[Redmi Note 11 (spes/spesn)] postafoa:
so yeah.. in bash history i only have how i managed to flash Orangefox.. this ofcourse after successfully installing crDroid, with crDroid recovery.. And once in crDroid recovery you need to atleast 'enable ADB' and maybe 'Apply update'

below pure unedited bash history.

About the earlier stages.. i'm old and poor, and my brain is mush, but somehow i figured it out using this thread so, for any newcomer, just ask.. and try..

This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.

I would note that that last command worked, and the phone then rebooted into a beautiful OrangeFox.
