Hey guys just wondering what Treble roms have been tested on our essential. Additionally, i want to start testing some myself and wanted to know if twrp actually allows us to make backups and if we copy to an external source if we can successfully restore later on. Thanks! I want to test bootleggers and others but wanna keep my data.

Are there set instructions for flashing GSIs to the Essential, My last 4 devices had all separate commands, and modified vbmeta. I am yet to see solid flashing instructions, whether it be via Fastboot or TWRP....
*edit*
I ordered this device last night and due to receive it on Thursday. Just trying to figure out whats different from the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel XL, OnePlus6 and now my Essential. So im new to these parts of XDA, please dont be an ***.
I couldn't find a TWRP that supported Treble. Which is something you need to access the vendor partition.

Thats when Fastboot comes into play... There are no Fastboot commands for Essential to be able to flash a GSI on A/B?
U can flash gsi's via fastboot. And u can install them with our twrp. Every a/b gsi on the treble threads boot, except for havoc P . It bootlooped. Some are better than others. Oreo havoc works great. I am running pixel experience P right now. To flash them and get them to work, just have to fastboot -w then install via fastboot stock Oreo (firmware ending 267) then wipe system only, and flash gsi. Boot. Some of the older gsi's u have to flash the gsi system image to both slots. And regarding twrp nandroid backups, make your backup, then copy to external. After testing, fastboot -w again, flash android P (firmware 091) then after setup, copy backup back to phone, boot back to twrp, and restore. Oh yeah be sure to flash the kernel u use with regular use in twrp before making the nandroid or u will just backup twrp as your kernel... there are some issues, but if u can fix them, its a fun experiment.

I'm currently on stock pie. Do I have to downgrade to Oreo before I can flash benzo gsi? Is there any other steps that are required to get it to work? Thanks for your help.

Yes last Oreo firmware. Then after setup back to boot loader, fastboot erase system, flash the gsi, switch to other slot, do same thing, reboot.after u get it setup, back to boot loader then recovery, factory reset, then set it up flash twrp, mount system, flash phhhsuperuser ab zip, then reboot
Is there a reason we can't flash a 9.0 GSI from stock Pie? Just curious as to why we need to downgrade to 8.1 to flash something on 9.0..

U need the vendor files from 8.1 with the 9.0 pie gsi's. I tried to go from pie and just wipe everything and then before flashing the gsi flashing a vendor.img from 8.1, but it had weird issues, so maybe the firmware needs to directly place the vendor files where they go directly with a proper flash
Hmm, I've tried many GSI's, and had quite a few of them spit back the "Device is Uncertified" screen and couldn't pass the setup. Would anyone know a way around this? It's a pain trying to install a GSI only to have to go BTS right away.

Only had that once or twice, make sure u aren't rooting before setup, and try to use gsi's with gapps in built.the newer builds have them included and phhhsuperuser is the only rooting method that truly works without issues

So you didnt have to use ANY cmds to disable Verity or Decryption on Fastboot? That was a BIG deal on OP6 and Pixel 2 XL. I'm guessing the Essential TWRP build decrypts instead?

Firmware ending in 267 is for Sprint, FYI
So I thought I'd get the flashies and attempt more then a few GSI's.
I had some varying results. I installed all the GSI's in the same manor:
- Flash latest stock O
- Wipe "fastboot -w".
- Install "fastboot flash system example.img". This also wipes System before flashing.
Benzo 9.0 - Success!
Bootleggers 3.0/8.1 - Uncertified and unable to complete setup.
DU 8.1 - Uncertified and unable to complete setup.
Pixel Exp 9.0 - Success!
Pixel Exp 8.1 - Uncertified and unable to complete setup.
RR 8.1 - Success!
Benzo is by far my favorite so far. Give it a shot!
Did you do anything to the benzo rom after downloading it? And by latest stock o is 267?

Are you coming from Cos 12.1 ?

Because even if you flash nogout some problem like sim1 will stay always active and sim2 will be greyed out.

Error 7 is caused by the custom recoveries. It occurs both on CWM and TWRP. Just wipe the whole phone and via ADB boot it to recovery (Command 'adb reboot recovery' -- without quotes.) Then copy the ROM to internal storage and now flash. It will work like a charm.

Huh? How will that help? Why do need a 6.0 M ROM before you flash nougat? You can't dirty flash Lineage. It'll end in a boot loop. You have to wipe and flash. So how will the ROM that was installed before influence nougat flash?

