[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Romano2K:
Hi mientus25! I'm sorry if you bricked your smartphone trying to flash it. I think the --disable-verity option not working was a matter of platform tools (adb) version.

Starting from a Stock ROM, Bootloader Unlocked, I took the following steps to flash and boot an Android 10 GSI to my HTC U12+:

Go to Settings > System and perform a factory reset

Reboot in the Bootloader by

adb reboot bootloader

Delete the system and data partition by

fastboot erase data

and

fastboot erase system

Flash the nonverity vbmeta image via

fastboot flash vbmeta nameofvbmeta.img

(the vbmeta image must be in the fastboot folder on your computer)

Flash the GSI via

fastboot flasch system nameofgsi.img

(the GSI must be in the fastboot folder on your computer)

Reboots the HTC U12+ into Download Mode and perform another Factory Reset

Reboot and enjoy

If /data still can't be read, do another Factory Reset from settings menu

Wiil this work with the U12+???
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
It may work for GSIs with a fixed verity status. Thus it doesn't work for some Android 10 GSIs without flashing a noverity vbmeta as. Thus I decided long ago, to never recommend such tools, and not to help people who used one, as those using such tools most of the time didn't even care learn the basics of adb and fastboot. I can't remember anyone, who used a tool, who's ever been fully capable to identify potential problems and errors, let alone how to solve them. And the latter is the baseline to start modding a device.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GaetanoS.89:
Hello,

I have unlocked the bootloader yesterday, and I was having a look to your steps, and I noticed you are not using TWRP. Are you doing everything by CMD right?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GaetanoS.89:
Hello I am trying to follow all the steps on the guode, but when I have to flash the vbmeta file from Bootloader Mode I am getting this:

C:\Users\User\Desktop\ADB2>fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification

Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 0

Sending 'vbmeta' (4 KB) OKAY [ 0.004s]

Writing 'vbmeta' FAILED (remote: 'Not allowed on PRODUCTION device')

fastboot: error: Command failed

If I try to install the vbmeta from Download Mode I am getting this error
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Yes I'm doing everything from CMD indeed. Always do so, as long as it is possible.

[MENTION=429842]Romano2K[/MENTION] vbmeta can't be flashed via fastboot on S-On/production devices. It has to be flashed as update.zip from TWRP. It should be mentioned anywhere.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GaetanoS.89:
So how do I have to proceed??

9. From a computer, launch a terminal, change directory to the platform tools folder, then execute "fastboot erase system"

10. Then execute "fastboot flash system <your_gsi.img>"

11. Execute "fastboot reboot bootloader"

And after?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Which software version are you running!?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GaetanoS.89:
I was running Android 9 stock. After a few trials I have been able to install and boot the Pixel Experience and the permessiver and everything seems to work without flashing the vbmeta file
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mfuerni:
I managed to install PixelExperience, too.

I reset everything (RUU + 2 OTAs to Pie), flashed PixelExperience 20200118 and Permissiver using temp booted TWRP, and - after some tries - it worked.

I had no success with other GSIs (AOSP 10, Havoc-OS).

I fixed the problem with the not working brightness control as described in the Github issue by executing the following on root shell:

setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness 255

But unfortunately, my original HTC USB-C headset does not to work. Sound is still played by the loudspeaker. Although, if I use a USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter, it works. Does anyone have the same issue?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lovelas1988:
Hi, does the rom have problems with the speaker as in Android 9? Did any of you perform voice call in speaker mode and on the other side is it good to hear your voice?

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mfuerni:
I haven't tried Stock Pie, but I haven't noticed issues with the speaker mode in my Android Q GSI (PixelExperience).

I don't exactly know what you mean, but the flash/flashlight works for me without any problems. The notification LED does not work at all, as mentioned in the Github issues.

Problems compared to latest stock Oreo:

just the main front and back camera works (2 out of 4 cameras)

EdgeSense does not work

graphical glitches, especially in landscape orientation

HTC headset does not work

notification LED does not work

brightness goes up before it dims on timeout

TWRP decryption does not work

not stable, random crashes (system halts), e.g. when switching apps during watching a video

If this is suitable for everyday life, depends on your fault tolerance. :D

I try to use it for everyday life since some days ago. Time will tell how long i use it. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

If you would like to downgrade to Stock Oreo, this is the wrong thread for you.

