Samsung Galaxy Note10 series OneUI 4.0 Android 12 Beta Thread
-This thread will be for sharing tips and help and update.zip/.bin files (when/if available) for the upcoming OneUI 4.0 Android 12 Beta for the Galaxy Note10 series.
Eligible models
-Note10 (SM-N970F, SM-N971N)
-Note10+ (SM-N975F, SM-N975U1, SM-N976N, SM-N976B)
Installation Methods:
ADB-method:
1. Download SDK platform tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
2. Extract the file in your desktop.
3. Inside the extracted folder put the update.zip file
4. Inside this folder, holding left shift, right click the mouse and select "open command prompt here". The command prompt will open.

6. Holding power+volume up buttons, enter into recovery mode.
7. Select "update via ADB". (scroll down using the volume buttons and select using the power button).
8. Connect the phone to a PC using an original samsung USB cable.
9. In the command prompt run the following command:
./adb devices
10. Wait to see that the daemon has started and that your device is found.
11. If you device is found, run the following command:
./adb sideload update.zip
SD-card method:
1. Download the bin file and rename it to update.zip (by going to file options on your pc you can select to view the file extensions. This makes the renaming process much easier and safer, and avoids renaming the file to update.zip.zip)
2. Copy it to the root directory of your SDcard.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Connect any USB device to your device, AKG earphones could work, then press Power+volume up buttons to get into recovery mode.
5. Using your volume keys navigate to "update via sdcard" and press power button to select it.
6. Again using volume keys navigate to the file "update.zip" and press power button to select it.
7. Update will start. Leave it till it completes installing. It will take some time.
8. Phone will reboot by itself and load android.
The update process will start. You will see a percentage counting. First it will verify, then patch etc. Do not move the cable, disconnect the phone or power off the PC.
Once the process is completed (it takes some time) the phone will boot itself, update the apps and log into your home screen.
-Update.zip OTA links:
Note10 (SM-N970F) : Note10+ (SM-N975F) :Note10+ 5G (SM-N976B) : Note10 (SM-N970U1) : Beta1 (thanks to zwenchao_1989)
Note10 5G (SM-N971N) : Beta1 Beta2 (thanks to zwenchao_1989)Note10+ 5G (SM-N976N) : Beta1 Beta2 Beta3 (thanks to zwenchao_1989)
Note10+ (SM-N975U1) : Beta1 (thanks to cloud911 & A3_Kris)
There are two methods that you can use to get into recovery mode
Method 1:
1. Connect your phone to your PC (Make sure USB debugging is on).
2. Using ADB, enter the command ./adb reboot recovery
3. Wait a little and you should be in recovery mode.
Method 2:
1. Power off your device
2. Connect your device to a PC or use the AKG earphones.
3. Hold down Power+VolumeUp buttons and keep pressing them until you enter recovery mode.
This will not trip knox if done by the methods above
Don't install a beta unless you are fully aware what you are going into.
Don't install the beta if you want your phone to be stable, IT'S a BETA.
It's recommended to make a backup of your data before updating to the Android 12 Beta.
Important Notes:
-Rename the .bin file to update.zip in order to be able to flash it from recovery.
-A common mistake done by some people is that they see the file named update while its a WinRAR.zip file already, then they add another .zip making the name of the file update.zip.zip which will not be flashed successfully, So make sure you do it right.
-Updating to the beta is AT YOUR RISK, No one is responsible if anything goes wrong.
You will not receive OTAs again UNTIL you are on a firmware that gets released later for your original CSC, thats most likely not happening before the BETA is over.
What about the link " N975f"?
There is a lot of users with SM-N976N and SM-N976B as well both 10+ 5G
N976N-FUJ1-Beta1，The Korean Note10 + 5G is N976N
N971N-FUJ1-Beta1，The Korean Note10 5G is N971N
N976N-Beta2
N976N-Beta2
N971N-Beta2
I installed N976N-Beta1 and N976N-Beta2, now it says in the play store: "the device is not certified" (((

As always. Only the release will fix it.
There is a bug about N975U1-Beta1 ,note 10+ could not connect to 4G in some network operators like China Telecom .And it also prevents me from editing APN.I can't report this issue to Samsung member because I can't register it .
I'm not sure weather Samsung found this bug.
Any OTA for N976B (Note 10+ 5G)?
There is information about beta 3 for SM-N976N ?

