I would love to beta test this if possible, and assume all risk that may come with it as my own problem.
Fcking suuuper excited to make this garbage phone just a little less stinky. Thanks for putting this all together!

lol I just noticed I am considered a new member... after 11 years on the site. Must be cause I lurk.

I am interested in an orange fox recovery. But at this point any will do. So, how does one get past the fastboot issue this phone has?

Striking gold once again I see, much thanks and kudos to you,can't wait for release

Thanks alot

I ****ed up and forgot to make a backup of data first. Anyone have the Assurance Wireless APK for activation backed up?

Unless you're still on a Sprint sim,it shouldn't be needed. I'm on the new T-Mobile tower sim and did initial activation on a GSI just fine

sweet, yeah, i think i am on t-mobile, pretty stoked with it so far. unlimited tether data, and now that its rooted, my vpn works. thinking about cancelling my xfinity.

There a step by step guide?

OK got it worked out what rom you recommend for this device there along on the page lol

I'd like a step-by-step guide too. It would save people a lot of trouble if they don't know this particular method of unlocking. Also, is there a way to unlock the assurance sim card for use on other devices?

Assurance locks the SIM to the IMEI network side,so short of commiting felonies no you can't. Good news is the UMX is sim unlocked out of the box,so you can go to any T-Mobile,AT&T or Sprint MNVO(May need to call ASW and tell them to cancel your service for Sprint ). SafeLink is a good choice for lifeline

An AIO ToolKit is about to be released for this device, I wrote it to handle everything from fresh untouched device to fixing a soft-bricked device. The initial release will be removed shortly and this new ToolKit is for Linux...

Thanks for all your work, assurance sent my grandfather a wiko phone, He received a call and from the phone call. the phone was bricked aswell as some chinese ransomware looking malware. Called assurance and their sending this malware infested UMX again, thanks to you though I can get off that malware infested os and onto stock android! Keep up the great work!

tx for this toolbox coming out!
i got this phone via assurance, and indeed, it not only installs many apps/websites with zero user control, but also apps with all chinese characters, and that was right out of the box. a month later i called assurance to stop my service with them, though i've kept this phone. they asked why i was stopping their service, and i just told her it was enough that i had daily apps/games/sites installed without my permission or control, but that some of them were in a chinese character set; this from a phone given to u.s. citizens applying for federal help during covid.
i now use safelink instead, which just gave me a sim for my pixel 3a, much simpler/safer than assurance.

This is an awesome feat. I thank you so much! BUT I do need to explain a couple points from my experience doing this, just in the event that it maybe helps someone out.
I followed the guide step by step but as I have attempted other root options in the past, I think it caused my phone to soft-brick due to those past attempts that I tried with only my own limited knowledge.
So this is my personal experience, only posting for others in the event that someone else has a similar or identical issue. The issue(s) I had were almost certainly not at the fault of the person who wrote this guide, just FYI. For many, their process has proved successful first-try, as you'll see within the comments.
Again, MY experience:
FIrstly, I had to do things differently. So I DID NOT flash anything to the boot partition. I SKIPPED THAT STEP. (Of course this is after my first try when I followed the post's instructions. After my first attempt I found myself in a soft-brick situation. Luckily, I have two of these devices so I was able to rescue the device using the working device's firmware and I only flashed recovery to begin with, and then booted into TWRP, pushed Magisk and installed it...error. Sideloaded Magisk, SUCCESS!
(Always use software from the creator's site/forum, even when you know you can get it here...just to ensure you're getting a safe and up to date version). Once you've got you some Magisk, you can choose to flash any of the recoveries...(I used OrangeFox and TWRP. OrangeFox is prettty cool, but I don't see backup/restore options like in TWRP. PitchBlack wouldn't show my files AT ALL so options were very limited with that recovery.
And other than that, this guide is awesome! I'm now rooted, and I've got LSposed and even changed my font with a magisk module, as well as the boot up screen haha.
Thank you so much to @PizzaG , for not only putting this together but for taking the time to share and help others.
(TAKEN FROM ORIGINAL POST-UNCHANGED): We really appreciate your effort and your sharing with us!!! You ARE AWESOME!

