[Resurrection Remix] [Unofficial] [2018-08-19] Treble [Discontinued moved to PIE]

LAST PERSONALLY Verified as working and "stable"*: GAPPS, 8/19 GAPPS
First and foremost, I'm simply compiling this for the OnePlus 6 and am making some small tweaks to include Opengapps and not only Go Apps in the builds.
The parent for this by phhusson can be found at [Resurrection Remix] [Unofficial] [2018-05-19] Phh-Treble
Next the most important information where to get the most current build of the ROM: Google Drive
For now I suggest the version ending in -go such as: 'rr_6_1_180616_system-arm64-ab-go.img.xz' as the '-gapp' is in development, I expect a number of builds over the next few days as I finally the build scripts and then the rate to tapper off to every two weeks or as there are changes that seem to warrant it, I'm not building nightly for no reason, as RR 6.1 is reasonable stable at this time.
Note: Attached (build.sh) is the build script currently being used, it is a work in progress. and will be updated in case you more regular builds. You will need 12GB of Ram Ubuntu 16.04+ (I'm using 18.04 now, but I started with 16.04) and at least 360GB (SSD recommended) to build, and upto 6 hours for the initial run and then 2 for ever additional run.
Many thanks to phhusson for allowing me to post this based off of his work.
Changes, when I have something to report. Not all build will:
The 7/7 build includes a number of patches recommended by DocRambone.
Overlay support to force Apps fullscreen, Under Display->Advanced
Some cleanups to the UI for the round corners
Better LED support
The 7/8 build is the same as 7/7, but includes July security patches, I built it in order to match the official release.
The 7/24 build is again to match the official release
The 8/19 build is again to match the official release, note regression in status bar height I'm looking into.
Second post: will have details on what is working and not
Third Post: will have full instructions on installation, backup restore based on my experiences
* Stable is relative, for me if I consider it usable from day to day it is stable.

