[DiscoveryAndroid] Guide For Flashing GSIs for all Android devices (2021) - Treble-Enabled Device Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi every one, in this thread, I will guide How to Flashing GSIs for all Android devices (2021).
- A to Z for new babie, just only fastboot guide.
- I'm highly recommend using pHH GSIs image rom. (List here) AND DO NOT ASK ME SGSI ROM.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is... still valid?
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
1. Prepair:
- Brain (to understand what I write below and make sure u will do it right)
- Using this app Treble Info to check your devices is support Treble (A/B, A only or VNDK)
- Unlock your Bootloader devices.
- Payload dumper for extract payload.bin BASE Rom. -> Check this video HOW TO EXTRACT Payload.bin rom
- U must be on stock rom to flashsing GSIs rom (flashing your stock rom on 1 slot, DO NOT FLASH ON BOTH SLOT). If u are on custom rom, then u will need to flash stock rom again.
- ADB driver, fastboot driver (guide for windows)
​1.1 BASE ROM: Highly recommend using Lineage OS rom for base rom. (and u can try with another base rom, for example, on xiaomi devices, u have MIUI rom and AOSP rom aka OSS, and u can try both of these for BASE ROM)​All u need in base rom:​- vendor.img (must be in the same BASE ROM with boot.img) DO NOT try to mix with another boot.img​- boot.img (must be in the same BASE ROM with vendor.img) DO NOT try to mix with another vendor.img​- system_vbmeta.img (or vbmeta.img) or u can download this vbmeta.img here​- patched magisk boot.img (if u want to root your devices)​- vendor overlays: Some devices with notch/hole need this. (u can extract your stock rom to have this)​- phh magisk v23 (download here)​​1.2 GSI ROM: I'm highly recommend using pHH GSIs image rom. (List here)​All u need in GSI rom:​- Yes, GSI rom aka system.img (recommend to rename it system.img)​- product.img (download here) - credit @kusti420​​​2. Flashing:
- Guide for A/B devices.
- Put your devices on FastbootD (using code adb reboot fastboot or using physical buttons power key and volume down key to make devices go to bootloader, then using code fastboot reboot fastboot to make your devices is on FASTBOOTD mode)
- Using these code instructions below: all in FastbootD
Step1:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot (see which slot u are using. Ex: a , b)
fastboot --set-active=b (if u are using slot a, change b to a) to make sure u're flashing gsi on 1 slot
Step2: vbmeta.img, vendor.img is from BASE ROM. product_gsi.img is from GSI ROM
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash product product_gsi.img
Step3: system.img is from GSI ROM. Some devices is request system.img <3GB, so your choise vanilla or full GAPPS GSI ROM.
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img
Step4: -w will wipe all data in your devices. boot.img is from BASE ROM.
Code:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Step5: when your gsi rom booted, flash boot patched magisk to have it root.
If it NOT BOOT, try to delete your product.img
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
If it NOT BOOT, change another vendor, boot from another BASE ROM!!!!
Good luck guys!!!!!

buy a huawei with Harmony for modding.... curious choice

Lenovo didnt provide vendor.img for my tablet TB-J606F how can I backup\extract it from existing system?
I have root and I tried dd if=/dev/l9Y/.magisk/block/vendor .... and it didnt have permission. Is this only works on custom recovery? becuse I didnt find any for my device
I tried just flashing GSI 12 on the tablet and it worked but auto brightness and some more small but anoying suff didnt work perfect

Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system GSI.img
Does this code make our system becoming fail to pass safetynett ? i dont know either . coz for me , after using kdragon zygisk safetynet fix also cant pass cts and basic test. im on ancientOS GSI right now for my mojito device

I was on a custom ROM, used this guide, I didn't even have to flash the stock ROM. I flashed crDroid GSI.

Use
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
to unlock the bootloader.
You may also need to unlock the critical partitions by typing:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
You can flash factory images using the batchfile in the firmware archive or using MiFlash. You can also flash in Snapdragon EDL-(Emergency Download) Mode (bootloader unlocked is necessary) by typing:
Code:
fastboot oem edl

Did you install all Xiaomi drivers using MiFlash and disabled driver signature?
Did you also unlock the critical partitions?
Try one of the batch files from the stock rom via command prompt. E.g. flash_all.bat, which worked for me as MiFlash did not want to do the job, too. Unlock critical is needed though.
The only way to flash was in EDL/Test Point mode. I opened the phone but you can use a Xiaomi deep flash cable (EDL cable).

