Today through this article, I will show the proper guide to install custom recovery like TWRP & OrangeFox recovery. The orangeFox recovery is better then TWRP recovery in terms of looks & features. The overall performance is faster & support multiple task compare to TWRP recovery.

I have installed both TWRP & OrangeFox recovery. I personally suggest to use orangeFox recovery. However, it’s your choice. The method used in this article is simple & safe. There is no chance of bootloop or other error (brick) in this process.

Requirements:

1: Laptop/pc

2: Fastboot drivers installed

3: USB cable

How to install custom recovery on Redmi Note 9 Pro Max

1: Connect your phone to pc/laptop & open PowerShell window. (Press shift + right click on the mouse to open PowerShell window)

2: Enable usb debugging on the device. (Go-to developer option & select enable usb debugging)

3: Type adb devices on the PowerShell window to check if your device is detected.

4: Type adb reboot bootloader (this will reboot your device to fastboot mode)

5: Now your device is in fastboot mode. Type fastboot devices to check if your device is detected.

6: Type fastboot flash recovery then drag your recovery img file to PowerShell window. Make sure you have copied your recovery.img inside adb folder where you installed it. (Probably on C drive)

7: Hit enter & wait for the flash to complete. After the flashing is complete, reboot your device to recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button for 10 second.

The device will reboot to the recovery mode. Now I have installed orangeFox recovery, so the orangeFox recovery will open. If you install TWRP then TWRP recovery will open. The process/method for both recovery are same.
