Well, it's fine your did flash Pixel Experience rom on your A52S, but I don't understand what is your contribution in the development and the building of this ROM ???? ^^
If it's a work done by someone else then this thread should not be treated as "Development" but at the best as "How To Guide" since you brought more materials since your first announcement. Naming the dev or the modder would also be welcome...

And recovery is not TWRP, just normal modded with FASTBOOT
Arobase40 said:
Ok but again what this recovery stands for and why it is needed to flash it ?
Then you said : "Step 2. download TWRP APP"
so where do we get this TWRP compatible with A52S 5G (A528B) ??? ^^
I guess there is a misunderstanding somewhere...

So, TWRP App is required that you flash another recovery

If I understand OP correctly, the TWRP app can also flash other images. He uses the TWRP-app as an alternative to flashify or TWRP/CWM/recovery to flash a modded recovery(.img) which enables fastboot.
Thread cleaned!!
For the love of Pete one and all! Is it too much to ask for a little respect and tolerance from and towards each other?
While we always enjoy spirited debate, I still, even after 11 years on XDA, don't understand why discussions must resort to rudeness and name calling when disagreements occur.
So Please, as a simple request, I am asking you all to please keep disagreements relegated to PM's, or take the fight to FB, IG or wherever, so you can impugn each other as much as you want
since this rudeness and disrespect will not be tolerated on XDA as XDA Rule 2.3 clearly states.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated, and expected, as per the Forum Rules. It's just that simple my friends.

when was TWRP made for this phone and has anyone tested it if it works?
Arobase40 said:
For what I understand this TWRP is simply an application from which you could flash another custom bootloader but it can't be use as a stand alone TWRP you can't flash with PC Odin and you can't boot on it to do backup and restore of the whole android system or flash another custom rom. ^^

I think he meant TWRP app where he said TWRP, the app discussed earlier. Currently there's no twrp or other recoveries (besides the one that OP says to flash which supposedly is a modded version of stock recovery that would enable fastboot on this device (going by the posts in this thread, I'm holding off unlocking BL and tripping Knox untill there's actually things available to flash))

Oxygen Os fails to install the OTA when detected root ot any changes to system patrition, thus you have to wait for the full zip and dirty flash over the existing. Fairly simple.
I can still do a nandroid backup and restore stock OxygenOS, correct?

You can clean flash. It is a full zip. I have restricted access to it now as I don't see anyone getting the OTA. So, it might be a mistake build. Lol.

No, you need to flash the stock recovery.img in fastboot first and then you can flash the zip in recovery/flash from local.

At least you have a problem that can be solved I posted a request for the stock recovery.img so maybe will upload it.
lol i guess everyone got excited and just installed TWRP off the bat, now that i have learned to pull .img files, its too late for me since i installed twrp instead of booting up, there has to be someone who had done it, i wonder why no is providing it, its a simple task.

First of all many users are confusing rom with firmware, the whole rom is flashed through fastboot or EDL (although OTA updates could be flashed through recovery) while the firmware is a small set of files that can be flashed through recovery in form of zips.
What I did to boot many GSIs out there? although any of them satisfied due to many bugs comparing with the developed custom roms for Daisy.
- Go to recovery and backup just the boot partition.
- Then format data.
- Then advanced wipe; data, system and cache/ART Dalvik cache.
- Transfer GSI to your device using any convenient method (transferring file or copying to your external SDcard)
- Flash the GSI on System Image partition.
- Restore the boot partition.
- Flash only the firmware zip (version may vary) Never I needed to flash the whole rom.
- Flash DFE.
- Switch to the other slot and reboot.
- If device won´t boot it could be required to flash a proper vendor version through fastboot. Pay attention to the slot that you flashed before to target the same slot if you need to flash this partition.
With this method I could boot to OneUI, Moto, nubia, ZenUI, HydrogenOS and Xperia while I can´t on ZUIOS and didn´t try with FlymeOS

I´m back, the link is to download the whole rom.
Remember the difference between rom and firmware that I mentioned before?.
This is the link for firmwares https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/firmware-updates-daisy-t3975879
Anyway you´ll need sometimes the whole rom and sometimes it´ll be enough flashing just the firmware.

Step 9 and 10, but this guide only works with LR TWRP
https://c.mi.com/thread-2735547-1-0.html
Let's start.
One caveat which I am going to mention before I start all this is:
JavaScript:
I am not responsible for your data or any damage caused by the flash.
I simply help with this contribution.
You will need a couple of files;
ADB & Fastboot and then Platform Tools.
These files are attached to this forum. The mentioned is for the computer, for the cell phone we are going to need;
vbmeta.img, product_gsi.img and the GSI.
vbmeta is extracted from stock ROM, Product will leave it attached and the GSI is your choice.
You have to install adb and fastboot in the root of the system, the steps are in the same file.
By that you have to unzip Platform Tools.
Open a terminal at the folder path.
To flash the gsi execute the following commands >>>
JavaScript:
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot set_active a
fastboot flash product product_gsi.img
fastboot flash system (The GSI).img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
If the GSI doesn't boot just flash stock ROM and try another one.
Done! Those are the steps to flash GSI in caprip.
All this was tested on Stock ROM Android 11.
I don't know if it works on A12.
Any questions I'm on Telegram as "Samw622"
Thanks!

It is not a rom, it is a GSI, (Generic system image), it works on several devices with similar architectures and slots.
And yes... I already tried FluidOS, OctaviOS, ArrowOS and LineageOS. Right now I'm on ArrowOS, I notice it more fluid than Pixel Exp OS. It overheats less when playing a video game.
The same files are always used, the only thing that changes is the GSI.
Thank you very much for your comment.

No friend, it is not necessary, the requirements are: Extract vbmeta.img from your Stock ROM, (From your channel), download the attached files, a compatible gsi and obviously, have the bootloader unlocked.

Ok so i've got 2 questions:

2. how did you find other roms/gsis for this device?

1st, If my friend flashing a Custom GSI/ROM Type: GSI completely erases the storage, and STRICTLY does not skip any command, the terminal may suffer a Hard Brick or a Full Brick.
2nd, You can try to search Github or XDA, Custom GSIs dedicated to A/B and arm64 partitions. Do not try to flash a GSI of Android 11 or lower, the terminal will not boot. I say this from experience.
