Update:

the android 10 guide written in the Telegram group

https://t.me/a605x

worked !

Thanks a lot [B]nqnxev[/B] !

Flashing GSI Android 10 Vendor

From custom recovery:

1. Format DATA ("Wipe" -> "Format Data" -> type "yes" -> OK ). Reboot to Recovery

2.Download any android 10 GSI A64 A/B(dont mistake it with arm64 a/b)

I used AOSP 10.0 v222 system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img

And extract it.

3. Flash Gsi .img 2 times as system image.

4.reboot to recovery resize system partition(if it fails do it again)

5.flash gapps

I used open_gapps-arm-10.0-mini-20220111

6. Flash latest Magisk.

I used Magisk v23.0

7. Flash universal DisableDm-VerityForceEncrypt_...zip (It's interactive, answer yes to "Disable force encryption").

I used 11/02/2020 version.

8. (Optional) Flash SM-A605-keymaster-fix-by-Not_Sure.zip for lock-screen to work.

Installation failed for me, but no problems anyway.

9. Mount system on twrp and using twrp file manager remove System/System/lib/vnd-29/libstagefright_foundation.so

Now I'm testing this rom to see if it's usable.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
AOSP 10.0 v222 system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img is not stable at all on my device.

Now I'm trying

AOSP 10.0 v219 system-quack-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla.img, way better.

Seems good so far.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Good to hear. If hardware support is fine, then just play also with different GSI images (Resurrection Remix, Havoc, etc.) and just choose the most suitable for you:

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
yeah, I will. Thanks again.

I just tried to reboot but the phone is now looping between the two attached screens.

I have two more questions:

1) if I will flash a NOT GSI rom like Resurrection, it will modify Vendor partition, right? So that if, after that, I would flash again a GSI rom I will need to restore Vendor (or install again latest stock and unlock bootloader and install twrp again), right?

2) in order to install a NOT GSI rom, should I follow the steps of the above guide, which worked very well for GSI android 10?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Full rom has everything what is needed to work in one flashable zip (system, kernel, vendor). GSI is only system image - you have to have everything else (your own vendor and kernel - usually stock kernel and vendor is enough).

If your current vendor is good for your current GSI (if hardware works fine - wi-fi, camera, etc.), then just make backup of that vendor partition (just in case) and don't wipe it (wipe only cache, dalvik, system, data when you change gsi to some other). You are ready to flash any other GSI image, because in most cases other GSI's will work also fine on the same vendor.

Here you have Resurrection Remix GSI:

Resurrection Remix Q GSI - Browse Files at SourceForge.net

The download site of Resurrection Remix Q GSI

sourceforge.net

A64 = arm32_binder64

Roms have their own instructions of flashing, but usually they have everything in one zip ready to flash (just like every other zip). Read their release notes from author. You only need to make wipe (cache, dalvik, data, system, vendor) before flashing them.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
In case of the following GSI, which is the correct img for me? Should be arm32_binder64.

TrebleGSI - Browse /BLESS/2020.10.15 at SourceForge.net

TrebleGSI - Browse /CAOS/2020.10.29 at SourceForge.net

Naming is explained here:

https://xdaforums.com/t/official-aosp-q-mod-caos.4137289/

A64 (do not confuse with ARM64) = arm32_binder64

In case of CAOS and Lineage Q/R mod it's recommended to flash RMM bypasss (Magisk is rather unnecessary) because it can lock bootloader if you have stock vendor (it happened to me).
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Ok I will try again Caos with RMM.

The keymaster fix always gives me error 1, I cannot manage to install it. I tried to install with the aforementioned methodology all the official Gsi android 10 ROMs. The only ROMs I succeed to install and boot are the phussons ones. But they have some issues (for example WiFi problems, or lock screen loop with Android screen). Or maybe my phone has some hardware issues. Any similar method for Gsi android 9 ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
The same method should work. It's weird that only phhussons images work for you, because most of other GSI's are based on that. Have you tried to flash that fixes.zip from that page below? They fixes your vendor for better hardware support:

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
I've been trying a lot of GSI, I thank you for your help!

Now I can say that

AOSP 11.0 v313 system-roar-arm32_binder64-ab-vanilla

is the most stable rom on my phone.

Wifi, bluetooth work. Very fluid.

But there is a big downside: I do not see any of the Gapps which I installed through Twrp using

open_gapps-arm-11.0-mini-20220115. Installation was successful... I do not understand...

