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.
Can be flashed from current recovery (TWRP) as IMG into recovery slot.

Checking soonest. Been on it for 2 days now and still can't figure out why.

Yes able to flash zip files just fine. Installed several zips via twrp like magisk, lineage recovery etc. As there is no proper custom rom I can’t tell if that works. But making update zips, flashing kernels etc all good
This has also been happening to me, it keeps rebooting while "Calculating restore details". I got to flash lineageos 19 GSI but it took 10+ tries
Just done with compiling kernel to hold twrp recovery. Hoping it’ll fix these issues.
Reverting on Monday

Updated to fix issues with flashing *.IMG files and make backups of super partitions.
Should work now, could someone please test and let me know?

if you'd like to wipe system partition;
1th mount system
then wipe > advanced > tick system partition and repair
2th chose change fs to EXT4
then you can format / wipe / whatever

Rebuild kernel to fix issues with dynamic partitions. Backups and flashing img now doesn't break twrp and doesn't reboot anymore.
1th file: extract and flash direct in TWRP as IMG to recovery.
2th file: extract and flash in ODIN.

Hello, Thanks for the update but i tried flashing the twrp tar file with odin. Everything worked fine, odin said PASS! But when i press volume up button and power button nothing happened. Tried the 11-1 version too but its the same result.
edit: 11-0 worked but the new one doesnt work

10DISCLAIMER: 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. 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;

* 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.

Still data decrypt issues, MTK is a pain... not important now, when using external_sd
