Complete Installation Guide for Orion OS

Welcome to the comprehensive installation guide for Orion OS on Poco F5 (Marble). This guide provides a step-by-step approach to ensure a smooth transition to Orion OS.

Info: Only GApps variants are supported for Marble devices.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Prepare & Wipe

Clean your device partitions to avoid conflicts.

  1. Recovery:
    • Ensure you have the latest OrangeFox recovery installed for Marble.
  2. Boot into Recovery:
    • Turn off your device.
    • Press and hold Volume Up + Power buttons.
  3. Execute Clean Wipe:
    • Go to Wipe → Custom Wipe
    • Select: System, Vendor, Dalvik, Cache, and Data.
    • Swipe to confirm.

Warning: This step completely erases your apps and settings. Ensure your backup is safe!

Step 2: Flash Orion OS ROM

The core of your new experience.

  1. Navigate to Install.
  2. Select the Orion OS ROM file for Marble:
    • OrionOS-16.0-Ozone-marble-Official-GApps-xxx.zip
  3. Swipe to flash and wait (2-5 minutes).

Note: There is no need to flash firmware separately, as the HOS2 Global Firmware is already included in the ROM package.

Step 3: Format Data

This is the most critical step after a clean flash to prevent bootloops.

  1. Go to Wipe menu.
  2. Tap Format Data (not just Wipe Data).
  3. Type yes to confirm.
  4. Wait for the process to complete.

Step 4: Final Reboot

You’re almost there!

  1. Go to Reboot → System.
  2. Initial Boot: The first boot can take 5-10 minutes.
