Installing a Generic System Image (GSI) on Redmi 6A - Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers

Many of you know that Xiaomi Redmi 6A supports Project Treble. One of the benefits of Treble is that, it allows flashing Generic System Images (GSI) on any Treble-enabled device.
So, has anyone tried installing a GSI on this device?

Xioami Redmi 6A
An appliance on architecture 64.
Firmware and respectively boot, vendor -32.
Support Treble out of the box.
------------------------------------------
The problem with the native vendor is ARM A-only firmware installed,
but one and the same problem at all - that 8.1, that 9.0
Mobile does not work, incoming SMS.USSD codes, headphones!
------------------------------------------
Not solved in any way.
I understand it is necessary to rule VENDOR! But what?
Poke a nose, what to edit and how?
Donors with Helio A22 simply do not have!

Poco had shipped on 8.0 OS. U want 6.0, really?
I don't think that's possible, as the device ships with Oreo. The vendor blobs are incompatible with anything lower.
WPS exists in Oreo, though, and there are plenty of third-party apps that can record calls.

Sr bro. Im not a developer. Just as you.
Why downgrading to Android 6? Xiaomi does not have Source codes and proper Vendors and other stuff to support Android 6, even Android 7. Pocophone F1 was built with Android 8 and cannot be downgraded. There is possibility to be downgraded but it need such time because of the missing vendors and stuff and why would a developer waste his/her time making a Android 6 custom rom for a Oreo based device?
There are workarounds though, just flash a custom rom. Some custom rom has call-recording feature.
But about WPS, couple months ago in a MIUI Forum, in the latest Oreo stable build, they removed WPS feature because it has many vulnerabilities than connecting using WPA2 PSK or other wifi configuration because it has better security. Maybe just move on WPS, manufacturers that makes WIFI removes WPS because it has poor security because it is pin-based code and can be brute force attack by someone in a matter of minutes.
Edit: Oh and Google did announced that they will remove WPS support on Android 9, link to that thread, https://www.xda-developers.com/wps-disappeared-android-p/
I know google remove wps for this reason i want Android 6.0
Someone port it and send please

Hey, If you really want to help just don't keep asking about the progress
According to my research and surmise, the API that triggered NFC-SIM was moved to the app they call "公交卡" (app package name: cn.oneplus.wallet), so if you want to try you can download my "6T NFC-SIM Magisk Module" and "APP", the APP need to set default as your payment settings, maybe it will work.
Hi,
It uses Magisk so the phone needs to be rooted, or at least BL Unlocked right?
I need it for ViaNAVIGO (Ticket purchase for Parisian transports) but I’m afraid that rooting/BL unlocking disables Google Pay and banking apps...

[Curtana] Does flashing a custom ROM compel disabling force encryption?

First of all, I'm really sorry if this thread would turn out to be a dumb enquiry. I am new to intrinsically customising my phone and only have been using this device (Redmi Note 9S EEA Curtana, MIUI Global V11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM 4/64 GB) for 10 days. I've successfully installed root and TWRP on my phone after having thoroughly researched relevant information. The only thing is all my efforts regarding the removal of force encryption have so far failed. I'm inclined to install a custom ROM, e. g. LineageOs or Evolution X.
1. Is it a necessity to have encryption permanently disabled so that the flashing process proves viable? Currently, I'm only aware of a method which has its effect limited to the the period the phone is in recovery. It involves formatting data and then installing Magisk and thus I need to go through the set-up again. At the end of the operation, encryption is enabled again. I have no clue why. I've tested loads of no verity opt files, none of them worked in a proper way either.
2.Will installing a custom ROM eliminate root acces (since it performs a reinstallation targeting the entire system, let alone the patched boot image)?
3. In case something goes wrong, what's the correct procedure to return to the factory ROM? Is re-locking the bootloader a prerequisite? (See this guide https://c.mi.com/uk/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, for example. Notice how each of the stable MIUI releases there are marked with ★ next to them, meaning they're locked. I didn't quite grasp the message they were trying to convey with that explanation though.)
I'm conscious that's a lot to ask in a single thread, however, unlike myself, the majority of users here are supposedly tech enthusiast and probably have encountered similar difficulties on several occasions.
I hope that I've provided enough information and the thread has been named reasonably.
(Priority: detailed answers within a month would be great.)
Cheers,
Hsjaai
Just format data: twrp->wipe->format data write yes->reboot twrp and flash rom.
If you got error(red lignes reboot twrp and format again).
or
delete all your lockscreen security before flashing but to install a new rom you must format the data before.
Thanks for your quick response, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be this early to react.
As I've already mentioned, in TWRP there's a workaround for temporarily disabling encryption using the first method, the latter one doesn't seem to function as intended - that may be the case on newer devices, according to an article I've come across.
One last request. Could you please (briefly) answer my two other questions as well? How do I reinstall MIUI if something breaks down? Is the flashing apparatus provided by Xiaomi reliable?
I'll keep you updated on my progress,
Hsjaai

