Here's what I've learned far about the E6:
Mostly from Treble Info app from Hackintosh Five
VNDK-28
Arm32 BINDER64
It's actually AB, according to it having System As Root.
No Seamless upgrade.
Binder64-AB/A64-AB GSIs work on this device.
Quack GSI should be the first we focus on.
TO INSTALL:
Code:
fastboot -w flash system <gsiname.img>
BOOTS
Quack GSI (AOSP 10, bb)!
Will list others as I come across them.
This is awesome.
I got LOS 16 bvn to boot.
The ril must be off or something, it had no connection.
I've got stock rom with encryption disabled and verity disabled, full magisk root living inside the boot.img..
And got twrp with touch adb and mtp working...
But it looks a lil funny cause the port has slightly smaller image so it doesn't fully fill screen.
But everything seems to work, including flashing zips..
Should that be a thread by its self?

Yes, please! it's very nice that u did that, I'll link it in the main post when u do
For a working recovery see this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e6/development/development-team-looking-testors-t4120171
tried:
>fastboot flash system <image.img>
for all the 3 Quack GSI: system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps.img.xz, system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-go.img.xz and system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
The system just keeps looping the andriod logo...
Anyone knows of a twrp version that works with this moto e6?
soulmaker2207 Did you do the -w in fastboot after you installed the gsi? If you didn't it is definitely worth a try Beware it will erase all data including the internal sd

Alongside the fastboot -w advice, try renaming every img you download to "system.img." I have had way more success doing that than using long img names.
Also, I noticed that for a lot of GSIs, USB Tethering does not work.
Just installed latest phusson aosp android 11 gsi, over latest stock pie, using fastboot -w option, of course. Boots great, working VoLTE, sms, etc. Super fast performance. Usb tethering greyed out. That's the only problem I sound so far.

Yeah USB Tethering doesn't seem to work for ANY GSI ROMs.
I am running Android 11 AOSP now using phhusson gsi rom V300.l. For your phone calling and sms to work properly, you need to follow this guide every time you reboot or power off/on. I mean every time.
[Razer Phone 2/as of v300.l/non-Verizon] IMS still needs some manual intervention to re-enable after reboot. · Issue #1681 · phhusson/treble_experimentations · GitHub
I have done this often enough now that I can do it in under 30 seconds. Hopefully, this issue will be fixed soon, but it is not that difficult to fix yourself.

Yes I was trying to update from Android 10
I am running phhusson aosp 11 v300.l gsi rom right now. Super fast. Amazing, really.
If you are on the T-Mobile system, you need to do 3 things in order to make VoLTE and sms work properly. Hopefully, this will not be needed in future updates, but it might be.
1. using a root file explorer (I use 3C) to locate and move the org.codeaurora.ims folder from /data/app to /system/app
2. reboot
3. using *#*#4636*#*# on the dialer to open "phone information menu", change the band to GMS/WCDMA/LTE, and close the menu.
That's it. I hope this helps you to consider moving up to gsi roms. They are truly amazing.
Greetings people and like minded friends of the internet (and fellow trashman) I come bearing great gifts of flashing goodness. For the XT2005-5, I needed a nice de-Googled imaged phone for usage. As most of you probably have found in searching, finding TWRP and getting it to work has been a tedious journey. Never fear, there is a way to drop images on this phone. I will give you my experience and steps I took, in hopes it may help you save a bit of time.
1.) Download the factory image for the device found here
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/surfna/official/RETUS/ I used this one https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2005-5-SKU6_CFC.xml.zip Use a program like 7-Zip to extract it to a folder of your liking and you will use this folder later in the process. Of course, you're welcome to stop here and just flash the factory image and be done. But after all, why would you be reading this post if you wanted to just stop here, right?!
2.) Now find a GSI system image of your liking for flashing to the phone. I used the following system image from PHH (KUDOS FOR THE MAN WHO ROCKS GREAT ANDROID SKILLS) https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases For this phone you can you ARM32/Binder64/AB and I decided to go with
system-roar-arm32_binder64-ab-vndklite-vanilla.img.xz as I wanted no GAPPS. You will need to use 7-Zip again to extract the image from the archive file you've download. You can extract this file anywhere for the time being.
3.) Rename the extracted image from step 2 to system.img (just for simplicity) and put the file in the same directory you've created from step1.
4.) Now create a flashfile2.bat with the following and put this .bat file in the same directory as Step1
echo off
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------
echo please scroll up and check your flash for any errors
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------------
pause
fastboot reboot
exit
5.) You will notice that I modified the .bat to flash the system.img that was downloaded in Step 2. Keep in mind, this method will re-write your system and you will LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA so ensure you have YOUR DATA BACKED UP.
Run the flashfile2.bat file after you've connected your USB cable and you're at the bootloader screen
You already unlocked the bootloader, right? Hopefully, you're at least to BL screen, right after you've researched a bit about your phone .