There are two methods that you can use to get into recovery mode
Method 1:
1. Connect your phone to your PC (Make sure USB debugging is on).
2.使用ADB，输入命令./adb reboot recovery
3. 稍等片刻，您应该处于恢复模式。
方法二：
1. 关闭您的设备
2. 将您的设备连接到 PC 或使用 AKG 耳机。
3. 按住Power+VolumeUp 按钮并按住它们直到进入恢复模式。
如果通过上述方法完成，这将不会绊倒诺克斯
除非您完全清楚自己要做什么，否则不要安装测试版。
如果您希望手机稳定，请不要安装测试版，这是测试版。
建议在更新到 Android 12 Beta 之前备份您的数据。
重要笔记：
- 将.bin文件重命名为update.zip，以便能够从恢复中刷新它。
-A common mistake done by some people is that they see the file named update while its a WinRAR.zip file already, then they add another .zip making the name of the file update.zip.zip which will not be flashed successfully, So make sure you do it right.

Once you click a link you may be warned by your browser for accessing the URLs, but fortunately, the Warning page has a part where there's an option to proceed with accessing the page, just proceed and click the link. See example below.

Change the original link, and re-shorten with bitly
Close your browser window
Notify the sender of the URL
Or, continue at your own risk to: http://download.clockworkmod.com/drivers/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe[/COLOR]
If you get no warnings, much better. Let's proceed.
The Preparation : Before you start, make sure that . . .1) You have a PC / Laptop running Windows Platform
2) Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (click to DL from clockworkmod.com) is installed
3) Phone battery power is at least 70%. That's good enough to not run out of power during this whole process.
4) Its USB Debugging is enabled (Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging)
5) You have a USB Cable to establish a connection between the phone & your computer
6) You have the files needed. Keep three files in one folder.
- twrp_2.8_material - 9185 KB (click to DL directly from its dev's (Gody) MediaFire drive)
- Odin3-v3.09.zip - 972 KB (click to DL from sammobile.com's MEGA shared cloud storage) This software runs only on Windows platform.
- SuperSU_v1.94.zip - 1,703 KB (click to DL direclty from chainfire website)7) A copy of that flashable zip file "SuperSU" must be saved in your phone's memory, internal or external .
1st Step : Flashing TWRP Recovery Via OdinWhat is Recovery? | The Two Android Recovery Agents (CWM & TWRP)
Here, we will use TWRP Recovery. We will install it on the device using the Odin software.
Required: your phone, Windows PC, USB cable, Odin, and TWRP (.tar file)
1) Boot phone to "Odin Mode, a.k.a. Download Mode" by pressing the buttons at the same time: Volume Down, Power, & Home. When the device vibrates, immediately release the Power button while still pressing the other two until the Download Mode's warning screen appears.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Press the "Volume Up" button to continue to Odin Mode
3) In your computer, using WinRar or 7-zip, extract the Odin zip file, then run Odin3 v3.09.exe as Administrator
4) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. It should say "Added" on Odin.
5) On Odin, click the "AP" button, find and select the "twrp_2.8_material.tar"
6) Click "Start" to proceed in flashing the TWRP Recovery. *This takes about a minute.
7) It's partially finished when it says RESET! with these three lines in the message box.
RQT_CLOSE !!
RES OK !!
Removed!!
Then, phone will reboot automatically to OS.
8) Sometimes it takes a few more seconds after the phone has rebooted for you to be able to completely close Odin. Just wait for Odin to change its status from RESET! to PASS! and say All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0), as shown in the picture below.
Then, you may click Exit and disconnect cable.
TWRP 2.8.5.0 Recovery is now installed.
And this is how to boot to "Recovery Mode". Press the buttons at the same time: Volume Up, Power, & Home. When the device vibrates, immediately release the Power button while still pressing the other two until the SAMSUNG boot-screen appears. See photo instructions below.
By the way, see the pictures below for the difference between the Galaxy Win's stock recovery and TWRP's recovery.
Important : NANDroid Backup
At this point, with TWRP Recovery installed, you can now create a NANDroid backup. It's a backup of literally everything in your phone - System, Cache, Data, EFS, and Boot. It is considered to be the top priority of things to do before messing with your phone i.e. flashing ROMs, kernels, or apps. After you create a backup, the backup file would be located in "sdcard0/TWRP/BACKUPS/" for internally saved backup, and "extSdCard/TWRP/BACKUPS/" if it's saved to the external memory. This file can also be transferred to a different storage, say a hard-disk, if you need to have more space on your phone for something else. You may skip to the actual rooting part. But, in case you do want to create a backup just follow the simple steps below. 1) Boot phone to Recovery Mode
2) Select Backup
3) This part lets you name the backup file with whatever name you want, choose whether to save it internally or externally, and pick which stuff you'd like to backup. And when you're ready, swipe to backup.
*This may take 5-10 minutes depending on how big your whole current installation is.
4) Once done, you may proceed with the 2nd part of this rooting guide.
2nd & Final Step: Flashing SuperSUSuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
Required: your phone, and SuperSU (.zip file)
1) Boot phone to Recovery Mode
2) Select Install
2) Locate the zip file SuperSU
3) Go ahead and swipe to install SuperSU *This takes just 5-10 seconds.
4) Reboot System
You now have root access. Good luck!

