How to flash Quack Phh-Treble arm64-a/b GSI on the Redmi Note 9 (MERLIN)
All the development credits for this GSI go to @phhusson. For more information head over to his thread.
And @nielsync for the guide on Redmi 9(This method worked on my redmi note 9)
Bugs:
Auto brightness
Headphone jack
Can't test VoLTE so likely not working
What is working:
Everything else
I’m not a developer so you should report bugs at phhusson's treble experimentations issues tracker on GitHub.
WARNING:
I am not responsible for any damage to your smartphone.
All your data will be deleted during the process so a backup is essential
Requirements:
1) Unlocked bootloader here
2) Latest Android platform tools here
3) MIUI stock recovery (maintain it to be able to boot fastbootd)
4) Xiaomi fastbootd drivers here
5) I flashed Phh-Treble AOSP 10.0 v222 system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps here (download the file system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps, unzip it, and rename it as system.img)
6) vbmeta.img here
Steps:
1) Reboot your phone in fastboot mode (reboot and hold volume -)
Run the commands below within the platform-tools folder(copy vbmeta.img and system.img to platform tools folder)
2) fastboot reboot fastboot (to boot into fastbootd mode)
3) fastboot flash system system.img
4) fastboot erase userdata
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
7) fastboot reboot
Notes:
Phh-Treble has root by default which is a plus. Due to the Redmi 9's partition structure the system is effectively read only.
The following video shows the procedure on the Redmi 9, is the same on Redmi Note 9 (video in spanish sorry)

What is your telegram user? I'd like to talk about the credits stuff, because I developed the guide for merlin and posted it in group. This is just an edited copy, reported.
Also, you messed up the commands.
+ the video posted below is of Lancelot and not even merlin.
Is it smoother than Miui and gives more performance??

Hello bro, @nielsync make this guide for Redmi 9 lancelot (serch in Redmi 9 forum).
I just tried the same on my Redmi Note 9 and it worked. I have the redmi 9 and the redmi note 9, so I was able to test the method.
About the YouTube video, I am the owner of the channel, and in the channel is the same method (very similar) for the redmi note 9s and redmi 9.
So these types of procedures are not new to me.
And about the commands, none are missing.
I'm sorry I did the guide before you.
Have a great day.

It works excellent, only the bugs mentioned.
Do you have a link for the Merline Telegram group? I can't seem to find it
Has it fix games lag?
I think this should be posted in ROM forum, isn't it?

I'm happy you guys found my guide helpful and this is simply a copy paste of it. Me and the guys over at the Redmi 9 forums tried many times until we booted and so I came up with those steps. They can be used to flash a GSI on basically any device with logical partitions including A/B devices with two slots by flashing the system on both. A thanks does me no harm

Fail - remote this partiton doesn't exist
good morning to all,
I am writing to you because I have a problem that I cannot solve.
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 ( miui V11.0.7.0.QJOEUOR ) not S not pro just note 9
- my bootloader is unlocked
- I followed to the letter everything that was indicated
- latest android platform tools
- I haven't touched the recovery
- I have installed the xiaomy fastbootd drivers by following the procedure described above.
- I do very exactly the fastboot procedure
invariably and whatever the rom gsi (quack or havoc ) in ARM64 A/B I always have the same mistake:
write system (etc)
...
...
FAIL
REMOTE THIS PARTITION DOESN'T EXIST
if anyone can help me I don't understand
thank you in advance
Great that there is at least GSI for this phone.
Is there a default camera app? Or which are you using and what about the quality?

It comes with default android Camera app (the one in any AOSP-based rom) its stable, but quality is avarage (not good, not bad).
I also tested GCam (version published in this same forum by another user) which is relatively stable and has better quality but its slower.

you can use xiaomi tool kit (search on google) to flash any custom recovery. then flash a good rom (currently miui 10 is best for me.) flash magisk if you want root stuffs or go with flashing lazy flasher after miui rom. reboot, done!

