Google R preview GSI - Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers

Hello everyone, I was trying to flash Google R preview gsi to my phone. Since my phone is samsung a20e, first I used odin. Packed patched vbmeta img and r preview gsi image. And flashed it. But after few seconds after pressing start, it saids "Failed to send end session packet". Does it mean the gsi is too large for my /system partition?

That error means that there was, an in this case undocumented, error whilst sending the Gsi to your device

Doing the update second time is fine, and best way to restore full stock. But you needed to use Oreo version of no-check recovery and the Oreo partition to flash it to.
So if still able to get into twrp, can try with correct no-check recovery and correct partition it's flashed to.
Also
With multi tool , make sure you put check mark on emui 8. Up in upper right corner. That way it uses Oreo partition names and file not nougat.
The partition length over message usually means nougat file or partition name used on Oreo system

On the extractor app. On options tab uncheck the verify header option, it should extract then.
Then perhaps first do these three partitions.
Kernel.img
Ramdisk.img
Then
twrp_ramdisk or for stock use recovery_ramdisk

I ever have similiar problem with you dude, but it's solved now, if you always stuck on " its OK but when my phone want to start its stuck on google page "just a sec...", its call google accont verification, i'll by bypass with this script, save as to .bat and put on adb folder
adb devices
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/secure --bind name:s:user_setup_complete --bind value:s:1
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login/
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.gsf.login.LoginActivity
pause
in fastboot type:
fastboot -w
after all it's works to me to bypass google account verification
and if now your problem is
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again.
Error!
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
Error NO : 2 (load failed!)
i solve with re-flash system from this
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939830152
fastboot flash system system.img
and doing TWRP Flashing
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=25826#downloads
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk complete_twrp_ramdisk.img
and voila my problem solved..

So now is locked frp. Does phone have twrp or stock now.?
I think when you tried to install the oreo update for second time, you followed same tutorial as the first time. And that made you problem worse. The tutorial has you flash no-check recovery to 2 partition by block number. 22 & 29. On nougat that is "recovery" and "recovery2". On Oreo partion table it is "reserved2" & "erecovery_vendor"
I don't know how to fix imei. Have hope that if to ucan have a full ota install , maybe can be fixed.
There is available a "service rom" (used to fix most all problem) for Europe region with l21.
I can share link to site with service rom if you want , but I have not used it myself so not gonna be much help with it.
Link is to rusian language page. Google should translate for you.

in summery. because i have been going back and forth in multiple different groups, multiple problem, i cant remember it all.
you have broken system, from failed root attempt, followed by failed update.
device condition is as follows.
--system not booting
--stock recovery loads
--fastboot/bootloader loads, but is in frp lock status
options are limited, at best.
I think "dload" method with service rom is best.
other option is maybe paid service like dc-unlock. But I can recall some note on there service about frp-unlock, that can only be used on device with working system. (of course if was working system, wouldn't need dc-unlock)

what about the "about phone" screen
what does it show for version?
If is all stock you should be able to go into deveolper options and enable "oem unlock". If it is greyed out and cannot switch it. Try First to remove google account (all accounts ). and reboot. See if can change then. If not, try Second to do "fastboot oem relock [enter your bootloader code here]
after relock and rebooted oem switch should be enabled again.
****RELOCK IS ONLY ADVISED IF 100% STOCK ROM****
otherwise relock could make more trouble.
Still not sure how to get IMEI back even if unlocked frp though.
**And please stop posting in other threads , the same problem , because you are getting help here.
your post in recovery thread is off topic to that thread and just makes the forum harder to maintain.

Hello I have a Huawei Mate-SE (with bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk v16). I have been using the android custom rom RRO v6 (RR-O-v6.0.0-20180401-bnd-OpenKirin) for around a month now. I got this exact same problem about the White Screen saying "ERROR MODE Attention...." since I updated the Magisk to latest version (from the installed application) and rebooted my phone. SInce I rebooted I am getting that same error which makes the phone loops into it for a few times and then it loads the Huawei eRecovery that offers me some options that I am not sure what would do to my phone.
I have been trying to connect to adb tools/fastboot but it doesn't detect the phone and im pretty sure I have the device drivers installed on my computer since nothing have changed in my pc for a month now since I flashed RRO on it.
Is there any other mode besides recovery that would allow me to connect adb/fastboot to it? Or does anyone knows how should I proceed?