ARM32/Binder64/AB = a64 a/b OR potentially a64bvN/a64bvS
Something to make it easier on others.
There was a link for TWRP on this post but had to remove it because the link is dead. I'll explore other options before re-updating this post

This has a TWRP for E6 which allows you to flash things like magisk, universal encryption disabler, gapps, et cetera. Things that might not be built into the native ROM.

My device (Redmi 8) is Treble supported & A-only Arm64 system.
Can I flash any A-only ARM64 GSI rom ?
I tried couple of A-only Arm64 GSI's, those flash successfully but my device start and Redmi logo appears and its restart again & again.

Do you use patch files to start / force the start?
Do you have the boot or recovery in permissive mode?

Yes first vbmeta and then system.
But the command you wrote is wrong. You need to execute one command for the vbmeta and one for the system.
So the commands would be:
1. fastboot flash vbmeta 'name of the vbmeta img'
2. fastboot flash system 'name of the system img'
If you have a device which comes with Android 10 out of the box you can only flash the system.img in fastbootd mode probably. This means you need one extra command between the ones i wrote. In this case it would show as follows:
1. fastboot flash vbmeta 'name of the vbmeta img'
2. fastboot reboot fastboot
3. fastboot flash system 'name of the system img'

I have a Redmi 8 and i remember flashing an A-only rom resulting in bootloop too. I also had problems with A/B roms but i fixed it by formatting (not just wiping) /data, after you do that it will reboot once in the Redmi logo then all the next boots will work. Currently running A/B Lineage 17 while before i was running Pixel Experience 10 A/B just fine. I know technically it's an A/B rom but it works.
Please try formatting /data first with the A-Only image. You can do so by going in TWRP>Wipe>Format Data. Let me know if this worked. If it didn't, flash an A/B image then format data with the instructions above. I know that the Redmi 8 technically is A-Only, but this worked fine for me soo feel free to try. Remember to format data for A/B images too, or they will bootloop!
EDIT:
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+.

Redmi 8 comes with Android 9, thus it needs A/B GSIs as the above and the device list on the article says.
While the issue for the OP was solved, I still wanted to repeat the question: Can I flash any A/B/AB Treble ROM (according to my device) onto my phone? So basically all Treble ROMs will be compatible to my treble-enabled device?
I already understood the general principle of Treble, I just am thankful for a last bit of comfirmation about this.
Thanks in advance.

Had an 11.2.3.3 Global rooted via Magisk OP9 Pro that I wanted to update via OTA to 11.2.4.4, which was offered via system update. I used Magisk to restore images before update, did the update, and then went back to install to inactive slot. Rebooted and it was still on 11.2.3.3 so I tried again. Upon trying again, my phone got to a Qualcomm debug/error mode. I experienced this before when on a different boot slot for some other diagnosis of another issue in the past so I switched boot slots.
The other boot slot is stuck in fastboot mode I come to find so I check what it shows if I reverted back to the other boot slot, which was the Qualcomm error. Now instead of a Qualcomm error, it shows language options, one of which is English, and then gives me "boot reason", "wipe data and cache" and "advanced". I believe this is the OnePlus recovery menu, which I have not needed to use before and in the past, used TWRP on other devices.
Can't I just reflash a whole system image for 11.2.4.4 (it'd have to be the European one right now since Global isn't available) via fastboot and it should be fixed, albeit unrooted and I can just re-root? I'd like to try this, but there's no "flash-all.bat" and I don't know the proper flash order for the Euro images within payload.bin as there's no xml file (I looked up a guide for directions on how to flash without flash-all.bat that I have used on other devices). Oh, and I tried to fastboot a known good boot.img and on one of the slots, it works fine, but still wont boot. The other gives error "FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)". I'm stumped.
Wondering if this has been experienced by anyone else before. Wiping my device is the last resort and shall be avoided at all costs after how much I have configured it to my liking.

Followed this guide here after extracting the Europe full system image via Payload-dumper and it now boots somewhat, but after it looks like it's loading into OOS and boot is complete, I get a black screen instead of the lock screen. I get charging sounds when plugged into the computer, but just a black screen.

