Hey guys,
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I can't get any treble rom to work. I have four scenarios:
1. Rom don't get over Sony logo.
2. Rom don't get over bootlogo of the rom.
3. Rom boots (Descendant, Havoc), but I have no Wifi (Mac 02:00:00...)
4. Only roms by MartinX work, but fingerprint sensor is really Bad.
What can I do? What is the correct sequence of flashing the different images? Why and when do I need them?
Hope someone can help. I am on firmware 52.0.A.11.32
I was able to use GSI rom's by following the guide here in first post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz2/how-to/gsi-roms-installation-guide-t3914603
I attached a pic (last one is RR) with the rom's i booted successfully. But it was some time ago, when i did that, so i can't say something about the current GSI's.
Thank you for your answer!
Btw I tried a few hours yesterday but I did not had any success.
Like i said, i have not tried current GSI's.
Maybe they have to be permissive to boot...?
Hi @JimmyTheFirst, did you manage to boot any GSI/Treble system on XZ2C? I try to flash RR but I get the same problems as you.
I managed to boot Havoc 2.6. All above don't work for me. Descendant and Pixel Experience also works, but nö ViperOs Or RR.
In this moment I'm waiting for a new update of Pixel Experience, but I think it could take some weeks.

There are unfortunately no ROMs specifically for this device yet, but has anyone tried to use a generic treble ROM on this device?
Thanks in advance
I have tried several treble ROMs, the majority don't even boot. Lineage os worked but was buggy. The more stable one was Havoc, if I remember correctly.
I was interested in the Q developer ROM but it didn't work. I'm back to the stock pie Rom, since there is no Netflix HD support on those treble roms.

Hi Mate, I've been trying to flash a working GSI rom but had no success so far(have an SM-T830). In the past have built ROMs for Tab A 10.1 and flashed them many times with TWRP and Odin so I just cannot understand am I retarded to not being able to flash a working one or what? Have managed to put TWRP 3.3.0.0 and TWRP 3.3.0.1 on the device. Have tried my own arm64_aonly image first. Then an original AOSP one, then a Lineage OS version, at the moment I am just downloading Havoc. The result (apart from the havoc) was always the same. The flashing went through successfully and when I rebooted into system the very fist image came up and boot looped from there. I am always able to go back to TWRP and try another image or through odin can restore the factory image but none of the GSI images seem to be working. So, here is my question. As you managed to get a Lineage and Havoc working, can you tell by looking at it what am I doing wrong please:
1.: OEM unlock
2.: TWRP install with odin
3.: Boot straight into TWRP to prevent being overwritten
4.: TWRP: format data
5.: Flash system image (arm64_aonly)
From here have tried so many things like,
- booting straight into system
- booting back to recovery
- flashing the force_decryptor or how the hell is that called
- formatted data again as the decryptor suggests
The result was always the same, boot looped from the very first image. It seems like that the image is not getting flashed and even if TWRP says was flashed right it is just not there. I'm literaly pulling my hair as it was so easy and straight forward with the Tab A 10.1, but with this ….. thanks for your answer in advance

I used AOSP 9.0 and LineageOS 16 with OpenGApps Pico and both work but are very buggy.
After hours of trying to figure this out myself i ended up finding two ROMs that work for me. I was running stock Android 9 with september's security updates when testing these out:
Roms that i tried, that did NOT work:
BlissOS
ArrowOS
Lineage16
The ROMs that DID work for me were:
phunsson's Treble Experimentations
microG ufOfficial
The only 2 bugs that i've seen so far have been a small graphical glitch of quickettings not staying within the bounds of the pulldown and MTP not working at all. These are both present in both ROMs (The microg ROM uses phhusson's rom as the base). Neither of these bother me all that and i'm very happy to be able to move to microg and not have all the google/samsung bloat hogging my tablet and constantly trying to ping their motherships.
Here's a great list of Generic System Image (GSI) ROMs that you can click scroll through and try downloading and flashing to your device to see if you have any luck.
My process of installing phunsson's GSI ROM:
Reboot to TWRP,
Do a factory reset (Wipe > "Swipe to Do Factory Reset")
Install Image
Reboot
Took about a minute and a half displaying the bootanimation before it got to the home screen for the first time. If it's loading for more than 5 minutes then that ROM definitely isn't going to work with your device.
Hope this helps someone out there trying to get away from their bloated Samsung One UI.

Did AOSP 10.0 work for you? I haven't been able to get it to boot. Strangely AOSP 9 and LOS 16 are the only ones I've had luck with.
@last1youlove whoa! You got LOS to work? What kind of magician are you? That one never booted for me. The only ROM I got working was ArrowOS and it has a few bugs. I really want to get HavocOS to work but it's a no-go!