FIrstly, DO NOT flash anything to the boot partition. SKIP THAT STEP. I did this and it bricked my phone. Luckily, I have two of these devices so I'm currently trying to use the other to pull the firmware off, partition by partition, in hopes I can restore the first one with it, without copying over device info....we'll see lol. But yeah, all you need to do if you want this awesome guide, created by these wonderful devs, to work, is just flash the recovery image...reboot into recovery. (You can hold power and volume up until you see the screen flicker/flash, then let go of power or both power and vol up (I don't think it matters) and wala! You've got into TWRP.
Now, either install Magisk off a microSD card OR just sideload it using adb sideload (path to magisk). I used the latest Magisk from their website. (Always use software from the creator's site/forum, even when you know you can get it here...just to ensure you're getting a safe and up to date version). Once you've sideloaded Magisk, you can choose to flash any of the recoveries...(I used OrangeFox and TWRP. OrangeFox is prettty cool, but I don't see backup/restore options like in TWRP. I'm sure it's there somewhere I probably just didn't look well enough.
And other than that, this guide is awesome! I'm now rooted, unlimited data (xposed framework modules) and completely dark-mode across the device (again, xposed modules). I even changed my font with a magisk module and the boot up screen haha.
Thank you so much to the guys/girls/team that put this together. We really appreciate your effort and your sharing with us!!! You ARE AWESOME!

you are false in giving people that "advice" if you were in the test Telegram group for this device, you would surely know that 3+ people have been testing the ToolKit without issue. I post the Telegram link for a reason. So if people have an issue with something, instead of badmouthing an option or feature, you come get live help to fix the real issue at hand, which is not flashing the boot image.

So I pushed root for this device and installed a batick recovery and bootloops, trying the unbrick restore.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project and CyanogenMod with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS please visit Gerrit Code Review.
Warning!!!
BackUp EFS partition before installing. .If you lose IMEI , use this backup to retrieve it in future.
Installation
Boot the newest TWRP .img
Flash copy-partitions-AB.zip from second post. (This will prevent device from getting bricked if you are coming from stock rom for the first time. It takes a backup of active slot to inactive slot)
In TWRP, click "Wipe", "Format Data", then type "yes" as prompted.
ADB sideload the newest build
Reboot to fastboot and do fastboot -w via terminal
Boot into "Recovery", this will boot you to either Lineage Recovery or TWRP depending on your choice to install TWRP or not. It is necessary to reboot between ROM flash and GApps/Addon flash due to verity/slot-swap logic.
(Optionally) Flash GApps - Only MindTheGApps arm64 are compatible, OpenGApps are not compatible with A/B yet: MindTheGApps.
(Optionally) Flash SU - you'll need to turn it on from in developer settings after first boot Lineage OS SU Addon. - Magisk works fine, though is not supported.
Reboot
Downloads
Warning
If you are coming from stock ROM and it's your first time flashing lineage, flash copy-partition zip (See second post) unless your device will brick and I'm not responsible

- TWRP : Get here
Bugs
bluetooth calling
Reporting bugs
DO NOT report bugs if you're running a custom kernel
DO NOT report bugs if you've modifies system files
DO NOT report bugs if you've installed xposed and/or other mods
Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
Code:
adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
If it is a random reboot, grab kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops
If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log
Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues or bugs reported in the lastest 5 pages of this thread. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

* Repro steps
F.A.Q.
ROOT! ROOT! Give me root or i'll die!!! Where root is???
First of all DO NOT flash any SuperSu/SuperUser/SuperMan zip package to get root. Go to Settings>Developement Settings>Root access and select "Apps Only"
Why no nightly today?
Build failed. Check again tomorrow
When do I have to wipe data?
You must wipe data only when you're switching from another rom or migrating to Snapshot branch from Nightly and vice versa. You don't need to wipe data when you update in the same release channe (this applies to 13.0 -> 14.1 upgrades too)
Will you add <insert awesome feature here>?
I won't. If you write it, submit a commit to gerrit, where it will be reviewed.
The LineageOS team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

Hi.....after revert from this ROM tô stock....ill lose some thing? Ex....volte.....câmera...etc... Efs backup ok
Already noticed this rom and the new TWRP on his androidfilehost and saw it posted on another site too, might try it soon
However, what exactly does the AB zipfile do exactly? And another question, on his AndrFilehHost he has an outdated TWRP installer Zip, is there any reason the new TWRP's are only bootable images? I'd gladly know why to stick with just booting rather then flashing TWRP?
Also thanks for the effort, i'll give the ROM a try and will report back my experiences..
edit: also, i had no problems with opengapps on treble roms, what makes it problematic for this rom?

