I have not tried to load the GSI ROM on that model. I guess there was some other topic under ROM development opened for that

https://t.me/mimix3_5G feel free to join this telegram group chat if you need any help we are all running a custom gsi with aosp 9 and 10 (pixel experience) @mxtuu222

Since last 20.1.9 update lost ecryption in twrp. Installed the latest 3.3.1.1.perseus. since then got loops to twrp. But if i try to launch
fastboot boot C:\mimix\twrp-3.3.1-1-perseus.img it boots to the system.
How to fix it?
dont want to use my PC to start the system every time.
Regards

Most probably you get bootloop, because after the update the partition was encrypted, you need to either flash DisableForceEncryption_Treble.zip or make a backup and install fresh OS with the guide from scratch,

[GUİDE] [ROM] [10] How to install Pixel Experience ROM for Redmi 8 [GSI]

First of all, the download link of all the files required for this "ROM" is taken from the "xda developers forum" posts.
I was constantly experimenting with GSI roms for Redmi 8. I was able to install the Pixel ROM on Redmi 8. I don't think you will have a problem if you follow the steps I shared with you one by one.
I do not take responsibility for the ROM. RESPONSIBILITY IS ENTIRELY YOURS.
Not working
-Face unlock
-Radio
-VoLTE
(You need to make a setting for the camera, notch, LTE Mobile Network and auto-brightness. I told you how to make the settings.)
NOTE: A computer is required to make this ROM setup. It must also be installed in ADB on your computer.
Note: You can install this ROM Google Camera as apk. Unfortunately, there are no features such as Portrait, night mode in the original camera application of the device. However, you can use it if you install it as an apk.
Please download that files:
Download - Pixel Experience ROM GSI file
Download --- Sky Hawk Recovery file
Download - Permissiver V5
Download -Certification Patch for Redmi 8
Download -Treble overlay for Redmi 8
Download --- Lastest Magisk-v20.4
Here -Get the TWRP Official for Redmi 8
Download - vbmeta.img
Note: Please charge your phone at least 60%
First, take the necessary backups as your phone will be completely reset.
1- Unlock your bootloader. For unlocking follow this: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
2- Copy all the files to your SD Card (PixelExperience_ARM64AB-10.0-20200118-2138-GSI.img, SHRP_v2.2.zip, Permissiver_v5.zip, Certification_Patch.zip, Magisk-v20.4.zip, treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi8.apk)
3-Enable USB debugging. Connect the phone your computer Then copy the twrp.img and vbmeta.img files to the adb folder.
Note: If the name of your twrp file is not twrp.img, please set its name to twrp.img.
4- Go to your computer, open adb folder in cmd, write that:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
5- Now we will go to the restart phone command. At that moment, you should quickly hold down the volume up key and power button of your phone. Enter this command:
fastboot reboot
Then, hold down the power button with quick boost and turn on twrp.
6- Install Magisk-v20.4.zip in twrp.
Then restart the phone. After the phone reboots, check if Magisk is installed. Once you see it installed, reboot the phone in recovery mode.
7- Install SHRP_v2.2_olive.zip then reboot recovery.
8- Now find the wipe button and tap it. Then press the format data and confirm by typing yes.
9- Then tap wipe again and click on the wipe button at the bottom right.
10- Tap the wipe again and tap on advanced wipe. Select the Dalvik, data, cache, system partitions and reset them.
11- Now return to the main menu screen and tap flash. Select your SD card in the lower right section and tap the PixelExperience_ARM64AB-10.0-20200118-2138-GSI.img file. Then select it as system image and install it.
12- Return to the main menu and come to the flash section and install the file Permissiver_v5.zip.
13- Then go back to the flash section and install the Certification_Patch.zip file.
14- Return to the main menu, tap wipe and complete the wipe from the button on the bottom right.
15- Reboot the system. Your device will either boot in fastboot mode or be bootloop. (If you see it open normally and no problems occur, you can skip step 18.)
16- Go to fastboot mode.
17- Connect the phone to the computer and open the adb folder on cmd. Type:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot recovery
The phone will reboot and turn on. Please set up the phone and turn USB debugging back on.
18- After doing setup and enabling usb debugging, reboot to recovery mode and install magisk.zip. Then reboot the phone.
19- Install build prop editor(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor&hl=en&pli=1) and root browser(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree&hl=en) from the Play Store.
20- Open root browser and allow root access then go to your SD card and find treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi8.apk
21- Copy to treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi8.apk on Root Directory/system/overlay/ folder.
22- Select treble-overlay-xiaomi-redmi8.apk file on overlay folder and tap the three dots in the top right and tap the properties.
23- Click on the Permissions at the top bar.
24- Select like this photo (link: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p...VrSOGT_V9Q2bzgy5IuE9nIfPslILJ1Vz=w429-h904-no ) and click apply then reboot system.
25- Open the build prop editor and allow root access. then tap the 3 dots in the upper right and tap new.
name= persist.camera.HAL3.enabled
value= 1
Set it to and save it. Restart the system.
26- Go to the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Tap Phone information and set "set preffered network type: LTE only." Then reboot system.
27- Finally, if you want to fix the appearance of the screen notch go to
developer settings >> display cutout and select corner cutout.
That was it. Please note that I am not a developer, so I cannot resolve any errors. I believe that if you apply them like me, you won't have a problem. I will be waiting for your comments. Have a nice day.