Here's a little info if you have never used treble. ?
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-project-treble-revolutionizes-custom-roms-android-oreo/
Download Treble system-arm64-aonly
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688
This guide is for people coming from emui. If your already on treble see my guide on next thread to switch between different system images without losing data.
I got this Resurrection Remix up and running with gapps and magisk. Copy RR img, gapps and magisk to sdcard or OTG. Because this TWRP you won't be able to use internal storage. YOUR BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED AND BE ON OREO UPDATE.
Download open gapps I use arm64 Android 8.1 micro gapps https://opengapps.org
Download Magisk 16.4
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YftvNNZVruyYgtFE5wFsgLTDDb4Yux5W/view?usp=drivesdk
Need to have this twrp installed. Here --https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZYo7Ndte3vlLcUSadD6jIgfBi1oxa0Pb/view?usp=drivesdk put twrp in adb folder
In adb in fastboot mode "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk
complete_twrp_ramdisk.img"
After flash hold POWER VOLUME UP AND VOLUME DOWN IF YOU HAVE USB CONNECTED. OR JUST VOLUME UP PLUS POWER IF YOU DISCONNECT USB. TO REBOOT TO TWRP.
In TWRP select advanced wipe and wipe everything but sd card. Go to wipe again and select format data type yes. In TWRP hit reboot, reboot to recovery. Once back in recovery touch install. On bottom right select install image. Now find system-64-aonly img and select it. It will ask you where you want to install it, scroll down and select system image. Should take about a minute to install. Now reboot to system. After your in system reboot to twrp and flash gapps. After that select wipe format data. Reboot back to system and setup Google play services. Finally flash magisk for root in TWRP. ITS IMPORTANT TO INSTALL IN THIS ORDER OR YOU WILL END UP HAVING ISSUES WITH PLAY STORE AND INSTALLING APPS.
People that are getting uncertified play services error here is the APk to get your Google services device id. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YjNZuS3RfSrQ7DnmzOZMH74I63fmHGwN/view?usp=drivesdk
Once you get your id go here and copy it in.
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
IT HAS EDGE GESTURES ????
I updated the installation flashing instructions on 6/2 added how to switch between different treble GSI system images. Below -------V
BUGS?
VOLTE NOT WORKING
THEME IN RR CONFIGURATION SETTINGS DOESNT WORK.
ANYONE ELSE NOTICE ANY BUGS LET ME KNOW SO I CAN ADD TO BUGS LIST.
Here's the Generic System Image List
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
Thought I would make a guide for people who would like to test different treble GSI. So if you already on treble and would like to try a different one. This guides for you. Backup all your apps in titanium backup you can save them to internal storage. Copy system.img to SD card or usb to otg.
Download these gapps and copy to SD card to. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jz9gFWTUqKWr2y4X6FXIt5wQbR1-TrFH/view?usp=drivesdk
The reason using these gapps is because normal open gapps are to large and you will get an error in twrp saying not enough system storage available.
Boot to twrp and go to advanced wipe and wipe system data cache and dalvik. Don't wipe internal or SD card. Than flash system.img. Boot to system. Boot back to twrp and flash gapps. Go to advanced wipe and wipe data. Reboot to system. That's it, now you can test different treble gsi. Good luck.
Currently not booting GSI'S are DU and AEX.
This install process works with the other treble ROMs too for anyone interested.

You need to do flash system.img boot to system. Boot back to TWRP flash gapps. Factory data reset. And than boot to system. Pain in the ass I'm on AOSIP now. Took me forever to figure it out. After reboot apps weren't opening. Just keep trying clean install.
Thanks, I also ended up flashing AOSP vanilla and pico gapps and no issues with play store. Now if I could figure out how to make a proper back up I can use in TWRP.

