Moto G5s Plus Hard Brick - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have a Motorola G5s Plus XT1802.
I was with a battery problem, the cell phone did not load, so I made a flash for twrp sanders for a version 8.1 Lineage Os, and then I came across a version SacredOs 9.0 Pie, I installed it, but I was having a lot of problems, and I decided to go back for version 8.1 oreo, but I cleaned the cache, dalvik, date, and the internal storage, and made the adb of twrp, and now all the roms that I try to install of error 7, being that before it did not, I tried several versions of twrp, all compatible with the roms, I tried to make a flash of the original image and also did not work, of the following error: Image is too large
the cell phone is totally bricked now, does anyone recommend something to me?
Thank ALL

Erase everything with the help of the twrp and flash the original image of the stock Android 8.1 through adb and the twrp is better boot the image.
If it does not work do it several times because there is a corruption with the security patches.
After that you can install other roms.

Procedure for flashing GSI roms (LineageOS)

Hey guys, I'm trying to install LineageOS GSI (arm64 A/B) on my Mi A3 and seem to be having some trouble getting the GSI to actually boot successfully.
I have already done my research both on XDA and elsewhere online, yet most threads focused on the device seem to be of little to no use and/or filled with spam replies that only serve to confuse people looking into this.
A quick note regarding the aforementioned threads:
I don't mean to sound disrespectful to the community, but honestly, bashing somebody over why they'd rather install anything but your own fav piece of software is completely ridiculous.
Without further ado, my case goes as follows:
I'm starting fresh with the latest stock firmware, after having unlocked my bootloader ofc (critical too), I've successfully installed TWRP, wiped, installed the system image and yet after rebooting I'm just greeted with good ol' Fastboot, at which point I either directly flash the stock firmware and try again or wipe my data and whatnot (through TWRP, if reinstalled) and still end up with Fastboot.
Therefore, I have to ask you guys:
Has anyone previously successfully installed any GSI rom on the Mi A3?
Did you flash the system img while on stock firmware or a previously flashed custom rom (ie Pixel Experience)?
Is there any need for any special patch similar to the ones used for MIUI based Xiaomi phones?
Did you face any other issues while trying to flash a GSI?
My intention is to eventually install microG using Nanodroid.
Thanks for asking. I was trying to flash Havoc, crDroid and MSM-Xtended Android 10 GSIs but I can't boot the phone.
I have flashed lots of GSIs in the past, but this is really intriguing me, I can't boot on Mi A3. Wiping or formatting data does not solve, neither Permissiver or Disable Dm-verity zips did the job... :crying:
I successfully bootet the LineageOS GSI yesterday. I was not coming from stock though. I think this process should work assuming you already bootet to TWRP:
1. flash the GSI image to system partition using TWRP
2. flash the TWRP installer to keep your recovery
3. (not sure if needed) flash no fde patch
4. optional: flash some other stuff like Magisk and gapps
5. wipe data and dalvik
I think it rebooted to recovery on my first try but worked after flashing everything again. I probably made some mistake on my first attempt but just make sure to try again before giving up.
Also there's this tutorial but it's not at all what I did to get it working:

MI A3 unable to install custom rom

Hi,
I know I must be doing something dumb, but I am unable to install any rom on my MI A3. I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP. I tried installing the havoc os rom on my phone and it wouldn't boot after that (kept going straight into fastboot). So I went back to TWRP and wiped my internal storage and tried installing it again but the same problem kept happening. Now I cannot install any rom ( I have tried Lineage OS and crDroid). I performed the following steps to install a rom:
1. Copy the zip file to internal storage from my laptop
2. Clicked on install
3. Chose the file I just transferred
4. Did the swipe to confirm flash thing
5. It does the flash process without any errors, but then says do you really want to reboot, there is no OS installed.
Even if I try to reboot, it goes straight to fastboot. Checking my internal storage through TWRP, I can see that my system folder is empty.
EDIT: I realised that I need to flash it twice because of the A/B partition thing. I tried doing that too. Now, TWRP no longer says that there is no OS installed and I can see that there are some files in system/. However, I still cannot boot into the OS. It goes straight to fastboot.
EDIT AGAIN: I am able to boot after flashing the stock fastboot rom. So at least I can use my phone for now. However, I would still like to use Havoc OS. Any help is appreciated.
I tried a couple more ROMs. Pixel experience also gets stuck at fastboot and Lineage OS gets stuck in a boot loop

My problem is that I can't install havoc os. I tried all the methods....
Same for me, first time I installed Pixel Experience like you did and worked well, then I tried again and I can't install no more custom ROMs, always getting error 1 in recovery, or not installing TWRP at all. I was able to boot phone again by fastbooting Stock Android 10 v11.0.11.0 April.
But I really enjoyed PE and I wanted to install it.

Nord N10 bricked

My Nord N10 5G is now SoftBricked
First I installed TWRP through adb. Then I restarted and everything was fine.
Then I try to flash the lineage os unofficial from the XDA thread. flash was successful but,
It was stucked in the starter animation of lineageos.
I rebooted on twrp and saw that many storage blocks were missing, including internal storage. I try to restore the original firmware but this was unsuccessful.
try to flash aosp official via adb sideload. but there was an error and adb sideload wasn't start correctly.
then via sdcard, flashed aosp os. flash was successful but, there was many storage block missing errors. and again, aosp also stucked.
Has anyone had such an experience? How did you come up with the solution?
Solved
Just factory reset from "Pixel Experience recovery menu" .

Lineage os doesn't launch after rebooting

So, I've managed to boot into twrp & I wiped all my data & then flashed lineage os (attachment) & rebooted but it didn't reboot into lineage os instead it went into that bootloader unlocked warning & then went black & now If I restart I can go back to that & then back to black. I did not flash magisk on it since the whole process of doing that changed recently now requiring you to do that from some kind of an app on an actually working os so I figured that I'll just install it from lineage os & as (from what I know) it's not required, not having magisk shouldn't be the issue. Any ideas?
did you flash vendor? some Android 11 ROMs are vendor-less, needs you to download Android 11 vendor from your device group, I suggest telegram. anyways you can look for a ROM that has "vendor included" note to avoid that for easier flash.

Cannot boot any recent custom ROM on Poco F1

Have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP 3.7.0_9-0
Have tried to flash Pixel Experience 11, Pixel Experience 12 and Arrow v11
All of them just hang at first boot, with the animated logo. I left each for over half an hour.
Have wiped everything I can think to wipe.
Is there something obvious I'm failing to do ? Lineage 18.1-20210620 was on the device before I started.
Edit: I can re-install Lineage 18.1 but nothing newer. Do I need to do something to enable newer ROM flashes?

To check:
TWRP/O.F
wipe/format data type yes
reboot Twrp/O.F
Flash latest firmware (if necessary).
Flash the rom as instructed by the OP.

Use TWRP by REIGNZ based on A12 system_ext. You can find it my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides along with Guides for clean installation.
P.S: Near the link of twrp by reign you will also find a link for the current bugs/issues and workaround for them.
