Hello community! I'm back with another problem. On my last thread, I got the problem of rooting my device solved (thread link: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-40791.html). Now, I have the problem of flashing a GSI ROM on my device (my device specifications can be found at the bottom of this post). Since there are no custom roms available for my device, I decided to flash a GSI image. I've tried flashing the following images:
1. PixelExperience 11 Plus (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-u...us.4269051)
2. Phh-Treble AOSP 11 vanilla GSI (https://github.com/phhusson/treble_exper...s/releases)
3. Phh-Treble AOSP 9 vanilla GSI (https://github.com/phhusson/treble_exper...s/releases)
Command used to flash the image:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase system
fastboot -S 200M flash system system.img
fastboot -w
fastboot rebootNone of the above worked and everytime I had a bootloop. After some study on my device and its partition models, I found that the "system" partition is mounted at "/" (isn't is obvious for a SAR device?). That's not the actual problem. The actual problem is that everytime I flash the GSI image, the system partition gets erased or rewritten. This causes all the init and zygote files present in the system root directory to be erased too. And I suppose this is the actual reason which gives me bootloop everytime as GSI images don't contain those files. And if you're thinking to suggest me to simply use TWRP to flash the image then let me tell you that there is no supported TWRP for my device. I've tried, multiple times, Hovatek's auto TWRP porter and also tried to port the TWRP myself. In either cases, it just doesn't boot (take reference of my previous thread to know this problem). So, can you please suggest me a solution to flash the GSI image on my device? Thanks for reading till here.
