Hi,
I've seen this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/treble-lineageos-15-1-beta-t3790991
in that post, there are these instructions:
Download the latest build and GApps
Reboot to recovery
Backup & Wipe(system,data,vendor,cache,dalvik)
Flash & Reboot
I don't know how to perform the last step (flash and reboot), and it's not clear to me what to flash exactly, and how (do I use the MI flash tool? do I use TWRP?)
I've googled a few times, and tried some maunals, but each time something happens that is different from what is said in the manual... so I'm kind of lost... does anyone have a link to a good manual for newbies on how to install this custom rom? for instance, I don't understand what is GApps and Treble... please help
thank you
Here's your guide... https://devsjournal.com/guide-from-rooting-to-installing-custom-roms.html
Also remember... YouTube is your friend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWsLQWmg4II
In general terms it's the same process for al roms, you don't need to understand what Treble is, only verify that your recovery (TWRP) supports Treble (go to te page where you downloaded and check).
Gapps are the "default" google apps, if you want to have Play Store, Google search, Google Assistant (and more bloatware like that) you must flash the Gapps. I recommend you to search "Gapps comparison" and see what versions have the apps you want, for example I usually use Micro or Nano.
You can download gapps from here: https://opengapps.org
Select ARM64 then 8.1.0 and what type of gapps do u want.
And last, only for that rom (LineageOS) in the post you share, check the downloads section, there you have the recovery you must use and the rom. Good luck.
I have the PRA-LX1 with already unlocked bootloader and got it rooted with TWRP + Magisk before the last OTA.
I'm not a beginner with rooting this phone but only got Problems with installing any Treble Rom (tried Lineage and Aosp) and every try ended with a bootloop I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
So please can anyone give me a step by step instruction?
Which Treble Rom is a good one and recommended for this phone?
Which TWRP do I need?
And how exactly do I flash them correctly? What do I wipe?
Sorry for this noob questions but I failed so many times with Treble and don't want to do the reinstall with erecovery for the 10000 time :crying:
Thanks

Yes. if u still get bootloop flash stock recovery and ramdisk first then flash gsi. make sure u factory reset on stock recovery after u flash gsi.

That makes no sense to me sorry

I googled it, pretty much every source says that you require a custom recovery in order to flash a GSI or any custom ROM.

Oh, well that's pretty cool. Either way, I just tried flashing Official Resurrection Remix GSI with no luck. Stock recovery, attempted to flash through fastboot and it just gives me a bootloop, exactly like TWRP does. Followed the guide you linked to etc, just keeps rebooting.

