Treble bootloop on G960F - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I'm getting really frustrated hree as I can't flash any android 10 GSI. I either get bootloop, stuck on samsung logo or stuck on restarting on samsung logo.
Flashing different kernels seem to change the above behavior (instead of bootloop I get samsung logo and vice-versa).
I tried everything:
Doing the no-verity thingie...
Flashing stock files then GSI - nothing.
Flashing soldiers oreo kernel - nothing
Flashing endurance kernel - nothing
I can't find a vendor image that's compatible with any GSI on my phone. I also can't find any kernel that's compatible either.
So please, end my misery... if anyone managed to install android 10 GSI on this TREBLE COMPATIBLE DEVICE, please guide me through or provide any useful file (vendor img/kernel) that I might have been missed.
I wrote this because I couldn't find anything that could help... Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I solved the problem with the kind help from phhusson and the guidance from Lanreallenjay (thanks, both of you!), so I'm trying to provide the solution for anyone that might be having the same problem as I had. So here it is:
For PIE GSI: use stock kernel/vendor (anything stock), flash the GSI, then flash Magisk -> it should boot fine now (only tested with phhusson's GSI. I had vibrating restart loops before, I wasn't installing magisk, that was my mistake)
For Android 10 GSI: same as above, but install the modded Magisk from phhusson's git (located @ v200 android 10 gsi post) instead of the normal one .

Hey, thanks for the interest!
I've got the S9 Exynos variant (SM-G960F, Europe), I unlocked the bootloader several days ago.
It's on android 9 right now, I flashed the stock firmware after I've tried everything to get android 10 treble to work and failed.
Current kernel version: 4.9.59-16947752 (stock)
Build number: PPR1.180610.011.G960FXXS7CSJ3
I can flash any rom available besides GSI (I've used lineage OS 16 for a couple of days).
If you need anything else more specific just ask, I don't really know what exactly can help with this situation.
Cheers!

After flashing G960FXXS7CSJ3 November stock firmware I can no longer flash anything.
(can't mount data partition)
When I try downgrading to G960FXXU5CSF2 June firmware Odin fails and the screen says:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 7 BINARY: 5
November G960FXXS7CSJ3 seems to have upgraded the bootloader security, does anyone know a fix?

So from stock you flashed AOSP 10 GSI to system partition then phh's magisk (in TWRP) then it works for you?

Yep, it does. Buuut the rom is not stable at all, I've got random reboots/ crashes when opening settings and such, not usable at all. I'm on ONE UI 2.0 beta now which is much more stable (daily driver stable actually).

Have you tried formatting data with TWRP (to the part when it asks you to write "yes") then flash no-verity?
You should at least be able to flash TWRP. If you can't, just download the proper USB drivers for your device, it might be the culprit.

Phh just hinted it's likely Pie vendor causing panics:
"First you need to flash stock rom. Then install magisk and then this gsi.
Though please note that on Pie vendor, S9 kernel panics and reboot every few minutes, so it is highly unusable."

Camera quality might be fixed with Google cam, if you find a good port.

Not to derail the thread but I just noticed after installing Android 10 beta 2 Treble Info now reports my S9 supports Treble A/B, curious no?

No real experience but A\B devices have two slots ie double the partitions (OnePlus has 67) .
This allows updates to be installed while running from slot A while the updated system is copied to B.
Apparently Q requires A\B so now we're on Q may as well try that next time we're curious
Phh just released:
AOSP 10.0 v208
Fix suspend/dt2w for Samsung Q vendor
Fix backlight for Samsung Q vendor
Samsung Q's fine, love gestures but the bloat is killing me.
You can tell Q's going to be so much leaner without bixby & friends.
Glad we installed it to get compatible but I think now we probably stand a better chance with 10 GSI's, hopefully LOS17 & Pixel Experience get updated again soon.
Wondering whether to following the rooting instructions yet?
Phh did say "flash stock rom then magisk and then gsi"

is themes apps working for you? flashing emui 8 via huru will give incomplete flash.
This was possible for the US variant ( L24) since July. It was mentioned couple times before. I think using hwota is a cleaner way of upgrading.
How do you do it?, Where is the links of the files?
thanks for responses, i updated the op and hopefully that is a bit more informative.
let me know if it is confusing at all and ill try to fix it
Can i flash p gsi.? (havoc 2.0)
And.. Is volte working..?
If I am not wrong I think volte will not work on any custom roms except for a stock based custom room because Huawei hasn't released source for it. Dunno I could be wronf

