Alright thx for the answer (y):cool:
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] marcdw:
Just wanted to say, very nice recovery. Working fine on my KB2007 kona (T-Mobile, switched to Euro firmware and thus, kebab).

Was on crDroid, decided to go back to Carbon, going back to stock first. OrangeFox failed to flash the OOS OTA zip for some reason. Used regular TWRP to flash it. After that I commenced to install Carbon via the instructions in its thread just to see how far I would get. Not very.

Installed OrangeFox again and flashed Carbon, MinMicroG, couple of other items, and then Magisk. Whole process went without a hitch. Everything up and running fine.

Have to still get used to the recovery's layout but I'm really liking it. Kudos.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Thank you :)

Yes I like OrangeFox as well. It is a very nice recovery. I had it on my Oneplus 6t already and when I got the Oneplus 8t I wanted to have OrangeFoxc back but I still had to wait a bit because OrangeFox was not supporting VAB (Virtual A/B) devices at the time I got my 8t.

When I saw that the devs of OrangeFox had implemented VAB I tried to build my first Version for the 8t and got it working.

I am running Carbon ROM as well right now. Really nice ROM and I like that it comes without all the Google apps.

I tried AEX (Android 12) as well, but then I got some strange issues after I installed Magisk by some reason it could not mount "data" anymore and everything I tried to flash from recovery or ADB sideload failed with "failed to mount /data (invalid argument).

Not sure what caused that so I had to MSM back to StockOOS and now I am on Carbon ROM.

I will wait for the next Update of the AEX 12 ROM to give that a try again.

I can't find v5 in Mega, the only version available it's v2
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Strange.....Yes I just saw it. Seems that all the other Versions got removed by some reason.

I will reuploaded the latest Version again now.

EDIT: Seems that is some temporary issue witrh Mega or something. When I log in to my Mega account I can see all the Versions up to V5. When I am not logged in I only see V2 right now by some reason.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
If you click the double arrow on the left to expand the list, then hide it again, all versions appear. It's a Mega display problem. They're actually all there.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Yes you are correct. :)
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hello!

I have just uploaded V6 with the latest OrangeFox R11.1 changes!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
Thank you. Same expand/hide trick (above) is required to see the new version.

I've just flashed it - no problems, and working fine. Thank you again.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Yes I saw that. Seems to be due to some issue with Mega.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Hitman478™:
You're right. this method it's working, thanks to all guys!

Downloading v6
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] datonedude:
Hi, I've just installed this and am quite happy with how smoothly it runs. Is it possible to flash roms based on Android 12 with this? Or are we limited to Android 11 rn?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
I installed crDroid 8.1 Android 12 with Orangefox. It worked when TWRP did not.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Okazakee:
Can you tell us if it can now decrypt user storage on A12?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
There is no recovery yet wich can decrypt data on Android 12.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Pax988:
Awesome recovery works great good job
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Okazakee:
does it depend on some open source stuff that oneplus should release?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
No that has nothing with Oneplus to do. The Orangefox or recovery devs needs to implement encryption for Android 12.

I know that some people are already looking into this but I guess it will take some more time until that will work.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Okazakee:
Omg I thought that this was a device problem not a major android version problem, thanks for replies, keep up with the nice work mate!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi all!

I have just build and updated a new Version V7 with the latest OrangeFox R11.1 Changes. :)

Files are updated in the download Link in the OP.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] wtfbengt:
Hi, I've just flashed this and booted into recovery just fine, but when trying to install a custom rom it just says "flashing A/B zip to inactive slot: B

updating...

...done

devices on super may not mount until rebooting to recovery (I have rebooted, both to system and recovery)

To flash additonal zips, please reboot recovery to switch to the updated slot.

Error installing zip file"

what does switching slots mean and how do I do it?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
When you flash a ROM, it will get flashed to the inactive slot. Therfor you have to reboot to recovery again after flashing a ROM so that you are on the other slot (where the ROM got installed to) and then you can flash additional zips like Gapps, or Magisk from there so that they get installed on the slot where the ROM is installed on.

When you got "error installing zip file" it seems that something went wrong when flashing the ROM.

What ROM have you tried to flash and what Android Version is that on?

If it is a Android 12 or 12.1 ROM you can try to "adb sideload" the ROM after setting Orangefox in sideload mode from the options menu.

