In this exact post we are going to use Orange Fox Recovery as it seems to be the most suitable one. Also because the Fox Recovery tool works pretty much on every Curtana and Miatol devices.

Flashing Redmi Note 9S using any recovery: TWRP, Orange Fox, PBRP & TRB

So, to begin with, we will need the unlocked bootloader, custom TWRP installed with any working firmware on your device. It’s highly recommended to have an SD card, so we can flash from it, and not from internal memory.

Before starting the flashing process: download all required files firstly. Most important, you’ll need to download a firmware you want to flash. If it’s a ported ROM, make sure it has all required files like “vendor” & “firmware”. Also pay attention when downloading these ROMs, they must be suitable for Curtana device.

If Android versions differ from the currently installed firmware with the one you want to install, then firstly install the firmware which is suitable for this version. It’s recommended to flash the latest versions of firmware. Once you got this done, follow these steps:

1. Boot into recovery and format every partition except SD card and OTG.
2. Format “data” partition by typing “yes”, after this step it’s important to reboot into recovery once again.
3. Find the previously downloaded ROM on your SD card and start the flashing process.
4. If there was “vendor”, then flash in after the main ROM.
5. Setup DM-verity & Permissiver.
6. If there was no error during the installation process, then you can now reboot into the system. If there was any error, repeat the steps once again.

Some ROM versions might show an error that system isn’t installed, simply ignore these type of errors and reboot.

If you got error while flashing any custom rom version, then try flash local ROM firstly and then repeat the same steps above.

You might also notice that the first startup might take longer than usual, it’s ok. Just wait on the loading screen. If your device stuck in the bootloop, then try holding “Volume Up” and “Power” button to start the recovery mode and try those steps:

1. Format “data” partition once again
2. Flash “Magisk.zip”.

Usually we install magisk, new kernel and GAPPS after the first system startup setup.

How to Root Redmi Note 9S without TWRP

We decided to also include here a small and very quick tutorial on how you can enable root on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S (Curtana) without flashing a custom recovery. You still must have unlocked bootloader firstly.

1. Take the boot.img file from the firmware that you want to flash and patch it with magisk.
2. Reboot your smartphone.
3. Find the patched image in the “download” folder, change the name to “boot” and copy to your PC.
4. Install adb drivers.
5. On Your PC, on C:\ drive the “adb” folder will be created.
6. Move the patched boot file there.
7. Start your phone in fastboot mode, hold “shift” button and right mouse click, open the adb in command line and enter the following command “fastboot flash boot boot.img.”

   2. Pay attention that all data will be wiped during installation.
   3. Unpack downloaded archive to an empty folder.
   4. Start your device in fastboot mode.
   5. Start the windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat
   6. In case you want to proceed with update, use the windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat (personal data won’t be removed in this case).
3. Boot into the system with newly installed ROM and setup the password.
4. Now download and copy TWRP, Magisk 23 (optionally) and latest version of Xiaomi.EU 21.5.20 ROM (or MIUIMIX – sourceforce / android file host, upon your choice).
5. Boot into fastboot mode once again and flash temp TWRP.
6. Boot into temporary TWRP Custom Recovery and flash TWRP permanently into Recovery Ramdisk.
7. Reboot into newly installed TWRP from the active TWRP to make sure that everything is flashed correctly. Now flash previously copied xiaomi.eu 21.5.20 for TWRP without any wipes right on 21.4.28. version.
8. To enable root on your device you need to flash previously downloaded Magisk.apk and then install this app as usual from the system (it’s required after flashing it’s firstly to create a required files, before installing an app).
9. In case you want to flash miuimix, then just install it instead of xiaomi.eu 21.5.20 and additionally, after flashing, you’ll need to repeat the step 6 and flash TWRP into Recovery Ramdisk once again. Same thing for Magisk.

Originally, the phone runs on Android 9 (Pie) with a MIUI 11 skin.

A Snapdragon 439 chipset backed by an Octa-core, Cortex A53 CPU with an Adreno 505 GPU completes the phone’s processing arsenal.

Photo lovers will love the Redmi 8’s 12-megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel selfie shooter.