Instructions to flash, backup ...
WARNING: With 5.1.8 I had no WIFI, so I suggest sticking to 5.1.6 to 5.1.7 FOR THE MOMENT
Instructions to flash, backup ...
Total time required about 90 minutes
Pre-Reqs:
First and foremost:
Start with at least 5.1.6 (or greater, as of writing 5.1.7 was the lastest), there are Treble fixes in 5.1.6 we need.
Second
verify you have a good USB cable (the Red one shipped with the phone is best)
Three
download the oneplus drivers and abd
- USB Drivers: OnePlus 6 USB Drivers for Windows
- ADB/Fastboot: ADB/Fastboot latest mini
Install both to your local system
Four
Download the latest TWRP (get both the img and zip files)
TWRP for OnePlus 6
Five
Download the files(Treble OP6 Files 5.1.6) from:
GUIDE] How to flash Treble roms on OnePlus 6
Extract and keep: vbmeta.img (if you are on 5.1.X where is the boot version you can keep the boot.img as well, if not discard).
Six
Download the lastest Oxygen OS ZIP and bootloader from:
[OnePlus 6][ROM][OTA][Oxygen OS] Mirrors for official Oxygen OS ROMs and OTA updates
As of writing this is:
5.1.6 full image: OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip
5.1.6 boot: OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_boot.img
Seven
Download Device ID:
Device+ID APK
Eight
Download Magisk for Treble:
Magisk modified for treble
Since as of 6/2018 the default magisk does not support Treble we need a special version I suggest: Magisk-v16.3-factory-faizauthar12-20180406.zip as teh latest I could find with support.
Nine
Recommended download fastboot installable 5.1.6 (or latest build):
[ROM][STOCK][FASTBOOT][OP6] Stock Fastboot ROMs for OnePlus 6
Ten
Include Overlay/Ambient Display.
Download APK at: [Overlay] Enable Night Light, Auto-Brightness, Ambient Display & more on Treble ROM
Eleven
OnePlus Camera:
OnePlus Camera APK's
Finally
Download RR 6.0 for Treble compiled after 7/08/2018:
Either download the gapps or go version (gapps is still a work in progress when I wrote this)
ROMs Google Drive
Getting Ready:
WARNING: you will loss all data on your phone, backup anything you want or need, first.
Make sure you can get to fastboot (enable "Advanced Reboot" in developers options and make sure that you can enter on a reboot by pressing volume-down and power at the same time)
Make sure you are on 5.1.6+ (5.1.6 was the latest firmware upon writing this)
Remove Any security you have set (just to be safe)
Reboot to fastboot (bootloader)
run:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
"You will be greeted with a Unlock Bootloader Warning page, Hit the Vol button to select Yes and turn it Blue and Hit the Power Button to Execute the selection, allow your device to reboot"
Backup EFS
If you have not already I'd recommend backing up EFS (to do so you need to be rooted, or else use TWRP):
Preferred, if rooted simply open a terminal and run:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048
Copy these files someplace safe!
If not rooted reboot to fastboot (bootloader):
Ensure that the latest twrp is in the same directory as fastboot (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) and run (3.2.1 was the lastest as of writing this):
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
This will boot the phone into twrp
Allow modification
Select backup
select only EFS and Modem
enter a meaningful name
swipe to backup
click "Reboot System" -> "Do not Install" for TWRP if asked.
You can now locate the backup under /storage/TWRP/BACKUPS and move it to a safe location off the phone.
Backup the Phone
Recommended if you care: Backup your entire phone using TWRP as well:
Ensure that the latest twrp is in the same directory as fastboot (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot) and run (3.2.1 was the lastest as of writing this):
- fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
This will boot the phone into twrp
Allow modification
Select backup
Select Everything except EFS and Modem
enter a meaningful name
swipe to backup
click "Reboot System" -> "Do not Install" for TWRP if asked.
You can now locate the backup under /storage/TWRP/BACKUPS and move it to a safe location off the phone.
Installing RR:
Finally we are ready to install RR (or any other Treble ROM), on the OnePlus 6. You will need a build from 6/7/2018 or later to have the required Vender-Hal to be present.
You will need to locate and install the AB version for the OnePlus 6.
Note: I'm using RR from 6/13 as the base for the guide: system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
SEE FIRST POST FOR CURRENT DOWNLOAD LOCATION I compiled this using phhusson's (Orginial Build Scripts)
instructions and a bit of setup on Linux. However most Treble base ROM's should work so long as they are from after 6/7/2018 in a similar manor.
* Remember this will wipe your device and you will loss all data *
First
boot in to fastboot (bootloader):
We need to go back to TRWRP and wipe internal storage and data to be safe, as the -w option to do so when flashing is not working for me.
- fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
This will boot the phone into twrp
Allow modification
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache, Data and "Internal Storage"
Swipe to Wipe
Click back until you are at the main menu
Click on Reboot
Click on Bootloader -> "Do not Install" for TWRP if asked.
Second
Flash the new ROM:
Flash vbmeta.img to remove validation
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
To be safe flash a default boot image (5.1.6 in this case)
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Next reboot into recovery (you need to do this with volume down +Power, or selecting from bootload):
In stock recovery select English
Select Wipe Data and Cache
Reset system settings->yes->done
Wipe Cache->Yes->done
Erase everything->Thiscan not be undone, continue->done
back
Advanced
Reboot to fastboot->Reboot to fastboot
Now flash a the new ROM:
- fastboot flash system_a system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
- fastboot flash system_b system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
Three
reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You will see the "andorid" boot screen (this is different that the Oxygen one) and being the first boot it could take a while. If you see no boot screen or it does not boot (give 10 minutes), then you likely need to repeat these steps again. If you boot into RR then continue.
You may get a Vender image mistake error ignore it it only appewars on boot.
Skip the Setup by clicking all four corners top left->top right->bottom right->bottom left (it my take more than one try), at this point you have no networking, that is what we want.
