[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
I do not own the phone (i'm not really interested), but you probably need to disable Vbmeta verification in Fastboot and also format DATA partition (in TWRP>Advanced>format data>YES). If it still doesn't work (bootloop), then you need to disable DATA encryption by flashing an Encryption-disabler.zip which can be found all over the internet.

You can also link the youtube video and I will take a look (why didn't you do that immediately in your question?). If you don't have TWRP or a custom recovery, then this process will even become more complicated. You would need to modify Vendor and Product/ODM to diable encryption.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
the video is linked above i did all steps like that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
So you're sure you disabled Vbmeta in fastboot by using: fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img and also wiped data in recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
yes i dont think i have custom recovery i just have fastbootd through which i did

yeah i did

Like i said i did the whole tutorial exactly from the part of installing gsi rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
I see you did the generic GSI process without finding out if it works on your device. Since you don't have TWRP, I (or you) would need to edit vendor.img to disable Data Encryption. Please Upload your current Stock ROM's super.img (maybe in MEGA?) that you're using as a base for your GSI, I will download it later and modify the vendor for you when I get back home later. (the STOCK SUPER.IMG THAT YOU ARE USING AS A BASE MUST MATCH EXACTLY WHAT WAS ON YOUR DEVICE)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
oh so my phone runs xos rom and i have its file installed on my pc so i will send u its super.img i suppose. i found it in my phones stockfirmware file but its size is 6.17GB and if ur wondering yeah it is the same as my phone same build number file

and tysm bro for trying to help me for so many months i thought abt updating my os and yesterday i finally had guts to do it and if u successfully help me i will be soo happy and will appreciate a lot and u even answering me is rlly appreciable :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
yeah thats way too much even for me. Have you tried to use fastboot to format data? refer to the erase and format commands from this cheatsheet. you would need to do it in fastbootd
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
and well idk what u mean by as a base for my GSI but im uploading my super.img file on mega that i got from my phones firmware file which i download that is the exact same buildnumber but honestly i would say u just download the whole firmware for my device since its like 3.8gb or smthing as compared to super.img which is 6gb so u want me to send u link for the firmware of my device? {Mod edit: Link to needrom removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

ill try i have to use these commands on my pc from cmd (platform tools) and have to take my phone into recovery mdoe and then to fastbootd?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
I will download them later today when im home. Will need my PC to do this. Expect it tomorrow or after tomorrow. Are SURE this the exact one?

no. in normal fastboot (entered by key combintation), use : fastboot reboot fastboot and from there you can fastboot format userdata and fastboot format cache then reboot to normal system and try to give it some time (don't assume its a bootloop immediately, it needs time)

okay sure u can download it at that time and yeah im sure its that ones just before downloading ask me again since i will tell u the exact build number of my phones firmware X693-H697BCDEFTU-R-GL-230524V832

and ill try these 3 commands that u told and then will wait 30 mins
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
Sorry dear Oswald. As a senior member I should know better, my bad :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
i mean these commands i need to connect my phone to pc and then write them in command promt right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
yes just like when you were flashing the GSI. They are just like Formatting DATA and CACHE in TWRP, but through fastboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oswald Boelcke:
No problem at all. You were simply too fast to provide your highly appreciated support and quoted the post while I was still working on it. I've now also edited the quoted post. Thanks very much for the heads-up.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
it is saying Formatting is not supported for file system with type 'raw'[ICODE]

FAILED (remote: 'Invalid partition')
fastboot: error: Command failed [ICODE] for format cache
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
should i just reinstall the os again like the method in video and do everything like that? or i just just go back to stock rom maybe this stuff isnt made for me sadly :( i got so far like became successful in unlocking bootloader and rooting but failed in gsi downloading method thing is i sacrificed so much of my data just to get nothing thats whats stopping me from giving up
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
If it says "error: formatting is unsupported for file system raw" it means your data partition is corrupted somehow for some reason. You can then do one of:

Flash through fastboot the stock data.img reboot to system and see if anything changes. If not, then run the format command afterwards. Try fastboot format data

If it still doesn't work, use the command:fastboot format:f2fs data.