Hey mate, thanks a lot! Your guide is very clean and objective. Links shown properly. You did a good job!
But I'm still facing a problem on my I-8552B. Whichever Recovery I try to flash, I keep getting a black screen.
I tried the one you posted and the 6.0.3.7 version, but nothing different. :/
Thanks! I'm as glad that this guide is helpful to us who need it.
When does this black screen appear?
What have you done so far?
Sent from my GT-I8552
The phone is working properly, I can boot into the system normally. But after I flash any custom recovery via Odin (all I tried, so far), and boot into recovery (phone off, VOL +, Home and PWR boot), I get a black screen.
I've read that people are getting this issue on devices bought after July/14...
Please refer to this thread for more ideas.

There are a lot of threads regarding Android N but there isn't any (that I could find) which have everything you need to know, it is all spread across multiple threads so I have put them all together.
How to install Android N
First you will need to have adb set up on your computer (below)
- Automated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2588979 (follow the steps in the software)
- Manual Method:
Download this file and extract the folder called "adb" to your C: drive. Your path should look like this:
Code:
C:\adb\
You will need to open a command prompt window using this method:
Code:
- Go to the C:\adb\ folder
- hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK
- select "Open command window here".
In order to use ADB & Fastboot from anywhere - use the following steps to setup windows environment variables:
Navigate to & click on Start > Right-Click on Computer > click on Advance System Settings >
Click on Environment Variables (under the advanced tab) > Click on New (User Variables) >
Variables Name: ADB (Or anything you want) Variables Value: ;C:\adb (this is the Path of my adb.exe file)