This device is an A/B device which means it does have two slots.One will be active (running slot) and other will be used for updating system (if any OTA is available) Opengapps doesn't support A/B devices yet.
AB zipfile makes a backup of your active slot so that your device won't get bricked after flashing lineage.
I know that the G6 Plus is A/B, but i don't get what the problem is with opengapps. I flashed them just fine for the treble roms i tried. The only thing i did was flash opengapps straight after the treble rom, without rebooting. It might not be fully working with A/B devices, but they surely worked for the treble roms i tried, that's why i asked. And yes, i think i didn't read it properly the first time. Now it makes sense, though i just got a script to go back to full stock ready anyways. Anyways, again big thanks to both of you.
Maybe @erfanoabdi can say something about the TWRP files? I will probably finally have some time to flash the rom with an hour or so, and gladly report back later.
edit: oops, i totally forgot something here, you are probably talking about OTA lineage updates, while i was not even thinking on that. If that's the case, then it makes sense

Opengapps will work it just won't survive an update.
As for twrp, they were buggy more or less. For example the first 3 builds weren't able to decrypt data on the internal SD card. That applies to the twrp zip as well. The 4th build supported decryption but had some lag. Go with the latest twrp build but it does lack mtp for example.

Yeah i noticed that, but is there any specific reason to stick with fastbooting it rather then flashing? The flashable zip is a very old version, but the newer ones of the last few days might be better? Since there is no documentation with them on the androidfilehost, it's a bit of a gamble what is changed in each of his versions. I'd happily flash the latest version if possible, but it would be usefull to know if there would be any reason not to. Considering there is no new flashable zip i suspect there is at least one reason to stick to fastbooting it over flashing, but again without knowing its still a gamble.
Anyways, every progress done on the G6 Plus is more then welcome, so i'm more then happy so far
Moto app (with gestures and Moto screen) will works with custom roms? I never had Motorola phone before. Good to see that development of g6 plus starts.
Do you mind upload the ROM to an alternative file hosting website?
AFH is really slow even with an gigabit internet connection and it always ends up as Failed - Network error.

The SU addon can't be flashed, some error in path symbolic something with a sh script, will dump log later i don't have a PC around for now.
Also the LineageOS recovery can't handle the encryption.

The Moto app itself won't work but the actions are intergrated.
Editie: noticed the SU addon is removed from the OP, i'd suggest keeping us updated here aswell because i'm sure others reported it, but if others report it on another place then it would be much more usefull to at least keep us updated here to prevent people running in the same issues, and dumping the same logs but just on different locations? Also as it is now, obviously only ADB root can be chosen in dev settings.

If I do understand right moto gestures are intergrated in system settings of lineageOS? What about face recognition ?

Finally! Some development going on for Evert! I'll still wait a while before unlocking the bootloader, because I'm afraid that the A/B system bricks my device. Furthermore bluetooth calling is important to me, so I hope this will be solved soon. Is everything else working so far?

If there's anything i've learned so far from the A/B system, it's a good improvement. Nothing i'd be affraid of. What makes u scared? I've ran a lot of the treble roms with different outcomes but going back to full stock is fairly easy so far and right now i'm running this rom.
Obviously i'm not going to say that you can't brick it or should take things too easy, but with just simply understanding the actions your taking it's nothing to be affraid of. Besides, when you flash stock running on A straight to B, and run into troubles with something flashed on A u can switch rather easy is my experience.

At this time the dev has had issues building an updated zip installation for twrp but it will probably be resolved soon.

Guys, Is it possible do a similar port to ALJETER (Moto G6 Play) variant too?
Anyone running xposed? Any issues?
Updated process ended with ERROR: 1
When I try to flash this rom to my moto g6 plus, I get this error: error applying update: 7 (errorcode:: kInstallDeviceOpenError) Updated process ended with ERROR: 1
What's wrong here?