Wondering if this has to do with the Europe 11.2.4.4 on my Global device. Going to try reverting to 11.2.2.2 Global full image now.

Just tried flashing the older 11.2.2.2 images one at a time and now it's stuck in recovery...
The closest I can get it to full booting is with 11.2.4.4 Europe full image and I get a black screen only, after it boots up with the OnePlus logo. When plugged in, I get a charging sound every 10-20 seconds or so. Too bad there's no 11.2.4.4 full image for Global or I'd try that.
Also just tried fastboot boot 11.2.4.4_global_boot.img on this 11.2.4.4 Europe image and still no go. Boots and makes sounds, but black screen still.

I was considering it, but don't want to lose any data. Next step is to contact OnePlus technical support during normal hours and see if they can work with me to resolve this one. I believe I read here on XDA that people have contacted them and usually are able to resolve the issue. Trying to avoid clearing data as the device is fine as it boots, but I think the Europe image is conflicting somewhere and not allowing me into the system since it boots all the way to the lock screen, but I don't see a lock screen, just a blank screen with sounds after boot seemingly working, along with charging sounds (albeit, sounding every 10-20s like its periodically charging).
This is so odd though because I did everything as I should've and update seemingly occurred, but system version still showed 11.2.3.3. So I go back to system update and it said there was an issue and to restart again. Did that two times with magisk revert image and restore to inactive and it then stopped booting.
If you're able to get to the recovery you can try sideloading the zip file
ADB Sideload name.zip
That should put the rom back to default, I would reboot the phone back into recovery and then do a wipe or go to fastboot and use "fastboot -w" to wipe the userdata

As far as I know, it should do as long as the drivers are installed properly, you can check with "ADB Devices", if you see the number returned then the phone is responding.
As for the fastboot commands above, I know there was a post on the OP7P forum that would make fastboot script packs for each build, if you use the script from those, you should able to amend it to flash the images above. Afaik the structure is likely the same anyway. The post also shows "ADB push" commands you can use to flash individual images to the phone.
I might have a look later and see if I can make a similar one although there seems to be a lot more build versions on the OP9P than there were for the OP7P.
Might just be easier to use the Payload Dumper program to unpack the images from the payload.bin file (instructions here) and then use a generic script to flash them to the phone, all the different models should have similar images although I do know there's an additional India.img for the Indian models (which I think is also shown in the global rom).

I tried flashing all of the 11.2.4.4 Europe full system image payload_dumper extracted images (such as boot.img, system.img, dtbo.img) to the phone and I get where I am now. It goes through boot, but no lock screen, just a non-lit/black screen with sounds that the phone is charging when plugged in and is recognized by the computer (but can't see internal storage since you have to use notification center to turn on usb storage).

See if you can do a fastboot -w to wipe the userdata in case it's been left with unusable data.

This is what I'm trying to avoid...
Since it mostly boots on the Euro 11.2.4.4, I feel that the Global full image would resolve this, but OnePlus never updates their darn website with the latest for Global.

Are there actual hw differences between AA and BA?

There's a pinned post at the top of the forum with all the available latest roms. Not sure they've added Global yet tho. Best going there or Oxygen Updater (when the phone is working) than the download page tbh, OnePlus ALWAYS takes ages to add builds there

Not that I know of, but I have seen users use the Europe image to update their device on this forum before with the OP9Pro because they either didn't want to wait or needed to fix their device for whatever reason and the Europe version worked fine. So I don't know if this is different on 11.2.4.4.

I know that BA is coming first than AA. Dont know reason for that but with op8p situation was same. Then was talk about googles servers or something but cant remember what that was exactly because it never affected me..