I tried also microG and Bitgapps, but they fail installation saying /system not writable.

So I do not have any Gapps now.

I tried the Gapps version of this Rom already, also in vndklite flavor.

But I have issues on both of them, first of all Play Protect saying that the system isn't certified, and the rom cannot learn any lock screen method (pin, password, sequence).

What can I do?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
If phh AOSP 11 works fine, then use CAOS11 or Lineage R Mod (use image with included gapps and don't flash Magisk or any additional gapps) - both are based on phhusson's AOSP and they're passing such certification out of the box (they have also included dynamic root). Flash only RMM bypass.

It seems that you forgot to mount /system partition in TWRP before flashing. Sometimes it needs also to resize system partition to successfully flash. But at first try CAOS and Lineage R Mod.

Tutorial from Telegram has included fix for that, but I have no idea if it works for Android 11 GSI's. But it's worth trying.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Ok thanks!

But now I'm stuck in a loop with TWRP first screen with its logo and samsung screen with SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY... cannot move from this...

I was trying

AOSP 12.0 v400.h system-squeak-arm32_binder64-ab-gogapps

which was working like AOSP 11, fine, but I wanted to go back to twrp to try a different rom since it lacked Google certification so I didn't have any google app working.

Now I have to exit from this loop and try the roms you just kindly wrote.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Problably you have to flash stock firmware via Odin again, and again TWRP, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
I tried the 2 roms you suggested.

For now the best working is:

LineageR lir-v314-211223-a64-bgZ.

I can install apps through Playstore without any issue, wifi working, gps is ok, I will test calling with a sim too.

I just do not have the possiblity to use Camera and Flashlight.

The Camera is among the installed ones, but it does not show app and I cannot open it, the same applies to Flashlight.

I installed Opencamera, but when I open it I read the message Error in opening the camera, the camera is used by another application ID:0.

I also tried to go inside PHH TREBLE SETTINGS and switching on the line USE ALTERNATE CAMERA PROFILE inside QUALCOMM FEATURES. I rebooted but no changes.

PS: I do not have the %battery indicator, but I can use a dedicated app from Playstore.

If I go inside Battery indicator I can switch it On (there also options for different colors) but it doesn't show up.

Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Maybe I have to use the -lite version?
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] nqnxev:
Yes, you need vndklite for working camera.

You need to report such issues to GSI author. However you don't need additional apps - there should be an option in settings for that.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Using this rom as you suggested

LineageR lir-v314-211223-a64-bgZ-lite.img

everything works fine now! Thanks a lot!

But I didn't try calls yet since I didn't insert a sim card yet.

Camera app works, Flashlight works.

I found a setting in order to see the % battery: System -> Status bar -> Battery indicator style: select percentage.
[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Just for reference, this is the procedure I followed for the rom installation:

1. Format DATA ("Wipe" -> "Format Data" -> type "yes" -> OK ). Reboot to Recovery

2. Download the rom and extract it

3. Flash rom .img 2 times as system image.

4. Reboot to recovery and resize system partition (if it fails do it again)

5. Flash universal DisableDm-VerityForceEncrypt_...zip. I used 11/02/2020 version.

I hope it will be helpful for someone else.

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] Ecto1000:
Hello, from what I can say related to my experience with my A6+, if you have that behaviour it means that that custom ROM doesn't suit your phone.

AFAIK, no. Maybe trough scripts... but that would be sequential opening. I guess you want simultaneous opening.

Anyway, I don't see why would you want something like that...

yea, you'd have to get mortscript to do something like this.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
On my note 10+ I had an app that could disable services and receivers inside an app BUT I can't remember what it's called or where I downloaded it. Also it worked without root!

Anyone know what app I'm talking about because I'd love to have it again.

One example of something fantastic it let me do was use Nova Launcher (OneUI always runs in BG) and then I'd go into OneUI and disable everything I didn't need and it helped save battery. I basically just left the app switch function working because for some reason OneUi controls that instead of Android itself.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] buru898:
The one I used was called Disable Service. Outdated I think, but it's on apkmirror
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] d0x360:
Thanks but that's definitely not it... I really wish I had a backup.

I used package disabler pro and also this other app for when I just wanted certain aspects disabled and it worked amazing. Saved lots of battery too.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] audit13:
It's been a long time since I've used an Android phone.

