https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688
This guide is for people coming from emui. If your already on treble see my guide on next thread to switch between different system images without losing data.
I got this Resurrection Remix up and running with gapps and magisk. Copy RR img, gapps and magisk to sdcard or OTG. Because this TWRP you won't be able to use internal storage. YOUR BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED AND BE ON OREO UPDATE.
Download open gapps I use arm64 Android 8.1 micro gapps https://opengapps.org
Download Magisk 16.4
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YftvNNZVruyYgtFE5wFsgLTDDb4Yux5W/view?usp=drivesdk
Need to have this twrp installed. Here --https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZYo7Ndte3vlLcUSadD6jIgfBi1oxa0Pb/view?usp=drivesdk put twrp in adb folder
In adb in fastboot mode "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk
complete_twrp_ramdisk.img"
After flash hold POWER VOLUME UP AND VOLUME DOWN IF YOU HAVE USB CONNECTED. OR JUST VOLUME UP PLUS POWER IF YOU DISCONNECT USB. TO REBOOT TO TWRP.
In TWRP select advanced wipe and wipe everything but sd card. Go to wipe again and select format data type yes. In TWRP hit reboot, reboot to recovery. Once back in recovery touch install. On bottom right select install image. Now find system-64-aonly img and select it. It will ask you where you want to install it, scroll down and select system image. Should take about a minute to install. Now reboot to system. After your in system reboot to twrp and flash gapps. After that select wipe format data. Reboot back to system and setup Google play services. Finally flash magisk for root in TWRP. ITS IMPORTANT TO INSTALL IN THIS ORDER OR YOU WILL END UP HAVING ISSUES WITH PLAY STORE AND INSTALLING APPS.
People that are getting uncertified play services error here is the APk to get your Google services device id. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YjNZuS3RfSrQ7DnmzOZMH74I63fmHGwN/view?usp=drivesdk
Once you get your id go here and copy it in.

IT HAS EDGE GESTURES ????

I updated the installation flashing instructions on 6/2 added how to switch between different treble GSI system images. Below -------V
BUGS?
VOLTE NOT WORKING
THEME IN RR CONFIGURATION SETTINGS DOESNT WORK.
ANYONE ELSE NOTICE ANY BUGS LET ME KNOW SO I CAN ADD TO BUGS LIST.
Here's the Generic System Image List
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
Thought I would make a guide for people who would like to test different treble GSI. So if you already on treble and would like to try a different one. This guides for you. Backup all your apps in titanium backup you can save them to internal storage. Copy system.img to SD card or usb to otg.
Download these gapps and copy to SD card to. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jz9gFWTUqKWr2y4X6FXIt5wQbR1-TrFH/view?usp=drivesdk
The reason using these gapps is because normal open gapps are to large and you will get an error in twrp saying not enough system storage available.
Boot to twrp and go to advanced wipe and wipe system data cache and dalvik. Don't wipe internal or SD card. Than flash system.img. Boot to system. Boot back to twrp and flash gapps. Go to advanced wipe and wipe data. Reboot to system. That's it, now you can test different treble gsi. Good luck.
Currently not booting GSI'S are DU and AEX.

This install process works with the other treble ROMs too for anyone interested.

Has anyone successfully gone from a Treble based ROM (AOSP, LOS, RR, ECT) back to a fully working stock? These 1 off pages are great for information on flashing, but if we could create a generalized WIKI or something, that would be very helpful for everyone.

Either restore a twrp backup or flash the stock system image.

Great but if you just want rr without root you can use fastboot flash
BTW I prefer the custom build here bcs it has huawei camera app built in but the ROM not update for some time

You need to do flash system.img boot to system. Boot back to TWRP flash gapps. Factory data reset. And than boot to system. Pain in the ass I'm on AOSIP now. Took me forever to figure it out. After reboot apps weren't opening. Just keep trying clean install.

Thanks, I also ended up flashing AOSP vanilla and pico gapps and no issues with play store. Now if I could figure out how to make a proper back up I can use in TWRP.

I know the p10 lite TWRP will let you backup data and system. But I've had some trouble booting into the p10 lite TWRP. Maybe need to install via fastboot I'm not sure. But I have a backup of system data kernel and boot made with p10 TWRP for stock emui that works perfect.

Yeah but magisk or something causing issues. I've gotten it through fastboot on emui in the past.