Yes, my flash succeeded sucessfully after the second try. I got an error (system_b flashing failed), I closed Chrome to free up more RAM and the flash finished.
To unlock the bootloader, do I need to create a xiaomi account and request a token to unlock it or can I use the usual

?

[GUIDE] [ROM] How to Flash BeastROM to Mi CC9e

Hey guys,
Although Mi CC9e (laurus) has been released for some days, there's few discussion on this device. The reason why I bought laurus is because I think it will share a community with Mi A3 (laurel_sprout), and it's easier to get laurus in China (with 6GB RAM). And indeed, laurus use exactly the same kernel with laurel_sprout. Most people think laurus is A only and laurel_sprout is A/B, which is almost, but not entirely correct. Devices launched with Android 9 are mandatory to use system-as-root.
In previous versions of Android, devices that didn't support A/B updates could mount the system image under the /system directory. In Android 9, the root of the system image is mounted as the root of the device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In short, laurus MUST flash A/B image instead of A only, just like Mi 9 (cepheus) and Mi Mix 3 (perseus).
I assume that your'phone is unlocked and you've configured ADB and Fastboot.
So, let's start.
1. Flash TWRP
Reboot your laurus to Fastboot with Power + Volume Down.
There's a available TWRP from Chinese developer LR.Team
Download Link
The batch script is in Chinese, but I'm sure you know what to do if you're familar with Fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0914-XIAOMI_CC9E-CN-wzsx150.img
2. Flash BeastROM 1.6
Although BeastROM 2.0 has released but I can't get it work. It just display Mi logo and then jump to Fastboot. Most other GSIs won't work as well, it dosen't boot at all. So the only choose is BeastROM 1.6 for laurel_sprout @mdeejay.
BeastROM 1.6
unzip it, and what we need to do is flash system.img ONLY.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
And then reboot to TWRP, wipe data partition.
Edited:
You can find your vbmeta in fastboot ROM of laurus.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
This command is NOT NEEDED if you can disable dm-verity via magisk. You can't boot without disabling dm-verity (stuck on Logo). I don't know how it works. Need some help from devs.
3. Flash Magisk
You HAVE TO flash magisk, or it will stuck on boot animation.
You can do it by "Install Root" in Advanced of TWRP.
Or do it manually by flash Magisk.
4. Flash GApps (Optional)
OpenGApps
Just Flash it in TWRP, nothing more to say. Maybe you need to wipe data again.
I think everything is perfect for now, execpt it's Android 9 instead of 10. At least you can get most of features in Mi A3 and get rid of stupid MIUI
Some stupid idea: for people who wanna get MIUI in laurel_sprout, you can flash system.img in fastboot of laurus. I don't think it will work but it worth trying.
I've tried flashing laurel_sprout image into laurus, it can boot, but it won't work. Screen blinks and it get stuck on welcome page, touching works though.
Fastboot of laurus
Fastboot of laruel_sprout
For people who prefer stock A3 Android One ROM, Here is the method I've tested
con_sau_may_tinh said:
mi cc9e can use stock rom of mi a3 without root, this mean bank app will work perfect
1- flash full rom with miflash (any lower version will not boot) http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.13.0...FMCNXM_20190830.0000.00_9.0_cn_fc9f51f46d.tgz
2- download rom of mi a3, extract file system.img only
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.4.0....0.PFQMIXM_20190815.0000.00_9.0_00838b4c0e.tgz
3- go to fastboot and flash (vbmeta of micc9e)
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot

Are your device Mi CC9e instead of Mi A3? Make sure you're flashing BeastROM 1.6 instead of 2.0 or you'll get stuck on fastboot. And maybe you need to format your data partition in TWRP.