I have downloaded miui 10 global fastboot rom. What is orange fox? I already unlocked bootloader..
Hi @ridersam
Need some advices from you. I am interested in installing Custom Rom on my Redmi 5 Plus. The one I am referring to is Android P Vince (already got hold of the step by step instructions). My concerns :-
1. Waiting to unlock my bootloader in the next few days (Redmi 5 Plus) with root too and to install Red Wolf Recovery (fastboot to install the standard twrp). The default is OrangeFox-R6-Beta-vince.zip recovery
2. From standard twrp to flash Red Wolf Recovery instead of OrangeFox recovery. Can I do that?
3. Going to install Android P Vince custom rom in Redmi 5 Plus (serial of steps instruction from the devs). Done and reboot as my daily driver.
4. Can this Red Wolf Recovery be used like normal twrp recovery for other custom rom or backup and/or restore not only Redmi 5 Plus?
5. Through fastboot I can also install Red Wolf Recovery, right! Do I have to rename the file like recover.img rather the actual name RedWolf-Unofficial-vince-2.img? Another method to install recovery.
Thank you
I have a question
Does the aosp ROMs, pixel experience and such are using the open sources of Vince that Xiaomi released months ago?

[ASK] [MIUI 10] Install unknown sources apk
I've installed MIUI 10 via updater app today, following a factory reset from MIUI 9.6.4. I didn't use fastboot method bcs I'm just lazy lol.
Today i tried installing Sony Music App apk which I had on my previous MIUI.
After finished installing, the screen says "App not installed"
Any idea how to work around this? The install permission setting of unknown sources is confusing as you need to allow each app you would like to open apk from. And no, this is not because screen filter app which restricts you from pressing the install button, I don't use such app and i get to press the install button.
Then i tried enabling it from all my file explorer app, even manually enabling the PackageInstaller system app to install from unknown sources. The problem persisted so i try downloading other apk from another mirror site, and nothing is working.
I'm currently on the 8.8 update of MIUI 10.
Help appreciated.

This is still in early stage and should be normal if some features are broken.
Working on Qualcomm fully-Trebled deivces.
Maybe working on other platfrom fully-Trebled deivces.

4.flash two patch zip
5.wipe data,flash fbe_disabler and Permissiver (from tools) if needed for your device.

SOLVED !!!: My Redmi Note 8 Pro is the Global Version, can I block the bootloader without brick risk after flashing the Indonesian ROM?
Some moderator could support me to move the thread to Redmi Note 8 Pro. Thank you
Edit: Thanks @strongst
I confirm that it is possible to close the bootloader after flashing the Indonesian ROM on a Redmi Note 8 Pro Global. To do this, use the MiFlash application and check the "clean all" option. Do not check the option "clean everything and block" in case there is a problem during or after the fhashing.
After I could confirm the ROM was multilingual and that everything worked fine (wifi, data, bluetooth, nfc, spearkers, etc.), I closed the bootloader, put my device in "fastboot" mode and executed the command "fastboot oem lock ".
Before closing the bootloader I didn't see the Netflix application in the Google Play store, after closing the bootloader there was no problem.

Yes. When you close the bootloader, you will have Netflix available and Google Pay.

They would really be the same steps for any Xiaomi team, so you just need to search the threads of some model. The only variant would be the ROM you need to download, which in this case It would be for the Redmi Note 8 Pro.

Glad it worked for you! :good:
You probably were on a Global flavor of the phone aside from it having a Global Rom.
However I want to stress for others who may be reading this, that if I am not mistaking, based on posts I have read, if your device HW is Chinese flavor, it is absolutely not recommended to relock bootloader after flashing anything as it WILL result into bricking your device.
Edit:
That's exactly what's being said on the tutorial you provided above and that's where I had read about it actually
Here is the part in question.
Edit 2:
DO NOT RE-Lock the Bootloader if you change from China ROM to Global ROM in China phone. Re-Locking will BRICK your phone. Select only "Clean All" option before flashing.

It is right. I also add that you should not lock bootloader, if you have a Global HW and install a Chinese ROM, although hey, I don't know who would do that.

They would really be the same steps for any Xiaomi team, so you just need to search the threads of some model. The only variant would be the ROM you need to download, which in this case It would be for the Redmi Note 8 Pro.

to make your device good you need a bootloader lock according to the ROM version of the MIUI default, learn more at Mega Thread Redmi Note 8 Pro..
ID version can lock with MIUI ID ROm and etc.