[ROM-sGSI] [ZUI 10.0]/[ZUI 5.0] From Z5 FOR Z2 Plus [Oreo]

What is this?
- sGSI of ZUI 10.0/ 5.0 from Lenovo Z5pro/Z5, based on Android 8.1.0, June 1,2018 security patch.
Since this was requested in some comments, I flashed it and found working for our device flawlessly, with some bugs.
Features?
-All features of ZUI 4 + Soft Charge, gestures, multi space ( dual apps ) etc. Split Screen is also available.
How to flash?
ZUI 10 :
1. Download the flashable zip from the links.
2. Boot to twrp, and wipe dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor.
3. Flash the zip.
4. Reboot.
ZUI 5:
Method 1 : (Recommended)
- 1. Download any treble based 8.1.x rom and ZUI5.0-sGSI.zip (link below).
[Please use MIUI 10 8.11.1 by Narshi Shukla as base ROM, as it seems it's Vendor is most compatible.]
2. Extract the zip in your storage. You will get three files ( two flashable zips and one folder "sGSI.....". [Folder name might differ, there will be only one folder, so no worries])
3. Boot into recovery and take a backup.
4. Clean flash treble based Oreo ROM that you downloaded.
5. From your twrp, use file manager to move " sGSI...." folder to backup folder of Twrp.
6. Mount system and vendor and wipe cache/delvik, data and system.
( Don't wipe firmware and Vendor )
7. Goto restore in your twrp and restore the system from "sGSI....." folder.
8. Flash the remaining two zips.
9. Flash magisk if needed.
10. Wipe cache/delvik and reboot. Done.
Method 2 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78389810&postcount=320
(You need treble based twrp, search if you don't already have).
After following all these steps, if your phone is stuck in Lenovo powered by android screen for long, then force reboot the phone and it will boot up to system.
What works?
-Here:
Call,SMS, VOLTE, Data, play store, Utouch, Fingerprint , Navigation, Double touch to wake, GCAM, Face Unlock, Hotspot, Banking apps, nearly everything.
What doesn't work?
- ROM specific. Bugs depend upon the treble ROM that you used as base. In some ROM, system sounds does not work. In MiUI 10, video recording might not work. Game Mode has some issues with global apps.
*FOR VIDEO RECORDING - see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78219358&postcount=93 ****
*Update GPU drivers for VULKAN support. Link in the links section.***
Performance?
- Better than ZUI 4, smooth as butter, no stutter playing games like PUBG, notifications on time, decent SOT.
Can it be used as daily driver?
- Yes, if you can live with some Chinese texts in certain apps.
Any other thing?
- Because the ROM is ported from Z5 which has a notch, total area of the notification bar cannot be used. To see things like real time network speed and battery "percentage" you have to pull down the notification bar.
What should I do first after booting the device?
- Install play store from App center. Install magisk to remove bloat wares. Install any music app, since there is none. This will make the system optimal for us.
Also, Turn "True Full Screen Mode" ON in display settings for full screen in Apps.
Install Magisk and download and install "SafteyPatch V2" within Magisk to pass safetynet and hide banking apps in magisk hide to use them.
Open security app and give all important permissions to the apps you use, including system apps. Also include them in autorun/whitelist section.

******************************** FLASHING ISSUE ******************
While flashing this ROM, try to follow the guide above as strictly as possible. Use the ROM that is recommended.
If you are facing bootloop, download the vendor that is provided and restore it in twrp and then flash patch 1 and 2.
Also remember, during each and every step, your TWRP should have system and Vendor mounted. Check after every step.
Your phone might reboot once or twice during first boot, which is not an issue.
How to know if you flashed it correctly?
-If your phone boots into the system with "Lenovo bootanimation" , you flashed it correctly.
If your phone is stuck in "Lenovo - powered by android" splash image for more than 5 minutes, you got something wrong.

what about gcam nd notification bug? and one more doubt, can we flash it over treble pie ROM?

GCAM is working.
Notification bug is not there. Only sometimes, it seems that we get late notification.
You have to flash it over Oreo because the GSI is Oreo based. Flashing over pie should work as well, since treble ROM is required. Take a backup of your system so you can restore easily, if you face any issue.

Custom kernel flashable?

Haven't tested, but should be flashable.
Edit : Custom kernel might brick the device. Will test and update.
Donot flash custom kernel, it causes self restart of device.
Note: Moxie kernels can be flashed, you should flash patch2 after flashing kernels. But, MIUI 10 comes with moxie R5.1 so no use flashing Moxie again.

Wow it's so beautiful!

