Hi, Iam new to Xiaomi phones and I would like to know what is GSI.
Thanks
You can google it instead of post a thread and wait for answer.
GSI
To be shortened, its a generic system image ( rom ) that can run on multiple devices.

I was planing to buy the Oneplus 6. So when I searched the Web for a Official Lineage OS ROM I found the Article I linked below telling me that there maybe never be a Official Lineage OS ROM for this phone. This being the only bit of information I was able to find about A/B seamless updates and the implications this means for OFFICIAL Custom ROMS this leads me to two questions.
The device specific Question. Will there ever be a Official Lineage OS ROM for the Oneplus 6?
The broader non device specific Question is about A/B seamless updates and the future that means for OFFICIAL Lineage OS ROMS.
No device with A/B has ever received a Official Lineage OS ROM (even the Pixel 2 which supports Treble).
Does A/B makes it impossible that this apparently unstoppable course can change in the future?

just a matter of time and about how many devices will need a treble compatible and A/B compatible version. the more of those pop up on the market the sooner they'd have to either cease development or adopt the new infrastructure which is already happening at this very moment.
hello
Has anyone had success flashing 12.5 miui gsi on the mi mix 2s (twrp or orangefox recovery) - the baseband is lost and restoring it through a backup does not work until you restore a full backup from another rom (like 12.0.3 or lower or aosp/lineage). For whatever reason, the baseband is blocked when the gsi is loaded (boots up but no baseband or sometimes no device id depending on which device gsi was ported from). This was not case on mi max 3 (both android 10 miui). So i suspect it has to do with something in the recovery or the boot process where the imei and baseband are lost or not loaded. Thanks.
If you would share the link to the gsi used I will give it a try and see what I can figure out. You can pm it to me or post it in thread.

I do not have the device any longer but am planning to get one if there is some progress on flashing miui gsi's. Telegram was of no help (folks focused on aosp etc) though one or two volunteered some advice (one user "Carl" did try out and got the same results regardless coming from miui vendor or aosp vendor). Mi max 3 community is very focused and has had great success in porting miui gsi's like 12.5 and later on to the the mi max 3-they have even made an android 11 miui! (device older and inferior SOC compared to mi mix 2s) Will post details soon (just saw your message today June 12th) hope you still have the device
Hello. I have a Poco X3 Pro and i'd like to flash the new Android 13 GSI on it. I have two questions. First, i'll take the GSI on the official Android website. I do not know if it is an A/B rom, and the Poco X3 Pro has only an A slot. If it is an A/B rom, would i still be able to flash it ? Second, can i flash the GSI on TWRP ? I don't have the dynamic partition yet (super partition) because i never went to Android 13, I am on Android 12. Do i need to flash it via fastboot, or is TWRP OK ?
Any reponses would be very helpful to me, thanks in advance.
Use a dsu loader tool from here with root to try a gsi image without booting to any recovery it just used about 2gb internal for storage if you want to test the gsi rom . Gsi roms are for testing only

It is not possible until they have an Android 13 version and we have an active thread for this already
Is custom recovery possible/something that's being worked on?
Hi all, I hope this isn't a thread that has already been posted... I found it interesting that there is no TWRP or any custom recovery for Pixel 7/7 Pro. I understand it's not needed to flash different rom's such as Paranoid Android or Spark OS...

Hello everyone,
i want to install a custom rom for my device tecno spark 8c because the stock rom is so trash like ads limit apps i hate it i tried to search for a custom rom for my device and i didnt find any resource or link for existing custom rom for my device does any one know where i can find or if there is one i will be greatfull and thanks
While there is no custom ROM's for your device, your next bet should be GSI's or Generic System Images. These are ROM's with a one-size-fits-all design. Maybe you can search around for a custom ROM you like and see if they have a GSI available.

Here's a tutorial that I used before: https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/
Also, here's a minimal ROM that has a GSI available: https://havoc-os.com/
Do note that you need a GSI that matches or is a higher android version than the current system.

ok i read a little about gsi and project reble so the rom is basicaly a rom that run on anydevice because the vendor or arcitecture kinda separate from software didnt quite understand what i need is that my device to meet the terble project requierments so i am able to install it.
ok so here i found this link
https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-12-tecno-spark-8c-kg5k/
i find it before i create this thread and it shows gsi first i didnt want to use it because the rom source unknown for me i didnt know gsi and anything else i was not trusting it
ok so now if i want to search a good gsi rom compatable with my device other than this i want to know if my device compatable with project treble where can i see that and what famuos roms are have this kind like lineage ,and similar to havoc so i find the i like its features and compatble