you have to lock in fastboot mode and make sure your MIUI version is the same as the device. for example your device base version is India and you have to flash it with the Indian version to lock the bootloader and make sure it's correct so it doesn't happen hard brick
These days, I find many people asked how to enable fingerprint on Mi 8 PRO(runs GSI), so I'd write this thread to let you konw. I only test the phh's AOSP v217 with MIUI 12 20.5.21 vendor. If you want to use other GSI or other vendor you can also test whether fingerprint works on it by following these steps. However, these instructions may only works on Android 10.
I assume you are familiar enough how to flash GSI on Mi 8 pro. If you just a rookie, I recommand you to read this passage.(Of course, don't forget follow the instructions what I writed).
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Flash the MIUI 12 rom(20.5.21) by this TWRP.
Step 2: Find the GSI. ATTENTION: The GSI needs to be ARM64-AB!!! . I will recommand the phh's AOSP GSI v217(Because I only test it). Of course, you can chose other GSIs you like and test whether the fingerprint works on it.
Step 3: Flash it by the TWRP.
That's all. Hope you enjoy it!
Did the partition layout change with MIUI 12?
The Mi 8 Pro (equuleus) used to be a A only GSI image. I would like to try this... even if I replaced my Mi 8 Pro recently with a OnePlus 7 pro... mainly due to the fingerprint!!!

I saw it on phh's AOSP wiki on github. That's what he said:
Why should I use GSI for A/B devices to some A-only devices? : On Android 9, Google changed the requirements and all devices shipped with Android 9 must use "system-as-root". Before this change, only A/B devices were system-as-root and GSI name was separated by A-only and A/B. For this historical reasons, you have to use GSI for A/B on the devices shipped with Android 9+.
If I try to flash the arm64-a Android 10 GSI then it can't boot and just go to the fastboot mode. However, if I flash Android 10 arm64-ab rom, it will succeed to boot. So I think we should use arm64-ab rom instead of arm64-a rom(at least on Android 10 we should do it).
Arm64-ab-floss OR Arm64-ab-go OR Arm64-ab-vanilla?

It up to you. You should chose the one you prefer. If you dont know what differences of them, just search it on Google. And all of them can succeed to boot.

Just because the fingerprint only works on MIUI 12 vendor. Just backup your data and flash the MIUI 12 rom.
Thanks for the guide !
you forget to mention we must had advance wipe the system partition -will mostly go into fastboot if not-
plus, anyone was able to pass safetynet ? my banks apps not working at all even after using magiskhide props
even whatsapp tells me this is an unofficial ROM

U can do this by uninstall root. By click phh settings->Securize then you will rid out of root. However, you can use "MagiskHide Props Config" module to pass the safetynet.
1.) Install the "MagiskHide Props Config" module
2.) Reboot
3.) Run a terminal app and type:
su
props
4.) Set the fingerprint with the following keys (pressing enter after each):
1 -> f ->Any way u want(but I recommend you to chose the Xiaomi option), just follow the instruction of it.
5.)reboot.
And dont forget to uninstall the edxposed module first if you install it before.

I need my root, so I can't uninstall it
I applied a factory reset, with internal storage wipe to ensure everything been deleted, then installed Magiskhide props and set the proper fingerprint "xiaomi mi 8 android 10"
hided google play services and store and framework in the MagiskHide
and now, wow ! it worked
but there is still 2 applications that haven't worked
1) STCpay
2) Alinma internet
may you please try these 2 bank applications to indicate if the issue only with me or not please ?

The Alinma internet can be opened like this. However, the stc pay still cant be opened. You can read this passage "Time attack-based bypass script (Deprecated)" and follow it to make the app work I think. Good luck.
Btw I use the Lineage 17.1 rom now.

Tried that, but didn't get any benefit, even the worked apps had crashed after reboot :/
this GSI stuff is just a headache, no safetynet pass, android auto not working, device get very hot, battery drained faster -better than MIUI12 though- with no additional features upon MIUI at all
I think I will give the lineageOS a try tonight
Thank you my friend for you support all the way "big heart"

Hybrid ROMs: The End of Recovery/Fastboot ROMs
During this Chinese New Year holidays break from building ROMs, we could put some time into research and have developed a new format for our ROMs. We are proud to announce the Hybrid ROMs. Why "Hybrid"? Well, because those ROMs are both Recovery ROMs and Fastboot ROMs, all in the same package...
xiaomi.eu
it can be flashed via fastboot or recovery.
one question if i install the xiaomi.eu ROM is that done with the LTE Band 20? "The Xiaomi 13 Pro is less suitable as an import smartphone for Germany due to the lack of LTE Band 20..."
