I noticed that moment I updated my firmware (stock os) to february security patch i cant flash these gsi(havoc,evox etc.) When my firmware is on November spl i can easily flash these gsi without a bootloop.

I also noticed it only works for AOSP Gsi like Lineage,Pixel,

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kulot_:
Hey Guys. For those who experiencing bootloop. Here's what I done currently I can flash gsi's like Havoc Evo crDroid etc.

Format data then reboot to recovery

Install DM Verify, wipe dalvik then reboot to recovery.

Install GSI to system partition go to wipe, advance wipe,system, repair (error1) then resize then reboot again.

Install BitGapps reboot again to recovery.

Install Permissive v4

Install Rip Kernel

Done. If it may a long method. Just give it a shot. It works for me. Hopefully it works for you.

Hi physwizz,

One question:

What would be the procedure to flash a GSI (Android 10) update (for example, there is an update of the GSI provided by the developer)?

I am guessing, but maybe the procedure could be:

Backup Data only -> does this step (backup Data only) also apply for AOSP 10?

Reinstall GSI -> would it be necessary to perform steps e, f and g (from post #2 of this thread, for Android 10)?

Restore Data.

Regards

Hi,

I've noticed that with the Modded Magisk (by ianmacd) when I open Magisk Manager the app tries to check if there are updates available for Magisk and Magisk Manager but the app can be trying a very long time to find an update but nothing happens.

Is there a way to update Magisk Manager and Magisk via another procedure?

Thanks

The problem that I am experiencing with this GSI is that the phone restarts in the early morning (approximately between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.).

My questions are the following:

Is there a setting that should be changed in order to suppress the aforementioned behavior?

If there is not a setting, is there a method (logcat with ADB) to determine what is happening?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

My personal recommendation would be AOSP 10.0 (a GSI):

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases

You need to take care about root because the GSI comes with SuperUser root. My recommendation is to disable that root (vía Securize option) and install Magisk.

The GSI's XDA thread is this:

Updated gsi installation guide

1. Go back to stock ROM. Either using Odin or Twrp restore

2. Flash Twrp

3. Wipe data, cache and system

4. Install gsi on system partition

5. Install Magisk

Other steps

1. Install Minhker kernel and Magisk 19.3

2. Or install A20 quantum v1 kernel by Shumwayy with Magisk 20.4 support

Notes

1. Eureka kernel will cause bootloops.

2. Stock kernel works fine.