BTW, if you're gonna reflash the Stock ROM, then I won't have to Download the whole Stock ROM myself. Just root your device under stock and use this command in terminal:

su -c dd if=/dev/block/by-name/vendor of=/sdcard/vendor.img

You can then unpack vendor.img that you backed up in internal storage. you can then mount that .img (in android or windows) and modify the following file: fstab.mt6768 found in vendor/etc/. the line you need to modify is the following:

/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,noflush_merge,reserve_root=134217,resgid=1065,inlinecrypt,tran_gc wait,check,formattable,quota,latemount,resize,reservedsize=128m,checkpoint=fs,fileencryption=aes-256-xts:aes-256-cts:v2,keydirectory=/metadata/vold/metadata_encryption

you need to edit it by removing everything that begins with fileencryption as follows: (notice the difference)

/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data f2fs noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,noflush_merge,reserve_root=134217,resgid=1065,inlinecrypt,tran_gc wait,check,formattable,quota,latemount,resize,reservedsize=128m,checkpoint=fs

last step is to do the opposite and flash the vendor.img back to your device in terminal (after editing and unmounting):

su -c dd if=/sdcard/modified_vendor.img of=/dev/block/by-name/vendor

After everything is successful, you should follow the steps in the video again. Important part after flashing modified vendor.img is to never reboot to system without formatting DATA, otherwise all of this will be for nothing. You will need to figure out how to format DATA (not wipe!!!) outside of system yourself. usually those fastboot commands work, if they don't then the GSI needs to work with encryption or you will have to forget about flashing GSIs altogether.

I'm Traveling right now so If I have to modify this on my side it will have to wait, otherwise do it yourself .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
i cant find the stock data.img where do i find it

if u can do the vendor part for me etc that would be great and i can wait ig since im a newbie

and btw basically in all of this which part did i do wrong which caused bootloop for me
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
it is called userdata.img. you can flash it (along with the rest in your stock ROM's zip) using fastboot.

install stock ROM, root and backup vendor using the above described method, upload it somewhere and give me the link. I will modify it for you and link it back.

you did nothing wrong. A GSI is not made for your specific device, it is a Generic System Image that may or may not work.

Sometimes even if it does boot correctly; it will have other issues that need to be solved as well, such as calling not working or screen flickering or VoLTE issues. At the end of the day, This is not a ROM Developed for your device, it is just a universal one that "could" work. have you tried Other GSI's? maybe only this one doesn't work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
this was my first try for GSI on yt i had found this

this guy was running project elixir too but ig it was android 13 version and i tried android 14 ones so maybe i should try the exact same ones in the vid? and yeah ill sleep rn tysm for the help will tty later ♡♡

yoo ignore all those msges i just reflashed to stock rom had bootloader unlocked already and also rooted

where do i have to write these commands like in which terminal?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slim K:
here is the Link to the modified vendor.img:

Vendor.img

You can download it and flash it during the whole process just like flashing the GSI in the first video you shared.

Right after flashing the GSI to system, you flash the linked vendor to vendor partition and follow the rest of the video.

you must flash it using:

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Also I just want to say that I won't be helping you any further than this. I don't own the device and I'm not really interested in this as much as you're. Maybe stop being lazy and start using google search?? maybe someone else with the same device and interest will help you here (or elsewhere). Good Luck and I hope it works out for you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyberdude:
Alright thx and yeah I did search it all over xda and internet sadly rlly few pple have my device but yeah I'll give my last try

Except the vendor.img I don't have to do any additional steps tho right? Just follow the video

man i did all the steps u told me but sadly this time it wont even go past the infinix logo its just stuck there altho i can access fastboot etc i flashed custom gsi then flashed vendor.img then wiped data and rebooted and its stuck at manufacture logo

what should i do then just giveup and return to stock rom or what? i also tried format data and cache but that command said the file system raw stuff again

Broo i fixed it turns out it was the issue with gsi it wasnt working on my devcie so i switched to its a bit lower version (android 13) and now its working i tested it through dsu loader tysm for tying to help me tho

Hey all, I have a DS varient, I'm unsure if it's different from the normal BR. Trying to flash some roms.
[Samsung Galaxy M52 5G] BlackMesa123:
DS stands for Dual SIM, this suffix is only shown in the Settings page if the device has dual sim support, the actual model number is just "SM-M526BR". Both B and BR devices are the exact same, so what works in one will work in the other.
[Samsung Galaxy M52 5G] VirtualPyramid:
Thank you so much! I've been wanting to install your UNI1CA rom and that was model name slightly worrying me. Great work!
[General Questions and Answers] Adramel:
Is there an application that would create a disk in the phone's RAM memory, which the phone treats as an SD card?

