What happened when we had made uncompleted or unsupported " New Super image" and flash it with Odin ?

- During Odin process then terminate itself , didn't write super image file to the partition, flashing stop , uncompleted

- at download mode screen of your Tab A7 lite
>press power + vol down to reboot device immediatly screen shutdow to black screen changes to press and hold
>Vol up + Vol down then insert USB cable which the other side had connected with computer usb port before.

Device will go into download mode again. waitting for Odin .

"This event happened when i have tried to mod and dump Super image inside A11 hope it help for bugs fixing on A12 with CustomAP. no luck now.

Rom is pretty good! But I have a small issue that i can't install magisk, I have build custom AP from a12 AP file.
If Anyone knows a solution please help.

I have also tried custom AP from a11 AP file on which I was able to install magisk and root but USB debugging wasn't working.

CustomAP Based A11 works /but CustomAP Based A12 not works..? I mean install magisk.

No not try slim cause it Read only system.

 

[tom.android]

Using debugging from dev to enable MTP works only on A12.

CustomAP Based A11 works /but CustomAP Based A12 not works..?

No not try slim cause it Read only system.

I have Build Xdroid-13_arm64-bgN-lite-UNOFFICIAL.img one with A12 and one with A11 AP file. Both were working.

BUT Both have different issue

on A12
-Magisk broken(Warning:- you don't have enough space to install this app),
- USB debugging working

And

on A11
-Magisk working
-USB debugging Broken

That right. You are good at making CustomAP.
Cause this GSI now in a beginning state. ( not fully support Stock A12)

MTP for GSIs is works on Stock A12 ONLY.

No A13 GSI now supported our A12 Stock Tab A7 Lite.

I hope this issue gets fixed in future updates. Because This gsi has almost everything to use as a daily driver.

Hmm. Thanks for the report because both are very important for me. I was building that GSI as of this post. Canceling. Sticking with A12 VGB with CherishOS A12 for a long time until issues get fixed.

I think it's because of the partition problem, usually the Bl upgrade will reduce the free partition

If it's about partition locked / not enough spaces uses this

[MAGISK][TWRP][ARM32/64][A8+]Universal Read Only to Read Write for android (RO2RW) | Auto converting SUPER "system partitions" to read/write mode

Read Only to Read Write for android (RO2RW) Update 03.01.2023 : Stable Beta v 3.7.2.1 The first truly working script, original and unique in its logic for all devices with a SUPER partition Universal auto RO2RW | EROFS-2-RW | F2FS-2-RW by...

But I don't thinks so.

next step by step Tutorial​

>Read Only to Read Write for android (RO2RW)
( SM-T22x Based on Android 12 )

How does the script work in Magisk?
- You need to install the archive via Magisk manager as a module. The script will tell you if you need to restart the device. Next, you need to launch the terminal and give it root rights with the command "su", Then enter the command "RO2RW" and the script will run, it will prepare an image of RW-super.img according to your choice and optionally backup the original super bak-super.img. These files will occupy the internal storage, so in order to get the space back you need to move them to a PC so that the modified image can be flashed via fastboot. Or you can simply flash it via TWRP as img super if the images are for recovery. Or

*After you got new super.img then you can uses CustomAP Making to flash with odin.

" Tested but not works"