Suggestion make backup here as you have a working OS! -- Instructions to follow
Four
Move over required files: You now have RR installed and working:
Enable developer mode and then enable Advanced Reboot
Then copy over gapps-nano, Device+ ID.apk, magisk-manager apk and magisk installer zip to the phone
To get the magisk manager you need to extract it from the zip as I cloud not get the normal one to install. Extract the zip: Magisk-v16.3-factory-faizauthar12-20180406.zip copy common\magisk.apk to the phone
Five
Deal with: "Play Services not Certified by Google":
Install Device+ID (APK downloaed above) and Open
Once done open the second line shows the GSF ID for this device
Android Register GSF
Login using a gmail account (I suggest the one you use for the playstore)
Enter the GSF in the field, now we wait about 5 to 10 minutes for it to propigate
Reboot the phone as we want paly services to start fresh
First add a wIFI network.
Critical do not let any apps update until you have registered playstore, so if you see a notification saying downloading, select and click pause. Doing so with the updated 6/17 paystore resulted in a black screen where you would enter your password, no know work around other than reset if this happens.
click on playstore it should now start
Now login to your account and you should be go (it may take more than one attempt no idea why).
Now enable the update if previously paused
Update all Apps from the playstore before continuing, this may take a while give it 10 minutes
Optional: If you want remove Device+ID now (but I leave it as it is an easy way to get information).
You now have a working Playstore, if you have hung downloads then you may need to clear the cache for play services and the playstore I assume the unregistered might be the cause of them getting messed up.
Five
Install magisk:
Ensure you copied magisk zip and also the magisk manager apk to your phone, do not open, but click Done
Install the magisk manager, by locating the file in filemanager and selecting it.Reboot into fastbboot (bootloader) mode
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Install
Select the magisk zip from the filesystem and flash
clear cache
Reboot->System (If asked about installing TWRP swipe to install)
Allow the phone to fully boot
Suggested: Reboot the phone
Suggested: disable checks for updates as 5.7 does not work with this build.
Root is now setup.
Six
Installer th onPlus camera:
Many people want the one plus camera, copy the apk downloaed above to the phone.
Open and install via a file manager
Seven
resize Data (as it will be only 11GB), the partitioon will be larger, depending on your devide se we will use TWRP and resize2fs to grow it.
Reboot into fastbboot (bootloader) mode
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Advanced->Terminal
Code:
resize2fs /dev/block/sda17
Reboot System
Eight
Recommended, make a backup of your hard work:
Reboot into fastbboot (bootloader) mode
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Select backup
Select Everything except EFS and Modem (as I'm unsure exactly which you need)
enter a meaningful name
swipe to backup
click "Reboot System" -> Swipe to reboot
Once back in RR copy the backup off the phone
Eight
Start using your OnePlus 6 with RR 6.0, rooted and with GAPPS
Nine
Upgrading:
Upgrading is simply replacing the system partitions and only these paritions (tested going from 6/13->6/16->6/17 builds)
Boot into fastboot (advanced reboot options)
Now flash the new system files:
- fastboot flash system_a new_system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
- fastboot flash system_b new_system-arm64-ab-gapps.img
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache (and only Cache)
Swipe to Wipe
Reboot System
Ten
Restoring a Backup from TWRP
*This is a work in progress I can not work out how to do so safely*
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Select Restore
Select the backup
Select Everything (other than EFS and Modem!)
Got to the main menu
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache (and only Cache)
Swipe to Wipe
Reboot Fastboot
Eleven
Night Light, Ambient Display, requires Root:
My suggestion is not to do this if you care abut battery as I've seen major drain (even with Ambient display disabled, testing this).
Copy the apk downloaded framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk to /vendor/overlays
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /vendor
cp <location of file> /vendor/overlay
chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay;chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay/framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk
Reboot
Comments:
TWRP does not boot if flashed onto RR (the TWRP logo appears but it will not boot), this is currently only go to protect you from using the OnePlus Recovery and messing up RR. Flashing TWRP does not affect booting into RR.
TWRP DOES handle encryption without an issue, even a wrong first pin is not an issue
TWRP making a backup of Treble ROM, backup everything for now: Data, Boot, System, System Image, Vendor, Vendor Image.
If you have problems with hung downloads from the Playstore: Pending hung PlayStore
Wifi can be flaky (appearently this is a more general issue as even stock had some issues, I fixed them by only using either 2.4 or 5Mhz wireless, if I had both active I had constant disconnects.
Worst case, to recovery, back to Oxygen 5.1.6 if you end up in a boot loop stuck booting to rtecovery, etc:
- flash-all.bat
Reboot into recovery (you need to do this with volume down +Power, or selecting from bootload):
In stock recovery select English
Select Wipe Data and Cache
Reset system settings->yes->done
Wipe Cache->Yes->done
Erase everything->This can not be undone, continue->done
back
Advanced
Reboot to fastboot->Reboot
Load TWRP:
Code:
fastboot.exe boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
Copy the Oxygen full ROM back to the phone
Code:
adb push OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip /sdcard
In TWRP
Install
Select OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_010_all_1806070151_ad8b19ed516e78.zip
Go back to the root and select Advanced Wipe
Select Wipe
Advanced Wipe
Select Cache, Data and "Internal Storage"
Click on Reboot->Recovery (select Do not Install)
English
Wipe Cach and Data
Wipe Everything
Reboot
The phone will reboot same as the day it was made
If it does not then please refer to:
Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 6
Note: Always boot fully at least once (I suggest twice and the first one is configuring android) before trying any steps above again.
Best of Luck, see a typo let me know