Yeah but magisk or something causing issues. I've gotten it through fastboot on emui in the past.
I'll try it, hopefully if it fails I can still use the TWRP I have installed.
What is this?
- sGSI of ZUI 10.0/ 5.0 from Lenovo Z5pro/Z5, based on Android 8.1.0, June 1,2018 security patch.
Since this was requested in some comments, I flashed it and found working for our device flawlessly, with some bugs.
Features?
-All features of ZUI 4 + Soft Charge, gestures, multi space ( dual apps ) etc. Split Screen is also available.
How to flash?
ZUI 10 :
1. Download the flashable zip from the links.
2. Boot to twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Reboot.
ZUI 5:
Method 1 : (Recommended)
- 1. Download any treble based 8.1.x rom and ZUI5.0-sGSI.zip (link below).
[Please use MIUI 10 8.11.1 by Narshi Shukla as base ROM, as it seems it's Vendor is most compatible.]
2. Extract the zip in your storage. You will get three files ( two flashable zips and one folder "sGSI.....". [Folder name might differ, there will be only one folder, so no worries])
3. Boot into recovery and take a backup.
4. Clean flash treble based Oreo ROM that you downloaded.
5. From your twrp, use file manager to move " sGSI...." folder to backup folder of Twrp.
6. Mount system and vendor and wipe cache/delvik, data and system.
( Don't wipe firmware and Vendor )
7. Goto restore in your twrp and restore the system from "sGSI....." folder.
8. Flash the remaining two zips.
9. Flash magisk if needed.
10. Wipe cache/delvik and reboot. Done.
Method 2 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78389810&postcount=320
(You need treble based twrp, search if you don't already have).
After following all these steps, if your phone is stuck in Lenovo powered by android screen for long, then force reboot the phone and it will boot up to system.
What works?
-Here:
Call,SMS, VOLTE, Data, play store, Utouch, Fingerprint , Navigation, Double touch to wake, GCAM, Face Unlock, Hotspot, Banking apps, nearly everything.
What doesn't work?
- ROM specific. Bugs depend upon the treble ROM that you used as base. In some ROM, system sounds does not work. In MiUI 10, video recording might not work. Game Mode has some issues with global apps.
*FOR VIDEO RECORDING - see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78219358&postcount=93 ****
*Update GPU drivers for VULKAN support. Link in the links section.***
Performance?
- Better than ZUI 4, smooth as butter, no stutter playing games like PUBG, notifications on time, decent SOT.
Can it be used as daily driver?
- Yes, if you can live with some Chinese texts in certain apps.
Any other thing?
- Because the ROM is ported from Z5 which has a notch, total area of the notification bar cannot be used. To see things like real time network speed and battery "percentage" you have to pull down the notification bar.
What should I do first after booting the device?
- Install play store from App center. Install magisk to remove bloat wares. Install any music app, since there is none. This will make the system optimal for us.
Also, Turn "True Full Screen Mode" ON in display settings for full screen in Apps.
Install Magisk and download and install "SafteyPatch V2" within Magisk to pass safetynet and hide banking apps in magisk hide to use them.
Open security app and give all important permissions to the apps you use, including system apps. Also include them in autorun/whitelist section.

******************************** FLASHING ISSUE ******************
While flashing this ROM, try to follow the guide above as strictly as possible. Use the ROM that is recommended.
If you are facing bootloop, download the vendor that is provided and restore it in twrp and then flash patch 1 and 2.
Also remember, during each and every step, your TWRP should have system and Vendor mounted. Check after every step.
Your phone might reboot once or twice during first boot, which is not an issue.
How to know if you flashed it correctly?
-If your phone boots into the system with "Lenovo bootanimation" , you flashed it correctly.
If your phone is stuck in "Lenovo - powered by android" splash image for more than 5 minutes, you got something wrong.

what about gcam nd notification bug? and one more doubt, can we flash it over treble pie ROM?
I have one question. If i install a sgsi rom can i back to trenle, non-treble rom just with a simple flash method?

GCAM is working.
Notification bug is not there. Only sometimes, it seems that we get late notification.
You have to flash it over Oreo because the GSI is Oreo based. Flashing over pie should work as well, since treble ROM is required. Take a backup of your system so you can restore easily, if you face any issue.

Yes, you can get back to the ROM you want with simple flash, no problem.
Custom kernel flashable?

Haven't tested, but should be flashable.
Edit : Custom kernel might brick the device. Will test and update.
Donot flash custom kernel, it causes self restart of device.
Note: Moxie kernels can be flashed, you should flash patch2 after flashing kernels. But, MIUI 10 comes with moxie R5.1 so no use flashing Moxie again.

Wow it's so beautiful!
I used Arrow OS 8.1 but it got stuck in bootloop and does'nt boot at all.. I followed all the steps accordingly but it did not boot up even after i kept my phone overnight to let it boot. I don't know where i did wrong.

Use MIUI 10 port of Narshi Shukla latest build. It works.
May be Arrow OS cannot be used.
You can also try using Vendor of MIUI 10 once. Restore this vendor and the system image of ZUI.
Here is the vendor:

I think only MIUI 10 rom works flawlessly for this GSI. I will update the main page details and ask to use MIUI 10 only.
You couldnot flash patch 2 because it requires vendor, and may be your vendor is now messed up.
So use MIUI 10 port, it works without any issue.

Glad To hear.
So in whatever rom I am in Oreo , I can use that firmware if I use vendor only from your backup? And shouldn't wipe it?