You need a RUU and maybe some OTAs from the following thread, it includes a tutorial in the 3rd post: https://xdaforums.com/u12-plus/how-to/collection-htcu-u12-ruu-firmware-t3794664

If you really like to use a GSI, why do you want to use an Android 8 GSI? A lot of them seem to be outdated. Use Pie or Q GSIs.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] joe-khalil:
what do you get from a gsi?

and do you what to flash it instead of the stock rom?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
A GSI is a Custom ROM delivered as system.img. Thus everyone who loves tinkering an modding his/her device might be interested in flashing such a GSI.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Groby:
How are updates and security patches handeled? Are they received via OTA, or at least is it possible to install them manual? As the U12+ stucks in A9, SecLevel July 2019 (written to HTC support, and they answered July 2019 is the latest, but does not explain is it just the actual latest or the latest that will ever exist) I'm really interrested on updates, but won't install every time a complete new image, because several SecApps are installed and have to be registered every time again on the hosts.

How to set up some app sensitive content and show others app notifications on lock screen? :confused: i cant find on settings.

It's a "little" hidden :)

System settings -> Apps & notifications -> Notifications -> Select app with recently shown notifications -> Select notification channel/type (e.g. Gmail - Email) -> Advanced -> change "on lock screen" behavior as desired

or

System settings -> Apps & notifications -> Select app from the list of all apps -> Notifications -> Select notification channel/type (e.g. Gmail - Email) -> Advanced -> change "on lock screen" behavior as desired

Clicking on the notification channel name is not very intuitive as there is already a checkbox.. Took me a while to realize that it offers two functions :)

Hi people!

A lot of time went by where I wasn't doing anything android related what so ever.

This week I installed minecraft on my x96 mini android box (running android 6.0.1) and some other games and have been playing them with my Xbox 360 controller.

After browsing this forum I even got the wireless gamepad running.

My daughter likes playing minecraft so I thought I would install it on my old MXII clone android box (with a g18REF board) that's running android 4.2.2 .

Installing the game went fine and even got to play on it.

So next step was playing it with an xbox 360 controller (wired) but that's where I ran into problems.

The controller works in the menu (android launcher), even works in minecraft....but....the L and R shoulder triggers are not.

This means I can't MINE or PLACE objects with the controller which render the game unplayable.

Then I realised I had to play around with key layouts on my other box to get the wireless gamepad working as it should, as I found in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792531&nocache=1

But no matter what I do, I can not get the shoulder buttons to work in any game.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for android 4.2.2 which makes the shoulder buttons work so my daughter can play minecraft on this device?

To root Android as 1st thing of all things these requirements must be achieved

Next step is to install the USB-driver matching your device

Then check you can access phone from PC via USB

adb devices

and that boot-loader can get unlocked

adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported"

and if returned value=1 verify that you can deal with phone's boot-loader

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices

Next step is to boot into phone's boot-loader, and unlock it WHAT WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE

fastboot OEM unlock
fastboot reboot

At last step you flash the software that will add root to Android

adb devices
adb sideload <ROOTING-SOFTWARE-ZIP>
adb reboot

we should create guides in XDA how to install drivers on PC

as this is common hardship for many.

most preferably some autoinstaller of all drivers, for all devices (taken from manufacturers)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallrony:
No, that's not the problem. Fastboot commands run only when the device's in bootloader device.

So, i solved to persist and search many ways to see something. And that, i got in recovery menu (with Restart System, Wipe, Start ADB sideload - but without connection with PC, as a not connected device, the connection isn't stablished because adbd is a not found command from device shell, in the log returns that, and system wait more or less of 5 minutes to back to recovery menu). In that, i could see the recovery logs, and the last is the normal procedure of a factory reset, i think. In that i encountered some properties that are defined by default:

ro.boot.flash.locked=1
ro.treble.enabled=true
ro.bootloader=unknown

ro.product.name=mmh551m_f

And by peace of mind, i run

adb shell "getprop ro.bootloader"

on PC terminal with adb and that returns me the "unknown" that i see in the log. Running

adb shell "getprop"

returns all prop of the system, so that can be examined to make something. So... I tried to change property using setprop, like ro.boot.flash.locked to 0, or ro.bootloader to any value, but no success.

And to finalize, in contact with LG support whatsapp, the ChatBot returns me a message saying that the bootloader function isn't available by secure reasons.

I think that the value was simply hided from the original value to not access the bootloader, but it's in device 🤔... But with no permission to change the value and not know what value set in the prop.