Of course you can, just flash the fastboot ROM of laurus.
Stug on fastboot too

Power and Volume up can make it boot into Recovery.
But if you flashed dtbo and vbmeta of BeastROM 1.6, or maybe you wipe your system partition. , it will be stuck at fastboot and cannot boot (or enter recovery)
One way to fix this is disable dm-verity, just use magisk, you can do it by "Install Root" in Advanced of TWRP. (Flashing magisk manully does the same job)
(However, you can't enter TWRP, so this won't work. )
Another way to disable dm-verity is flash vbmeta with --disable-verity --disable-verification, but I'm not sure whether it works.
Your best chioce is flash the fastboot ROM of laurus and do it again. Remerber to flash magisk in TWRP after flashing system.img, I made a mistake that magisk is not included in BeastROM and you must flash it to disable dm-verity or it will never boot.
im fix it and its ok now,how,i dont know
finaly miui gone,yyyuuhuu
If u update magisk and stug on bootloop,u can start on twrp and flash magisk manualy and reboot in beastrom again
---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------
Just dont use or update to magisk 20,stug on bootloop

And indeed, laurus use exactly the same kernel with laurel_sprout. Most people think laurus is A only and laurel_sprout is A/B, which is almost, but not entirely correct. Devices launched with Android 9 are mandatory to use system-as-root.
In short, laurus MUST flash A/B image instead of A only, just like Mi 9 (cepheus) and Mi Mix 3 (perseus).
I assume that your'phone is unlocked and you've configured ADB and Fastboot.
So, let's start.
1. Flash TWRP
Reboot your laurus to Fastboot with Power + Volume Down.
There's a available TWRP from Chinese developer LR.Team
Download Link
The batch script is in Chinese, but I'm sure you know what to do if you're familar with Fastboot.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-TWRP-3.3.1-0914-XIAOMI_CC9E-CN-wzsx150.img
2. Flash BeastROM 1.6
Although BeastROM 2.0 has released but I can't get it work. It just display Mi logo and then jump to Fastboot. Most other GSIs won't work as well, it dosen't boot at all. So the only choose is BeastROM 1.6 for laurel_sprout @mdeejay.
BeastROM 1.6
unzip it, and what we need to do is flash system.img ONLY.
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
And then reboot to TWRP, wipe data partition.
Edited:
You can find your vbmeta in fastboot ROM of laurus.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
This command is NOT NEEDED if you can disable dm-verity via magisk. You can't boot without disabling dm-verity (stuck on Logo). I don't know how it works. Need some help from devs.
3. Flash Magisk
You HAVE TO flash magisk, or it will stuck on boot animation.
You can do it by "Install Root" in Advanced of TWRP.
Or do it manually by flash Magisk.
4. Flash GApps (Optional)
OpenGApps
Just Flash it in TWRP, nothing more to say. Maybe you need to wipe data again.
I think everything is perfect for now, execpt it's Android 9 instead of 10. At least you can get most of features in Mi A3 and get rid of stupid MIUI
Some stupid idea: for people who wanna get MIUI in laurel_sprout, you can flash system.img in fastboot of laurus. I don't think it will work but it worth trying.
I've tried flashing laurel_sprout image into laurus, it can boot, but it won't work. Screen blinks and it get stuck on welcome page, touching works though.

Some of us Mi A3 users want to use Miui 11 from CC9e, how possible is that. Could you give a tutorial?
Android one is snappy on mi a3, with 6g ram on CC9e it will be really smooth.

[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP8] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 8

Things are changing with the advent of project treble and seamless updates. OnePlus will no longer release ROMs flashable via recovery (either stock) because is no more needed. The updates will be done on the slot not used for example if you are using slot a the update will be installed on slot b and the slot b will be set as default. If you brick and you are in bootloop how you can restore the rom? You can't with Stock ROM you have, because the zip can be only installed via Update Engine, so what can you do? Flash a stock rom via fastboot. I have extracted all images from the stock zip and i have made a new zip with the Fastboot ROM with a flash-all.bat included. This will work only if your bootloader is unlocked. This will erase all your data and will wipe your internal storage.
HOW TO FLASH
This version is only for not branded devices
Download the zip;
Unpack the zip in a folder;
Reboot the OnePlus 8 in fastboot-bootloader mode (Power and volume + and volume-);
Connect the OnePlus 8 to PC;
Run flash-all.bat flasher you need;
Wait until the process end;
The phone will automatically reboot.

