I've been reading some webs that install lineageos on a LG G8 trough TWRP it this possible?
I have a LG G8 At&t ??* stuck on Android 9
You'll need to root your phone and get TWRP to work (there's a guide for it somewhere in the guide section of this forum). After that you should be able to flash a GSI (https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble).
As far as I know the G8 is an AB device, you should still check with an app though.
Just be aware that not everything works 100% of the time, it's hit or miss with GSIs. Sometimes Bluetooth doesn't work, sometimes sound doesn't, sometimes calls aren't available etc.
Make sure you really want to commit to that.

You will only be able to root if you can get to Android 10

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!!!

Vendor and kernel to flash gsi.
Giving a bump here as I've managed to do this. See OP for info.

I have a Moto G5 Cedric and I plan to install a GSI ROM, but everywhere I have heard that I need my phone to have Project Treble compatibility, I have installed a lot of apps that tell you if your phone is compatible or not and they all say not compatible, but... is it true that it is not compatible?
PD: ROM: LineageOS 17.1 Android 10

Although there is no official support for Treble, it is unofficially available for Moto G5 Cedric here => https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/treble-project-treble-cedric-t3820451/
It is a bit outdated, not having been updated in quite a while but you can download it from here => https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287275
Disclaimer :: I have not tried/used this personally so cannot comment any further on this.

Android 10 GSI ROMs have broken RIL (Calls, mobile data, SMS, MMS, VoLTE, everything like you had no SIM card except that not even emergency calling works), Hotspot for example is often broken, etc. My advise: DO NOT USE.

Apologies, I did not notice @FranGAMER321 wanted to try Android 10.
To @FranGAMER321, I would say go by what @nift4 says since he's very knowledgeable about this device.

I don't know if he wants to try Android 10, he didn't specify. So I added some information to your good good: ) post.

Hello,
I have a Brazilian G8s currently running February security patches on ver. v10b-BRA.
Unfortunately LG Brazil is ignoring us and has not even given a estimated date for the release of Android 10 on the phone, so I came to ask for your help hahahah
The only method I have seen that seems like it would work is to install a leaked Beta using "activity launcher" as described in this forum post but I would like to use a more stable release of A10 if possible.
I have rooted an Android phone a few years ago, so if that is required I believe I could do it, it would just be a lot easier to have some kind of guide to follow, as I have found a lack of resources regarding this kind of firmware flash on the G8s...
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance to anyone who is able to help me out! I just want native dark mode and gesture navigation hahahah
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/how-to/rooting-g8s-guide-t4044193 there is the rooting guide, it works flawlessly on EU version of G8S. I am not sure which firmware and its magisk_patched.img should you use, maybe some from beta? Hopefully they will later deliver Android 11 in Brazil... https://www.androidauthority.com/android-11-update-tracker-1155652/

I am not sure if this works on BRA G8s, even if it is an EAW model.
Tried it anyway just now but the adb reboot bootloader line on cmd says there is no device found, even with the phone with developer mode etc. turned on...
Thanks for your help anyway, I will try unlocking the bootloader again later and update the post if it works!
Hello everyone,
I noticed that TWRP is finally supported for Moto G7 Play devices: https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog7play.html
I am curious how rooting is for the G7 Play?
I read some old comments about how the G7 Play has some weird uncommon setup, which makes rooting difficult.
Wanted to get some opinions before I proceed.
Thanks again!

It has been around, but depending on your Android OS number and build, you might be out of luck.
Had mine rooted and working perfectly with Android 9 and I don't remember which build. But then I had to factory reset.
Currently running Android 10 on QPYS30.85-18-11 and it doesn;t work.

hello, you can downgrade to Android 11 and then install GMS, but you cannot upgrade to Android 12 otherwise they will stop working.