Thank you for putting so much hard work on this. Really much appreciated, will give it a try.

Might be a noob question, but due to treble, is the camera quality the same with the OnePlus app?

No.

Great rom, I especially like the fact that I can choose to install without gapps (prefer fdroid). One thing that is missing is ambient display, hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later.

Have you tried this yourself? Ignore the treble part of his comment, but why would stock cam on OOS vs stock cam on custom ROM give different results in terms of picture quality?

Never said anything about results, only that it could be installed and works, (takes pictures), personally I do little with the camera and am not photographer, but it can be installed (link above) and installed.

It will never be the same as OOS stock. Because aside from there is no device tree provided by OnePlus, they will never release the camera blobs due to licensing issues. Once we get a stable and proper gcam port. It'll be better than the stock OOS cam or close

is a beautiful Rom, will there be an adaptation for twrp? I have to use the gapps, because at the go version Wear OS does not work. and in the gapp version would be nice if the smartbar was running. Unfortunately, the kill app does not work ( I can not use xposed, then my bank app will not work anymore

TWRP not for now as treble is build as an image, but you should be able to flash using twrp just switch to img (though I have not tested that).
The GApps version is posted the 6/18 is working great, see second post.
As for Banking I'm unsure if any Treble based ROM passed the checks, as with or without root, as they appear as unsigned.
As for smartbar, I'll give it a try when I get a chance, as I do not use it personally.

So safetynet won't pass?