Branded devices is for example a Chinese version with HydrogenOS to which OxigenOS has been installed? If so, how can a branded device be recovered?
Thanks
Hi guys, i'm here again to ask for your support, actually with android 10 Google introduced a lot of changing, from dynamic partitions to the new keymaster 4 encryption/decryption. Teamwin is working hard to update TWRP but they will still take some time. Currently some things already work but there are difficulties in bringing them to the OnePlus 8/8 Pro, for example decryption already works but creates some problems on the OnePlus devices. That's why I decided to create a Paypal moneybox to be able to bring you the latest updates in the shortest time possible. As I have previously done, I assure you of a support of at least 2 years (within the limits of my possibilities). In addition to the TWRP I will improve the fastboot roms and add OnePlus 8/8 Pro to my TOOL ALL IN ONE (and maybe I will also bring the RevengeOS). By getting hold of a OnePlus 8 or 8 Pro I will also be able to improve the TWRP for OnePlus 7T and 7T Pro.

I think unbranded devices mean the device bought from T-Mobile or Verizon. Nothing to do with chinese versiion flash oxygenOS, if I'm not wrong.
Can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to flash a stock rom for my OnePlus 8 after bricking it during a rooting process.
The device' bootloader is obviously unlocked and i can get the phone into Fastboot mode and connected to my PC.
The only issue is when i execute the flash-all.bat file, it can't seem to flash any of the files and gives an error consisting of the message "FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions').
What to do guys? Can anyone help me out.
Does anyone know where to find mobile oneplus 8 5g tmobile from mine is bricked I had same error as post above

(Bootloader) charger screen enabled: true
I have already tried "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
It says bootloader already unlocked. I then re lock bootloader which I know is not a good idea( reflash stock with msm tool) and it lock then I try unlock critical command again and it still says device critical unlock: false

Unbrick from fastboot method
I hope I can help someone since I spent the whole night trying various methods to unbrick my Oneplus 8 and only this one worked for me JUST FOR INTERNATIONAL VERSION
You must have the drivers installed (Adb & Fastboot)
You must have your phone with the bootloader unlocked
1.- Download the file
2.-Unzip it
inside you will find Flash-all.bat
3.-Enter Fastboot mode
4.-Double click on the Flash-all.bat command
5.-It will direct you to the recovery, select the English language and restart in fastboot mode so that the process continues, wait for it to finish flashing everything and ready, the phone restarts on the latest version

Pixel 3a (Sargo) Treble Experimentations

I wanted to create a discussion for flashing GSI's and experimentations with Treble on our Pixel 3a. If you're unfamiliar with GSI's and Treble, please check out the wiki and FAQ here. Not all GSI's run flawless on our device, as to be expected, there WILL BE bugs here and there. These methods will wipe userdata, so backup all of your important data before attempting to flash a GSI. Make damn sure you have a way to recover your device in case something goes wrong!
What you'll need:
Fastboot and ADB installed correctly.
Factory image for Sargo - get it here.
An unlocked bootloader.
A GSI to install.
(vbmeta.img / vendor.img can be extracted from our factory image.)
Auto install a GSI:
The Universal Auto GSI Installer by @zedomax works for our device with all the GSI's I have tried from XDA. His instructions and video tutorial is included in the thread. The script is very easy to set up and use to install a GSI.
Manually install a GSI:
Code:
From stock Android 10 or 11
Boot into fastboot, then to fastbootd:
$ fastboot reboot fastboot
Disable verify boot (AVB) by flashing vbmeta.img:
$ fastboot --disable-verification flash --slot all vbmeta vbmeta.img
Find your current slot:
$ fastboot getvar current-slot
Delete the product partition to free up space for the system partition (Current slot):
$ fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
The postfix _a should match the slot ID from our last command.
Erase the system partition:
$ fastboot erase system
Flash the GSI:
$ fastboot flash system system.img
This will take a bit.
Now wipe userdata and reboot:
$ fastboot -w reboot
Other resources regarding flashing GSI's:
Google's instructions.
Known issues and releases.
Android 11 Installation and info, translate to read.
