[Redmi Note 9T] dsclee1:
If System is available in the version of recovery you're using go right ahead! The issue from memory was that the System partition hadn't been correctly mapped.

If you write over System with fastboot as a dirty flash for an update (for the same Android version) it should run fine. You're not damaging any of your saved files on the Userdata partition, and the encryption scheme should be the same.
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
Thanks for that. Only reason I asked this is because I saw the installation guide in OctaviOS' telegram and it mentions to use fastboot for Android 10 or above, but custom recovery for Android 9 or lower, which I don't quite understand why...

UPDATE:

I can't get the phone to boot after flashing Bliss Rom to system image (it flashed successfully). Initially on bootup, it showed something about dm-verity being corrupted. I Googled it and it talks about vbmeta, so I flashed the modified vbmeta img and that error disappeared. But then phone just keeps showing the Redmi logo and then boot into recovery.

I can boot into LineageOS just fine, but not Bliss. I don't quite understand how the OP was able to use Bliss (according to his screenshots in the first post).

More importantly, how do we wipe the System partition, as this isn't available as a Wipe option in either TWRP or OrangeFox? I basically went from flashing the system.img for Bliss ROM, to flashing system.img for LineageOS. I would have preferred to wipe the System partition first before going from one GSI to another, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Can someone please confirm if "fastboot flash system system.img" actually overwrites the entire System partition, or does it do a dirty flash? If it overwrites the entire System partition and we don't need to do a wipe, that's fine. But if there's a new GSI update for the same ROM, how do we dirty flash?

If on the other hand it does a dirty flash, then that's not good if you're jumping from one ROM to another ROM. We should do a proper wipe of System first. How can we do this, if there isn't a wipe System option in recovery?

Have you figured out a solution or you're still having issues?

Found the solution here:

Redmi Note 9T 5G (cannon/cannong) In-Call volume not adjustable · Issue #1908 · phhusson/treble_experimentations

I can't adjust the in-call volume on my device. Logcat suggests the button press is being recognised (and the change displays on the slider on screen), but there's no effect on the volume. Full Log...

github.com

I'm currently using OctaviOS and it supports signature spoofing, which is useful if you wanna use microG.
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
Another issue with the GSI is that it can't recognize my memory card. It keeps asking to format and doesn't recognize it. Memory card is fine with other phones and it's a high-end Samsung 128GB memory card.....if I format as Phone storage, it's fine. If I format as Portable storage, it doesn't work.
[Redmi Note 9T] gyoshin:
Try to format with fat32 even if your tfcard is bigger than 32gb.
[Redmi Note 9T] dsclee1:
Yes, fastboot flash wipes the partition clean. If you want to be extra sure you can "fastboot erase system" before fastboot flash, but as far as I'm aware fastboot flash effectively does the erase as part of the flash.

I don't understand either! I imagine that they couldn't get Android 10 to flash in their version of recovery, which is why they say to use fastboot. But the fastboot method would also work for Android 9.
[Redmi Note 9T] dsclee1:
I'd try @gyoshin's idea. On a PC format the card as FAT32. You might need to use a tool to flash to FAT32, as I've found in Windows it's sometimes unavailable as an option, as they're trying to push people to NTFS or exFAT. If you need a tool I'd recommend Rufus (https://github.com/pbatard/rufus).
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
But then how do we dirty flash a GSI update? If fastboot is going to overwrite the System partition, then that's not a dirty flash, it's a wipe? Don't we lose whatever is stored in that System partition?
[Redmi Note 9T] dsclee1:
The System partition doesn't contain any of your user data, that's in a different partition.
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
Thanks, I've just tested and Fat32 works on GSI.

But is there a proper solution to this? Fat32 has a 4GB file limitation and I imagine that taking a backup in recovery for a single partition (like Super) is not going to work, as that's around 7GB if I recall. I definitely need to use my card without 4GB file limitation........is there a reason why exFat is just not working on GSI?

Hmm....

[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
Yup I know that. But doesn't System partition contain any specific settings or System apps (e.g. Youtube or Google)?
[Redmi Note 9T] chaoscreater:
None of these GSIs have an option to lock app in memory/Recents, which means if I tap "close all" in recents, it closes all of those apps.......

For some apps, you can disable battery optimization and that will keep them in memory, but this is not consistent. Also, these GSIs seem to use up more memory compared to stock and I've installed the same apps and tweaked them all the same. I'm not even running Google Play Services on these GSI, I'm just running vanilla stock with microG. I'm not noticing any memory related issues atm, but available free memory is low despite no apps running in background or foreground (using Superfrezz to kill them).