I have seen where the magisk update screwed up and patches the kernel intead of the ramdisk.
Power off , long press power button.
Hold volume down and plug in USB from PC.
This should cause it to boot into fastboot mode.
Then flash the stock kernel. And the stock or first patched ramdisk. (From earlier root)

Hi thank you I was able to finally detect the device now. I am unsure about the kernel is that the recovery.img or system.img files I downloaded (i saved every file i used when I installed the rom) or do I need to look for the kernel somewhere else? I do have the complete_twrp_ramdisk.img file though.
Edit, I did more research and found the stock kernel is withing the boot.img file which I dont have so I looked up for the official BND-L34 oreo update and im currently downloading to extract the stock boot.img from the update.zip and flash it. Since that download was going to take me a while anyway i tried flashing the twrp recovery file without success (didn't changed anything) so i guess I should follow the instructions you gave me by flashing the kernel first then the twrp recovery.

Do you know what the boot.img files name is after extraction?
I have extracted all 3 update zips and cannot find anything called boot.img
By the way, thank you.. After updating magisk I have been dealing with failed recovery and failed boot for over a week and this is the first reply anywhere that looks promising

if you were on oreo. then there is not a boot.img, instaed there is seperate ramdisk.img and kernel.img.
i have all the files already extracted for oreo and a backup from nougat as well.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=265998
make sure you know what you are doing before flashing.
for example. on oreo the boot and recovery share one kernel image. SO if kernel is messed up you will not be able to boot "boot" or "recovery"

Alcatel 1x DEVELOPMENT: Kernel, TWRP, Pie ROMs, Guides

ALCATEL 1X Development Thread
TWRP and Kernel work is mine and is free for everyone to use, but I appreciate being credited.
System GSIs are created by Phhusson.
Guide for flashing with SP Flash Tool is mine, but the code and binaries are proprietary information from TCL/JRD Communication and may not be redistributed.
KERNEL - Based on latest Alcatel GPL source code that they released, compiled and packaged into a boot.img - bit . ly / 2Gc4XUN
TWRP - Custom built from source TWRP from my device tree. Most things work, no special partition support other than /vendor - bit . ly / 2EevCO7
TWRP device tree - Github: milankragujevic/android_device_alcatel_5059d (I can't post a link due to XDA restrictions for new users)
Stock rom for 5059D_RU - bit . ly / 2ruktBa (remove spaces, can't share link directly)
How to unlock bootloader?
Reboot into recovery (either hold Volume Up when booting, or adb reboot-recovery), go into bootloader mode (fastboot), and run fastboot oem unlock. Then confirm with the volume button and reboot the device. Please note, all data will be wiped.
How to flash kernel?
Reboot into bootloader and run fastboot flash boot boot.img and fastboot flash boot2 boot.img (you need to flash boot2 too, or else the phone will refuse to boot due to integrity and signature problem).
How to flash system or recovery
Reboot into fastboot and run fastboot flash [partition] file.img. For system, partition is "system", for recovery it's "recovery" (obviously).
How to flash with SP Flash Tool?
Flashing is similar to most other phones, except you need a special version of SP Flash Tool, and a custom DA, preloader, Auth file and of course the scatter file for this device (MT6739-based).
Download files from here: bit . ly / 2L7gwLX
In SP Flash Tool, select "DA_PL_U5A_PLUS_4G.bin" as DA, "MT6739_Android_scatter.txt" as Scatter and "JRD_6739_HZ_U5A_PLUS_4G.auth" as Auth file. If it doesn't work with that file, try "JRD_6739_A30ATMO.auth" as Auth.
Add some files, i.e. boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, vendor.img in the same folder as the scatter file.
Then, take apart the phone, disconnect the battery, click the start button in the software and plug the phone into the computer.
Treble GSI flashing
Most GSIs work, provided you download an arm A-only image.
Both Oreo and Pie work, but on Oreo there's a problem with sending and receiving SMS, calls and USSD codes, and mobile data.
On Pie, mobile data works intermittently, and SMS, calls and USSD works constantly.
LineageOS non-GSI
I'm working on building a LineageOS image specific for this device, which should fix all issues with MTK RIL.
WIP, comments and suggestions welcome. Standard disclaimers apply (NO WARRANTY PROVIDED, AT YOUR OWN RISK, etc. )
Downloading, will post results!!! Thanks!