Resurrection Remix the ROM has been based on LineageOS, SlimRoms, Omni and original Remix ROM builds, this creates an awesome
combination of performance, customization, power and the most new features, brought directly to your Device.
Many things that in previous versions were tweaked with mods, are now included by default in the ROM so, please enjoy!
Special thanks to the LineageOS team, Omni team, SlimRoms and of course to all the supporters. For 7T: Be sure to be on latest oos, beta or stable is fine (flash both slots prior to installing the rom)
Download the latest Resurrection Remix Rom (currently on V8.6)
(7T builds gave gapps included) so disregard flashing gapps.)
You can use either twrp (mauronfrios latest or Chinese) to flash the rom.
Additionally - you can unpack the bin that is in the zip and fastboot flash as many other roms. SEE POST#4!! Importantly, after flashing, no matter the method, once you see the RR boot logo, force reboot to bootloader mode, and use the buttons to cycle to recovery. Select this as it will now reboot to the roms recovery. Go to wipe data. Wipe data and now reboot. This is mandatory if you flash via twrp or want to run f2fs vs ext4; bc the rom will run very well on f2fs as it is much faster file system than ext4.( Once you format after the first flash.) If using twrp, the first boot sets it as this but unless a format is done, it will not boot. So, do not skip this step. After the data wipe and rebooting, the rom boots up in a few Mins. If it doesn't boot in 5mins. You may have made a mistake and in that case reflash stock to both slots and try again.
Yes, Ota updates work fine, be sure to go to updater and prioritize update process. I usually send a build every couple days.
You can retain root by after the download and install occurs but before reboot, launching magisk manager and installing to opposite slot and then rebooting.
**Ota will not work unless RR is on both slots before taking ota. To fix that, after you get it booted, boot to bootloader and fastboot set_active other, and reflash via fastboot. OR if you used twrp, flash the ota again and it puts it on the opposite slot.
Neutrino Kernel is built in-line, latest Hoth 1.95
​
Make sure you have a custom recovery installed(TWRP is the preferred recovery)
Download the latest Resurrection Remix Rom & the latest GApps package
Boot into recovery
Perform a FULL factory wipe and wipe/system and dalvik cache as a precaution
Flash ResurrectionRemix Rom
Flash Google Apps package(Optional)
Flash Magisk Root(Optional)
First boot may take up to 10 minutes.

Payload Dumper
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q5Cq9nAXWvjw9z6wgCDfQi40qk4mw3ut
Thanks for this! Glad to see you here as well
Here are some more detailed instructions by my long time constituent @aer0zer0 thank youuuu!!!
how to extract a payload and flash a rom for noobs, windows only
pre-requisites:
1. In general, you want to have the SAME version of OOS on both sides. Im not going to go into detail on how to MSM, and flash a full OTA locally, reboot, then flash the same OTA locally again and reboot.
2. payload dumper for windows: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q5Cq9nAXWvjw9z6wgCDfQi40qk4mw3ut/view?usp=sharing its windows 64 bit only
3. Latest ADB/Fastboot binaries: when flashing using using a script, and you see errors such as system partition cannot be found, etc... your binaries are old, most likely cause by some ghetto version minimal adb/fastboot thats jank. To verify where your adb/fastboot is running from, in a shell, type fastboot --version this will tell you where you resident adb/fastboot binaries are running from. The link to updates binaries is here https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools select the windows SDK version. Once downloaded, copy and paste them over top of the ones being used from the fastboot --version output.
4. a bat file to flash all the images you are dumping. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HW1Q82wpsnBPUcPkAnXO-tQjVIWSZ_oQ/view?usp=sharing this wipes, goes to fastbootd, will flash all the images from the payload.bin dump to both sides, wipes, and sets it to boot from slot A.
5. lots of common sense
Instuctions
1. extract the payload dumper somewhere on your PC, you will see an "IN" folder, "OUT" folder, and an executable.
2. extract the payload.bin file from the rom.zip you wish to install, and place it in the "IN" folder.
3. run the payload dumper exectuable, a shell will pop up, showing the images being extracted.
4. once the shell closes, the images are all succesfully unpacked. Copy those images in the "OUT" folder to whereevr you would like to store your rom.
5. copy/paste the bat file wherever you placed your images.
6. reboot your phone to fastboot, plug it into the PC, and run the bat.
7. process takes 4-5 minutes, sit back, it will then reboot back to fastboot.
8. start the phone from fastboot, and wait for your new rom to boot.
9. finish and enjoy!
Also, there is no real bugs. On occasion one may think there is a bug, and if there is in fact one, we work promptly to resolve it as a team. Typically, one thinks a bug is a bug, but the rom has so many features, it is just a conflicting setting most likely, I implore you all to exercise trial and error. If something was fine and you fiddled with settings, go unfiddle and see what could make something not work. We could not foolproof all features to not conflict on the occasion if we get kinda crazy with what we expect our device and it's software to be able to do. All works flawlessly. Enjoy the rom and thanks to my colleagues and my friends who have always been there in this wonderful android world, never quick to judge, always quicker to help and teach. Never from the class of elitist android dev who is "too cool" to just be nice. Thanks guys.

