This is Orangefox recovery Port from Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ [Amethyst]

Requirements:
Platform tools: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
Usb drivers (Windows): https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb

==============
INSTALATION GUIDE
==============
1. If you are here, you may already have unlocked bootloader, if not, unlock (It would erase your data!)
2. Reboot to bootloader
3. Make sure you have platform tools and drivers
4. Flash of_asteroids.img using command: fastboot flash recovery of_asteroids.img
5. Reboot to recovery

What works:
Touchscreen
Customization
Recovery, boot, init_boot flashing
Rebooting
Fastboot
.zip file flash
Partition backuping
MTP
Wiping/formatting
Vrtual A/B support

What does not works:
Super flash (may brick your phone like my did)
OrangeFox integrated files (Superuser apps like magisk)
Sideload (not recognized)
Super partition unmapping (Fails)
Adb usage in recovery (very buggy)

Unsuported:
System, vendor and other logical partitions (no option to flash)

What may brick your device:
Flashing super: may delete logical partitions (like my did)

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNINGS - READ BEFORE FLASHING​

  • The "Super" Trap: Do NOT flash super.img. It may appear to finish in 10 seconds, but it will fail to write data while simultaneously deleting your logical partitions (System, Vendor, etc.). This will brick your device.
  • ADB Stability: ADB is extremely buggy in this build. If your PC doesn't see the device, use MTP to move files.
No Sideload: adb sideload is not recognized. To install ROMs, push the .zip to your /sdcard/ and flash normally.

Proof that it works: image.png (Nothing phone 3a)

Hello and good afternoon, @mewqiyton

I've pinged/mentioned you already here a few minutes ago. I've also closed this thread as it's again not your own development and removed the download link. If you want to share other developers' work in future, please first obtain their permission, give the necessary credits as stipulated by rule no. 12 of our forum rules, and do not post in the development section respectively do not use the "Development" prefix.

In case of any question or comment, please contact me privately.

Regards

Madam, Sir!

We'd certainly appreciate if you continue your ambition to create your own development like an official TWRP or an unofficial OrangeFox and to publish them on our Forums to the benefit of our users.
However, please be aware that we enforce compliance with GPLv2 and GPLv3! Therefore, I suggest to study the GPL's, our GPL Policy and to fully comply with our rule no. 12!

Our Forums were always a platform by developers for developers therefore one of our priority stances is that none of them gets kanged and that credits are given.
