How did you manage to sideload? my laptop can't detect my A125F (Running LineageOS 18.1 GSI) when it's in TWRP/Advance/Sideload? I want to sideload GApps because I keep getting errors when I flash GApps in TWRP where the error is "system partition is out of space." BTW this recovery can't load any custom TWRP themes, I tried it. Also, internal storage can't read properly it just shows a lot of folders with random long names.DISCLAIMER: I WAS NEVER, HAVE NEVER BEEN, AND WILL NEVER BE RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMAGES AGAINST YOUR DEVICES BY YOUR OWN MIS-OPERATIONS
Install instructions:
1. Download an arbitrary SM-A125F firmware zip package on SamMobile.com, whose Android version is 11
2. Flash by Heimdall by PIT partitions or by Odin by BL, AP, CP, and CSC tar packages
3. Back to the stock ROM > go to Developments settings > allow OEM unlocking (Developments settings could be enabled by tapping 7~10 times somewhere in About Device)
4. If OEM unlocking is unseen to you, take software updates first
5. Also inside Developments settings, enable USB debugging
6. Download the TWRP image, and unzip.
7. Hold <VolUp>+<VolDn> with device tethered to USB-C with your PC
8. Hold <VolUp> to unlock OEM
9. Hold <VolUp>+<VolDn> again with device not disconnected of USB-C
10. Press <VolUp> without holding to enter Download mode
11. Open ODIN to flash the downloaded TWRP in AP slot with my TWRP image.
12. Hold <VolDn> + <Power> to shut down, then Hold <VolUp> + <Power> to reboot to TWRP
Important: device must boot directly to recovery or stock recovery will be restored if you boot direct to OS.
13. Enjoy!
What is working:
Mounting, flashing, sideloading, MTP also fixed now.
What is not working:
Decrypting USERDATA
You tell me...

Need guides for flashing NanoDroid which says ‘‘unsupported A/B device’’ but the GSI OS is A/B, and doesn’t support seamless upgrades

And also your latest build doesn’t even have an option to wipe system partition, and never successfully backs data partition up somewhy

You're not supposed to wipe system
Your data must be still encrypted

Install instructions:
1. Download an arbitrary SM-A125F firmware zip package on SamMobile.com, whose Android version is 11. I used A125FXXU2BVB4 firmware.
2. Clean install firmware (means, no magisk boot module, etc. Flash with ODIN full firmware (BL, AP, CP and CSC _A125FXXU2BVB4*.TAR.MD5. Tick in ODIN options: NAND ERASE; Re-partition. Make sure AUTO REBOOT is OFF!!!
3. Let ODIN flash all, on completion, click reset, disconnect and connect USB, Select recovery.img (below post) in AP slot, and nulled VBMETA.img (below) in USERDATA slot. again; Make sure AUTO REBOOT is OFF!!!
4. Let ODIN flash all. Once all succeeded; Hold <VolDn> + <Power> to shut down, then Hold <VolUp> + <Power> to reboot to TWRP
5. Once TWRP has booted, do full factory reset (wipe caches and data). After that, format data completely. Reboot to recovery once done.
6. Once TWRP has re-booted, go to advance, terminal and execute command: multidisabler.
This will protect data partition from becoming encrypted again, and secure recovery partition from being replaced.
7. Reboot to system, and setup device as normal. After this, you could install Root or what ever you want.
Important: device must boot directly to recovery or stock recovery will be restored if you boot direct to OS.
8. Enjoy!
What is working:
Mounting, flashing *.img to superpartitions, MTP also fixed now.
What is not working:
ADB sideloading;
You tell me...
Device tree: https://github.com/edward0181/android_device_samsung_a12
Kernel tree: https://github.com/00p513-dev/android_kernel_samsung_a123For those who wants to install GSI, etc:
Boot to recovery, flash IMG and select what partition you want to flash to.
No need for aditional tools with latest update.210/05/2022
Rebuild kernel to fix issues with dynamic partitions. Backups and flashing img now doesn't break twrp and doesn't reboot anymore.
17/04/2022
Updated with latest FSTAB issues.
Will fix not being able to flash GSI to system partitions etc.
Will be online in TWRP.ME downloads soon, but below post is most recent.
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/a12/ Can be flashed from current recovery (TWRP) as IMG into recovery slot.
12/04/2022
Rebuild from A125FXXU2BVB4 firmware. Updated kernel to custom kernel. Modified FSTAB points to flash *.IMG files to dynamic partitions. Fixed FBE decryption of data partition.
04/10/2021
Updated to fix being able to install GSI in system-image partition. See below post
15/09/2021
* Fixed MTP, mount points of Dynamic_Partitions. All is working now, except Decrypting. As mentioned earlier, not important now as you can use OTG, or External_SD or MTP.
15/09/2021
* Redid whole tree, fixed partition errors. Works as system_root.
* FSTAB fixed
Still data decrypt issues, MTK is a pain... not important now, when using external_sd
20/08/2021
* Fixed FSTAB issues.
* Fixed Sideload and ADB issues
* Mounts of partitions fixed
Still to do: Decryption of DATA partition failing as soon as stock ROM is factory resetted. WIP.
09/08/2021
Initial entry; decrypt isn't working.
Is still Work in Progress.
to be updated2Did update today.
All except decrypt data... not important this stage as long as you use a external SD card.
