I started fiddling even more with installing GSI-A partitions roms into the Ulefone Armor 6 as of today. Here's how you install GSI-A roms. I have tried roms from Android 8-10 official & unofficial. Lineage, RR, Pixel Experience, & etc...

Disclaimer:

I am not responsible if you damage, brick, or willingly alter your phone in any way shape or form blah blah blah, you get the point.

I did not fully test with 100 certainty these GSI-A roms below. Even the ones below that I did test have many bugs/issues. The ones below were the ones that booted correctly for me. Test at your own discretion. Some of these roms wont have SU & GAPPS.

Prerequisites:

Make sure you have an unlocked bootloader.

Make sure your phone has, TWRP installed.

Make sure you have drivers installed, here.

Fastboot & ADB tools, here.

Rom's I've tested & boot on Armor 6:

Android 10

1. (AOSP) Android 10 by phhusson

2. PixelExperience 10.0 BETA by ExpressLuke

3. Havoc OS 3.0 by ExpressLuke

Android 8

4. Resurrection Remix by phhusson

Any other GSI-A roms being supported can be found here, feel free to try out your own if you feel like it.

Installation:

1. Place your device in, "Fastboot mode"

2. Open up command prompt (cmd) on your computer, cd into the folder where fastboot & adb is in, and type, "fastboot erase system"

3. Now flash the GSI-A image to your Armor 6 system partition. "fastboot flash system (what ever your system name).img"

4. This following command will format userdata & cache. "fastboot -w"

5. Last but not least step using fastboot, is to reboot your device. "fastboot reboot"

Now, pay attention.

When you flash the system image to your device, it only flashes the minimum data size that comes with the image. You have to reboot into TWRP, Resize /data partition & format to EXT4 to get the full 128GB partition size.

6. Boot into TWRP. To do this, power off the device and press both the, "Power button + Volume up button" at the same time during which you should see the bootloader menu. To move between options to have to press the volume up, until you are hovering over, "recovery" option. Then press volume down, to select recovery and boot into it.

7. Select the, "wipe" option.

8. Select & check mark, "Data" first, then secondly, select, "Repair or change file system."

9. Resize the data partition.

10. Now change the file system format, to, "EXT4"

Now reboot the phone

That's all there's to it. Not all GSI-A images will work, if they don't work, the developer of that GSI-A has to make it so. Good luck.
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
thanks dude, are roms working without bugs? mobile network and gps working?

Weekend I will try to install the Ressurection Remix or Pixel Experience (10), I'm still in doubt rsr, and bring news if it's working well with me. thanks!
[Android General] Pergmen:
What is the current method we are using to bypass dm-verity?

Thanks a ton for your work.
[Android General] Extosis:
I format the partitions to ext4 and flashed the dm-verity zip. I'll send you the link once I get home.
[Android General] Extosis:
The AOSP 10 by phh, has a bug that I came about, that my computer couldn't detect my Armor 6 device. So unless you have a wireless app, you cant transfer files locally as of this version.

Pixel Experience has a bug, that you have to register your device as a custom rom with google. Otherwise the device can't download Google Play Store apps. I am currently running this version. I'm testing it more. I didn't test Havoc completely, but it doesn't come with Google Play Store.
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
oh, so I'm going to test Remix 9.0, I need USB working to test applications I develop.
[Android General] Pergmen:
Unlocked the bootloader (After flashing to stock once) and flashed the following roms. Device is 6E:

PixelExperience

Resurrection Remix

UltraSuccRom

Bootloop on every one. All were ARM64, A bootable.

Interestingly, I couldn't get TWRP to boot/stick this time, either. Perhaps the official image is different? I have flashed to stock again and will go through the process of obtaining root. I will report back if flashing recovery with the TWRP app is successful.

[Update] TWRP installed through the TWRP app and can be booted through adb. I was able to successfully bypass DM-Verity. Attempting to boot into TWRP using key combinations apparently results in a system hang. I Will attempt flashing images with TWRP next.

[Update 2] No success with TWRP or Fastboot. Returning to stock...
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
does anyone have a link to dm verity to armor 6? thanks
[Android General] Extosis:
My guide is for the Armor 6.

If I am not mistaken, I believe the Armor 6E has an A/B partition scheme. You can always check with the Treble Checker app on stock OS.
[Android General] Pergmen:

Unless it's wrong.
[Android General] poohju:
Use A/B treble check gives A forsome reason but A ones dont work..
[Android General] Extosis:
Try, an GSI-A/B.

Let me know how it goes.
[Android General] Pergmen:
View attachment 4868641

Yep, Treble Checker was wrong. The Armor 6E is a/b. Thank you once again.
[Android General] Extosis:
Nice! I'm so glad it worked! :D
[Android General] miklaw:
Have you found any ROMs with working speakers? I haven't found any where the ringer or speaker is working.
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
Well, RRemix of this link was just the "bios screen", did I do something wrong?

