About
I've found information about flashing GSI's on this phone to be fragmented so here's a collection of resources that have worked for me.
If you have any suggestions or issues with popular GSI ROMs, drop them here and I'll do my best to update the thread.
Note: This guide is for users who have already flashed custom ROMs (not necessarily GSI) to their phone. If you're new to this or are coming from any MIUI ROM, please see other tutorials.

GSI Installation
1. Flash TWRP
The current latest version (as of the time of writing v3.3.0) supports for flashing GSIs.
2. Update firmware (optional)
I'm currently using the latest global firmware (as of time of writing v10.2.2.0) which seems to work fine. Download the zip from xiaomifirmwareupdater and flash in TWRP.
3. Flash treble BOOT and VENDOR partitions
Download the below image files (source).
boot.img
vendor.img
Install the images by using the following command or optionally using TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
4. Flash your GSI ROM
Pick a GSI from the Treble forum and be sure to download an ARM64 and A-Only variant. If the downloaded file is an archive (not an *.img file) you will need to extract the contents.
Go into TWRP
Copy the GSI image to your phone
Wipe "Dalvic/ART Cache", "Cache", "System" and "Data" paritions
Install the GSI image to the System Partition (Install -> Install Image -> yourimagefile.img - System Image)
Reboot back into TWRP
Resize the system partition (Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> check System -> partition options -> Resize FS)
Install Magisk & OpenGapps (both optional)

Not with Efran's gsi's but I've tried a few times on other 10's and had no luck on my end. I Used the 10 gsi Aonly 64 bit and I've formatted data and decrypted using Zach's force encrypt removal zip and magisk su zip and I've tried without removing encryption and no luck. It hangs on mi boot logo every time. I saw a DerpFest gsi on telegram that's when this whole gsi mission began for me. lol. Maybe we need a different boot.img and vendor.img for 10 idk? ? I tried with and without flashing the boot and vendor, decrypt and not decrypt and no go. ?

I booted RR v7.03 from Luke's GSI thread using vendor and boot in op but tried a few more 10 GSIs and they either hang on mi screen or bootloop forever. This RR is bad ass!! V7.03 wasn't made for Chiron and blows 7.02 off the map. Although security patch is from November 2019 I'm going to rock it a while. Sure will miss RR now that main dev stopped. Talk about a bad ass ROM!!! If anyone wants to use it its here. Just click the top link and you'll see the A only 64

Converting a gsi and vendor into a flashable zip file.

Hello Devs!
I had a question which I was wondering if possible or not.
Suppose I have a GSI and a corresponding vendor and the use the recovery to use the gsi and vendor.
Is there anyway to convert the gsi and vendor combined into a flashable zip file?
Any help would be appreciated ?

thank you I already found the repo for the Kernel Files and the Device Tree. But I also need the vendor files which are not included in this repo. Maybe they can be extracted from miui rom file but I don't know.
Download the latest MIUI rom and follow these instructions:

Oh and once you have the vendor.img file from above to extract that check here:
