Can I flash GSI using SP Flash Tool? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have OPPO a5s device that supports project treble and I want to install Havoc OS GSI on it. My device has no fastboot and no unlock bootloader capacities and I found out that I can use SP flash tool can flash without fastboot and without unlocked bootloader which is perfect for me. Can I flash GSI to system partition directly?

Yes

yes, flash full stock rom and reboot and setup
add the gsi (renamed to system.img) into the stock rom folder (rename stock system.img to systemBAK.img)
turn phone off and flash as normal, it should boot into havoc, might take a bit longer than usual.
If you have no TWRP or custom recovery you cant flash Gapps so hopefully your havoc has those inbuilt

I tried to use an empty vbmeta but there are no results, if someone thinks of what to do and can tell me, I appreciate it, I would also like to point out that in the stock there are verifie files in addition to the normal ones.

Bootloop Please help

Ok , So I finally was able to unlock my bootloader after getting that 50 % error, I thought that I'd flash miui 8 , so I downloaded the rom from official mi website and flashed it with twrp but for some reason I got stuck in a bootloop. I dont want to download fastboot rom as it takes a lot of time due to slow internet, so could anyone tell me how can i successfully flash a rom from twrp. I've got bot miui 8 chinese developer rom and global beta rom downloaded.
You need patched boot for normal twrp or u must use cofface twrp to flash the rom.
You cant flash stock rom via twrp without patched boot.img
And if you are flashing marshmallow rom u must know that the bootloader will lock itself again.
Why not just flash the miui.eu version? No boot image mess..

Edit : The recovery worked. Thanx.
where can I find a patched boot.img for latest chinese developer rom.Thanx for the fast reply.
Just use cofface recovery for stock roms:

I think that the Alca recovery do the same, but I haven't test it yet

Bootloop after flashing rr nougat

Hey guys.
I'm using a 32/3GB kenzo with an unlocked bootloader running official rr mm.
I formatted the phone, flashed CM14 firmware, flashed the official RR nougat and GAPPS, then rebooted to system.
At this point, it started bootlooping, booting to the MI splashscreen, staying there for about half the time it usually does, before rebooting and repeating the process.
At this point, I was unable to access recovery, but was able to access fastboot and edl.
Flashing a recovery using the "fastboot flash recovery" command failed, so I assume that the partitions were corrupted.
I had to revert to MIUI by flashing through edl using MI flash, which fixed all the issues.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Or should I follow the newbie guide 2.0 from the forums?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Which recovery you uaed for flashing rr n. Because you went bootloop and recovery was not able to access that means may be some problems in recovery or either in rom/gapps zip. Make sure you are flashing gapps for NOUGAT only. And use latest stable miui firmware (not cm14 zip one although may be both are same)
Try this
1. Flash zcx recovery (I recommend this, never disappointed)
2. Flash latest miui stable firmware
3. Flash rom zip
4. Flash gapps n
Boot to system
5. Then flash kernel or anything.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it soon. Can you tell me how to get the miui stable firmware?
Should I fastboot flash latest MIUI stable before flashing the ROM or is there a MIUI firmware zip file to flash?

There is flashable zip file which is extracted from miui rom only. So both way will be good as flash latest stable miui rom and then twrp > rom zip > gapps. Or twr0 > firmware zip (search in any custom rom thread you will get one) > custom rom zip > gapps.
Only benefit of flashing firmware zip is less time consuming and less file size (around 50mb) compare to full miui rom.

[recovery] [modded] twrp 3.2.1-0 [oreo support]

With this modded version of TWRP you can now install A1 roms into the 5X.
How to install A1 roms using this TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5x/how-to/guide-how-to-install-a1-rom-5x-t3777139
Oreo Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 Download:
Google Drive
Nougat Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 Download:
Google Drive
How to install:
- Unlock bootloader
- Enter in Fastboot Mode (Power Button + Vol Down)
- Flash using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
- Enter in Recovery Mode (Power Button + Vol Up)
Which one should I download?
You should install the correspondent version according to your currently installed Android version. If your current system is Nougat, you should flash Nougat TWRP. Same for Oreo. It doesn't matter which version of Android are you going to install, but the one that you already have installed. If you are in Nougat and want to flash Oreo rom, after flashing it, be sure to flash Oreo TWRP. If you dont do it, recovery may not work.
How can I use the port feature?
First, download an A1 fastboot ROM. You can do so here. Then, flash system and boot partitions using fastboot.
After you flashed it, go to "Advanced" then tap on "Terminal". Write "a1to5x" and press Enter. Wait until it finishes. Make proper wipes and reboot.
Are there any other features?
I have enabled system.img and modem.img flashing, so people without a pc can flash A1 fastboot roms. But be careful, system.img can't be a sparse image (this are the images included on the a1 official fastboot rom), it should be a raw ext4 image. You can use simg2img to convert them. Modem.img can't neither be flashed directly from the downloaded fastboot rom. It should be a modem.img extracted with dd, you will need to ask some who flashed it with fastboot to extract it for you. I know it is not a very easy process, but at least people without pc now have a chance to update their phones.
In what roms does it works?
I have only tested it with official Android One Oreo rom, however, it should work with Nougat Android One and with custom roms. Try it and let me know in what roms does it work.
How do you port A1 roms to the 5X?
I have been asked this question a lot of times. I can't give a step by step guide since I don't have enough spare time to make a decent guide. If you are interested on the porting process, take a look at /sbin/a1to5x (inside twrp ramdisk), it is the script which takes cares of the automatic porting process. Inside it you will find how the ports are made.
Where is the changelog?

is it normal that the external memory is not shown?
@Aex12
Thanks for your great work. I have some question.
Should we install an whole A1 fastboot rom or only install system.img and boot.img like the old one?