I wish I could go without my phone for weeks until they post the latest firmware to see if that even works, but I can't so I guess I'll have to use the msm tool and wipe all of my internal storage of documents, including taxes, and various files and downloads I've amassed over the past half decade. This really sucks. All because of a simple OTA that should've never caused this. They really should prevent this from being possible with the OTA update tool built-in to their system.
This is a guide to remove the ugly "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" or "The bootloader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed" for OP8 Pro.
This message was removed on OOS 12 which was one great thing by OP other than the other broken parts.
So this guide is for OOS 13 not 12 as the message was removed on 12.
But OnePlus brought the message back on OOS 13.
IMPORTANT:
*I am not responsible for bricked devices, damage to your device*
I am here to post my method for anyone who is interested.
The methods have been tested
Prerequisities:
You need a unlocked bootloader
YOU NEED TO HAVE THE STOCK RECOVERY INSTALLED
If you're on a custom ROM that'll be the ROM recovery
This is XDA thread and abl.img is only for the OnePlus 8 Pro, but this method has worked for 8 series devices.
You need to be on OOS 13 and have your bootloader unlocked.
The abl.img doesn't rely on the region so it can be used on any OP8 Pro
The abl.img can be extracted using payload dumper, but download the full zip version.
I have added abl.img from OOS 13 F.10 as this is the newest abl.img that has the message removed and is from @bowow
It is recommended to backup your data before modifying anything on your system
Follow one method and stick to that method
Each method is different where one is for Stock OOS 13 and the other is for OOS 13 based Custom ROMs
Method:
Download the abl.img
Copy and paste the abl.img to platform-tools
If u don't have platform-tools, download the .zip file from download links and extract it
For Stock OOS 13
This method was tested and is from @MeHigh.G
This is for on Stock OOS 13 users
Reboot to bootloader
Type " fastboot devices " to check if your device is connected
Type " fastboot reboot fastboot "
Once booted into Fastbootd Mode, type " fastboot devices " to check if your device is connected
Then type " fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl_filename.img "
Now reboot device and done
For OOS 13 based Custom ROMs
This method was tested by me and it does work
This is for OOS 13 based ROM users
Reboot to recovery
Enter advanced
Enter fastboot
The recovery should now show fastbootd
Type " fastboot devices " to check if your device is connected
Type " fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl_filename.img
Reboot to system and done

Updates
21/11/22 - Released the XDA thread as a guide to remove the ugly "Your device has been unlocked" message for the OP8 Pro
Not sure if this method does work, but I have contacted ROM developers and they say this is the way...
I'm currently not on OOS 13 based ROM, so I can't try and hopefully this does work
21/12/22 - It has been a month and after checking with devs + testers the method does work!
I have tested the method myself
I have updated the method as there's new steps you need like flashing abl.img in both slots
But the method does work on OOS 13 based ROMS! The message can be removed!
22/12/22 - I have found the method that works on Stock OOS 13 thanks to @MeHigh.G
Stock OOS 13 users should be able to remove the bootloader unlocked message
Added new OOS 13 F.10 abl.img file and removed OOS 12 C36 abl.img due to F.10 being newer to ensure users have a newer bootloader
Credited Bowow for giving the F.10 abl.img file for OP8/8 Pro
5/1/23 - Updated methods to flash abl.img in both slots easily instead of flashing abl.img in one slot
Changed "fastboot flash abl abl.img" to " fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl_filename.img " which will flash abl.img in both slots.
For custom ROM method, you will no longer need to reboot and switch slots with the new command
Nice!
Hello!
Since this is working through fastboot, why does it matter what version of Android you are on? So long as abl exixts. Or is abl partition specific to OOS 13?
Thank you
Hmmm, this abl.img is bootloader (version) specific?? Anyone try on anything other than OOS 13?

Abl is part of the bootloader. Well, normally people from oneplus 9 forum got abl from open beta 2, which is oos13 too but without yellow reminder, they flashed it and yeah, it worked, but guy who tried that wrote that he have problems in his oos13. He was stuck in setupwizard and couldn't go on, so he needed to do few more steps.
Btw with all respect to autor of 1. post i will not trust this guy. He don't say any single word where he get this file, from which version, and best part is that, he clearly stated that he didn't even try this, because he's not on oos13. IMO this yellow reminder is ok, and i will not trust guy, who even didn't try to check if it's working. But... It's me.
EDIT: i found this topic here
Check this guys, as you might be stuck in setupwizard or something. Don't blindly use this method, but first read how it works and how to eventually fix this.

That's for the OP9 Pro not the OP8 Pro...
I only learned about this from the dev @HELLBOY017 and it worked for him. He never stated u needed a data wipe.
So I did check that it was working otherwise I would never post something that wouldn't work and wasn't tested.
And I did say.... *I am not responsible for bricked devices, damage to your device* I am here to post my method for anyone who is interested.
I have now posted where I got the abl.img from and the tool I used to extract the payload.bin.
It was from EU OOS 12 C36 full zip
We'll see how it goes as this is new for 8 Pro users and hopefully it does work
Thanks for the reminder of the missing info to include

I know that's for OP9 Pro. But if their device might have problems with it, our device can have problems too.
Maybe it will be without problems, maybe problems will occur. You don't know, because you don't even test it.
We don't even know possible bad outcome. That's all.
And to be clear...
I'm not attacking you or something. I just want to warn people to be careful with messing with critical partitions.

