Supposed to wipe /data and /cache with stock recovery after flashing GSI with fastboot.

Openkirin site says do not flash with twrp. (It may work, but could give trouble, and no support when not following guide.)

That being said. If you boot to fastboot mode and flash stock Oreo recovery, followed by factory reset, should be ok.


Wait, just had something.

You selected to flash to system or to system image?

Some recovery versions show both.