I believe it was possible to flash a stock ROM and gaaps using fastboot commands without erasing user data.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] optimusodd:
Nope,I haven't tried that yet coz before doing anything I want to be absolutely sure that it's not gonna wipe my data. :( Again,flashing the complete stock ROM is required or flashing a specific image like boot.img / system.img would resolve the issue ?

Please take a look at this thread.I didn't get "-w flag" thing.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] BHD@RN:
hello, what you are trying to achieve is possible but we need to make solution specific to your android version which is android 8.

secondly explain what happened in detail like was your phone rooted or not, like if not then how on earth you uninstall system apps, if not uninstalled just degraded using uninstall updates button tell me.

xda is only in my laptop so i am unable to reply instantly, you can use telegram to talk to me @Bhd82
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] optimusodd:
My device is not rooted.Yes,I selected multiple apps to uninstall and Asus launcher,Play Store,Google Play Services also got selected accidenlty and when Uninstall button was clicked, I suppose were downgraded in the process.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] optimusodd:
Hello buddy,here is the video of the bootloop.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
encryption is downgrade protected so you probably broke it. so first you should dump cache partition and search kernel logs for QSEECOM. if your bootloader is unlocked, boot custom recovery from fastboot boot command and dump partitions from adb pull, otherwise dump from edl.py.

loaders can be found here

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] optimusodd:
Hello buddy,thank you for your valuable input! It means a lot! Well ,device was running without any glitch even after disabling and downgrading several pre installed apps and bloatwares.Several times ,I downgraded Playstore and Google play services to fix some issues.And everything went hand in hand with encryption enabled.I guess ,in this particular case, device got restarted during downgrading process and that corrupted some files.

My bootloader is locked and USB debugging is disabled.Yes, I have been digging threads regarding QSEECOM and QPST for past few days.

Unfortunately,unlocking bootloader would wipe out all the data which I want to preserve.Is there any way to get logcat with bootloader locked and usb debugging disabled ?

Thank you!
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] alecxs:
sorry I didn't know that fastboot oem adb_enable requires unlocked bootloader.

yes there is maybe. you can flash adb enabled AVBv1 signed modified boot.img from Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 EDL mode if you have deep flash cable or figure out test point

first backup all partitions to PC

(replace ./ with proper path on disk or cd into directory. home directory ~ might run out of disk space)

mkdir ~/tmp
cp -v ./prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn ~/tmp
cd edl
python3 ./Loaders/fhloaderparse.py ~/tmp Loaders
python3 ./edl.py printgpt
python3 ./edl.py r boot boot.img
python3 ./edl.py r system system.img
python3 ./edl.py r cache cache.img
python3 ./edl.py r metadata metadata.bin
python3 ./edl.py r devinfo devinfo.bin
python3 ./edl.py r userdata userdata.img
python3 ./edl.py r ...

second modify default.prop in boot.img ramdisk with AIK

ro.debuggable=1
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

third flash image-new.img (which is hopefully AVBv1-signed) back to device and try get logcat while booting android (might brick your device)

python3 ./edl.py w boot image-new.img
python3 ./edl.py reset
adb logcat '*:W' -b all | tee ~/logcat.txt

In case you bricked just restore backup boot.img and go for logs in cache partition. loop mount the partition image

mkdir ~/cache
sudo -H mount -t ext4 -o loop,ro,noexec,noload,noatime ./cache.img ~/cache
sudo -H thunar ~/cache

edit: optional patch avb/dm-verity with Magisk

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] optimusodd:
Hello,after a lot of research and experiments,I finally managed to build an EDL flash cable and figured out device's key combination to get the device in QDLoader 9008 EDL mode.

While I am a tech enthusiast,I am incognizant of Linux / Python so kindly bear with me.Even after spending hours I couldn't find any tutorial / video regarding how to use edl.py / bkerler/edl. Instructions here are unclear and complicated.Looks developer have a notion that everybody on this planet have an understanding of coding or python.It's full of jargons.A video tutorial of the whole process could be quite informative but unfortunatley it's missing.

This "loader" thing is also utterly confusing, some people are referring prog_emmc_firehose files as loader while bkerler/Loaders are entirely different phenomenon and I am unable to comprehend it.

I had downloaded xubuntu.iso to boot it via USB on Windows 11 machine only to find it later that bkerler/edl is first asking to use 3.9GB large Re LiveDVD and then later want us to install python + git and loads of other things.I don't understand what's the point of doing all this when one can run Linux commands in Windows using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

I am sorry but this post went completely over my head. Can you please recommend some step by step tutorial ? Thank you!