Well, I finally got it all working.
You know the risks, don't blame me if something goes wrong, I did these exact steps to manage to root my phone without breaking it. C432, Dual SIM and PRA-LX1.
Have everything stock before following this short guide: Firmware, all stock recovery etc.
Installing the ROM and GApps
First, download necessary GSI files.
(Personally I got Official Oreo Resurrection Remix, here).
(Although you could find yourself using virtually any other GSI, I like the look and feel of RR, though I'll be changing my boot animation with root). Many people would probably recommend you to use something like an AOSP, or LOS which I was also considering on installing. They may also come bundled with GApps, which would negate the later need for installation or download of separate GApps.
This may include GAPPS but you should understand this from the GSI page, so for example on RR I had to download both the latest base ROM .img and the micro GApps.
So to do this I had to use the right architecture (For the P8 Lite 2017, this is ARMx64, do your good research, since my problem was getting this wrong with my PRA-LX1 (Mine was A-ONLY), this stands for the base ROM and GApps.
After this I actually didn't use TWRP as user @ppdr07 advised. I followed the guide he linked us to and did as so, without following the -u command, since it wasn't working for me (didn't affect anything, try it, if it doesn't work, just take that bit out).
The ROM ended up installing and posting through, everything set up perfectly.
After this I was like "Huh, so what now? How am I to flash GApps on this without TWRP?". I went for it and booted into fastboot where I flashed Askuccio's TWRP for hi6250 devices. At this point I worried that the ROM wouldn't post again - though it did, so from there I enabled dev options and switched on advanced power options just for ease of usage. From there I rebooted straight to recovery which posted fine, too.
At this point, you need to flash the GApps. Go for the one that the original GSI page recommends. Flash it to the System Image partition. Don't wipe anything. At this point I recommend that if you realise that you forgot to transfer any files to the SD card, you should do it from the system. It works better compared to the MTP on TWRP. Either way, that should work properly. Now, reboot the system, and it should work perfectly.
Enjoy, it took me months to get to this point lol
Rooting Your New ROM With Magisk
(Before installing this consider the other root options. I believe there's SuperSU and another possibly that I'm less aware of. Either way, in my opinion Magisk comes with the most benefits so I'll be helping you out with that).
After this I ended up flashing Magisk in order to use Snapchat and other apps similar to it. Firstly you'll want to set up Google stuff which has been newly added to the system, and then you'll want to go to chrome and download the Magisk Manager .apk from here. The main and most reliable place to get it is from the creator's project page found here, all main links stand out in the middle fairly well.
(Remember to enable downloading of unknown apps for Chrome in it's app settings, otherwise it won't download or install.)
If it still doesn't work at this point, I ended up holding down on the Magisk Manager link and pressing Download Link (or something to that effect). From this point just install it as you would any other out-of-store app.
Now, you'll need to download these two files from the Magisk page onto your computer: Stable Installer and Uninstaller. Next, while booted into Android, copy them over to either Internal or External storage and when it's done, reboot into TWRP again, either by advanced power menu or using the button commands for recovery. Personally, I think I need the power options with this phone.
In TWRP, simply go to Install, navigate to /externalsd/***[WHEREVER YOU PLACED YOUR MAGISK FILES]***, then install the Magisk installer .zip. If unchanged, the filename should be something like "Magisk-v17.1.zip". Install it, then give rebooting a go. Hopefully it'll post, if not, go back into TWRP and run the Uninstaller .zip, it's saved me a bunch of times.
Unblocking Apps That Say Something Like "Your Phone is Rooted or Modified, no access blah blah blah..."
(Snapchat is the example used here. It won't work upon login if you don't follow this step. Some apps don't work with this alone however, though somebody may have produced a separate guide or easily installable Magisk module with a solution for it. One that won't be fixed singularly with Magisk Hide is Google Pay).
After posting, if you need to unblock Snapchat or something, go to Magisk Manager (which should now be more green), open the top left context menu, tap on Magisk Hide, and search "snap" until you see the Snapchat logo pop up, then select it, then back out with the back button. It should stay selected in Magisk, and the app should now be usable and shouldn't give you any annoying errors, if not give it a reboot and see if it's solved.
Good luck!
Hi there,
I read many old threads but I'm as confused as I can be. Some say there's no need to unlock the bootloader because you can just flash TWRP from ADB and root... other say you have to unlock the bootloader first. Anyway, I only find mixed and confused information.
Could someone please recap what should I do? I already downloaded the RR Oreo ROM, ready to be flashed...
Thanks a lot!

So here is a quik guide (skip steps if allready done)
- make sure stock ROM is latest (update)
1. Need to unlock bootloader (to be able to install TWRP)
- do it on moto official site. Just follow the steps there. Read carfeully
- install android sdk at best OR if want save space Google "simple adb installer xda"
2. Install TWRP (to be able flash ROMs or get ROOT)
- download latest version from TWRP site for our model (.img file - need only flash once)
- flash it via fastboot (google for the exact process for our moto on xda)
- boot into TWRP from bootloader menu (recovery in bootloader menu)
4. Installing a ROM:
Connect to PC while in TWRP (here you can backup your stock rom TO SD card, recommend)
- put ROM zip + GApps (GoogleApps - use Opengapps website: ARM32/8.1 for oreo/micro
& Magisk zip for ROOT (dl from xda) on your phone or SD card storage.
If switching ROMs, a clean flash IS needed: (all in TWRP)
Wipe - factory reset
Install ROM zip
Install gapps.zip
Install magisk zip
- boot & profit.
Good luck, ifs something unclear, ask!
peace.
Here's the guide I'm following https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a80/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a80-t4000729 ive already installed twrp and im trying to install magisk. it says for stock roms:
Push the recovery.img*file*you just download for TWRP to your*phone. Open*Magisk*Manager* use this custom source for version 19.4 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bl...r/ianmacd.json
Restart magisk manaher
I'm not sure how the guide is saying to install magisk, can anyone explain what I'm supposed to do more clearly?
nevermind