The news of a stable ROM coming to 7T just made my day. I want to heartily thanks the developer who invested their told in building this goodness.
Also would payment apps work on this ROM? Maybe someone could confirm the same? I am preety new to the ROM scene these days but have some past experience ages ago, I have heard Magisk safety net would work?
Also I wouldllike to know do stable ROMs like these have om par camera performance as the stock builds of OOS does? Or can we make it work just as better with installing a supported Gcam build here from forums?

I recommend latest arnovo gcam for optimum photography.
I don't know if gpay works as I only use PayPal, but safety net passes. Happy it made your day. Enjoy

Great to know the safety net passes.
Would just leave a message here asking if any forum member based from India installing RR can confirm if the payment apps like PayTM, PhonePe and the likes of it work? It's the just last thing that's stopping me from getting this beauty on 7T.
Along with info of banking apps, i would also like to know if this has auto call recording feature ? 90hz display support ?
Also I would like to know the proper install instructions for this ROM, I tried searching for this but feels like I'm a bit lost. Thank you for helping out :victory

No call recording feature as the lineage dialer is overridden for gapps, ie google dialer. Find a 3rd party app/mod. Sorry, I tried adding the option to allow the user to pick los dialer or google dialer, it but broke other things the majority of users need over call recording. Yes, 90hz support. 60/90 or auto

It's easy. Use twrp, or unpack the bin file in the rom and flash with fastboot. same as other roms, just must format after install and reboot.

Notes:
place holder 2
OTA updated from the previous version and it works fine!
Bluetooth kept crashing but after I cleared data it was just fine.
Android System Intelligence does keep crashing so I just disabled it.
Everything else seems to work just fine.
Bliss Settings -> Animations: is empty. Not sure if this is a bug or just not filled yet due to it being very new.
Oneplus Settings: now lacking refresh settings but I still have the QS tile as I OTAed. It does not work.
Could be a bad install from my part, can you confirm?

No bugs these things are just missing this release. All will be added going forward. Although A Clean flash wouldn't hurt. I am on the latest OOS firmware myself.
Awesome bro.. thanks a lot on your efforts .. gonna try right away
Hello,
I want to know if we should follow the installation recommended for version A11 or not.
Thank you
I did the flash as listed in first post but then followed by flash in latest twrp. Only camera is crashing for me. 24 hours in - all seems ok. I rooted with Magisk canary, however cannot seem to get in to twrp after that. Reflashing bliss boot.img & then installing twrp via ramdisk brings it back again - losing root...
Any suggestions to get it all working together?
Sometimes wake with power button is slow. It flashes the desktop background prior to displaying the lockscreen.

After updating from previous version, my phone no longer receives texts. If I use a 3rd party messaging app I can send them, but it doesn't receive. Any ideas as to why?

Gotta say one of the better a12 , just a fyi I tried the payload dumper install but no luck it went to a boot loop, then I saw this post and installed the rom via Nebrassy Twrp and a otg drive rom.zip file install, then a format Incase any one else here is wanting to try it, my order went like this,, your milage may vary ,,
1 boot into bootloader
2 fastboot boot twrp.img ( rename twrp zip to img)
3 . Install twrp by way of radio button in advance, reboot recovery
4 format wipe
5 reboot back to recovery
6 install rom zip file by way of USB C otg
7 wipe/format (probably not nessary but just to be sure)
8 reboot to system and set up
If root is needed
9 I just patched the boot file ( got the boot file from payload dumper) in magisk app and installed the patched file in fastboot
10 fastboot flash boot bootmagisk.img