I have not. I just really wanted an AOSP based ROM and i had gotten to the point where i had reflashed the stock firmware 3 times through ODIN because I messed up 1 thing or another. So once i got a functional ROM that worked great I just decided to stick to it. Also I don't think Android 10 has Xposed support yet, and i need that in order to enable Signature Spoofing for MicroG's FakeStore.
Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago, I bought a reconditionned OnePlus 5T and installed /e/ on it. Now, I would like to install back OxygenOS.
My problem is that I can’t manage it.
As I couldn’t access to recovery (TWRP) anylonger (don’t know why, maybe something to do with the fact I flashed the 5.1.7 firmware a few days ago, I don't have a clue), I flashed an early Blu Spark one (3.2.1 as the 3.3.x ones won't work on my device). And it worked, I can access recovery through this one.
But when I try to install any OOS zip, via recovery Install menu or by sideloading it (downloaded from the OP website (the most recent one, or from the mirrors referenced on this xda forum, I tried several zips but don't really know which one is really relevant), it fails.
And the only thing I can do is installing back /e/. I tried several ways of doing it, following several guides but even the ones for the ultimate guide available on the One Plus Forum won't work (can't make it recognised by any device manager, maybe the fact that I'm running Ubuntu and not Windows).
So that, for the time being, I’m stuck with /e/OS (based on a LineageOSrunning Android 8.1).
There surely is a step or a file I missed, but which one... Any idea anybody ?
I finally got it working. Through the*********** 's guide.

Hi !
Im interested in going back to OxygenOS from /e/os because the new builds are on android 11, and my current /e/os build is on android 8.1
The idea is to get OxygenOS back, upgrade using OxygenUpdater, and then install de latest android 11 /e/ build.
So what was the name of that guide ?
Thanks
So I've read enough posts to get this first - GLOBAL ONLY I got my phone on Amazon its a global unlocked NOTE8PRO. Any of you with something else like China or India try this method and brick your phone don't cry to me over it. After trial and error, bricking my device and paying some guy in Spain 30EUR to unbrick it (thanks brother you rock) I thought I'd share my final experience and how you can get your GLOBAL RN8P to a stable place to install the ROMS available at this time. I will include at the end my thoughts on the 2 ROMS I installed and used over the past week. Honestly if you're on a global version I'm not sure it's worth it although as I type this I kinda want to flash Pixel Experience again, I really liked it. But more on that later. I compiled this guide from sources here, if I don't give you credit I apologize in advance please just let me know.
First let's make sure we don't brick this mofo.
Hit the MEGA thread if you haven't read it then you shouldn't be flashing your phone, and do this from a clean install of MIUI-V11.0.6.0PGGMIXM and do yourself a favor and get it from Xiaomi or a reliable source, not everyone on here has good intentions. There are some "official" ROMS out there that have been played with and will break your phone.
1. Do it how you want I did this from fastboot. Dump the official MIUI global ROM in a folder, and (I'm on linux box so adjust yourself if you're sadly using Windows) I executed this command from FASTBOOT in the MIUI ROM folder with ADB and FASTBOOT installed for my system.
./flash_all.sh (I think its flash_all.bat for Windows)
This going to wipe your stuff out, have it backed up. I'm dedicated to Google and GDRIVE I don't care I get everything back when I wipe including sms and phone records etc, but to each his own.
It's going to wipe and restore to factory image on that ROM version and you're going to go throught setup again, tedious (I say that having done it 4 times this week) but none the less it is what it is. After you are up and running on that ROM version keeping in mind if you're going to flash a new ROM like PE then don't set it up all the way because you're going to do it all over again anyways move to the next step.
2. From the MEGA thread flash this and reboot. Read the thread download the files and do what Agent_fabulous (awesome guy btw) says. Reboot. Make sure you can reboot to SYSTEM and all is well, don't worry about recovery or bootloader yet.
Code:
fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk.img
3. OK kids we're almost there, now you need to install TWRP and there are MANY versions floating around. Honestly the official version sucks IMHO. go to this thread and download TWRP and do exactly what it says in the thread. Assuming you're device is unlocked already and if its not then come back later follow EXACTLY steps 2 and 3. From there you will update MAGISK after the reboot and be fully rooted and pass SaftyNet checks.
You are stable and rooted. All you do next is enjoy your rooted device and or install a custom ROM. If you do install a custom ROM - READ READ READ and FOLLOW directions I hate to add to the confusuion but there are so many threads on this phone (becasue it sucks to MOD it) and it's frustrating because all of it assumes you know everything or they just don't give you all the steps and you end up bricking your phone. I have never by the way rooted or flashed a phone in my life before this one.
At this time all the custom ROMS need to be flashed after flashing the Indian Vendor image, this is in fact the only way I know and it worked for me everytime. So at this point if you're flashing a new ROM first flash the India Vendor image then flash the new from all from TWRP. But in my experience just follow what it says because Agent_fabulous and friends may crack this tomorrow and it won't be the same. What I am giving you is a VERY stable platform to start flashing ROMS from or just to be rooted and happy. As an FYI from this you can install RIRU and EdXposed if you want to do that, I wasn't impressed other than dark mode in GMail on A9 and ad-blocking in YouTube, I get the ads in YouTube but Google no dark mode in GMail on A9? WTF??
Happy rooting and ROMing.

