Yes,it isn't.
However you can easily install Oxygen OS by yourself.:laugh:

Someone should be able to tweak this to fetch OOS files instead of H2OS. Both the firmwares are the same except userdata

Someone should upload this to androidfilehost so there are other places to download incase the original is taken down.

@snowwolf725 ,since I already "came back" from fastboot-ed github/OOS/MSM8998 build, I like to clarify few tips:
-Unbrick via Qualcomm QFIL tools were well documented here and there (Oneplus 1/2/3/3T) ; but Qualcomm never granted free distribution of QualcommQDLoader9008 DRV or QFIL, AND your WindowsPC has to be disabled with integrity checks or antivirus. So it should be considered as the last extreme ultimate rescue.
-For cleaned & original OOS4.5.x back, with certified Playstore (and Magisk SafetyNet), full official Oneplus tools work fine : you need fastboot + original op5recovery with adb_sideload ok ; the main process is to recovery wipe allx3 + fastboot toggle OEM Lock / Unlock + fastboot erase [boot / cache / system / userdata]. The concealed trick is to recovery wipe allx3 once more (official OP5 recovery is re-branded CM/Lineage "re-signed" recovery); these 3x wipes will re-initiate "correct" user partitions from 4x fastboot/erase, with "somewhere" a kind of signature or cert (?), before adb sideloading official OOSzip.
-Then, only use official twrp for limited Magisk SafetyNet.
-IMHO, crucial persist (img /dev/block/sda2) should also be backup(, like modemst1&2 ), for advanced testers only.
(I'm not here begging for thx), but if you succeed back to "pure certified" OOS, give your thx (for others user attention) here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/oos-darkware-fullvendor-building-t3637344 ; AND take time to check the attached Oneplus5 full "sparted" partitions txt: you "must" have identical partitioning.

@oF2pks if I get your process correctly, for a clean flash, Flash all needs to be done 3 times with the stock recovery followed by OEM lock and post that the last step is to fastboot erase boot/system/user data/cache followed by adb sideload of the stock firmware?

On this subject, we need a return to stock guide for the OP5 :good: Fine writeup oF2pks! :highfive:

Okay - my writeup of the above quick instructions:
The end goal of this process
To return your One Plus 5 (codename Cheeseburger) back to 100% STOCK condition - both recovery and ROM. OEM status will be unlocked, but this is not an issue for OTA etc. This status will be suitable to you if you wish to "start over" with the phone, sell it, or similair.
Steps
Preparation:
1. Make sure you have a WORKING ADB and Fastboot setup on your computer. I recommend the ADB tool found here:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cannot-read-ota-zip.457965/#post-15957941
I had the problem "* cannot read 'D:\OP5.zip' *", but the ADB tools from the above link solved this :good:
Notice the revision difference here: https://i.imgur.com/JurOcUf.png (green = Good, working version, red = the version that failed)
2. Download the ORIGINAL OnePlus5 recovery image, AND the FULL ZIP for the stock OOS ROM - NOT an OTA image ([OFFICIAL] OxygenOS 4.5.6 (7.1.1) OTA for OnePlus 5, posted by @Funk Wizard in the 2nd post - thanks dude :highfive: )
The process:
3. Flash the stock recovery -- Command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Boot stock recovery by rebooting the phone and press VOL+UP within 5 seconds to interrupt the process.
4a. Select Recovery with VOL buttons. Confirm with power button
4b. Choose your language in the recovery and select wipe data and cache and then Erase everything
4c. Select DONE, not reboot. Select erase everything 2 times more (so you have erased it all three times in total).
5. Reboot the phone into fastboot again, and type fastboot oem lock - confirm and let it reboot.
6. Reboot the phone into fastboot again, and type fastboot oem unlock - confirm and let it reboot.
(if you wish to have a unlocked bootloader, this allows you to flash a custom recovery and thus install custom roms).
7. Boot into fastboot mode. Now we will manually wipe and format cache, system and userdata. paste this command into the commandprompt:
fastboot erase cache & fastboot erase system & fastboot erase userdata
- This will run the 3 commands after each other.
8. Repeat step 4, 4a, 4b and 4c again. In 4c only a single "erase everything" is needed.
9. Reboot into recovery again, select Install from ADB - this will enter the sideload mode, allowing you to install ZIP (flash it) from the PC.
10. Yay. 10 step Anniversary - dont we love it?!:good::highfive:
11. Enter adb sideload C:\path\to\full\OOS\stock\rom.zip
12. The CMD window will say "serving (1%)", etc... After a good while, the phone will say Install success - reboot the phone.
Thats it! :good: 100% STOCK!