It's not a custom rom... It's gsi
anyone tested other gsi? i only tried open kirin roms
are you sure it didn't rebranded? at about information, it say bln-24 or bln-al20? it could brick the phone, I thinks is better using the emui 8 from india instead the china version
hey guys, any A ONLY GSI ROM should work. i used treble resurrection remix NOT openkirin as the op states.
and i DID NOT rebrand, it states in rom info i am BLN-L24 -thats usa ver.

Searching for "hwota7" gives you this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601
In short, all you have to do is put the oreo firmware files (L22 version, not the Chinese version) in the update folder and run the batch script. Choose L24 region during the process and you're done. I've done this at least couple dozen times as I frequently test out all treble ROMs as they're released/updated, and sometimes go back to nougat in case I find something that's not compatible with oreo. But all in all, this oreo ROM is very stable and is my daily driver.

During your testing, which ROM has been the most stable in terms of daily-driver use so far? Last year after getting this 6x I tried a few different ROMS, back before OpenKirin happened, and had nothing but problems with boot loops and etc so I went back to stock EMUI5. Few days ago I got B365 and then B376 via OTA after installing the Huawei software on my PC. This phone really makes me miss my S5 with LineageOS.

i need help!!!

Greetings developers, someone of you can help me with the following problem, I can not install the rom AOSP the TWRP does not mark me any problem simply installs but when starting it restarts constantly without going through the restart, like the rom AOEX rom Validus, however I can install the rom Xperience, DotOs, RRemix and the Stock without any problem, you know why that happens, my device is a Moto Z Play XT1635-02.

do a backup of your files (if you are installing xpe you need a Treble supported TWRP) in xpe 13 maybe you need to do a format data (idk why but some users have a weird bug and only can be fixed if you do a format data
so do a format data from TWRP wipe-->format data-> write yes do a swipe reboot to recovery
copy all your files the rom , install it and enjoy!
if you are installing AOSP you should use twrp from alberto

f8132. The patch for dual sim does not work. in single SIM card mode - it doesn’t work with all operators, I live in Kazakhstan - the beeline and the asset work without problems, Altel and Body 2 do not work. Wi-Fi also turns off after 10 minutes of use. is there any way to solve the communication problem? I liked everything, but for work I need two sims - Beeline and Altel. And it’s not convenient to carry two phones with you.
DAC doesn't work
what is the difference between v1 and v2?
OTG does not work
Cannot get this to work. Installing latest Oreo stock rom via flashtool. Booting it once. Then I put the device into fastboot mode, flashing everything exactly as described. I have tried several GSIs (PixelExperience, Lineage, HavocOS 3.1). Of course arm64 AB. When I reboot, I always end in a boot loop after the boot logo. When I boot into TWRP recovery, I see error messages like "cannot mount /data and unable to find crypto footer. Failed to mount /data…" and so on. But formatting /data in TWRP does not help: When I reboot afterwards it is just the same. Boot logo, reboot, boot logo, reboot.... forever.
Am I missing something? Do I have to disable encryption or soemthing like that? Thanks for any hints.

Cannot get this to work. Installing latest Oreo stock rom via flashtool. Booting it once. Then I put the device into fastboot mode, flashing everything exactly as described. I have tried several GSIs (PixelExperience, Lineage, HavocOS 3.1). Of course arm64 AB. When I reboot, I always end in a boot loop after the boot logo. When I boot into TWRP recovery, I see error messages like "cannot mount /data and unable to find crypto footer. Failed to mount /data…" and so on. But formatting /data in TWRP does not help: When I reboot afterwards it is just the same. Boot logo, reboot, boot logo, reboot.... forever.

After flashing stock and booting it once. Make sure to wipe everything except internal storage and SD and then flash the files. Also, have you tried flashing trough a PC?