Also there is a log file written to the folder /Fox where you could find more information about what went wrong.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BrickL0rd:
so i fastboot flashed the recovery and now i cant boot into my rom anymore. help pls. i had a running evolution x a12 rom

flashed back old recovery - still boots into OF on system boot
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

Hmmm strange.

Which command did you use for flashing the recovery? Fastboot flash recovery?

Which OOS do you had as base before you flashed Evolution X.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] wtfbengt:
edit: forgot to press reply, how do I delete posts
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] wtfbengt:
I was on OOS11 tried both derp something and nameless AOSP, someone on discord said both orangefox and twrp don't work on OnePlus and I need to use lineage recovery.

Or could it also be that I was trying to go an android 12 os from Android 11?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BrickL0rd:
i had latest OOS11 before. and i flashed with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sadly i had to reflash evoX. seems that i cant use OF.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
OK. That should be fine.

Strange, I have used Orangefox now with a lot of different custom ROMs on my Oneplus 8t and never had any issues like that.

Did you ever had OOS12 flashed on your phone?

Then I would guess that the issue is that your A and B partitions are on a different OOS Version now which could cause issues.

You can flash the copy-partitions.zip to keep your A and B slots on the same OOS/Firmware level.

Also when you got that issue where it would not boot into your ROM/system, you can try to do a format data from OrangeFox (which will of course wipe all your data) and then try to boot to the ROM again.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Nandeh:
Hi and thanks for your work.

I haven't flashed any custom yet on 8T, but I'm coming from MI A2 that works too with A/B partitions and I understood the way it works.

In 8t, flashing OFox makes it permanent or I must reflash it after flashing a ROM?

And I have read that I must do something related to partitions previous to flash first custom ROM, do you know what I'm talking about? sorry for not to give more info...

Thanks in advanced.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

You will need to reflash OrangeFox after flashing a custom ROM, as the ROM mostly will flash the recovery which is coming with the ROM.

I guess you mean copy-partitions ?

So, before flashing a custom ROM you should make sure that you are on the latest OOS11 (which is OOS 11.0.13.13) on both slots.

The copy-partitions script is copying the data of the partitions to the other slot so that you are in sync on both slots before flashing a custom ROM.

Espacially if you are coming from OOS12 you need to downgrade to OOS11 before flashing a custom ROM and when you do that using MSMdownloadtool, that will only flash to one of the slots, so you use copy-partitions afterwards to have both slots synced with the latest OOS11 before going ahead.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Nandeh:
Thank you mate. I'm right now in last OOS11, exactly at the version you wrote. Should I use copy-partitions script before flash my first custom?

Greetings!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi! :)

I uploaded a new Version with the latest OrangeFox R11.1 changes

R11.1 V8 07-May-2022

- Synced with latest OrangeFox R11.1 changes

I have moved the latest download from Mega to Github now.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheArt.:
I am already on a custom ROM. How do I check if my firmware is 11.0.13.13 or something else?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
It is difficult to check that exactly if you are already on a custom ROM but you can just flash the latest Firmware to be sure that you have the latest OOS11 Firmware on both slots.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] TheArt.:
Can you point me of how to flash latest firmware? I saw the msm tool but seems like it is to unbrick phones. I also do not find official (from direct source so to speak) firmwares from OnePlus, I see here on xda only repacked version to flash via fastboot etc.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
here
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sakun-ice:
How can I update the recovery when I'm on a custom rom and with magisk installed?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
I am not sure if it will work to preserve root on an Update.

I just reflash Magisk after I flashed the custom ROM Update and Orangefox recovery.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sakun-ice:
The steps then are... Update recovery and re-flash magisk? In the past, with other smartphones, if I flashed the recovery and rebooted I would lose the boot to ROM. That's why I'm afraid and ask before doing anything.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
- Flash ROM Update

- Flash Orangefox

- reboot to recovery

- flash Magisk

- reboot to System
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] sakun-ice:
If I already have the latest version of the ROM, can I skip the first step?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

I uploaded a new Version with the latest OrangeFox R11.1 changes

R11.1 V9 01-June-2022

- Synced with latest OrangeFox R11.1 changes

FYI

I see that the Orangefox Team is still working on the new Version R12.1 which will support Android 12 but that Version is not ready to build it yet as it still seems to have many bugs and issues.