Could it work with alacatel 1 (5033a)? It has the same chipset but differs in other characteristics.

Links are back, the server had failed and I moved the files to another datacenter which took 3 days.
Here's a MEGA link just in case, if this happens again: https://mega.nz/file/i3BhASJJ#pNzwAsflvcvdfr3pGzUfbNhe3fHUCnfyoAR_O4IsFAE
Hi again, does anyone of you know how to fix this error, im very scared that my phone wont show any screen again.
This is what happened: I tried to install Android 10 GSI and bootlooped so I went to TWRP and used my backup but from no reason the phone died during the backup and when I powered it on it vibrates but it doesnt show any image at all and takes a bit longer to vibrate.
The error on SP Flash Tool is STATUS_BROM_CMD_FAIL (0xC0060005). What do I do? When I try to flash it turns the LED on but then it turns off and turns on again but gives this error. If also there is a way to boot to bootloader directly tell me PLSS. Its Hard Bricked.

You did not flash correctly. The device isn't hard bricked, you have to turn it off (take it apart and disconnect the battery then reconnect it but don't turn on, keep the back cover off because you will surely need to repeat this many times), go to Options, Download and enable "Storage checksum" and "USB checksum", and then start flashing and then plug in the phone while SPFT is trying to flash. When SPFT starts flashing do not touch it, when it flashes the phone will reboot. You also need a proper stock ROM.
You can also just literally use the Mobile Upgrade S Gotu2 tool from Alcatel: https://mega.nz/file/DjpzTRDB#vC3SrO5hQr1Nzn32lWxVGLhmclfSpPF6CsIWHRaTsP8 and restore the stock ROM that way.
I cant with SP Flash Tool It gives the same error and with the other softwate it tels that i am at the latest version

You can, you are just doing it wrong. Check the checksum options I mentioned and retry.
Do i need to touch in any button before i flash? The other software why it tells that im on the newest version? What is the error about? I cant boot onto nothing it doesnt even show a screen but i will try harder

Yes, I clearly told you:
In SP Flash Tool: Go to Options, Download and enable "Storage checksum" and "USB checksum".
THEN flash.
I enabled but still no results. The button i was talking about is on the phone do i need to touch the phone or just put the usb?

unbrick Nokia 3.2

Hello together,
after many tries to get my nokia 3.2 rooted, i end up now with a black screen.
Only the Qulacomm mode is working.
Get anyone managed to flash the stock firmware with QFIL provided from the rooting thread?
I always end up with "sahara fails".
Every help is welcome!
Thanks!!!!
After many tries I have finally put my phone back to life.
My instructions how to do it will come soon!

please do, i encountered a similar problem.
HowTo Flash STOCK 00WW
1. Trigger nokia 3.2 to edl-mode (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/guide-how-to-trigger-nokia-3-2-to-edl-t3962841)
2. Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)
- This was the main problem. I never managed it to flash the image with the Windows Programmer QFIL. After more research in Internet, i found finally a Linux application called QDL that work directly without any problems. This application can be found here https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/guides/qdl.md.html .
- Flashing the software ends up into a bootloop. Also i got a message on startup that the bootloader could not be trusted anymore. After a software-update, this message disappears.
3. Flash all the user images again manually with fastboot.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
flastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Whyever you have to flash this partitions only to the active partitions without the suffix _a or _b.
Then the bootloop is finished.
The phone boots normally to Android ONE.
The next problem which occurs on my phone is now that it is not able to connect to GSM network. I guess this happens because i deleted all the necessary partitions for the modem (modemst1, modemst2, fsg).
I get it managed to restore the imei, but still no service available.
In original my phone had the software 00EEA. Perhaps they use different drivers. My luck is that i got a cheap damaged phone from ebay with that firmware.
My next step is to modify the code from QDL that it can read the partitions from the damaged phone and save the software to computer.
Then i will flash this software to my phone and look if this software will run on my phone!