Never considered it as an attack, just posting to clarify where I got this info and everything from.
I only found out about this yesterday from Hellboy017 and it worked for him.
I would recommend this only for users on OOS 13 just to be safe
If something does go wrong, follow the link by @ShadoV90
Do a factory reset or use MSMDownload Tool
thanks for the tip, i'll check it out asap
Edit : FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions. ')
we might have to use the --force argument in the fastboot command
try at your own risk

Yep, because abl is critical partition (part of bootloader) as i said. There are two "unlocks".
Normal unlock, where you can change boot image or recovery, etc, which will cause softbrick if something goes wrong.
Critical unlock, in most devices allows to mess with partitions which MUST be signed and (if something will go wrong) can brick your device harder, and will lead to use MSM as last resort.
Unlocking critical part can be achieved MOSTLY (not always from what i know) by typing in fastboot mode (in command prompt):
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Sincerely, idk if it's working, as for me it wasn't needed. If this command isn't supported then you will just get info about it.

the flashing unlock_critical output is the fastboot help, i guess it's not working
I will try again saturday on Linux to see if it helps

if you try to fastboot flash abl abl.img in bootloader it will give you that error YES!
But if you boot to a custom recovery and from there boot into fastboot mode then there will be no error and the file will be flashed successfully.
I talk from experience! And BTW just did that a minute ago.

I use oFox or the one provided with Flamingo OS or Pixel Blaster
so the steps are :
1- extracting the abl file from the rom we are running using paylaod.bin.
2- booting to recovery using oFox or the one provided with Flamingo OS or Pixel Blaster.
3- booting from there to fastboot
4- flashing the abl file.
right .?

I've already extracted it for the 8 pro... Up to u
For step 4 it's fastboot flash abl abl.img
i'm unable to unlock bootloader says command not supported in default implementation.
IN2021 One plus 8 pro.
Followed the instructions here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/lemonade/install
When it came to recovery, I opted for TWRP instead, as that's what I've always used & am most familiar with for my Lineage devices.
Followed TWRP steps here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-11-official-teamwin-recovery-project.4294289/
Instantly bricked, but could still access fastboot. No error saying flashing failed or anything.
So then, I tried flashing Lineage's recovery - that made things worse and ended up on Qualcomm Crashdump. fastboot only worked if the phone was unplugged from my computer's USB, for some reason.
My tools:
- Debian Bullseye
- Fastboot v28, tried backport version v29 - same results
Relented and followed the instructions from the install page, regarding the A/B issues with fastboot:
Note: Outdated fastboot releases dropped legacy A/B support, so it might attempt to flash to boot__a / boot__b rather than boot_a / boot_b if you try to flash boot. In this case, you must update fastboot to a release newer than or equal to 31.0.2. Alternatively, you can manually specify which slot to flash to based on what slot fastboot failed to flash to. For example, if fastboot fails to flash to boot__a, you must flash to boot_a.

Success... except I still got Qualcomm crash and couldn't do anything on the device.
FYI, I ran:
fastboot flash recovery_a lineage-19.1-20221204-recovery-lemonade.img
This is my first time flashing an A/B device and the first time I've had such weird issues with flashing Lineage, I believe my problem is related to the fastboot flash recovery_a lineage-19.1-20221204-recovery-lemonade.img - but before I attempt flashing again, I'd like to know for certain what to do in this instance.
Was I supposed to also do:
fastboot flash recovery_b lineage-19.1-20221204-recovery-lemonade.img
?
Or, is something like fastboot --set-active=a required at some point?
Searching for others' instructions in this scenario is a bit tricky as all of the guides are written for Windows and clearly I'm an outlier doing this on a Linux box.
If anyone else comes across this after bricking their Oneplus 9, I got it back up and running on Oxygen OS by following this article: https://www.droidwin.com/unbrick-oneplus-9-pro-fastboot-commands/ and used: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go to get payload.bin extracted from the zip I downloaded from: https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1617074715494
all while sitting on Linux, did not need to involve a Windows machine at all.
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone can offer!
Gave this another shot and believe I figured out what I did wrong..
Phone was on Android 11, I did not go through incremental updates
Following Lineage's instructions, I flashed dtbo.img and vendor_boot.img -- take note that the latest are --Android 12--, so presumably, this caused the device to choke
After getting it unbricked and back on Android/OxygenOS 11, I did the incremental OTA updates to get on Android 12, then proceeded to flash the Lineage instructions exactly as before, except I went with Lineage with MicroG and used their recovery (offered on the device downloads page).
Everything went smooth this time around and I'm now on Lineage!
