1) Download the TWRP 3.0.2 at the next link :

2) Install the adb drivers and fastboot commands :

Unrar the rar. Run “adb-setup.exe”. Hit “Y” to all 3 questions.
3) Tap on Settings --> About phone --> Tap Build number seven times.
Developer options --> OEM unlocking enabled and USB debugging enabled.
4) Download SuperSU.zip and BusyBox.zip at the next link :

10) Press volume up (into your phone) to confirm to unlock the bootloader.
You will see in the CMD prompt the next messages :

11) Reboot in normal mode (be patient, when you unlock the bootloader, the phone reset to factory).
12) Now tap 7 times on Build number. Then Developer options, and re-enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
STEPS TO DO EVERY TIME YOU NEED TWRP RECOVERY :
13) Copy the TWRP (recovery.img) into the same folder of fastboot.exe and adb.exe ( c:\adb\ ).
14) Connect your phone to the PC via USB cable.
15) Open CMD (command prompt) and type the next command :
adb reboot bootloader (and press enter)
16) Now type the next command :
fastboot boot c:\adb\recovery.img (and press enter)
17) Onto TWRP, if asking you to swipe to allow modification of System, tap KEEP READ ONLY.
18) Now - the most important thing - tap on Backup.
19) Check mark on Nvram, Boot, System and Data.
20) Tap on Select Storage, tap on MicroSDCard, tap on OK.
21) Tap Swipe to Backup.
22) Return to the main menù of TWRP.
23) Tap Install. Tap on Select Storage. Tap Micro SDCard. Tap OK.

25) Swipe to confirm Flash.
26) Tap on Reboot.
27) Tap on POWER OFF.

29) Tap on the icon of SuperSU to activate it.
30) Download an app like "Root Check" or similar, to verify if phone is rooted.

is there a stock recovery available that i can flash in case i want to reset my phone or pull ota updates without flashing any zip files? i think the ota.zip that vernee released does not include a recovery, does it?
EDIT: there might be a possibility to extract recovery.img from the phone over adb. the problem is that you need to be rooted to do this but i am not, so i will leave a link down below. could someone who rooted his apollo try to get the recovery.img ?

You are right. There is no recovery.img inside the OTA update zip
I have made a custom recovery by myself. The pictures are the proof that my twrp works well.
This twrp method does not affect the original stock recovery.
Before to start the twrp by Fastboot, make sure you have installed the OTA 201701 update zip onto your Apollo.

Hello, the method works very well ....
Thank you very much :laugh:

Hello, Cleopatra
Just a couple of questions....
1.- In this TWRP "instalation" you ask adb to boot from an image is not in the telephone but in your PC? (Please, confirm)
2.- Instad using SuperSu for root, can Magisk take its place? Magisk seems to be a very promisory system.
Thank you very much. I do not have my piedce already to check myself. That is the reason of item 2.-

Your first question :
Fastboot to boot the recovery.img (TWRP) inside your PC. I confirm it.
Your second question :
Regarding Magisk, please keep in mind that you need also "phh's SuperUser" and "xposed-v87.0-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip".
Very soon I will have the Vernee Apollo in my hands to do all kinds of tests without asking anyone to be the test case.
The first most important target is to make a stock firmware flashable by SP Flash Tool.
The second most important target is to make a twrp flashable by SP Flash Tool.

We are in the same situation...

I see you on 4pda.
1) "volume plus" + "power" simultaneously.
2) select the first line with "volume plus".
3) press "volume minus" to enter into recovery.
I suggest you to install "Quick Reboot (Root)" apk to enter more quickly into recovery mode.

Then, you will have to choose two different methods :

WHAT ??? 40 minutes to make a backup ???
WAIT please ! Probably you are doing it wrong.
Questions :
1) Do you have selected ONLY Nvram, Boot, System and Data ?
2) What kind of microSD are you using ? Speed class 6 or speed class 10 ?

