1. download fastboot ROM from Xiaomi, run flash_all_except_storage.bat (or flash it in MiFlash)
Congrats, you have stock device!
This way you are sure that you have correct boot.img corresponding to your ROM (otherwise OTA update will fail) and not some "random file from the Internet".
Thank you very much!!!! Was looking for this in a pretty long time!!!
Nope. This boot.img doesn't work for me. After completing the instructions I'm just getting the Mi logo and then restart and it goes on forever. Maybe my system.img is bad??? Can anybody give me a link to a perfect Oreo fastboot ROM, becuase I found two: the one is my current ROM and the other one's system.img "cannot be extracted".

This one works for me https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75027522&postcount=63
Currently I'm rooted, but I fully booted right after flashing it without any mods and ROM started fine.
It will show some sparse warning during flashing, but it will complete the process OK.
Really? Is that what you're using? That's the exact one with the system.img errors. Nah, maybe a bad download.

Yep, working fine (well, except the video recording bug, but that is most probably Xiaomi's fault). I downloaded this file as well (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/tool-aosp-8-0-ql1515-dec-8-2017-t3722184) and extracted and compared both system.img files and they are exactly the same except the very small difference - second one allows encryption as optional (modified) vs. forced (stock) in fstab. It might cause bootloop if you try to lock the bootloader with that system. Try to redownload files from Mega..

Hmm... redownloaded from Mega, says
Code:
error: cannot load '.\system.img'
Yes, I'm sure the file is in the current folder.
I tried a different fastboot.exe and the error is more specific this time :
Code:
target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
Edit: The weird thing is that all other images from this Fastboot ROM install and work just fine. I've even used the boot.img from it. It works without any problems. The system is problematic.

First fastboot.exe is probably old, second one seems to be fine. Just wait until it starts flashing system.img, it will take a minute or two and will look like frozen (fastboot has to split file into 6 smaller ones, probably has something to do with missing sparse format), be patient and don't interrupt the process.

If you want to return to stock ROM and never use Magisk again, then you might want to uninstall Magisk first. But if you are only unrooting to apply OTA for example, it is enough to flash stock ROM and then reinstall Magisk - all your modules and settings will be kept.

In case you still need it, I'm fairly certain this is the boot image for GM31CB 9.5.5. I extracted it from my own device when I was flashing the international firmware. I will be honest, it might have the Chinese TWRP patched in. I doubt it though since it I can't find any of the TWRP files in the decompiled image.

I hope you already know how to flash GSI on devices with dyamic partition already. If not then you can follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ynamic-super-partition.4256667/#post-85271987
If youre on stock before flashing GSI then dont "fastboot delete-logical-partition product" like other tutorials may suggest. Just flash the product image (fastboot flash product [insert img here]) attached below and it will get resized automatically as well, giving you plenty of space to flash your GSI.
If youve already flashed GSI before following this guide and have done "fastboot delete-logical-partition product" then just create product partition (fastboot create-logical-partition product [size]) and flash the img on product.
whichever course youve taken you can now flash magisk through twrp or patch the boot img and flash that.
Please note that this product image wasnt made by me and the credit for it goes to: @Allexwin50
tested on infinix zero 8 X687
Thanks for the tutorial, I will give it a try but have one question: you said to" create product partition and give size " I don't understand about size!

@kusti420 if I've flashed a GSI on to stock (apart from flashing vbmeta and TWRP) can I fastboot flash that product.img and then successfully TWRP flash magisk or patch with app (using Phh SU temporarily for root) ? is that enough ?
EDIT 1: thought I'd just see for myself, flashed the product_gsi.img and my phone (S20FE 5G) still booted. tried flashing magisk 21.4 zip from TWRP and got a bootloop. will check later if I can patch my boot.img and post.
Hey, where did you take this product_gsi.img? I think it does not work with Android 12, I wonder if it can be updated or something like that.

