Have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP 3.7.0_9-0
Have tried to flash Pixel Experience 11, Pixel Experience 12 and Arrow v11
All of them just hang at first boot, with the animated logo. I left each for over half an hour.
Have wiped everything I can think to wipe.
Is there something obvious I'm failing to do ? Lineage 18.1-20210620 was on the device before I started.
Edit: I can re-install Lineage 18.1 but nothing newer. Do I need to do something to enable newer ROM flashes?

To check:
TWRP/O.F
wipe/format data type yes
reboot Twrp/O.F
Flash latest firmware (if necessary).
Flash the rom as instructed by the OP.

Use TWRP by REIGNZ based on A12 system_ext. You can find it my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides along with Guides for clean installation.
P.S: Near the link of twrp by reign you will also find a link for the current bugs/issues and workaround for them.

Until today, I had been running Cyanogenmod for Android 6. I decided to install Lineage OS with Android 7 and downloaded the latest version. I did a dirty flash but a bootloop happened after installation. So I followed this tutorial.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
I did everything from the beginning to have a fresh start. After I had TWRP installed, I installed magisk, then Lineage OS, then gapps -> bootloop.
Then everything again. TWRP -> Lineage OS -> gapps ->bootloop
Then everything again TWRP -> Lineage OS-> bootloop
Then I tried latest Nitrogen OS. Everything the same order as above -> bootloop.
Then even with the latest official MIUI -> bootloop
Then I tried the stock rom Miui 7.25 from the tutorial link above. And that one worked. So I cannot install a rom with Android 7.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Bootloader must be unlocked officially or flash latest MIUI global beta & unlock unofficially

It all works now for some reason. However, now my phone doesn't recognize the whole internal storage. The problem appeared after I had flashed a fastboot MIUI rom and TWRP again. When I entered recovery mode, TWRP showed that there are only 10gb of storage total, even though there should be 25 gb. It is as if the space is not formatted or something.
Anyone got a clue?

Did you wipe everything in recovery?
Hello. I have an unlocked G8342, and I'm trying installing phh's GSI. But after I flashed the system image, I cannot boot my phone. It just shows "SONY" and then rebooted automatically.
I tried flashing the SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_9.0_2.3.2_v5_yoshino.img or SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_8.1.6.4_r1_v16_yoshino.img.
Before I unlock my phone, I've upgraded to the official Pie release. But what I'm installing is Oreo. Does this matter? Or what should I do in order to make it work?

if u dont backup ur TA partition before unlocking your bootloader, camera will not work on oreo gsi roms. I recommend u can try pie gsi roms, but it has worse camera quality and stability issues..

I just cannot even boot the GSI ROM. The camera might have issues, but it's not important right now...

what gsi rom are you trying to flash? Do you have TWRP installed? I have a SOV36 (Japan AU version) and it boots with most of all gsi's. Currently using omni rom.
Here is my steps for flashing.
1. boot into twrp
2. goto wipe and factory reset (don't wipe data, system or cache just factory reset)
3. flash img
3a. optional: goto wipe; repair and resize system (if you want gapps)
4. flash gapps
5. flash magisk if you want root
6. reboot
Hope this helps

I have tried the Phh's latest 9.0 GSI and RR's GSI and ERFAN's Q GSI and the official q GSI from Google.
None of them work, all stuck on the Sony boot logo

latest RR gsi did not work for me either but roms like omni, bootleggers, lineage 16 all booted on my SOV 36
Flash the lastest pie ftf, then follow sinkoo1979, instructions, also be sure you only flash ARM64-A versions.. I know Omni, Bliss and bootleggers work with imo bootleggers was the nicest but the unofficial one here has ceased development.. Use open camera for your pics...
The Roms are a hit or miss...make and keep a twrp backup handy...
Hey guys, I'm trying to install LineageOS GSI (arm64 A/B) on my Mi A3 and seem to be having some trouble getting the GSI to actually boot successfully.
I have already done my research both on XDA and elsewhere online, yet most threads focused on the device seem to be of little to no use and/or filled with spam replies that only serve to confuse people looking into this.
A quick note regarding the aforementioned threads:
I don't mean to sound disrespectful to the community, but honestly, bashing somebody over why they'd rather install anything but your own fav piece of software is completely ridiculous.
Without further ado, my case goes as follows:
I'm starting fresh with the latest stock firmware, after having unlocked my bootloader ofc (critical too), I've successfully installed TWRP, wiped, installed the system image and yet after rebooting I'm just greeted with good ol' Fastboot, at which point I either directly flash the stock firmware and try again or wipe my data and whatnot (through TWRP, if reinstalled) and still end up with Fastboot.
Therefore, I have to ask you guys:
Has anyone previously successfully installed any GSI rom on the Mi A3?
Did you flash the system img while on stock firmware or a previously flashed custom rom (ie Pixel Experience)?
Is there any need for any special patch similar to the ones used for MIUI based Xiaomi phones?
Did you face any other issues while trying to flash a GSI?
My intention is to eventually install microG using Nanodroid.
Thanks for asking. I was trying to flash Havoc, crDroid and MSM-Xtended Android 10 GSIs but I can't boot the phone.
I have flashed lots of GSIs in the past, but this is really intriguing me, I can't boot on Mi A3. Wiping or formatting data does not solve, neither Permissiver or Disable Dm-verity zips did the job... :crying:
I successfully bootet the LineageOS GSI yesterday. I was not coming from stock though. I think this process should work assuming you already bootet to TWRP:
1. flash the GSI image to system partition using TWRP
2. flash the TWRP installer to keep your recovery
3. (not sure if needed) flash no fde patch
4. optional: flash some other stuff like Magisk and gapps
5. wipe data and dalvik
I think it rebooted to recovery on my first try but worked after flashing everything again. I probably made some mistake on my first attempt but just make sure to try again before giving up.
Also there's this tutorial but it's not at all what I did to get it working:

Hello
I have a poco f1 and I tried to flash from a week ago and here are the problems I faced.
1) I have shifted from latest miui to pixel experience plus from last week and the first problem I faced was when I tried to flash disable force encryption my phone didn't boot in the room it would get stuck on the google logo I did flash dfe while after flashing twrp to permanently install it but my device was still encrypted. Because of this, I have to remove all passwords before flashing anything.
2) After I tried PEP Rom I wanted to shift to evolution x and I downloaded the last built 4.7 android 10 official for poco f1 and flashed it in twrp and it was installed successfully but when I click on reboot system twrp showed no os installed. No one faced this problem but idk y I did.
3) My twrp doesn't show any portion to wipe vendor so I planned to shift on orange fox today and saw that as I install orange fox it would get stuck on orange fox logo and doesn't boot up.
Finally, I read this on some site
This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.
I never installed any custom kernel before installing PEP Rom on my device and people say that we have to flash lazy flaser what is this.
plz do explain every think in detail as i tried asking many YouTubers non of them responded.
Thank You
When all fails. The only solution is to flash miui stock rom.
Hello to everyone reading this...
This was my first time doing anything with twrp and generally flashing custom roms.
So i unlocked bootloader on my Poco F1 in like no time (didnt even had to wait 3 days) and flashed via adb twrp... then i installed twrp in twrp and my os (miui) unfortunatly vanished. Now im kinda stuck here. when trying to install a OS, it says it worked but then:
- reboot into twrp
- No os installed
My Custom Rom i tried to install is the Pixel Experience Plus one and even the stock miui 12.0.3 rom recovery didnt work.
Do i need to install magisk or disable force encryption or disable dm verity?
i used the newest twrp :twrp-3.5.2_10-0-beryllium.img
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you