Helium: Unlock BL & install TWRP & ROOT Friendly Guide

* i tested thist on my Mi Max Helium 64gb 3g Global Rom Locked Bootloder and Latest Miui 8.2.3 installed phone. Works fine
* This guide includes unlocking bootloader and installing recovery & superuser without formating data or factory reset. You also did not need flash developer rom.
* Unlocking bootloder may voids your warranty it depends on your reseller or repair service provider. Before use this guide please double check that. (i called my reseller and got confirmation not to void my warranty. Doing this advised)
* Continue At your own risk.
:silly:

4. Create Mi Account and login with it on your phone
5. Go to: System Settings > About Phone and tap "Miui Version" 4-5 times to enable developer settings
6.Go to: Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options:
Select OEM Unlock and then click Mi Unlock and And Add device (this will add your device to your account) also select USB Debugging on
7. Go to the web site on your computer http://en.miui.com/unlock/ then login with your mi account, click unlock and fill the form your name, area code, phone number, your unlocking reason
8.Do not close the web page and wait for the phone number confirmation SMS
Then enter the code. Now wait for unlock confirmation SMS. it says 10 day but confirmation SMS sent to me with in 15 minutes.
9. Do not download the new unlock tool. it is not allowed you before 70 hours to unlock your phone instead of download old version here
10. Power of your phone and press volume down + power or open an command prompt and enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then Fastboot screen apper connect your phone then confirm to unlock wait for %100 then reboot phone
Now unlocking done. if you want check it from developer options when phone booted.
11. Download latest twrp img from here (i used helium version twrp-3.1.1-0-helium.img)

14. go to the twrp img folder then shift + right mouse button --> open cmd here
then enter the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-helium.img
Keep the volume up button pressed enter the following
Code:
fastboot reboot
After a while TWRP recovery booted.
15 (optional) before installing superuser make a backup of your non touching system select backup and select all images data system cache.... and make a system backup.
16. Select install and slect superuser .zip file from internal or external storage where you copied it. Then flash superuser.zip
* note that super user zip also patching the boot image T& kernel to disable encryption and dm-verity. so there is no need to wipe data or factory reset.
16. when finished select reboot and reboot your system. when booted check for suoersu installed.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the guide.

Thanks. Will test this.
I'm in the process of wiping through TWRP. It says
"Failed to mound '/metadata' (Invalid argument)
I've already converted the format partition from FAT to EXT4, and wiped the selected items but I'm stuck with the error above. Idk if this won't make me able to proceed to flashing the gsi

nice. Wish there were clear instructions on how to flash this phone, though.

Hey, so I really want to root my A22, but I would want some more info. I would like more info on how to flash the A12 GSI, like what about vendor etc, I mean I know stuff about roms but no stuff about GSI'S whatsoever, so like is vendor needed etc? And also can you give me a more detailed tutorial on how to flash it? I'd love Android 12 on this phone.

Hi there, I'm a noob regarding to this, but I was able to follow this guide successfully for my A225m.
But I'd like to understand what's going on here, can you give an explanation about each step and what does it do?
Also, can the vbmeta flashing be done _without_ Odin? For example using only fastboot (which works on Linux unlike Odin).

Thank you for following your tutorial, successfully rooting, and flashing the system

There are three problems with crdroid, the dual card manager cannot work quickly, the hotspot cannot be used, and the system cannot mount the phone storage

How To Guide How to flash a stock rom [alioth]

