Hi Guys. I recently unlocked my Chinese Mi8 with Chinese MIUI 10.0.9.0 (or a similar number) and immediately installed TWRP and flashed the MIUI 8.10.25 but it kept fc'ing at the setup window where in region it only showed China and on clicking on that it kept saying something like Find Location has unexpectedly stopped.
So then I tried flashing the Xiaomi EU rom 8.10.12 and it went like a breeze and after setup I tested the cameras and rebooted back to recovery and wiped cache>dalvic>system>data and installed Havoc OS rom zip and gapps etc. Everything went fine and the rom performed well
Then I booted into TWRP and wiped cache>dalvic>system>data and flashed the Pixel Experience GSI image and Magisk and wow no problems. I then flashed a lot of the GSI roms in the XDA treble thread and all booted and worked flawlessly. Great stuff.
I thought I'd let you guys know that GSI roms are working well with our Mi8.
The GSI's that I tried were Benzo, Phhuson's Android 9, Pixel Experience and Pixie Dust
Hope this helps someone
Hi @arifqur,
Which one do you recommend?
Pixel P experience or Pixie Dust
Very interesting... Do you notice better performance with gsi roms than Xiaomi.EU's one?
Are generic gsis stable and does everything work?
I tried two GSI roms (Pixel P experience and Pixie Dust.
I was not able to install some apps (error 109) when some can be installed.
Error with vendor version on Pixie Dust.
Go back to AOSiP for now
How about the notch? The sensors works fine? I installed the havoc is but the nfc didn't work and the gcam had errors
I stayed not long on GSI.
I can tell that wifi, data connection works.
I didn't tried NFC (I never used it) camera was working fine too.
Regarding the notch, I think it was not recognized but customization was really extended on pixel dust, you could adjust the dpi on status bar so I didn't have issue on this area.
For me just having the option of flashing a lot more roms than the 4 we have in our forums is great.
Benzo is a good one with a lot of features. Pixel Dust is another which has some basic options over the PE gsi rom.
Almost all the sensors work. NFC I don't use so I don't remember checking it. Gcam works fine. AOD doesn't work.
Other then that everything works.
@arifqur you're right, it is great to test other roms.
Did you manage to install any apps on play store?
I keep having error 109
Yeah. No problems. Everything installs as well as updates of old google apps like in Pixel experience roms that have tons of apps that need to be updated.
One thing though, check in your Play Store app in settings and scroll to the bottom, it will probably say that the device is not certified.
Install Magisk_Hide_props module and reboot. Install a terminal app(maybe have it downloaded) and open it.
1. Type su , press enter
2. Type props, press enter
3. Press 1, hit enter, next press f and hit enter
4. Select Google from the menu(I think it is number 3 on the device list)
5. Select any Pixel device(I usually go for XL). Press like for instance 9 and press enter
6. Type y and then again y and the phone would reboot
Let it settle for a while and then check your Play Store settings. The first time it will show the Play store version, check it again after a few minutes and it would say that the device is certified.
Done
Maybe this will solve your app installation problems.
Good luck

I see Benzo is quit good for Mi 8?
Can you advise me with variant to use for Mi 8?
Arm64 or A or A/B ?
I can use this info to try other GSI roms.
I am running android 9 now ( miui .eu 11.8.15 ) ARB?
thanks in advance

I flashed the MIUI EU rom 8.10.12 (pie) coming from MIUI Chinese Stable rom before flashing Havoc and then GSI roms.
I flashed the EU 8.11.15 from yesterday to check out the 960 fps slow motion and night sight features and have stuck with it till now.
This rom is really smooth and everything just works.
Being a flash-a-holic I will probably be on another rom by tomorrow

