Hey all as stated in title on the hisense q5 I'm receiving some sort of a file error when trying to use this app.

DSU feature seems broken in your current ROM.
Are you running Android 10? if so, try set selinux to permissive, and try again.

Selinux got set to permission and system mounted rw attached is the full log.
the major point of interest would seem to be

You're using Android 10, right?
Android 10 seems to have this bug, fortunately it was fixed on 11, however people running Android 10 seem to be "out of luck".
I tried to fix this issue by building a custom gsid with some patches from Android 11, however, i do not have a Android 10 device to test it :\

Anyway, what Android version you're running? do you have Magisk installed? if so, i can send create a module with a custom gsid binary that may fix your issue (no clue if it will work)

[J3rr1ck]

No magisk but a userdebug build, currently trying to livepatch in a magisk su bin, though after further investigation and a conversation with unisoc it seems they may have intentionally disabled the gsi functions in their code.

Thats sad, anyway, i got a unisoc device running Android 10, and i got the same problems as you, after setting selinux to permissive, dsu just finishes silently with extents error, when using a custom gsid binary (the one i've did some changes), installation process works and finishes as well, but i cannot test if dsu is really working, because im running on locked bootloader (those unisoc seem hard to unlock without manufacture help).

If you, or someone else wants to try, ill be linking a Magisk Module (if no Magisk is avaiable, you can replace gsid binary directly into system partition, binary is inside module) module_gsid_test.zip (Android 10 ONLY)

About the changes, i've just compiled Android 10 with this:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/system/gsid/+/1166406/

No clue if it will work, make sure to do a backup first, also, i have no idea what can go wrong, so keep caution!

[VegaBobo]

Ill be closing this as completed, DSU Sideloader v2 includes a optional Magisk module that adds a custom gsid binary, in which, may fix this Android 10 issue, i've tested installation, and seems to be working as expected (i cannot test if installation was really working because the unique device i have to test it, was one with locked bootloader).

[srihari0-0]

Is there any way to install that custom magisk module without root or any other way around. Sorry, I am new to this and i want to install this module but i don't want to root my device. I found this comment from another forum _ " if no Magisk is avaiable, you can replace gsid binary directly into system partition, binary is inside module) ". Can someone explain what it means.{ i have unlocked bootloader of my device and is running dsu in shizuku mode}