Combine these with a 3/4 GB RAM and 32/64 GB internal memory combo that comes with microSDXC expandable storage and you will notice that the Redmi 8 is a device worth coveting for.

OrangeFox Recovery Features

Yet, using a phone Redmi 8’s chops does not feel complete without a decent custom recovery. Of course, we have the official, vanilla TWRP recovery for the Redmi 8.

But, other offerings like the OrangeFox Recovery Project present us with so much more features.

See, OrangeFox has extras such as:

• Out-of-the-box support for both Treble and non-Treble firmware
• Use of the latest TWRP builds
• Built-in Magisk
• Built in SuperSu
• OTA MIUI support
• Lock screen alternatives

Install TWRP Recovery on Xiaomi Redmi 8

Now, before you flash OrangeFox Recovery you will need to install TWRP first, as follows:

1. Download TWRP:

• twrp-3.3.1-1-olive.img
• twrp-3.3.1-0-olive.img

1. Connect your Redmi 8 to a PC using USB
2. Open a PowerShell console on the same path as the TWRP file you have downloaded in Step 1
3. Type the command:

adb reboot bootloader

1. After Step 4 the device will go into fastboot mode. And once that is done, type the command:

fastboot flash recovery [twrp-filename]

Replace, twrp-filename with the name of the TWRP file you have downloaded, say: twrp-3.3.1-1-olive.img

1. Restart the phone after the TWRP file flashes by typing the following command while pressing the Volume Up button

fastboot reboot

As expected, these steps will not work if you have not unlocked the phone’s bootloader.

With the TWRP installed the phone is ready for flashing the OrangeFox Recovery, as follows:

Install OrangeFox Recovery on Xiaomi Redmi 8

1. Download OrangeFox Recovery:

• OrangeFox-R10.1_2-Stable-olive.zip

1. Extract the zip file to find the file named recovery.img
2. Reboot the phone into fastboot mode
3. Go to the folder where you have installed adb, open a PowerShell console and type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

1. Then type:

reboot to recovery

With that done, you get a fresh OrangeFox Recovery installation on the Redmi 8.

Conclusion

As with other flash operations, remember to make backups before you start. And the process should be carried out on a phone with at least 80% of battery charge. Other conditions include enabling USB Debugging mode and having an unlocked bootloader.

How To Install TWRP on Xiaomi Mi A2

Before jumping to the installation process keep in mind that if you install TWRP on your device, it will void your warranty. Other than that, in order for this procedure to work your device must be rooted. You are performing the process on your own risk of bricking or damaging your device. We are not responsible for any unwanted scenario.

For anyone who wants to install TWRP on their Xiaomi A2, here are the steps:

1. First, navigate to settings on your Xiaomi device and activate the developer mode. (Go to Settings and tap on About phone. Now tap 7 times on MIUI Version).
2. Now, enable USB debugging. (Go to Settings and tap on Developer options. Scroll down and activate the toggle USB debugging).
3. Enable OEM unlocking. (While in Developer options, scroll down and activate the toggle OEM unlocking).
4. Press the Volume and Power buttons at the same time until your device enters in Fastboot mode.
5. Once it is in Fastboot mode, connect it to your PC via USB cable.
6. Download the latest TWRP built (3.2.3-0) from the following link . Then rename the file you just downloaded to twrp.img and continue on the next step.
7. Download ADB and Fastboot if you haven’t installed already. (You can get the minimal setup package from the following link ).
   1. Run the setup to install ADB and Fastboot.
   2. Navigate to the folder where you installed ADB and Fastboot. (Mine is C:\adb).
   3. Make sure you put the twrp .img file (the one you have downloaded and renamed before) in the same folder.
   4. Hold down the Shift key and right-click on a blank empty space in the adb folder.
   5. Select Open PowerShell window here (or Command Window) from the menu.
   6. Once you see the CMD console on your screen, you can continue with the following step.

1. Flash the TWRP 3.2.3-0 file using the following command.

   fastboot flash boot twrp.img (This will flash the file in the currently active slot A unless you have changed it before. You do not need to flash it in both slots.).

