flash gsi - Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers

hi
i am trying to use a gsi image on my g7 plus but i cant get any to boot. ive followed instructions on the phh page. is there anything specific i need to do for this device?
cheers

I have flashed gsi images on the g7 plus and not all of them boot. The ones that include gapps are more buggy and hard to get working. I think there was some catch about the right time you have to format the data but i cant really remember.

Help with Treble ROMs

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!

Anyone knows how to flash gsi roms on this device?

To flash gsi images, I installed chinese rom then twrp and images have to be a/b not a.

But the treble check shows redmagic 3 has only slot A not A&B.
So how did you do that flashing A/B
Please also post a guide if possible and you have time for the same..

I know I'm being a jerk here but the thing that I don't own a PC force me to post this here. If anyone can try to install game space and see if it would work. I believe gsi rom is much better than stock rom for our device as I'm using stock global rom and encounter lot of bugs and the only thing that make me happy is game space. Thanks!

This Friday hope I will be testing maximum no. of GSI image and will be posting which boots and working better for Redmagic 3 in a separated thread for discussion with the community.
Also will backup such as Game launcher, LED Strip and other important app using titanium backup and will try to install as system to check if they are working or not.
Just flash the Chinese rom then flash TWRP and then go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development and pick any rom you want some of them even have GAPPS included
---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------
If you're having trouble with GAPPS follow this steps
1) Boot into TWRP
2) Flash latest GSI img
3) Resize system file system (necessary on my device otherwise gapps will not install)
- Wipe -> Advanced -> select system -> resize file system
4) Flash pico or mini or aroma which ever you want gapps zip
6) Flash magisk zip
7) reboot
every (gsi) rom i've tried so far(various versions of resurrection remix, lineage, android 9 AOSP) has gotten stuck at the boot animation, tried pretty much everything i could think of(with a lot of getting stuck at the bootloader as a result)
for twrp i followed standard guides and the guides posted here, no errors, just gets stuck at the boot animation(i've waited for up to 2 hours to see if it might still continue)
anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?

I've successfully installed aosp 9 (phhusson), havoc 2.9 & 3 on my phone.
Here's some step that i take:
1. Install Chinese rom
2. Reboot to stock recovery wipe userdata & cache
3. Install twrp
4. Flash system image from twrp (always use a/b image)
5. Resize filesystem
6. Flash gapps & magisk
The phone should reboot once on the 1st boot and then boot normaly on the 2nd, you will know you've succeeded if the screen become dim at booting. That should take only a couple minutes, not hours. If that didn't happen try to format data from twrp or use different rom (i found that aex didn't work on my phone)
Hope this help :good:

Hi. I tried the phhusson 10.0 V203. It worked and it booted. I used ARM64 AB image. Everything was working fine, except i was unable to make any outgoing calls. So i tried to use a different image. After that nothing is working. Even the image that worked the first time doesn't work. It keeps getting stuck in boot loop and going to fastboot. I tried with 4 GSI images, nothing is working.

I've reverted my phone back to cn rom soon after because of the strange vibration bug on every single gsi rom i've tested and forgot to take stock rom system dump at that time so i never got any chance to try it.
But i've tried to install gamespaces stuff to my other phone running aex pie with no avail. So, unless anyone know how to mod the app or port the necessary framework stuff from stock into gsi rom I think it will never work.
Maybe some overlay will make it work. i don't know, just guessing.

If you stuck on fastboot after splash screen (without boot animation) then you have to use the unbrick tool to flash over the system and redo it if you want to. Never reboot without system on this phone or you'll stuck on fastboot.
But if it got bootloop at booting screen and able to enter twrp then you can try to wipe or format data. It happens on my phone too. I don't know if the twrp was buggy or something but yeah just try it back and forth between wiping and formating then it will randomly fixed.
Red magic 3 treble
That's the thing with this phone. Everything is random. I did use the repair tool and flashed the latest global version. But I am unable to flash the gsi again. It keeps getting stuck in fastboot screen. But if I select recovery from fastboot. It does goes to twrp recovery. But nothing after that. I hope someone can make a custom rom with Nubia launcher.
Red magic NEEDS to provide us with fastboot images...We have no real way to recover from a semi brick WTF!

I'm on havoc 2.9 right now. I managed to install game space and run it but it doesn't activate fan, so I'm guessing it need permissions and framework files which I don't know it's file name so I just give up on this. But game space does run like normal app. If you are wondering how I install game space, I pull out game space apk from global system.bat.br (after converted it to system.img) and put the apk in system/app using twrp file manager. Maybe someone knowledgeable can figure this out.