Xiaomi Mi MIX2 working encryption with latest Android 9 (Pie) ROM

(short) Tutorial in getting your Xiaomi Mi MIX2 encrypted with latest Android 9 (Pie) ROM released by xiaomi.eu (and propably also with the beta ROMs released by Xiaomi/miui.com)
Preparations:
- your phone is unlocked
- a custom recovery is installed on your phone already
- download OrangeFox recovery 9.0-1 or later (others may work too but had not tested for this tutorial / TWRP 3.3.0-0 may produce errors)
- download force-enryption script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie
- download NO enryption restore script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie (reverts fstab config to default - wipe of data needed)
- download latest Android 9 Pie based MIUI ROM (tested only with the modified ROM from xiaomi.eu - official beta ROM may work too)
- optional: download latest Magisk to receive root (may needed by your backup/recovery app to restore your apps within android)
CAUTION!
When folliging this procedure you will loose all current data on your device! DO A APP-BASED BACKUP IN ANDROID FIRST!!! (TWRP or OrangeFox recovery based backups won't work for this procedure!)
Have done your Backup? No? DO IT NOW! really!
Let the phone boot and encrypt itself after flashing the scipt linked in HowTo.
Up to now (bug has been reported) it is to be mentioned that encrypting Xiaomi.EU rom via setting/privacy/encrypt leads direct to PHONE RESET.
FORMAT DATA is required then to get it back to life. @lolo9393 thanks for that hint!
Exact proceedings:
1. you've done a backup eh? - good
2. ... did you save that backup on a other device than your phone? Remember you'll loose all data stored on the phone!!!
3. reboot your phone in your currently installed recovery
3.1 copy the OrangeFox recovery to your device
3.2 select "Install" and choose the OrangeFox recovery .zip file to install (replace your current recovery)
3.3 OrangeFox installer will reboot the recovery after its install
4. Select "Wipe"
4.1 Select "Advanced Wipe"
4.2 Select every Partition exept USB-OTG
4.3 Swipe to Wipe
5. reboot your recovery to recovery again
6. Select "Wipe"
6.1 Select "Advanced Wipe"
6.2 Select "Format Data"
6.3 type in "yes" and confirm that step
7. reboot your recovery to recovery again
8. copy the latest Android 9 Pie based MIUI ROM to your phone
9. copy the latest version of the force-enryption script to your phone
10. Select "Install" and select the Android ROM first then "Add to queue" and select the force-encryption script as second item to flash
10.1 Swipe to Install
11. reboot to system
11.1 go to "Settings"
11.2 scroll down to "SYSTEM SETTINGS" area
11.3 select "Additional settings"
11.4 select "Privacy"
11.5 scroll down to "ADVANCED" area
11.6 check the status of "Encryption & credentials" - it should state "Encrypted"
12. now continue in setting up your system (e.g. enable developer mode, enable advanced power menu, usb debugging if needed, ...)
13. DONE ...
... ok, maybe you're missing your apps and settings - here is a possible way to restore them ... (i personally prefer Titanium Backup)
Root & how to restore apps & app data
14. copy Magisk installer to your device
14.1 reboot your device to recovery
14.2 select "Install" and choose the Latest Magisk-vXX.X.zip file to install (in the log you should read something about "keep forced encryption" - this is good )
14.3 when done - reboot to system again
15. Install Titanium Backup (from a store or as APK from file)
15.1 copy your Titanium Backup or TWRP backup (that could be restored by Titanium Backup Pro) to insternal storage
15.2 restore apps & app data with Titanium Backup (for a detailed HowTo please visit official Titanium Backup Website: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb/titanium-backup-user-guide.html#restore)
15.3 Profit!
That guide may has helped you ...

FAQ
Q: Is that procedure ROM update safe? / What if xiaomi.eu releases an ROM update or my ROM has to be reinstalled?
A: When Xiaomi.eu releases an update you have to flash that script right afterwards that update in your favorite recovery. - No further actions should be needed. This procedure has to be repeated for every ROM update or reinstall.
Procedure is verified as working with update 9.5.9 up to 9.6.27​Q: Does TWRP recovery work also?
A: There is feedback that TWRP 3.3.0-0 does not work as intended (THX @mguz on post 11 for the feedback)
Maybe TWRP 3.3.1-0 that was released short ago solves that problem ...​

How to update later?

... hmm sorry did not get what you like to do - could you please describe in detail what you mean/like to achieve?

When there will be next build of xiaomi.eu what is the procedure to update it? Just install new in recovery without any wipes? Is force-encryption script needed when updating?

@raupe
VERY good work.
Very useful for people having security concern when using a TWRP.
My comments:
-This procedure is valid with any latest 3.3. TWRP version that can decrypt now. (?)
- This is applicable to all XIAOMI phone under PIE. (Fstab must be exchanged in the zip tool in order to fit with the phone model)
- NOTE :
Up to now (bug has been reported) it is to be mentioned that encrypting EU rom via setting/privacy/encrypt leads direct to PHONE RESET and FORMAT DATA required.