2. Reboot your device using the following command. But before you press Enter (to reboot the device) hold volume up button to boot in recovery mode.

   fastboot reboot

3. Once the device boots up in TWRP it will ask you for decrypt code. Choose cancel on the prompt.
4. On the next screen choose Keep Read Only and you are in TWRP recovery.
5. Now, go to reboot and select slot B. Then go back to reboot and choose Reboot to recovery.
   “this will boot to stock recovery it shows dead reboot with no command”
6. Hold Power and Volume Up buttons for almost 10 seconds. Do not hold long enough to reboot the phone. You may try more than once until it shows recovery options.
7. Once you see the recovery options on the screen, select wipe data factory reset and choose Yes.
8. After wiping choose reboot to bootloader.
9. Run again Command Prompt in the adb folder (as you did in the step 7) and type the following commands:

   fastboot set_active a
   fastboot reboot

10. Now your device will reboot but it is encrypted. After this DO NOT wipe data or factory reset in TWRP because it will result in boot loop.
11. On your Android device, download ES file manager or Root Browser, launch it and navitage to vendor > etc > fstab.qcom. Copy fstab.qcom in some folder on your device as a backup.
12. Once you have it saved in a different folder, open the original file (the one located in vendor>etc) and edit the line number 10. Change forceencrypted=footer to encryptable=footer save the file.
13. Reboot your device and once it boots up, reboot it into recovery.
14. Now, Install Magisk 17.1.zip. (You can download the latest stable version 17.1 from the following link ).
15. Then, go to wipe and do a factory reset (swipe the factory reset slider).

Note: If your device gets stuck at boot-logo or you are experiencing touch issues, restore the Stock Boot.img. You can do that by using the following fastboot command.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Flashing Xiaomi Mi8 with TWRP Custom Recovery

This tutorial is intended for those who wants to install multilingual or any other Custom ROM .zip archive for the first time. If you already have custom ROM installed and want to update it to the newest version, then it’s not required to do all wipes and data format, just wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, then just follow the tutorial after the step 5. If you’ve installing ROM from other developer, then it’s required to wipe “system” partition and format data.

1. Boot into TWRP Custom Recovery.
2. Go to “Wipe” menu > “Advanced Wipe” and select System, Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage partitions > Swipe to confirm wipe. Go back to main menu. Don’t do “wipe persist”!
3. Go to “Wipe” > “Format Data” > “Yes”; Pay attention that after this step all files from phone internal memory are going to be deleted, please make sure you’ve make all required backups.
4. Reboot TWRP by going to “Reboot” > “Recovery”.
5. Connect your device to PC, go to “Mount” partition and copy required ROM archive to phone internal memory.
6. Now go open “Install” menu, select ROM archive (you can include mods, gapps and other tweaks here as well and they’re going to be installed in the order, simply press “Add more zips”).
7. Swipe to confirm flashing and wait until installation is fully completed.
8. If you get a lot of folders with different names, then reboot into recovery, go to “Wipe” > “Internal storage” > “Recovery” > “Reboot into recovery”.
9. Now we can finally boot into the system. Go to “Reboot” and select “System”.
10. First startup may take quite a lot of time.

After the first startup you can install Magisk app to enable root on your device and then use Google Pay or other similar apps.

How to flash Xiaomi Mi8 in fastboot mode

1. Download and install adb/fastboot drivers.
2. Extract archive with adb tools on “C:\” drive.
3. Download official MIUI ROM for MiFlash / Fastboot and extract downloaded archive to the same folder with adb files. Make sure you’ve unpacked the downloaded archive twice, so that you’ll get “images” folder in the folder with adb files.
4. Boot your device in fastboot mode and connect to PC via USB cable.
5. Start “flash_all.bat”, wait until your device reboot and then remove USB cable. If you want to flash ROM and lock the bootloader, then use “flash_all_lock.bat” file.
   • If “flash_all.bat” file doesn’t work and terminal window is closed immediately, read the following information:
   • Press “Win+R” and type “cmd” in the opened windows, press “Enter”.
   • Use “cd” command to open folder with adb/fastboot files.
   • Drag and drop .bat file to terminal window and press “Enter”, now it should work fine.

Please pay attention! If you’ll use “flash_all_lock.bat” while installing Global ROM on Chinese device, you’ll get a bricked device.
