ADB and fastboot
Assuming ADB and fastboot are installed. Following commands are in linux format, might have to make some changes for Windows/Mac, YMMV.
Getting to fastboot/recovery:
- Connect your phone to PC with USB debugging enabled.
- In a terminal, run:
adb reboot bootloaderand this will bring you to the fastboot menu. - Now run:
fastboot boot twrp-3.7.0_9-0-raphael.img
(the twrp file name will be the file you downloaded from Step 1) - Once in TWRP, (if your storage isn't mounted, mount it and then) transfer your
Ofox-R11.1_1-FBEv2.zipfile onto your storage. - Flash the OFox recovery and the phone will auto reboot to OFox recovery.
Flashing firmware (Optional, but recommended):
- Transfer the firmware file you downloaded onto the storage and flash it.
- Transfer the firmware file you downloaded onto the storage and flash it.
Format/Wipe before install:
- Click on the trash/garbage bin at the bottom of OFox to get to the Wipe menu.
- In the
Wipe tab, select/tick onlyCacheandDataoptions and Wipe them. - Now in the
Format Datatab, type 'yes' and format.
Flash PixelExperience:
- Transfer the PixelExperience zip file onto your storage.
- Flash the PixelExperience zip.
- (Optional, NOT Recommended) You can flash a DFE zip to remain decrypted, but I would strongly advice against it, unless you have the need to be decrypted and understand the risks of it.
- Reboot to System and you should now be booting PixelExperience successfully.
Incase you get stuck even after these steps, do checkout the Telegram group for raphael PE and seek help there. Be nice and respectful when asking for help.
Enjoy the ROM, cheers!