So that you could put some temporarily needed files there, and after the reset they would no longer be there?

I have 12GB of RAM on my phone and I would like to "waste" it a bit ;)
[General Questions and Answers] V0latyle:
Without root, no. Unless you buy a device that already has it. Many newer Samsung devices as well as some Pixels already do this. Samsung calls it Ram Plus.

Since this is something that affects the core Android system as well as the kernel, there's no way to add it without root. However, here is a Magisk module.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Since years I am using on a rooted Huawei Y (2019)

View attachment 6056743

what increases the RAM of an older Android device by using the SD card as virtual RAM: it does NOT work with newer Android versions like Android 14. If you are looking to expand the RAM on your Android 14 device, you should use the built-in DVM feature instead. To do this, go to Settings > System > Developer options > Advanced > Memory and enable the "Use internal storage as virtual RAM" option.
[General Questions and Answers] Adramel:
I mean something exactly OPPOSITE (Ram minus?)

In physical RAM, I wants to disk space - an SD card - RamDisk - a disk in RAM. I want to reduce the RAM of the phone and have disk space on it.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
I only wanted to point out that a RAM disk, also known as a RAM drive, for me is nonsense this because RAM is volatile memory, which means that it loses its data when the Android device is turned off, that increasing RAM by adding virtual RAM instead of decreasing it is the better method. :)

Populating a RAM drive involves copying apps / data from your device's internal memory or SD to the RAM disk. Wondering how you would achieve this?
[General Questions and Answers] Adramel:
It simply needs a place to store files that I temporarily download to my phone. The download directory is getting a terrible trash.

I mounted myself a RamDisk on my Win computer for just such a purpose - to have a clean space after a reset. I would like the same on the phone
[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
@xXx yYy fyi creating swap in flash storage is nonsense - it's much slower than ram, and wears out flash quickly... there is no benefit (on smartphones and tablets)
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You must NOT tell me what I since ever know. :)
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I see your requirement as a complete waste of time attempting something that would give zero benefits, apart from empty satisfaction if you at all manage to find something that would accomplish this.

If you have 12 GB ram, it has to be a reasonably new phone, which also means fast enough storage. You can use a folder on the storage itself that can be automatically 'emptied' at set intervals using a file management app.
[HTC Excalibur] Shondue:
Help, I have a 620 that up until recently has worked great with Win6.1 upgrade, the problem is that it shows fully charged 100% all of the time. I thought that maybe the battery had just shorted out some how, but when I tried the new battery it does the same thing. It will sync properly and function right, just all of a sudden will go dead without any warning. Any ideas?? Please.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I would just try to restart it if not charge it up all the way and than reflash your phone.
[HTC Excalibur] Shondue:
I have tried restarting the phone and no change. The orange light (Charging) will come on for about 10 seconds and go to green (Charged) even with the phone off.
[HTC Excalibur] Shondue:
Anybody?? Any ideas??
[HTC Excalibur] Shondue:
One last try,

I don't want to brick this thing. Anybody have any ideas??
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
no real good ideas, since you have already tried a new battery. That would have been my guess.

Are you only using a charge cord, or do you have a real charger as well? USB ports are around 500mah, and I thought the charger was closer to 750, could even be 1a. Also, check the contacts to the battery, use an eraser or if you have a hobby store around use a model railroad track cleaning eraser (slightly abrasive). Thats about all I can think of, I have had issues charging before but they were all due to the battery.
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Take out the memory card, then charge the phone.. run the battery dead then recharge it and try inserting the memory card. Many times what looks like a battery issue is really the memory card and removing it 'solves' the problem. If that does not work do a hard reset and cross your fingers that it is just a bad battery profile.
[HTC Excalibur] Shondue:
I'll try the memory card. Will let you know what happens.
[HTC Excalibur] Shondue:
OK, tried the memory card. Didn't change anything. Tried hardreset, still no luck. Reflashed rom, still same problem. Am going to just get a desktop charger for the extra battery and keep one charged that way.

I think i knew what the problem was and now i have a new boot img, patched with magisk, bootloader unlocked and can enter in fastbootd.

With your bootloader unlocked, all you have to do is Flash Magisk using a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP).
