Question How to install a GSI properly? - Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)

Hello all, I've been trying to install /e/ OS GSI on my Redmi Note 11S, but that didn't go exactly well. Luckily, I managed to fix it. So before I brick this thing again, How should I install a GSI properly without bricking, and which GSI would you recommend? I am looking for something more privacy oriented. Thank you in advance

Is there some sort of Linux alternative?
And which GSI would you recommend?

I have tried Evolution X A13 & Pixel Experience Plus A13 & CRDROID A12 and on all of them I had issues with Wifi, bluetooth, thethering - non of them worked so I gave up and went back to miui

1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (take the vbmeta.img file from your current firmware)
3. fastboot reboot fastboot (because gsi must be flashed in fastbootd )
4. fastboot getvar is-userspace
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
7. fastboot flash system YOUR_GSI_ROM.img (system.img)
8. fastboot reboot recovery
9. (in recovery) wipe data
10. (in recovery) reboot to system
i flashed yesterday Arrow OS lite A12 it has several fixes for most common problems on board and it worked very well and smooth.
on telegram you can found a magiskmodul fix for auto-variable Hz and a magisk modul for disable hw-overlays consistent. (cauz after reboot it turn back on automaticly)
BUT gaming performance is horrible and good kernel tweaks are over my level

Had someone tried any of these GSI images without having wifi / bluetooth issues?

Download the Fastboot Firmware that match the Firmware on your phone from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...dmi-note-11s-4g-poco-m4-pro-4g-fleur.4428655/
Extract it with the file and in the images folder is the vbmeta.

I have this weird issue on every GSIs where the status bar isn't aligned with the camera. Does anyone know how I can fix that?

Good catch, I missed this information when I had a look!
It seems to be a issue with the app he's using!
DevCheck by Flar2 (who does the ElementalX kernel for years on many different devices) reports the android version correctly - and I personally trust rather Flar2's App then anything else!
Should be just a bug in the App that OP uses...
Edit: also selinux appears to be disabled in OPs screenshot, I wonder if he did this on purpose or what the deal is (another App bug?) because usually Magisk patches selinux but doesn't disable it, at least from my experience...

Yes, definitely bootloop risk!
Make sure you understand the instructions in this post and to have the stock kernel stored close to you, in theory you should be easy able to restore the device from bootlooping by flashing the unmodified stock kernel...
And you'll need to unlock the bootloader which will factory reset the device, so before playing around you'll probably want to backup your important files and do the unlocking process, which takes a while on xiaomi phones

Teclast M40 How to unlock bootloader?

I have found a method of Teclast P20HD to unlock bootloader which can be found in "https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/teclast-p20hd-android-10-tablet-4g-t4141997" and "https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32287.html", but I'm not sure if that method also works on Teclast M40. If that method works can I restore the bootloader to lock state instead of relock state so I can keep the warranty.
I think re-locking a device's bootloader will not reinstate your device warranty as damage might have occurred when the device was unlocked. Take note that re-locking a bootloader will ensure that the device will only boot to Teclast signed and provided Android images.

I succeeded in unlocking bootloader of M40 by hovatek's method, but didn't try rooting it.(https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-32674.html)
Here's M40 stock rom. In case you need to recover it...

stock rom in teclast m40 too much error.Is there a better rom to replace? tks
If you suceeded to runlock bootloader, You can replace stock system to gsi system. You need to prepare linux PC (or live usb) and vbmeta.img (included in stock rom).
Generic system images | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
When you flash, you should use linux PC (Windows pc won't recognize fastbootd mode) and android SDK's adb/fastboot (do not use apt-get install adb/fastboot.).
Download from here -> https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads
If you want to repalce to Gapps included rom, you need to delete product partiton
> ./fastboot delete-logical-partition product
I tried Android 11 GSI, but boot-looped in OS. Android 10 GSI rom works fine and less error happens.

That's good news for M40. Would you share in a little more detail how you suceeded in doing that? Greatly appreciate it. If we could flash gsi, that would open up a lot of choices.
I have unlocked bootloader successfully.
Which vbmeta.img is needed here? I have extracted vbmeta_system, vbmeta_vendor and vbmeta-sign. Thanks.