I was able to install the latest Pixel Experience BETA and apparently it is working, I will test it in the next few days, USB is working normally.

update:

Not working NFC, Google Chrome, Rear Speaker, instagram and facebook videos lock the image and only play the audio.
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
Apparently the player is muted, I'm afraid of rebooting entrat in boot loop.

Has anyone tested the latest PixelXp and rooted?

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

I'm also without audio.

[MENTION=6267533]Extosis[/MENTION], which system are you using?

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
Anyone tested the latest havoc 3.0?

updates:

-PixelExperience 10 ExpressLuke 28-10-2019:

fluid, a more stable, speaker does not work, nfc does not work, bluetoth works, headset works, insta / face videos only plays audio, some apps do not work, is the best I have tested;

-PixelExperience 10 ExpressLuke 16-10-2019:

unstable, not registered with play protect, speaker doesn't work, headset doesn't work, crashed and couldn't test anymore;

-Havoc 3.0 latest 10-11-2019;

fluid, less stable than pixel, no gapps, nfc apparently works, no speakers;

-RRemix phhuson gapps:

it's just the ulefone boot screen

-Evolution, Havoc2..9 and RRemix 7.0.3:

bootloop

I could not download any rom hosted on GitHub, very bad server, but I am going back to Stock while not updating update for PixelXP, I could not boot any rom from android 9 and all that flashed openGapps bootloop

edit:

If you are testing and finding solutions, please give feedback.

any android pie working well?
[Android General] Pergmen:
Are all Armor 6 devices without sound or only some? The 6E has sound on both AOSP and PixelExperience, if that information helps at all with figuring out the problem.

Observed issues with GSI images for 6E users (Tests ended November 9th):

-Spazzy GUI elements, specifically gifs and videos embedded in apps (It's pretty funny though)

-Extremely inaccurate battery charge reporting (Especially on PixelExperience, possibly unsafe)

-Cannot receive incoming calls (I'm on Verizon's network, which shouldn't be working to begin with, so your mileage may vary)

-Only boots once. Clearing the data partition is necessary to boot again.

-Screencasting (Doesn't work on stock either)

Observed working:

-Bluetooth audio

-Graphics processing unit

-Storage access on Windows over USB

-External Speaker and headphone output

-Camera and flash (Makes an audible click when closing on both GSI roms and stock. Strange.)

-All Play Store apps (That I tested)

-SMS, outgoing calls

The more information we have out there, the closer we get to... whatever we're trying to accomplish. Best of luck everybody.
[Android General] Extosis:
That actually helps guide me in the right direction, thanks!
[Android General] SMAAALLL BR:
In Amor 6 this also happens, only starts once, restarting gives bootloop
[Android General] Max R.:
exFAT

Hello, does the Ulefone Armor 6E support exFAT with phhusson's or other ROMs? Do those images contain a kernel, or just use the stock kernel, which may not support exFAT?
[Android General] Eisen2:
No Sound

Hi everyone,

I have tested some GSIs on my Armor 6.

And since Oreo the sound problem was.

I have tried Resurrection, OmniRom, Pixel, Havoc, Erfan, Evolution, Descendant, AOSP, Lineage, StagOS.

In all the problem is the sound, without sound the mobile is not operational.

The GSI ROMs go well, very well, but if they do not solve the sound, we only have Stock.

Hi, I will appreciate advice on the process to Root and install TWRP on Armor 5?

Thank you for answering this difficult question. :)
[Android General] 539:
Managed to get the phone running. However, there is no network coverage., no sim card. Do i update baseband or kernel?

Device is Armor 5 with working LineageOS 15. 16 and 17 does not boot. Help will be greatly appreciated!
[Android General] Eisen2:
Boot Lineage

Hi. I also have an Armor 5. If you want to boot Lineage, don't root it, install only twrp, and through Fastboot install the GSI (ARM64-A).
[Android General] Teconpl:
Thank You

Really, sincerely, Thank You

I was fighting with my phone 2 nights, one recovery to stock (i need it during day :P)

But now I got Android 10. working.

Armor 6E user here. I can't get TWRP to install. I can only ever get it to work after installing from APP and then rebooting once.

I've tried phhh ASOP GSI roms android 9,10,11 and get them to connect to wifi. I've tried several other roms and it's the same thing.

I'm pretty sick o fmy Armor 6E and the freezing screen and slow softkeyboard.

