Develop Bugs

So I decided to try to flash a Generic System Image (GSI)...

aaaaand it booted!
I just flashed Resurrection Remix GSI by phhusson and it works. With EMUI 8 beta you can now flash a treble ROM. Still, this requires further testing so be careful. I'm not responsible for bricked phones. Here are the steps:
1. Make sure your device is on EMUI 8 beta with unlocked bootloader (guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601)
2. Download GSI from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688 and move it to the folder where you installed ADB
Note: Honor 6x doesn't support seamless update so you want the A-only image, not the A/B one. Just in case you don't know already, Honor 6x has arm64 architecture.
3. Open cmd and navigate to your ADB folder
4. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode and type 'fastboot flash system name-of-the-image.img' where name-of-the-image.img is your downloaded GSI.
5. Hit enter and wait for it to finish installing
6. Famous words: "Reboot and pray"
Problems:
1. Since we don't have a treble-compatable TWRP build yet, there is no way to install gapps for now. I will try to find an image that includes them.
2. All the problems present on the actual ROM (check ROM thread)
3. There are likely others. (There always are some)
I'd like it if others tried to flash this and share their experiences here.
Thanks to @phhusson, @vovan1982, @HassanMirza01, Huawei, RR team and everybody else I forgot to mention.

How's the battery life?

I'm flashing AOSP right now. It has gapps preloaded so I'll update when I've tested enough.

Thanks,in the mean time I'm looking for a proper cable to root my phone lol

UPDATE:
I flashed AOSP GSI and it boots normally as well. Has gapps and root as well, but you'll need the og supersu (phh's). Chainfire's su doesn't work. Also, you can't give adb root access via dev options so you cant pull boot image to patch it with magisk right away. I'm also unable to get stock camera to work but will experiment with that in the future. Battery life seems a bit better than on nougat roms but then again I'm running pure AOSP with no major battery consumer app on it for now. That's it for now.

@TheParallelOne
Did you try to use stock camera app from there?

Bro do complete research first. we have fully working twrp. use twrp on elemental Rom. and installation procedure is also completely wrong. first flash twrp from fastboot using command fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY V2.img then check the recovery and reboot to boot loader then flash system image then reboot to recovery do formats data then install gapps then again reboot to boot loader then flash stockrecovery from dot os thread which is also treble rom then reboot to stock recovery do factory reset now device will boot fine.
Also there are some bugs like mtp,battery drain,heating issues on normal usage and slow charging in some rims. I have tried 4 roms and decided go back to elemental Rom. but these treble roms much better than nougat custom roms comparing to them these can be used as daily driver. pure Android 8.1 roms with all latest features.

Can you provide screenshots please

That's great news. TFS bro.

mtp working on some roms and battery drain is not that much compared to emui 8 stock now im gonna try more roms.
Treble roms are much faster and more stable you can't find any bugs. even I was surprised honor 6x can run stock android with this much stability.

Battery drain comparison
on stock emui 5 5% drain for hour while watching movie in mx player no apps running in background all freezed.
on emui 8/treble roms 7-8% while watching movie on mx player but didn't freezed any apps only apps running telegram and whatsapp.
conclusion if u r in emui8 go for treble roms for complete pixel experience

it got volte?

What about the volte and gcam ?

[First time] Need some advices

Hello, i'm coming from Nexus 4, a great phone, so i decided to upgrade to this phone, the Xiaomi 10T Lite, is enought for my purpose.
I want to install a custom rom so i can have full control of apps and what to install/upgrade, but i find the procedure very different from my old N4.
I want to ask if the procedure below is correct to avoid brick my phone since it will arrive at the end of this week.
- First, i need to install the recovery, i always use TWRP, i connect the 10T Lite to my pc using the usb cable, then i press volume down + power to enter the fastboot, once there i back on pc, install google usb drivers from official site to recognize the phone under device manager, then i download TWRP for Mi 10T Lite, then go to adb folder directory (i'm using a protable version) and i flash the recovery with the standard procedure via cmd:
fastboot flash recovery -twrp_x.x.x.x-.img
This is correct?
- Second i need to unroot the phone, i download Magisk 23.0 from the official site:
Releases · topjohnwu/Magisk
The Magic Mask for Android. Contribute to topjohnwu/Magisk development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
then i boot into recovery, then i install the img, is this right?
- Third, i install the rom with the same procedure as point two, in my case i want to use this:
[ROM][11][gauguin] The Baolong24 AOSP Project | Mi 10T Lite / Mi 10i / Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G
Is all the procedure correct and i'm done or i need to install more tools or do more wipes?
I read about LazyFlasher, is this tool needed too or don't matter? For my N4 i use SuperSu to manage root permissions and working great, when a new upgrade of the rom is released i just overwrite the old one from the TWRP flashing the new img and wiping cache.
Thank you and sorry for the redundant questions.

