Installing Android 14 using Custom Recovery​

If you are looking to install Android 14 on your any Project Treble Android phone, one of the easiest and safest methods is to use a custom recovery. Custom recovery is an advanced tool that gives you more control over your device, and it has many benefits. Some of the most popular custom recovery options are TWRP and ORANGEFOX. If a custom recovery is available for your device, we highly recommend using it to flash Android 14. In this section, we will show you how to install Android 14 using a custom recovery on your Project Treble phone.​

Before you begin, it is important to note that you must disable force encryption on your phone. This can usually be done by flashing a “Disable Dm Verity Force Encrypt” zip file from your custom recovery. If your phone is encrypted, make sure to complete this step first.​

Steps:​

Power off your phone.​

Boot into custom recovery mode (e.g. TWRP).​

In TWRP, select Wipe, and then swipe to wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, and Data.​

Select Install, then navigate to the location where you saved the Android 14 GSI system image, and select it.​

Swipe to confirm the installation.​

Flash Magisk Zip (it’s needed for boot) in the same way as step 4 and 5.​

(Optional) Flash a custom kernel if available, following the same process as step 4 and 5.​

Reboot to the system.​

This is the process for installing Android 14 using a custom recovery. Once your phone has rebooted successfully, you should now be running Android 14 on your Project Treble Phone.​

Installing Android 14 via ADB Fastboot Commands​
