These days, I find many people asked how to enable fingerprint on Mi 8 PRO(runs GSI), so I'd write this thread to let you konw. I only test the phh's AOSP v217 with MIUI 12 20.5.21 vendor. If you want to use other GSI or other vendor you can also test whether fingerprint works on it by following these steps. However, these instructions may only works on Android 10.
I assume you are familiar enough how to flash GSI on Mi 8 pro. If you just a rookie, I recommand you to read this passage.(Of course, don't forget follow the instructions what I writed).
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Flash the MIUI 12 rom(20.5.21) by this TWRP.
Step 2: Find the GSI. ATTENTION: The GSI needs to be ARM64-AB!!! . I will recommand the phh's AOSP GSI v217(Because I only test it). Of course, you can chose other GSIs you like and test whether the fingerprint works on it.
Step 3: Flash it by the TWRP.
That's all. Hope you enjoy it!
Did the partition layout change with MIUI 12?
The Mi 8 Pro (equuleus) used to be a A only GSI image. I would like to try this... even if I replaced my Mi 8 Pro recently with a OnePlus 7 pro... mainly due to the fingerprint!!!

I saw it on phh's AOSP wiki on github. That's what he said:
Why should I use GSI for A/B devices to some A-only devices? : On Android 9, Google changed the requirements and all devices shipped with Android 9 must use "system-as-root". Before this change, only A/B devices were system-as-root and GSI name was separated by A-only and A/B. For this historical reasons, you have to use GSI for A/B on the devices shipped with Android 9+.
If I try to flash the arm64-a Android 10 GSI then it can't boot and just go to the fastboot mode. However, if I flash Android 10 arm64-ab rom, it will succeed to boot. So I think we should use arm64-ab rom instead of arm64-a rom(at least on Android 10 we should do it).
Arm64-ab-floss OR Arm64-ab-go OR Arm64-ab-vanilla?

It up to you. You should chose the one you prefer. If you dont know what differences of them, just search it on Google. And all of them can succeed to boot.

Just because the fingerprint only works on MIUI 12 vendor. Just backup your data and flash the MIUI 12 rom.
Thanks for the guide !
you forget to mention we must had advance wipe the system partition -will mostly go into fastboot if not-
plus, anyone was able to pass safetynet ? my banks apps not working at all even after using magiskhide props
even whatsapp tells me this is an unofficial ROM

U can do this by uninstall root. By click phh settings->Securize then you will rid out of root. However, you can use "MagiskHide Props Config" module to pass the safetynet.
1.) Install the "MagiskHide Props Config" module
2.) Reboot
3.) Run a terminal app and type:
su
props
4.) Set the fingerprint with the following keys (pressing enter after each):
1 -> f ->Any way u want(but I recommend you to chose the Xiaomi option), just follow the instruction of it.
5.)reboot.
And dont forget to uninstall the edxposed module first if you install it before.

I need my root, so I can't uninstall it
I applied a factory reset, with internal storage wipe to ensure everything been deleted, then installed Magiskhide props and set the proper fingerprint "xiaomi mi 8 android 10"
hided google play services and store and framework in the MagiskHide
and now, wow ! it worked
but there is still 2 applications that haven't worked
1) STCpay
2) Alinma internet
may you please try these 2 bank applications to indicate if the issue only with me or not please ?

The Alinma internet can be opened like this. However, the stc pay still cant be opened. You can read this passage "Time attack-based bypass script (Deprecated)" and follow it to make the app work I think. Good luck.
Btw I use the Lineage 17.1 rom now.

Tried that, but didn't get any benefit, even the worked apps had crashed after reboot :/
this GSI stuff is just a headache, no safetynet pass, android auto not working, device get very hot, battery drained faster -better than MIUI12 though- with no additional features upon MIUI at all
I think I will give the lineageOS a try tonight
Thank you my friend for you support all the way "big heart"

Anyone running an Android Q GSI with Magisk installed? If so, can you send me the version number and region (Global, China, China Dev) of the stock ROM you are coming from? What GSI are you running and what steps did you take?
I can get Magisk to install with Xiaomi EU, but I prefer to use Pixel Experience Q. The fingerprint sensor works in almost all GSIs now, but I really need to get Magisk working so I can run ANX Camera. When I install any version of Magisk via zip or patched images I get a loop at the Mi logo. If I patch recovery I can boot into the GSI, but Magisk is not showing as installed.
Any alternate methods to get ANX Camera installed would be greatly appreciated as well. I actually don't do much with root access.

You need an A/B rom, but you can use the Treble Info app on any phone if you are ever unsure. I'm under the impression that any phone shipped with Android 9 or higher should use A/B roms because it should be system as root. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.
How to flash Quack Phh-Treble arm64-a/b GSI on the Redmi Note 9 (MERLIN)
All the development credits for this GSI go to @phhusson. For more information head over to his thread.
And @nielsync for the guide on Redmi 9(This method worked on my redmi note 9)
Bugs:
Auto brightness
Headphone jack
Can't test VoLTE so likely not working
What is working:
Everything else
I’m not a developer so you should report bugs at phhusson's treble experimentations issues tracker on GitHub.
WARNING:
I am not responsible for any damage to your smartphone.
All your data will be deleted during the process so a backup is essential
Requirements:
1) Unlocked bootloader here
2) Latest Android platform tools here
3) MIUI stock recovery (maintain it to be able to boot fastbootd)
4) Xiaomi fastbootd drivers here
5) I flashed Phh-Treble AOSP 10.0 v222 system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps here (download the file system-quack-arm64-ab-gapps, unzip it, and rename it as system.img)
6) vbmeta.img here
Steps:
1) Reboot your phone in fastboot mode (reboot and hold volume -)
Run the commands below within the platform-tools folder(copy vbmeta.img and system.img to platform tools folder)
2) fastboot reboot fastboot (to boot into fastbootd mode)
3) fastboot flash system system.img
4) fastboot erase userdata
5) fastboot erase cache
6) fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
7) fastboot reboot
Notes:
Phh-Treble has root by default which is a plus. Due to the Redmi 9's partition structure the system is effectively read only.
The following video shows the procedure on the Redmi 9, is the same on Redmi Note 9 (video in spanish sorry)
Reserved
What is your telegram user? I'd like to talk about the credits stuff, because I developed the guide for merlin and posted it in group. This is just an edited copy, reported.
Also, you messed up the commands.
+ the video posted below is of Lancelot and not even merlin.
Is it smoother than Miui and gives more performance??

