Kirin GSI Custom ROMs Developments for Huawei - Huawei P20 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve

I have found this android 10 Rom for which you are uninterested in the probe on my p20 EML L09 and it works correctly
https://www.haky86.com/kirin-gsi/#Android_100

Does it work with L29? What version of the recovery has to be used?
Thanks in advance for your answer?

Screens?

I can confirm the ROM is working pretty fine !
Flashed via fastboot then I flashed TWRP (downloaded the P20 Pro version from the official TWRP website) and sideload Gapps since touchscreen isn't working

Some screenshots

Get the official TWRP app, choose Berkeley as your device and download latest TWRP 3.3.10 I think
Then flash it via fastboot, reboot into recovery by holding volume down while powering up. Plug back into your PC, adb sideload gapps.zip , you might have to adb shell twrp sideload before

Do you intend to develop more around the P20 or Kirin ? Would love to try new ROMs and I can still run your AEX as daily routine, battery is not as good as emui9 but close and everything is running fine

Ya it wont install. The .img has to be smaller then 2.5 or 2.6 GB in order to install on this phone. Something like that

OP3 - Nethunter - "Unpacking boot image failed"

Hi there,
I wanted to install the latest image of Nethunter (found on build.nethunter.com/nightly) but when I install it with TWRP I keep getting the message : "Unpacking boot image failed" in the log screen.
What I did in order:
- Unlock fastboot mode
- Flash TWRP recovery (found on build.nethunter.com/twrp)
- Reboot on TWRP
- Install kernel ( kernel-nethunter-oneplus3-nougat-3.15.4-20170126-2226 )
- Install ROM ( nethunter-generic-armhf-kalifs-minimal-rolling-3.15.4-20170202-1604 )
- Reboot
It is when I install the rom that I get the error message "Unpacking boot image failed". Even if at the end it says "install completed - Success", it keep loading (with the nethunter loading screen) indefinitely...
I tried many differents versions of TWRP and even different builds of Nethunter, I found nothing on the net, so what should I do ?
Should I post an issue on the kali-nethunter github ?
Hope you have some ideas of what I can try...
However if you need any other information (log file ...), tell me what.

What ROM are you using?
Last time i installed it i was on OOS 3.2.2. You have to flash kernel and then the big file (generic nethunter.....)
Found that in https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68451978&postcount=6
It worked perfectly but since 3.2.2 i havent touched it again so not sure what rom is compatible atm

I mean version of OOS, not nethunter overlay. See my screenshot. You have to download one of the following kernels depending if you are on MM or nougat. Flash it before flashing the nethunter overlay

Sure. Just give me time to post what i did, currently restoring my nandroid because something went wrong when updating metapackages, so im going to download full version instead of minimal and enable OGT-USB to check if wifite works. I will post the steps asap :good:
meanwhile..... how the **** do i enable usb-otg? i dont find the option in settings/storage/3dot
Good and bad news: OTG does not work (it worked for me on MM) but nethunter runs "well" ... it stucks while rebooting and some weird things more. It runs laggy as well...
Steps and config i have
-Experience ROM v10.1(oos 4.0.2 with some adds) and custom TWRP by blu_spark v14
1-Download these 2 files from https://build.nethunter.com/nightly/3.15.4-20170202-1604/
-kernel-nethunter-oneplus3-nougat-3.15.4-20170202-1604.zip
-nethunter-generic-arm64-kalifs-full-rolling-3.15.4-20170202-1604.zip
2-Reboot to recovery and install nethunter-generic-arm64.....
3-Not sure if you have to reboot and then install kernel but i flashed nethunter+kernel without rebooting to system
4-Reboot to system and open supersu, then open nethunter app and grant superuser permissions
5-Done.
I Dont really know why my external adapter or pendrive are not recognized, because it did in MM with same hardware lol. Maybe now only works with official usb-c adapter, who knows
I will try this when I can, but it is close to what I already did.
I will edit this post when done.
I seen that you used the arm64 version, perhaps the problem is that I use the armhf ?

