GSI install process?

I'm curious if anyone has loaded a gsi on the oneplus 7t and if they know what boots and any workarounds that might be needed.:fingers-crossed:
on fastbootd
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system_a GSI.img
fastboot flash system_b GSI.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img " use the vbmeta.img from oxygen "
All those should be flashed in one go without rebooting. boot and vbmeta are those taken from OOS stock rom.
i have looked and i can not find the t-mobile stock rom i can get these files from. i have the files used by the msm tools but can find one that can be used. could you explain or link me please

Question Magisk install stuck on fastboot

Hey everybody.
So I've recently got this Redmi Note 8 (2021) and figured I'd root it.
After the week of waiting to unlock the bootloader, I did the next step to install Magisk.
Due to the lack of custom recovery, I patch the bootimage, and flash it with fastboot.
However after this, the phone is stuck on fastboot, so I guess something is missing.
I also tried the canary versions, but no success yet.
Did anybody succesfully instal Magisk on this phone? Or some other type of root?
I'll just answer my own question here.
Android 11 MIUI devices need enabled verification in boot.img AVBv2 signature​
This pull request will fix it (for me): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/pull/4975
Trying the vvb alpha worked for me.
You should flash first vbmeta.img with this command:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Then flash the previously modified boot image with Magisk:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

I heard about this vbmeta at several occasions, but I haven't found a proper resource or download location for it.
How do I create or download a patched vbmeta?
Other than that, the solution I posted does work for rooting my device. But I think flashing vbmeta might open some options up for me like a custom recovery.

Hi.
when ich put that command i became that error:
C:\adb\fastboot.exe: unknown option -- disable-verity
sorry, i made a mistake. got it now
hello can you help me to root
Sure.
Install the newest magisk.
First unlock the bootloader, then patch a boot image with magisk, and flash it to your boot partition with fastboot.

Question Disable verity command not working

Hello everyone, I am trying to root my pixel 6 pro, I've unlocked bootloader, but trying to disable verity isn't working, I entered fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification and drage the file there but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
We need more information on what "not working" means. Does it not change anything? Is there any errors?
Also, I believe it is fastboot flash vbmeta.img vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification
Replace vbmeta.img with the complete path to your vbmeta file
Update your platform tools. These commands won't work on older fastboot
like drnizeguy said, you need to download the latest platform tools... pretty sure thats your issue
This is no longer needed.

More specifically, it's no longer needed if you're using Magisk canary 23016.

Question Konabess in C.47

On firmware C.47 after changing any settings the system stops booting. Flashing a modified vbmeta which helped to solve the problem on C.44 firmware doesn't work anymore and also leads to problems with booting the system. Perhaps someone knows how to get Konabess to work on the latest C.47 firmware?
For me it works like before. Please try following commands and use extracted images from c.47:
fastboot flash boot root.img
fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img

For some reason it didnt for me. I tried flashing in each slot one by one and it works
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_a vbmeta_system.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_b vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor_a vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor_b vbmeta_vendor.img
Here is my config, i made it for my previous mi 11 ultra but it works just as fine for my 9 pro.

Disable vbmeta
I haven't tried this, running OOS 13. Does this wipe any data? Or it keeps all data in place?
Is there a guide about this (for first timers)? Or have I got to just follow the post #2
Thanks

Join the telegram group mentioned above or visited the Konabess GitHub. The info is there. There are also YouTube videos. Lots of info about it if you simply search for it.
Peeps kept asking me in Telegram and in xda so here is what you do to update OOS without crash dump.
From your CURRENT ROM payload.bin, extract dtbo, vendor_boot, vbmeta, vbmeta_system, vbmeta_vendor. Then use the commands i put below. After that just local flash the ota and use magisk to patch inactive slot.
Spoiler: Reverting Kona Changes and Restoring Verity.
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash boot magisk.img - the magisk patched boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system_a vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system_b vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor_a vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor_b vbmeta_vendor.img
------------------------------------------------------------------
To re-use Konabess after the update, extract the images above from the OTA payload.bin and just use the commands down below.
Spoiler: Using Kona
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_a vbmeta_system.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta_system_b vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor_a vbmeta_vendor.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta_vendor_b vbmeta_vendor.img
This works for me in OOS 13 ROMs.

Flashed vbmeta.img causes phone to keep booting into recovery

I am using EEA MIUI 12.5.15.0(RGGEUXM) version. I have downloaded the ROM from here, which I got the vbmeta.img from.
When trying to disable AVB 2.0 using the
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
command, it reports as being flashed successfully but causes my phone to keep booting into recovery until I flash stock ROM using MIFlash.
Why does that happen?
@theimpulson afaik no A/B device, so the above cmd should work, right?
