Possibility to install GSI? - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I have a WW Rog Phone II
According to
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki
The rog phone II has a tick next to it, so that would suggest that someone has managed to run a GSI on it.
Can anyone confirm and provide full steps to go from 100% stock to GSI again, ideally confirming it worked for you beforehand (I don't want to loose all my data unlocking my bootloader and flashing only to have to return to stock.)
The bootloader unlock tool on
https://www.asus.com/tw/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_Download/
Does this work for WW variants or just CN
Thank you in advance,
To those who help - YOU ROCK

Chances are Google will come pre-installed, problem is with vendor rom as well just follow the guides (in the guide section, you don't have to root if you flash genuine Chinese ROM don't even need TWRP. If you want EU ROM then TWRP is needed but not root, need to flash dm-verify before first boot if you don't root. If you go Chinese ROM can get Google from mi store.
Hi,
Your device should come with a Vendor ROM pre-installed which already has all the Google apps built in.
Its okay to use the vendor ROM if you dont mind not getting any updates. Just check with Malwarebytes to see if there is any malware. Malwarebytes flagged the default MIUI Notes app as a downloader trojan for me and a few others.
I personally wouldnt advice being on the Vendor ROM but thats just my opinion.
Anyway, as you wait for your phone to arrive, you can try applying for an Unlock code using the guide posted by underlines.
I would recommend switching to the EU ROM as it is a very clean and stable ROM with no bloatware. You can also refer to the guide I've posted if you wish to switch to the EU ROM from a Vendor ROM.
Its simple and as long as you follow the steps, you shouldn't face any issues.
Thanks guy I keep you posted.

You have a Vendor ROM on the device. Follow one of the guides and flash a ROM of your choice!
As long as you follow all the steps carefully, you shouldn't face any issues.

Did you check whether bootloader is locked? There is a possibility that it is already unlocked.
And yes, you can flash official ROM via fastboot mode even if your bootloader is locked but it requires a special flash cable. Another way is to flash via EDL mode which bypasses a locked bootloader but this is a risky process and is usually only recommended as a last resort. Anyway none of the official ROMS have GAPPS built-in so I'd suggest its best you wait till you get the unlock code if your device isnt already unlocled.

I think the most important acronym in the firmware. EU. Flashing the RKBEUXM should therefore not be a problem. Even without the bootloader unlock. OR only means that provider-specific functions are built in. If you don't know them or are unimportant, the XM works just as well.

If you had to unlock the bootloader to flash the XM, I wouldn't relock again. That would surely lead to a brick.

Hello! Can you tell me what method you used to do it? I have a Mi 11 lite 5G, the ROM that came from the factory was a Vodafone EU and I changed it for a Global EU ROM, specifically this one: renoir_eea_global_images_V12.0.8.0.RKIEUXM, but in the process with My Flash Tool the bootloader had to be open, now I have this ROM working perfectly, but I want to close the bootloader to use Google Pay etc. So I am very interested in your method to achieve it.

I just got the mi 11 chinese version and have to wait for bootloader to unlock , I plan to flash the stock EU ROM via Fast Boot and worried banking / g pay etc wont work ?
Don't relock your bootloader with EU rom. Your chinese phone will be bricked.

General CN Rom change to Global Rom

It's possible if you have: converted rom file to compatbile software flash and you can unlock bootloader. It's also possible remote flash via internet. In this case, you only need to install software: usb redirector. If anyone is interested in this topic, please contac with me on PM.

Can you share this converted global rom?
Inboxed you
I'm interessted too... Thx
A official public "how to" would be appreciated.
as you know, vivo is one of the best protected and secured android phone. Unlocking bootloader does not allow reading, it's possible only to write from fastboot. Unlocking bootloader or put into 9008 mode and flash it requires authorization vivo (payment) or pay others. If you have the rom files converted, it doesn't matter. The main and biggest problem is unlocking the bootloader. The flash script is also important.
I'm very interested. Please share with us video guide.

No. If you have a china rom and you flashed global rom or xiaomi.eu rom, you will find yourself in a screen 'System is destroyed' and only service centers are able to fix that.

If you have a global phone with different global firmware, yes. if you have a China phone with a Global firmware, no.
So what firmware was originally on your phone?

Unlock Bootloader for Rog3 A12

THe unlock tool in asus official site is for A11 and my android is A12, So then how would i proceed to unlock bootloader in my device?
I have a similar problem on my ROG Phone 3 Tencent edition, If you don't have OEM Unlock in the Developer settings, I think that the only way for now is rollback to Android 11 using the firmware on ASUS website wiping your phone.
I've done that, but whith te tool provided by ASUS, I still can't unlock it, it just restart the phone whitout doing anyting.
Furthermore my PC doesn't recognize my phon in Fastboot mode (Yes I'm using side port and original cable).