With Magisk app
I'm still unsure about something. Will the custom ROM be installed without hassle if I unroot Magisk at the beginning (meanwhile leaving the custom recovery intact, of course)? No guide seems to deem having root installed as a prerequisite. If you answer that, I'm really embarking on the flashing process.

Installing a custom rom (aosp or Miui) requires a data format (erases all data and creates a new partitions if necessary) which will remove root anyway, but sometimes root + twrp creates problems (can't mout the partitions) it is therefore to avoid this that I recommend you to unroot before.
In all cases (Aosp or custom Miui) magisk is installed last.
Which ROM do you want to install?
I'd like to install LineageOS first and see how compatible it is.

Miatoll ROMs are supposed to be compatible with Curtana if I haven't got something wrong... What's the deal with that?
I may consider flashing CherishOS instead, seems neat and the monthly updates appeal to me.

Don't flash magisk right away, check if the playstore is certified.
If not delele your google account and root with the Magisk app.
Of course, if you absolutely want to root your device for other reasons, ignore that.
***certified on redmi note 7
The installation of these should only differ (on a particular device) in the ROM that's being flashed az a zip, right?
For instance, see this guide. Could that be deemed to be applicable to any custom ROM?

Install the right TWRP
Be sure you have the right firmware.
If not flash it.
1)Twrp wipe format data write yes reboot twrp(if error reboot twrp and format again).
2)flash rom
3)reboot system
v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is a turkish rom(android 10)
V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM is a global rom(android 11)Firmware base for AOSP
It is better to use Miflash and install TWrp after.(dont relock the bootloader).
Are you sure v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is the Turkish version? I thought it was EEA (the one tweaked for European countries). Installing the Global version seems alright, but why does the MIUI version has such a great effect on the outcome of the flashing?
Is that because both Cherish OS and the Global version are AOSP-based?

Anyways hopes are not all down as you can flash a GSI (generic system image, searchable on google)
And also, galaxy tab original P7500 also have it's production stopped, and now, it gets android 8.0 unofficially
Well i will call it a mi 11 lite lite 5g as it is slightly tuned down.
But from xiaomi's trend most likely it will be called 'mi 11 lite 5G reloaded'

Unofficially to make room for Snapdragon 888 on production lines. Because is used in many phones and is very requested , 780 was used only in Mi 11 lite.
I'm saying that since number of sell Renoir is low, the possibly of a custom developer to have it is low . I hope I'm wrong since i have this phone.
No man, you're right, we'll be stuck in the vacuum.

Is there released kernel sources?
If yes then if someone decided hey I want to donate my phone to a dev then we may get custom ROMs. We may also get blind- builded
custom ROMs.
If no sources, we won't get custom ROMs, same as the 20 dollar mediatek cheap phones.
Damnit, I bought this Xiaomi phone in the hope there will be a custom rom. My Redmi 5 got excellent rom support. But reading that sales are low and to make room for other Snapdragon soc's makes me not optimistic.
My Galaxy A50 that I used for 2 years also got no rom support, but that was mainly because the security in Knoxx. I got used to that.
The Lite 11 4G version of this phone have a few custom roms! Why the 5G not?!!
GSI is enough nowadays. I added patch to phh-treble and works good

Over a month before you asked this many news sites had posted about the chip shortage, why 780G phones are so rare and why manufacturers like Xiaomi are going to circumvent the problem by switching to 778G.
Xiaomi will release the new Mi 11 Lite NE 5G tomorrow, using the 778G produced by TSMC using N6 unlike the 780G which is produced by Samsung using 5LPE.