As soon they fully release it I will build it for our Oneplus 8t.

Stay tuned!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Okazakee:
And i'm still here waiting for that build, keep up the good work! <3
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lenox30:
How soon will there be a release with support for A12?) very very necessary
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
I dont know when that will be ready.

I can see that the Orangefox Team is working on a R12.1 Version of Orangefox but not sure when that will be ready to use.

I hope sometime during the next months.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lenox30:
Hello dud, how are the successes? Is there any hope that you will be able to recover in the near future? Does it make sense to wait?) And then my phone has been lying for a month now and is waiting for the recovery for 12 android.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
I dont know when the Orangefox team is releasing an updated Version of Orangefox for 12.1 .

I saw that there is a Version of 12.1 for some other device but as far as I saw it it still is not fully working so nothing I can use right now to build it for Oneplus devices.

So I guess we just have to wait.....
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Good news. 😊

Orangefox R12.1 got released now.

During the next week I can try to build it for the Oneplus 8t.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jaa.:
Thats Great! cant wait!

can any one tell me how to get/download recovery.img from phone via fastboot commands

i booted this recovery and took all required partitions

Great, eagerly waiting
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
I tried to build Orangefox R12.1 yesterday and got some weird error which I have no clue right now where it comes from.

I have to figure out that so I assume it will take me some more days to get that done.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
FYI

I have some good news. The errors I got when trying to build have nothing to do with me device tree or Orangefox 12.1 sources.

Seems that my Linux I am using has some hick ups or something when trying to build for fox_12.1

Another one could successfully build Orangefox 12.1 using my Oneplus 8t device tree.

So there is good hope that I am able to build it now during the weekend.

I hope I can get that to work now. :)
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi all!

The first initial build of OrangeFox R12.1 is available now.

Changelog

R12.1 17-July-2022

- Initial Version of OrangeFox R12.1 for the Oneplus 8t

The download link is updated in the OP.

Note: OrangeFox R12.1 is synced with the latest TWRP 12.1 changes but by some reason the decryption of data is still not working now on our device!

Seems that it is a bit more complicated on Oneplus devices.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mattwheat:
So can this be flashed if we are already on Android 12 or do we need to go back to Android 11 to flash this?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Yes you can flash it on Android 12 but it can still not decrypt data on Android 12.

Seems that it is a bit more complicated to get that fixed on Onplus devices.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mattwheat:
Oh ok. Thank you. Yeah I come from the pixel 4xl and it's the same issue with twrp on it.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] BillGoss:
Tried it out just now and...

Flashed the recovery image and booted into recovery. Phone rebooted a few times and eventually left me in stock OOS recovery.

I rebooted to bootloader and checked the active slot: it had switched from a to b.

I've seen this happen with TWRP on OOS 12 because the phone cannot successfully boot up recovery and falls back to the previously slot.

I switched back to slot a and then tried to fastboot boot orange-recovery.img but that did nothing.

So I restored the stock recovery and rebooted the phone and I'm back where I started.

I'm on KB2005_11_C.21
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

Ahh ok.

I assume it is not working when on OOS12 right now.

I have not flashed OOS12 yet, so could not test that.

I am on a Android 12.1 custom ROM right now.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
This inital OrangeFox R12.1 Version is not working when on OOS12 right now, also data can not be decrypted with this inital OrangeFox R12.1 Version (when on Android 12.x custom ROMs).

Need to wait for a more updated TWRP source with Android 12.1 for our device.

I know that this is wip but not sure when it is done and available!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] MirageSteezyBoi:
Does it work for custom ROMs yet? Also, thank you for putting in the work to bring orangefox to our beloved device.

Edit: I'm stupid.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
OK I guess I know what to do now to get Android 12 decryption working now.

Will implement and try that out in the next days. :)

Personally, I prefer to have all the conversations in XDA.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Drymarchon:
Hey, at least its one step closer to finally switching to the new firmware. :)
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Yes I am a step closer now, I have updated it now with OOS12 files but still no luck in getting the decryption of data working.

Guess I have to add/update some more things to get that working.

Seems to me now that it is not even trying to decrypt now since something is missing or not yet updated.

Have to dive deeper into this to understand what more needs to be fixed /updated now.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] The Apostle:
Very exciting to see this.

