I was using Evo X 4.7 on Redmi K20 Pro and OrangeFox Recovery and Magisk v25.2. One fine day I don’t know how but I lost my recovery (the phone would get stuck at Redmi boot animation when I would boot into recovery) so I uninstalled Magisk using the Magisk app itself and installed Ofox recovery using fastboot.
After that my phone won’t boot into OS and would always boot to recovery. Since I urgently needed to use my phone so I gave it to my close friend who is an Android dev and lives close by. The mf deleted some misc. and OTA files from system folder without telling me and said that my phone would boot into OS post this. But my phone still did not boot into OS and now my storage got encrypted too.
After all this, I tried to dirty flash the same Evo X 4.7 ROM but the phone was stuck at Evo X boot animation.
How do I recover my data now? I have very important data in storage and did not take backup as I didn’t feel that just flashing a recovery would lead to this.
Need your help guys, I need to recover the data anyhow. If you know any guy who can help me in recovering my data, I can pay him as well.
The OS is not corrupted since I see all my installed apps, in the Ofox App Manager. And the OS is doing the encryption right since the recovery doesn’t encrypt.
It’s been more than a week that I’ve searched the entire web trying to find a way to recover my data but haven’t been successful.
I’m getting the following error on Ofox Recovery.
E: error making /sdcard/fox directory: Required key not available
TLDR: Lost recovery. Uninstalled Magisk. Flashed Recovery using fastboot. Phone won’t boot into OS and would always boot into recovery. Deleted misc. and OTA files from system folder. Storage got encrypted. Phone still won’t boot into OS. Dirty flashed same ROM. Stuck at Evo X boot animation. Need to recover my data.