Hello bro, @nielsync make this guide for Redmi 9 lancelot (serch in Redmi 9 forum).
I just tried the same on my Redmi Note 9 and it worked. I have the redmi 9 and the redmi note 9, so I was able to test the method.
About the YouTube video, I am the owner of the channel, and in the channel is the same method (very similar) for the redmi note 9s and redmi 9.
So these types of procedures are not new to me.
And about the commands, none are missing.
I'm sorry I did the guide before you.
Have a great day.

I'm happy you guys found my guide helpful and this is simply a copy paste of it. Me and the guys over at the Redmi 9 forums tried many times until we booted and so I came up with those steps. They can be used to flash a GSI on basically any device with logical partitions including A/B devices with two slots by flashing the system on both. A thanks does me no harm

- I have installed the xiaomy fastbootd drivers by following the procedure described above.
- I do very exactly the fastboot procedure
invariably and whatever the rom gsi (quack or havoc ) in ARM64 A/B I always have the same mistake:

if anyone can help me I don't understand
thank you in advance
Great that there is at least GSI for this phone.
Is there a default camera app? Or which are you using and what about the quality?

It comes with default android Camera app (the one in any AOSP-based rom) its stable, but quality is avarage (not good, not bad).
I also tested GCam (version published in this same forum by another user) which is relatively stable and has better quality but its slower.
I have tried a gsi roms in the xiaomi mi mix 3 and the battery works well, the fluidity is good, what I fell short of was with the root that when I installed magisk it gave me bootloop, if any of you have tried Please comment, I would like to see that the postp rom official release for the mi mix 3 this rom has a good design and performance.

It looks like you have to use Magisk v21 to have Android 11 support. It's been released just some days ago - maybe that's the issue?
By the way, I very much would like to test the Android 11 GSI on my Mi Mix 3 5G as well!

I'm experiencing several issues with phhusson's GSI image on the Mi Mix 3:
- When selecting a ringtone or notification sounds, it stays silent. (edit: Go to Phh Treble Settings -> Qualcomm features -> "Use alternate audio policy")
- The cell reception seems to be very fluctuent. I can only get 3G, not LTE. (edit: after manually selecting the preferred network type in the settings, it's much better)
- NFC is not working well
- Can't get Magisk installed for now
- The device is named "Unknown Phh-Treble vanilla" Will easily be fixed after Magisk is installed
- GBoard crashes whenever I try to change the settings
Does it work to flash the ColorOS OB on the EU model?
Is the modem working?
edit:
got it working now. i did it this way
1. Updated to OOS Open Beta link
2. Download Color OS from your source
3. Install OPLocalUpdate and copy coloros to the root of your phone
4. Set the build date to 1400000000
apply in terminal
Code:
su
resetprop ro.build.data.utc 1400000000
5. Start the update with the apk above
6. ???
7. profit
use it for 3 days now and its stable as oos.
i think its more fluid and smooth then oxygenos, but there is a lot of bloatware and some apps are on chinese, i debloated those
props to @null0seven
Hey!
Yes, the OOS OB works on the EU model, be sure to choose the NA variant (which is the global one, as the EU version is not available due to strict European laws).
Everything works as intended on my end.
Hope this helps.
IN variant is also OK, though.
IN variant has theme store, WLB 2.0 and super power saving.
LOL Guys, he asked about COLOR OS.

Xiaomi.eu ROM for 12 Turbo / Poco F5 with root is great, because one can install among others ad-block apps such as AdAway and block all ads in apps (Youtube excluded). I rooted xiaomi.eu (via magisk and "boot.img") couple of days ago and it's working great. You're right, when you wouldn't recommend rooting via TWRP and flashing magisk.zip for the reasons you mentioned in post #4 above.
Have any of you tried installing viper4android magisk?
A lot of devices are being unable to install the old viper 4 android. I know there's a 64bit version now that usually works on devices that can't install the other one. It doesn't have all of the features it's missing headphones surround sound and gain increase. Which are the two best features of the whole vipers situation. So I want to purchase a Poco F5 or F5 pro. So I am wondering if viper is working?
You'll probably have to install magisk delta canary latest build because the new magisk v26.1 won't work with viper now either. It will work if you Install viper with magisk delta and then switch to magisk official v26.1.
Normally what you do is you install the busy box module, The James DSP 4.6 module, Selinux permissive module, audio modifications library 4.2 module and the viper for Android module finally. You don't have to use the James DSP but sometimes it corrects problems in the system to get viper to work. I'm not sure how much you guys are aware so I am trying to cover everything.
Pixel 6, 7 pro it won't work on. My tab S8 plus, S22 and S23 ultra it won't work on. Pixel 7 pro with AOSP roms make it work when those are available.

Worked like a charm for me on my Xiaomi 12X, install it as a magisk module.

No, you need to root the phone first, then you can use it also on stock rom