Thank you for your reply, it seems that your problem is more complicated than mine.
I have a global variant with 00WW software and i attempt to root the phone. I successfully flash the patched boot.img and had root access. However wi-fi didn't work after that.
Since before flashing the patched boot.img my phone was running on a different firmware from the one that boot.img was extracted from, so i think that was the problem.
I attempted to use QFIL to flash my phone back to 00WW_15 and it failed half way, bricked my phone.
Normally you can use the EDL Mode every time.
My phone only showed black screen and it was always possible to connect in EDL Mode and flash again.
Did you try to flash again? What happens then?
Flash the given image from this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206)

What did you mean by Flash the given image ? Was it flash the firmware package with QFIL ?
My main problem is flashing, it always failed half-way and the error log reported that needed files were missing from the package.
Okay. I used the linux program QDL for flashing.
But i saw, that in the xml file rawprogram0.xml a few files are missing.
The linux programm jump over these files but perhaps QFIL do not.
For example is there a picture.img listed which is not available..
Try to remove them manually from the rawfile and test again.

Also the files "demoapp.img", "dp_AP_signed.mbn" and "dp_MSA_signed.mbn" are missing.
Remove them from the XML file and try again!

Hello,
my nokia 3.2 europe variant wont boot up its stuck in fastboot mode. What can i do to bring it back?
I get this: FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
P.S. if i do a fastboot reboot it boots back into bootloader
I also had this problems for many many times and don't know what went wrong when this happens.
The only thing that helped was flashing the complete firmware again in EDL-mode.
You can try first to flash only the 5 user-images with fastboot, which i mentioned before in this thread.
I uploaded this files for you, because you don't will find the europe files in internet yet.
Here is the link:
https://transfernow.net/81iti7q21s0s
Good luck!
Hi,
Thank you very much. Is this the complete Firmware? (All Images from Device) Another question: I couldnt Access the recovery System. Did you have the same Problem when your Nokia didnt boot up and was stuck in Bootloader? So is this normal that the recovery is unaccessible?
Yes, that also happens sometimes with my phone.
No, that are not all firmware files, which you need to do a full EDL-Flash.
But with this files you can first try a fastboot flash!
If it does not work, you can take all the other files from the Global-Stock-Firmware, given in the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/rooted-nokia-3-2-t3945206.
Delete the 5 files with the same names, flash the Global-Stock-Firmware in EDL-Mode, with QFIL or QDL, (without the 5 files) and in the following flash the 5 europe-image files with fastboot.
Thanks, ive sent it in and got Friday a 00WW Variant of the device back. I will upload those User images for 00EEA to my Google drive so that anyone who needs those files can download them

System partition is too small to install Google GSI system

Hi There!
I come to you with a request for help. Well, I wanted to install the GSI system straight from the Google website, but during the installation it turns out that my system partition is definitely too small.
Is there any way to properly install the IMG image straight from the Google site? Probably should enlarge the system partition, just HOW? I need the help of experts, and I know that at the XDA Forum I will find them.
Below you will need information:
- My device is Google Pixel XL (marlin),
- My phone supports Treble A and B updates,
- The system I wanted to install was the beta GSI Android 11 straight from the Google website,
- The recovery I used when trying to install the system: twrp-3.4.0-0-marlin.img from TWRP site,
- I also tried to install the system using CMD with ADB and fastboot,
- I have fastboot unlocked on my device,
- Information about too small partition also occurs when trying to install GSI Android 10,
- My device does not support fastbootd,
- LineageOS ZIP packages work normally and install without any errors,
- Updates from ADB sideload also load smoothly,
- Here is the link from where I got GSI Android 11 and 10: https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases#android-gsi-11,
I'm trying this also, credited the error to the system partition on marlin being 2gb and the system img on Google GSI being 2.1gb.
I know there's also an AOSP GSI which i downloaded from the same Google website and the image is 1.3gb if I'm not mistaken. I was able to flash this but phone wont boot. It will just bootloop on the Google with white background image and that's it.
I also tried downgrading to Android 8.1 factory image since I heard that another user got GSI Android 11 working coming from 8.1 but after trying this way I got the same bootloop error.
Solution
I was able to install Android 10 GSI on my Pixel, this method should work. You just need to reflash Android 9, see: https://forum.highonandroid.com/t/how-to-flash-android-10-gsi-roms-on-pixel-or-pixel-xl/217
I spent hours trying to figure this out but worked.