Okay, I now also wiped everything *before* flashing the treble Images. But the result is the same. I flash via PC and the current version of fastboot. I have also tried now version 1.96 of the treble Images (tried 2 before) with no luck. Anyway, thanks for the advice.

Ramdisk FW for SHT-W09 9.1.0.335 (8.4" UK)

I don't know if anyone else uses this device anymore, but worth a shot! I've lost root on my UK MediaPad M5 SHT-W09 9.1.0.335 (C432E3R1P2).
I'm trying to get hold of the full FW download so that I can re-patch the ramdisk with Magisk. I can't find it anywhere, though, not even through Hawawei Firmare Finder - the latest SHT-W09 FW from there is 9.0.1.160, all later ones are SHT-LGRP2. Even then, the best matches for a FullOTA are 9.1.0.333 and 9.1.0.336 (only OTA for 335).
Is it "safe" to use the ramdisk image from what's on Firmware Finder? 333 or 336?
Or do I need to get hold of the 335 FullOTA for SHT-W09?
Thank you!
Needed too..
You can scan the huawei firmwares by yourself to get the exhaustive list. With something similar to :
Huawei firmware scanner
I ran a scan for you it should be finished in a few hours. You will be able to access it in the cameron.html link in this this thread (the data will auto-update once the server will be done) :

I see the FULL package for all of those versions via Firmware Finder. SHT-W09. Mind you, they changed the naming convention for this model's firmware.

Hi - Could you clarify this, please ?
I can see SHT-LGRP2-OVS and SHT-LGRP3-OVS versions of 9.1.0.335.
Are either/both of these compatible with SHT-W09 ?
Could you flash the full firmware rather than just the ramdisk ?
What about local variants (eg. C432 etc.) ?
Thank you.

Which firmware/ramdisk did you use ?
Thank you.
Just pick the SHT-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.335 (approved + full).
For magisk only flash the patched recovery_ramdisk (or stock to get back).
Also the system.img is useful to get back to stock from e.g. phhusson's GSIs Android 11 which is great BTW.
Stupid question, I lost root recently on my M5 and am trying to get it back. I have a US M5 so I'm still on Android 8.0.
When flashing the patched ramdisk image do you use the command "fastboot flash ramdisk Magisk_patched.img" or "Fastboot flash boot Magisk_patched.img".
Thanks,
Rick

Both Android 10 and 11 GSIs work well for me. Some of the 11 ones are getting too large for the M5's system partition, although this can usually be overcome by deleting unneccessary VNDK files from the image.

I use Android 10 (HavocOS 3.12) for daily use - everything works fine.
Magisk works and it passes SafetyNet with the 'Universal SafetyNet Fix' module.
I tried phhusson's Phh-Treble 11 for a couple of days and everything seemed OK, but I'm waiting for it to come out of 'pre-release' before moving off HavocOS 3.12; the latest 11-based builds of that are far too large, even after removing redundant VNDKs.
It is worth noting that I have a WiFi-only M5 (SHT-W09) and so can't comment on whether the telephony parts of Android 10 or 11 work correctly.

Android 12 Beta 5 GSI on Lenovo P2 ?

Did someone succeed in installing Android 12 Beta 5 GSI on his Lenovo P2 (Kuntao) ?
I was just curious to install it in order to test it and see what's new.
I tried every method I found but each time my phone goes into boot loop when rebooting after having flashed the GSI.
u using which vendor?

I tried with vendor installed (Android 11) :
coming from lineage-18.1-20210919-nightly-kuntao-signed.zip,
then the one coming from Havoc-OS-v4.8-20210821-kuntao-Unofficial.zip,
then the one coming from dotOS-R-v5.1.3-kuntao-UNOFFICIAL-20210825-0359.zip.
I think i must make a mistake somewhere.
I also tried installing an Android 11 GSI with the same result as for Android 12.
As the Lenovo P2 doesn't have a vbmeta partition I edited the boot.img in order to disable Android Verified Boot (AVB).

I tried yesterday by using your versions of vendor but I got same result : my phone refuses to boot.
I will then wait till the first GSI after the official release of Android 12 or till someone proposes a custom rom based on Android 12.
Bump!