No problems with ARB to date with Mi8. The ARB numbers that I have seen for Mi8 range between nothing to 1. As ARB numbers from 3 onwards are the ones that you can't roll back from.
Yeah full wipe system>data>caches but not internal storage. Then flash the Benzo GSI image as system image in TWRP. Flash Magisk after that as you would need to also flash the Magisk Hide_props module(see above for a guide). As the Benzo rom boots up you will get a lot of playstore errors. Keep swiping them away and without logging into your account , first get the Hide_props going.
Another thing to note is that when you wipe everything and flash a GSI, it will use the Boot or kernel from the last rom that you backed up and wiped from as the boot partition is not wiped.
So I went from EU pie rom to Havoc>illusion then the GSI's. So the GSI roms that I tried were all using the same boot image from last flashed rom , which in my case was illusion rom.
Also all of the three kernels that we have namely Milouk, Mipa, extreme, all work flawlessly with GSI roms

As we(in the TG group) have tested a bunch of Pie9.0 (s)GSI Roms on the XDA forum (https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development) I was asked to make a guide/summary of what there was already been tested and in our opinion the better ones out of the Pie-list.
It’s not to be intented to be ‘the’list but only to give you a guidance to what there is at the moment. And most of, it’s very easy to install
The ones that I will list are the ones WITHOUT call bugs on our Axon 7. As you wish you can vote for your favorite of the listed ones above.

Pre Requisitions :
Unlocked BL, Bootstack B12 NFound or your preferred one
Vendor partition by @djkuz or your preferred one
TWRP3218-treble under the hood @NFound or your preferred one
Installation : or your own preferred method as this is just an example
Wipe System. Data, Vendor, cache dalvik (although data does the job)
Flash the v1.1 NFound
Flash the .img that you have extracted and if needed renamed to system.img
And just….reboot
After installation there can be applied some fixes :
a* Use the aroma COMBIFIX v3.1 to fix the NFC/HS general lag, choose button reverse, flash new kran framework overlay, magisk and gapps
update : for magisk 18.1 use the latest Combifix v5.1 or with Magisk 19.0 you can use Combifix v6.0 or the latest one with magisk 19.1 and latest MHPC : COMBIFIX 6.1
a. NFC when laggy or not working combined with Hotspot : Pie_NFC /Hotspot fix by @kountry83
On ArrowOS and Benzo they both work after applying the fix although the Hotspot works on ArrowOS and Benzo die to v105 phh
b. GCAM when default one isn’t working
c. Camera fix if you have a settings bug
d. Reverse BACK/RECENT (mount system / vendor) or A2017X_softkey_reverse_module
e. System settings color accents
f. DarkMode & SettingsColorAccents thnx @kountry83
g. safetynet issues
Misc :
* A2017X-MoKee_vendor_boot_combo
* AEX bootanimation
* Havoc bootanimation
* There is no need to an incall fix as all of the listed are free of the bug.
* Also no problems with SD card or booting the roms.
* In some cases the package provided by the dev is GAPPS included. If no gapps provided you can simply flash the OFFICIAL GAPPS.
* All roms have NFC working. Hotspot isn’t reliable and mostly not working.
* Some Pie Roms do have more customization as to the other. Up to you to vote which one you do prefer. When voting it would be good when you make your vote based on ‘most stable/most customs/best battery life’
* Substratum works (tested on Benzo and NOS...)
I’m not going get into detail about each rom. I’ll leave that up to you to discuss further on. Perhaps if voting leads us to a one of a kind, we can focus on that in the future.
It would be much appreciated as you add your input even with your fixes or additions you want to point out.
This is something that is growing on XDA and all the input is welcome to improve what we have.
ENJOY !
@Oki, thnx for your guidance on flashing back and forth between (treble) roms

A good one. As for me the Benzo, Los16PPR2 and Havoc are the best to this point.
Especially smoothness, battery life and customization are more then ok atm.
Updates will follow and improve things where needed.
Thanks @raystef66 ! Took some time away from flashing and was a bit lost of where to go on my axon after moving to aex5.8 and how to do. Good that you also have the instructions
Was on benzo for a week or so...was pretty stable but the battery life wasnt that great even with the schwifty kernel. It lacked some of the customizations that i use so i am back at AEX 5.8...pretty sure these gsi will become more stable over time...will be worth the wait

True, as for me too, the AEX Oreo has a bunch of customs that Benzo still hasnt. But out of all GSI's Benzo and a couple others have the most.
Even on some Pie GSI's the displayed features aren't even working.
Batterylife as on NOS gave me 4-5 SOT on average use.
Anyway, like you said, still building up....

Sure! more people testing means more options explored and better outcome for everyone. You are doing a great job testing and bringing Android 9 ROMs to the Axon 7 scene. I have been very busy the last couple of weekends preparing my version of the TWRP for the Axon 7, the TWRP 2.3.2-0L Labs Mod. It has been for me the key for fast switching between the testing environment and the daily driver configuration in a matter of minutes and without requiring a computer at all. It can backup/restore internal storage, create and remove the vendor partition and even create firmware zip packages able to be flashed using TWRP or MiFlash. I'll create the guide this afternoon on how to switch back and forth from Nougat or Oreo to Pie.
Cheers!

That would be great and much appreciated as you have followed your own guideline next to NFounds ! That's why I asked
I follow what you're trying to achieve and in fact I'm waiting to test the LabMods. Thnx !
As said, I come along with many people asking how to go back and forth between N,O and Pie. I know what to do in such occasions but many don't.
Because of your tools I'll leave the full guide on that up to you

I have not developed new kernels but I have taken care of both situations. Just go to the TWRP Labs Mod thread, the info is in the OP and you can ask there too. This thread is all about the Pie implementations, Let's try to keep on topic as much as possible.
really hope MIUI 10 will be stable enough, miss MIUI
HOW TO...
Round Trip from NOUGAT or OREO to PIE GSI
OK, the full instructions to go from Nougat or Oreo to Pie, and back, would be:
Prerequisite
Bootloader Unlocked Axon 7
Install tools and configuration
1. Install TWRP Labs Mod Custom Recovery. Use the B12 version in case you are currently using Oreo encryption. Reboot to recovery.
2. Open the PARTY tool under Advanced > Oki Labs. If you do not have vendor partition you need to create one. Use the default configuration (System, 512MiB, at the end). Accept to reboot recovery. If the vendor partition is there, then just leave PARTY tool and continue with the next step.
Backup your daily driver config:
3. Go to the EDL Backup tool under Advanced > Oki Labs and create the Backup zip choosing FULL. If something goes wrong you will be able to restore your device using TWRP or MiFlash
4. From the Main Menu, backup your Data partition to the External SD.
5. Backup your Internal Storage using the option under Advanced > Oki Labs (Check the available space, the tool is not yet checking for available space, I will add it this weekend)
Prepare Treble configuration:
6. From TWRP Install the special B12 Bootloader with enabled EDL key combo support (The Universal Bootstack leads to DFU mode) and the modem for your region.
7. From the Main Menu, Wipe Vendor
8. Flash Axon 7 Treble ROM v1.1
Flash GSI package:
9. From the Main Menu, Wipe Dalvik / Cache / System / Data
10. From here you have to follow the installation instruction for the Generic System Image (GSI). Usually it is a single img file. So go to Install, press Install_Image button and navigate to the GSI file to flash it. Then just reboot. Some images would require additional ZIPs such as GApps or recommended patches.
Here you test the Pie ROM. If you want to test another Pie ROM you can try just going back to step 9. However, to ensure everything is clean you should start in step 7.
Return to your Daily Driver Config
11. Boot Recovery and flash the backup EDL ZIP you created in step 4. If you bricked your device just extract the contents of the file in your HD, Boot your phone into EDL mode, and use MiFlash. This step restore your original bootstack, modem and OS.
12. From main menu restore your Data partition
13. Go to Advanced > Oki Labs and restore Storage.
14. If you had to create the vendor partition in step 2, just run the PARTY tool again to remove the vendor partition.
15. From the Main Menu, Wipe Dalvik / Cache and reboot to system.
New Builds :A-only !
Pixel Experience seems default camera is working now
ArrowOS
Misc
Magisk Camera Module (MI A2 stock camera for Pie) - tested and works very good. Even flash is synchronised as well.
@Oki, I'm having an issue flashing your B12 bootloader. When I flash I get an error saying the zip is corrupt. I've tried downloading 3 times, and flashed from both internal and external storage. Any suggestions?

