And this should work with android 10 gsi?

Edit: nevermind, it looks like somethings just wrong
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PCrazee:
The last TWRP he linked works. It's also linked in OP. At least the recovery starts, I just didn't get any Android 10 ROMs to run, yet.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Laurisss:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/downloads/permissiver-v5-for-android-10-gsi/

Maybe we need permissiver to boot? I read that for some gsi's it's needed to boot.. After flashing the gsi (which takes like 4 secs, strange?) I boot directly too fastboot. Not even a bootloop, seems like the img is not flashing properly..

Could you try flashing aosp 10 gsi via fastboot?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
Interestingly enough I ended up installing the same ROM on my Mi 8 Pro last night, for whatever reason my display has stopped acting up ever since I reflashed MIUI 10 and I could experiment some more. I can confirm that ROM is working fine. It also allows to enable Xiaomi Double-Tap-To-Wake which my AOSiP build didn't support, I guess it must be based on a newer Phh-Treble Vanilla build.

As it stands, I'm not sure there are any GSI Android 10 ROMs out there that will boot. The problem is Phh-Treble 10 doesn't seem to be working for our devices - at least you can't get it to work using the method that worked for Phh-Treble 9. And since pretty much all custom GSI ROMs seem to be based on the Phh build, I don't see this working out for us just yet.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
I have a growing feeling that some additional step is definitely missing for Android Q. I have no idea what it is, some people say you need a special vendor image, some people say that a stock vendor image is needed, some posts describe a vbmeta.img that should be flashed, but that seems to be device-specific and it wasn't an issue with the Pie ROMs. Well, if anyone is willing do run some experiments, let us know if you get any closer to getting any ROM booting. I would start with getting AOSP 10 (Phh-Treble Vanilla) working and then take it from there.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Laurisss:
As I said, when flashing the gsi it takes about 3-4 secs. For nearly a 1gb file to flash in seconds is strange.. right? Does it take longer to flash android 9 gsi's?

Does anybody know if AOSP 9 phh latest build works ? Also , can I just downgrade to android 9 from android 10 via your Mi flash tool?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
It takes my phone 182 seconds to do step 1 (Flashing MIUI 10.2.20) and about 14 seconds to flash ArrowOS (Android 9).

Your question has already been answered.

If you want to, try out the latest AOSP GSI ROM (Phh-Treble / Android 9) and let us know how it goes.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Laurisss:
That means the flashing of android 10 gsi's is the problem.. it doesn't flash properly
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Laurisss:
Latest AOSP 9 build (123) boots. I used the V11.0.5.0.PECMIXM firmware, as it's the latest one
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
Thanks for letting us now, that must have worked because 11.0.5.0.PECMIXM is Android-9-based (for whatever reason, 11.0.3.0.QECMIXM is Android-10-based).

I will add this information to the guide.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Laurisss:
[MENTION=453826]nealed[/MENTION] [MENTION=1044462]yo-less[/MENTION] is there anyway we can find out why android 10 gsi isn't flashing properly? As I said multiple times , the flash takes 3-4 secs(would be nice if someone confirmed this) which is way too fast and that means it doesn't even flash.. are we just at a dead end?

EDIT: Asked on telegram what could be the issue and a guy told me to flash with fastboot. I will try it but don't know when.

Also, with mi 8 you cant restore full twrp backup because you brick, what partitions can be restored without brick? Does anyone here actually usee twrp backup?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
It doesn't look like anyone owning a Mi 8 Pro and active on the boards here seems to be knowledgeable enough to give you an informed answer. I can, however, tell you two things:

The amount of time it takes to flash a system image doesn't tell you much about whether a flashing process has been successful or not. Flashing AOSP 9 hardly takes any time at all on my Mi 8 Pro and yet it's working flawlessly.

It took me weeks to find a combination of custom Pie ROMs and stock Pie ROM images that would work together. Many of the Pie GSI ROMs still don't work on the Mi 8 Pro and probably never will. It's a combination of finding the right stock ROM images so that, for example, your vendor image enables you to flash a GSI system on top of it. It is entirely possible that, as time goes by, another stock ROM image will make booting GSI 10 ROMs possible on our device. If anyone has some more informed insights they can share with us, feel free to do so.

You can't just move between ROMs and expect to restore a Nandroid backup ("TWRP backup"). If you change the underlying system, you're completely messing things up with a Nandroid restore. Think of a Nandroid backup as creating an image of your phone the way it is when you back it up. You can later restore your phone to that exact state by restoring your backup. It's like an Android time capsule that you can go back to when you experiment with your phone and can't reboot into your system afterwards. It is not meant to be restored to a different system or phone or on top of a different custom ROM.

You can, however, use Titanium Backup to restore apps and their data from a Nandroid backup to move between ROMs. To do so, you go to the Titanium Backup menu and choose the option: "Extract from Nandroid Backup". I've been most successful in those cases where I'd restore an app from a Titanium Backup backup and then restore the data from a Nandroid backup on top of the restored app.

Here's some background reading.

If you want to flash it,you can just download the rom from GitHub and the link is here https://github.com/EnesSastim/Downloads/releases

But here is a important thing you need to do,you must flash it with another zip file by twrp otherwise your phone will cannot be booted and here is the zip file download links https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jXRsae6PnHXfwgF0M02wrutVfAajOyIs/view?usp=sharing

No offense, but everything is laid out in my first two posts, I've put a lot of work into making it as comprehensive as I can and at the same time accessible, so I'm not sure if you even took a moment to read it.