According to the Memory setting in Developer Options, it seems that Android OS is using up the most RAM (1.4GB in my case). Seems like maybe there's a memory leak or something. Again, I'm not noticing any actual issues, but I would prefer to have more free available RAM that isn't used up entirely by Android OS itself. This phone is already quite sluggish with the bare minimum of 4GB RAM and it's not enough....

Other than that, OctaviOS seems to be quite good with battery life so far. Drained about 6% and SOT is 1hr & 20 mins. Pretty much on-par with stock ROM.
[Redmi Note 9T] BlooD_DeN:
All conditions must be met to flash the GSI image.

The firmware is flashed using a .bat file containing: ...

adb kill-server
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
pause
adb reboot && exit

The folder with the .bat file should contain files from platform-tools_r34 and the GSI firmware image (system.img).

The phone connects in fastboot mode.

Wait until the phone reboots into the system.

[OnePlus 9R] LeDiable:
If only 8T Official ArrowOS and Lineage could be brought onto this, would be perfect.
[OnePlus 9R] djsubterrain:
You could try building a rom yourself, you'll need Linux (Ubuntu is usually good), a decent sized fast drive (256GB SSD/M.2).

There are usually guides for building each rom on their github, you need the source for the rom and the source for the device (which OnePlus will upload to their github) plus guides on YouTube.

Resurrection Remix Github ( RR Guide )

LineageOS Github ( LineageOS Guide )

crDroid Github ( crDroid Guide )

PixelExperience Github ( PE Guide )

Project Xtended Github ( MSMExtended Guide )

OnePlus Github

The roms will usually have either a Telegram or Discord group if you run into difficulty, don't EXPECT a response though, REQUEST a response.

Here's the GSMArena page for the OnePlus 9R, GSMArena is an excellent site to find out info about phones and their chipset. This denotes the chipset for the 9R as :

Chipset	Qualcomm SM8250-AC Snapdragon 870 5G (7 nm)

Here's the Github page on OnePlus for the SM8250, although it's labelled as OnePlus 8, the 9R actually shows SM8250-AC

Strictly speaking, you don't actually need the device to build a rom for it but I wouldn't recommend installing roms from people who build them like that because they obviously can't/have not tested them.

Cheers
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] joey jojo:
mate, not being funny, but dont ask questions like that as full instructions are on the thread with the rom ( and you will be told to use the thread search tools, lol), and if you are asking questions like that it is highly not recomended to flash your device if you dont know what you are doing, hopefully i have got the wrong idea of what you meant, in any case,

click http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425612 and follow instructions. you need to hard spl your device,

do hard reset first, then flash then hard reset and everything shoudl run smoothly, dont use vista if you do it wont work, well it didnt on mine, use an xp machine.

hope all works out for you!!

Vista is often causing errors. XP is recommended...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] lazerradial2003:
Cheers, I had read through the instructions etc but the XDA dev wiki says that before you find the ROM you should CID unlock the device, couldn't find anything explicitly saying that Hard SPL is doing this and figured I'd rather ask an obvious question than risk bricking by beloved Orbit II.

Think I might have to risk trying it with Vista, only XP installations I've got are VMware ones on Ubuntu and that's a whole other can of worms.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] znel52:
Has anybody tried to flash the Android 12 GSI on their Pixel XL? From what I have read the XL is Project Treble compatible so in theory it should work (at least that's how I understood it) . I did attempt to flash it last night using instructions from an XDA article but can't get it to boot.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] adiantek_ovh:
I tried on my Google Pixel 2 XL and also had problems with booting, but I downloaded AOSP from master and compiled it for taimen and everything works (bt, wifi, GPS, camera, sensors) without a SIM card ("No SIM card"). https://github.com/adiantek/Google-Pixel-2-XL-Android-S

I flashed boot, dtbo, vbmeta, system and vendor. If you ignore the vendor you will have problems with bpfloader.

I will try compiling it also to Pixel XL, so if you want you can test it. You don't need to flash bootloader, so there is no risk. I don't know only what is the size of boot_a/boot_b on Pixel XL (40 MiB on Pixel 2 XL is enough).

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] fisharry:
Hello all:

I am slowly working towards converting my brand new/used TMobile Oneplus 7t from BH Photos to Global. Here is what I have done so far:

Used fastboot to retrieve the unlock code, submitted the form on https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token.

Waited 2 weeks and sure enough i got an email from Oneplus with two links to download the unlock_code.bin.