Flashing GSI image bootloops the device

I have been using custom roms for years.
I wanted to try flashing GSI images, and i decided to start with Havoc-OS-v4.4-20210503-arm64-a-Official-vanilla.img
I installed twrp-3.5.2_9-0-z2_row
I completely wiped everything, system/cache/data etc.
I flashed Havoc-OS-v4.4-20210503-arm64-a-Official-vanilla.img then NikGapps-basic-arm64-11-20210514-signed.zip.
Rebooted.
Phone is instantly resetting right after the ZUK logo goes away. stuck in boot loop. Am i doing something wrong ?

Can you send me the link of the thread where you saw your rom?. Pretty sure theres a tutorial in it.. You are missing some important step like flashing create vendor.zip or repartitioner.zip and some other stuff.. Give me the link...
[11][OFFICIAL] Havoc-OS 4.1 [ARM64/ARM/A64][A/AB/AB-VNDKLITE][GApps/Vanilla]
Havoc-OS 4.x is based on AOSP, inspired by Google Pixel. Has a refined Material Design 2 UI crafted by @SKULSHADY. Many useful features that will blow your mind. All you can dream of and all you'll ever need. Just flash and enjoy... General...
forum.xda-developers.com
Your question is a bit weird because this is a GSI. it's not model specific and should apply to things treble.
So it's not "my rom" it's just a gsi rom that should just work, right ? (unless i did something wrong)
Procedure was standard, clean, no dirty flashing.
Flash img, then gapps, then reboot.
I remember the instructions were for an older version of havoc, i just took the latest build because that's what you usually do ???
Regardless, this is not a HAVOC issue, I later tried with caos build caos-v307-210507-arm64-agZ.img. The exact same behavior happened.

to flash a GSI image first you should wipe all except internal storage.
then install a Vendor ie; Basic roms like AEX, ARROW OS according to the GSI Version
if you GSI image is based on Android 10 then you should flash a android 10 rom from aex or arrow, then flash the gsi to system, then reboot

So, the gsi flashing just copies the image-byte-by-byte to the /system partition ?
Just like dd on linux ? Blind transfer from one direction to the other ?Is this why you recommend flashing "basic roms", so that by flashing the zips all other partitions are updated accordingly ? like /vendor and so on ?Please clarify and keep it technical, i want to learn

Try what @hash02 said you can check the link i gave you above to view the full detail and to avoid boot loops reboot to recovery after flashing the gsi then flash the gapss then factory reset then reboot...And dont use nikgaps instead use other Gapps..

Well, Ok but where do i find android 11 opengapps ?
I didn't find any other gapps for Android 11.
However I tried your method even if it makes absolutely no sense at all. This device is a-only not a/b. Can you explain that or is that an elephant in the room that you dont want to talk about ?
In any case, the device does not bootloop anymore, it just sits in fastboot mode.
These are the steps to flash a gsi on zuk z2 pro correctly:
Wipe clean all partitions excluding user data
Then flash https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/radio-modem-basebands-for-zuk-z2-pro-only.3715835/ latest baseband
Flash boot image [ linked below - it is the boot image extracted from a mokee 9.0 rom ]
flash vendor image [ copied from another thread ]
flash gsi image [which ever you want]
reboot to recovery again [ sometimes it doesnt work unless you do ]
reboot to system

by flashing gsi no vendor is updated or modified. because gsi's are generic rom with only system image, no other partitions. so flashing a basic rom (especially made for your device) , that will update every partition, and then replacing system by gsi system thats all.

Thank you, I figured as much as I did a lot of testing trial and error and flashed lots of files yesterday. Got it working booting etc. Unfortunately the ROMs don't support fingerprint scanner out of the box and didn't bother to make it work. Just wanted something stable to use my phone. Thx

Thank you, I figured as much as I did a lot of testing trial and error and flashed lots of files yesterday. Got it working booting etc. Unfortunately the ROMs don't support fingerprint scanner out of the box and didn't bother to make it work. Just wanted something stable to use my phone. Thx

for me AEX 8.1 is awesome, but none of custom support Uhealth with Sp02 sensor. its very usefull at this time.

I need some well working GSI's for my A605FN

Im on my A605FN right now and i have installed AOSP v222 (treble_a64_bvS-userdebug 10 QQ3A.200805.001 200805 test-keys) as my system. Can someone send me a working android 8 GSI? Android 10 is too much for this device and my 3gb of ram cant take it. I dont have time searching for well working GSI's to this phone. I need well optimized system that will use minimum ammount of resources. Thanks.