Well, that's how some people got this working, so yes, it's working that way as well. ( Your ROM should be treble based though )
I will attach the "Vendor" file in the main post as well, so other members can use it too.
custom kernel possible,mine running in moxie
So Ive been trying to install multiple different pie roms and each one gives me error 7 during the install with twrp.
Ive updated twrp to the newest 3.2.3, I read that could be the issue.
I was using nolimits rom but due to no future updates I wanted to try something different.
Im sure its something simple, but I cannot seem to find any resources.
I even tried deleting the assert lines in the rom zip, still same error.
Im at a complete loss.
I just put nolimits back on it so I at least have a working phone.
Any info is appreciated

Please post your question only once https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Please answer some questions:
Which twrp (file name)?
Which xXx rom(file name)?
Decrypted or encrypted storage?
Which rom do you want to install (exact steps)?
Sorry for the double post, Ive been super frustrated with it.
Right now im running twrp 3.2.3.0 from the twrp website, I have tried codeworkx with no change.
I was trying multiple different roms, but for the sake of troubleshooting I was trying PixelExperience Cheeseburger 9.0
Most of the installs attempted have been through twrp so Im guessing decrypted.
And I was following the steps on the roms thread.
Factory wipe, delvik and data, then attempt the install.

Decrypted or encrypted storage? Which rom do you want to install now? Please use latest codeworkx recovery.
Which xXx rom exactly you're coming from(file name)?
Ok, I am coming from xXx_NoLimits_12.0_OP5_Oxygen_5.1.3_full and Id love to install OxygenOS Open Beta 22 Full
I can certainly install the codeworkx recovery if needed.
How can I tell if I am encrypted or not? Ive always just left things as default
Btw thanks for your help

Just follow instructions in first post for clean installation, make sure you made backups: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-beta-1-android-oreo-t3710003
Encryption means, you cannot access your internal storage without entering a pin when starting twrp or accessing the devices memory from outside.
So Ive followed the new install instructions from start to finish, and I cannot get past the OS flash.
Continuing to receive error 7.
Also receiving cannot mount /vendor as well

For the error 7 make sure you downloaded the correct files, without download issues(maybe use checksum). have you removed compatibility.zip from the OB22 rom zip with either 7zip or total commander?
For vendor partition error try to mount vendor partition within twrp manually, if there's no checkbox, you need to flash what I suggested you here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/updating-to-beta-22-t3879346/post78437012
Earlier open betas created this vendor partion. You can try with OB13.
I have same problem, except I tried to fix it by flashing OB19 firmware and radio zip. Now when I boot the recovery I don't get "no vendor partition" and the bootloader unlocked error, but when I try to flash ANY rom (stable 5.1.4 /open beta 19 / PIE ), the system and vendor partitions would patcg unconditionally, but I get no OS error and the device reboots to recovery. Please help.
Ps: I have magisk and TWRP 3.2.3, and tried both clean flashing and dirty flashing. the unlocked bootloader error changed even after restoring the NAND backup. I had already removed the compatibility zip from the Pie zip. I tried blu spark and codeworx versions of twrp 3.2.3

Same as my answer above. Oneplus published every open beta as an update(even when it's a full rom) of the previous version hence when your last open beta was 10 and you want 22 you missed several in between(this was an example!).
FINALLY got it all to work.
Apparently I had issues with the firmware, had to go back and install codeworx 15.1 firmware, after that it seems to be good to go.
THANK YOU Strongst.

How did you fix it? Can you explain what you mean by codeworx firmware? Could you provide link for file or guide?
This is the firmware from Codeworkx
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ch...firmware/firmware_5.1.7_oneplus5.zip/download.
You might have to go to an older version of twrp as well, just to get this installed.

Which twrp version and developer? And after this can I flash Pie directly or should I install something before it? Did you dirty flash or did you use clean install? Sorry for too many questions but I tried it many times and am frustrated that it didn't work, but you fixing it gives me hope.

What exactly means "failed"? Which error? Screenshot maybe? And from which oxygenOS you tried to update?
Also you need to flash magisk after flashing oxygenOS to make twrp sticky. Also a format of internal storage may be necessary to solve a boot problem.
The Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen is normal cause it's a warning when you unlock your bootloader, if it changed, it's due to changes made by oneplus some time ago, they changed it.
I was able to flash pie directly after updating the firmware.
twrp 3.2.3 should work

By failed I mean that I would wipe the system partition for clean flash, install the ROM zip, which would run but say patching system and vendor partitions unconditionally, then when I want to reboot it says warning no OS. Continuing to reboot gets me automatically back to recovery.
I tried updating from xXx 5.1.2

Make sure you don't have any security on your phone (finger print, pin, password ect.) I've read people have problems when they flash Roms with security enabled. You guys need to use the msm tool and flash stock. That will bring you to square one with a clean rom. If you're on tmobile flash the 9.0.11 since that's the only version you can unlock bootloader on T Mobile. Once done you'll have a completely stock phone and if you're on T Mobile you'll have a completely stock OOS and not the t mobile version. Then you would proceed to install TWRP so you can flash Roms and flash magisk for root. Follow the post that says t mobile to international. There's a video of this on YouTube as well