[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] GbnrVR:
Do u have encryption
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Wait for the new OrangeFox Update based on the new TWRP which can decrypt data. :)

The new TWRP can decrypt data on my Onplus 8t now but when I build OrangeFox out of it it was not working now.

Guess I would need a few more days to get that fixed.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
Good news, but the TWRP website says A12 is still in progress and 3.6.2 was published on 1st June. Is there another later version? Looking forward to flashing Orangefox as a permanent recovery.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Yes there is a new TWRP Version from today.

I guess the dev will release it later today so will not post it here now but I have test that and it can decrypt data on Android 12.

I will build a new OrangeFox release out of it soon.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi all! :cowboy:

A new Update to OrangeFox recovery is uploaded now.

It is now synced with the latest TWRP 3.6.2-11 done by ApexLegend007

Changelog:

R12.1 V2 27-July-2022

- This Version should be unified now to work on the Oneplus 8t and 9r

- Updated with changes from new TWRP 3.6.2-12

- Based on OOS12 now

- fixed decryption of Data when on Android 12

Note:

You need to be on latest OOS12 Firmware on both slots in order to flash this new OrangeFox Version to the recovery partition.

Just booting it with fastboot boot Orangefox OrangeFox-R12.1-Unofficial-OnePlus8T-V2.img will work when on OOS11 Firmware as well.

The download link is updated in the OP.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Okazakee:
Can i flash this on nameless with a11 fw, backupp all, upgrade fw, rom and then restore data or restore all if i want to rollback?

Edit: I have now fully read op, my bad
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
When you are on A11 FW you should be able to fastboot boot it and do your things.

Fastboot flash it to the recovery partition will only work when on OOS12 Firmware!
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
Just so that I'm clear, do you mean that it won't work as a permanent recovery on (for example) crDroid 12.1? Not a big problem, since I gather that it will work as a temporary boot.

Edit: 15 minutes later. Excellent! It worked perfectly. For the first time in 18 months I have a recoverable system image. Thank you so much.

Can anyone advise on which partitions to back up? I've read the Orangefox wiki (link below) which recommends Boot, Data, Super, Internal, Persist (though not to restore Persist unless absolutely required). In the old Nexus 6 days with a single partition I backed up and restored everything except Cache & Dalvik, and it got me back exactly to where I was when I backed up. Any advice on backing up and restoring would be much appreciated. I've backed up everything on the Orangefox list, which I suspect is overkill, and is 18GB... :)

@Wishmasterflo

Could you please advise on my question about flashing Orangefox in crDroid 12.1? Do you think it's safe or would you advise against it? Thank you.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Is cdDroid based on OOS11 or OOS12 Firmware?

If it is on OOS12 FW then you can flash it, if it is on OOS11 Firmware it will not work to boot into recovery if you flash it, but you can fastboot boot it.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
Thanks. It's based on OOS12. I think I'll risk it. At worst I have a recovery image... :)

I'll let you know. Thanks again.

Edit: No, you're right. I flashed recovery and the screen went black and the device wouldn't respond even to a long press of the power button. Fortunately volume up & power boots into the ROM, so no great problem. When I used Franco's Simple Reboot to get to recovery, I went back to the same unresponsive black screen. Pity, but you did warn me... :)

P.S. You mentioned TWRP 3.6.2_12, but it's still not on the TWRP.me site. Where did you find it?
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Aelliaria:
I'm on Cdroid but can't install orange fox, If i sideload it on Cdroid recovery it says something like: magisk boot image wasnt detected quitting!

If I boot organe fox, and then install it, it installs correctly but after a reboot I get black screen and need to reflash ROM in fastboot

Does that mean i'm not on latest OOS12 firmware?

Thnx in advance
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] dahawthorne:
Seriously? Did you not read my post directly before yours?

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude, but it's important to read all the info before you get into difficulties. We all want to help, but you have to do your research before acting or posting.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Wishmasterflo:
Hi!

Yes exactly, you need to be on OOS12 Firmware on both slots in order to flash Orangefox, otherwise you will end up in that black screen, but there is hope that this issue can be fixed soon.

Stay tuned.

P.s. But you can fastboot boot Orangefox when you are not on OOS12 Firmware, that will work.
[OnePlus 8T ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Aelliaria:
Thnx for the quick response mate!

Can i just update firmware from Firmware thread or isnt this latest?