Question Lenovo Legion Y70 custom roms tested and working GSIs

Since the Lenovo Legion Y70 doesn't have it's own section, I'm posting this here.
The Legion Y70 unfortunately doesn't have a global rom, only CN. Luckily, it ships with the bootloader unlockable straight out of the box. I've tested several GSIs listed here, and they all work! This phone is great value considering the high end specs, so it's great to know we can install customs roms on it.
No hardware issues aside from adaptive brightness; doesn't work because the GSIs are missing the device overlay.
vndklite images do not boot! Just the ARM64-ab images boot (non-vndklite).
I've tested the following GSIs:
Lineage 20 (Andy Yan)
PHHusson Android 12.1
TrebleDroid 13
Pixel Experience
All working with some bugs. Namely SMS and phone calls randomly stop working!

I know, but this is a very early version
I think this phone deserves its own section for easy communication because the foreign community about this phone is quite small. Also, I cannot find any guide or tips so would be great if someone put a tutorial to guide some newbies like me on how to install new ROM or other amazing stuff. Btw, I tried to unlock my Lenovo legion y70 by enabling OEM unlocking in the developer setting and trying to access fast boot but I saw that my phone state is still locked, not sure why. This phone is high value and has good specs so I'd love to see if the global community can grow bigger

checking the OEM unlocking option simply allows you to unlock the bootloader.
To actually unlock it, you need to do so via fastboot:
1. Restart the phone into Fastboot mode via the command: adb reboot fastboot. You should now be in fastbootd mode.
2. Type command: fastboot flashing unlock
3. Then type command: fastboot flash unlock_critical
Is there a way to create a section for this phone? I hope we can install stable roms to get the most out of the device
I've tried Lineage 20 (Andy Yan) & evolution X, both of them can't receive texts. Everything else works great.

oh thanks, this issue is what I am searching for, thought that's because of hardware issue. I am using Pixel Experience plus, phone not receving SMS text but somehow it received in bunch then not anymore.
If anyone know how to fix this, please kindly advise.
Thank you

Hi, what version of pixel experience plus are you using?
I looked on the official website and didn't find anything about the lenovo Y70...
Could you describe step by step how you installed this rom?

Hi, I am using the latest version of PE GSI rom here: https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases
There is no official Custom ROM for Y70, however, we can use GSI Rom for any Treble compatible device.
These are my notes for step-by-step installation, do it at your own risk:
Install GSI Rom: Copy GSI rom (only use vanila arm64-ab version) file to “platform tools” folder and rename to “system”:
./fastboot reboot fastboot
Then, enter Fastbootd mode on phone (by pressing power off + Vol down)
./fastboot flash system system.img
./fastboot -w
./fastboot reboot
Is there anyone using GSI ROM on Y70 can receive SMS text?

I also have this issue. I'm able to send SMS text messages, but not receive them. This was an issue with Android 10 GSIs, thought it was fixed... Looks like it's still an issue.
I'm trying to find what the solution was for those who had this problem before on other phones.
I tried PHH Treble settings --> IMS features --> Install IMS APK for Qualcomm S+ vendor and request IMS network options but neither work.

after trying endless scenarios, I can conclude this issue is related to LTE.
I have to reset network and check if 3G is enabled instead of LTE, then rebooting. The flaws are that I cannot use LTE and this solution only work for 2nd sim slot
Does it work on legion 2 pro?
Can confirm receiving text messages is now working. I did the following (same fix as other phones on GSI)
I don't know what fixed it exactly, it's possible only 1 of the below actions fixed it:
1. put my sim card in tray 2 instead of 1
2. In settings --> PHH Treble settings --> IMS Features --> Create IMS APN
3. In settings --> PHH Treble settings --> IMS Features --> Install IMS APK. Click it, then install the downloaded APK
4. In settings --> PHH Treble settings --> IMS Features --> Check Request IMS Network
5. In settings --> Network and Internet --> SIMs --> Preferred network type: 3G
Reboot
After doing the above, SMS text messaging is now working both sending and receiving.
As mentioned, it's possible only 1 of the above settings fixed it but now that it's working, I don't want to change anything because I'm using it as my daily driver.