Hi,
- download force-enryption script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie
- download NO enryption restore script for Mi MIX2 Android Pie
both links are down, re-upload possible ?
EDIT: Links are working now

Help out a noob. Why would one need to have phone encrypted? Whats the purpose of encryption?
I'd like to update to 9.5.x Xiaomi.eu Pie but hear complaints of GCam, SuperSU, FindDevice, fingerprint, etc not working. Would encryption help these issues?

Its not about encr. Problems.Pie uses vendor for most stuff now and for gcam is needed additional line in build prop to make it work.magisk 19 can root it without problems

Hi,
thank you for this helpful tutorial.
First time I tried with TWRP 3.3.1-0 and it did not work (Bootloop).
With OrangeFox Recovery it works as described.
Regards

On official TWRP-3.3.1-1 works as intended, thanks!

Sorry I didn't mentioned in guide, that you've to modify script of gapps to get it working. I'll upload modified gapps tomorrow. Again I apologize

Red state warning is due to unlocked bootloader. It'll remain as long as bootloader is unlocked. But that doesn't create any problem except for increasing boot time by 5-6 seconds.

use A/B type cannot flash gapps,error 64. A type can flash gapps. Why?

Updater-script needs to be modified inside gapps, because gapps wrongly detects architecture as arm.
Install this gappshttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1nS2z4emxHovZ0x3CqXl59r8oBqx9DiPU/view?usp=drivesdk
I have modified the script

what rums for example are loaded and working?
currently the Havoc-OS-v2.0-20181027-GSI-ARM64-Aonly-Official is being loaded and running.
tried miui, flyme, Havoc-OS other versions

Is there any video tutorial?

Any tutorial videos?

follow my step-by-step Installation guide, it works 100%. If it doesn't boot flash the official MIUI ROM again and try it from this.

[ROM] [GUIDE] - HOW TO INSTALL CRDROID 7.5 ANDROID 11 ON REDMI 8 (GSI but all work)