According to the source, we have to flash vbmeta. But I flashed vbmeta, vbmeta_system, vbmeta_vendor just in case, as follows.(for unlocked device.)
./fastboot reboot fastboot
./fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta-sign.img
./fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
./fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img
./fastboot erase system
./fastboot delete-logical-partition product
./fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system (your gsi.img)
./fastboot -w
(When I flashed system, I also disabled verity and verification, but it may be unneccesary)
When I replaced GSI rom, I seemed to forget to wiping userdata.
So, if you wipe userdata, android 11 GSI rom may be flashable.
(Android 11 GSI is freshly made and under developing, so some trouble may be happened like MTK devices.)
NOTE: If you want to root M40, hovatek already succeeded to get root. Refer this
(Do not simply patch boot.img and flash. Device will boot-loop.)

Which gsi image did you use? I tried Havoc (Havoc-OS-v3.8-20200821-Official-GApps-arm64-aonly & Havoc-OS-v3.8-20200821-Official-arm64-aonly), BlissROM and AOSP 11.0 v300.j. No luck, all ended up booting into fastboot mode only. I have flashed back to stock rom now.

It is arm64 ab. My mistake of assuming it as arm64 aonly. I tried a few ab roms and as what you said, only PE plus is working. So far I have not noticed any bugs in PE plus. I like it more compared to the stock rom. Thanks a lot for the guide.
Another gsi rom (ShapeShiftOS-1.2.1_arm64-ab_gapps) flashed successfully. This rom has more features than PE Plus and is equally good.

Can you by chance post a link to where you downloaded this from?
Also any other options besides stock Rom available now?
Thank you this is a very nice thread. My first tablet and the mic is not working well. So need to flash the Rom to something else. Now to find out what is involved.

You can download ShapeShift OS from here (https://sourceforge.net/projects/androidgsi/files/ShapeShiftOS/10/).
I have tried most of the Android 10 and 11 (arm64-ab with gapp version) gsi roms provided here ( https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list) and so far, only managed to get 2 gsi roms (PixelExperiencePlus and ShapeShiftOS by Diust) working.
I have also managed to install magisk manager successfully in stock rom but not in gsi roms. I am using ShapeShiftOS. Hope you can find a new one and share with us here. Good luck!
Sorry for such a noob question. But what is the difference between a and ab in the names of the releases?
Also have you guys tried using headphones with your M40 while talking to someone on it? Or even recording yourselves? How is the sound?
I don't use headphones, only bluetooth earbuds. By the way, bluetooth doesn't seem to work in gsi rom but stock rom is ok.

WOW! So this is not se easy. Is it because the tablet is still new and the processor is so new? Will things settle down and stabilize?

The sound of stock rom in both speaker mode and bluetooth earbud is loud enough and okay. Sound of gsi rom in speaker mode is slightly better. Gsi roms are generic and usually need some fine tunning for specific devices.

Sorry for such a noob question. But what is the difference between a and ab in the names of the releases?
Also have you guys tried using headphones with your M40 while talking to someone on it? Or even recording yourselves? How is the sound?

Hello friend, I am newbie in Android. All I know about GSI is A only means your devices can boot only 1 /system partition. A/B means your devices can boot 2 /system partition: /system_a and /system_b.
I was gonna buy this tablet but I saw this is Unisoc which I am afraid of the support tools. So I bought M30 Pro instead. I will consider to buy M40 later if the price drops again.
Edit1: A/B is like seamless update over OTA. When you download firmware Updates from OTA your devices can flash during running the system to the other /system partition. Once your devices reboot the newly flashed /system partition will be active and the other recent /system will be inactive.
Edit2: You can download Project Treble Check app in Play Store to see which types of your system partition would be.

Teclast T40 Plus Root

Received the tablet in the mail, and now looking to root via Magisk (and ideally a custom recovery like TWRP).
I found this video describing a way to download the stock ROM from Teclast:
Has anyone achieved root on this device? Can anyone confirm Treble ROM compatability for GSI A/B?
On the russian forum 4pda somebody posted the patched boot.img and vbmeta.img files required for rooting.
If anyone is registered on the forum he might try to grab the files, for me it gives 404 error when trying to download, though im not registered..

