Compiling AOSP From Scratch - Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other

Hey All,
I wanted to start a thread on compiling AOSP from scratch. I have done a bit of work with the folks over in the unofficial Lineage build (thank you @gee one!).
If you want to recreate my work, I posted helper scripts to include the necessary changes as well as a guide on how to compile there. Those scripts were adapted from lineageOS.
You can download a compiled img files or the recovery-image.zip here (get the vendor image here, and get the bootloader and radio images here). The recovery-image.zip should be able to be flashed in TWRP, or you can execute the following commands in the bootloader for the img files:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot -w (to wipe cache and data)
This is currently based off of build PQ3B.190801.002, last updated 2019-08-30
This ROM is compatible with MicroG, OpenGapps, F-Droid Privileged App, and Magisk
MicroG - Install via NanoDroid: https://nanolx.org/nanolx/nanodroid (Install first NanoDroid-Patcher then NanoDroig-MicroG)
OpenGapps - https://opengapps.org/
Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk
F-Droid Privileged App: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged.ota/
KNOWN ISSUES:
- AT&T does not have "Enhanced 4G LTE" mode, and WiFi Calling doesn't seem to work. I imagine this is a proprietary blob missing.
- eSIM isn't functional. I have a test build for it if you want to try, but it will crash without MicroG or Google Play. When I get confirmation it works I'll add it.
- There are probably other proprietary files I can add so that I can unlock normally stock ROM features, feel free to post and let me know. I am happy to even provide test builds, so if it does work, I will add it to the normal ROM.
NOTICES:
- This is untested in Sprint and Verizon. I removed a bunch of their proprietary files, so if you install and it doesn't work, install this version and see if it works. Please also let me know the results!
- If you do not install the AOSP Vendor above, you get a "device is corrupted" error. This is intentional. Secure boot is still on, so you cannot use the factory vendor image.
- The compiled ROMs will stay as close to AOSP as possible, with the exception of adding proprietary files that unlock stock ROM features. I do this so maintaining the ROM is easy, and I really only make this ROM for myself. I don't mind posting the compiled ROMs here, and I do hope folks find it useful. However, I am not adding non-stock/AOSP features (i.e. Lineage/OmniROM/bootlegger/etc. features). If I did, I have to add and maintain them. I really have neither the time nor the inclination to do that. The only way to change my mind is if I was paid to do it, but I already have a well paying day job, so the paycheck would have to be very well worth my while (which is why I don't have a donote button, I really don't want to feel like I'm obligated to do this).

I was trying to be "smart" and use vendor.img from stock ROM. It failed miserably.
Boot to TWRP first, did factory wipe, reboot to bootloader and flashed ROM:

You should be able to use the vendor image off of the google website (AOSP drivers, not factory image), all you are doing is unpacking it and then agreeing to the terms of use. You can't use other ones because it trips secure boot. I hesitate to upload it because you have to agree to terms of use when you unpack it.
EDIT: I confirmed, the SHA-512 of the vendor.img off of the google website (AOSP, not stock) is exactly the same as the one I flashed (I.e. the compilation process does nothing to it). You do have to use the AOSP one, or else you trip secure boot.

How are you getting the "device is corrupt message". I think that only shows up when your bootloader is locked. Are you sure it's not the orange message " device can't be verified"? You should only get orange or yellow messages. The red message means something is wrong- missing keys or bad/no signature.
I might be a little confused- I've been building and flashing so many variations, I can't keep them straight anymore.

I compiled AOSP with the AOSP vendor.IMG, not the factory vendor.img . he is using the factory one, and that triggers the "device is corrupt" error he is getting. It's secure boot detecting the difference in vendor images