I don't know, this seems way too complicated to do.
If you are on official OnePlus firmware, just place the full zip or OxygenOS and flash using local update in settings. It's as simple as that. If you are on TWRP or custom recovery, also flash the stock recovery image.
If you are custom firmware, use TWRP to flash OxygenOS zip and then flash stock recovery. Then wipe data and cache.
Assuming that your phone is functioning properly, why would you need to use ADB sideload commands for any of these? And why on earth are you unlocking the bootloader? You do know that "fastboot oem unlock" unlocks the bootloader right?
Also check out my guide for a more in-depth but easier way of doing things.
If your phone cannot boot up, use the unbrick tool posted by OP. You will end up with a working phone but with HydrogenOS. Then flash OxygenOS on top of HydrogenOS. Wipe data and cache if needed.

I am aware that the process above is HIGHLY complicated - and is often not necessary.
At the time of my post, my phone was in a state where I had been doing crazy things with it (decrypted data, multiple custom ROMs and TWRP versions, including multiboot variants and the chinese one. On top of that I had flashed the am-verity and force decryption patch zip). This is as such not unusual, but my attempts to return to stock had failed (stock ROM zip failed to flash, stock recovery were wierd as well).
Therefore, when the quick layout for COMPLETE STOCK were outlined above, I grabbed them and did the process, while documenting it for future reference for others. Also, I choose to include the oem unlock and lock part - though I am fully and completely aware that it's unnecessary to 99% of the readers, after all this is One Plus phones
I had not been able to find any other sources of the steps outlined, though they may be simple, so I took all the steps how ever overkill they might be, because then there would be a documented process
The steps above would recover a One Plus 5 from a state where only adb works, pretty serious condition indeed....
I'm staying on OOS based custom ROMs as long as the blobs for the camera is undisclosed by One Plus. I haven't had time to reply to this sooner, have a great weekend, and @asonwsc, I agree with you :highfive:
Kind Regards

Even with a locked bootloader and a certified Playstore on unrooted device , you can miss security checks : try MagiskApp for SafetyNet test + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cigital.safetynetplayground WITHOUT active su (root).
The only way to recover "factory"-like OP5 device is to follow fastboot/erase4 by recovery/wipes3, and thus you need to unlock. Then sideload original OOS/H2O
You can relock before entering Oneplus' Wizard settings (reboot physical power button long press) and sale OP5 like effective brand NEW.
( @TwinAdk don't get why you "missed" [fastboot erase boot.img] ; still prefer my R&B "style": https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/help/oos-darkware-fullvendor-building-t3637344 )

But if the device is considered certified on the play store, then it passed SafetyNet without an issue.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't SafetyNet pass under the following conditions?
1. Locked bootloader with no root (stock)
2. Unlocked bootloader with Magisk root.
Is it actually possible for a locked bootloader and unrooted phone to fail SafetyNet? You can't root without the unlocking the bootloader, so how would that trigger SafetyNet?

Agh, plain AOSP. I miss Havoc already.

Testing it out and everything thing seems smooth. I did find one minor issue for the people that like their temperatures in imperial units. You can change the lockscreen temp to imperial and it displays an F for farenheit but the temperature value is still Cecius.

Flashed twrp using minimal adb to recovery and recovery_b. Flashed arrow after formatting. Now I have no mobile data connection. Also getting: access point name settings are not available for this user, under apn. Tried fastboot erase modemst2, resetting, installing other roms doesn't work either. I'm on XT2041DL. Thoughts?

You will need to go back to rooted stock, and copy your apn_conf.xml file from product/etc to your sd card, amd replace it on arrow (or another rom)

Closest thing to havoc is crDroid ATM mate, it's on the forums here

This ROM is marked as only being compatible with sofiar, but I can confirm that everything seems to work on my sofia device.

Also, I had a problem when installing and I thought I should warn others. When I tried to install with TWRP, it failed and always booted back to TWRP when I tried to boot to system. When I tried the fastbootd method, it also failed because fastbootd is not available when TWRP is installed. Instead, I did this:
1. Skip the step of installing TWRP. It messes things up. You may be able to install it later, but I don't want to take my chances.
2. For the "format data" part in TWRP, run
Code:
fastboot -w
instead.
3. Instead of rebooting to fastboot from TWRP, run
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
.
4. Continue with the steps of installing boot, vbmeta, product, and system with fastboot.
Edit: It turns out I was using the wrong build of TWRP. Use the one linked in the original post, not the one elsewhere on the forums.