Long time silent reader here. I always find solutions for my problems in xda-devs, until now.
Hope you guys can help me once again..
So, yesterday I messed up my OP3 and wiped all partitions on my phone.
I've tried many steps, trying to flash a flashable stock rom (the one with boot.img and system img) in fastboot, result= installation succeed, but getting blackscreen on boot.
Installing full OOS rom from adb sideload using stock recovery, result= failed (* cannot read 'OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip' *)

Copy the rom to my phone, and installing the zip with TWRP, result failed (error=7)

So twrp is working right?
Flash any rom say lineage os
Flash multirom by BitOBSessiOn
Flash multirom twrp
Flash oos as secondary rom
And then swap oos to primary rom
try with some other TWRP . May be v16 blu_spark
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
Ye sideboard gives me issues aswell, push the zip and manually flash it In twrp: "adb push romzipname /sdcard/", the file is now ib the folder /sdcard/.

Then it's a twrp issue. I'm currently in Bluspark v16 so
Error 7 in TWRP AFAIK is an issue with using an incompatible recovery, try the latest one 3.0.4-1 I think it is from this forum.

I flash twrp bluspark as @Puddi_Puddin suggested and flashing Freedom OS. After that, I restore my data using my last Nandroid backup, then the bootloop comes again. Tried it several times using TWRP Bluspark with different ROMs, still no luck. So I suggest, there's nothing I can do to restoring my phone's data.
I read across the XDA forums and Oneplus forums that some people had similar issues for me, and they suspected something's wrong about corrupted partition, not because twrp version. And I also had tried flashing a few ROM in the past using the same TWRP 3.03 version without any problems. Strange.
Anyway, problems solved, my phone's up and running.
CASE CLOSED.
Thanks XDA

this is for fastboot ????
Like OP said, to those who wants to flash this needs ZCX TWRP.
Bad thing is, ZCX is a modified TWRP with Chinese Language. Once you successfully booting into the system after flashing, you can back to TWRP and flash the official TWRP to go back.

It can be flashed directly through built-in updater, if you are on MIUI right now. Just choose the zip file manually.
Hello, i'm currently on xiaomi.eu and TWRP 3.1.0.
If I flash ZCX TWRP, i can flash this ROM by dirty. Or should I make a clean flash?

My previous rom Global developer Version: 7.3.9 (MIUI8), and I didn't carry out a wipe.

Format data and cache partitions as ext4 not as f2fs..
Then follow my instructions as before..
Miui has inbuilt gapps..
Why u need opengapps then ??

Yeah... Probably coz the gapps in miui are in data partition instead of system partiton (atleast that was the case with miui 8 on my other device the Redmi Note 4G)

Confused about TWRP

I got the redmi note 8 gingko 4/64 and wanted to ask which TWRP is actually the "best". Installed the "original" and it seems to work fine, but read here and there that the one of mauronofrio is recommended. What would you suggest?

if i flash kernel it works. if i flash magisk for root it works. i mean you boot into OS and kernel is installed and so is magisk. if i flash a zip that has ringtones they dont install they do not show up in phone ringtones or in folder its like its not placing the files to system partition. but if i use official twrp flashable zips do install and show up in phone.. i have tried both oreangefox and pitchblack both wont flash those zips i mentioned.
seems like something got messed up . i was in rn5 whyred using orange fox.. then magisk 20.2 was released anad orangefox got update.. after that update it didnt install those zips.. then another update was released in a day. and still dont flash those zips. at that time i reverted to the old orangefox i had and that one worked.. so last friday i unlocked bootloader and encounter the same as in whyred orangefox doesnt install the zips i mentioned.
strange that no one has reported already.

strange that no one has reported already.

hmm that seems weird. Did you create the zip yourself or downloaded from somewhere?

My experience with self-made (and third party updater-zips) is, that you have to mount the system and vendor partitions manually before you install the updater-zip.
Have you tried this already? For me that's the way it works.

I have read your guide very carefully and thanks for that! Don't get me wrong, but has nothing to do with my question. My device is encrypted and yet there has not been any problems with the original TWRP and encryption or something similar.
My question was if there are any known problems or issues with the original TWRP and is it for that reason necessary to change to another one like Orangefox or the one of @mauronofrio?

Hi..if you read the guide then you might know by now the problem with official twrp is the bootloop in decrypted devices..you can't flash miui OTA with twrp...if you're on encrypted device with twrp then you have to flash full rom...other than that official twrp works just fine

yeah, had this never before either until redmi note 5 and now 8
Any idea why you can't switch off the light in TWRP?

the only differences were the reasons I bought it: much better Camera and two SIMs plus sdcard... that's it and it feels good.
What you have to wipe for flashing this ROM?
Data, System, Vendor, Cache.
All of them, right?
