)
8- copy custom recovery boot.img to internal storage and flash it again to recovery Ramdisk ( it makes recovery stay permanent )
If you have trouble with wifi and Bluetooth then do this :
While you are on custom recovery, Flash stock boot.img and after that go to Menu and flash current orangefox ( like image below) :
9- you successfully flashed custom recovery
• if you want to flash recovery file only in active slot :
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
• if you want to flash recovery file only in one slot :
fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
Or
fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img
• if you want to know on which slot you are:
fastboot getvar current-slot
Then you can set active another slot :
fastboot set_active a
Or
fastboot set_active b
• if you have a recovery and want to install another one ,if it's on .zip extension, just flash it from custom recovery .
if it on .img extension, after you tap on it the custom recovery will ask on which partition you want to install it? You will select the "boot" partition.
• Problem: bootloop
Solution 1: If you get bootloop after flashing custom recovery, go again to fastboot mode and flash custom recovery then the vbmeta using this command:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
The vbmeta you can find it in the rom images files you have ( or download it)
Solution 2: flash another recovery ( PBRP/ ofox / twrp)
Solution 3: flash stock boot.img to stop bootloop
