๐Ÿ—’ Notes:

Cmds to flash via fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery_a <recovery.img>
fastboot flash recovery_b <recovery.img>



Flashing to both slots is optional! Users can update by flashing the new build over the previous one by flashing the zip in magisk or manually extracting the recovery.img and flashing it via fastboot or supported flashing apps.


If you flash the OTA.zip (Nothing OS update packages), it's recommended to follow these steps for a smooth update process:
1. Flash the OTA.zip.
2. Immediately flash the OrangeFox.zip.
3. Reboot to recovery.
4. Flash the OTA.zip again.
5. Follow up with flashing the OrangeFox.zip.


โœจChangelogs:
- Synced with latest sources
- fixes various bugs and problems
- Fixed flags
- Fixed flashing error via old orangefox via last build
- Improved compatibility with custom roms

IRใЉNฤฆRลฆโ„ข (@ironhrt) has left us; he passed away this Thursday due to cardiac arrest. He was only 40 years old, with a young child.. keep his family in your prayers.

He was the integral pillar of Xiaomi, Nothing and iQOO community and his GCam XMLs were invaluable and touched many of us.

He was an exceptional individual and a pure hearted soul. You'll be deeply missed, dear friend. Rest in peace. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