Forgot to mention it on the thread. Thanks for reminding, I am updating it right now. You should only flash system and boot. Modem and other firmware partitions can be flashed too, but they are not mandatory.
And have someone test LineageOS 15.1 for Mi A1 with this recovery?
Awesome work @Aex12. Thanks a lot

That was somthing I also have noticed.. without sd memory being shown I can't do a backup to SD Card.
Instead I'll have to do a local backup and connect to PC and copy files over, Early stages I guess we are lucky we can even see the Internal Memory right?
Alright so I was curious and thought I'd see what happens if I flash recovery Nougat Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 ( While currently running Oreo )
I booted into recovery and instantly discovered that you no longer even have access to internal memory 0b shown.. Don't waste your time !
I flashed recovery Oreo Modded TWRP 3.2.1-0 using fast boot as you won't be able to flash a recovery rom using TWRP in this state..

Can not get back to MIUI Nougat or even get old recovery to work
When i try to install back xiaomi.eu's miui rom after installing zip and do all the proper wipes, it reboot to system but says that encryption was interrupted and can't complete. So I tried to install back the nougat 3.2.1 recovery and try again, with the same result. again i tried to install the rom again with 3.1.1 recovery and same happens. With nougat recovery it can't mount any partition, so it can not opperate properly, only the oreo recovery works. the only rom that works and gets installed good is the oreo one that you submitted so what can i do to get back to my normal twrp recovery (no oreo) and to a miui rom? thanks
P.D: I also tried to flash with fastboot a a1 nougat rom and with the 3.1.1 twrp port it but no succes as it can no longer mount anything, only oreo twrp is working but still not get to work properly any other rom, via fastboot or via recovery. Bootloader is unlocked.

I think you need to fastboot flash boot image first, then go to twrp and flash it again from it.

@Aex12 please update TWRP. I can't format /data /system etc from twrp made for MiA1(MohanCM's) but I cannot do it with yours. I have mi5x and it is ****ing stuck on boot. If I flash MiA1's fastboot rom I can get to fastboot and flash TWRP (since the bootloader is locked) but I can't do anything with your TWRP. But I can also flash MohanCM's twrp and I can do all that stuffs except for installing ROms and booting to it. im ****ing confused myself.

Make sure u come from latest miui 10 stable
If u unlocked boot loader unofficially and zcx
then first replace ur zcx twrp with latest twrp. Then u can flash custom roms and gapps.
U dont need any firmware Before flashing custom roms.
Just format data
Wipe data reset
Flash rom and gapps.
Reboot.
If u try to flash those 50mb size miui firmware zip using twrp then u will brick ur phone coz u r unofficially unlocked. So get rid of that firmware fever from ur head. U dont need any.
In case if u feel like going again back to miui global rom then put ur phone in EDL mode and flash kate fastboot global rom using computer and miflashtool.

Better use official TWRP, Orangefox or Redwolf recovery
No need to flash firmware as you're already on MIUI 10.2
Just wipe system, data, also format data & proceed to flash the rom

Can you help me? This is for Kenzo
I had softbricked? my phone. Went through the process of installing the MIUI 10 fastboot rom but it required activation which I can't do as I forgot my login details (i bought this phone years ago)
Yesterday I managed to unlock unofficially using this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66379587&postcount=3
Didn't install 7.1.8, just 7.2.5, followed the instructions, was able to enable oem-unlock and usb debugging, confirmed bootloader was unlocked
Flashed the latest twrp, tried zwcx, lastly tried the latest orangefox
Tried flashing AOSPextended nougat and viper os nougat with various recoveries but they were stuck at the logo for the corresponding roms
I am not sure...do I have to do anything with that boot.img patcher? And if so, when would I flash it?
Went through the same steps again. Same result. All roms get stuck on the custom boot animation
edit:nevermind, flashed that unlocked bootloader rn3_unlockonly in miflash and it booted up

There is an updated guide to unlock unofficially on MIUI 9 with new bootloader.
The problem was you unlocked on older version of MIUI.
To recover password try to visit mi cloud & check if you can do something or forget & use custom roms as there's nothing good about MIUI.

This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

Prerequisite
If you plan to install custom kernels, flash the zip AFTER installing Magisk
Make sure to remove any ‘boot image mods’ such as other root solutions. The easiest way is to restore the boot image from factory images, or reflash a non-prerooted custom ROM