Thank you a lot, i already have adb + fastboot unzipped ina folder, i also have google usb drivers to recognize the phone under windows, i need these tools as a whole too?
You said unlock the bootloader, what command i need to do? Or i can do this after twrp installation via adb command line, or better, i can do this after the rom installation throught Magisk (similar to SuperSu)?
Sorry, i never managed a MIUI device. N4 was a bit different.

Unlock bootloader is mandatory for install Twrp,custom rom etc...(Wait 168 hours)
All tools(drivers,command,etc..) are in platform tools

Thank you for your kind reply, so i need to download this MI App (miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24.zip) and follow the procedure to unlock the phone, and then wait a week or so, then i can proceed to install twrp, rom, magisk, aka everything else.
Dunno why i have to wait a week, a bit odd, anyway, thank you mate, you were a big help.

That's some MIUI policy must wait a week to be able to unlock bootloader. Also when you unlocked it , phone will delete all your data, so save you pictures and everything to pc.
The best thing is to learn ADB command for flashing TWR or OrangeFox.
When you connect your phone in fastboot mode, type :
Fastboot devices - to see if your device is connected properly then
Fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery ,the best is to rename it to twrp.img) press enter - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot boot twrp.img
Then will phone reboot into TWRP.
Prepore on your sd card Rom that you want to flash , magsik ..
First flash ROM, boot it, set all up , then back to recovery and flash magisk.
Did you choose what ROM will you flash?
I use xiaomi EU ROM weekly. Beta version, bur its food. Also oneOS based on xiaomi base.

Thanks for the tips, the command line is the same as Nexus 4 so no problem, i use always cmd commands over precompiled third party kits, i have better control and i know what i'm doing.
For the rom i had Slimrom on my nexus 4, very minimal with basic apps, no playstore or other bloatware, i installed after flashing cutomized gaps based on what i need, prefer performance over quality, what's matter is the full app control and what the OS load, i hate bloatware and useless stuff that i never use, this is why i prefer custom roms instead of the pre-installed os+apps, and lastly is also mandatory the basic dark theme because i hate the white background.
From the roms released here this seems to work good for me:
[ROM][12][gauguin] The Baolong24 AOSP Project | Mi 10T Lite / Mi 10i / Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G

Xiaomi Poco F3? Surely the hardware is good, 870G, but is also more expensive (around 300 eur).
Before this one was looking for the Realme 8 Pro, is a 8+128 (do not care about 5G, 4G is more than enought), is this model good? From the reviews, this phone is very balanced.
In the end point to Xiaomi 10T Lite just because i found it at a 220 eur.

You think i need to wait the price go down? 300 eur is no joke indeed, but for my purpose is better than the 10T Lite?
I mean, i don't care about playing games or download apps from playstore, i used always APK offline apps, for everything else i use the phone just for basic operations, like callings, e-mail, sms, mms, internet (telegram, rumble,etc...), streaming videos, camera to record videos and photos, nothing more, so a goodly hardware is wasted.
Guess a 750G 6+128Gb is more then enought.
My actual Nexus 4 (2+12Gb) still good but it do not support ethernet connection, storage is limited, the battery is very crap and the camera for photos and video is bad too. Time to upgrade after almost a decade.
ps: Choose the 10T Lite over the 11 Lite because 11 Lite have more weak hardware (732G), is more expensive and i can't unlock the bootloader yet.

I use Sakura with Taleswaves Kerenel not rooted , I loved this rom, and just hope that they will work on it , not stop after one or two updates.

Read over there it have many bugs reported, they fixed all of them and is now stable with the last releases?
Regarding the installation of a different kernel, is just the same automatic procedure via twrp (go into recovery, press install and choose the image file), this is correct? Never installed a different kernel before, neither under my N4.
Thank you.

Yes, I just download new version of kernel , put one as card , go to Ofox, I use it instead of twrp and flash. It is on zip file. Also and ROMs it is in zip file. Don't unpack nothing, that's how you download them that's also flash.
I change my ROM for baloong24. Clean AOSP, very fast , very smooth.. amazing. This is the fastest ROM of all..

Sorry to bother, read on Sakura faqs:
FLASHING PROJECT SAKURA​After you have downloaded all the needed files, you can proceed with the flashing process. Boot your device into recovery mode and go to advanced wipe after that wipe dalvik, cache, system, vendor and data.
Once you have wiped, flash the required firmware/ vendor zips and the flashable ROM zip. Then reboot to system and enjoy a clean Android experience.
Note: ProjectSakura provides three types of builds GAPPS, VANILLA and MICROG. You may or maynot need to flash a separate GAPPS package depending on the type of the build; maintainer is releasing.