Good find, but the link no longer works. It gives me a 404: https://4pda.to/forum/dl/post/24458874/T40_Plus_root.7z
My guess is it would work if we were logged in, its just that i cant create an account since i cannot get past rhe russian captcha
Yeah, I also can't register without knowing the Russian keyboard layout and how to identify the characters. Perhaps someone with this knowledge can register and attach the required images to root here?
Slightly off topic while someone manages to grab the files from 4pda
Do you actually get 50000+ gpu score in antutu with the t40? I have the maxpad i11 which is in theory the same hardware, and I only get 42000. I even flashed the t40 firmware on the device, but gpu score didnt budge.
To be on topic: if you want root, you may also flash phhuson's treble GSI rom-s. I tried his version of android 12, and it works, and has root.

Yes.
You can either install them via DSU as dual-boot OS beside your stock rom, or just flash system partition (inside super) via fastbootd (you are going to have to delete product partition to have enough space inside super for the system image) and use them as primary OS.
Gotcha:
Just ordered a T40 Plus, did you manage to get root?
Flashing the boot and vbmeta partitions with the images attached to my previous post will grant you root on the stock t40 plus firmware.
I myself moved on to using android 12 gsi images.

Hey,
You need to use the spreadtrum research download tool (RDT), not the one seen in tthe video in the first post.
See this guide on how to use the RDT.
The basic concept is that you need to download the official firmware from the teclast homepage, load it into RDT, uncheck all partitions (save for those that are compulsory and cannot be unchecked), select only boot and vbmeta partitions, and as images to be flashed you need to browse the ones found in the archive I posted, instead of those found in the original firmware package.
Begin flashing, your device will perform a hard reset, and then you should boot into rooted firmware.
Theoretically you should be able to flash both partitions (boot and vbmeta) via fastboot too, but when I tried, i got an error message saying boot.img was too large or something. Flashing via RDT went without problem. The only caveat is that flashing via RDT will always hard reset your device.

How to install android 12 gsi on this device?

First you need to unlock the bootloader. You need to be patient when you are flashing the unlock, my device took some 10 mins to complete, but in the end it succeeded (on the 2nd try, mind you.)
Here is a guide for unlocking in windows, though it is in russian (Im attaching the required modified fastboot in case you cannot download it from 4pda).
When you're done unlocking the bootloader, you've already done the hard part.
Next, download your preferred GSI image from Google, from phhusson's, or whatever else you find (Pixel Experience for eg.). Mind you, that the image from Google contains the Android 12L version.
Next you will flash your active system partition with the GSI image. To do that, initate ADB connection to your tablet, then enter fastbootd, by issuing the command:
fastboot reboot fastboot
you can check your active system slot by:
fastboot getvar all (but it will be slot "a" unless you have received an OTA update previously)
you need to free up some space by deleting the logical partition product otherwise you wont be able to flash your gsi:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
(in case your active slot is "a")
then you can move forward to actually flashing your GSI:
fastboot flash system_a whateverisyourimagefilename.img
Lastly, you will need to wipe userdata, which can be done on the tablet by switching to recovery from fastbootd, and then selecting wipe userdata, or maybe the fastboot -w command does the same.
Reboot, and enjoy your GSI.
I'm using the Google 12L GSI, and it is perfectly stable for daily usage. For bluetooth audio to work, you will have to disable bluetooth a2dp hardware offload in developer options.

I have no idea because I havent tried yet. But I would guess it might be possible that you can flash the patched boot.img along with vbmeta.img with RDT, and it might work, if they do pass Android Verified Boot check.

will these files work on android 10 or android 11? I have a unisoc T618 and unisoc T310. I was hoping to flash both tablets to get root access.
and also do you have a twrp for T40_plus or any unisoc generic twrp?

General GSIs on N200

The process of flashing alone is conventional, shouldn't even need a thread to detail, but still leaving a thread here for search indexing.
With an unlocked BL, flash an ARM64 AB GSI within fastbootd, reboot to recovery, format userdata, reboot, profit. vbmeta isn't even needed in my case.
EDIT: One thing that's unconventional and I forgot to mention is, for many GSIs, you gotta delete product_a to make room prior to flashing:
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
EDIT2: Magisk doesn't like to see product_a go. Instead, just flash a blank one (from #15) to it:
Code:
fastboot flash product product_gsi.img
Thanks to @Whoareyou for the original finding and @darkghost568 for additional ideas.

