(16-08-2022, 08:50 PM)kelvinchinedu Wherever u got this error know that your platforms tools is the issue , install all Google USB driver,use latest platforms tools from sdk and also use Mfastboot.exeI made sure using the latest platform tools , and all other tools to be used in the latest versions possible , considering all other commands work fine , but it seems that this GSI wont work for my device since its partition parameters are a little different , my device has a 256mb partition size for the system partition and the GSI image is clearly larger for my device , either I change the allocated sizes for the system partition or this img just wont work ..
It will fix it for u.
Pls e word is enough for the wise
We always encourage that u take a backup before doing a modding stuff on your phone.
(17-08-2022, 06:12 PM)kelvinchinedu Use parted to partition your system partition to make it larger so that u can flash even the largest gsi including Gapps inside system.I'm actually not sure about the partition sizes for my device , and also I think making the system partition larger would also reduce usable storage within android , right ?

(18-08-2022, 12:40 PM)kelvinchinedu Yeah it will reduce it but I will have enough space on system and porting twrp will be good especially when I run into bootloopActually today , I did try porting twrp using Hovatek TWRP porter and it did not work , the phone was booting properly but twrp did not open but the stock recovery was opening as if nothing really happened , if you have the twrp recovery image for my device please provide it if you can , since all my efforts till now have resulted in nothing and always end up reflashing the stock rom ..
There are stable twrp which u can get for your device