Hi all,
Sorry bit of a noob here - looking to install Pie or Pixel ROM on my pocoF1 - I have fastboot and TWRP now set up but slight complication when I go to wipe and install - the tutorials I have seeen shows an img file - where as the downloads I have see so far has been files within the zip folder.
Not sure what to do here ?
Thanks
DS
So since TWRP is already set up this means that your data has already been wiped so no need to worry about that.
Grab the latest vendor-firmware from here and/or here . Flash in TWRP
and reboot. If all goes well reboot into TWRP, else PANIC! (just kidding...). Now flash latest PE. Note PE comes in two
flavours. I use AOSP. Some people prefer CAF. I would suggest trying both and settling on the one you prefer.
NOTE: I haven't mentioned DFE. That's because I don't use it.
Reboot, and all should be well. If you need Magisk, download it and install together with the Magisk Manager.
Note that some people have reported problems with v19.3 so download both 19.3 and 19.2.
Good luck and happy flashing.
Thanks !
Thats great ! thanks for the help will give it a go !

*UPDATE* got lineage OS 16 working - pixel didnt work as I dont think I had the latest kernall (?)
Ok I dont like Lineage lol - look to install stock android on here not sure how (yet) !
* UPDATE 2 *
good news the MUI version was older that I thought so I used the latest vendor firmware (the one used wasnt the latest) then used Pixel experience and got the encryption unsuccesful message- twrp'd changed the folder data type to Ex4 - restart - now ok !
Steepish learning curve - now I think I can try it with other phones !
Good to see you've gotten somewhat... Enjoy...
1. please read this very carefuly.this guide is made from my personal experience.
like some members of this forums told me and i think a little about it,there can be problem about downgrade to oreo with devices who have unlock device from operator.but i believe can be easily unlock with talk with operators,not sure,but be best to check it out by self.
firstly i am not noob,i am developer and compiler for many mtk device. sadly this is my FIRST
samsung device also snapdragon. so for me completely unknown.i want in first root and do custom roms but untill now
i dont find any device tree for this device.kernel source i have but device and vendor tree not.then i found i can
flash gsi on this device. so i do as i will explain in following text.
2. as many other of you i have update device on PIE and next days i install update i found possibility to flash gsi,
so i try. i found patched pie boot.img and try to flash gsi roms but none of them isnt boot.so i stop and again read gsi guide
for flash gsi.i read that devices shipped with some firmwares have chance to flash gsi roms.so i found oreo rom

1. please read this very carefuly.this guide is made from my personal experience.
like some members of this forums told me and i think a little about it,there can be problem about downgrade to oreo with devices who have unlock device from operator.but i believe can be easily unlock with talk with operators,not sure,but be best to check it out by self.
firstly i am not noob,i am developer and compiler for many mtk device. sadly this is my FIRST
samsung device also snapdragon. so for me completely unknown.i want in first root and do custom roms but untill now
i dont find any device tree for this device.kernel source i have but device and vendor tree not.then i found i can
flash gsi on this device. so i do as i will explain in following text.
2. as many other of you i have update device on PIE and next days i install update i found possibility to flash gsi,
so i try. i found patched pie boot.img and try to flash gsi roms but none of them isnt boot.so i stop and again read gsi guide
for flash gsi.i read that devices shipped with some firmwares have chance to flash gsi roms.so i found oreo rom
for our device and flash it with odin.rom is boot without any problems.i set up all things as normall(google account)
and after all setup i go to device info and tap on build numbers 7-10 times and then developer settings is open,then i

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was planning on trying to flash a GSI, but I have to wait 7 days for the OEM unlock on Stock Oreo. Of these files you listed, I do not have the "oreo patched boot." This is also necessary, and if so, where do I find it?
Thank you in advance and I count on your help.

