Instructions to install OrangeFox ( Bootloader must be unlocked first!)

-- Download ADB. If you need help doing that view this page: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Redmi 8A OrangeFox R10.1 Recovery Download:
https://files.orangefox.tech/OrangeFox-Stable/olivelite/OrangeFox-R10.1-Stable-olivelite.zip
If you already have a custom recovery installed like TWRP or OrangeFox beta you can just flash this zip straight from your recovery.
If you're on stock recovery you can extract this ZIP archive to your ADB directory. For me it would be C:\adb
-- Plug in your Redmi 8A to your PC and boot to Fastboot mode using Power + Volume Down
Then open your C:\adb folder, hold SHIFT key and Right Click any empty space in the folder and click "Open PowerShell window here"
https://prnt.sc/r95uc8
Then in the PowerShell type the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
OrangeFox recovery should now be installed successfully. If you encounter a bootloop then go back to FastBoot mode and flash vbmeta using PowerShell again.
First download vbmeta and extract it to adb folder like before.
Download: https://yadi.sk/d/wZscZqwyqOOA4w
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot

Yes , zcx can flash anything you want. Guyver kernel for miui marshmallow (both stable and dev.). But why you want to flash Guyver kernel. There are many stable kernel available.

Requirements:
1.chaina fastboot rom(v11.0.3.0 needed)
2,chaina MIUI 12 beta stable recovery rom from here...
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V12.0.1.0.QJCCNXM/miui_LANCELOT_V12.0.1.0.QJCCNXM_79579275a0_10.0.zip
or
I extract system.img, vendor.img and product.img for you...
I attached a txt file with this post download and find link of 4 parts.. download all parts and get those 3 files.flash them via given instructions.no need to follow the extraction guide
3.A laptop with Linux os (python 2.7 or higher)
you can also use windows
4.Warking brain...
Step 1:
You need to make system.img,vendor.img and product.img from the recovery rom...
For system.img you need two file from zip
1.system.new.dat.br
2.system.transfer.list
Now you have to extract system.new.dat from system.new.dat.br via this cmd
brotli -d system.new.dat.br
After that you can make system.img..follow this link to do so..
https://github.com/danielmmmm/dat2img
For vendor and product repeat the process above.
Step 2;
Go to fastboot mood (not fastbootd mood)and connect your phone with PC
Extract chaina fastboot rom and go to image folder and run below cmd on terminal
fastboot flash super super.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
(Use vbmeta from this post not yours)
Now go phone recovery and warp all data....
Try to boot your device to check if any boot loop issue..
flash full fastboot rom is more safe or you get bootloop do not forget to flash vbmeta.img again
If no bootloop then go to recovery again and Now select number 3 option on your stock recovery and type this cmd
and reboot fastboot
Now you are in fastbootd mood
Go to file directory where you make 3 IMG file and run this cmd
fastboot flash system system.img (you muat get"invaild sparec image...." Error,ignor it)
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash product product.img
maintain this flash sequence
After doing so again go to recovery and wape data now reboot your device and enjoy MIUI 12
Bonus;The system.img which you made can be use as gsi.you can install it on any redmi 9 rom without flash boot and super partition... although some options can not be found like new notification panel

with the help of @gr0ndpa, thanks to him.....
FLASH GSI​
Now I will explain how to flash easily with files attached

to check if phone recognised
6/
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
once in fast boot
7/
Code:

8/
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
9/

Flash ROM​
This now how to flash ROM on your device, it's convenient for all roms like LOS, corvus, awaken...
First you need all the proper drivers installed and unlocked bootloader, USB debugging all of that stuff.
Now open up a cmd/terminal , and put the files i sent and the ROM file in the folder from where you're opening the cmd/terminal and connect the phone (you may need to put ./ as an suffix for all the commands if you're on linux)
Type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type
Code:
fastboot devices
to see if everything is ok
Then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img
(you can drag and drop the file instead of typing it)
After that's done type
Code:
fastboot flash vendor_boot_ab vendor_boot.img
(you can drag and drop this too if you want)
Code:
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
(you can drag and drop this too if you want)
After that's done type
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
This will boot you into a recovery and now you need to go to wipe and format data
After that go to apply update then adb sideload then
In the cmd type
Code:
adb sideload rom.zip
for example (you put the ROM zip here you can drag and drop it)
Wait for that to finish it will go to 47% and on the phone it will show step 1/2 then step 2/2
and when it's done it's gonna show an error
adb: failed to read command: No error
Then you can reboot to system

General [SHARED][RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][fleur] TWRP-3.7.0 ONLY FOR A11

Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project or TWRP for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind.

It's a fully touch driven user interface , no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Changelog:
• Updated sources to latest
• Almost Everything working fine.
Only for MIUI 13 Android 11

It seems Poco M4 Pro is not supported by TWRP and OrangeFox and that this unofficial TWRP is only for Android 11..
In my case I rooted (with magisk) from the latest ROM with Android 12..
And then installed LineageOS (Android 13). Everything works fine..
But I want to have a custom recovery for installing e.g. Gapps...
How can I do that?
Or do I need to rollback to previous ROM, install this TWRP then root with magisk and then go and install Lineage OS (and in that case I will still have TWRP and rooted)?
Thanks for any details..

Once you have lineageos installed, you must to flash twrp via fastboot and then flash Gapps
1. Flash system ( when it's done, don't reboot phone, just flash twrp
2. If you already are on twrp flash your Google apps
3. When you're done with flashing gapps, restart phone to system (twrp will be gone after reboot)
4. You have installed Gapps
i don't know how to flash twrp permanently, if you want further informations about this recovery, then join fleur telegram development channel

Hello and thanks for the reply..
Currently when I'm installing LineageOS I do the following:
Code:
# SMINORI SCRIPT
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot getvar is-userspace
fastboot erase system
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot flash system system.img
# <- here?
fastboot reboot recovery
Do you mean that after installing LineageOS above, I need to run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
# Booting in TWRP despite the error
adb sideload gapps_file.zip
And then just install Gapps using the TWRP GUI?

fastboot reboot recovery
Also tried using only the commands you gave:
