I've dedicated my whole day to unlock the bootloader on my phone. And then, I realized.. to install android 11, you need a treble supported device.
which i obviously don't have on my 4 year old phone.
Is there any way to install Android 7 or newer to a non-treble supported device (htc desire 650)?

Hello, I would like to buy a htc u11 life (android one version) but I ask myself a few questions: /
1) is it compatible with treble project and new system of update with 2 partition (a/b) ?
2) is the bootloader easy to unlock ?
3) is there a USB C cable to A with the phone ?
4) is it easy to find and download the factory image (for update with root) ?
Thanks

Hello,
1) Yes it is compatible with Project Treble and also with the 2 Partition Update.
2) Yes the bootloader is easy to unlock. Unfortunately not quite as easy as on a Pixel or Oneplus device. On the HTC side, this is also well explained. But if questions are then just ask. I am often on XDA and when I read this I always try to help ourselves there are certainly others who can help.
3)Yes, there is only one USB C to USB A adapter. The device has only USB 2.0. Unfortunately, only the Usonic headphones are still there and then comes the sim-eject tool and the standard paper junk. That was all. Unfortunately, no adapter to 3.5mm headphones.
4)So and now it will be difficult because there are no factory images for the Android One version yet. But she will give it sometime and then, it will be easy to download it. You can also root it but I have not made it yet. My device just does not want to do anything. But this will change. Because devices with Stock Android usually get relatively good support. There's something going on in the Root Threat and I think it will not be long before it will work.

As far as I have read so far, it is when a smartphone with Android 8.0 is delivered mandatory project Trebbel to take in and that too 100%
Hi,
What about this device ?
All I could find was "Galaxy XCover 4s SM-G398F/FN Pie 9.0 using Magisk"
All I want to do is install Magisk or LOS but LOS was I think not yet supported (quick search) and old boot.img
device info;
Samsung Galaxy XCover 4s SM-G398F/FN/DS
One UI 2.0
Android 10
Knox 3.5 API lvl 31 TIMA 4.1.0
Kernel 4.4.177-18237086
Build QP1A.190711.020.G398FNXXS5BTD2
Security software version
- ASKS v3.1 release 20200120
- ADP v3.0 release 20191001
- SMR may-2020 release 1
Android patch level May 1 2020
I haven't updated the rom on the device because this would only makes it harder for me...
Can it run TWRP or any custom recovery unsigned I am willing to experiment with boot.img on my device because without root this phone is useless for me (side load without flashing, like I always do). Have too much phones here for testing but most of them are slow to the snail due to outdated SoC and latest OS/kernel.
let me know I can dump boot.img and we can have fun experiments.
Not sure if this device is able to downgrade rom using odin or if Knox has ARP.
Any hits on next step? Don't feel like wasting lots of time phone is for RE and testing. Nothing special.

As you said there is no lineage os. Just check if your phone supports project treble by downloading treble check app. If supported, you can install variety of andorid 11 roms

Yay just what I needed. System-as-root: supported.
Thanks for that, yeah just got some time to check it out so well, thats neat.
I want to root this phone, mainly to turn off dm-verity because it keeps popping up even after a factory reset and this may be my only good option, but what custom rom should I use for this? I tried looking around and couldn't find any recommended ones. Blu Vivo XL4 android version 8.1.0 and the roms I looked at (Corvus OS, AOSPExtended) did not list my device for the downloads at all. Any suggestions or help for rooting this thing? First proper rootable phone I have gotten and I'm not sure the best process for this.

Vivo doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked
That's nonsense, I can enable OEM unlocking in the developer settings, ain't that what's required?

You need a special steps for work. Not a exclusive file to your phone because GSI (actual custom rom for any device with Android 8.1 and next android version) need some files to fix booting that in your device. But the happy notice is about actual GSI files not need very files for fix or maybe nothing.
Try install AOSP from phhusson Android 9 and Android 10 repository to know. Other great GSI is crDroid by eremitein or other GSI files by him. Need testing.

I'm on.. what's it called, Oreo? Android 8. Not sure if that's going to cause any trouble for roms.

Yes! Android 8 from very OEMs/companies not have Treble/GSI compatibility.
Only Android 8.1 has that.
Update: Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck&hl=en-US in the phone and know what architecture your phone/firmware has. That will show you which type of GSI file you can test.
Listing what that app says..
Required Image: Needs an image file named system-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Treble and VNDK: Supports legacy version of Treble, using VNDK version 27.0
System as Root: Does not support, use an a-only OS.
ARM-64 archetecture.
Seamless Upgrades not supported.
Does not use Dynamic Partitions.
Unless I missed anything, is this what was needed? Also I am on 8.1.0 for android version, I didn't know if that was just Oreo or if 8.1 had it's own name.

In the first update Android 7.1 [Nougat] to 8.0 and after upgrade to 8.1 [Oreo]. Normal.
All informations good to know what GSI you should test.
Now you can install with fastboot or Custom Recovery [TWRP]. So if has is better and fast.
If not so can using fastboot commands.
Obviusly need bootloader unlocked!
You can read and find more threads but this is good: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-blu-vivo-xl4-vivo-xi-vivo-xi.3877294/
The only part I should warn you about is the loss of IMEI. So soon as you can do backup from your phone the files NVRAM; NDATA; NVCFG with SPFT or other way like fastboot you won't have wasted time and hassles.

I'll give it a shot. In terms of performing a backup, I would assume that' typical "copy all files on phone to desktop folder just in case"
I should've mentioned, I don't have an SD card in my device, just a SIM card. I don't think I can use TWRP, which is going to complicate matters.
Hello I have a Blu Vivo XL4 android 8.1.0 Oreo, I'm trying to install a custom rom, I looked everywhere not a single rom is made for Blu phones.
bootloader unlocked
according to treble info:
System-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Your device supports the legacy version of project treble using VNDK version 27.0
Use an A-ONLY operating system
ARM64
Seamless upgrades are not supported
NO dynamic partitions
HELP
thanks
Hi, is there any custom ROM with newest Android Version for the stick? I did not find anything. It is possible to unlock Bootloader
The Xiaomi TV Stick 4K is one of the few amlogic S905Y4 devices that have a S905Y4-K SoC. The -K suffix is what allows the SoC to support dolby vision. Any custom ROM is not likely to have everything needed to support dolby vision.
The newest ota is version 1379 (android 11), with security patch level 2023-01-05:
Xiaomi/soul/soul:11/RTT0.211222.001/1379:user/release-keys
security-patch-level=2023-01-05
The bootloader can be unlocked, but because this device has limited recovery options (no hardware reset button), you'll need to be careful flashing any modified boot image. If the device ever has trouble booting, it reverts back to a locked status and can get stuck in a bootloop.
After 5 years, and it's time to make bootloader unlock for free of charge.