Hello everyone.
The purpose of this guide is to illustrate two methods to flash the stock rom on F3, both with the use of xiaomi flash tool (which for convenience I will call "miflash") and with cmd.​Warnings!​Before starting I would like to make one point clear, every moding operation involves risks that could lead to bootloop, softbrick or hardbrick of your phone, they can be caused by countless circumstances or actions, so you need the utmost attention and scrupulousness in performing certain operations.​What I will describe I have tested it on my F3 and it works, in any case, ​neither I nor the xda forum are responsible for any breakdowns on the phone caused by the operations described below!​Having said that, let's start...
All you need is:​
Bootloader unlocked, using the official tool you find here
Latest version of miflash, which you can download from here;
SDK platform tools, which you can download from here;
Stock fastboot rom, which you can download from here, here or here.
Make a backup of your data because they will be deleted in the process!
Now that you have everything you need, follow the steps:​1) How to flash a stock rom using miflash.​
Unzip miflash to C:\ ; [Only for the first time]​
Unzip SDK platform tools to C:\ ; [Only for the first time]
Unzip the fastboot rom in the miflash folder;
Rename the fastboot rom folder with a shorter name and no spaces like "V12.5.6.0.RKHEUXM";
Disable driver signature enforcement in windows 10; [Only for the first time. It is a temporary option that is reactivated the next time the pc is restarted]
Spoiler: How to disable driver signature
1 - Open settings;
2 - Go to update and security;
3 - In the left column click on restore;
4 - Under advanced restart click on restart now;
The pc will restart in a blue screen, click in sequence:
1. Troubleshoot;
2. Advanced options;
3. Startup Settings;
4. Restart;
5. Press the 7 or F7 key to Disable driver signature.
Now the pc restarts by itself.
Go to the miflash folder in c:\, open it and search for XiaoMiFlash.exe, right click and start as administrator;
Click on the driver button at the top and then install (if a warning message comes out, install anyway); [Only for the first time]
Restart your pc; [Only for the first time]
Go to the miflash folder in c:\, open it and search for XiaoMiFlash.exe, right click and start as administrator;
Click on the select button at the top left and navigate to the fastboot rom folder in the window that opens, then press ok; (If you followed the guide it is located in C:\MiFlash20210226\namethatyougavetotherom);
Click on the clean all option at the bottom right;
Spoiler: Why clean all option
- The clean all option allows you to flash the rom avoiding blocking the bootloader (which I recommend);
- The save user data option allows you to flash the rom without deleting the data (not recommended if you come from custom rom or from stock rom of different regions and does not block the bootloader);
- The clean all and lock option instead at the end of the flash blocks the bootloader which in some cases especially if you flash a rom that is not the original and can lead to a brick of the phone (I do not recommend blocking the bootloader, but if you want to do it make sure you are on the stock rom of the same region your phone was born with).
Now in the phone enable debug USB in developer option;
Spoiler: Developer option
Enable developer option:
- Go to settings;
- Tap on my device;
- Tap on all specifications;
- 7 tap on miui version.
Debug USB:
- Go to settings;
- Other settings;
- Developer options;
- Debug USB.
Restart the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to a rear USB port or in any case to a USB 2.0;
Spoiler: Fastboot mode
Turn the phone off;
Long press of the power key + volume -.
If the phone is recognized by miflash its code appears in the first row of the table otherwise click the refresh button at the top right;
Make sure clean all is selected and click on flash;
The flash lasts several minutes wait without touching anything;
Surely miflash at the end of the flash will give an error because the clean all option is selected and not blocking the bootloader at the end of the process it recognizes it as an error. Do not worry!!! it's normal;
If all went well the phone should restart by itself, (attention! the first start of the phone lasts several minutes stuck on the miui logo, wait until the configuration screen appears.
2) How to flash a stock rom using cmd.​Small premise; You could easily use this method even just by starting the .bat file inside the fastboot rom, but if any problems should occur or at the end of the process the window would close immediately without giving you the time to understand what happened, while if you run the .bat file directly from the prompt (cmd) you have the possibility to check the whole flash process and see if any errors occur because the window will remain open anyway.​
Unzip miflash to C:\ ; [Only the first time to install drivers]​
Unzip SDK platform tools to C:\ ; [Only for the first time]
Unpack the fastboot rom and move all content to C:\platform-tools;
Disable driver signature enforcement in windows 10; [Only for the first time. It is a temporary option that is reactivated the next time the pc is restarted]
Spoiler: How to disable driver signature
1 - Open settings;
2 - Go to update and security;
3 - In the left column click on restore;
4 - Under advanced restart click on restart now;
The pc will restart in a blue screen, click in sequence:
1. Troubleshoot;
2. Advanced options;
3. Startup Settings;
4. Restart;
5. Press the 7 or F7 key to Disable driver signature.
Now the pc restarts by itself.
Go to the miflash folder in c:\, open it and search for XiaoMiFlash.exe, right click and start as administrator; [Only for the first time]
Click on the driver button at the top and then install (if a warning message comes out, install anyway); [Only for the first time]
Restart your pc; [Only for the first time]
Go to the start button with the mouse and click with the right button;
In the menu that will open click on command prompt (administrator) a cmd window will open;
Now in the phone enable debug USB in developer option;
Spoiler: Developer option
Enable developer option:
- Go to settings;
- Tap on my device;
- Tap on all specifications;
- 7 tap on miui version.
Debug USB:
- Go to settings;
- Other settings;
- Developer options;
- Debug USB.
Restart the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to a rear USB port or in any case to a USB 2.0;
Spoiler: Fastboot mode
Turn the phone off;
Long press of the power key + volume -.
Now in the cmd window you are in the path: C:\windows\system32. First we move to the platform tools folder and check if the pc recognizes the phone in fastboot (if you followed the guide it will be in C:\platform-tools) to move to the folder press this command and press enter:
Code:
cd c:\platform-tools
Now check if the pc recognizes the phone in fastboot with this command and press enter (The phone code should appear):
Code:
fastboot devices
If the code appears you can start the .bat file to start the flash, then type this command and press enter:
Code:
flash_all.bat
Spoiler: Why flash_all.bat
- The flash_all.bat allows you to flash the rom avoiding blocking the bootloader (which I recommend);
- The flash_all_except_storage.bat allows you to flash the rom without deleting the data (not recommended if you come from custom rom or from stock rom of different regions and does not block the bootloader);
- The flash_all_lock.bat instead at the end of the flash blocks the bootloader which in some cases especially if you flash a rom that is not the original and can lead to a brick of the phone (I do not recommend blocking the bootloader, but if you want to do it make sure you are on the stock rom of the same region your phone was born with).
The flash lasts several minutes wait without touching anything but you can follow the trend in case there are problems;
If all went well the phone should restart by itself, (attention! the first start of the phone lasts several minutes stuck on the miui logo, wait until the configuration screen appears.
I hope this guide can help you to get back or flash the stock rom.
Happy flash everyone!​