Following your guide above, once unlock the bootloader and installed twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, vendor and data, i'm a bit lost about installing firmware and vendor zips, you do not mention above about these modules, are these necessary before installing the Sakura Rom?
I found them here:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
On this website there are 3 downloads fro the 10T lite, firmware, vendor and MIUI:
1) Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G/Mi 10T Lite/Mi 10i gauguin stable V12.0.2.0.RJSEUXM 11.0 Europe Download 2021-05-27
2) Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G/Mi 10T Lite/Mi 10i stable V12.0.1.0.QJSEUXM Europe GitHub | SF 1.3 GB 2020-10-0
Need to install these two files (discarding the MIUI) via twrp before or i can flash directly the Sakura rom?
Read here on xda that majority of last custom roms have already inside these two modules when flashing a phone, but i'm confused since the installation guide mention that i need to do this myself.
Thanks.

Can't boot into recovery, ANY recovery rom!

So I've long been had PE (Pixel Experience) installed on my phone and I've never had any issues flashing recovery, not even in the CFW days. But I noticed there was an update to PE last month and decided I should update it. The instructions are clean, you must start fresh (format data, system, dalvik, etc..) so prior to attempting to install PE, first order of business is to get a newer recovery. Simple right? I tried flashing the twrp that was listed in the instrucitons, I tried Orange Fox, which worked only once but hasn't since. So if figured, ok, too many issues, let me start from scratch. I fastboot flashed my phone using the last Miui firmware I had on my phone. Didn't wan't the newer firmware getting in the way with whatever new locks they may have installed. Flashing to factory using fastboot went without a hitch. I first opted to save my data, but that failed at boot, so I did a flash-all.bat and that got me to a pristine factory from Miui 11 Android 9. Enabled USB Debug and Relaxed USB App upload secruity settings and now I should be able to boot into the bootloader and Flash any recovery right? No such luck. Flashed the latest and even a version prior of TWRP and Orange fox and they just don't boot. When I hold the Vol Up + Power it boots showing the Redmi logo and just when it's suppoed to show the splash screen of whatever recovery I'm trying, it simply reboots and I'm sure the miui os already restored the original factory so I try flashing again and no dice. I've flashed and tried to boot probably 50 times by now. Only once did I get a little ray of hope when I flashed Orange fox after doing a clean fastboot rom flash and I simply got 3 menu choices asking to boot to recovery, bootloader ,or system. I of course chose recovery and FAIL it just went black screen and rebooted to system! OK, so frustrated, I went and downloaded the latest firmware from Mi and for sure, whever it has that's preventing booting into recovery for sure will get erased and started from scratch, especially cuz I'm going from Miui11 Android 9 all the way up to Miui 12.5 Android 11 right? After re-enableing the developer setting and adjusting the settings and making sure my computer is authorized on the phone I rebooted to the bootloader, flashed Orange Fox and FAIL! still no joy. WTF?!? This is getting frustrating. What am I doing wrong? What can I do to try and fix this?

OK, your one sentence text is a bit difficult to read but I'll try to explain the best I can (there might be errors).
You can split the custom recoveries into two types. CFW and non-CFW.
You can split the custom ROMs into two types. CFW and non-CFW.
CFW recoveries have to go hand in hand with CFW custom ROMs.
non-CFW recoveries have to go hand in hand with non-CFW custom ROMs.
What about stock MIUI? That depends on the custom recovery. The developer usually states which ROMs the recovery is designed for (if CFW or non-CFW; if stock MIUI 12.0.x or stock MIUI 12.5.x; etc). If you mix a CFW recovery with a non-CFW custom ROM you'll probably have issues.
If you install a compatible recovery for MIUI 12.5.x and simply let MIUI boot into system it erases the custom recovery, which means you have to install the custom recovery again and boot straight into it. That's why some recoveries have extras to prevent its erasure (you'll have to research this).
This video below should contain everything you need.

Way ahead of you my friend. I got off of CFW roms several versions ago. BUT I think I found what the problem may have been. The official TWRP gives instructions to disable AVB via fastboot flashing vbmeta with the following command. fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img. I'm guessing the custom TWRP or Orange fox are supposed to have that command built into it or something cuz they didn't mention it in their instructions to flash the roms. Unfortuately I upgraded to MIUI 12.5 Android 11 and Xaiomi appears to have added some new locks because I'm reading reports from other users that attempting to flash custom recovery roms on MIUI 12.5 is resulting in bootloops. Sigh, just my luck. Stuck until further notice. BTW, once upgraded to 12.5 there's no flashing previous versions either. Exactly what I was originally trying to avoid, but I needed a working phone, so I'm on stock again for the time being.