I just noticed that. I was using the TWRP build from https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sofia-p-r-recovery-wip-twrp-3-4-0-0.4128353/ because I assumed that was what the link was for. Thank you.

Apps aren't able to see registered fingerprints. Fingerprint auth is grayed out and the apps complain "register fingerprints on the device settings".
I have tried:
Deleting and redoing fingerprints (just one and multiple) with and without rebooting.
Confirmed the fingerprints work for screen unlock and gestures.
Re-installed 08-04-21 Vanilla build with full format, issue persists.
Anything I missed to check? I do not have my phone rooted, so cannot see system logs using the logging app.
Using sofiar (moto g8 power). Tested the apps themselves on my second phone klte (Samsung S5 Lineageos 16) and fingerprints work just fine there.

Ok so I am so frustrated with this Moto G power , If anyone can please tell me what I am doing wrong...I have rooted and ran mutliple custome roms since back in the Jelly bean days but I have always been able to do all the fundamentals of owning root and making the most of my phone.. You guys have always been helpful . SO when i attempt flash a custom rom through adb folder ( because I think you cannot flash custom roms with twrp at all) attemtp to follow your instructions to the T
but every time after install of custom , and thats any custom rom i try to boot it up for first time , prior to re-twrping, adding gapps, or magisk rooting and it literally just stays on the new rom animation for hours until i give up and I have to rescue it with lenovo'S rescue tool . Any help would be awesome ?

You need to install the official android 10 rom to your phone using the moto flash tool linked in the first post. After that you can install custom roms from fastbootd with the first page instructions.
Android 11 official rom has some changed encryption stuff which I think is responsible for the infinite boot on custom roms when flashed over it. That's why you need to downgrade to android 10 first.

ok because I am on android 11 when it is back to stock flashed. I am using the lenovo tool and it is installing rpms31.q1.54-13-2_subsidy . So to clarify I need to roll back to android 10 to be able to flash any custom roms ? Or is there 11s that will work with a different method to flash them?

I'm not the person with the problem, but thank you for the explanation. I installed my ROMs before Android 11 came out for this phone and I was planning to test the stock Android 11 ROM, so this information will be very useful.

ok because I am on android 11 when it is back to stock flashed. I am using the lenovo tool and it is installing rpms31.q1.54-13-2_subsidy . So to clarify I need to roll back to android 10 to be able to flash any custom roms ? Or is there 11s that will work with a different method to flash them?

I believe you have to roll back to Android 10. Custom Android 11 ROMs may work, but you can't install custom ROMs so that doesn't help.

actually it is rescuing me to android 11 no matter what i do

TWRP & MAGISK - Can not install twrp custom recovery or magisk ;-;

I have a Redmi 9 Lancelot with A partition only , bootloader unlocked and i installed twrp 3.4.1 unofficial image in platform-tools folder in my PC.
I connected the device to laptop and write:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And
fastboot reboot
And went in soft brick (bootloop), i unbricked it with fastboot commands. But is it possible to install twrp recovery to install magisk on my phone?
*Sorry for grammar that is my first post and i am a beginer ((
*Also I had a backup soo didn't lose data
after that i tried to install magisk with no custom recovery:
1. Installed magisk version 22
2. get the boot.img (a time I soft bricked my phone Redmi 9 Lancelot bootloader unlocked) the boot.img its for the same MIUI version of my phone
3. copied the boot.img to downloads folder, installed magisc V 22, generated the patched magisk file (magisk_patched_JsCNt.img)
4. enabled USB debuging, USB instalation and USB security debug
5. opened the CMD as administrator in platform tools folder with magisk_patched_JsCNt.img in it
6. My device its only A partition i checked with an app from an another tutorial (yours)
and
wrote
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_JsCNt.img
fastboot reboot
7. device entered SOFT BRICK (bootloop) and i unbricked it with fastboot comands
8. PLS tell me what did I do wrong PLEASE.

