Ubuntu touch GSI on Xiaomi MI 8 - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

So, i heard ubuntu touch released a GSI image to flash with twrp but you need to recompile or patch the kernel to successfully boot it. I don't have the skills to do this alone just following the guide without any reference, so could someone look into this stuff to help me do this thing?
Thank you all, i would love to see ubuntu touch kde running on my phone. :victory: (pls don't look at my ridiculous username)

Recently Ubuntu Touch was ported to Mi 8, by me and NotKit. See my profile, for links, and install instructions

Android Pie ROM For Redmi 6 Pro

First, I'm so sorry about my poor Chinese English.
I'm new here, just registered 5 minutes ago.
In our China forum 'Coolapk', some cool guys invented(sorry I don't know whether they invented this method) a method, which can directly flash Android Pie on their devices by recovering backups via TWRP RECOVERY.
They named this 'technology' FFAP(Fast Flash Android Pie).
As far as I concerned, most of them succeeded. Even AOSP ROM for Pixel 2 runs successfully on Samsung S9+. That's amazing!
Then... I searched 'FFAP' on Baidu, the most popular search engine in our China, found that THE DEVICE MUST SUPPORTS PROJECT TREBLE.
Redmi 6 Pro supports this.
This means we can fast flash Android Pie on it.
Someone succeeded. Let Redmi 6 Pro ate the pie!
Luckily, the ROM has been packed.
You can just flash it by TWRP.
Download ROM:

to be open and honest here, i would not recommend anyone to use the provided link , if u want to use android pie i would strongly recommend to use this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...e-howto-flash-gsi-redmi-6-pro-sakura-t3852191 please use software that people can trust , like in the guide i provided above dont just flash any gsi, or zip someone posted which is registered for 5 minutes.

[TWRP] Meizu Pro 7 Series (p25 and x30)

HEY GUYS,​
AFTER A LOT OF SEARCHING OVER VARIOUS FORUMS, FINALLY I FOUND A DEVELOPED TWRP RECOVERY FOR BOTH MEIZU PRO 7S P25 AND MEIZU PRO 7 PLUS X3O VARIANT.
RIGHT NOW WE CAN INSTALL THE CUSTOM RECOVERY ON PRO 7 (P25) VARIANT ONLY. BECAUSE RECENTLY WE FOUND THE GUIDE TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER.
BUT FOR NOW THERE IS NO VERIFIED METHOD TO INSTALL THIS RECOVERIES ON PRO 7 (X30) BECAUSE OF THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
STILL I AM SHARING THE LINKS , BECAUSE SOMEONE MAY FIND A WAY TO INSTALL IT SUCCESSFULLY.
HERE ARE THE LINKS:-
MEIZU PRO 7S :-https://gitlab.com/HosteBin/yshalsager/raw/master/Meizu/pro7s/TWRP_pro7s-090818.img

NOTE:-I SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE,IF YOU WANT TO TRY THIS OUT THEN PLEASE DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Update 19 Dec:- The Guide to unlock Bootloader of Meizu Pro 7 is posted Now.

Do you have a web source to check their progress?
They are devs and geeks over 4pda, you can see their progress over meizu 16th forums.

Oh, I get it, I'm watching just Meizu Pro 7 forum on 4pda.
It's interesting that someone put a screenshot with working supersu on this device on 4pda forum for this phone. There are no other details provided but maybe the guy will unveil them soon It would be nice if it's working on Global variant.
We tried it, i have a friend from the contributer of that post, well the thing is it really works. You can install super su on flyme 7.0.0.0G. There will be procedure posted soon, but the problem is that if you want to install supersu on latest global stable ie 7.1.0.0 then you cant because the basic need is stock root. And in latest stable you cant root so simply now, for it you have to register over official site. Well that's too lengthy.

Nice
Do you know if this supersu could work on Flyme 6.1.3.2G? For me, battery usage is better in this old ROM than in latest 7.x.
Yes. It works on Flyme 6 flawlessly. The flashfire apk also support Flyme 6, so with super su you can use flashfire to flash latest chinese flyme stable into your device. That means you can install A firmware on Global variant.
If you want guide right now then search meizu m6 4pda forum or else wait for few days we will post guide soon.

Can you share your guide to unlock bootloader for this device, also share your install log for the recovery so we can work on mount partition bugs. In order to fully test and develop a working TWRP we need more devices to install , therefore requesting you to share your guide to unlock bootloader for pro7 p25 variant. Thanks.!!!
Update 19 DEC:- Soon posting the guide for Unlocking Bootloader of Meizu Pro 7 (p25)

it's obvious, anyone can fingd this information on internet. this project is interesting. but i didn't see in this this section active users with necessary skill for a kernel compiling. most of this they still haven't figured out the right way to flash a gsi
I try to attract a lot of developers to help these people who could help them build and fix kernel problems and fix the touchscreen in TWRP and we also install GSI via fastboot

it is a good initiative. I am a good modder but unfortunately at the programming level I am poor. I hope you will find someone able to do that. but I think it's not easy. until now no one has succeeded
PS: actually flash gsi is possible and for my experience also very simple
thank you, I will try to find people who will help if you want to help in some way, you are always happy

And having flashed 6 GSI make you important? especially when you tell me that you have to root my phone to install a GSI or that you can't use "XiaomiADBFastbootTools" if you don't have Linux LOL I use it every day under Windows and yet I'm in dual boot with Linux Mint.
have a good day

you didnt understant what i have said. probably my English is not perfect. ps: i have modded my first phone with android 4.1 firmware. so i have flashed more than 6 gsi. HOWEVER THIS DOESN'T MAKE ME MORE IMPORTANT, I'M NOT A PRESUMPTION
the fact remains that these problems do not concern me, and I might even avoid trying to help. rather you who are so good, why not create a detailed guide where you explain how to flash a gsi without risking ibootloop? I could also do it, but I gladly leave the honor to you.
xiaomifastboot tools for linux i'm talking are these. is a java script, probably work also under win, but under linux are better and easier to use
pps. LINUX MINT?!? WOW I'M IMPRESSED. LOL