You're welcome. If you encounter any problems, please let me know. If you follow what I wrote under normal conditions step by step, you won't have a problem.

Query before flashing
Hello Boss,
on checking the system by "Treble Check" app, it is showing that it is A-type System partition. And the ROM you suggested is AB type. Is there any thing i should worry about before flashing.
I am currently using Lineage OS (unofficial), and following functions doesn't work on it.
Finger print
VOLTE
Radio
face unlock
What about this ROM functionality.

At first I tried installing A-only on my device but it didn't work. It worked when I installed A / B. So please try A / B GSI. Because the device you have is probably A / B, not A-Only.
Finger print is working and face unlock is not have in Pixel Experience ROM.
VOLTE and Radio is not working bro.
I will list all the features that work by edit the post today or tommorrow bro

This file exists to integrate the model of the device into rom. I don't know much about google play and you can also install this and permissiver_v5 with other gsi roms. These only for Redmi 8.

Before system-as-root was used only on A/B devices but now all devices that ship with Android 9 must use system-as-root. Because of this reason you need to flash A/B roms on A-Only on these devices. As you can see from this page's device list, Redmi 8's image type is A/B so you need to flash an A/B image: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki

All sensors working

i tried it and the sensors didn't work. i needed to flash stock rom and then pixel rom over the stock rom to get it work. seems logical, had no issue so far except the camcorder. when i record a video, lets say i recorded a video for 10 second. but when i play the video, it becomes 1hour video and the sound doesn't sync with the video. video stays frozen the whole time and plays normally at the last few seconds. i tried other gsi and had the same issue. is something wrong? any known solution? are you facing the same problem? if not, then which camera app you are using? thanks in advance because pixel experience is working now after following ur steps

Yes, there is a problem in this regard. Unfortunately, I could not solve this problem. I usually use Instagram cam for video. You can try bro

I use havocOs gsi. It has same problem. Solution:
1. record a video.
2. do not close camera app.
3. open video from the camera app not from gallery.
4. play the video once.
if that plays then you can open that same video from any app.
try that, might work.

it works sometimes but not always.. Currently I am using Havoc OS and it doesn't have a gallery app. So I downloaded "Gallery Go" from playstore and when I try to open the video from the camera app, it opens with gallery go app.
to be noted, i have added some commands in build.prop..
media.camera.ts.monotonic=0
debug.stagefright.ccodec=0
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
i don't know what these do but these commands were mentioned somewhere to enable camera2api..
am i missing something?

Thanks for the attenction​

Happy that many GSI roms are under develment. I hope this phone will die due to hardware, as there are lots of options in future to keep the software updated.
Anyway, if someone intends to try, following is the link of all GSI Roms.

Hey
I'm not using crDroid yet, but I've already installed TWRP.
It is advertised that you should flash vbmeta when you're installing TWRP.
I hope I can help you

Hey !
I wanna try this but I have rooted my phone so here is my question : do I need to remove the root to install this GSI ?
Thx a lot

Volume doesn't work correctly, I cannot increase or decrease the volume. And I plugged my headphone not play through headphone, it play through speaker. Sorry my English

No, you have to flash it with ADB like twrp

I recommend you to remove it from the magisk app to avoid problems but I think that would be the same

I haven't this problem, have you flashed the gsi fixer? Did you start the installation from miui 12.0.1? It's really important, anyway, you can try to do again the procedure

Does VoLTE and VoWIFI works ? It's a GSI so I'm not thinking it works...

I have reinstalled and fixed it, thanks

Hey !
I'm so happy !
Everything works on that GSI rom, but I haven't the certification on SafetyNet.
With the covid-tracing app, there is a little problem but it's with all the custom roms so...
Thanks a lot for your guide !

Hi, I'm happy for you, for safetynet try the magisk module, I didn't have this problem, anyway, try the rom and than leave a feedback, it could be useful for other people who want to try this rom

I can't get this rom to work correctly. Did the steps as described, but it has SELinux not enforced and Google play isn't certified. Tried multiple times.
EDIT: seems my phone is soft bricked now (Can't install any rom). Going back to xaomi stock to try again.

I tried again and got it to work. The certificate patch throws an error but Google apps are working.
I get an SE Linux not enforcing error. though.
Is there anything I can do about that?

Tutorial updated for Netflix and Disney+

Hi, updated for Android 11

Hey thanks for the relly good description. I have only one Problem. Iam not able to use the phone with Gapps. Installation works and the phone starts. but after config some essentials like time an wirelesslan i see the big cycle from google. I waited all night long but it stucks. Installation without gapps works perfect (with lineageos first start routine). Have any ideas? Or ist at possible to get a backapp to load it with TWRP restore?

