Question S21 FE 5G Custom Rom - Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

Hi guys!
I bought a S21 FE 5G and noticed that it seems to let you unlock the bootloader, apparently unlike other Samsung phones? However I have not found a single tutorial on how to install a custom rom on the phone. From what I read there is a TWRP for the phone so I would guess that it should at least be possible to flash some GSI images. Is this correct or is there some reason why there are no GSI instructions for the phone even a year after the phone launched? Maybe some Samsung specific issues?
Any insights are appreciated.

Did you read my post? I was asking why there is no instruction on how to install custom roms, not where I can find GSI roms. Treble check tells me that S21 FE 5G does not support project treble. Can I still use GSIs?
Edit: Did not see your post, I was looking in S21 FE --> development

The Treble Check App I used tells me that my Device isnt Supported, but another says that it is.
I used some GSIs on my Device (PE+ and Evolution X) so it is possible.

Does 6.1 support Treble?

[UPDATE]
Confirmed to support Treble by "ali ba".
Hello all,
I've read lots of conflicting news about the support status of Project Treble in Nokia 6 (2018),
Can anyone confirm the support or the lack of it once and for all?
Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but every device launching with 8.0 has to support Treble does it not? I guess the problem lies with whether Nokia will provide the ability to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if it makes a difference that this is an Android One device in this respect.
Does anyone have an official firmware available for download? I have TA-1054, China version and it seems it has a custom firmware. Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the problem is the Chinese release was on Nougat, and nobody has yet ran the Treble flag test on the international version.. maybe because not so many hands got it yet... We'll wait..
According to the test app it does support Treble, but I'm not sure whether to trust it.
Came with an update out of the box and I didn't check the version before applying it (which would have made that clearer).

Thank you very much!!! finally some useful results, I think we can trust the app, but just to make sure, could you please follow the procedure described in this page.. more specifically the terminal flag test..

Also, do you own the Chinese device or the international one?

Here is a screenshot from Treble Check on Nokia 6.1
(TA-1043/Europe/Android 8.1 update/Shipped with Android 8.0)
Code:
$ adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled

Hi, same here. Do you have any news? Have you managed to install unmodified Android to your TA-1054? Will appreciate any info.
Thanks.

Nope, no news yet.
Can someone tell us the difference between all Nokia 6 2018 models please?
TA-1068
TA-1045
etc...
Is there a specific model for 'Worldwide' like Nexus/Pixel?
Is there a Europe version?
...

THANKS!
[Update]
Just noticed you actually did just that... Thanks.
I think this is an important topic that deserves it's own thread..
Would you care to start it?, also what models are sold in what markets?
That would be useful.
cheers.
Try to obtain the global firmware of TA-1054. I can provide you with the firmware.
I have two Nokia 6.1 devices. One is TA-1054 and the other is TA-1089. Both Global/International/Made in India version. I have the firmware files. But I doubt, you'll be able to flash them with the Stock recovery in your Chinese Variant. If you want the links, I'll provide you. And yes, Nokia 6.1 supports Treble. And I've recently flashed Android 11 GSI. Well, only issue was unlocking the boot loader to flash custom recovery. I never want to bootloader unlock any other Nokia phone anytime soon.
The TA-10xx naming determines the variant of the phone. The (4 + 64 GB) variant is TA-1089. The values change depending on the ram and storage size. Also newer models for the same phone we're released with Mediatek processors and Snapdragon for different markets. Just like Samsung does, sells the Exynos variant in Asia while selling the Snapdragon variant in US, UK, EUR, etc. Nokia also started doing this with their Nokia 5.1 and 5.3( if I recall correctly, not sure). So those phones have multiple variants. The TA-10XX naming scheme is quite similar to RM-xxx scheme followed by Nokia in the past, when Nokia was owned by Nokia and not HMD. In fact, their shift to TA-XXXX naming suggest that they belong to the family of Android/HMD owned Nokia and not the old Nokia. Even the 3310 (The beast) and 8110 4G have TA-XXXX product code instead of the RM-XXX. It's like a product code which can determine the RAM, Storage and Chipset as well as Region of the device.
So to flash Android R, TWRP or TWRP based custom recovery is required. Then flash any Android 10 Custom ROM with Treble support. Also flash dm no verify.zip with the ROM. Reboot to set up device. Don't add any Google account and password, etc. Then again boot into TWRP, changed to Image mode from zip mode in Install. Flash the system.img from Android 11 GSI.
Then reboot.
Follow the guidelines to unlock your bootloader