Anyway, here is all the information again - this is the Android 9 setup I'm currently running:

Stock ROM I started out with: V11.0.5.0.PECMIXM

AOSP : AOSP v123 (Without Google Apps)

Recovery: TWRP 3.3.1-0607 (Firedance Edition)

As for the Android 10 TWRP, someone has already sent you the same information, but it's also clearly laid out in the first post:

It was working fine with the currently only available Android 10 MIUI version (V11.0.3.0.QECMIXM) and its Android 10 support is even spelled out when you boot it, it shows "MI 8 UD" (Chinese name for the MI 8 Pro) and then "10".

It's not working with Android 9 - but for Android Pie you can use TWRP 3.3.1-0607 (Firedance Edition) as linked above - it has given me great results.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yo-less:
That's some great information, thank you, I have just set up everything on my phone and I'm pretty reluctant to go through reflashing everything again just yet. I couldn't get Pixel Experience to run at all but I also never tried to enable the permissive mode.

Does anyone know what it is about the Pixel Experience ROM that makes the permissive mode necessary?

And also, isn't that pretty shaky from a security perspective?

Android 10 works on Mi 8 PRO !!!

I have find The AOSP V215 works on the Mi 8PRO but it have some bugs.It has the screen display problems it always show a green circle maybe the Fingerprint recognition module I think and when you try to touch the screen under the green circle it becomes very difficult.( I have communicated with the developer of this rom and he let me reboot my phone.After reboot,the green circle problem has been solved. )If you want to try it.There is an important thing you should notice .As the developer said (here is what he said: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+.)

I flash the GSI for A/B devices and succeed boot my phone.So we can just choose the arm64-ab rom and flash it.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] CoolJL:
Thanks a million! Manage to get latest aosp 219 running. Had a little bit of trouble, for anyone interested this is how I did it:

-Started with miui V11.0.5.0.PECMIXM and TWRP 3.3.1-0607

-Install above MIUI 12 20.5.21 (actually used the lastest one) using TWRP, but DO NOT RESTART to system, need to install aosp staight away!

-Go back to Advanced Wipe in TWRP and delete "Davik, Data, Cache, System".

-Now Install lastest aosp (219) as image (make sure it a/b image NOT a-only).

-Now restart to system

It should boot to the system. Once you get to android set up screen, restart to Fastboot and install TWRP 3.3.2 for android 10.

So far most things work fine except the auxiliary (telephoto) camera at the back, which is a big downer for me. If anyone knows how to get that working I'd very much appreciate it.

Also many thanks to yo-less and others who's contributed to this.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] CoolJL:
Tried Havoc and CAOS and they both work also.

On a side note, once you have installed AOSP (or other GSI) roms and you can simply switch the roms using TWRP. Simply delete "Dalvi, Cache, System" in Advanced Wipe, then install whichever GSI image you want. Not deleting "Data" allows you to keep app that were previously installed.

When you installed MIUI 12 - which TWRP did you use?

You mention starting with TWRP 3.3.1-0607 - so I assume you flashed MIUI 12 with that TWRP -as you don't mention using the one mentioned in the post.

I cannot get the recovery-TWRP-3.3.2B-0301-XIAOMI8UD-CN-wzsx150.img to boot on my device. Trying again after reflashing MIUI 11.0.5

Hi, yes TWRP 3.3.1-0607 on miui 11.0.5 (Android 9) to flash MIUI 12. Don't boot into MIUI12 as I mentioned, (got into problems installing GSI rom), instead stay on TWRP and install aosp (or Havoc, CAOS) straight away, make sure its A/B image.

You need to use A/B partition Roms. Don't use A only.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BYRMN13:
To use A/B, i need to have 2 separate partition in other words i need and SD card as my second storage right? is it really gonna affected the success rate of installing GSI ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eremeya:
Normally yes but for some reason in order to get GSI Roms to work on this device you need to use the A/B Roms even though this is a single partition device.

Using A/B Roms will allow the device to actually boot. Most A/B Roms should work while very few A only Roms boot.

This is all based on what I have read and I have not actually installed a GSI rom on my device.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Here is a copy paste...

The company wants to make it easy for Pixel users to find all of their possible customization options in one place. That place will be found in the Pixel Launcher where a "Styles & Wallpapers" shortcut will be located. Opening the shortcut will reveal a pair of tabs, one for wallpaper options and the other for theme options.

According to 9to5Google, the Pixel 4 will have four theming options compared to just one available for the Pixel 3. Users will be able to put together their own theme by tapping on the "Custom" button to create a font. The second step is to pick an icon design that will be used for quick settings and the status bar. There is only one design for the Pixel 3, but there will be up to three for the Pixel 4. Eight system accent colors options are expected to be available and after selecting one, the Pixel user chooses the shape of the icons for the app drawer. The last step is to name the theme. And the app will allow for customization of the lockscreen clock and other parts of the Android 10 operating system.

End copy paste...

What I get out of this is that the themes may be tied into the launcher which is too primitive for my use. With any luck we'll still be able to hook it with a custom activity or the information is not fully correct and it will be available in settings or some other location.
