Android Q GSI

downloads here
https://developer.android.com/preview/gsi-release-notes#downloads
Im using arm64 + GMS because im coming from pie.
My understanding of it, is if you are already on q you wont need the +GMS jus use the arm64
TAKE NOTE i dont beleive pixel vendor is included so right out the gate no sqeeze for assistant and the nav bar is older style but not that important to me at the moment. i bout bet you could grab vendor img from q beta and flash if you wanted to i didnt try yet
Here is all i had to do in fastboot, I use windows powershell and i usually jus copy and paste the first half of command [fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta] and drag and drop the .img from its location to powershell , both pages open side by side always found it easier that way.
fastboot erase system_a
fastboot erase system_b
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta C:\adb\gsi_gms_arm64-exp-QPP3.190404.015-5505587\vbmeta.img
fastboot flash system C:\adb\gsi_gms_arm64-exp-QPP3.190404.015-5505587\system.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
I was rooted before installing this and when it booted magisk was already installed but couldnt update i jus download the magisk canary.apk from github and installed and it was already rooted coming from pie.

so i tried and got it to boot but like above no internet. it found wifi but would not connect. did you have Q installed before? i used the +GMS and may try the one without becuase i had Q on my phone before. i am on Pie now but if you had Q some of partitions are still present that are not related to pie. product services and a few others. i see them when i flash pie flash image, it will say those prtitions not present so it doesnt wipe over them and fastboot -w only wipes user data even though google says it will wipe partitions not used.

So if I understand right, you got every Q features, but rooted with your method?
Do you have issues with internet like some have or do you have everything working?

Lineage OS 16/17/GSI Install Guide for LG G7 ULM

UPDATE: I kept finding bugs in josh1x's rom, so i installed the LOS17 GSI instead. Guide for that outline in reply #11
Figured this out and thought i'd write a simple tutorial that covers stock (i was at 20e) to lineage. You'll need the LG USB Drivers and adb/fastboot. There are a couple other things to download through out the tutorial and the unlock tutorial in step 1.
LG USB Drivers 4.2.0
ADB/Fastboot
LGUP with partition DL
Note: I was able to reach download mode and fastboot at any point in this process and even when it went wrong (kernel crashes, boot loops etc) while figuring out this tutorial. I found that i could just hold vol down or up in a bootloop with the usb connected to get to the mode i wanted.
Typical combos:
-Download mode: power off phone with usb disconnected. hold vol up and plug in cable
--NOTE: after wiping laf_a and boot_b, you must switch to slot b to access download mode (run command: fastboot -ab)
-fastboot: power off phone with usb disconnected, hold vol down and plug in cable. or adb reboot bootloader
--NOTE: after wiping laf_a and boot_b, you can only access fastboot from slot a by holding vol up on boot (for 20e/21d, on 11g vol down still works).
-Recovery: power off. hold power and vol down, when you see the white LG G7 logo temporarily release just the power button. Continue to hold power and vol down till you get to the option menu. Select Yes three times.
Guide:
1. Follow the universal unlock method here.
1.5. You need to zero out laf_a and boot_b before flashing 21d/20e to maintain fastboot access. Use adb to run the following commands
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/laf_a
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b
1.75. Enable usb debugging (should already be done). Open LGUP and connect to your phone. dont close it. If you open it after booting to DL mode it wont recognize it
2. 21d ULM firmware (here) must be flashed to use the latest twrp (20e works as well). The 11g twrp cannot install lineageos. I would imagine the EU firmware could be flashed as well, but I used ULM.
Code:
Boot into fastboot
fastboot -ab
Boot into download mode
Use the lg up linked in this post to flash 20e/21d without laf_a and boot_b with partition dl mode
3. Format userdata to decrpyt your file system so TWRP can access it. Then flash TWRP; boot_twrp-june.img can be found here. It's from Josh1x's post here. Note: this TWRP is non persistant.
Code:
Boot to bootloader
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash boot_a boot_twrp-june.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot_twrp-june.img
Select restart in fastboot
Boot to recovery
4. Obtain the latest lineage build here. This is from Josh1x's post here. I attempted to flash gapps at this point and it failed, see the next steps.
Code:
Wipe everything
Transfer lineageos to your phone and install it
Restart normally
5. Gapps
Code:
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a boot_twrp-june.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot_twrp-june.img
Reboot to recovery
Transfer opengapps 9.0 to your phone and install.
Reboot to bootloader
6. We need to flash the stock lineage boot image (here) again now that we are done. The file was obtained with this method
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Restart normally
if you have magisk, it would be magisk_patched_boot.img (here). this one was made from the above image with magisk on my phone.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched_boot.img
Restart normally
Any time you want to flash something via twrp you will have to flash twrp via fastboot again (hence the non persistance), do your stuff in twrp, and then reflash the boot img (it will not boot if you dont do this or use josh1x's boot file). Just like steps 5-6 for gapps.
I am so glad to be off of stock, enjoy guys and girls!
Bugs (from my ULM phone)
-flash doesnt work in the camera. also probably why gcam crashes (gcam works on an EM phone somehow)
-brightness slider is calibrated incorrectly compared to stock. way too bright when set to 0%
NOTE: using ULM vendor fixed the flash and brightness, but gcam still doesnt work. This would make it the most functional rom for this phone at this point (vibrate does work).

