Link for latest official Flamingo. Besides, pls update that I now confirm few more ROMS : PalyrimOS, ReloadedOS ( Community build - CLO ) , P404 6.1 ( Community build, CLO )
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Thanks. But I need links to the ROMs' official download pages or official support pages. I can't update the list until I have these.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] LinhBT:
You mean u'll need the link of all ROMs that I listed? If it is so, as u know that 3 out of 5 ROMs I listed are Community build, therefore, they only have Telegram Support. If thats ok, I will send the link
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Indeed. The object is so that anyone interested has a download link (ie, a sort of one-stop shop). It doesn't really matter whether they have a support thread here. Thanks.

Please feel free to send me the links by DM.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Updated the list of vendor_boot ROMs ...
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
The list has been updated.

It seems that quite a lot of newly released ROMs now use vendor_boot-as-recovery!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Rafsf:
Excuse me sir, so you mean that once installed in my PA case through adb I can install this ofox and through it I can install any rom of this type?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Yes. And you will need to manually reflash the recovery after flashing a ROM, because the ROM would have replaced it with its own recovery.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Unfortunately, most ROM maintainers who are releasing vendor_boot ROMs are omitting to document and highlight the fact that their ROM uses vendor_boot-as-recovery. Some users have already had disasters because of this omission.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] knowledge@heart:
Before asking you on that thread, i saw a "Reserved" post. Thanks for this.

And as i can see, its all Prayers and Hope.

On a serious note.

If i'm on AOSPA recovery. Can i do the same process? Everything same, just AOSPA recovery instead of Ofox recovery?

Like. Format Data on AOSPA Recovery - Flash Normal ROM on AOSPA Recovery - And Reboot to the Normal Recovery. (The Normal ROM would have its Recovery installed anyways). - Then Format Data and Reboot to System.

Should work i guess.

And this is really going to be important. Because once Android 14 releases, people are going to impulsively flash ROMs and get bricks.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
It should work. But I haven't tried it, so I don't know for sure.

Yes. And people are already getting bricks flashing vendor_boot ROMs and then flashing standard recoveries on them.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jnsson:
Is it hard brick or can you recovery the phone with lets say flash stock rom?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] LinhBT:
Basically its not hardbrick until now, but who knows. On the other hands, to us it may not be such a problem, but to most of users, its a DeathNote.

And yes, u can recover ur device by just flashing boot,dtbo,vendor_boot or the whole pack of stock rom, up to you.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Ram.h:
ok so i have a few questions because things are very different from the last time i flashed a rom.

1- if i want to install one of the aforementioned Roms and have Magisk at the same time. i used to backup my boot partition , patch it with magisk and then flash it again. is the process the same with vendor_boot Roms?

2- if i want to go back to miui in the future. do i just flash the stock rom with the flash tool like normal ?

thanks for the help
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
1. Should be no different with a vendor_boot ROM. I haven't tried it though (I always use OrangeFox to flash the Magisk apks).

2. That should be fine.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Ram.h:
Thanks alot 😁
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] knowledge@heart:
I guess lineageOS is also vendor boot. Kindly add that to the list as well.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Which release version? Also, I need a link to the download page.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] knowledge@heart:
Lineage 19.1 (A12) is vendor boot.

Link: https://download.lineageos.org/devices/alioth/builds
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Thanks for the link. But that Lineage ROM (20230513 release) is not vendor_boot. It is a standard ROM, which works perfectly well with the standard OrangeFox recovery.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] knowledge@heart:
Yes but just yesterday, the Dev replied to someone in the TG group that 19.1 is vendor boot.

The dev replied "Moved since 19.1" to the question.

Plus, the wiki requires flasing vendor_boot before flashing the boot image for recovery.

Link to the wiki: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/alioth/install/variant3

So this is a bit confusing to me now. Sorry!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
No worries. I can see how it it can be confusing, even for the LOS maintainer. Flashing a vendor_boot image (which many ROMs do as part of their installation anyway) isn't necessarily the same thing as using vendor_boot for the recovery (the vendor_boot partition can host a whole load of things not related to recovery).

The instructions in their wiki for flashing custom recoveries ("fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img") are for standard recoveries. The maintainer should have known that. You would

never

flash a vendor_boot recovery image to the boot partition. You will brick the device if you did that.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jnsson:
@DarthJabba9 Do you know if the newly released LineageOS 20 is a vendor_boot ROM? In the notes in Telegram it says the following: "Flash both vendor_boot.img and boot.img for recovery". Does this mean that it is a vendor_boot ROM or can we use normal recovery without risking bricking the device? Sources: https://t.me/pocoF3GlobalUpdates/1857
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
From what I can see, it is not a full vendor_boot ROM, even though its own recovery resources are in vendor_boot. The standard OrangeFox works fine with it (but if you want to use the ROM's own recovery, then you need to follow their instructions).