How to Root Android N
Prerequisites
Backup your device’s internal storage, messages, contacts, and everything else that you feel essential.
Charge your supported Nexus device to at least 60% battery level, to avoid any disturbances during the process.
Make sure that your Nexus device’s bootloader has been unlocked and ‘OEM unlocking‘ is enabled in Settings > Developer options.
Instructions
Using TWRP
Of course, you must have TWRP v3.0.0+ installed. Grab it for your device from — https://twrp.me/devices/huaweinexus6p.html And flash it using the fastboot command. If TWRP isn’t available for your device, or you have forced encryption enabled, use the CF-Auto-Root method below.
Download SuperSU v2.70 zip package: https://download.chainfire.eu/927/SuperSU/RC-SuperSU-v2.70-20160314191951.zip
Connect your Nexus to the PC via USB cable.
Now, transfer the SuperSU package to the device internal storage.
Disconnect the device and power it off completely.
Time to boot your device into TWRP recovery mode. Press and hold Volume down and Power keys until you see the bootloader mode. Once in bootloader, press the volume keys until ‘Recovery mode‘ shows up. Finally, press the power button to enter TWRP.
Now that your device has entered TWRP recovery, go to Install. Browse your internal storage and select the ‘RC-SuperSU-v2.70-20160314191951.zip‘ file. Swipe the ‘Swipe to confirm Flash‘ button.
The process will take a few seconds, and then you can tap on ‘Reboot System‘.
Using CF-Auto-Root
If the above method didn’t work for you, this might cut some slack.
Download CF-Auto-Root package: http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....zip?key=UMEs03ZOQAOFa5WZz1vQnw&ts=1458902487
Once, you have downloaded the package, extract the files to a suitable folder, using an archive manager like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
Boot your Nexus into bootloader mode — Power off the device. Now, press and hold Volume down and Power keys, until you see the bootloader screen.
When the phone/tablet is in bootloader mode, connect it to the PC using a USB cable.
Go to the folder where the files were extracted in step #2, and double-click on ‘root-windows.bat‘.
A command-line window will now open. While making sure that your device is in bootloader mode and connected to the PC, press any key on the keyboard to start the process.
Follow the instructions as stated on the command-line window. Finally, it will take a few seconds to flash, and upon finishing, your device will reboot automatically, beginning with the root procedure. During this process, your device may reboot several times.
When the device has booted up successfully, disconnect it from the PC.

Probably not a good idea. A full wipe is always best in my opinion, especially when you're talking about going between major releases

