[GUIDE] Install GSI on Xiaomi Mi 10

[Basecatcherz]

This is how it works for me.
If someone knows a better way let me know.

What you need

• Xiaomi Mi 10 (UMI) with unlocked bootloader and latest Xiaomi.eu ROM installed
• A/B GSI
• PC with ADB & Fastboot installed
• USB Cable
• Mi 10 stock recovery installed or img for installation
• TWRP.img for Mi 10 (If you want to install anything else like Magisk or something)

Boot to fastboot
(Skip this part if you're using stock recovery)

1. Power off your phone
2. Hold Volume down + Power until you see fastboot screen
3. Flash stock recovery found in latest firmware
   

   fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Boot to recovery

1. Power off your phone
2. Hold Volume up + Power until you see recovery screen
3. Wipe data
4. Select option Connect with MiAssistant
5. Reboot into fastbootd (Fastboot User Space)
   

   adb reboot fastboot

6. Erase system partition
   

   fastboot erase system

7. Flash your GSI
   

   fastboot flash system system.img

If you're done here and doesn't want to install anything else

1. Just reboot and enjoy!
   

   fastboot reboot

If you want to install anything else

1. Reboot to fastboot
   

   fastboot reboot bootloader

2. Boot TWRP
   

   fastboot boot TWRP.img

3. Use MTP to transfer your zip files to internal storage
4. Install them
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy!

Working Images (Need to be A/B)

• Quack Phh-Treble
• AOSP Q Mod //CAOS
• Maybe any image with phhusson treble_experimentations included
  At this time (Patch v222) there are some issues (Nothing compared to MIUI's bugs )
  • Audio issues (Most of them can be fixed by disabling audio effetcs in phh's Settings)
  • BT audio doesn't work
  • Fingerprint doesn't work
  • 90 Hz Display doesn't work (Limited to 60 Hz)
• Tell me if you found any other working GSI (Please provide forum link)

Is it same guide for Mi 10 Pro?

I think it'll be the same. As long as you can go to fastbootd with this guide it should be fine.

I can confirm that this tutorial works for cmi too. Phhs treble is running but same bugs. Andy yans lineage didn't work If you want this tutorial could be copied to mi 10 pro forums too since there is no roms for it

There is something weird here...
I tried some other GSI and ended up soft bricked. Flashed latest stock (boots up) and then flashed CAOS GSI again.
It goes to boot splash and restarts all the time.

Are you on xiaomi.eu?

I flashed latest stable xiaomi.eu (was on weekly) and then flashed phhs treble. Can't flash over weekly android 11. Didn't try caos

Alright. I flashed latest stable xiaomi.eu ROM and now CAOS boots up. Looks like they made some relevant changes.

And btw you don't need stock recovery. I have twrp which have userspace fastboot aka fastbootd so I can leave it installed

I tried that, too (LR Team). But Windows was unable to find the right driver and I was unable to use it. Even on Ubuntu it wasn't working.

The non-rooted variant with magisk, yes.

I used Windows originally, you'll have to manually install the Xiaomi drivers from Xiaomi cn website through computer mangement, on this link: https://www.xiaomi.cn/post/18464849. Since these are not signed, you will have to disable signature enforcement on Windows 10! Here is an article on doing that, method 1 works: https://windowsloop.com/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-on-windows/.

Or you can try Mi Flash Tool and look for the install driver option, I haven't tried that method. Let us know how it goes .

I will try that. Maybe tomorrow
Unsigned drivers are not the way I like...

I have MIUI 11 Xiaomi.eu Android 10 stable, can I flash this ROM and Gapps, and maybe some progress to remove in existing issues?