Thanks.

It is not advisable to flash the stock rom with twrp for two simple reasons:
1) For the moment the only two twrp developed are in beta state and it is not certain that they perform this task correctly.
2) Twrp does not do the arb check (Anti RollBack) To find out more, read here:
Xiaomi's Anti-Rollback Protection Explained: How to avoid bricking your phone
All Xiaomi smartphones and tablets will have anti-rollback protection enabled. What is it and how do you avoid bricking your device because of it?
www.xda-developers.com
So using miflash or the executable via cmd is the safest and most reliable way to flash the stock rom.

This is not working with locked bootloader.. any other method with locked bootloader to flash stock rom?

It is true! you need the unlocked bootloader, I read that with this tool you can do it. I have not tried it, I do not guarantee the success of the flash with a locked bootloader and in any case I strongly advise against flashing with a locked bootloader. If any errors occur it is risky and complicated to recover it, it is always better to unlock it.

Thank You So Much - Get Back Device in normal Mode

Hello @RollDload
I have Flashed below Fastboot ROM in Mi11X India using the CMD method and working fine but I am surprised why I didn't get OTA for the next Version - Below Mentioned Update Tracker got from another post - My Bootloader is Unlocked - If I manually Update next version using recovery ROM then Can I flash without data lost? - If possible please let me know the solution
2021-04-20 | Stable Fastboot | V12.5.2.0.RKHCNXM (Currently Avalibale)
2021-05-25 | Stable Recovery | V12.5.3.0.RKHCNXM (Should Offer this via OTA as per my Assumption)

Hi, I'm glad it worked fine ...
First try to clear the update application data.
If you don't get the update try the recovery method, you shouldn't lose your data. Do a backup anyway to be sure ...

First of all thanks for the Response
I have already tried clear data of Update app, also login into Mi Account but non of the works
Now I will use the recovery method - will follow the below steps let me correct if I am going to do wrong steps
Download this ROM 2021-05-25 | Stable Recovery | V12.5.3.0.RKHCNXM
Put it into Device -> Choose update package - > will flash
Will take backup for Safety

Hi all!
Trying to flash stock ROM (On Linux, cmd command mode), i get following message: "Missmatching image and device" although my phone is a Poco F3 Alioth :/

Why not try the latest update directly? So there is no more need for the ota.
Remember that "CN" is the Chinese version.
"ID" the Indian version.
"MI" l "EEA" etc the global versions.
Use the one corresponding to the one you already have in use.
Otherwise flash what you would like with miflash but avoid blocking the bootloader.

I don't know, I don't use linux, but try to check the drivers and make sure you use the right rom for your model, there are three versions, china india and global.

Yes...Correct regarding latest flash
let me correct you regarding Version
ID - Indonesia ROM
IN - India ROM
I have changed ROM from India to another for Miui Dialer only but after installation, I found Xiaomi EU ROM much better than any other Region ROM
Chinese ROM - good but lots of bloatware, No Gapps
Xiaomi EU - Excellent Performance, MIUI Dialer with Gapps (you can download only from Xiaomi EU website (EU & EEA) both are different Version

edit:
okay so I panicked. lol
I disconnected the phone from pc then I realized it was a dumb move
the phone is still on fastboot though.
So I reconnected the phone to pc and it wont detect. I am worried that if I turned off my phone it will die.
So what I did next was hold power button and volume down trying my luck to get into fastboot again.
And it did boot into fastboot again.
Then using miflash and everything worked now im on stock rom. Thanks!
PS: Im so happy that I am still within Gods grace.

yes, unplugging the phone in the middle of a flash is very dangerous, but luck was on your side. better this way

Guys just wanted to clear a doubt i had
So currently I have a mi11x Indian version running miui 13
So my first question is if I unlock via miunlock and then flash custom ROMs (pixelexperience)
Will I be able to go back to stock rom and relock bootloader if in the future I need to go back to stock or something
Or will it cause a brick.