Always snapdragon is a step forward, probably nothing notizable for you. In exynos there irs more rom support btw.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ThomaSEK:
Snapdragon as Hong Kong variant. Then you do not have to decide between performance or root because you have both :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
performance all day. i thought that i would miss root, but i really dont. As long as the phone can do 90% of what i want it to do, im good. Losing SPay and SHealth is another fault of root ATM. Until that gets 100% patched and so forth, i wouldnt even touch root right now. I enjoy paying for stuff with my watch waaaaay too much to give that up just for root
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] robocopvn:
Go all in for the snapdragon variant, if you wish to use the custom ROM in the next few years. Based on my own experience, the Snapdragon version always has more support!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] geekhunt:
Snap is better just go with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ThomaSEK:
You are right, you loose some Samsung specific features with root. But there is almost always a fix or at least an alternative. Instead of Samsung Pay I use (fixed) Google Pay. And Samsung Health also works, you only have to spend two minutes to change a value in a single file with a file explorer app. For everything you find tutorials here on XDA. Okay, maybe you have to spend some effort in these things at the beginning, but I think it's worth the root because with root I win much more cool things than I loose. And personally, I can go without Samsung stuff like Knox or Secure Folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
right on man. just curious, what do people use root for these days? i have seemingly lost its value for the current state of nearly November in 2019.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ThomaSEK:
Personally, I use it for things like TitaniumBackup, debloating and EdXposed (Gravity Box, Xinsta,...). These are enough reasons for me to root.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] uPrizZ:
Hello guys,

so my phone fell down the freaking roof - don't ask :laugh: Of course the screen was completely cracked, but the phone still kind of worked. Touching the fingerprint sensor with a wrong finger made the phone vibrate and I could even talk to the phone via Google and it answered me. ("Hey google, what time is it?"). So I assumed, replacing the screen might completely repair my phone. But before buying a new Screen, I wanted to disassemble the phone, to check the inside.

Everything looked fine until I noticed the following two issues on the MB:

On the upper image: Take a look on the 3 (I think antenna?) connectors. One of them broke off.

Lower image: The connector for the side buttons broke off. Or is it normal like that?

So is this repairable or should I just buy a new phone? Thank you very much...
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
if repair cost worth more than xiaomi A3 or Note7pro

then buy new one
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mar-cel:
It looks normal

Gesendet von meinem GM1913 mit Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
I'd suggest you pick up a replacement screen (€15 or so on AliExpress) and have a pop at it yourself. I had to take mine apart a few weeks ago to do a simple repair - was surprised it was as straightforward as it was

I'd been quoted €80 by a local repair shop - I did the job myself in less than an hour

YouTube vid here was helpful https://youtu.be/LlubcWbsSQk

Have to say, I can't see anything broken around the antenna connector, but I couldn't be sure
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] uPrizZ:
Sorry it is hard to see. I should have marked it. What I mean are the 3 metal "hooks" which are supposed to press against the black plastic cover which is mounted on top of the mainboard (when assembled... the plastic cover cannot be seen in the photo, because I removed it). If you look closely, the upper one of the three connectors broke off, the two lower ones are intact. Is that the antenna for mobile network or WiFi? I have the fear that when I get a new display I see that the network isn't working anymore. Then it would be a waste of money for the new screen...

And yes I'd definetly do the replacement on my own. It's not that hard. Question is just if it is worth to buy the display, or if that damage on the connector is unfixable.

EDIT: I updated the pictures above. It should be clearer now what I mean

Could you recheck on the new pictures? Do you still say it is normal? Can I buy the display?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Ok, I think I get you now, and I think I have good news

If I remember correctly the mobile antenna connector is located toward the opposite end of the motherboard - by which I mean the corner out of shot in your second photo, so you're ok in that respect

Even better news, have a look at the photos on the following link:

https://vrm24.com/instructions/xiaomi/xiaomi-xiaomi-pocophone-f1/xiaomi-xiaomi-pocophone-f1

You'll notice in the pics from step 6 on (after the motherboard plate is off) that those 3 parts look just the same as yours - I don't think yours are broken

Also the connector for the side buttons looks fine - I remember you need to be very careful when reassembling that you don't trap them and snap the connecting ribbon

So hopefully it is just the screen that's knackered and you can fix it for pennies

I've read on here of people finding replacement screens all have different colour reproduction, but presumably that's something you can recalibrate within MIUI settings

Good luck with it

By the way, if you can activate Google assistant, can't you just ask it to place a call, or Google something (with your router off, obv) to check that the mobile signal is intact?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] uPrizZ:
Thank you for the link. The three connector hooks which connect to the plastic cover indeed look fine. I don't know about the side buttons though. I assembled it back together again (without the display) and was able to start the phone. I was unable to change the volume of google assistants voice through the side buttons though. The side button connector is loosely placed above the MB and only pushed onto the MB by the plastic cover, unlike all the other connectors (LCD, Battery etc.) which snap into the mainboard.

Also thank you for the tip with assistant. I was actually able to test the torch and also both cameras by saying "Take a photo" or "Take a selfie". I could see the photos in the google cloud a few minutes later and they look fine.

However I was unable to test mobile network connectivity. Disabeled wifi, put the SIM Card back in and tried to let the assistant send a text message. It only says "Sorry I couldnt do that because your mobile data is turned off". And after saying "Turn mobile data on" the device remains silent.

I think I'll get an LCD + frame from aliexpress (20€) now and also a new loudspeaker module (6€), because the voice sounds a little distorted. Hopefully that will fix the phone
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
Just to say, the mobile antenna connector on mine was pretty fiddly - I put the phone together and had to reassemble it after finding I had no signal because it wasn't correctly placed
