Has anyone tried GSI on the G8 Play? - Moto G8 Play Questions & Answers

Just as I asked. I would like to know if anyone has made GSI work or at least tried (like me) to make it work.

Update: It IS possible to install Lineage OS GSI on the G8 Play. However, you will trigger a security error (nothing critical, since your phone will still boot up). To install it, you really need to flash the One Macro Firmware (evidently, your device can hard brick, but it's possible to fix it ). Later, you can flash the Lineage rom through fastboot.
Even though it's possible to install it and even boot it, the rom is buggy. It would be wonderful if anyone who knows better developing than me would work on this device, which has been abandoned for so long...
Some bugs of this rom are:
Fingerprint sensor sometimes triggers volume up or down.
The screen is not well adjusted, picture seems weird.
Dm-verity error which will not allow the phone to boot unless you press the power button again.
Bluetooth audio not working.
I have not tested the rom completely yet. However, I would like to get this forum revived again, with the possibility of "messing up" with the phone. It's not impossible, it just needs some attention

You can flash a blank vbmeta image to disable security error this may help with some issues. good luck and thanks for your contribution to the device forum. (also, sorry for bad english)

I already tried that on the official ROM and it didn't work. I only get a DM-Verity error amd a bootloop when trying to boot Lineage, which can be solved if flashing the stock ROM again.

It's possible install a arm-ab gsi or I need to install one macro arm64 firmware first?

It didn't work for me on stock firmware. Lineage GSI worked for me on One Macro's ROM

Oneplus 3 Problem after unbrick

Hello, Good Day to all! I wont take too much of your time but please help me!
My Oneplus 3 suddenly bricked itself, I dont know how or why but it just powered off and then when I tried to boot it up it was hard bricked. Now I've managed to fix it by following the Mega Unbrick guide for Oneplus 3 and it boots up, but the problem is it crashes during boot, and it randomly crashes after a few minutes which then leads to the boot logo crash, I have to "let it rest" so to speak for a few minutes so that it would bypass the boot crashes. Once it got past the crashes some apps are not responding like Twitter, Messenger and so on. Stock apps are fine it's the newly downloaded ones that are not responding, I tried numerous factory resets using the stock recovery and TWRP but no luck.
I am on Nougat 7.1.1 on the latest OxygenOS version, Unlocked bootloader with systemless root. I haven't tried flashing a custom rom the only thing I tried to flash was the Stock Rom. I also noticed that the WiFi and the Data/Signal was particularly weaker since the messages would not load, I need to actually check the app for it to sync. When I got Messenger somehow working, the messages would not even load up.
Any ideas what the problem is? Any help is deeply appreciated, Thanks in Advance!

This sounds like an hardware issue, have you tried method 2 of the unbrick tool, perhaps you could try to re-download it, have you unzipped it? If it boots let it boot and then upgrade to a new OOS version and then you can do whatever you want. If it doesn't work after you followed my suggestions you might wanna contact Oneplus, don't worry even though your bootloader is unlocked you still have full warranty..

I did the method 2 of the unbrick tool, I've done it like twice or thrice now. I have the latest version of OOS, I am afraid to flash a custom rom because after it flashes in TWRP it immediately crashes, it does not even give me a chance to clear the dalvik or reboot. It crashes no reboot or anything.
But thank you I didn't expect anyone would reply well I regained my faith in humanity in forums
Sidenote: What custom rom would you suggest? or is the stock rom better?

I would suggest VertexOS. It's simple and really fast, EAS and Voxpopuli takes peformance per watt to the next level, if you like feature you might try Zenixx RR.

Lineage OS on A2 lite?

Is it possibleto flash the Lineage treble rom to mi A2 lite?
I still didn't tried this (I must search for a spare phone to use while experimenting with daisy) but you can precede me, simply reset your phone and flash via fastboot with
Code:
fastboot flash system lineagetreblerom.img
You must use the A/B image type.
If something goes wrong you can flash the stock firmware.