Disclaimer: Im new and i'm not that good at english,im not responsible for bricked devices.
So for the past month i've been through a journey of tryng to break through huawei's draconian security and i can proudly say that i finally did it, i installed a custom rom on my FIG-LX1
I've read a lot of sources and it all seems to be all over the place so i'm going to try and make this as easy as i can for you.
1.First of all ,if you want a custom rom go to OpenKirin ( https://openkirin.net/devices/) and choose your rom and see if you need to upgrade/downgrade your emui and also if your device is supported.
2.For the bootloader you have two options
a) The paid one, use sigma key or dc unlocker
b) The free and geeky one. Attention you'll need to open up your phone, which is honestly not that hard and you can pay a pro to do this for you for like 5 bucks .This method is pretty straight forward:\
1.Go to Potato NV (https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV) , see if your device is supported and download the software
2. Now comes the hard part, you need to take off the back cover of your device. Shut down your phone, then take your phone cover off, then you need to search google for your test point. For example for me it was Fig lx1 test point (device model+ test point)
3. When you located the test point youll need to short it with the motherboard shield. In their tutorial they said that youll need to solder it ,but it can be done easier. You need just a very small piece of wire and someone to plug the device
Here's how the process looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4.Open potato nv software. Now you need another person to help you. Hold the phone , touch the test point and the motherboard shield and keep them shorted while the other person plugs the usb cable from pc to phone. U should hear the connection sound from windows and the CHARGING LOGO SHOULDN'T APPEAR.
5. Now you can stop shorting the test point and the shield, but keep the phone connected to PC.
6. In potato Nv choose your cpu and unlock bootloader
7.Now your bootloader is unlocked ,if any problems you still have the bootloader unlock code
Back to roms and twrp .
Now you should see this messagge appear:
This menu is very important for changing the rom ,cause every rom needs emui 9 or 8 to be installed and from here you can reinstall the stock emui after flashing custom rom but we'll talk about it later.
Now for flashing twrp.
Boot the device into bootloader mode(shut down ,then hold power+ volume down until huawei appears on screen or Better and easier and useful for later download android platform tools from SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Developers (developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools).Plug the device into pc,enable usb debugging . Open a cmd and open the folder location .Example
Code:
cd C:\Users\USerName\Desktop\platform-tools
and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
. You should see that your bootloader is unlocked
Download android platform tools (developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
Now find your twrp img for your phone , rename it to recovery.img and put it in in the platform-tools folder
Now in terminal open cmd in platform tools folder and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img
Now you have twrp installed
Note that you wont use it neither for rooting with magisk neither with installing custom rom.
Installing custom rom:
Open kirin has a very good user guide and i suggest you to follow it: OpenKirin (openkirin.net/user_guide/openkirin-rom-installation-instructions/)
Btw their rom works with twrp
But it doesn't say how to switch your rom or go back to stock for switching you need to be on stock)
1.Go to Android File Host - Free file hosting for Android developers ( androidfilehost.com) and search for your build number (eg: FIG-LX1) and download a firmware emui 8 or 9.
2.Open the zip ,go to software and from here youll see a folder called dload, extract it somewhere
3.Now youll need a sdcard in your phone,plug your phone into pc and put the dload folder on your sdcard (it should bee on the root directory ,basically dont put it in another folder in sdcard)
3.You should've noticed already that every time you restart your phone there is a warning message sayng that your phone is unlocked( image above)
4.Press volume up for 3 seconds and it should take you to huawei recovery ,from here press wipe data and factory reset to kinda reinstall huawei recovery which youll use for dload
5.After wipe restart your phone ,press vol up + vol down + power until huawei logo to enter force update
6.Now wait for it to do its job and install emui.
*If it doesnt do anything , take the sd card out ,put it in another device ,open dload folder,find update.zip and put it on the sdcard instead of dload folder
7. To switch the rom repeat the steps from open kirin,note that if u had twrp youll need to install it again
Now the hardest part ,rooting...NOte that i tested root only on stock so your process can be diffrent but im not sure ,you cand try for other rom this process
For stock and no twrp:
1.Force update emui with dload method , needed for a recovery img.
2.On pc open dload folder ,open update.zip and extract UPDATE.APP
3.Now download huawei app extractor from here [TOOL] Huawei Update Extractor [UPDATED: v0.9.9.5] | OPEN-SOURCE LIBRARY | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com) (forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-huawei-update-extractor-updated-v0-9-9-5-open-source-library.2433454/)
4.Open the app and go to settings and untick every box you see
5.Now go to extract and extract the UPDATE.APP file
6.Now you should see a lot of nonsense,find recovery_ramdis.img ,left click it once, then right click for options and select extract selected
7. Now u should have a recovery_ramdis.img file.Move this file on your phone and install magisk manager.
8.Open magisk and press install in the tab with the mask(the first install button) tick the box with recovery mode, then select patch a file and select the recovery_ramdis.img file .Now it patches it. Then move the patched file to the pc again, to the platform tools folder
9.Enable usb debugging on the device and plug device to pc
10.Open cmd on pc and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
, or simply reboot to bootloader(shut down phone,then hold power + vol down until huawei logo appears)
11. In cmd type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched_yourfile.img
Dont forget to change the yourfile into your file name mine had something like this : jhfdU
12.Reboot your phone and voila u have root, if doesn't work go back to magisk press again install,tick recovery mode, but this time select direct install and this should resolve problems
Magisk official guide(kinda hard to understand) : Installation | Magisk (topjohnwu.github.io) (topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#huawei)
Note that by this you'll remove your custom recovery .
IF U WANT TWRP i assume that you patch the twrp img file with magisk and flash i,t you can try it out and post your results or u can try to just flash twrp as is.
Hope i helped you !!

Don't be afraid: The latency you see is caused by the non optimization of the refresh rate of the e-ink panel, which I'd like to port from stock cinese rom. (here if you'd like to help to make the e-ink works on android even faster than stock!!).
System UI is very much smoother than on stock rom (try with scrcpy).