I had the same problem and found that this is the only solution.
The twrp im using is from this website: https://unofficialtwrp.com/xiaomi-redmi-9-root-twrp-3-4-1/
1. Download latest miui rom https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lancelot/ (make sure its "fastboot", you will need the boot.img later).
2. Flash it with "mi flash tool". Then download the magisk apk from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
3. In the .tgz miui rom file find boot.img and copy it to your phone (you will need to extract it).
4. Patch the boot.img with the magisk app and copy it to your pc (the patched boot.img should be in your downloads folder)
5. Put your phone into fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader), and flash the patched boot.img and vbmeta.img (you can find vbmeta on the site with custom twrp) - fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-[...].img, fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
6. After this reboot your phone and you should have magisk with root access.
* 7. Now you can flash twrp recovery with app from play store "flashify", you`ll just need to give it root access.
Last step is just if you want the twrp for flashing anything else.
Done

and now i am unbricking my phone bro

Got the same issue, as op, but my Phone simply ignores my try to enter bootloader, both from adb and from physical buttons. Got bootloop yesterday with hardbrick, but managed to reflash it with Official miui 12.0.4 Lancelot software FROM 31st of March 2021 version. Still not being able to put twrp, pbrp to it, no matter if i do it with vbmeta, or without. Few different versions had need tried already (to twrp), but no success. Once or twice, at the very beginning (before reflashing Whole rom) i got into twrp, but after restart Phone opened Stock recovery instead of twrp and my next try of putting it back in Phone resulted in bootloop, ay lmao xD
I'm Not sure now, what to do? I remembered having the same issue back in my first tulip days, but I cannot resemble a solution to it anymore.
There are no Official twrp or pbrp for this model, could it be the issue?

How to install GSI ROM on OnePlus n100.

Good morning guys.

bentalebnordine said:
Recently I installed lineage os 11 gsi rom on my OnePlus n100 and I wanted to share this experience with you guys :

Click to collapse
- First you need to download This mini sdk
one_plus_nord_sdk.zip
drive.google.com
It is necessary for the cmd commands to work
- you need also to install the drivers , just go to
Universal ADB Drivers
OnePlus-USB-Drivers.zip
drive.google.com
You need to install both drivers clockworkmod and one plus drivers.
- To unlock the bootloader of your oneplus device just connect it to a Windows computer with USB debugging on and run the following commands from the mini sdk folder that just downloaded
adb devices
Then check your device for confirmation. Then
adb reboot bootloader
Then run the command
fastboot oem unlock
A factory screen will pop-up asking for confirmation, you need to confirm using the volume buttons and the power button.
The phone will reboot into recovery and wipe the data. Please do not interrupt this process or the device will not boot anymore.
So just be patient until the phone finishes booting and set it up and turn the USB debugging on.
bentalebnordine said:
2: after that you need to boot your device on fastboot mode, simply by running the code
adb reboot bootloader
And run the command
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Then this command
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note that you need to flash both files only once, unless you returned to stock rom.
bentalebnordine said:
Then run the command
fastboot reboot fastboot
Then flash the system of your choice by visiting
Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS
Treble-Enabled Device Development A/AB ROMS
forum.xda-developers.com
Note that the file downloaded would be in Xz format, so you need to extract it with 7zip or beanzip and put it on sdk folder.
The file downloaded must end with arm64_bvS.img. Xz and not with arm64_avS.img.xz (bvS not avS) or the phone will stuck on bootloop.
And the file extracted must not exceed 2.6 gB or you will get an error of resizing the system partition.
After flashing the system with the command
fastboot flash system <your system >.img
Run the command
fastboot -w
And finely the command
fastboot reboot
And good luck.

If you updated to Android 11 Oxygen OS 11 you need to switch slots by running the command
fastboot --set-active=a
Because android 11 were installed in the b slot.
If you have a problem booting into fastboot mode try extracting the mini sdk provided in the tmp folder on your desktop computer.
The working Android versions are 10,11,12. Now I am running Resurrection Remix ROM android 10 just amazing

Some information you should know about knowing what type of gsi it is
<ARCH>_xyZ
<ARCH> can either be arm, a64 (arm32_binder64) or arm64
x can either be a or b
y can either be v, o, g or f
Z can be N or S
b = a/b
a = a-only
g = gapps
o = gapps-go
v = vanilla (no gapps included)
f = floss (free & open source apps instead gapps)
N = no superuser
S = superuser included
Z = dynamic superuser included
-lite = for VNDK Lite vendors (also can help with broken camera even on normal VNDK vendors)
so in most common example "arm64_avZ" is ARM64 A-only vanilla with dynamic superuser
you can simply look to the attached text file.