Question GSI wont boot after rooting phone - Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)

Hello everybody,
I have phone Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (2021)
I have succesfuly unlocked bootloader. I wish to use GSI installed via DSU Loader and i managed to boot default GSI room offered by system this way.
Also i have used app "DSU Sideloader" and succesfuly managed to boot lineageOS GSI.
The issue is when i root the phone. (classic boot.img extraction from stock rom, modification of the boot.img within Magisk aplication, than flash modified boot.img via adb tools)
After flashing modified boot.img i can no longer boot GSI, boot process will stop on MIUI screen. Stock ROM is working fine (rooted or not rooted)
When i flash original boot.img everything is working fine but phone is not rooted.
Is there any fix for this problem? I wish to have phone rooted AND use GSI
After countless hours of searching over internet i have not found topic related to this specific issue.
Also I have tried
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification boot boot.img
and modified vbmeta.img
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
no difference
But i have no idea what is holding back boot.... any help would be much appreciated
GSI related info:
Treble and VNDK - device supported
Architecture ARM64
A/B operating system
Dynamic Partitions
Talking about working GSI is there anybody which managed to install GAPPS on GSI installed via DSU? Is that even possible? how without twrp recovery?
i know that GSIs with preinstalled gapps exists i just want modular approach and install just google apps which i use.
I have found that resizing GSI system partition could help flash gapps via Ex Kernel Manager directly from the phone.
My big question is if you can resize GSI system partition without TWRP? since Note 2021 does not support recovery, if yes how?
Or can you actually set bigger system partition than system image with this command ? --el KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE $(du -b system_raw.img|cut -f1) \
(following manual steps for gsi installation)
adb shell setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_dynamic_system true
adb shell am start-activity \
-n com.android.dynsystem/com.android.dynsystem.VerificationActivity \
-a android.os.image.action.START_INSTALL \
-d file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/system_raw.gz \
--el KEY_SYSTEM_SIZE $(du -b system_raw.img|cut -f1) \
--el KEY_USERDATA_SIZE 8589934592
what would be number for 20GB size in this command? --el KEY_USERDATA_SIZE 8589934592 how i can write it correctly?
i have enough space to assign big userdata partition.

Nice work man. Surely makes life easier for many, but in my case:
I followed all of the steps. After the GSI installation i tapped on reboot on the notification field and it rebooted into fastboot. I can not enter the GSI aswell as the recovery. Only fastboot and MIUI ROM
I installed MIUI13 from official sources via ./flash_all.sh inside the MIUI13 Recovery folder some days ago. I've done this because i think i soft bricked my device or messed with the partitions before, because i tried to flash a system image directly to the 'super' partition, becasue no fastbootd.

thx mate,
asuming you are trying to do this on Note 8 2021
ensure that you have your bootloader unlocked and your original rom is NOT rooted. You can also before you do anything with GSI custom releases test official GSI which should be available to you via DSU (connect phone via wifi not data services)
Recovery is not supported for Note 8 2021 thats why i havent mess with it despite i would love to have it. Also in my case - recovery was not needed to load unofficial GSI (just pc with adb drivers and sdk platform tools latest version).
fastbootd is not required in this case either
in some cases modified vbmeta.img is required to make it work.
if you somehow soft-bricked your device try https://www.xiaomitool.com/V2/ that should help you recover back to normal state.

many thanks for your reply mate,
i managed to flash miui12.5 again with flah_all.sh with official sources fastboot ROM via terminal. now i have recovery again. my computer has the latest adb tools installed.
i tried your dsu loader method on miui12.5 again but sadly it says "installation failed". on miui13 it said "installation success" but could not boot into it. I'm a little bit confused rn lol. i tried the phh's AOSP arm64 AB vanilla and phh's AOSP arm64 AB VNDKlite vanilla
and yes, i have the 2021 biloba version of the note 8

After seeing your video I understand that you was able to fix your initial problem:
"The issue is when i root the phone. (classic boot.img extraction from stock rom, modification of the boot.img within Magisk aplication, than flash modified boot.img via adb tools)
After flashing modified boot.img i can no longer boot GSI, boot process will stop on MIUI screen. Stock ROM is working fine (rooted or not rooted)

It seem that you have been able to fix that problem, havent you? Have you had any problem using rooted GSI lineage? I am very insterested in rooting my phone using a GSI rom. I am going to follow your tutorial.
thanks