I used Arrow OS 8.1 but it got stuck in bootloop and does'nt boot at all.. I followed all the steps accordingly but it did not boot up even after i kept my phone overnight to let it boot. I don't know where i did wrong.

Use MIUI 10 port of Narshi Shukla latest build. It works.
May be Arrow OS cannot be used.
You can also try using Vendor of MIUI 10 once. Restore this vendor and the system image of ZUI.
Here is the vendor:

I think only MIUI 10 rom works flawlessly for this GSI. I will update the main page details and ask to use MIUI 10 only.
You couldnot flash patch 2 because it requires vendor, and may be your vendor is now messed up.
So use MIUI 10 port, it works without any issue.

So in whatever rom I am in Oreo , I can use that firmware if I use vendor only from your backup? And shouldn't wipe it?

Well, that's how some people got this working, so yes, it's working that way as well. ( Your ROM should be treble based though )
I will attach the "Vendor" file in the main post as well, so other members can use it too.

[GSI] Installing Android 10 ROMs on Platina

Okay I still haven't gotten camera working, but here are the steps to install any Android 10 GSI.
1. Flash MIUI 10.3.2.0 (or below).
2. Wipe everything except vendor (and internal BUT wipe data)
3. Install any Android 10 image
4. Mount vendor and delete the following files:
/vendor/lib/libcutils.so
/vendor/lib64/libcutils.so
4. Make sure you flash Acrux v4 (the latest in my Telegram channel, @acruxci)
5. Flash permissiver (v4!) and a dm-verity/force enc disabler (you can find these on Google)
6. Flash Android Q zygote fix
Magisk can be flashed but at your own risk!
The last bug is camera - can people please experiment and get back to me on if you found a fix.
Flash magisk at your own risk!

Great info! Thanks nysadev.

@nysadev Do you have a suggestion for the right recovery to use? What do you use?
I use TWRP, but there is only an unofficial version, that is really buggy and gives me a lot of errors. I am able to install custom roms with it, but I don't want to risk a gsi rom. I really want to experiment with the new gsi

I have a small problem. After installing, when it reaches the home screen and the launcher icons are visible and then it restarts.
After rebooting and it stays in boot logo.
I use Acrux-Stable-r2-Sky because the r4 version doesn't install me.
Thank you.

Status of TWRP with Android 10 on Mi 9T

Hey
So my bootloader unlock wait time is coming up tomorrow, but this forum is not giving me much hope as all I can see is problems with TWRP constantly being replaced with the stock recovery and general incompatibility (recovery loops or bootloader loops), no one seems to know which of the 10,000 versions of TWRP and OrangeFox (????) recovery to use.
Can anyone clarify what the situation is with Xiaomi Mi 9T or is this phone doomed and its just worth throwing on eBay (a phone without custom recovery and root is absolutely worthless to me).
Thanks a plenty!

Hi!
"TWRP constantly being replaced with the stock recovery"
=> That's nothing to do about Android version: It's a Xiaomi/MIUI boot protection feature. Some TWRP flash a modified VBMeta image, at first TWRP boot, to disable this protection.
- What you can do:
1) Download latest OrangeFox and put ZIP file in phone storage
2) Download latest Official TWRP, flash it via fastboot then hold "Power" and "Vol+" buttons (both) until TWRP is booted
3) Select OrangeFox ZIP file in TWRP and flash it (phone will automatically restart to OrangeFox Recovery).
4) Done! You can now flash latest Magisk version. ^^

You normally don't need to flash VBMeta file.
- Official TWRP => https://dl.twrp.me/davinci/
- Latest OrangeFox (actually "R10.1_1" because "R10.1_2" is a broken version) => https://files.orangefox.tech/OrangeFox-Stable/davinci/
EDIT: Flash "R10.1_1" version over bad "R10.1_2" version if you already downloaded/flashed via my previous MEGA link.

Sorry but this is not teally true - or maybe it's the case for custom roms and/or custom twrps
Using (not alone, you can find several peopke reporting the same):
-QFJEUXM 11m0.4.0 (Global, Stable,v Android 10)
-Official TWRP 3.3.1-0-davinci
Just flash that twrp through fastboot, do not wipe or fornat anything (vbmeta, internal storage, whatever), you will not loose anything and everything will work
And the same holds if twrp is replaced by orangefox (since recently, using R10.1_2)
Eg, when booting to twrp, you will enter your pin/password you use in system for unlocking the screen - and twrp will recognize and work with your encrypted Internal memory (so again, without formatting data, wiping vbmeta or whatever)
However, if you want to use some custom roms whose installation requires to format or wipe something, and/ot to use some custom twrps, that's another story (but not a problem in miui or in the official twrp)