I am unable to flash any of the .bvs.img gsi files on a Metropcs (11) phone -- BE2015 following the guide. Bootloader is unlocked.
Any help is appreciated.

Me I have a BE2013 variant and I was able to flash it with gsi roms using just this guide. I should mention that I am not an expert on rom development.

If I am not mistaken, the BE2013 variant is the global factory unlocked. If so, then maybe these carrier devices will not work with your excellent guide. That being said, I was able to get the DSU to work fine -- AOSP 12.

If you're on the Metro firmware it's a bit tricky. You'll most likely have to still be running Android 10 but you can decrypt the data partition and mount system r/w. After you've accomplished that then it's a piece of cake. Follow this thread, I've been able to remount the system partition read/write on both my Google Pixel running Android 11 and Metro Firmware of OnePlus Nord n100. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-superrw-featuring-makerw-read-write.4247311/

I'm running Project Arcana Android 12 GSI on my n100 without any issues. I've flashed serval different GSI ROMS but it's by far the best. There's a few things you need to know to successfully flash it but if the steps are followed exactly it's not a problem at all. Here are a few screenshots. It passes safety net basically out the gate with Magisk installed. You'll definitely have to flash the Global firmware to the Metro variant If you happen to be on that version. Luckily, if that's the case someone has already created a modified MSM flash tool that works without any other modifications.

There's no verified instructions on this but I took the liberty to upload the necessary files to my Google drive that I used to successfully flash this GSI. First and foremost you'll need to revert back to the global stock firmware 10.5.5 using the msm tool. If you're on the the European firmware then I'm not sure if this will work for you or not and it definitely won't work on the Metropcs version but if you happen to be on the Metro version then you can flash the Global firmware to that device which is what I did. Once you're on stock 10.5.5 enable debugging and oem unlock in developer options and reboot to bootloader. If your bootloader isn't already unlocked enter the command fastboot flashing unlock_critical and use the volume keys to select unlock the bootloader. Your device will be wiped. Wait for the system to reboot then go back into developer options and enable debugging again. Once again reboot to the bootloader. Once there enter the command fastboot -w and wait for it to finish. Once it's complete enter fastboot reboot fastboot and wait to enter fastbootd mode. Use the vendor.img that's included in the zip file I have linked and enter fastboot flash vendor_a (name of vendor).img. Once it's complete enter fastboot reboot bootloader. Once you're back into the bootloader interface enter fastboot -w and wait for it to complete. Then with the twrp file I've supplied enter fastboot boot twrp10.img to boot to recovery (Don't flash only boot!!) When you enter recovery choose wipe, then format data and type yes. Reboot to the bootloader once again. Enter fastboot reboot fastboot and wait to enter fastbootd mode. Once there enter fastboot flash product_a product_gsi.img. Then enter fastboot erase system_a. Next enter fastboot resize-logical-partition system_a 4210000000. Once that's complete enter fastboot reboot bootloader. Once you're in the bootloader enter fastboot -w once again. Once complete boot back to twrp with fastboot boot twrp10.img. This is when you'll flash the GSI and it has to be loaded on your sdcard. Flash it to the system partition and reboot to the bootloader once it's complete. Your next move is important if you want it to boot. Again with the images I've supplied enter fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img then fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img. Now you can reboot to the system. For some reason twrp won't boot anymore once this GSI is flashed so I've also included the stock boot.img you can patch with Magisk and flash via fastboot to root and pass safety net.

Thank you very much my friend for the help, I have the E2013 and it worked.

Awesome, I'm glad to hear it boots on the E2013. If you're on the the Metro version as I was it's difficult but not impossible. Unfortunately for myself I had no guide, just a few pieces of information I picked up here and there that I was able to bundle together into one long process. The great thing about OnePlus is the MSM flash tool. I've flashed firmware from just about every Android manufacturer but it's by far the easiest if you happen to brick your device. So easy even someone with no prior experience wouldn't have an issue using it.
I'd also like to mention that if you're into theming your device, the infamous dev kdragOn has developed an app called repainter that's quite amazing and works really well on this device and ROM. I'm in no way affiliated with him or the advertisement of his app but just making an honest recommendation