As far as i understood treble, it is only the vendor partition which is not flashed. So you would still need a LOS compatible kernel to flash (or you are lucky and the original kernel works). Also, LOS needs to be adjusted for specific things on this phone (like resolution, dpi, options to show up in settings, avaiable ram/storage, etc).
So we have to wait until xiaomi or a proper dev releases a kernel source. It would probably also be possible to adjust the build environment to fit the original kernel.
Or did i understand sth wrong here?
edit:
Flashing GSI's should work, it is a nice way to have another rom with more features on the device, but it is not a homebuilt n optimized rom (probably similar perf/battery to stock).
treble gsi rom don't need the vendor partition that's what makes treble great . you just flash the gsi rom into system on a treble compatible device

It's impossible to have other colors on mi a2, as the phisical LED is only white, not rgb

Well long time since your post. And nobody responding. This advice is not confirmed , as I don't have device yet. But this phone has vbmeta partition, so chances are, you need to flash vbmeta with disable-verity.
I don't remember the exact format right now. But you can simply Google that. ??

install the rom of one macro on it after that boots the blank flash of one macro then it will restart directly on the bootloader and without restarting apply the rom again of one macro and that's it, from there vice you can install gsi arm64 s difficulties
if you apply the wrong commands in the hira to oassar the rom it will bootloop.
sorry english, using google translator from portuguese to english is awful

How I can flash a GSI ROM for Redmi Note 8 Pro?

Hello everyone, Im trying to understand how to flash a GSI img ROM (I want to try AOSP stock, or Havoc OS) but, I saw some posts and looks like is a bit hard to do.
I had TWRP installed (unofficial begonia) and magisk installed.
some informations I found: this device is just A slot supported
What exactly I need?
Orange Fox recovery?
Before flash need to disable something in recovery?
A arm64 slot IMG?
And gapps?
What are the steps?
Im waiting your answer
So far with my personal experience trying to flash Lineage 17 GSI on my RN8Pro and have had no luck. Lost baseband and both imei #'s in the process too (still trying to figure out how to restore).
Finally was lucky!
Flash LR Team TWRP:
https://mega.nz/#!B75xWQQQ!8DQdy09luHihxCziRX7ywUWkAwmAahjnWOQDgHxcTPA
Enable debugging and make sure computer has permission to use
On command promp adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot (immediately disconnect phone and hold volume up)
In twrp go to advanced and Select "Close AVB2.0" swipe to confirm
Go back to twrp home -> Wipe -> Format
Flash gsi
And presto!
I just flashed Lineage 17 GSI as of now I wouldn't recommend it. Fixing to flash ASOP 10 GSI from phhusson see if it is any better!
Also as a favor since I lost baseband and imei for my phone could you please create a backup through twrp of your nvram and nvdata and PM it to me?
If you need any help just pm me!

Off the bat, Bluetooth did not work it just kept giving a Bluetooth has stopped message. Didn't have face unlock. Screen would suddenly flash as if display were damaged and would suddenly freeze when opening stock apps. And a few other things I don't remember as I already flash off of it.

Generic System Image. Basically a single ROM image that should technically work in any device running Android 8.1 or newer. It contains the generic AOSP (Pure android) source.

Disabling HW Overlays means that your GPU is the only thing that will handle all of the graphics on your phone. If this is not on in some GSI ROMs the screen will flicker when it's about to go to sleep and at other random times. It can be accessed in Developer options.
Additionally, as this is a GSI made to work on many different phones, the proportions on the screen are off when you first install it. On Havoc, all of the resizing options are in Havoc Settings. In other ROMs without customization options, there are ADB commands that can resize your ROM. Specifically, the problems I initially experienced were involving the status bar icons and clock only partially being on the screen.

I am actually using the GSI right now. I didn't restore MIUI because I just did not like it. I think I'll stay on this GSI. Again, after some modifications in Settings, the ROM I'm using works near perfectly.
The cameras, of course, are kind of messed up though. No matter what camera app I use I cannot access the 64MP camera and anything other than the camera app that came with the GSI (which is pretty bad) randomly flickers the screen while I'm taking a picture or recording a video, even after disabling HW Overlays in Developer Options. Maybe could be fixed by flashing a third party camera app as a system app.
Other than that, no problems whatsoever.

I don't really mind the cameras not working at a 100% tbh since i don't use them that much. However did you try GCam on GSI or any other API2 camera app?

Yeah, but the screen flashes randomly on them.
CameraMX works great with the cameras that it does support. CameraF5-V crashes randomly. GCam for RN8P can only take photos, and only supports 2 cameras. I think that some of these issues would be fixed if I flashed then as system apps, because the stock camera app works fine, albeit the fact that it's just not a very good camera app.