Obtain a stock copy of your boot.img.
Patch it through the magisk app before you do your whole thing installing your chosen gsi.
Once you have the patched image, you can fastboot it using fastboot flash boot boot.img in cmd onto your gsi ROM.
Make sure to install the boot.img to both slots A and B. Then go back to your active slot.

It's locked to your boot image, so using 100% stock image removes superuser since it's no longer system as root.

Thanks for the file and the tip.
Hello!
I tried the search function but my search-fu isn't strong today. I got a Vortex V22 phone from Standup Wireless. I must have been half asleep, because when i flashed what I assumed was the correct boot.img, I got stuck in a boot loop.
On further investigation, I had flashed the boot for another device called Vortex. I am having incredible difficulty in finding the right boot image. The info I have from the side of the box is:
Vortex V22 4G LTE
Color: Graphite Blue
ROM 32GB
RAM 3GB
OS Android 11
FCC ID 2ADLJ-V22
I deeply appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much!
i was trying to find a phone case for the phone what model number is yours ?
If you're still searching I can try to make a rom dump, I have this phone as well brand new untouched or registered.
I'd just need a tutorial on the proper way to dump and extract the files so I can upload the boot.img
_
I've never used it cause I put the StandUp Wireless sim in my T-Mo InSeeGo 5G HotSpot and prefer to use my Galaxy S8 with Keyboard Cover Case and Unihertz Titan Pocket
Just dumping the firmware from mine, using SP Flash Tool. Used this guide: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12719.html
Will remove userdata & cache, but there is a LOT of gbs of system data. This phone is appearently Treble-enabled with VNDK ver 30, so yes, you can flash a GSI on there. Will provide a custom recovery necessary.
Edit: if you were wondering, this phone has a MT6761 with a eMMC flash.

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

I was able to get a bunch of GSI's that work with it, including the phone you posted, but I was looking to get root and found a couple pre-rooted GSI's that work as well. Newer ones do work as well I has 13 rooted and working. However, I liked the Pixel ROMs the best and would prefer to install those instead and then root. So I need the firmware for that so I can patch a modified boot.img.

You need to reboot to userland fastboot, which you could do by rebooting to normal fastboot then telling fastboot to reboot to fastboot by typing in fastboot reboot fastboot. You will see a new screen, and now you could flash a GSI to the phone.

Thank you. I understand and have a lot of experience with this. However, I still never understood why there is two Fastboot's.
I can't get it to boot in one I flash the super that I backed up that don't get it to boot maybe I could use a good super. What about vbmeta?

Are you looking for a good GSI ROM?
As of right now I'm just trying to get it booted up with any room. I got it rooted and then something I ****ed up when I tried to flash a GSI. And I started messing with the boot a boot b vbMeta from system and blank. And I don't have the firmware an the super that I backed up won't boot when I flash it.
But yes I am indeed looking for a good running a12 rom

I completely messed up one messing with partitions and it took many tries trying to get to was able to still get to the bootloader fastboot and then recovery to fastbootD. You should be able to get it booted into fastbootd and flash as it seems you can.
Try the one below. you should be able to find it with a google search. If you can't let me know and I will try to look and see where I downloaded it from as I cannot remember where I found it.
I've tried many GSI ROM's Some boot fully, some only boot to the boot screen and some won't boot at all.
I'm using 13 rooted LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
It is vanilla. I can't remember if there is a GAPPS version or not. But you can load it all after with magisk. But its rooted.
I still would like if picelboi could share the stock rom, so we can have a boot.img. I would like to try other ROM's that are not PRE-Rooted.

I can't remember which A12 I had working but I was looking for root and the one A12 that was prerooted I had issues with so I went to A13.
This is an A13. LineageOS GSI version 20-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bvS
There may be a newer version of it now.
Also, these phones seem have that internet connect issue with some GSI ROMS and this is one of them I think, they connect to wifi but they won't actually connect to internet, but there is a easy fix for it.
