Installing GSI's? - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
As the title suggests, I'm looking for help in flashing GSI's(Generic System Images). I was looking through the Android developer website for Android 12 today and the 'Get a Generic System Image' tab caught my eye. I was wondering if any of you guys have experience in installing GSI's and could briefly outline the steps needed.
Here's the link of the Android 12 GSI if you're interested.
I guess I should post this is the general questions section but this is the device(Redmi Note 8) I can afford to experiment with at the moment so here I am.
Thanks in advance.

there is already a complete A12 build for RN8 that you can flash directly
(be carefull in what firmware to flash)

GSIs

Hi,
Has anyone been successful in flashing the Android 10 GSI? Especially if you are using the Chinese RN8. Would like to hear how you've done it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Managed to do it using resources from the Redmi Note 8 Discussions Telegram Channel. Just do a search for it and you'd likely find it.
Currently running PE Android 10 Unofficial. Some bugs but as this is a secondary phone not a big deal to me.
Same question here. I can see in phhusson's Github documentation that Redmi Note 8 is one of the devices which has successfully booted his AOSP GSI and I can't see any indepth guide and discussion on how it can be done here in XDA.
Some do claim that they were able to run it while here I am trying to make it work with no success. Be it AOSP 9 GSI or 10 it just won't work at all. I followed the GSI installation tutorial for the Mi 8 here with the same old results. The Redmi logo just keeps on bootlooping after following all instructions.
If there's anyone who were really able to boot these GSIs to their Ginkgos, do leave a reply here on what worked for you so that we can also give it a try. Much appreciated.
Hey,
I've try to flash GSI (phh-treble 10 V208) But the phone direct reboot in TWRP after that.... I wipe everything except vendor and flash gsi throught system but nothing work...
Also I have 8T (Willow) but it should works the same as Ginko... Any helps ?
I'm still waiting to get my ginkgo, but I found this, could it help?

Thanks man. I'm miles away from the scene hence why I'm safe.
Going back, I still can't figure out how to make those GSIs work. I'll ask those on the Telegram group where that link originated from so that I can check whether someone was really able to make it work.
Good idea, I'm checking it too. Just got my RN8, and once I get back home I'll unlock it and give it a try.
Important! On this device run only Arm64 AB gsi rom!!!

Vendor and kernel to flash gsi.
Giving a bump here as I've managed to do this. See OP for info.

GSI on MI10T ?

Hello,
Has anyone tried installing a GSI rom on MI10T?
I'm interested in getting feedback and if it works for you.
Thanks
Tried and failed. Don't know what I did wrong and I'm pretty new to this stuff so don't have that much experience. I'm sure it's possible.
TWRP for this phone doesn't support installing GSI, I bricked my phone because of it
If you tried ab that's probably why you failed - ab has different partition layout than aonly which is this device... Somebody should try aonly gsi and check...
Can you install system gsi? Because there is only a super partition in TWRP.

When new TWRP 3.5.0 gets fixed it will work good because it supports dynamic partitions properly

Yes. If you do fastboot getvar all you won't get boot slot etc which is normal on a/b roms

You seem quite knowledgeable. Is there a chance you will make a gsi flashing guide later on ? Maybe trying out some ROMs like pixel experience or havoc

Hi guys! Any news?

Can I flash Android 11 rom on my Android 10 device?

As the title suggests. I recently bought my 7T and wanted to install XTended but it appearently built on Android 11 while my device is still on 10 (OxygenOS v10.0.15 HD65BA).
Just want to make sure. This will be the first time I attempt to flash a custom ROM and I don't want to mess up because of stuff like this.
Of course

Really?
I just want to make sure because I saw on the post of Ressurection Remix this point and it got me worried
"1. In general, you want to have the SAME version of OOS on both sides. Im not going to go into detail on how to MSM, and flash a full OTA locally, reboot, then flash the same OTA locally again and reboot."
Is this step already covered when installing a Android 11 ROM or is that something I can disregard? Or should I make sure I do that as well?

Well, it first depends if the ROM is using OOS10 or OOS11 blobs. I've seen lots of people install A11 ROMs before OOS11 were even out.
But I'd go into the ROMs telegram group or something and ask just to be safe.

I think One OS is based on Xiaomi.eu but with few added features and changes.
I tried it, and it's very similar to Xiaomi.eu. but I still use Xiaomi eu for faster updates and perhaps more stability(?).

I want to mention I don't use Xiaomi.eu Android 12 yet. I'm still on 21.9.15. I will update when an Android 12 build comes out that starts to be mostly bugfree.

For me One OS is better than xiaomi.eu. A little more costumization, better battery life. For other people is xiaomi.eu the better choice, but for me is one OS.

that flashable zip and others our collected here:

I have not flashed them in TWRP, but may be possible now. I did sideload via twrp successfully a few months ago