PS: the easiest way to test whether a ROM is full vendor_boot, after flashing the ROM, is to reboot to bootloader and then try to "fastboot boot" a standard recovery image. The recovery image will boot up fine if the ROM is not vendor_boot. If it is vendor_boot, it either will just boot into the ROM, or it won't boot at all (ie, a blank screen - in which case you can just use the power + volume up combination to reboot into recovery mode).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jnsson:
It is any easy way to tell if it's a full vendor_boot before flashing? Thanks for the info!
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
The only way is to ask the ROM's maintainers (assuming they are not confused about the issue).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] jnsson:
Ok, sucks that there is no easy way to tell :/

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] user0u:
The recovery installation instructions made me think so.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Yes, I can see how that could be confusing. But vendor_boot partitions can host any number of resources and different things, and a recovery ramdisk is only one of them. Many (if not all) custom ROMs store something or the other in the vendor_boot partition. But very few use vendor_boot-as-recovery. And ArrowOS is not one of them.

PS: if you unpack the vendor_boot image referred to in the installation instructions, you will see that it only contains a dtb and fstab, and no recovery resources. All the recovery stuff is in the boot image.

On the download website there are two options, you have a zip to install the Rom through recovery and another zip to install through adb, therefore it depends on which one you have downloaded.

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Rafsf:
I think there is a communication problem on the part of the developer, there is a Zip that can be installed only by adb and another that can only be installed through twrp but this is where you have to be attentive and that is twrp should not be reinstalled . You have to restart the topaz recovery and format the data from there to avoid errors. And once the topaz recovery is started you can't install, ofo etc It is possible to reinstall ofox, twrp, etc and use it but most likely it will suffer errors among others with its storage nothing extremely serious but the enjoyment of the rom will not be complete in

If I boot recovery.img phone will just turn itself off. Luckily it will boot normally after I press power button.

How can I switch from latest SKK recovery to OFOX?

I assume I have to flash the zip through installed recovery, but which one do I have to choose? Stable (non vendor boot) or Beta (vendor_boot)

[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
Possibly. It is certainly one of the main indicators (although some standard ROMs sometimes don't support "fastboot boot"). Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is to flash a vendor_boot recovery, and then see whether it boots (with "fastboot reboot recovery").
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] FreedomW:
is this also the method to return to MIUI ? after I format data, I still have Ofox but when i connect my phone to pc it just shows internal storage but i cant put the rom in it, basically im stuck on step3 since after formatting data mtp doesnt work it shows nothing on my pc

EDIT: okay so project elixir is still installed after formatting data, do i need to boot to rom after formatting data then go back to ofox and flash the new standard (miui) rom? will it overwrite project elixir ? sorry im new to these kind of vendor boot roms

EDIT2 : nvm after formatting data on step 3, I rebooted to system so orangefox can create the data/media folder, then i rebooted to ofox recovery again then flashed miui rom then ofox stable , everything works fine now!

The interesting thing about the latest EvoX is that it seems to be some sort of hybrid. If you

flash

a standard recovery on it, the installed recovery will boot and work well - but "fastboot boot" will not work (you will just get a black screen).

Moreover, If you flash the vendor_boot OrangeFox on it, that also will work well. Not only that, flashing the vendor_boot recovery also triggers being able to run fastboot boot (of the standard recovery) successfully.

:eek:Why would you want to flash a vendor_boot image to the vendor partition? It needs to be flashed to the vendor_boot partition.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] DarthJabba9:
If the ROM is a vendor_boot ROM, then do this:

1. Follow the steps here: https://xdaforums.com/t/vendor_boot-roms.4575777/#post-88422227

2. Once OrangeFox has booted, flash the ROM again

3. Format data

4. Flash the OrangeFox vendor_boot recovery zip (if you want OrangeFox)

5. Reboot to system, and hope for the best.

BTW: to recover your ROM, all you really need is to flash the ROM's boot.img to the boot partition, and the ROM should boot up fine after that. The recovery you have flashed replaces the boot image, and reflashing the ROM's boot image will fix that. The reason you have to go through all the steps outlined above is because the ROMs are released with payload.bin, and so don't normally have boot.img in the ROM zip, which is a real shame.

Warning: some alleged vendor_boot ROMs are very problematic in their interactions with recovery mode.