If you build it with the stock image as a prebuilt vendor image, the hash and info should be included in the vbmeta.img. The BoardConfigPartial.mk file has
Code:
BOARD_PREBUILT_VENDORIMAGE := vendor/google_devices/sargo/proprietary/vendor.img
which should add whatever vendor image you put in there to the vbmeta data.
However, if I recall correctly, building aosp with the aosp vendor images doesn't enable all the features. I think wifi calling and camera are broken on stock aosp.
There is a great tool for bringing the extra proprietary files into aosp. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/android-prepare-vendor
This will create a drop in replacement for the vendor/google_devices tree. I believe it also replaces the qcom tree as well.
Here is stock aosp built with help from the android-prepare-vendor scripts.
https://brownbagdinner.com/sargo-aosp-prepare-vendor_d6c76ce9.tar
This probably isn't gapps friendly, although there is a --full flag that will pull in more files that could help with gapps.
I don't think that you have to flash system_other.img, but it will probably speed up your first boot.
You can use "fastboot getvar current-slot" to see what slot you are on, and then flash system_other.img to, you know, the other slot with "fastboot flash system_<type in the other slot here> system_other.img"
You might have to wipe data if you are coming from a different rom, and you might have to reflash the stock vendor if you are going to a custom rom that is expecting the stock vendor.

One of my next steps was to try the Graphene OS scripts to see how they work.
I am actually able to use WiFi calling and enhanced LTE on T mobile with the AOSP vendor image, and the camera works fine. If you are compiling AOSP yourself, you can also just swap out the vendor.IMG to the factory one.and recompile, it will do like you said.
I am trying also not to include every single.proprietary thing that is included, just what is needed for desired functionality. Several of them adds functionality for Google Play, and that can be added with openGapps.

You are right. Once I extracted vendor.img from AOSP it booted!
I'm looking around, playing, installing... So far so good
Magisk and EdXposed are working ,Google camera is working after installing microG as well as my banking app, Netflix and all other apps I use.

Signature Spoofing require FakeGApps2.apk which is Exposed module. However FakeGApps2 is throwing lots of NullPointerExceptions in EdXposed. If you add signature spoofing into ROM, this module won't be needed.

OK. I haven't tried Exposed in a long time.

My mobile provider has LTE. Mobile network in Status bar shows 4G+ (ok, no big deal).
In Mobile Network -> Advanced -> Preferred Network type, it also say 4G+ (again no big deal). However when I click to 'Preferred Network type' the available options are 3G and 2G. No 4G+, no LTE option.
The mobile speed is fine, it's definitely as fast as any other ROM.
Any chance to add eSIM into AOSP? I nave tried to install eSIM app from my backup, the app is there, but it won't show in the options (Settings->Mobile network->Advanced->Carrier)

I'm aware of the first issue, I have a feeling there's an app I need to add that I haven't yet.
I recall Gee One saying you need Gapps for the eSIM to work? I know AOSP is aware of it (if you go into reset -> network, it will ask to also wipe your eSIM).

Esim looks for gcs/google services otherwise it will force close.

Oops, hit send too soon. Lineage has LTE as an option. I can't remember if I've ever seen it on aosp. I think yes, because WiFi calls are HD. I'll check when I'm home later.

The AOSP one I compiled doesn't have that option. I was wondering if I didn't include a proprietary file to allow that. But it does give me enhanced 4G LTE mode (VoLTE) and it gives my WiFi calling, so I haven't made too hard of an effort to look.
If you know what it is I am missing that'd be great!

I have microG installed and eSIM Manager (pulled from Stock ROM) and it's not crashing.
However, I cannot start it. My guess is that some menu option is missing or has to be enabled in Settings.
If I search for eSIM in Settings it point to 'Carrier', but nothing happen when click on this.
If I try to start some of the eSIM Manager activities I'm getting "permission denied". Don't know if this help.

Yup, that sound right. The menu has a toggle for 4G LTE mode, but the network type only allows for 3G/2G.
This is for aosp.

Is there a ROM thats works well (camera, notch, etc) without gapps?

Hello, does anyone have a complete ROM running, where all the little stuff is working without gapps?
Ideally im searching for Lineage but any AOSP, or anything without Gapps is welcome here.
Thanks for any hint.
Havoc rom working fine
thanks for the reply. so battery life, notch, wifi, etc. all working and no single google app is preinstalled?
is it a GSI (treble) or a rom specifically for a2 lite?
As far as I know there are no custom roms for our device beside GSI's at the moment.
i thought so but what i read from lineageOS´s GSI i presumed they all have serious difficulties with custom notch position and special drivers for each telephone. so i couldnt imagine havoc working just fine with a2 lite. There also isnt a thread for havoc here right? at least i didnt find it at the custom rom section. but if thedoop says its working just fine ill give it a try as daily driver. as long as i have gapps from custom rom i wouldnt even take the phone out of the fridge
After you tried Havoc please report about your experiences with it.