To proper custom ROMs? Dunno, I don't do bringups. I'll at least make/refine/submit the device overlay so GSIs would look proper.
Note that Magisk seems incompatible and prevents booting, at least when paired with my GSI - need to restore to stock boot image. Mine comes with PHH-SU so I'm not keen on getting Magisk working anyway.
OK I'll ask since I have no clue. What's a GSI?

I'm personally waiting until TWRP is more stable for this device before jumping into GSI.
Android 12 boots unsurprisingly as well, not as usable as 11 ofc.
A Generic System Image, is a universal version of android, which is available since project Treble separated the O/S into a "HAL" (Hardware Abstraction Layer) driver layer interface and the core operating system.
boot contains the kernel.
vendor, vendor_dlkm, odm, odm_dlkm are the drivers.
system, system_ext are the O/S core.
product is device specific O/S customizations.
Overview | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
Project Treble is a good thing, making strides for Android to become a standardized operating system.
GSI install Guide:
Using information from:
Generic system images | Android Open Source Project
source.android.com
We find that we are supposed to flash vbmeta.img with "--disable-verification" because GSIs don't "include a verify boot solution". However, this step is not required on our particular device, due to OnePlus specific changes of verification being automatically disabled upon bootloader unlock.
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader, up to date fastboot installed on a computer
1. Boot the phone into fastbootd mode by:
booting into recovery mode, by holding power and volume down during boot, then
rebooting into fastboot (only) mode, using touch menus: advanced, reboot into fastboot, then
connecting usb-c to a computer and using the poorly named command:
fastboot reboot fastboot.
Now we can use fastbootd commands.
2. We must erase the system partition:
fastboot erase system
3. next we need to obtain a GSI. I used phhusson's GSI build.

Choose arm64-ab for our phone's architechture
floss for open source apps but no GAPPS or vanilla for no GAPPS,
don't choose vndklite (Vendor Native Development Kit Lite) as it is a compatibility version for older versions of android's "HAL" layers.
"system-roar-arm64-ab-floss.img.xz"
decompress it to .img (and rename to GSI.img for brevity)
4. If we attempt to flash our GSI into the system partition:
fastboot flash system GSI.img
It will inevitably fail due to "not enough space to resize partiion"
The tool isn't smart enough to handle this task of resizing a "full" dynamic partition.
So we have to delete virtual partitions out of super to make room.
5. We must remove any present -COW partitions, which are Copy On Write partitions, which seem to be made by an A-Only virtual dyamic upgrade system. Their purpose is to host temporary changes to a partition, so the original partition is preserved for an emergency rollback, using associated interfaces to the original partition and the COW partition for access.
check your "fastboot getvar all" for any COW partitions, and delete them.
fastboot delete-logical-partition system_b-cow
6. In the official documentation, they admit that we have to delete the product partition(s) manually to make room.
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b
7. With that done, we can reattempt to flash the GSI.
fastboot flash system GSI.img
8. The official instructions then require a fastboot -w in order to clear user data and "system partitions" data, but this is optional.
Are (A11 based) GSI's daily-drivable on the N200?

That Magisk compatibility does work on most other devices, even including an OPPO device which N200 is a rebadge of. Not sure why it is. Install PHH's Superuser and you get root for apps at least.
MicroG support is limited to priv-app for safety, as shown here.

The /sbin hack is already integrated, but that doesn't seem enough here.
To root y'all need to do:
fastboot create-partition-primary 512 product
Then flash the attached product.
Then flash your rooted img, it'll boot successfully.
This GSI also works beautifuly, even has 90hz, if only there was an overlay for fingerprint scanning.

OPlus devices really like to throw files (overlays, fstab, etc.) everywhere... TIL, thanks.
I tried out WhoAreYou's product image using
fastboot create-logical-partition product 512
(His syntax gave an error.)
While It did allow me to boot with a Magisk 23 patched boot.img along with Phhusson's vanilla GSI, Magisk did not work. The Magisk 23 app gave a strange error "Unsupported Magisk Version, This version of the app does not support Magisk version lower than v20.4". I downgraded to Magisk Manager 7.3.2 and the system hung whenever Magisk ran instead. Perhaps it is a conflict with the SU system in the GSI. I tried the "securize" option in the Phh treble menu, which caused a reboot, but did not remove root / su . I do not know how to remove the SU modifications present in the GSI, if that is required.
I attempted to use his product image along with his linked pixel 5 beta Android 12 GSI, but the system would not boot with a Magisk 23 patched boot.img.
I attempted to use his product image along with AndyYan's Unofficial Lineage 18.1, but the system would not boot with a Magisk 23 patched boot.img.

