Installation procedure:

There are two methods to install OrangeFox

A) Via a recovery (for those with TWRP installed):

1. To install an OrangeFox zip, flash it with OrangeFox (or any TWRP-compatible custom recovery) without any wipes.

2. Do the same thing if you want to upgrade OrangeFox

3. When you flash an OrangeFox zip, there is no need to flash any DFE or any other such thing

4.To install an OrangeFox img file, boot into fastboot mode, and run the command: fastboot flash recovery OrangeFox-xyz.img

B) Via Fastboot (For those without a recovery):

You need a PC for this. If you do not have a PC, or access to a PC, then you are stuck!

1. Unlock your bootloader (if not already unlocked)

2. Install adb, fastboot and the relevant USB drivers onto your PCs)

3. Download the correct OrangeFox zip file to your phone, and to your PC

4. Extract recovery.img from the OrangeFox zip file, and copy recovery.img to your PC’s adb directory

5. Reboot your phone into fastboot/bootloader mode

6. Open up a command line window / terminal emulator on your PC

7. Change to the adb directory on your PC

8. Flash OrangeFox Recovery by using the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command

9. Reboot into OrangeFox by pressing the power + volume down keys, until you see the OrangeFox splash screen

11. After OrangeFox has booted up, check that everything is working – eg, that it has mounted the data partition successfully, and that the touchscreen works.

12. Find and select the OrangeFox zip on your phone, tap on it, and swipe to install it (because OrangeFox Recovery needs some files from the zip)

After installation, the phone will automatically reboot into OrangeFox

Enjoy!