View attachment 5313803

This is where my problem starts, I cannot actually download the file from either one of the above links, what I get is some kind of "gibberish" characters displayed in the browser, instead of a file download dialog.

View attachment 5313805

I have tried several browsers, on my phone, a linux desktop with Brave Browser and Firefox, and on a Win 10 laptop with Chrome and Edge.

I feel there is something wrong with the link Oneplus provided me. I have tried an email support ticket, and the nice representative only just send me the instructions which I am already following, and the second exchange said just wait patiently for the email, even though I stated clearly I have already received the email. I even sent a video of the issue to them.

On the chat, the nice lady told me to be patient and wait a few more days.

I know I can try to unlock the bootloader using the MSM tool, but doing it legitimately this way seems more straight forward, and I want to try it on a Linux desktop, using only fastboot and fastbootd, which I know both work because I was able to do fastboot devices and also retrieve the fastboot unlock token. I would prefer not to get involved with all that windows drivers stuff for fastboot and edl if possible.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] fisharry:
I tried the CHAT a second time, and this time the rep seemed to actualy know what I was talking about. They said this is a known issue and the "concerned group" is working to resolve the issue of downloading the bootloader unlock file, and to wait 24-28 hours, they are supposed to notify me when the issue is resolved.

[General Questions and Answers] Happychips:
Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone here has a magic tip to help me out. Last week, I purchased the phone in the title from Amazon, and it stated 'unlocked to all carriers". So I received it, had some fun, and tried putting my iD mobile SIM in.

All day Wednesday, I couldn't receive or make calls, texts or use mobile data. I'd tried various changes, and to no avail.

I took it to carphone warehouse, and the assistant told me that the phone just maybe isn't compatible with iD, and instead tried out a VOXI by Vodafone SIM, pay as you go, and bam, it's working, data, calls and texts are all up. Fast forward to yesterday, I'd ordered a EE SIM only deal as I prefer EE as a major network, and I'm back to square one.

I've uninstalled bloatware, even tried uninstalling the "find device" from the phone as others said it may be that, wow was that a bad idea, bootlooped my phone, which was also just bringing forward my factory reset plan, and even that didn't help.

I now have my EE SIM, and my VOXI SIM in together. The EE is not going anywhere, sporadically calling out and receiving texts, but the VOXI SIM is working like a charm. I called EE, and the guy said it may well be locked to Vodafone Sims and nothing else. I called Xiaomi, and she seemed to say that some Xiaomi phones were locked to Vodafone although I can't help but feel she was confused in replying with that.

After about 1 minute, my phone states it's an EE SIM, and from memory, a locked phone will always say "no service", so I'm literally flabbergasted by this.

Has anyone ever had this sort of problem before? And if not, does anyone know of the correct software to use to see if I can unlock my phone by myself? I'm rather competent with software and what not, aside from the bootloop incident that is. I love the phone already and really don't want to send it back to Amazon if I can avoid it, but then again, I don't want a £200 paperweight either.

I pressure google is trying to incorporate the chat functionality within the messaging app similar to Whatsapp/ Telegram. But I don't see that is working as of now in the Google message app, it is still looking for a working MMS option that involves additional cost. So there is no point using this at this moment.

Due to this reason, many people are moving to EU ROMs as they are maintaining MIUI dialer and message apps which are more comfortable and reliable integration with MIUI themes. Everyone may not be technical enough to move to EU ROMs easily. So all put together join your hands and let Xiami know the fact that people are looking for MIUI dialer/Messages in all upcoming ROMs.

I have a Pumpkin NA7021B single din head unit, I am aware that Pumpkin is just a re-seller and not the maker of the head unit and their help is somewhat limited. The problem I have is none of the apps are working, they open but just hang. I have tried downloading various APKs, google play services, google play store, google maps, but most fail to install or will install but hang when opened or just fail to open. I have updated the MCU as suggested by Pumpkin to version 648f8bba-ef09-11e4-8185-000c29ba27c0 but that did nothing. I have reset the HU using the rst button via the hole in the front of the HU but that only resets the user data (wifi, Bluetooth etc).

Is there a way to access the android recovery so I can do a factory restore. I have tried the factory restore via the HU GUI without any luck.

The HU still functions fine, radio, wifi, GPS all work fine and I am able to use google or chrome to access the net. I have spent hours looking for ways to try to force the unit into the android recovery with no success and am now at a loss at what to do next.

I have contacted pumpkin requesting instructions on how to access the android recovery but have yet to get any reply from them.

Any help, suggestions, tips, or tricks will be greatly appreciated.
