Google Pixel 4a 5g Lineage OS noob mistakes - Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers

hello folks,
Extreme noob here and I have caused myself a problem to prove it. I was trying to get Lineage OS got to flashing the lineage recovery for bramble specifically "fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img" and have been stuck in fastboot mode sense.
What I'm pretty sure has happened is that I...didn't read closely enough and was not the proper Android 13.0.0 firmware it required. I was wondering if there was a link anywhere to the stock img that I can replace this with so as to start again and update the firmware? Only thing I've changed so far is different tries at flashing boot_a boot_b and vendor_boot. So I assume I just need an img that works with an older android version in there?
any help would be appreciated.
thank you

VENDOR.IMG

I've come from miui 10.0.2.0 (oreo) to Pixel Experience gsi
Unlocked bl, installed twrp, wiped all and flashed PE
It wasn't an easy process, but I finally got rid of miui.
Now I can't install any other gsi/non-gsi rom! That's ridiculous! I'm stuck on that gsi
The thing does not boot. When I flash something else
My installation algorithm -> advanced wipe, install gsi to system -> gapps (if needed) -> get a bootloop.
The thing that is not getting changed, I thought, is my vendor. So I guessed, that I need to install vendor 10.0.4, wich is Pie.
Maybe that Is the case.
All evening I've been looking for that vendor image, and there ain't singe one!
Does anyone have a Magik link to the thread, where are all the images?
If no,
What should I do next?
I guess install miui again?
Via what? Fastboot? Is there a twrp method?
Am I really the only one, that is facing this problem on this device?
A wonderful day for the reader!
I just unzipped the fastboot rom, and there is vendor.img inside.
It wouldn't be a stupid idea to consider this as the image I am looking for? I mean I can flash that image, and it should be fine?
You should download the latest fastboot global dev rom http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.15/po...15_20181115.0000.00_9.0_global_3dc5c2bb71.tgz and flash it with miflash.Then flash latest twrp wipe systemmdata and then flash rom,gapps and have fun

Samsung S7 Root Reversal?

Hey there, so I have attempted to root my Samsung S7 edge through TWRP, only to get to the stage where i flash my files, Magisk and no verity, and get an error. I searched around and found out I needed to flash a stock boot.img, so I found on, flashed it and got stuck on the startup screen. After this, I found a new, S7 Oreo one and used that, now i can hear the volume buttons when I press them but have a red screen. All i can do on my phone is access TWRP, the downloading screen and the red screen, any ideas would be amazing. By the way im not very good with this kind of stuff (As you can probably tell).

Why in the actual hell did you flash some random stuff without asking.You never flash a boot img without confirming the version and the type of boot.img it is.For example you can't flash AOSP boot.img or kernel on Samsung.Or flash Samsung on AOSP.Similarly you don't flash Nougat on Oreo or Oreo on Nougat.You should have made a backup before messing things up.More Importantly you should've converted to Lineage OS immediately after TWRP for easiness.And Most Importantly magisk is only stable for Lineage and Does kinky stuff with Samsung's Version of Android.Your best bet is to get the current running OS with exact same build no date and all specification and extract the boot img and flash it.Or you can ask in S7 forum to provide one with same build and name.Along with OS version

Unable to Boot from GSI ROM

Dear devs, I have been trying so hard to flash Phusson's Treble GSI image into my Sailfish and I managed to do it without any problem. But, when it boots, it stayed stuck at the android splash screen and couldn't boot into the system. I've tried flashing Magisk, it didn't work. Tried flashing the AVB for Pixel 2 just to try my luck, no luck in that area as well. I'm not very good with the whole thing and I could only run some basic fastboot and adb commands. So far, if I flash a custom ROM using TWRP, it does work. Just for some weird reason, any Treble GSI image just won't boot on my phone.
Help appreciated.
working GSi Roms
just pushing this up. i recently got a cheap pixel 1 and thought tinker around with it. my xperia 10 camera is really not that good....so i think about using a pixel for snapshots in daily life.
just wonder why i cannot find much informations about sailfish treble supported roms. with my sony its quiet easy. but i have also this problem. all GSi roms i flash stuck at bootlogo...not even reboot....just stuck there. seems weird. i would say i know what i do....but i cannot figure out why there isnt a working GSI rom (android 10)
i read also in wiki of GSI-phh that people got some treble rom running.....but that was 8.1 or so.
just curious if there are people out there running a treble rom for on pixel 1?
Opened a ticket to try to get sailfish supported in the Android 10 Phusson Treble GSI images here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/1161

[Help] Installing AOSP, TWRP

So I'm pretty new on the whole android customization scene and I've been really wanting to install Android Open Source Project on my Android 10 phone for a while. I've found a video detailing how to go about it, but my problem is that there's not a version of TWRP for my specific phone yet (I have a Blackview BL6000 pro). For the purposes of making a recovery and installing AOSP, I'm wondering if there's another good app that could replace TWRP that functionally does the same things (Or if someone has a TWRP version somehow) that lets me install AOSP.
The video in question I was using as a guide was this one:
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

You not need TWRP for flash GSI (Custom ROMs). You need stock firmware of your device from company or you should make that your self about any problem with your actions.
After you can know how to do have GSI in your device with commands fastbootd: Installing GSI with fastbootd
and/or using this software: Treble Toolkit [A and A/B]
Ofcourse if yourr device is A/B so you need flash the GSI.img in the system_a or system_b so need know what slot is able to that.

Flash a GSI provided by Google

Hello! Recently I decided to unlock my a51 boot loader and try something new. And I wanted to flash a GSI from Google, but I really don't know if is possible and if it is, should I flash it through TWRP? I guess I should use vmbeta.img from google as well.
And if it's not possible, what android 12 GSI could I try to flash on this device? Thanks!