Had the same problem. Thought a OTA was too good to be true. I check my logcat and it was a SQLite query error because of a failed upgrade from version 67 to 68. I couldn't find a fix even after deleting databases the the path etc.
You will have to do a clean install. Unless someone knows how to fix this. But I spent a solid hour or so using root to delete folder and setting perms. Nothing seem to make it covert the database. After I deleted it even after I set perms (at least I believe to be the correct perms) it will not create a new database.
TL;DR clean flash. Otherwise the SMS database will be "corrupted".
For feature requests:
This ROM lacks a lot of the good stuff the previous version had. OFC this is a very early build. But I would like to see high brightness mode return. The previous A11 version was one of the most feature rich ROMs but this version is bare compared to the former.

Interesting hearing what the actual issue was. I actually had a crash happen that caused me to lose some data and decided to do a clean install. I'm fairly certain the crash was my fault because I was messing with root in ways that I barely knew what I was doing.

Thanks for posting this. Maybe with your permission I can add this to the install instructions in the op.
Does this rom feature Slim recents, or some alternative to the stock recent option?

For what it's worth, these steps from hammered58 are what got be up and running. I had difficulties getting the ROM to boot with flashing the op steps
Thanks srgrusso for a great ROM, and thanks hammered58 for listing what you did.

(This may have an Some bugs, Because Its my first Custom ROM Made with an Samsung's Stock Firmware. and i am bad at english. as you can see, i can't use grammer. I am currently learning an Grammer.

Do you want to downgrade to Samsung Experience?
Do you want the Samsung Experience?
If you can back to samsung experience, do you will back to Samsung Experience?
Then, This may be a good choice for you!
This is the stock rom from samsung and we got the stock rom of android 8.0 from A530N. and when we got official rom of A530N (Galaxy A8 2018) We made this rom with making a project. and that project name is the "Crab". And Thats the start of Crab Experience.

You have to install an Patched boot.img, That means you have to patch boot image with a Root like Magisk or SuperSU. Try it again, it works normally if you install Root. Btw, We are currently fixing an Boot.img Patch error with using a Magisk's Boot Image Patch Script.
(Sorry for being late Envy_!)

Crab Experience V1.7 for Galaxy A8
Made by TeamCrab (Github @TeamCrab)
Experience whole new world
Introduction:
(This may have an Some bugs, Because Its my first Custom ROM Made with an Samsung's Stock Firmware. and i am bad at english. as you can see, i can't use grammer. I am currently learning an Grammer.
I am a korean and i am student. that means i have to learn more and that means i don't have an many time to do development. The Update may late.)
Do you want to downgrade to Samsung Experience?
Do you want the Samsung Experience?
If you can back to samsung experience, do you will back to Samsung Experience?
Then, This may be a good choice for you!
This is the stock rom from samsung and we got the stock rom of android 8.0 from A530N. and when we got official rom of A530N (Galaxy A8 2018) We made this rom with making a project. and that project name is the "Crab". And Thats the start of Crab Experience.
How to Download?
We uploaded the Crab Experience V1.5 in MEGA and You can use it for Free. I was not spended many times for developing this ROM Because This is an Stock ROM. Here is the Link:

Test Some Early Releases and Feedback My Early Release!
Shh... This is the Secret Early Releases only opened for XDA Users.. If you want to test some new features, We think the Early Release is not bad for you!
The Early Release may not Stable for Your Device. We need more fixes for Early Release, So We need your feedbacks. The Feedbacks makes Early Release is stable for Device.
This Early Release Includes:
Team Crab Version Checker Added - It includes in System files so you are only able to disable apps, not a delete apps but it may look trash because i am new at creating apps with a kotlin from android studio lol
New Build Number Builded - New Build Number is generated from One UI Base and the build prop and updater script tweaks New Build Number into the system
Security Level Upgraded - the Security Level is Upgraded from SU2 to SUC (SU13) but its only the build prop tweaks and it is uneffective to flash roms you can still flash the Android 9.
Boot Image Patched - Now, you don't need to root, Because the Boot image was patched with Magisk! Boot Image is modded with Magisk and meaning the boot image includes magisk manager.
Build Number: A530NXSUCBVCC