Can I ask a stupid question most likely. I have the BE2015 variant and I followed your instructions to a T and they worked so thank you very much for that.
However if I wish to use another ROM as myself I personally like Android 10 which ROM would you recommend works with our devices? I tried using LineageOS but the Gapps file does not want to install each time I get error.
Edit: Might be time I update my signature lol

Go to this page you will find extra details about how to resize system partition and install larger system files.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/conversations/gsi-roms.14701453/#convMessage-15038845

Okay I just want to say thank you first and foremost to @bentalebnordine and @sdflowers32 because without your both helpful and informative guides I would have taken much longer lol! I can get a guide going completely. With the above guide that sdflowers posted make sure you follow this to a T or you won't boot trust me. Also the GSI images that work best for our device must be the following
system-arm64-ab-img.xz and they will work with no issues I'll put up a cleaned up guide as well to hopefully help others but again this is all only possible with the help of you two first and foremost so thank you!

DOT (Droid on Time) is another GSI that works beautifully on this device but it's Android 11. I personally haven't tried any 10 GSI'S. If you want to update to 11 through stock firmware I already have a DOT super.img I repacked that I'm pretty sure can be flashed without issues with the Android 11 twrp for this device and I'm certain can be flashed via fastbootd mode. Other than project arcana it's the only one I've been impressed with and I've flashed 7 or 8. At least 3 of them I could never get to completely boot after trying every trick of the trade. Arcana is by far the best but DOT runs a tight race. If interested let me know and I'll upload the super.img. I packed it myself so if I ever get bored and just want to go back it would be a much less painless process to flash and I've tested it and it works perfectly.

Thank you very much that would be great! I just downloaded DOT to try it out. I used it before on my 7T and it's great. I just am stubborn I'll say where I like Android 10 the most and 11 not bad but 12 I just don't like the interface and magisk 24 especially for what I do with the phones. I ideally would love to be able to use lineage but when it came time to flash Gapps I kept getting storage error even with resizing. I just want to again say seriously thank you so much without your guide I'd still be screwed

Instructions for flashing DOT GSI
(Start by flashing to stock 10.5.5 with the MSM tool for the device and follow the previous instructions to unlock the bootloader but only to this point)
I decided to edit this because it's been so long since I've removed encryption on this device I completely left out the steps to do so which are imperative. It's much easier to remove encryption on Android 10 than 11 with this device but as far as I know this is the sure fire way to flash an Android 11 GSI on this device. Maybe it can be flashed from 10 but I can't guarantee it as I can with this so here is the revised instructions.
1. Use the MSM tool to revert back to stock and unlock the bootloader
2. Upgrade OTA as far as you can up until version 11.0.4 (Most likely you'll have to use the file I've included in the attachment and perform a local upgrade by placing the zip file in your internal storage to get on this version) Remember this is only for the global firmware but it can be cross flashed with a modded MSM tool.
3. Once you're on 11.0.4 you'll need to format an SD card to exfat which can be done easily with windows because you're going to have to place the super.img on it to be flashed in TWRP. Android supports exfat but for reasons beyond my understanding when you purchase an SD card for Android it comes formatted as fat32 which has a 4 gig limitation.
4. Unzip the 11.0.4 super.img and load it on the SD card along with Magisk.apk. You can either rename the extension from Magisk.apk to Magisk.zip and keep just the one file on your card or copy it and place them both on but nevertheless you'll need the zip file to flash in TWRP after flashing the super partition. Use the TWRP11.img provided in this devices thread and have it placed in your platform-tools folder on PC. Reboot to the bootloader and enter fastboot boot twrp11.img (Or whatever the name of the image happens to be). Once you're in recovery choose wipe, format data and enter yes. Go back and choose install image then select the super11.0.4.img and flash to the super partition. Go back and flash Magisk.zip.
5. Now boot to the bootloader and with the volume keys enter stock recovery.
6. Wipe Data, Cache and System and reboot. I usually reboot back to the bootloader then boot TWRP again just to make sure I can mount all partitions assuring that the device is decrypted.
7. Now all you have to do is place the DOT_SUPER.img on your SD just as you previously did, wipe and format data, then flash it to the super partition just as you did with the stock 11.0.4 super. The boot image is provided as well but I wouldn't advise uninstalling Magisk. Upgrade if you like but it may not boot if you flash the stock boot.img

We don't know where you went wrong either because you didn't list the steps you took or what GSI you flashed or what stock ROM you started from. Or where you are looping.