I do have difficulties flashing ROMS. Once I did flash successfully, but after installing Magisk, it bootloops, and I also stumbled upon the Encrypted Password thing in TWRP.
i tried today without twrp, so just flash-all stock, then fastboot havoc.

So I've been on the original stable Q build and haven't updated since. Recently I've been getting the popup saying its time to update. The bottom option is always remind me later. Yesterday it popped up and i auto clicked the bottom one, however the "remind me later" wasn't there and i ended up clicking "update at 2am". 2am, update, lost root.
I know you can do the boot.img patch but i decided to do a clean install. So i downloaded the full december factory image and did the following,

After everything it writes the fastboot screen goes dark and comes back before it writes something else. Did i miss a command? Magisk manager doesn't give me the option for full uninstall either so, i figured it'd be easier to just go back to stock and root from there.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Update of platform tools solved the issue as reported by OP. Thread closed at his request.

Problems flashing a clean crosshatch 10 AOSP build to Pixel3XL

So, I just got a Pixel3 XL and am trying to build and flash my own clean AOSP build (as a starting point). I'm pretty technical, but new to the ROM world. (Would have posted in the ROM sub-forum, but my acct is brand new, if a mod wants to move it, cool.)
After successfully building, I'm getting an error halfway through running fastboot flashall now, after the reboot. Has anyone hit an error at Writing 'product_a'?
For my setup, I basically followed this awesome guide by @codevalley : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/how-to/noobs-guide-to-building-aosp-scratch-t4012293
Since it was a new phone, the additional steps I had to do were:
* Connect to network in order to enable OEM unlock
* install the right drivers so fastboot would work, not just adb
* re-flash the OEM firmware, otherwise fastboot fails right away
The only oddball thing about my setup is that I'm building in an ubuntu VM and flashing it from windows after copying the whole target/product directory over.

The only thing I see is that it is only flashing to slot_a. It is my understanding that you need to flash to both partitions a and b before the process will work. For me it has only worked when I flashed to both partitions. Also adding .\ before the command may help. For some reason it only flashes for me when I add it.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL
Does the AOSP build process generate full OTA images similar to what are found here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota?
If so, try flashing just the bootloader in fastboot, boot into recovery, and sideload the full OTA.

I had this exact error running fastboot from shell on a Chromebook. Simply booting into the full Ubuntu installation I had installed on the Chromebook allowed me to flash.
I believed in my case the error was due to running out of memory. Though using an old fastboot version or a c -> c cable could also cause trouble.
You can also manually flash partitions instead of using the script. Remember, to get to fastbootd, you have to "fastboot reboot fastboot" from the bootloader.

Both of these are good points. You wouldn't think a USB-C to USB-C cable could cause fastboot problems but I've experienced this first hand. I can't quite remember the error I had, but I couldn't flash the stock factory images while using a USB-C to C cable. Switching to a USB-A to C cable (USB 2.0) resolved it.

Question "No command" screen after installing custom rom

Hello lads, after trying trying to install multiple android 13 custom roms I have issue booting my phone. Keep getting this annoying "no command" screen after it tries to reboot few times. Could anyone help me with this one ? I know that issue should be very easy resolvable. My daily driver used to be stock most recent (not beta) firmware.

Did you erase your boot image by chance? Reflash /boot and /init_boot
Ok, i will do. I havent deleted it for sure, but i did flashed bootloader to all slots, would that could effect booting up ? as i have some errors during installation of custom ROM, but installation finished with successful message.
BTW with original firmware it booted up without a problem. And I still used stock firmware for another day after playing with bootloader or boot files.

OK, this is the screen I am getting, but I am looking for solution why any custom rom does not run on my phone. I know that installing stock firmware would fix issue, but i do not want to use stock firmware.