Update: i tried bitgapps and now it works.

[HOWTO][SM-T590] Samsung Tab A 10.5 (2018) GSI installation + twrp + prevent bootloop + magisk + gapps + safetynet

[HOWTO][SM-T590] Samsung Tab A 10.5 (2018) GSI installation + twrp + prevent bootloop + magisk + gapps + safetynet​
This is my first tuto for the SM-T590 Tab. I´ve tried to install GSI for days. The results was bootloops. So I asked some people, readed some stuff. And voila it´s working. So I would like to share my experience to you.
First of all I would like to say thanks to all the people who helped me to understand some things. But a BIG THANKS goes to @UDPSendToFailed . Thank you for your patience with me .
It should be clear but I would like to write it down here.. I am not a professional and collection my knowledge from other sites and threads. So I am not responsible for data loss, device bricking or other stuff. Thank you.
Prerequisites​- working ADB and fastboot, ubuntu suggested​- odin and odin patched version​- all necessary files: twrp.img; stock FW (latest); GSI Image (a64-binder); Magisk; Disable-DM-Verity.zip​
Enable developer settings and allow OEM unlock​- go to settings, system, about the phone; click several times on build-number​- go back to main, then more settings, developer options​- toggle USB debugging + OEM unlock​
Prepare download mode for odin​- connect the tab to your computer and run the following codes:​
Code:
adb devices
there should be a message to authorize adb to your device​
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now we should be in download mode​
Flash stock FW​- download latest FW​- open odin (unmodified), choose FW files (AP, BL,CSC)​- click start, be patient, if finished it will reboot to system, close odin​- walk through the setup​
Flash recovery/twrp​- open modded odin​- select "AP" and open the recovery file​- hold volume up and then press start (if you´re not it will boot to system and overwrite recovery)​
Flash GSI​- so now inside twrp..​- follow those steps exactly; very important; otherwise you will end up in a bootloop​- go to "wipe" and select format data, confirm with "yes"​- reboot to recovery again, otherwise twrp wont have access to internal storage​- again to "wipe", then "factory reset"​- go back to "install" section, toggle "install zip" to "install img"​- select your GSI image and choose "install to system"​- when finished go back to "wipe" section​- select "Advance Wipe" then select "System" and then "Repair or Change File System"​- click on "Resize File System" and swipe to confirm​- now go back to "install" section and flash first Disable-DM-Verity and if wanted Magisk24.1 afterwards​- if also needed you can now install gapps​
Pass Safetynet​- boot up system and open magiskmanager​- go to "modules" section and install "hide props config​- download "termux terminal"​- open "termux terminal" and type su; grant root​- type props and choose option "1 - Edit device fingerprint"​- choose "f"​- choose "26 - samsung"​- choose "85 - sm-t590"​- confirm with "y" twice!​
Congrats. Now your GSI should boot up. If you have any questions or suggestions please dont hesitate to let me know.
P.s. please be patient with my English, I am from Germany.

--> reboot system = loop
can you help me --> wegen mir auch in Deutsch
Grüße von Deutschland to Germany

Hello there,
to bes sure... what was your exact step for resizing system partition? It was the minor reason for me that the os wont boot up. In my case I´ve only tested AOSP right now.
Maybe your bootloop is caused by the os itself. I am now not at home for about 6 weeks but I´ll give it a try and will let you know ASAP.
You can try AOSP GSI for the meantime.
Grüße auch aus DBT!

my Problem was the wrong ROM i used the arm ROM but for the sm-t590 you need the a64 (binder) ROM OK, its working fine but i head a Problem with my MAC Adress every boot i have another WiFi MAC adress i tested AOSP crdrom and many other but all the same, in the developer Mode the Random MAC is still disabled! how can i fix the MAC adress?
i try it with busybox and ifconfig ..... but i get allways a denied

Hey,
I am sorry to let you know that I am not a developer and so it is not easy for me to understand which part of OS will cause the problems with the mac adress as in your case.
But I think I´ve heard about that problem in the past.
Glad to hear that GSI is working for you right know.
Greetings.

and you have no problems with the wifi? or you have not noticed the changing MAC address?
can you tell me which versions you have flashed
stock Rom Android 10?
and which ASOP version?
--> then I try that times like you

I would really like a custom ROM without ONE UI, but I carry my tablet around in public. Can I set a password on this GSI or will there be a bootloop? And I think that the roms from the T590 will be installed on the T595, since the difference is only in the LTE module? (Well, about the same as on the Nexus 9 LTE / WiFi?)

i have a password set up but i had to deleting keystore.mdfpp.so and keystore.msm8953.so from /vendor/lib/hw after this you can set a password without bootloop!
The only problem I have with it is that my MAC address keeps changing and every now and then the connection drops!