starting firmware: X200ZCU2CWD3
Steps: 1. Unlock BL
2. flash TWRP via Odin V3.14
3. Format data partition
4. flash dm-verity disabler (File name: Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt)
5. reboot to fastbootd mode (using TWRP reboot menu)
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system "img path"
8. fastboot -w
9. fastboot reboot

Don't flash dm-verity disabler for this device and the GSI should boot as long as it's compatible

Without this alway bootloop logo too.
1. Extract the IMG to the adb folder and rename it system.img
2. Flash TWRP with ODIN
3. When booting into TWRP using the Volume up and Power key, select reboot and then fast boot.
4. When you get there, go on your PC and open cmd with the adb folder.
5. Now type fastboot devices just make sure you have the device connect properly. Type fastboot -w after.
6. Type "fastboot flash system system.img" press enter and wait for it to finish. The last line should be be where you can type other commands.
7. When its finished, type fastboot reboot fastboot.

What exact GSI and build are you trying to install? There are only a few that are compatible, otherwise you're not gonna have any other luck flashing

I tryed with on my X200XXU2CWC1 firmware:
lineage-19.1-20230418-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img
lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img
lineage-20.0-20230325-UNOFFICIAL-a64_bgN.img
Old version too but the same result...
Which version we are sure that works?

Make sure you are only trying to flash arm64 builds for this device
Both 19.1-20230418 and 20.0-20230324 do install properly but there's certain bugs that make them unfit to be used as a daily driver.
If you're looking for the latest build where everything works (including bluetooth) flash 20.0-20230218

You left out the step to format data and factory wipe.

That's right!
How is it normal to do this command after having flashed a ROM ???
Once done, I boot of course on lineage after a few moments on the Samsung logo.
Which version of lineage is the most stable, 19 (Android 12) or 20 (Android 13)?
Thank you both for your help.

TWRP and fastboot can't handle the encrypted data partition. So you need to format it. Current versions of LOS re-encrypt it as soon as you boot to system. And you can't use dm-verity on this model, so you can't disable it.

Did you try this build before or after the realization you had left out the steps to wipe and factory reset?

Has anyone managed to install a GSI on the SM-X200 with X200XXU2CWC1 firmware? I tried different LOS 20 and LOS 19 GSIs, with and without GAPPS, including the ones mentioned earlier from March and April, but did not succeed a single time. The tablet gets always stuck in a boot loop. I flashed via TWRP and wiped and formatted data every time.
Is it possibly the vendor firmware (SW rev. 2) that prevents the GSI from running? All guides from this forum seems to relate to a SW rev. 1 firmware like X200XXS1CWA3.

If you mean you used the "Install" button in TWRP to flash, then that is your mistake. The "Install" button only has the option to flash the "Super" partition and not the "System". You need to use "Fastboot" to flash the system image. I flashed from CWD2 which is even later than CWC1, so that shouldn't be a problem. If it was, then TWRP wouldn't have worked. I'm running LOS 20 20300507 bgN.

No, I used TWRP to get into fastboot mode and said fastboot flash system ...img. I have no idea what I did wrong. Previously I flashed Lineage on a couple of Samsung Tablets (SM-T510, SM-T505).

There are only certain LOS builds that work with this device, you're wasting your time if you are blindly flashing random ones.
Refer to earlier posts to confirm which ones do work. And like @lewmur just reported the newest build 20300507 bgN does flash successfully

The 20230507 bgN was actually the first build I tried before I went to older variants, including the 20220814 bgN that is mentioned in a different thread.
@lewmur : Did you do a clean flash and format data before you installed the 20230507 build on the CWD2 firmware? There might be some issues with format data and the TWRP 3.7.0-12.2 from this forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-for-2021-galaxy-tab-a8-10-5-sm-x200.4488691/) on the latest kernel. After I format data in TWRP, the tablet is recognized as writable media in Windows, but I get reading and writing errors when I try to access the about 22 GB large partition.
I know that it is impossible to roll back the bootloader to revision 1, but may it be possible that I extract and flash a kernel from the X200XXS1CWA3 to further investigate this issue?

You must do a clean flash. The purpose of formatting the data partition is to get rid of the encryption. TWRP can't handle the encryption. And LOS will re-encrypt it the first time you boot to system. As to extracting the kernel from CWA3, I don't advise doing that. It could hard brick the tablet.
