Gsi image flash for samsung a30 (sm-a305f) - Samsung Galaxy A30 Questions & Answers

Hi developers and fellow modders!
I got to know that our samsung a30 supports project treble and so we can install any gsi(generic system image ) it!!
That means latest updates as well of almost any android too be it stock or not!!
I wanted to know why is there no post regarding this?
Moreover this requires twrp which is already available and the vendor.zip needs to be found and then we can install any gsi rom out there be it lineage, pixel experience etc etc... Pls help pls as there is virtually no development for android 10.

What is treble and why is all the fuss about it?

Recently I saw that there appeared a new kind of roms which need a special recovery and, as I could find, have something to do with easier update of Android version. Also I have seen a project: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...-development/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659 which claims to have one rom file that can be flashed on a impressing number of roms. I saw the first comment by author which has a method to know if a device has support for treble and it is refered to run "treble check" app from play store on official rom. The thing is that I experimented and installed treble rom (lineage OS) from redmi 4x thread and did the check if the device is supported (the screenshot is attached below) and saw that on this rom it is supported, in contrary to MIUI. The question is about this controversion: is this device supported or not? Can I flash these ROMs from the thread? Are treble ROMs really like a universal flashable file for multiple devices?
If you flash GSI (Generic System Image) it will work on our device. Yes Treble roms are universally flashable if GSI is used, with some minimal modification for device specific. So porting roms will easier, and less time consuming.
Anyone can correct me, if i 'm wrong.

So if I flash the rim from this link specifically on redmi 4x, the device will have no harm at all?

Yes, but follow the instruction there. Our device is A-only device. Use the special recovery here for flashing. Or flash the lineageos 15.1 treble edition first just find in on our device forum.

I have seen that seamless updates require A and B partition. I want to know what I am loosing with this device by having only the A partition (what really is seamless update and how does it work)? P.S. sorry for being annoying.

As far as i know the seamlees update works this way:
In slot A you have installed any OS Example Android 8.1
In slot B there is a backup of the OS Om slot A
This mean you can install the ota of Android P (example) in one of the slots while you are on Facebook for example

Question about lack of A6 ROMs

After spending a couple of weeks searching for LineageOS for the A6 (not A6+), I've discovered that there's very little support for this device. Why is this?
Probably smaller userbase if we compare with other devices. Furthermore many things are common for most of the Exynos 7870 devices. Lack of roms shouldn't bother you, because we have GSI, so in this way you can run Android 11 and even Android 12 on A6.
Also, part of community is active on Telegram.
My A6 works very well on Lineage R mod (Android 11).

So it's not so much as ROMs for the A6 but instead more GSIs for the A6? If I'm understanding correctly

1. Go to custom recovery (recommended will be OrangeFox R11.0).
2. Wipe partitions: cache, dalvik, data, vendor, system.
3. Choose GSI from link above (I can recommend Lineage R mod but you can try different ones; choose arm32_binder64 vndklite builds), download, extract and flash it as "System Image" through custom recovery.
4. Flash vendor for A6 via custom recovery.
5. Optionally flash any custom kernel for A600X.
6. Reboot to system.
If you want typical OneUI rom then use RadicalQuack or JynxOS.

sorry lineage R mod support for A6+ S605G ?
Getting confused with the different versions for A6 / A6+ etc.
I have an SM-600FN model which I think is A6 (not S or +).
It's currently running stock 10 - is there a good 64bit ROM for this? I was thinking it'd be easy to pick out but it is old... I could only see an Android 6 64bit ROM?

For A600FN pretty stable arm64 rom is RadicalQuack. arm64 GSI is also possibile to run on arm64 vendor, but it's not perfect (unstable).

never mind. i found a 64 bit vendor on this forum and decided to try it, and now it works.
just to clarify, the arm images werent working either, so its not just working because im using the right architecture

I'm looking for it too, but to no avail. ALL Ares treble kernels that support 64 bits send me to download mode after flashing them.

It brought you to download mode probably just because you used wrong architecture of GSI. Vendor from my previous post is intended for arm32_binder64 (A64 - not arm64) vndklite GSI images.

i just used a lineageos 18 gsi image and the treble vendor, but it turns out that while it did get to the boot screen that says lineageos (which gave me tremendous amounts of hope), it would NEVER boot up, so dont do what i did i guess lol
currently, im trying what nqnxev told me, and it should hopefully work

Android 12 works fairly well on the same vendor, but flash this recovery at first, because older OrangeFox can stuck while boot with Android 12.

Question Flashing Android 13 based ROMs, how?

I'm seeing popular ROMs like EvoX and ArrowOS having official builds running on Android 13, and I'm curious how can I get them running on my Note 10 Pro, so any idea how to flash them on TWRP?

Install lIke always ???
:: download image, boot to twrp, clear relevant partitions ( see thousands threads before ), install .zip or image of rom, maybe install gapps and magisk , etc.
Go through the advertisements, but first understand whats going on , before you brick your device
Good luck !

There's one catch, you apparently need an Android 11 build of TWRP to flash Android 13 mods, due to odd issues on Android 12 TWRP builds

I think that the only person who can answer You is Yourself, by installing and testing each of the beta version of the 3 roms Android 13 existing at this moment for the Redmi Note 10 Pro.
Why ?
It’s a bit early as these 3 A13 roms are very recent and no many persons have already tested them.
I installed once Arrows 13, I find this rom very promising but I can’t use it as daily driver because I’m missing features which I have with A12 crDroid like separate volume for phone and notifications, 2 buttons navigation, advanced restart, MIUI camera, …
The download link for the second one seems to be not available for the moment.
The third one is total new (today) and the download link for the Redmi Note 10 Pro seems not to be yet loaded.
The best for You is either try by yourself or wait some time for having the advice of other users.

All depends of what you are expecting of the rom.
This morning I installed for the second time the last version of "Android 13 Project Elixir" on XDA forum :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ir-official-thirteen-aosp-05-09-2022.4489275/.
I gave my opinion about it (see and read last post of the thread Elixir).
The only point about which I will never discuss is the battery draining bacause it depends not only from the rom but also of the way you are using your smartphone and from the applications you have installed and are using.
Most, if not all, android 13 custom roms are still wip regarding the customisation, almost barebone. Miui camera might get ported to a13 once every bugs has been squished, meanwhile gcam should be a better alternative (see the dedicated thread about it). My advice: sticks to a12 until all customisation has been migrated to a13, unless you're willing to be a tester.

I am a new bee in mobile hardening and Operating System Customization. I have Samsung A12 SM-a127F and I want to install Lineage OS and GSI image

I have recently bought Samsung Galaxy A12 SM-a127f Android 12 Binary 7
I want to install Lineage OS and GSI image on it for some reason.
According to best of my knowledge, there is no official custom recovery (TWRP) available on Samsung official website. Therefore, I have decided to downgrade it to Android version 11 but unfortunately no firmware of Android version 11 has been flashed till yet.
Note: I have already unlocked the phone by enabling OEM unlock mode and successfully flashed "Samfw.com_SM-A127F_XSG_A127FXXU7BVI4_fac" on my device
Please help me in downgrading my device and for the installation of TWRP on it

If you're able to install TWRP, you should be able to run any GSI you want.
I have written a guide here but it is your responsibility to know what you are doing.

It's hard to say, try maybe flashing different kernel at first, and if it won't help ten play with different GSI's from the list:

You can try. but don't use old custom recovery, because Android 12+ can cause recovery bootloop. Try with this OrangeFox. Such GSI gives no guarantee of proper work on that A600X vendor.