You downloaded MIUI 12.5.7 is a good start but you could have alternatively download and flash only the firmware base which is only about 100MB. Also I see the instructions were not 100% clear, hope this will be clear enough for you. Also before you do, backup your files!
1. You supposed to go into bootloader, not fastboot.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img files through fastboot command on your PC.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_ab ./boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot_ab ./vendor_boot.img
3. Now you need to go into recovery mode. It should say pixel experience recovery on top of the screen.
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
4. Select Apply update -> Apply from ADB.
5. Now sideload the zip file through adb command on your PC
Code:
adb sideload ./PixelExperience_renoir-***.zip
6. You may need to format your data so it will boot properly.
Above commands are examples but might be different on your type of operating system you're using, so take them as example, not the exact command that will guaranteed to work.
If you're still having problem then, there's underlying problem that i'm not aware of and hope someone else will help you to flash it.

TWRP will never work but while you're on TWRP your base should be on V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM, flash that first in TWRP and then maybe try flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img and go to recovery mode. Without it you will never be able to install. Please give me details what your phone is, is it 5G variant with renoir codename?, is it global or china?, did it had MIUI 12.5 or 13?, these informations are necessary.

When i'm stuck i'm forced to install this back to not be stuck on fastboot loop. I found a "renoir_eea_global_images_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_20220105.0000.00_11.0_eea" fastboot version but the installation is not working (would you have one working from my config ?).
I also tried to flash the firmware (fw_renoir_miui_RENOIREEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_325e38b5bf_11.0 ~104mo) which gave me an "orange" fastboot instead of the fastboot with the funny character. And tried to install the recovery from pixel after but still stuck on fastboot.
Hope it will help you a bit more to help me

i feel like your partition is messed up by TWRP so my advice is clean flash V12.5.7.0 fastboot rom with method of "flash_all.bat" on windows, "flash_all.sh" on linux i forgot the filenames but there's also method with lock in the name which you should avoid and then never touch or install TWRP as it's a bit unstable even with Android 11 roms, now you flash boot.img and vendor_boot.img provided by Pixel Experience through bootloader that only spells fastboot, no extra letter at the end.
This is important, Rebooting into bootloader and fastboot is different, when you do 'adb reboot fastboot' it will show fastbootd with orange text which something you should avoid, instead do 'adb reboot bootloader' or by vol down + power button and flash those 2 files.
If you still having problems try changing your boot slot by
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
or
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
And then
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
If you still having problems, then head over to this telegram group and get help from ROM maintainer: https://t.me/arixelogroup
The Official build Pixel Experience is now available for renoir
It works perfectly on my device
PE for renoir

Thx, but that's what i'm trying to do since yesterday, but i don't manage to fresh install 12.5.7.0 with the fastboot rom i found (miui_RENOIREEAGlobal_V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM_325e38b5bf_11.0
I always get errors when i run the flash_all.bat, saying that my rom is more recent than the one i'm trying to flash. I tried to delete the "if statement" checking for the versions, but seems to mess up with the "directories name" after.
Would you have some link or place where i can get a working 12.5.7.0 with fastboot install ? I'll try it properly from this one.
Thanks in advance.

Thx for your answer, as i was saying: same error with mi flash tool (look the screenshot)
And if i comment the "checking parts" inside the .bat files, i get directories error on windows: it does not seem to check properly my direcotries name
for example a line is like this:
fastboot %* flash crclist %~dp0images\crclist.txt || @ECHO "Flash crclist error" && exit /B 1
the %~dp0images seems to be my path, but it's not taken properly into accoutn, seems to have " quote problems with the path
Edit: I had to double quote " the path inside the script as my path was having spaces inside
Thx for you help, I managed to install it, the only problem was to properly install 12.5.7 After succeding that everything worked as it should

So that's why... so many hours wasted trying to get Wi-Fi to work. I had the "fantastic idea" of flashing the official global miui (renoir_global_images_V13.0.4.0.SKIMIXM_20220412....) prior to installing DotOS and when wi-fi did not work, flashed Pixel Experience...
And I'm pretty sure flashing miui 12.x will trigger ARB and brick the phone. Right?
