Can please some good developer manage to provide something like that custom twrp with dual boot or any other alternative way?
Your mentioned example for the one plus 7 pro uses the unused B partition from A/B partition slot to boot other ROMs.
Sadly our device uses A-Only partitioning scheme.

Your device already rooted right? How long u wait to unlock bootloader?

You have to wait 604,800 seconds. Same for everyone
A possible solution could be to create a new dynamic partition and flash your custom OS onto it.
people on xda working on that for other fons already here (TWRP), here (TWRP) and here (orangefox). would be great to have that for poco x3 nfc too

Did you check those posts and above comment? They all do use A/B partitions the x3 does not have. And imo a true non buggy/ deep hack multi boot solution without partition support is yet to find.
i was showing links i found for anyone interested and hopefully//partially//capable in developing a solution. it is clear, the poco does not have a/b patition scheme. are you mad i did not provide a solution?

Why should I be mad? I am not interested in dual boot. I am just telling you, that it wont be of any help as all 3 links point to OnePlus devices (2 also to already linked OP7) where TWRP/OF does make use of A/B partitioning. It doesnt mather how many twrp dual boot links you post if you can clearly see that they use s.t. which the x3 nfc does not have.
To make that more clear here mi a2 A/B do you think it will help? No. Several old methods of dual booting, one thing more buggy than the other https://www.xda-developers.com/dual-boot-on-android-a-power-users-holy-grail/ and lets not forget https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-boot-manager-pro-dual-boot-unlimited-roms-wip.1617055/ ... all useless (never stable or for A10+ anyway). There was this rel good working method for Sony Dev. loading up in early in modified kernel but yeah device specific, limited kernel & Co. .... Had no future. Except A/B partitioning there is simply nothing that works (good and/or modern devices).
you have clearly more oversight. i just guessed A/B partitioning can be done somehow. maybe dual boot is not even the best solution for what i am looking for. it used to be for me some years ago.
still searching for best solution to use banking+navigation but avoid gaugle + tracking as much as possible. keeping data with myself using FOSS apps+nextcloud is what i started with recently. OT.

Hey guys!
So as well all know support for this device is pretty Mich close to nothing, but luckily it sports the A/B partition system like the Pixel phones, so Treble GSI Roms are compatible. However, simply flashing the GSI files doesnt seem to work, it ends up in a boot loop.
Anyone willing to guide me or help out?
I'm sure there are many device owners who would be happy to have someone help them
Update: My bad, I used to have the Essential Phone which had the AB partition system
it doesnt support a/b partition is a-only... i wrote a guide about how to install android 10 on u11+ : https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-u11/how-to/how-to-install-android-10-htc-u11-t4100409

I have a Motorola one vision and I want to multiboot it. I already have twrp and magisk root, but when I try to install dualboot patcher or multirom etc... (I have tried all of them) it says that my phone isn't compatible with those multiboots.
Can someone help me porting a multiboot for my phone?

I've never used any of those tools myself but my guess is that they're outdated and doesn't work on devices with A/B slots.
In theory you'd be able to dual boot by switching slots, but it's not exactly that simple in reality.
Both slots share the same data partition, so in order to switch slot you'd have to reset or even format data every time you switch.
Not very practical.
To make it work properly I think we would need a custom made twrp and a repartitioned data so that also data would be split up as A/B.
Kind of how oneplus 7 solved dual boot.

I know a flashing zip that adapt dualboot patcher for other devices, but when I flashed it returned with an error.

The developer of Dualboot patcher had dropped the project due to change in android rom structure done by google i.e system as root structure, starting from pie i guess, which totally doesn't work with Dualboot patcher's mbtool.
So adding support for new devices running right from pie won't work. And yes, the one plus method will work ,but there is need of lots of coding, proper repartitioning and above that many testers are needed.
Hello, I want to install official android 12 GSI ROM on my device (Mi A2). I have stock ROM installed on my device and I want to install it by following the official installation instructions. I doubt my device will work with official installation instructions, but my device is fully treble supported. Will my device work in this case? The only answer to this question will be to do this, but I'm afraid of bricking my device.
Everyone can answer you. Not means that he answer you because he knows the answer since he born !
He had search, read & get knowledge.
It always recommended to read about Gsi carefully before install it on your device if you fear bricking then find out on your responsibility.
Hope you got me.
Regards