Download "Treble Check" from Google Play , it will show your phone's partition type.
Your device was shipped with Oreo so it should be compatible. Use the search function for install tutorial.

Never flash a rom not meant for your device...EVER! Roms are specific to one device and on occasion, multiple variants of the device, but not from one manufacturer to another.

Global = Huawei
AUM= Still Huawei
Huawei makes both phones. Same manufacturer.
Global is a variant. L20 is a variant.
So like I said, you May be able to flash L20 roms on a Global but I don't own the device so I don't know the specifics. You need to look at the release thread for a rom(or stock firmware as another example) and read the first post or look at the thread title to see if it lists multiple variants of the Honor 7.
In either case, your question is better asked in the honor 7 forums where people know more information about the device.

So,what if my phone supports project treble? And can I flash a twrp or red fox recovery available for the same chipset as my device,supported for another device,say redmi 3s.,this phone has the same qualcomm snapdragon 430 chipset.So talking about the recovery,it is supposed to work.,right?

Question Pen on Custom ROMs?

Do you guys think it will be possible to support the pen on custom ROMs? How does that work normally, is it some drivers that need to be installed, or would functionality be at a very low level such that with custom ROMs it wouldn't be possible or...?
By custom ROMs I mean Pixel Experience etc, not the Xiaomi EU MIUI crap.
There isnt any custom ROM for this device
The smart pen nor keyboard cover work with Treble GSI ROMs. The smart pen can be paired to a tablet running GSI, but no response from the tablet's display when using the pen. I'm guessing there is something in the MIUI ROMs for this tablet that allow allow the tablet and pen to work together (may be in all MIUI ROMS).
Hi, it's possible
I was wondering the same thing as well...
Really hope good ROMs are coming soon, the software experience is awful rn

Does it work well with this device ?

Daily driver for me. I tried PE12 but it was too buggy. Follow instructions to fix sound stutter, Bluetooth and 120 Hz.

I don't have a pen, yet.
No, the pen doesn't work on PE11 GSI or any other GSIs I tried. It's a real shame. Still for me PE11 is much better than MIUI.
Hi
If anyone here is really interested in getting custom ROMs for this tablet, I can try with you guys and hopefully I can get at least TWRP running.
I'll need some testers because I don't have the device

Question Any Treble/GSI support?

Hi, i will probably upgrade to this phone and I was wondering if there are any custom roms or treble support for this device?
At the moment there aren't any custom recoveries for this device, as a result there are no custom ROMS available for flashing.
As for GSI's, if you have your bootloader unlocked you could use this GSI sideloader: github.com/VegaBobo/DSU-Sideloader
However, I am currently in the process of building a TWRP for this device, so perhaps custom ROM's will be available in the future...
If you do use the sideloader, i recommend: https://github.com/ponces/treble_build_pe/releases/tag/v412-plus and https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-19.x/ for the latest android 12l/12.1

Custom ROMs?

Just wondering if anybody can help. Ive just bought an s20 plus, 2nd hand of course, & am considering putting TWRP or another recovery on. But, what Im asking is are there any custom roms, bearing in mind I have installed the latest fw android 13? I see BeyondRom, which I have tried before on s10 (& is very good btw) & Lineage 19.1, which I doubt would work on newer fw. Is there anything else out there, LOS based or AOSP?
Thanks for any response

Hi, you can also try Pixel Experience.
Thanks for this. So the only alternative to stock is a gsi ROM? Never seen this before, but I can understand if maybe its not a popular device
