How do I disable dm-verity on Tecno Camon 19
(01-02-2024, 01:48 AM)JermyHan01 I have the Tecno Camon 19, android 13, a Mediatek device with build number: CI6-H6917ABC-T-GL-231121V478.
I've unlocked the bootloader and now I intend to install a pre-rooted GSI, but first I have to disable dm-verity. Can I do this by flashing an empty vbmeta.img, or it must be the vbmeta.img from the stock firmware? I don't have access to the stocj firmware.

I've been skeptical about using a blank vbmeta because like you said I can't be sure the phone would permit that.(01-02-2024, 01:48 AM)JermyHan01 I have the Tecno Camon 19, android 13, a Mediatek device with build number: CI6-H6917ABC-T-GL-231121V478.

You can flash an empty vbmeta, but I recommend backup the firmware first in case GSI doesn't like it.

(06-02-2024, 09:04 AM)maxpayneThanks, I was actually able to find the firmware online and root the phone, then disable vbmeta and flash GSIs. Only that the brightness is very low, I'm still looking for a fix(03-02-2024, 09:37 AM)JermyHan01 .. the phone refused to boot into the GSI rather it kept booting into the stock firmware.
I don't think mtk client supports this chipset.
This GSI you flashed, has anybody using this same model confirmed it works?