Please, you don't need to know this but I am disabled, get really low on energy really quick. Trying to solve this is driving me mad!
Mi 11 bought with CN stock.
Unlocked the bootloader, loaded global rom for miui 12, all worked well.
OTA didn't work though.
Updated yesterday to latest global rom. All seems to work except, Google Wallet which used to work great gives me their CTS error.
Nothing actually changed on the phone, it's still just the unlocked phone, stock global rom.
I tried loading an older 12.5 rom and then, did an OTA update to MIUI 13
Still, Google Wallet doesn't want to know.
Was considering flashing again with the stock global rom (I don't want the CN on there) and locking the boot again but, would that even work or, does it have to be the CN stock rom?
All the bypass options for the security are just beyond my mind now sadly.

[GUIDE][ROOT][UNROOT] Rooting/UnRooting A505FN

In this post I'll describe my experience with Root and Unroot of Samsung Galaxy A505FN/DS (DualSim)
I wrote threads on XDA and called for help but I didn't always get it, so I had to look for solutions myself, which I'll share now.
[Root]​
[READ BEFORE START]​Bricking Samsung devices is reallyyyy hard - but If you mess something up - I'm not responsible for it.
Root, although it gives you new features, also takes away old ones
- Your Knox will be broken - there is no option to skip it, apps like Samsung Pass will never work again (even after unroot).
- Some applications will not be available in Google Play (e.g. Netflix), you can use another store such as Aurora Store, but it does not give a 100% guarantee that you will install the application you need.
- You won't pass SafetyNet attestation - you can use Magisk (Zygisk to be exact) + denylist modules for this, but it also doesn't always work (in my example it didn't work on Stock ROM).
- Unstable system... Almost, because as long as you root your phone, nothing should happen - however, I've already more than once downloaded a module for Magisk and after installing it the phone wouldn't reboot or the phone reset itself at least once in a few days, then you have to disable the module or do a Factory Reset, and doing a backup every time you install a module is not convenient.
- Banking apps - in my case, I wasn't able to add my card to Google Pay or use autocomplete in Google Chrome when I wanted to enter my credit card information. I was also unable to pay via NFC.
[START]​1. Make a backup - Rooting will earse all data that you have collected on your phone! You can make backup in your phone settings.
[Samsung Cloud] Settings -> Accounts & Backup -> Data with backup (Under Samsung Cloud Tab) -> Select Apps to backup | Then backup files & photos on Dropbox, Onedrive, Google Drive
[Google] Settings -> Accounts & Backup -> Data with backup (Under Google Drive Tab) -> Click "Make Backup now"
2. Enable Developer Options - Settings -> Phone - Information -> Software information -> Click about 10 times on "Version number" until you see the text "Developer mode has been activated" or until you have to enter the lock code
3. Unlock OEM in Developer Options - Settings -> Developer Options (on far bottom) -> Check "Unlock OEM"
4. Turn on USB Debugging - Developer Options -> Check "USB Debugging"
5. Download & install Samsung Drivers
6. Download ODIN
7. Download Platform Tools
8. Download OrangeFox (only for full root) (Credits to @Enzoaquino)
9. Download MultiDisabler
10. Turn off the phone, when it is turned off press Volume UP and Volume DOWN simultaneously and connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable and wait to screen turn on
11. You can see instructions on screen -> Long Press Volume UP, on next screen confirm unlocking bootloader by clicking Volume UP (All Your data will be earsed now!).
12. Your phone will be restarted two times, wait, after that, disconnect your phone from PC and configure your phone (you need connect to the internet) and do one more time step 2., 3. and 4., but after doing step 4. connect your phone to PC and wait to dialog box pop in -> hit "Always Allow from this PC", and then hit "Allow"
13. Open folder with platform tools (you need to see adb.exe file) and type "CMD" into directory path box and hit enter