Sorry for being late update, We're currently working on new pc. Because, We moved from the Old PC and while moving my pc's hardware was not worked normally so my hard drive was got destoried. Well, we have to download it Firmware again. Please Help us!
TMI: My PC is not using Windows Anymore, My PC is Now using Rectify11 V2.5 so it may not compatible with a program that makes an Custom Firmware i use lol so it may be a late update
Problem:
We checked the software won't boot to System if you not rooted with magisk or SuperSU. We'll check how to fix to boot system without root.
Google apps are too old and YouTube not works because YouTube is old too.
Early Release Problems:
We don't know why, a build we are currently testing is not works normally it stops in setup wizards (its stock boot image, not a modded. we are thinking to stop a project now.. its impossible to fix it because its a system's problem.)

[LineageOS 20] (Android 13) GSI Install Instructions

Hi all,
i was kinda bored and sick of no Custom ROM development for our beloved S6 so i thought i'd try using a GSI and i've got it booting so i thought i would share the instructions!
As usual all care no responsibility! Nothing here is without risk.
Android 13
5 March 2023 Security Patch Level
1. Unlock your bootloader. (Very easy to do - https://www.hardreset.info/devices/...-s6/faq/bootloader-unlock/samsung-bootloader/)
2. Download the official vbmeta image provided by TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
3. Download TWRP https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytabs6qcomwifi.html
4. Open Odin
5. Put VBMETA.TAR in the CP Slot & TWRP in AP slot and flash. On reboot hold down the Pwr/Up button so it boots straight into TWRP or sometimes it can be overwritten.
3. Format Data, reboot back into TWRP and Full Factory Reset . (Take a backup if you need one).
4. Transfer the LoS image file to the tablet via TWRP then Flash the LoS image through TWRP (System Partition) lineage-20.0-20230324-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN.img (or whichever ARM64 flavour you like) from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-20-td/
(might need to use the adb push command to copy the file across) adb push filename.extension /sdcard
5. Flash magisk if you like.
6. Reboot to system and enjoy!
i used the one above which includes GAPPS though there are ones that don't if you prefer
I only just finished installing though - quick summary:
Working:
Fingerprint!
Hardware Buttons
SDCard
Wifi
Bluetooth
Gapps and Google Setup
Tablet is very fast!
Charging
USB File Transfer
Audio
Video out for USB-C
Auto-rotate
GPS
Official Samsung Keyboard Physically attached working fine too!
Themes
Colours
Mic
SPen
Not Working:
Only bottom speakers work
SafetyNet
Workarounds:
To pass SafetyNet (BASIC):
Flash Magisk in TWRP
Use Magiskhide
Turn on Zygist
Install Displax modified SafetyNet-Fix from link below;
hxxps://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.4.0-MOD_1.2
Configure your Denylist in Magisk for Google Play Store and Services apps. (And anything else you need to not detect root).
To Fix Brightness:
Go to Settings - Phh - Misc Features - Tick the box for "Use Linear Brightness Slider"
To Help with Fingerprint:
Turn off taskbar in Settings to help alignment with Fingerprint scanner
Hope we can get some community effort behind this so we can bring this tablet back into support since Samsung gave up on it..

Thanks so much for this!
I have built LOS for a couple unsupported devices in the past and would love to dedicate as much time and resources as needed to this project.
Could you share which build trees were used from Github and the extracted blobs?
I would like to replicate this build and put in a request with LOS developer stinX for an official one.

I am not sure mate about the GIT and Blobs. These are GSI so "generic" so they may not have them. From my understanding they work with the existing Vendor image and take advantage of Treble to ensure everything works.

There are quite a lot of tweaks available in the PHH settings. I suggest you play around in there and you may get both sets of speakers working. I will do the same
I have added it to "Not Working" section.

I should add i think this is MUCH faster than stock and battery life is looking great too!
I am happy there are some other people who are using this GSI on a Tab S6. I installed it some time ago and am very satisfied!
Some things I found:
Fingerprint XY coordinates are somehow off. Specifically, the symbol showing on screen and the actual reader are not on the same place. I think it is related to the app bar somehow, since it seems to be off by that. I think this could be fixed by an overlay.
Auto-brightntess is not available as well. Either use an app for that, or don´t use it. This can also be fixed by an overlay as far as I know.
Maybe it is also possible to get the top speakers working by making an overlay? I am not sure regarding this, however.
Obviously, DolbyAtmos is not included. However, I think there exists a Magisk Module. Maybe it would also be possible to integrate this into an overlay? This would be amazing
I am very new to the custom ROM/GSI scene. So, my experience with overlays and so on is basically none. However, I would try to contribute as good as I can if someone feels ready to create an overlay and then getting it implemented into the GSI.
Anyone interested in cooperating?