1. Bootloader Unlocked Device
2. OrangeFox
3. Stable OZIP (Android 10 | realmeUI 1.0 | C35)
4. Beta ZIP (Android 11 | realmeUI 2.0 | F06)
5. Unofficial OrangeFox beta build (For realmeUI 2.0 A11 FW only)
6. realmeUI 2.0 stock recovery
7. A11 VBMETA
8. Patched VBMETA
PROCESS TO FLASH:
1. Just to be on safer side we are going to make sure everything is stock & all partitions are unmodified. So reflash latest Stable OZIP (C35) via OrangeFox.
2. Format data & reboot to System (This is optional but better to do it, we never know what might happen with realme device)
3. Reboot back to Bootloader if realmeUI 1.0 boots fine
4. Flash OrangeFox build which you used previously & also flash patched vbmeta (fastboot flash vbmeta patched_vbmeta.img)otherwise you get "Boot is destroyed........"
5. Boot into custom recovery & copy downloaded Beta ZIP
6. Flash the Beta ZIP & format data.
7. Reboot to System. realmeUI 2.0 should boot now.
COMMON ISSUES & FIXES:
1. Device stuck at white realme splash logo
Sol. Few people reported it booted when they flashed patched vbmeta so you can first try that. If doesn't work then you can flash A11 vbmeta (fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img) attached here & reboot to system
2. Device stuck at Yellow realme boot animation
Sol. If it's stuck for more than 2-3mins then reboot to bootloader & format data by executing fastboot erase userdata ., never do fastboot -w it's messing up data partition in A11 due to new changes introduced by realme
3. Stuck in bootloader (fastboot)
Sol. Flash the unofficial OrangeFox rescue build & boot into it, copy C35 OZIP to internal storage. Flash it & format data. Reboot to System. Wait for public realmeUI 2.0 release.
4. Unofficial OrangeFox beta build stuck at Ofox splash & display keeps blinking
Sol. This happens because Ofox can't decrypt realmeUI 2.0 data, only way to boot this ofox build properly is by formatting data, reboot back to bootloader. fastboot erase userdata
5. Device doesn't have realmeUI 2.0 Stock Recovery
Sol. Flash the attached stock recovery

Congrats! Will try now
EDIT: Works fine but just 2 hints.
1: Don't Use TWPR 3.5.0_9 or you will get Zip Treble Error
2: After you flash RUI 2.0 it's a MUST flash A11 VBMETA

Right will update guide, thank you

What does the check look like that prevents the stock recovery from accepting to flash the beta build (if you try to upgrade from C.35)?

Stock recovery only accepts signed OZIP/ZIP like the ones uploaded in their website, OTA updates we receive are signed with different certificate that's why installing those custom OZIPs fail if we do it manually.

It can't install on TWRP 3.4.0.0 -> Error this package is for RMX1931L1, this is a ""

edited guide, use ofox only. TWRP doesn't seem to work for everyone.

Hi, first thanks for the post.
I would like to ask you if there is a way to revert back to c35 after?
Thank you in advance

Thank you. I wonder how the software update works then? How does the software update "app" manage to flash those builds then?

Well there are two ways, we can use stock recovery to downgrade from beta builds to C34
Another way would be to flash unofficial Ofox build, copy C34 OZIP to internal storage & flash it.

OTA updater app is verifying the update & rebooting to stock recovery, so if we can figure out the same way we can install custom ozips via stock recovery too

How would you recommend to bring over apps & their settings to A11? After formatting data they'll be lost. Which backup method is able to restore them? Have you rooted it already?

Magisk?
Cool ! It works fine thank you.
but I noticed that the "Unofficial OrangeFox beta build" cant mount internal storage issue with following error : "could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer"
So is there another way to Root my device without wiping data?

Hi
First Thank you for this post .
I want to restore a stock recovery UI 1.0 now i am using orangefox recovery on C.34
can i restore without format data or waiting UI 2.0 stable ??
Many Thanks

Hi,
I've followed the steps and no errors. After reboot, the system stucks at Realme white logo. How it's said on common issues, i've flashed then A11 vbmeta, and the same. Ive waited about 10minutes and it keeps there. I've tried flash the Ofox recovery again to repeat the process but now I can't get Ofox working. I can access fastboot and if I try reboot to recovery, it symply reboots to bootloader... What should I do? I also tried all the options in common issues but without success...
Thanks