Thanks! I'll give these a try, but what I was looking for and don't see where exactly to download is that batch file and version of twrp that was show on the video. They launched a batch file and adb waited for the phone and then off it went. I assume that these some extra little steps added to the batch file besides the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" routine? Also, the moded ROM looks intresting from the pling page. Can if just copy the "flash_all.bat" from Miui's fastboot firmware installer and drop it in santosh's moded firmware files list? That would be just way to convenient, but keeping my fingers crossed lol.

The batch and twrp are inside each fastboot zip.
Yeah, don't mix flash_all.bat from a stock MIUI with any custom ROM.

Yes! You are the man! Finally. It took every try too ciz I had even found a BRP Twrp, just one version prior to the link you provied Ver 2.7 and that still failed. Tried it a couple dozen which ways too. But this last one finally did the trick. I noticed they went and hid all the files and left only the batch files to launch. I'm guessing people were trying to use the files the wrong way lol. So one last question, cuz I got TWRP running now on my phone and I'm wondering if it'll still be there if I reboot it? I assume this twrp automatically kills the MIUI recovery restore from attempting to take back the recovery?

I haven't tested either of those recoveries myself but both should survive a MIUI reboot (I've downloaded both recoveries and looking at the files inside they should stay).
The first video I posted covers TWRP for both MIUI 12.0.x and MIUI 12.5.x.

Does this need a12 firmware? If so you should post dtbo and vendor_boot images.

wait for official Update

The boot image isnt working at all, after restarting into recovery mode i end up in bootloader. im on the latest oos 11 (11.2.10.10 BA)
edit:
sadly there are no install instructions on how to flash, found out that oos 12 is needed and the flash files are in the download repo (Image files folder)

A - Reboot to bootloader
fastboot flash dtbo "dtbo.img"
fastboot flash vendor_boot "vendor_boot.img"
fastboot flash boot "boot_img"
B - Fastboot reboot recovery
Perform factory data reset
Apply update from sideload
adb sideload "file name.zip"
C -Reboot system

OnePlus 9 Pro (lemonadep) of Project Elixir has been dropped due to bad behavior of the maintainer.
So no more official support and we recommend not to flash builds which isn't available in OFFICIAL website.

Flashed yesterday without any issues. To get the boot, vendor_boot, and dtbo i used payload extraction. Changelog states CTS to pass by default, however it fails until Zygisk is enabled. Custom FOD icons are not working. Audio & mic (oos12) bug is present. Flashed BluSpark kernel about an 1hr. ago. Without issue.
Overall seems to be very stable with many options! Great Job! LE2125.

Flashed this but was having issues with haptic/vibrate feedback, they're not working.

Fyi BluSpark kernel fixes this

Bluspark doesn't work on LE2120. Already tried this 3x and it f'd up my phone and had to reinstall again.

Absolutely gorgeous ROM! Do I understand that I can flash this coming from OOS12 without the need to downgrade to android 11?
If so, can somebody please explain what changed since the first A12 ROMs were released as they warned against flashing from OOS12 directly.

Yes you flash this over OS12. make sure u have OS12 on both slots(if ur on c48 just download and local update once again to have on both sides). Then u have to download this rom, extract it on ur pc, so u can flash(in fastboot) dtbo, vendor_boot and boot. Then boot to recovery, wipe and adb sideload rom.

blu-spark kernel doesn't work on this rom, tried it. But it seem unfortunately it doesn't work on this rom.

I've tried 4 roms yday and blu spark sometimes make you bootloop or doesn't want to flash which is weird.
After a few rom re-installs it worked on every rom I tried.

Well, I wouldn't have had "bad behavior" if you weren't trying to control what I did with my own Telegram group.

Question Copy partition after msm?

Hi guys,
So I can't for the life of me get a rom installed. Drivers are fine, fastboot commands always ends up booting into the recovery, but it won't read or flash the rom. I've tried crdroid, pixel, nameless. For the hell of it tried lineage over pixel recovery and that installed?!
I've been seeing the odd post/comment about how msm restore only pertains to one boot and you should update twice so both boots are covered? I also see a copy partion zip floating around but is this a12 or a13 or work on both?
For what it's worth I've been able to root it successfully. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Edit: I'm. Coming from a msm restore
Thanks

when I restore my device I tipically run copy partition just after I unlock bootllader
then you know every flash should boot, even flashing twice (on A and B partition) it shod be always safer, since starting condition is the same

Do you run it once or do you run copy partition after each update?

Had trouble at first too. But the copy partitions file is just so that the same firmware is on both slots. If you follow this post for nameless, you shouldn't have any problems. Should be noted that you should be on the latest (c.63-66) and be using the latest dtbo.img, vendor_boot.img, and boot.img files from the links posted in that thread)