[UnRoot]​
[READ BEFORE START]​- This will do Factory Reset
- You need to find a ROM that fits Your phone -> Here is the site that I recommend to download ROM for Samsung A505FN (A lot of ROMs, Full speed download and.. FREE).
What If I pick wrong ROM?
- It will not install but Your phone will still work,
- Some functions can stop working (example: Your screen will not autorotate)
[START]​So, after You pick a Samsung A505FN on that site, You need to know CSC Code for Your phone... But where You can find it?
If You still have original ROM:
1. (On Your phone) Go into settings -> Phone - Informations (on far bottom) -> software information -> Provider software version
2. here you will have your code
3. Type first part of that into Search Box on site that i provided
4. Download Selected ROM, repack this in folder of Your choose
5. Connect Your phone to Your PC
6. open Command Line (like in step 13. in rooting) and type "adb reboot download"
7. After reset, open ODIN, and place all files from Your ROM here
8. Click Start
9. Your Phone will reset automatically, after it's boots up, disconnect phone from pc and turn Your phone off
10. Press Volume UP + Volume DOWN and plug-in Your usb cable connected to Your PC
11. You will see "blue" screen, long press Volume UP and confirm Locking Bootloader by clicking Volume UP (this will earse all Your data).
12. And.. done!

Hmmmm why not use a modified kernel instead of patch recovery? When using patched recovery, you need to figure out the right button combinations to boot to system or recovery,whereas when you use patched kernel you can just simpky boot without button combinations.

I mean yee, if u wanna stay with original ROM but just have Magisk installed, then patching custom kernel is good idea - but if u want install custom ROM or something, its good to have custom recovery (besides the fact that you can patch custom kernel via custom recovery)

@TheWolf_Prod
I tried your guide on my Samsung Galaxy A50 (SM-A50FN / DS), I confirm it works
After entering Magisk, I choose to run in Recovery, it starts, but it does not go into Recovery, but normally on the phone
Tell me, do you know how to do this, how do I update to Magisk v24.3 via "Select and patch file"?
Because I downloaded from another TWRP and ROOT guide and I also have a problem with it
And I do on your tutorial as I did on my previous TWRP tutorial:
I choose the method "Select and patch a file" creates the AP magisk _patched for me, I transfer it to my laptop, turn off the phone and enter Download mode, run Odin (I deselect auto start), add files BL, AP (magisk_patched), CS, CSC, gives me start, loaded, exiting, from Download mode, starting Recovery mode, giving, restarting and bootloop is on

~ "I choose to run in Recovery, it starts, but it does not go into Recovery, but normally on the phone"
I guess this is Samsung's "unique feature" - the only option to enter OrangeFox/TWRP is turn phone off -> press Volume UP + Power and when phone vibrates, plug USB cable connected under PC to phone.
~ "After entering Magisk, I choose to run in Recovery, it starts, but it does not go into Recovery, but normally on the phone"
So - on my phone I noticed this problem:
Sometimes when I reset my phone (Either manually or through a dead battery) then after restarting - I lost ROOT privileges. Therefore, if for some reason you need to reset your phone - do it preferably through Magisk (main page -> click the "refresh" icon -> Reboot Recovery) then you can be sure that your phone will boot with ROOT privileges
If your phone has reset itself or you forgot to do it via Magisk - turn phone off -> press Volume UP + Power and when phone vibrates, plug USB cable connected under PC (or any device where you can copy files from it) to phone - then in OrangeFox/TWRP menu You need to click "Reset Recovery" and unplug USB Cable.
~ "Tell me, do you know how to do this, how do I update to Magisk v24.3 via "Select and patch file"?"
So, I don't use TWRP - if You have OrangeFox all You need to update Magisk is just click "Update" in Magisk App.
I read this on this website:
Choose “Select and Patch a File” in method, and select the AP tar file (from Your ROM)
Start the installation, and copy the patched tar file to your PC using ADB:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].tar
DO NOT USE MTP as it is known to corrupt large files.
Reboot to download mode. Open Odin on your PC, and flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware.
If it still doesn't work then try to install Ypur ROM without the Magisk patch - maybe you downloaded the wrong ROM?

I have OrangeFox at the moment, I've seen this link before and read it, unfortunately, it doesn't work, bootloop pops up and OrangeFox recovery is missing.
I have an official ROM:
Version Android: 11
Changelist: 22264509
Build Date Mon, 14 Mar 2022 03:20:54 +0000
Security Patch Level: 2022-03-01
Product code: XEO
PDA: A505FNXXS9CVC2
CSC: A505FNOXM9CVB1

When my phone has reset itself or I do it via Magisk, my device is stuck on the lock screen. Whenever I unlock my device, the screen turns black, not responding, or auto restart.
I tried to solve the issue by booting into Fox recovery, then turning on/off Magisk core, or using the Fox Reboot function to reboot into System or Recovery but it is impossible to solve the problem.