Instructions:
Spoiler
Bootloader still locked (unfortunately). (or tell me if you managed to unlock )
Android 9 works good.
Android 10 lags.
Before starting: Backup all the data, partitions and most importantly the EFS/QCN file! (Read BACKUP QCN section.)
If you'd like to share a vanilla EFS/QCN file, erasing your IMEI with a blank one before doing it, that would be useful in case someone corrupted his one. You can read more about on the guide.
Make sure to read the Disclaimer above.
- Install QPST and Qualcomm Drivers from Hisense_a5_Flashpaket_6.10.04.00.zip
- Format a microSD into FAT32, then unzip Hisense_A5_LA592C(HLTE202N)_L1657.6.09.06.00_TFDownload_202004090105_user.zip to a folder named HLTE202N_TF and copy it to the microSD. Insert the microSD inside the smartphone.
- Unzip HLTE202N_HLTE202N.R1_L1657.6.03.02.00.7z and replace recovery.img, vbmeta.img, boot.img with those you find inside zip file boot_recovery_vbmeta_6.03.02.zip.
- Enter in EDL MODE by [/I]adb reboot edl[I] or this and connect the device with usb cable to PC.
- open QFIL and select Flat Build, then select Programmer and choose prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr_000bf0e1, load XML rawprogram_000bf0e1 and patch patch patch0 from HLTE202N folder.
- Click Download to flash stock ROM 6.03
- Once finished, detach usb cable and reboot the smartphone this way: hold vol up and vol down and power at the same time and as soon as it boot, release only power button until you see vision logo flashing TF
- Wait the smartphone to boot the 6.09 firmware, and once booted, enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
- You should see developer options inside the submenu other settings after tapping 7 times on kernel version inside about phone.
- Now check system updates, and OTA update to 6.10.04.00 and no more, just only to build 6.10.04.00.
- After update complete, unzip Hisense_a5_Flashpaket_6.10.04.00.zip
- Open QFIL and select flat build, then select programmer prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr_000bf0e1, load XML rawprogram_000bf0e1_joygram and patch patch0 from Hisense_a5_Flashpaket_6.10.04.00/rootkit_6.10.04 folder.
- Enter in EDL MODE and click Download to flash root for ROM 6.10.04.
- Once finished, detach usb cable and to reboot, press power button for at least 20 seconds, or more, to exit EDL mode.
- Once booted up, install Magisk 22.1 and give all permissions, then open it, and click ok if it asks to install additional setup. Phone will reboot.
- Once rebooted, connect the phone via adb to pc and type adb shell
- Once in the adb shell, type su and a popup should appear on the smartphone. Grant permission from smartphone.
Checkpoint
- Once here, you could be ready to flash your desired GSI ROM (I've tested many, and look like only compatibility is with Android 9 and 10. 11/12/13 didn't work on my tests, and android 9 is the smoothest performance wise, while android 10 is not really supported and it lags on system.)
At this point, if you'd like to try out different roms, You need to return to Checkpoint, and follow again the steps below.
Your GSI rom should be arm64 and ab partion. Here you can find a list https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list (look for android 9 and 10 roms)
- Unzip your GSI rom, then rename the unzipped .img file to system.img
- copy system.img file to simg2img directory and double click convert.bat to start the unparsing process. It should make another system file inside same folder, but with .ext4 extension.
- copy the system.ext4 file to another directory.
- Open QFIL and select flat build, then select programmer prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr_000bf0e1 from Hisense_a5_Flashpaket_6.10.04.00/rootkit_6.10.04 folder.
- Enter in EDL MODE
- Now go on Tools and Partition Manager
- Popup will open, now right click system partition and select manage partition, then erase, then load image.
- Select the system.ext4 file, and it will start flashing.
- Once done, click close, then close again, and then ok.
- wait 10s and detach cable usb from the pc.
- press power button + volume down for 20s to enter recovery. You might want to try some times. Mine worked like this: as soon you feel the reboot vibration, release the power button but keep holding the volume down button until you see recovery logo. or. if it's still stuck on hisense logo (power on), press power and volume down button for 5 seconds, then release power button while still holding volume down, it should enter recovery.
- Inside recovery, erase all the data.
- Reboot, and wait at least 20 minutes, the phone should boot your GSI rom!
Possible error: If you still see Hisense logo with backlight on, probably your ROM has booted, but somehow it won't show you the main display.
Fix: with https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy by pressing the screen, after cable is connected and adb devices command launched, where the adb authorization popup would appear, just try to click "ok", and then scrcpy would allow you to see what's happening. Finish the wizard and you should be able to continue on the smartphone now. Keep in mind you may need to use scrcpy at each reboot, because for some ways, the smartphone boots up showing only Hisense logo, but underlying the system is working.