Being that since day1 of g710pm/ulm could be boot unlocked, all ypu had to do is flash the eu firmware and go to lineage frlm there due to twrp incompatibility.
I have not tested it, but does being on lineage based off EU blobs, do you still get full LTE and/or volte.
If sprint users have switched to eu/lineage do you have full lte/ril compatibility.

Ah crap I didn't know that. I tried unlocking through LG when I got it a couple months ago and that didn't work of course. At that time the phone was working well (not going on a background apps killing spree), so I didn't bother. I couldn't find anything on here at the time for unlocking, but I obviously missed that.
LTE and wifi are working fine. Maybe that has something to do with me never flashing the EU rom to install lineage? Anyways, I couldn't find a volte toggle, but I'd assume it is working. I'm on Verizon and I believe they are killing their cdma network, so I'll find out.
Would this work on sprint phones? There is a warning at the end of the unlocking guide about sprint phones loosing fastboot when upgrading to ulm pie.

does it work for EM too ? because i dont have any boot for linage to make it boot after i flash gapps also magisk bootloops too

If it boots on the lineage bootimg before flashing twrp again for Gapps, then yes, if you get that bootimg and flash it again after using twrp it will boot again.
Though I'm not sure why josh1x's boot img wouldn't work for your phone. That's what he used on his EM model after all.

Have you tried the other twrps?

nonono i meant like magisk from the stock rom it was bootlooping so that means those images works for EM model too ? (bootimg and magisk) ... also i saw a guy saying gcam works on the lineage and i installed it and didnt work it was crashing if i would install camera2 api module from magisk will it work or ?

It wont let me install that camera2 module. Says incompatible device. I tried the gcam patch and that didnt work either.
Also, flash does not work properly on the included camera. It flashes for the focus, but then doesnt for actually taking the picture.

Sweet man, so just to clarify, you have a 710EM and what firmware did you flash before lineage? 21dulm or 21d EM?
I think im going to try Andy's lineage GSI.

Edit: Update 2: dont use the vendor in this post. I patched the ULM vendor, but vibrate and gcam are still an issue with a GSI. links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81563763&postcount=41 Also, using the ulm vendor on Josh1x's rom fixed everything but gcam.
I ended up moving to the GSI. I tried Deepflex's lineage 16 GSI but it was buggy and not working correctly. AndyYan's lineage 17 rom is working much better. Camera flash even works and the brightness slider is correct. List of all GSIs
If starting from stock, follow this new guide after doing the fastboot format userdata command in step 3 of the original guide in post #1
1. Flash vendor_gsi image (sourced from aosp trebble g7 EM this thread)
Code:
fastboot flash vendor_a vendor_gsi.img
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor_gsi.img
The above is the only file used from the source i linked above. I had to use a different twrp (the one from the existing thread wouldnt go past the lock screen after first reboot) so i tried the one below which worked, but only with the vbmeta img from josh1x's lineage 16 rom.
2. Flash vbmeta from josh1x's LOS16 rom (as mentioned before). File attached.
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_b vbmeta.img
3. Flash latest twrp 3.3.1 (sourced from this thread). If you have magisk, here's the version i patched.
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a twrp_20b.img
fastboot flash boot_b twrp_20b.img
4. Flash GSI of whatever flavor you want. needs to be amd64 and for the A/B (bvN) partition type. I used this one
Code:
fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system.img
5. Reboot while wiping data (shouldnt wipe internal "sdcard", didnt for me). Should boot into lineage now.
Code:
fastboot -w reboot
6. For gapps, just reboot into recovery (none of that non persistant boot stuff), and flash the beta android 10 gapps from here
Note: I had to resize the system partition for the LOS17 rom for this as it didnt fill the entire filesystem when it was flashed. Go to the TWRP terminal and run mount to find the device path for /system and then run resize2fs /device/block/whatever.

