? And please give a small feedback about the overall build quality.. Does it feel cheap anyways? And also the in hand feel (8.8mm thicc:-\).. And any other noticeable thing about this phone you didn't like or something?

Ps. What about the standard display mode. Offers better true to life colors right?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] OC-Freak:
As for DC dimming I have no idea. I know what it is, but not how to check if I have it. Not noticed any eyestrain during low brightness so far, but not sure if I am able to notice the difference. (Not all people notice the PWM flicker).

The inhand feel is good, but this is no light phone! The most perfect phone I've used lately is Mi 9 SE, 6" screen and 155 grams is perfect size.

It has the best in-screen fingerprint reader I've used. (A70 one is soooo crappy, slow and 50% failure rate).

Nothing to dislike so far, maybe except the price is slightly high compared to chinese Redmi k20 pro which can be had for $387 with 128Gb storage now with SD855, but K20 pro misses LTE band 20 which I need.

I also have my concerns about the popup camera, how will dust/dirt affect it over time? But this is a concern for any phone with popup camera.
