GSI ROMs

I see numerous developers releasing GSI ROMs and was wondering if anyone has had experience flashing any of these on the Pixel 3. I did flash Resurrection Remix on my OnePlus 6T with GSI and it work beautifully but don't want to go through all the trouble with my pixel and end up with having to flash back to stock.

Guess I'll be the test dummy, I'll report back later

Ok it worked, I am now running Resurrection Remix on my Pixel 3 XL, the steps I used were
First Step
Boot to Twrp and you need to flash the avbctdisable.zip
Link- https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Gh...q0gR-SO0t51CVE
2nd Step
flash the factory boot image in fastboot
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Use the STOCK boot image!
Then flash the GSI system image of your choice
ON A/B Partition
fastboot flash system_a gsi.img
fastboot flash system_b gsi.img
STEPS After GSI flashed
1.Boot TWRP thru Fastboot
2.Wipe Data and Dalvic / Art Cache
3.Flash the TWRP installer
4.Reboot to System
5. Reboot To Twrp Flash Gapps
6. Reboot To Twrp Flash Magisk And Optional Custom Kernel
7.Reboot

Wow! Thank you for this. What's working on RR? Any link to other GSI's? Cheers

Edit. Managed to find the correct link, still no info on what it is

Wow!!, never knew about stuff like this as i was on US versions of Samsung devices for a few years . I saw one of my favorite rom in the mix "MIUI" but seems it won't work on AB devices like Pixel 3 XL . These GSI Roms in your links seems only for older devices .

I've just discovered this... What is the difference between a Bootleggers ROM made for Pixel 3 and Bootleggers GSI?
With a Pixel phone I can try every GSI image and expect that everything is working properly?

So I know little here....my understanding from reading about Treble when it came out was it was about helping non-Google type devices get Android (AOSP) faster by separating the vendor HAL and the system. Since we are Pixels, not sure really how this assists us in anyway.....
Since Fuschia is starting out and someone already got a basic boot, not sure how Treble will play going forward.

Hey everything works smoothly but I'm not receiving text messages any idea how to fix that ? I'm on April vendor.

Unable to flash any custom roms.

I unlocked bootloader on 4th day , flashed TWRP tired PE, CrDroid, LOS 16 , PA , AOSP Extended roms but unable to boot any ROM. But can boot miui.eu, and other miui roms. I tried sunnyraj's TWRP 3.2.3, orange fox latest TWRP, PE TWRP, TWRP 3.2.3 Rolex+Riva , and treble enabler of 4-5 verieties , but no ROMs boot. Anybody has flashing guide? I'm not a noob . Not new to Android . I am flashing at least a ROM per day to all my phones. But this phone is a surprise.

Thank you so much. Can I flash treble gsi/sgsi ROMs?

Yes you can but there is no guarantee that the gsi/sgsi will boot or if booted will work properly. Only testing will tell.
Joining telegram group will help.

All that has been reversed, no need to flash those things now and as far as your TWRP is concerned I think it is treble so you can proceed

[Rom] [10] Resurrection Remix

Hey guys. Until the RR dev makes a thread, this will continue to stay in Discussion. I am NOT the dev for RR. So wanted to get the rom more exposure.
Rom: https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix-ten/files/instantnoodlep/
Kernel source: https://github.com/luk1337/android_kernel_oneplus_sm8250
Changelog: https://get.resurrectionremix.com/ten/changelog/Changelog.txt
Be on OOS 10(both slots)(local upgrade last OOS 10 for slot b)
Flash twrp both slots(https://downloads.sourceforge.net/p...=cfhcable&r=https://forum.xda-developers.com/)
Flash rom
Reboot twrp
Wipe userdata(always a must when switching between OOS and custom)
(Optional) install kernel and magisk
Reboot
**UPDATE** this flash instructions work. I use these and ONLY these instructions. If you have a better way, good for you, but if you can't get it to boot, use these.
***UPDATE 2*** if you have installed Android 11 prior to installing this rom, you must msm back to OOS 10 and local upgrade OOS 10 again to slot b and only use Android 10 recovery

Nice one. :good:
Is twrp ok to wipe now? Or would we need stock to do so?
If the latter then may be worth booting twrp and retaining stock recovery to wipe.
Good to see a ROM thread for this.
Excellent.
My thanks to the dev too, it's appreciated.

Why to boot to twrp after flashing the rom?
We can just boot the twrp( not flash it)
Flash rom
Flash magisk ( optional)
Format data
Reboot

It should be mentioned that these builds are blind builds. The Dev doesn't own the device.

Correct but doesn't matter. I tested first few builds before they were released and now alots of people used them. They aren't beta or alpha but stable. So? What's your point?

8pro has a recovery partition. So unless you flash a rom that overwrites twrp with another recovery (stock OOS, etc) then twrp will remain after rom flash

It's simple. If people run into issues or whatever he can't probably fix it. It was the same with treskmod for example.

He is blind building from latest los source that's all. Respect him for doing that, but it's not 100% guarantee for a fully working rom.

This is something that i already know...
Questions are...
1. why to boot to twrp after flashing the rom( useless step)
2. Why to flash twrp on both slots and not inly boot it

1. Is NOT useless. That is for clean flashing which is ALWAYS recommend by every dev. When you dirty flash, it's at your own peril.
And 2. Once again. The OnePlus 8 pro has a recovery partition. So twrp does not get overwritten when you flash a rom. Like on 7 pro, we had to flash twrp after every rom flash. Not needed on 8 pro.

1. I think he meant to say reboot to recovery and not boot the twrp.img.
2. Yes you can boot twrp only. That's what im doing since OP7. But you will need to do this everytime you wanna flash something with twrp.

On your flashing instructions you said. "flash twrp on both slots"
So im asking one more time,... why not just to boot the twrp img on fastboot and flash the rom...
What is this about recovery partition ... everybody knows that the 8 pro has a separate recovery partition
EDIT..Reboot to twrp after flashing the Rom is useless...
I insist. .dont needed

It's in the pic I uploaded. Even the twrp dev said to flash it. So you won't have to fastboot boot anymore. Once you flash it. It's on your phone and won't go away when you reboot recovery

Every phone used to have a boot(kernel) partition, system partition, modem/radio partition, bootloader, userdata, and a few other INCLUDING recovery partition. Recently, the recovery was missing but now it's back. So we no longer have to have to boot twrp but flash it

Hello everyone, I need help installing this rom please, I have the latest TWRP 3.4.0-14-Mauronofrio installed in both slots, latest stable OOS in both slots, I have an IN2025 and for some reason I get this error with TWRP. Thanks in advance guys.

That is strange. I also have 2025. Try moving the rom to phone instead of usb device. Since this is an updated twrp may be an issue. However. I did NOT have OOS installed on both slots. I flashed latest OOS full rom, used OOS recovery to wipe data. Booted and then flashed twrp to both slots, flashed RR, reboot recovery and flashed magisk

question about system partition

So Iam on miui 12 and I want to install lineageos , When Flashing a new custom rom Should I wipe The system partition in twrp or not ? I did some search but didn't get The right answer
Some said Yes you should and the other said no
So can anyone did an install of lineageos give the right answer ? Thanks

You don't have to wipe the system partition. What you should do is doing a factory data reset to remove encryption (this will wipe your userdata partition).
If you do the exact same thing as stated on the official LOS page, that will work. If you want to keep twrp, don't do the fastboot flash boot LOS_recovery.img part but follow the other instructions.
