-
Note 1: Use Platform-tools 34.0.4! Newer Versions have a bug that prevent flashing the vbmeta with Verification Disabled.
-
Note 2: There's an entire Telegram Group full for Custom ROMs for this Device! Use those instead for less Headaches.
-
Note 3: If you flashed a Custom Recovery (e.g: OrangeFox) You MUST Flash the Original Recovery! How FastbootD works in Custom Recoveries
Completely break Flashing GSIs. A Symptom of this is your GSI Bootlooping forever after you reboot.
There are many ways you can do this. I unlocked mine using the Mi Unlock tool on PC but that was 3 Years Ago.
You can do this with ADB using this Command: adb reboot bootloader
You can also do it by Holding the Volume Down button while booting the Phone.
> fastboot devices
should output something like this: 1e7c3794 fastboot
Otherwise, Install the Xiaomi USB Drivers!
> fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta <path\to\vbmeta.img>
<path\to\vbmeta.img> is placeholder for vbmeta.img from your Stock Firmware.
Forgetting to do this step will Soft Brick your Phone. (It'll Bootloop)
> fastboot reboot fastboot
Fastboot is for Flashing stuff like bootloaders. FastbootD is for flashing System Partitions.
> fastboot erase system
> fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a
> fastboot delete-logical-partition product_b
This erases the system partitions, but also the logical partitions. Not deleting them can cause a 'out of space' error.
> fastboot flash system <path\to\system.img>
<path\to\system.img> is placeholder for the GSI.
> fastboot -w
This wipes and prepares the User Data for the new ROM.
The way OrangeFox handled this made the GSI Unbootable after restarting from the first boot.
(To be fair, the OrangeFox build i used was Unofficial, but i still don't recommend Custom Recoveries for FastbootD Flashing!)
> fastboot reboot
Reboot the Phone and attempt booting into the GSI.
Now is the time you start Praying. Did the GSI Actually work? guess you'll just have to wait and see.