Thanks. You're process got my audio working on GSI. Not sure what incorrect image I was installing or what the issue was.
Just need to disable the LED notification and get vibration working.

EM devices vendor partition differ slightly compared to ULM devices, so camera issues and such will happen since you are using a slightly different blob.
There was a post of someone getting ULM to work with twrp so if someone can flash ULM and modify the vendor to load without encryption check and dmverity disabled then backup the vendor img.
Use that new vendor img will fix minor issues for ULM based devices on new gsi's.

Oh, so all we have to do is get it to boot through twrp (or just a boot with root?) and then dd it? I could probably just flash the 21d ULM kdz again and do that?

Once you got twrp running with stock then do the normal thing of format userdat to decrypt it then flash the no dmverity zip mentioned in the thread or magisk then backup vendor via twrp or dd...
That will give you a usable vendor for lineage and such.
All josh1x or whoever did to the EM vendor was modify fstab to remove the force encrypt so that way decrypted roms would work.

I tried using the vendor from ULM 20e and it doesnt work, i even tried flashing dm verity right after. How would one modify the vendor partition anyways?

Your device MUST have an unlockable bootloader.
Your device MUST be Project Treble compatible. That means your device meets one of the following criteria:
Your device LAUNCHED with Android 8.0 Oreo or a newer version (eg. Android 8.1 Oreo) AND is Google Play certified. (If you rooted your device/flashed another custom ROM and somehow ended up with your device being listed as uncertified in Google Play, then don’t worry. We’re only concerned about the status of the device as it was shipped.)
Your device UPGRADED to Android 8.0 Oreo or a newer version AND was made Project Treble compatible by the manufacturer. See this article for a list of such devices.
Your device does not meet either of the above criteria but DOES have access to an unofficial way to be made Treble compatible. Again, refer to this article for a list of such devices.
Your device is free of any heavy modifications such as the Xposed Framework, SuperSU, or Magisk. You can re-install these afterward, but please be sure you are using the stock boot/ramdisk before proceeding.

thats complete bs
your device must be launched with android 10 or newer to be able to have dynamic partitions.
google play certification has nothing to do with it.
and if you flash product partition you might get away without reinstalling magisk or xposed

can anyone shed light on whether or the super partition is shared between the slots? in other words, if I flash a boot image to super partition in twrp, will it flash only to that slot's super (slot B in my case is messed up) or will it flash to both slots? I am only trying to flash to slot B super partition in hopes of restoring /system_ext, /product, and /odm. any help is greatly appreciated

ok the reason I ask is I am given the option to flash my backup boot image to super in twrp flash image screen, that's why I asked, and since twrp is reporting that I'm missing system_ext, product, and odm, that flashing to super would fix that, a long shot but I'm desperate.
so to be clear is it shared between slots or does each slot have it's own super? (or the partitions found in it)

look up for Project Treble this are custom rom that only require you to flash system.img

The Fastboot command mentioned only prepares phone to allow modifications of Android system, e.g. for installing a Custom ROM. A Custom ROM gets flashed via a Custom Recovery you flashed before.

Cubot X30 successfully rooted

Probably not many people are using this phone but I just want to share my experience of doing this. Hope this can help anyone who needs it.
Fisrt of all, you need this wonderful tool: https://github.com/DeadPo01/android_device_cubotx30_twrp_tree.
This is the only twrp recovery I found works on my device. Thank DeadPo01 for sharing it with us.
Here're the steps:
Go to the bootloader: adb reboot bootloader;
Flash the recovery img: fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img;
Flash vbmeta: fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img (make sure you use the right vbmeta.img, go to cubot's website to download the right version of firmware and find the vbmeta.img in it);
Reboot to recovery directly: fastboot reboot recovery (I tried to reboot to system and then adb reboot recovery but it didn't work);
Change the language to English unless you can read Russian;
Files are encrypted if you look at the storage but this doesn't matter;
Turn on adb sideload in twrp recovery and use your PC to sideload Magisk.zip;
Done.
* My device is running CUBOT_X30_A031C_V27_20211206.
** Another way to flash recovery.img is to use the flash tool provided by cubot. But I'm not sure if this works.
Good luck!

Thank you for this
