[GUIDE] GSI for US V40

[lolwatpear]

This only works for gsi 9?

On step 9, I get a failed error on resize. The error is:

/sbin/e2fsck -fp /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/
system_b process ended with ERROR: 1
Unable to repair system

Anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: I tried to install gapps after this, but it failed because of insufficient space. Went to check the /system partition size, and it only has 65MB free out of 1637MB. Is there a way to restore the original partition size and start from scratch?

hmmm.....interesting are you running the latest TWRP?

For the vendor img....and did you flash GSI's or custom ROMs specifically made for your device?

Some stock vendor img partitions work for GSI...but not all, it just so happens that LOS 16 and 17 replace the vendor partition and work for most GSI's.

I was looking at GSI ROMS lots of info for on installing them but not much on updating them. So if you would please explain this, too please.

Descendant X works. I've been using it a few days but I'm also having more data issues than usual. It could be the APN or something and also some notifications don't work sometimes for some odd reason.

Are you using Magisk? Seems there were some problems with Magisk being flashed on that particular rom...no idea if that has been fixed tho...

just wanted to ask if the quad dac still works using GSI ROMs, I use the v40 as a audio only device and I love the HIM forced on. Have been on the fence about using GSI ROMs.

No, the forcing of him only works on our specific LOS17.1 Havoc OS 3.1 and Pixel Experience 10...it's a specific thing that was built into our version of those ROMs...the GSI'S don't have them.

Gotcha, also I only see LOS 17 on the ROMs section. Where could I find havoc os 3.1

It doesn't work anymore...

I have tried this multiple times, with both LOS 16 and 17 as the base rom, but it doesn't seem to boot a GSI image anymore. Is there an updated tutorial for this that works on later versions of android?

Or could there be a vendor/bass (get it) image that has been made for the v20?

I personally no longer have a working V40 I am using a Loner S10 until I can get a V40 once more...

Well, you can get one on ebay for $150-$200. Not that expensive at all. Go for verizon or the unlocked though. From what I've read, those two are the best

Mine I got for $150 because a corner of the back glass was cracked. I put an otterbox on it, no problem.