Question Touchscreen not working

Hi, recently I got this a32 from a friend because my phone is broken, but there's a problem. Some time ago she updated this phone from android 11 to 12 and the touchscreen completely stopped working, i got the phone yesterday hoping to fix this problem but i updated to android 13 (oneui 5.1) and it still doesnt work, i tried do downgrade to android 11 but its impossible and for last i tried to install twrp and then a gsi (following a guide here on the forum), i noticed that in twrp the touchscreen does actually work but after installing lineage os 20 it didn't again, is there any hope for this phone?

We couldn't provide support for the hardware, mostly because you said that you've tried to reset the device and flash the stock ROM again.
If this doesn't fix the hardware issue, the assistance is the only way.
Probably a failure batch etc.
to be completely honest i flashed the stock rom by a backup i did before flashing lineage os, so if there's a guide on how to flash one ui 5.1 in order to have a clean installation it would be rlly helpful

Simply download the latest firmware from SamLoader (Bifrost) and use Odin in order to flash it.
Tell me if you couldn't flash
I tried installing the latest firmware with odin, everything went fine but nothing, touch still doesn't work, i think tomorrow i'll take it to someone to fix it.

what model of a32 is it? SM-A325F or??
One ui 5.1 firmware cannot be downgraded. I currently daily drive crdroid from nazim on one ui 5.1 firmware. my touch has never had issues. May be a hardware issue. Maybe a custom kernel would solve it. I built one for A325F that works on one ui 5.1 firmware. Give it a try from here. Its permissive btw. Just flash it in twrp. Although take a backup of boot before flashing incase something goes wrong

The problem is that after flashing it goes in a bootloop where it says that "this phone's bootloader is unlocked, press power button" i do it and it starts the galaxy logo with above the writing "the software you are using isnt official, you may have problems with security and features" and it gets stuck there, rn i flashed the original firmware with odin and the phone is working but touch still isn't.
EDIT: i forgot to add that when i flashed with odin everything was going fine until the phone's screen went from green to red, i've never seen this so idk if i should be worried or not (phone is still running normally).

yes i'm on android 13 one ui 5.1, the firmware is A325FXXU3DWB8_A325FOXM3DWB8_ITV. I got it checked and they said that it cant be fixed because i cant downgrade from android 13 to another one, i could try installing crdroid like you and if you could send me a guide it would be amazing, thanks again.

Just flash twrp for this thing from here. Follow steps on that thread to decrypt your storage and stuff. Then download crdroid gsi. Extract it. flash img file to system partition in twrp. Afterwards wipe dalvik, cache, internal storage
(internal storage is not necessary). You should be able to boot into twrp sucessfully.
I also have some workarounds and the stuff i use for my daily driving in this thread here.
If you need any further help i'll be here to assist.

Oh um i am sorry looks like thread doesnt contain instructions to that. I'll write em here myself
When you boot into twrp after flashing go to advanced and go to terminal
type
multidisabler
run it two times. Then go to format. Then press format data and type yes. Once its done reboot back into twrp again. Then flash crdroid as i said in my post above. and format the things i said. you should be able to boot into crdroid normally.

So uh looks like you have no options left. I just want to make sure. could you list the exact methods you used to flash the fw. Along with where u got the fw from? Lets see if the fw itself is broken or something.
Also this is very unrelated and time wasting. but you could try download one ui 5 firmware. Then extract super.img from ap. unsparse it and extract vendor.img and flash it to vendor partition using twrp. Then decrypt by typing
multidisabler twice in terminal as said in my previous post. Check if maybe an older version one ui 5 firmware has this issue fixed. one ui 5's kernel boots so one ui 5 vendor should work on 5.1 as well. It may not work but worth a try. you could also try doing this with android 12 firmware if that fixes it. if you do not have a linux machine availible i'll do it for you and upload the files for both firmwares here. Otherwise if its a hardware issue get your phone replaced or try getting the screen replaced. if still nothing happens ig switching to a new phone would be the only optiion.
So, to flash the firmware I used odin, the fw was from sammobile.
For trying to extract super.img and so on idk how to actually do it so if you could explain it would be really helpful. Btw trying to flash android 12 firmware is impossible because samsung made it so,
thank you again for the help.

i use samfw mostly for my firmwares. anyways. You need a linux machine nearby. ubuntu or arch. any distro based on them would work.
first you need to unsparse the super.img
for that we use
simg2img super.img super-raw.img
then we can use lpunpack or mount it to get our vendor.
we flash it using twrp and then we run multidisabler twice like we did when we first flashed gsi.
As you said above if you could do it for me it'd be awesome because i don't have a pc with linux rn.