Every one followed the official method has get successfully installation. most devices has same instructions. sometimes you get stuck on Boot loop or system not booting just change the version of GSI build.
Good luck

Thanks, then I'll have to take the risk. If the GSI does not boot I will install the stock ROM. I haven't reset it to factory reset since I bought it. Or I will buy a Pixel device to avoid dealing with all this, but Google Pixel devices are not sold in Turkey.

I tried to install on my redmi 6a. Treble compatible. However failed. Even android 10 gsi not working! Bootloops only. I have bricked my phone 100 times because now i have found an easy way to unbrick it without taking off back cover!!!

Just because your device is treble compatible doesn't mean it supports new Android versions. Did you check if it supports new versions?

It doesn't matter which chip it is. It matters what version the phone was released with and whether it supports future GSI releases.

There's probably this reason behind it: The kernel, Vendor etc of the stock rom is 32 bit only. Unfortunately there is no 32 bit gsi image. I tried finding some 64 bit OS for my device but there is none

After researching I was wrong but 32 bit vendor just so interesting
@LazCoder
Your phone's SoC is 64-bit.
You will need to recompile your entire ROM as 64 bit, then flash the GSI
GSIs will need the vendor and kernel and well everything else to be 64 bit

Official sources say it's possible. But you should check compatibility first.
I was wondering if anyone has tried running a GSI. Would that even be possible at this stage, since development is still in its infancy? Thank you and please have a nice day.

Yes. I have flashed every one possible lol. They work get in most cases with a few common GSI annoyances.. VNDK and vndk lite versions I've found best. Use arm64 ab../ arm64 ab vndk/lite.

So were you able to get the phone and messages working ?? My only problem is that it sees I'm on verizon but that's it .. doesn't see my number , hence, no communication.. if you can kindly direct me to directions and/or the ROM itself. I'd appreciate it ..

Umm honestly cant believe your able to gert verizon unloacked at all.. the newest eternetyson gsis LIR and CRdrom version 313 have come the closet to perfect. imactually doint it now. Ur problem is actually posible what ijust lierally ready of today.. It had to do with (mostlikely) version and ur acconit needing to have an option added call ?less provisioning? or something like that and also said to make sure u log out of and verzon messenger apps manually since they use rcs and ims sservivces simliar to iphone.. If u have telgram hit me up names RITMO or if not my cell is 856 896 7600 feell free to text me .. THere a ****load I can help you at least understand and many things to avoid that ive learned. but in mean time. flash brand new full stock firmware, boot it skip setup, logout of messages, enable devand dbug, then from there only erase system img, flash vmbeta, and theres a product gsi file to flsah so u do not need to delte any logical partitinos. Check out eternityson gsi on telegram or google for the files. fastboot -w, then factory reset in stock recov. then boot gsi.. setup same, then only then magisk and recovery.. also stick with VNDK or lite versions which allow magisk.. GOOD luck.. HIt me UP! Google android ims telephony hal layer probems on generic system image .. Your verizon pages should be there or just gogle versizon ims telephony not working gsi.. blabla..
I have the 2115-3 cricket version oem unlock is enabled in dev options but can't get bootloader unlock code thru Motorola but I did notice 4 GSI roms in the DSU would I be able to get root from one of those potentially?
I'm running OOS 10.3.8 on my OP 7Pro (GM1917). Currently, I boot into that OS via the B partition.
I'd like to duplicate everything in the B partition and install it on the device's A partition, so that I can switch between the A and B partition and boot up identically, no matter which partition I choose.
In the past, I did what is described in the two following posts in order to duplicate B onto A:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...droid-device-partitions.2450045/post-83339451
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83389563&postcount=2818
I could do that again, but I'm wondering if perhaps a newer way of accomplishing this might have been developed since back then.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Well, I got impatient, and I just re-ran what I described above, and it worked.
I'm still wondering if there might be a better way to do this, however.