Thank you! I followed in his footsteps and was successful in installing LineageOS 16. Working very well, but I felt a slight problem regarding the audio volume, which is extremely low.
I would like to ask one more question, which is about testing other GSI: Is there a need to install one of those files, or just the image and Magisk?
Thank you very much.

once you perform flashing gsi,no need repeat every time this steps,just (at least i do like that) format data,reboot to recovery,flash gsi(as system.image) and flash magisk then mount system and reboot.about audio volume install viper fx audio apk(Magisk module),and then fix volume as your own.

thank you bro. i definetly try this on pie upgrade and inform you.thank you for your hard work. i am on vacation and when i come home i will try this.thank you and greetings from Croatia.:good:
also i stop build gsi roms for j4+ because my pc is old so i need little upgrade of same( RAM(have only 4 gb,need for pie at least 8 gb ,my motherboard can have 32 gb,), my processor is i3 but i will upgrade on i5 and after that i will continue work on it. but now i am on vacation with my wife and children and when i come hom ei will continue to work it.thank you once more.
So, since there is not alot of development going on for our device, i thought we could maybe work together to get something done four our Mi Note 10.
Android Q (10) Guide
1) Flash Miui 12 beta
2) Flash Latest OrangeFox Recovery
3) Format Data
4) Wipe dalvik and cache
5) Reboot to Recovery
6) Flash an GSI of your choice (Arm64-AB)
7)Resize the system partition
8) Optional: Flash Opengapps
9) Optional: Flash Magisk
Restart system
Enjoy
(Big thanks to deathhall)
For me Havoc Q works really well, also face unlock works with Havoc
Havoc specific bugs: SMS doesnt work with 4G, Gcam works only with the main lens and frontfacing lens
Havoc 3.6
Android Pie (9) Guide
How to flash these on the Mi Note 10?
1) Flash Orange Fox TWRP
2) Factory reset in TWRP / format Data!
4) Fastboot: fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
5) Download the ARM64-AB version of your desired rom
6) Flash AB system.img of your GSI in TWRP
7) Flash magisk
8) reboot
That worked for me with both GSIs
Lineage OS 16.0
HAVOC OS 2.9
Whats not working?
- Fingerprint (Needs custom overlay)
- Automatic Brightness (Needs custom overlay)
- Camera works fine, but Video seems a little bit weird
- NFC, but this can be fixed with a magisk module
NFC FIX
Kind of a fix for automatic brightness
Video fix
If you have weird notification sounds delete the SoundFX folder from /Vendor/lib and /Vendor/lib64
Framework-res.apk (Provided by ChriZer)
Great work my friend, hopefully these will be the stepping stones to development and we can get the ball rolling on more in the future!

Try with 11.0.12
Couldnt get either to actually boot, couldn't get any OTA's to actually flash with OrangeFox.
I flashed:
miui_TUCANAEEAGlobal_V11.0.11.0.PFDEUXM_9fa3ae20ce_9.0
then tried to flash:
miui-blockota-tucana_eea_global-V11.0.11.0.PFDEUXM-V11.0.12.0.PFDEUXM-ecf4ee46b2-9.0
and just get an error.
I tried following your steps written in the OP, but the BlockOTA fails to flash. Or if I just use a fresh install and Format data, and try to install the GSI's it rewrites the system to system_root and magisk won't install and it just bootloops.