I will try to do that as well...lets see.
I would explicitly add to the working section that the spen works and also pressure sensitivity of the spen works! At least in the Saber Handwritten Notes app which I use. This is amazing.

Didn`t you patch the vbmeta.img, or did you flash the multidisabler zip?
Somehow, one has to disable verified boot such that you can even boot LineageOS...as far as I know!

Did you start from stock rom? Maybe you already flashed a vbmeta.img or multidisabler.zip some time ago which is still in effect?
I really doubt that it is possible to boot a different os if verified boot of Android is not adjusted...

Nope. Started from stock. Literally unlocked bootloader right before moving to GSI. Just like the steps above.
I did install Magisk which may help disable verified boot though

Ah, that might make the difference! So I think it is worth to mention to either install Magisk, or to patch the vbmeta.img in order to boot. If coming from stock with the stock vbmeta.img, then Android Verified Boot will not allow booting into a different ROM.

OP is wrong.
Be careful flashing the latest TWRP for SMT-860 Wifi with Odin.
This happened to me today after doing it. "Error verifying vmbeta image: Invalid vmbeta header"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The device gets stuck like this and won't boot anymore, but you can get it back to normal by flashing the recovery.img from your firmware files (It's in AP)
You cannot install TWRP on the Galaxy Tab S6 without fixing the vmbeta.img issue.
I tried with the latest Samsung firmware downloaded via SamFirm and an older one.
@m0byn: Do you know what needs to be done with the vmbeta.img on this device, to allow for TWRP to be flashed?
I have found many different prescribed solutions such as patching boot.img with Magisk or just the vmbeta.img , but nothing seems to work.
Tablet, search my post here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/t865-rooting-with-android-12-bootloop-and-error.4452641/ and try
Hey man, thank you for the suggestion. That post seems to be about Magisk and rooting.
The problem here is the vmbeta.img.
According to older posts from 2021 this can be resolved by flashing vbmeta_disabled.tar , but the latest 2022 version of TWRP should no longer require this. It's weird.
I am sorry. I thought something went wrong when you patched the firmware with Magisk
Probably flashing Magisk automatically patches the vbmeta.img. Not sure though.
Follow the steps below. This is how I did it. It worked.
I am assuming a stock recovery in this process. If you already installed TWRP just try if it works as well. not sure if this is impacting the process.
Unpack firmware using 7Zip tool
Unpack AP.tar.md5 using 7Zip tool
Unpack vbmeta.img.lz4 using 7Zip-ZS tool
Open file in FrhedPortable (HEX editor) to patch it
Go to offset (block) 123 and write 03 and save
Compress vbmeta.img to vbmeta.img.tar using 7Zip tool
Connect device via USB to computer
Hold volume up & volume down buttons
Press volume up button to proceed to download mode
Open Odin -> verify whether device number is added
Untoggle "auto-reboot" in options
Select AP section
Choose patched vbmeta.img.tar file
Click start to flash
When flashing process is done: hold power & volume down button to exit and power off device
IMPORTANT: as soon as device shuts off immediately release volume down button and press volume up button to enter recovery mode
Click factory reset
Click reboot to bootloader
Thanks @m0byn I managed to figure it out with your help.
For anyone else facing the same problem, here is what you need to do:
Download the official vbmeta image provided by TWRP > https://dl.twrp.me/gts4lv/vbmeta.tar.html
Proceed to flash with Odin.
Put the TWRP recovery image in AP and vbmeta.tar in the CP slot.
After this you can boot into the TWRP recovery normally, but for some reason any changed settings in TWRP are not saved. So everytime I reboot into TWRP recovery all previously selected TWRP settings are lost. I wonder if that's normal, but everything else seems to work.
Next step will be flashing the Lineage GSI, i'll keep you guys posted.