Just try that Lineage R mod - it should work fine. However if you want so old builds, then there is best list with Android 8 Oreo section:

When i try to install lower android version than 10 my phone boots in download mode... Yes, regular odin mode, no errors, etc. Please help, i want to get rid of that android 10 no matter what version it is, even LineageOs or AOSP, its still android 10 that use a lot of resources to work smoothly
1. Download this and extract.
2. Go to TWRP.
3. Follow this guide (flash this in TWRP, not in Odin).
It should work well. Older Android versions may require older kernel versions to run or you just chosen wrong builds (it needs to be A/B arm32_binder64 (A64 - not arm64) vndklite).
In case that Lineage R mod is not smooth enough do the same with other GSI's from the list from my previous post (always choose arm32_binder64 vndklite (A/B) builds). Some will be lightweight enough for your needs.
Ye i know build for my phone . I will try the GSI you linked but which gapps should i use to this system?
And i have another great idea, what if i just not install the gapps and run clear CLEAR android
Hmm... Also i can install the most important gapps, I didnt think about that, that should use very small ammount of ram, cpu, etc.

Just use build I linked above. It has integrated Gapps and passes needed certfications out of the box. You can also download vanilla build and flash pico gapps yourself. However option with integrated gapps is just fine and sufficient. Read whole thread - author had the same problem as you and solved it by flashing Lineage R mod with integrated gapps - it's the most simple way.
Idk why but when i flash this GSI with no error and then i try to boot to the system it goes download mode. I think i know how to flash GSI's, I'm doing it 100% right. I flashed it in every possible way. It is getting boring

Well, flash maybe at first stock firmware via Odin to ensure that kernel and vendor partiton are untouched. And then flash GSI in TWRP two times like it was said in guide.
However the most common cause of such effect (booting to download mode) is just wrong build (wrong architecture - you need to always download arm32_binder64 (A64) builds).
I already tried to flash GSI after flashing ROM via Odin3. Still booting to download mode. Im 420% sure i downloaded right build.
Well, I'm out of ideas. However you can still try to resize system partition in TWRP to make it a bit bigger and then try to flash GSI image (two times). You can also just try to play with different GSI's from the GSI list - just look for the smallest images and try to flash them. If some will properly boot then just go back to TWRP and flash rest of your needs (pico gapps, Magisk, etc.).
I will try that in future

Question PLEASE HELP!!![SOLVED]

Hi XDAVIANS,
I have the MOTO EDGE 20 - Berlin (XT2143-1). I was trying the new PixelExperience 13+ ROM. However, after flashing the PixelExperience recovery I am getting stuck in a boot loop. It's the same for the Lineage OS recovery for Berlin. The new ones don't work. I tried multiple versions (fresh flash). Ultimately, I am stuck in the bootloop. Finally, I flashed the stock ROM with RSA tool to get back in action. However, in one thread I read some users had the same issue and they were able to solve the issue and flash the recovery with a specific version "lineage-19.1-20221203-recovery-berlin". Can anyone help me with this recovery file. I couldn't find it in any repositories (Seems the older versions were removed).
Thanks in advance. I am bored of A12 and want to switch to A13.
I have a solution since I just did this. LineageOS and Pixel Experience are so similar to the point that the instructions are also the same. Mind you, I have used these exact builds: lineage-20.0-20230211-nightly-berlin-signed.zip, 2023/01/12 release of Pixel Experience 13 Plus Edition. It's simple really: Follow the exact instrucions on LineageOS install guide up until "Installing LineageOS from recovery" where instead of the LineageOS zip file you'll use the Pixel Experience. It will give you two errors on screen about some verification error and system downgrade, just say that you want to continue.
https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/berlin/install, this is the official pixel experience install guide for motorola edge 20 specifically, scroll down to the FLASHING DTBO AND VENDER BOOT PARTITIONS section and follow those steps, and flash the recovery image again. That should solve your issue.

Pixel Experience seems to be flashing the system on partition A, while LineageOS is flashing it on B and it's probably why it works. It's just a bug at the moment with Pixel Experience. Make sure you're using Platform Tools instead of Minimal ADB and Fastboot since that one is quite old at this point.
Hi all. Thanks a lot for the valuable suggestions. I solved the issue by flashing the boot.img file after the dtbo and vendor_boot images. That did the trick and I am using Android13 now. Such an amazing experience.
it happended to me aswell.
i was stuck bootloop and the only way to solve that was after i used the dtbo and vendor from lineageOS. For some reason those from Pixel Experience does'nt work