Android 11 GSi is out can you give it a shot?
Status?
Is anybody using the LOS GSI as a daily driver?
If there is just the small amount of bugs like in the description, it might be fine for now. At least for me.
Or are there other small bugs 'not worth mentioning' ?
In another parallel thread 'Will there be a custom ROM?', two heros decided to work on our phone... I wish them the best!
Hi all, I have spent a good few weeks testing almost all Android 10 (Q) GSIs for tucana (our device). My findings are relatively positive and are as follows:
I got Pixel Experience as well as EvolutionX from @expressLukeGSI to boot and both seem to work with minimal bugs... The main bug I found was an audio bug commoly associated with GSIs; the audio sounds as if the device is underwater. A simple fix to this bug was flashing audiofix for GSIs.
I also got OxygenOS to boot from @erfanGSI as well as others but these had major bugs (e.g. device reboots automatically, immediately after connecting to WIFI).
Other Android Q GSIs that booted include LineageOS, CAOS, AOSP, Descendant as well as Havoc (from GSI page - Android Q Section - on Github). With regards to LineageOS, once rooted with magisk it will NOT boot.
Under Display Fingerprint does NOT work on any GSIs currently and Face Unlock only works on specific GSIs.
If you'd like more info on the GSIs I have tested or would like me to test further please don't hesitate to contact me via private message, I'll be glad to help wherever possible.

Sorry, I never saw the "imo" part of your reply.
That is correct, once again this is minor for me but maybe not for some. Although I can confirm that battery drain is significantly decreased when using GSIs. Even without the auto brightness battery life is much better.
I am currently using/testing the Evolution X GSI from ExpressLukeGSI.

Interesting, i cant get GSIs to boot, did you do something different?
Are you wiping Dalvik, System, Data and Cache, and then flashing the preferred GSI?
If the above method is not working, search "Download the MIUI 12 Closed Beta for Xiaomi and Redmi devices XDA" on google, download MIUI 12 beta for tucana/Mi Note 10 (our device) and flash it in TWRP. Then perform a wipe as usual and flash preferred GSI.

I was on MIUI 20.6.11 -MiRoom when I flashed the Bliss GSI, my exact steps where:
Flash Latest OrangeFox Recovery
Formata Data
Format dalvik and cache
Reboot to Recovery
Flash GSI -Arm64-AB or BvN depending on the owner
Go to Data in the manage partition menu and resize partition
Flash Opengapps, I used 10.0 Pico
Restart system
Admittedly, I flashed the GSI but not the gapps first, just to see if it would boot, which it did. then I formatted only cache and dalvik, then resized and flashed Gapps. and it booted and took me right into the setup from the notification that came up when it booted.
Hey guys found our first custom ROM, it's not official but I've been using it for about a week now and the performance is excellent.
There is not many bugs that I've noticed and build is very stable. One big I've noticed is that when kernel is on performance, the screen does not go off automatically.
I've used Kernel Tasker to avoid this issue by turning on performance for certain apps and games, while keeping the system at Interactive for most tasks.
At the bottom is the link for instructions, the OS and gapps. There is a thread in this forum for passing safety net which I recommend. It solved all issues for me since magisk is failing safety net while other safety apps are passing. All the best rooting enjoy the ROM.

I am still using this ROM daily with no problems, before you flash make sure you remove Mi Account. If you do not remove account, phone will bootloop with any ROM you flash.

Defintely something wrong. I *did*remove my Mi Account, but to no avail, the phone keeps returning to Pich Black Recovery. I would say: not at all recommended to use this ROM. I am quite experienced in rooting phones, but this one fails in any respect. Do not use this ROM!

Follow the instructions on the website to the T, wipe when it tells u to wipe and flash everything in order.
The model 9C I'm using is the global variant and it's not NFC. So perhaps you guys are using different variant but I doubt that could be the problem.
I believe somewhere u guys skipped or improvised a step because from my experience with rooting, 1 little detail skipped or over looked or something that might seem harmless can brick a phone.
I have been rooting since 2015 and my 1st phone was hauwei mate 7. Nearly hard bricked the phone and I had to pay to unlock bootloader using DC Unlocker. I rooted using a 3rd party rooting app, can't remember the name but it almost cost me the phone.
But this ROM works for me but it's a gsi ROM, it's not actually a custom ROM. There are other gsi ROMs out there that u could try. Download treble info for more info on which gsi is compatible.

