I need help in installing treble gsi on lava R5s play.
Phone supports treble with A/B partition
Arm 64.
Also require stock lava firmware to revert in case of bootloop.
Cannot find official firmware for lava R5s play.
Do you have TWRP recovery for your phone? If so back up the whole stock rom which allows you to revert if GSI doesnt' boot (good chance). Otherwise not worth risking your phone to try GSI

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.

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!
I flashed the Android GSI (Generic System Image) but now I want to go back to Oxygen OS how do I go back.....I tried just flashing the zip for Oxygen OS but it keeps bootlooping so I figured since I flagged a new system image it wouldn't work so how do I flash the Oxygen OS system image???
Help I'm really confused can't find anything online

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.

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
I need some help with flashing a GSI Image on BV9500 pro. I managed to flash it one time, and then due a nandroid restore, I had to flash the stock rom.
Now, whenever I try to reflash the LineageOs 17 GSI image or the AOSP, the phone is always stuck at the Blackview logo. I tried everything, wiping the partitons before flashing, using the decrypt, OEM and bootloader unlocked. Nothing works.
Fixing the contents doesn't do anything either.
I have TWRP installed and can access it without any problems.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I'm using the same phone and most of the gsi roms doesn't boot up.. I only had success with resurrection remix and havoc os but they were too buggy. I think we can't set selinux to permissive that's the huge problem with this phone...
I am curious when flashing treble gsi is there any prerequesite files that are needed? Do i have go use a/b or can I use just a.? I flashed an efran gsi it was the Hydrogen OS it booted into the Hydrogen boot animation but wouldnt boot into the os. I fell like i got it and just need to be patient but wondering if there is a tool to make them work better. Also does anyone have a one Ui gsi thats not too big?