Hi, here's a guide on how install crDroid 7.5 (A11) on Redmi 8
UPDATE: THERE'S 7.5 VERSION AVAIABLE, IF YOU ARE USING 7.4 FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO UPDATE WITHOUT LOSING DATA (NEW ROM IS IN MEGA FOLDER, ):
1- Reboot in recovery
2- Go to Wipe -> Avanced wipe -> wipe dalvik, cache and system
3- Go to Reboot -> Recovery
4- Now follow the normal guide from the flashing of the .img file as system image
VERY IMPORTANT: DON'T FORMAT DATA AFTER FLASHING GSI FIXER OR YOU WILL LOST ALL YOUR DATA
Features:
- All functions of the phone work (face unlock, fingerprint, voLTE, voWIFI, hotspot, bluetooth, fast charge, DT2W, ...)
- Magisk safetynet passed without flash nothing (screenshot at the bottom)
- Permissive Selinux by default (in settings is writing disabled, it's wrong) but you can switch to enforcing with
SelinuxModeChanger app, apk at the bottom
What doesn't work
- Nothing if you use fixes below
Note 1: You may have problems with the brightness or sim calls/sms, there are solutions:
- For brightness: Open settings -> Go in "Phh Treble Settings" -> "Misc Features" -> Scroll until you are in backlight menu -> Select "Force alternative backlight scale" and "Enable auto-brightness overlay" -> then deselect both and reboot
- For sim calls: Open settings -> Go in "Network and internet" -> "Mobile network" -> Tap on "Preferred network type" and select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE" or "Global" (try which is better for you) and then reboot
Note 2: If you fing bugs tell me in comments, maybe I could help you (I'm not the developer of the rom)
​IMPORTANT ADVICE:​I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device by not following the steps, all the steps were tested on my personal device and are confirmed, my device is Redmi 8 4/64
Installation Steps - All the files you need are HERE​
Note 3: I did the installation coming from Mui 12.0.1 stock (flashed in fastboot with Mi Flash) and there was no problem in the installation process or in the boot process, YOU NEED THIS ROM IF YOU WON'T PROBLEMS
1- First make a backup of all the necessary information in case something goes wrong you can easily recover, Charge the battery at least 80%
All your data will be deleted during the process
2- Unlock the Bootloader if you have not already done it or do not know how to, follow this post: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
3- Before continue following steps estract on pc "crdrom-v302-210315-arm64-bvZ.img" from "crdrom-v302-210315-arm64-bvZ.img.xz" and activate USB debug in phone settings
4- Reboot in fastboot and connect the phone to the pc with cable
5- Install on pc minimal adb tool (zip at the bottom), flash the TWRP recovery typing " fastboot flash recovery ", now drag twrp file near the command, then vbmeta typing " fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta " and drag vbmeta file near the command. Finished the procedure type " fastboot reboot " and hold volume + on the phone until you see the recovery screen
6- Scroll on the slider at the bottom of the phone screen to access in the TWRP
7- Go to Wipe -> Format data -> type "yes"
8- Go to Reboot -> Recovery
9- Go to Wipe -> Avanced wipe -> wipe dalvik, data, cache and system
10- Go to Reboot -> Recovery
NOW YOU HAVE TO TRANSFER ALL OTHER FILES OR IN THE INTERNAL STORAGE OF THE PHONE OR IN SD/USB WITH OTG CABLE
11- Go to Install -> Select the storage where you have files -> Install img -> select "crdrom-v306-210425-arm64-bvZ.img" (Extracted from the .xz file) -> select "system image" and flash
12- Wait and then go to Reboot -> Recovery
13- Wipe -> Advanced wipe -> select "system" and click on "Repair or change file system" -> Resize system
14- Wait and then go to Reboot -> Recovery
15- Install -> Select the storage where you have files -> Flash "GSI-BUGS-FIXER_11_Q.zip"
16- Wipe -> Format data -> type "yes"
17- Wait and then go to Reboot -> Recovery
18- Install -> Select the storage where you have files -> Flash "BiTGApps-arm64-11.0.0-R19_signed.zip"
19- Wait and then go to Reboot -> System
20- Configure phone and enjoy your new rom
Note 4: I reccomend you to flash magisk after you have configured the rom to avoid problems, I leave you the zip to flash in recovery below
Note 5: I reccomend you the best gcam I've found for Redmi 8, everything works except slow motion, link HERE
Thanks for the attenction​
-Estatè

Happy that many GSI roms are under develment. I hope this phone will die due to hardware, as there are lots of options in future to keep the software updated.
Anyway, if someone intends to try, following is the link of all GSI Roms.

Hey
I'm not using crDroid yet, but I've already installed TWRP.
It is advertised that you should flash vbmeta when you're installing TWRP.
I hope I can help you

Hey !
I wanna try this but I have rooted my phone so here is my question : do I need to remove the root to install this GSI ?
Thx a lot

Volume doesn't work correctly, I cannot increase or decrease the volume. And I plugged my headphone not play through headphone, it play through speaker. Sorry my English

No, you have to flash it with ADB like twrp

I recommend you to remove it from the magisk app to avoid problems but I think that would be the same

I haven't this problem, have you flashed the gsi fixer? Did you start the installation from miui 12.0.1? It's really important, anyway, you can try to do again the procedure

Does VoLTE and VoWIFI works ? It's a GSI so I'm not thinking it works...

Hey !
I'm so happy !
Everything works on that GSI rom, but I haven't the certification on SafetyNet.
With the covid-tracing app, there is a little problem but it's with all the custom roms so...
Thanks a lot for your guide !

Hi, I'm happy for you, for safetynet try the magisk module, I didn't have this problem, anyway, try the rom and than leave a feedback, it could be useful for other people who want to try this rom

I can't get this rom to work correctly. Did the steps as described, but it has SELinux not enforced and Google play isn't certified. Tried multiple times.
EDIT: seems my phone is soft bricked now (Can't install any rom). Going back to xaomi stock to try again.

I tried again and got it to work. The certificate patch throws an error but Google apps are working.
I get an SE Linux not enforcing error. though.
Is there anything I can do about that?