Hi, I would want to ask you some questions. Is it completely fine to flash ROMs? And by it, would it help out fix battery usage? Eg: Android system. Pretty much why I am looking forwards by flashing custom ROM's. And, have you tried Pixel Experience on the global version of redmi note 8 pro? I am looking forward to it.

Given how aggressive the battery optimizer is on stock, I doubt you'll get more juice out of it.

It's fine to flash ROMs I felt PE was way faster the audio was better over Bluetooth and it was pretty stable. Battery improvement was negligible.
@dcindallas glad you had such a nice experience. have you tried flashing miui 12 on it? seems there are some beta versions for it. seems to bring a lot of eye candy, privacy and performance fixes. give it a go.
@dcindallas hi, can you please add a portion for updating miui rom through twrp (when new version available) the procedure. thanks.
I've not flashed anything but custom ROMS I had to wipe go back to A9 stock ROM due to Pixel Experience dropping wifi constantly.
Well, I appreciate all the effort going into this thread and this device. Thru all the reading I've done on this simple project with different advice, it almost seems there's too much info on it. Anyway, I'm having a dickens of a time with it, just getting it to load up TWRP! I thought I followed all the directions.. y'know... hold this button, dont hold this one, release this one, then repress that one... but I got a bootloop just from flashing TWRP. I had to re-flash the whole MIUI (an older one even) with Mi Flash, the only one I could find that had a flash-all script in it.
I'm a little gun shy, but I'd sure like to give it a go again.
I flashed twrp-3.3.1-0-begonia.img, then rebooted. Any advice why I bootlooped? Was it the TWRP version or did I mess up the button press?
Cheers
Hey guys i need help i forgot to back up my rom so my phone is unusable right now haha. So basically I tried 2 pixel experience custom rom for my mi a2 lite but I keep getting the error code 7 (I believe) i forgot the full details sorry. So I just tried LineageOS and now I'm getting error code 1 'SIgnature mismatch 'kDownloadMetadataSignatureMismatch'. Pls helppp tyy
Edit: Its my first time flashing but I believe I followed the steps properly
Use The offain twrp, the official twrp doesn't work https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=291011
By the way, i'm using havoc os right now, it's like pixel experience plus but way better, try the one that comes with gapps built in https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/daisy/
I was thinking about purchasing a Google Pixel XL due to the reasonable specs and good rom support. But I was just wondering if the device was treble supported before I decided to buy anything as it would help me out quite a bit. Also I am quite the enthusiast when it comes to custom roms and stuff.
If anyone has an answer i will be very grateful.
Thanks.

Got this
Check attached photo. I have been playing with one of these for a bit. I loaded up TWRP followed with the latest Resurrection Remix and the phone is so fun to use.

How did you flash it? I've been trying to flash phh and lineage but it won't boot at all. Tried in both TWRP and fastboot.
Sorry i was not clear about my message. I'm not using any GSI images. I am using https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/unofficial-resurrectionremix-8-5-8-t4149771
I used to flash a lot of GSI's on another model and often i would need patches, custom kernel and some needed a clean flash of one first to get what i wanted after. I really like this ROM, but i have no problems going to stock if i screw up, which i will. So i'll go see if i can get a gsi on top of Rrmix. I'll be back.
I tried a couple gsi's and twrp gives a partition size error. (Too small).. What methods other than factory resetting and trying to install have you tried?
Pretty sure the version of TWRP used is specific. I tried RR with 3.4 and it was a mess. Now i'm using 3.2.3.1 and things are not perfect, but close enough for me.

TWRP 3.4.0.0 is only good because it brings decryption support - there's also a fork of 3.3.0.0 by NZedPred on the regular Pixel forum (but the port is built for the XL too) which brings the best of both worlds, 3.4.0.0 decryption and 3.2.3.1 stability.
The small system partition is a known problem with our Pixels, there are repartitioning scripts ... but here be dragons.
