Hi,
Has anyone been successful in flashing the Android 10 GSI? Especially if you are using the Chinese RN8. Would like to hear how you've done it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Managed to do it using resources from the Redmi Note 8 Discussions Telegram Channel. Just do a search for it and you'd likely find it.
Currently running PE Android 10 Unofficial. Some bugs but as this is a secondary phone not a big deal to me.
Same question here. I can see in phhusson's Github documentation that Redmi Note 8 is one of the devices which has successfully booted his AOSP GSI and I can't see any indepth guide and discussion on how it can be done here in XDA.
Some do claim that they were able to run it while here I am trying to make it work with no success. Be it AOSP 9 GSI or 10 it just won't work at all. I followed the GSI installation tutorial for the Mi 8 here with the same old results. The Redmi logo just keeps on bootlooping after following all instructions.
If there's anyone who were really able to boot these GSIs to their Ginkgos, do leave a reply here on what worked for you so that we can also give it a try. Much appreciated.
Hey,
I've try to flash GSI (phh-treble 10 V208) But the phone direct reboot in TWRP after that.... I wipe everything except vendor and flash gsi throught system but nothing work...
Also I have 8T (Willow) but it should works the same as Ginko... Any helps ?
I'm still waiting to get my ginkgo, but I found this, could it help?

Thanks man. I'm miles away from the scene hence why I'm safe.
Going back, I still can't figure out how to make those GSIs work. I'll ask those on the Telegram group where that link originated from so that I can check whether someone was really able to make it work.
Good idea, I'm checking it too. Just got my RN8, and once I get back home I'll unlock it and give it a try.
Important! On this device run only Arm64 AB gsi rom!!!

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"

ZoiraP's wondering why we sooo slow lol!
Wow this looks good: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-s9--s9-cross-device-development/rom-t4020939
would we be able to install a non miui rom on this phone?
Sure. But there isn't any out right now. Development has been slow because many reasons including kernel source not being released fully initially and phone being bricked way too easily with test builds. If you're looking to buy the phone with hopes of flashing a custom ROM, go for the Mi 9T Pro instead. If you already have the phone, be patient for a while.
There's hope from POSP dev, he's actually tried hard building a rom for this device despite getting bricked so many times. Still in progress, be patient.

Huh? Why are we hearing about this for the first time?
We need everybody to promote the bricking issue of redmi note 8 pro so that xiaomi will remove the authentication account.it's absurd to keep us blocked from developing. Pleace make posts everywhere you can so people will know the problem. follow the #note8probrick on twitter and express your dissapointment

The N8pro is known to work at the moment after being flashed with that particular ROM, but it really needs to be tested for bugs before it gets promoted as an option.
There are also some other ROMs that derive from PHH's AOSP GSI ROM that could possibly work on the N8pro such as LineageOS 16, Resurrection Remix, and HavocOS
I don't know if theres any News for the mi10t Lite
But is there a TWRP/OrangeFox in the work?
The 10T Lite Forum seems so empty
I love this phone, the only downside seems like no one is developing for it. I think this is due to being only released in Europe and not in india, where most of the devs are from.
I wold love to install customs roms on my device.

Hey guys,
As the title suggests, I'm looking for help in flashing GSI's(Generic System Images). I was looking through the Android developer website for Android 12 today and the 'Get a Generic System Image' tab caught my eye. I was wondering if any of you guys have experience in installing GSI's and could briefly outline the steps needed.
Here's the link of the Android 12 GSI if you're interested.
I guess I should post this is the general questions section but this is the device(Redmi Note 8) I can afford to experiment with at the moment so here I am.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, thanks man. This helps a lot.
Do you guys think it will be possible to support the pen on custom ROMs? How does that work normally, is it some drivers that need to be installed, or would functionality be at a very low level such that with custom ROMs it wouldn't be possible or...?
By custom ROMs I mean Pixel Experience etc, not the Xiaomi EU MIUI crap.
There isnt any custom ROM for this device
The smart pen nor keyboard cover work with Treble GSI ROMs. The smart pen can be paired to a tablet running GSI, but no response from the tablet's display when using the pen. I'm guessing there is something in the MIUI ROMs for this tablet that allow allow the tablet and pen to work together (may be in all MIUI ROMS).
Hi, it's possible
I was wondering the same thing as well...
Really hope good ROMs are coming soon, the software experience is awful rn

No, the pen doesn't work on PE11 GSI or any other GSIs I tried. It's a real shame. Still for me PE11 is much better than MIUI.