I remember now, King Root that was the culprit app I used with that hauwei mate 7. 1st and last time I ever rooted with 3rd party app. I was so proud of myself when I saved that phone lol still am.
Booting into Lineage ROM. Perhaps others will have difficulty but if u follow instructions carefully and phone has been rooted properly, it will work.
I recommend the guide for rooting by 0purple. How to root and pass safetynet.
Also very important remove Mi account and reboot phone to insure that phone won't lock similar to Google account lock. So remove all accounts and back up data. As the instructions indicate you will be wiping phone as OS requires a clean install.
i flash this customer rom to remove mi account after done camera not work! and after format user data now stuck at recovery i reflash it with stock rom and custom rom but always stuck at logo ! any solution pleas?

I think the ROM originally posted might have a problem. Try follow my link and use 'snooks4tech's' rom. There is also a different recovery and vbmeta in this download that I flashed in fastboot. The rest of the process I more or less followed as per dawood99's video, eg the step to wipe those 3 things in Pitchblack, copy this rom over, and install it along with Gapps and Magisk with Pitchblack. I don't see Magisk in my phone now though. I'm not very experienced with custom roms BTW so not too sure if I had the right Magisk file. Snooks4tech's download has got instructions as well and does not mention Magisk. Thanks to Dawood99 for the video, even if I had problems with the rom it gave me a good overview of the steps and I learned a lot.
PS maybe I didn't answer your question. I had to download the Mi flasher, somehow I got it back into Fastboot, I think by holding power and down volume, then flashed it back to stock Xiaomi. Then I started the custom rom flashing process again. I think I flashed Pitchblack again, and Snooks4tech's vbmeta and recovery. It then booted into Pitchblack properly again, and I could do the rest.
So far this rom is working reasonably well for me, Google play store doesn't work but I side-install APK's by downloading from browser. F-droid app is also intermittently not giving me any apps when I search.
Again I'm not expert at all this so take what I say with a pinch of salt, I could be talking rubbish here and there.
Both ROMs and Install Instructions cause in a boot into PBRP recovery (tried with v3.0+3.1) and MIUI also doesn't boot :-(
My steps:
- In PBRP recovery
-> adb reboot bootloader
In Bootloader
-> fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta9c.img
Then I reboot phone with 3 different trys
-> 1. fastboot reboot
-> 2. Power On + Vol Up
-> 4. Power On + Vol Down
--> With all trys phone reboots into PBRP recovery
Push ZIP Files via MTP isn't possible, so:
-> adb push [LineageROM].zip /
-> adb push [GApps].zip /
Then in PBRP I go to "Install"
-> [LineageROM].zip with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
-> [GApps].zip also with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
Then I reboot to system from PBRP
But then PitchBlack reboots into recovery
Upgrade and downgrade of PBRP from 3.0 to 3.1 and back to 3.0 works without any problems.
Please help me, many thanks in advance!
/edit: Flashed original MIUI and reinstalled PBRP, then tried to install Lineage again, but boots only in recovery after flashing booth ROMs.

Thanks dude but I'm not responsible for making that video or am I responsible for the website or the files posted on it. I merely stumbled upon the ROM and I should not be credited for it. The creator is credited on the Website I believe and all credit should go to him.

Hey guys found our first custom ROM, it's not official but I've been using it for about a week now and the performance is excellent.
There is not many bugs that I've noticed and build is very stable. One big I've noticed is that when kernel is on performance, the screen does not go off automatically.
I've used Kernel Tasker to avoid this issue by turning on performance for certain apps and games, while keeping the system at Interactive for most tasks.
At the bottom is the link for instructions, the OS and gapps. There is a thread in this forum for passing safety net which I recommend. It solved all issues for me since magisk is failing safety net while other safety apps are passing. All the best rooting enjoy the ROM.
