Stuck on Mi-Logo after GSI installation

Hey guys,
I have recently bought my "Whyred" (4/64 global) and have already unlocked the bootloader.
After switching to Miui 10 global developer rom (with official MiFlash Tool) I wanted to test some custom roms. Therefore I have enabled the developer options, USB-Debugging and OEM Unlock. After this I have booted TWRP 3.2.2.0 with fastboot and flashed the TWRP image to the phone via the booted recovery. Followed by the no-verity-opt-zip (6.0) and Magisk v16.7 to root the phone.
On this basis I went back to the recovery and did a factory reset, followed by an advanced wipe of dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor. Afterwards I have moved the whyred-treble-vendor (zip-file) and the PixelExperience GSI to my phone. First I have flashed the vendor-zip and then switched to image and flashed the GSI as system-image.
And now comes the problem: when I try to reboot to the system it always states "No Os installed". By wiping the cache and data again, I am able to boot to the system, but the phone is stucked on the Mi-Logo
After recovering my phone with the MiFlash Tool (Miui 10 global developer rom), I have tried to flash the GSI in different ways according to a lot of guides I have found in the net, but nothing is working. All methods are leading to the same result: my phone stucks on Mi-Logo
Could anyone of you give me a hint about what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!
Best regards,
nkl

At a guess with wiping system and data. Your also removing changes done by "no-verity-opt-zip (6.0)", and since your still using the MIUI Bootloader the device won't boot the associated GSI.
Maybe try flashing/booting a Treble enabled custom rom, first and then install your GSI. Or avoid the whole Treble thing and just use a custom rom.
You may get more assistance in Treble specific threads/forums.

Hey,
Thank you for your quick reaction!
But did I get something wrong? Doing a factory reset and then doing an advanced wipe of dalvik, cache, data, system and vendor is more or less an essential part of all the guides out there?
So you think, I should try to flash for example LineageOS first and then take an approach on the GSI? And which steps should I take? Should I flash no-verity-opt and Magisk under Miui 10 global dev first and then flash custom, i.e. LineageOS? Or should I flash LineageOS first (on a fresh Miui dev rom) and then no-verity-opt and Magisk?
Thanks!

@nkl0806 After installing the GSI while using MIUI as the base you could try flashing no-verity-opt before trying to boot.
no-verity-opt is only required on MIUI based roms (or in your case with a GSI).
Flash a custom rom and boot it. Don't worry about magisk etc.
Then install your GSI and boot it, avoid flashing magisk or gapps.
Once it boots, go back and install magisk and gapps etc and wipe data.
Hopefully then boot and setup your GSI rom.
Also make sure your using a Treble enabled TWRP!
Noob guide to install GSI on whyred
Again look for support in Treble Threads/Forums, I haven't experiment with it, so only going by what I have read.

Thank you!
I have also followed this noob guide to flash the GSI, but it did not work out. Maybe I should really skip the Treble stuff and just use the normal custom rom!
I will try to flash the PixelExperience rom and not the GSI - or maybe follow another Guide and flash the Mokee rom first as a base for the GSI.
Thanks again!

Can you explain what the Android GSI is and where it gets flashed to? What OOS version were you on before you flashed the AGSI?

Android GSI stands for Generic System Image and its a system image that can be installed on treble supported devices such as OnePlus 5T I installed it to get Pie for my phone...this was before Pie for OnePlus 5T was released and I had OOS 5.1.6 before I installed Android GSI

Does the unbricking tool include a system image?

I'm going to guess that you might need a stock system image to flash. If you made a backup of one in TWRP before flashing the AGSI then you can just flash that. Otherwise you can see if the unbricking tool works. There's an all-in-one till tool for the 5T but it didn't look like it has a factory image. Worst case I can extract one for you (I would clean flash a ROM and extract the image since my current one has Magisk injected). Just let me know if the other fixes don't work.

Unable to flash any custom 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 .

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

[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.

We can just boot the twrp( not flash it)

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.

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.

EDIT..Reboot to twrp after flashing the Rom is useless...

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.
