[psa] [umidigi f1] [gsi] project treble works!!

[CarlGSR]

Hello! I love this and really want this for my Umidigi F1, but whenever I boot the newly flashed custom rom, it just gets stuck on the boot logo, forever. I already tried DescendentX, BlissROM, and Resurrections Remix, all the same result.
I believe I did and followed all of you steps correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Probably updating the rom with the method of the original post, it's not wrong, I also had bootloop in CustomRom by the flashtool method

The solution would be to install via Fastboot, go to the 5th page of this topic, in post # 91 (which would be mine) and see if the same problem occurs

Seems awesome! I'll try it out today!

@CarlGSR where did you get " Bless project (BlissROMs Q Mod) "
is this the correct link https://xdaforums.com/t/official-blissroms-q-mod-bless.4138687/

trying to help out my parents they have the F1 running stock Umidigi and it has too many issues
so want to try something else
hoping that this is more stable

does this ROM "Bliss" allow making a phone call without rebooting?
please let us know if the link i posted above is correct?
also is the newest recovery still 3.3.1 from petercxy?

spft problem

Every time I try to flash gsi from sp flash tools I get the "PMT has changed for the rom error". Any fix? When I use fastboot, the booting doesn't go beyond splash image. Tried with latest Descendant

Open SPFT, click on the Format tab. Under Auto Format Flash, click Format whole flash except Bootloader.

Power off your device. Click the blue play button that says Start. Hold the volume up button on your Umidigi F1 and plug in your USB. After ok with a green checkmark, try again.

@pchtc My sincere apologies for the delay in responding, I did not receive the notification in my email.
You have probably solved that question, but I will answer it anyway.

Yes, and at the moment of the few Treble roms I used, none of them made the phone restart when making calls. Only one thing does restart: Chromium-based browsers (after randomly loading / returning a page)

Bless rom is good, but if you want recent alternatives, you can try these too (I tested it myself)

- Havoc OS-v3.12 (20201230)
(Android 10, Latest Magisk and GApps works, I'm currently using) No fingerprint / YES face recognition

- Lineage-18.1 (20210111)
(Android 11, Magisk not tested, but the manager comes preinstalled, GApps not tested) No fingerprint / No face recognition

- Chaos v300l (210117) (GApps version)
(Android 11, Magisk not tested, but the manager comes preinstalled, GApps from the factory) No fingerprint / No face recognition
"Invalid sparse file format at header magic" happens but installs normally

Resurrection Remix v8.6.5 - Not recommended because SIM CARD is not recognized

ATTENTION: for some reason the encryption of this ROM "prevents" the downgrade to other "old versions" of Android 10, showing the secure boot at startup, enter any password and you will receive a message that "Decryption failed / corrupted data" (is the which I suppose, since I only had this downgrade problem with these Roms)

** DATA partition somehow lost its encryption handshake key and this caused the problem, reformatting fixes it. **

In this case, in the TWRP, Format DATA, then go to Advanced Wipe >> Select DATA Partition >> Repair or Change file Sytem and check your original file system (for mine is ext4) >> Change File System >> Select any one (ex: exFat) >> after the change, go back to the original file system (for mine is ext4)

Hello everyone.

I am new in this forum and with this phone Umidigi F1 Play too. I saw all this post from the begining and I saw there were two flash methods used: over FlashTool and ADB commands. I tried the conventional flashing over TWRP, in this way (without responsibility from my side for damage, data loosing or something else went wrong);

1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flash TWRP (twrp-3.5.0_9-0-f1_play.img). Go into twrp
3. Format Data and flash "Disable-Force-Encryption-Treble.zip" for "No encryption mod"
4. Wipe all necessary: Dalvik Cache; System; Data and Cache
5. Flash System image (ROM-saved on the phone). Here, I tryed different ROMs and all those have worked with its issues:
- AncientOS-CIVILIZATION-v3.7-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- AospExtended-10-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- bliss10.0-v224-201015-arm64-bvN.img.xz
- Havoc-OS-v3.12-20201230-Official-arm64-ab.img.xz
- KomodoOS-2.5-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- Legion-v2.7-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- LeOS-Q-20210113-bvN.img.xz (really a very interessant rom with Micro-G)
- losq-v224-201017-arm64-bvN.img.xz
- Resurrection_Remix_8.6.5_arm64-ab_vanilla.img.xz
- Syberia-10-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- TitaniumOS-10-v1.0-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- Xtended-XQ-v8.0-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
- ZenX-OS-v1.8-arm64-ab-vanilla.img.xz
---> I'm using Resurrection_Remix_8.6.5_arm64-ab_vanilla.img.xz, without Gapps (attached files with recognized sim cards)
6. Flash permissive file "Permissiver_v5.zip" to avoid loops
7. Reboot into system and search for "advance power" to select "reboot into recovery" or you can press vol+ and power button, together, then release power and vol+, in this order after reboot
8. Install gapps. I installed OpenGapps and NickGapps but i became a lot of issues with the roms, therefor I flashed BitGapps in its pico version (BiTGApps-arm64-11.0.0-R19_signed.zip - 82.4MB). For the moment I don't have installed any gapps
- If twrp says "there is no free place for the (gapps) installation" (25MB), you must go to the wipe menu and select "Advanced Wipe" button, check only "System" and at least the "Repair or Change File System" button (NOT swipe to wipe!!!), then "swipe to resize" you become 900MB free space and you can flash Gapps (the quantities of MB can be different...)
9. Now, you can root your phone, install Magix (Magisk-v22.0(22000).zip -) and reboot into system. That's all folk!

Of course there are more roms don't working but the list is too large. If you see, the most of roms are from the PHH Project in its vanilla version, other ones like "berkay" or "Erfan" don't work with me, try it, maybe you'll have more luck (or maybe I have done something wrong)

Enjoy!

How many people are using Android 11 right now on this phone? (Mine is the Non play version, Umidigi F1)
Just a precaution about TWRP from either Petercxy (3.3.1) or Shadow of Leaf (3.5.2), TWRP will complain that system or the /system_root partition needs cleaning but easy to fix

1. Reboot into fastboot and flash the system with the GSI you want
2. enter "Fastboot reboot" while holding Vol UP to enter recovery
3. Mount /system_root as Read-Only, Tap Mount > Mount system read-only then tap System
4. Backup the system partition with either TWRP or ADB with "adb backup --twrp" (select the partition by the backup menu, it will have boot and data selected by default but that menu with the selected items is what the command will backup to a backup.ab file)
5. Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Select System > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > EXT4 > Confirm
6. Now restore your system backup and you can flash zips again without worry.

Also, anyone got Magisk v2x working on Andorid 11, I got Viper4Android working with a rootless driver zip but Magisk Manager keeps saying Installed:N/A every zip I tried so far.

i think it is irrelevant but i build lineageos 17.1 (not treble) for umidigi f1 and f1 play and you can test it here

@cidlover
Thanks for the post to fix the 'needs cleaning' error in twrp. I am using the newer version of TWRP (3.5.2 by Shadow of Leaf) to flash GSI ROMs to my Umidigi F1 and ran into this error. I tried to fix it but cannot see the system partition in TWRP back up screen, after mounting it successfully at step 3. (I can see /system_root mounted from adb shell.)

Also, at step 5. (Advanced Wipe) I do not see the system partition so I cannot select it for repair.

Anyone ran into the same problem and how to fix it? TIA.
