Hi, @inthedthank you for your reply, it says that vbmeta partition is not accesible through adb when i try to flash it (failed) any workaround with that?

Hi I am kind of noobish to GSIs but I got the google built android 13 GSI working on my s23 last night, couldn't get pixel experience to boot. CrDroid would boot but I was getting a lot of random trips to the bootscreen during set-up.

Haven't tried android 14 yet, but the procedure was pretty simple for android 13 GSI. I had already unlocked bootloader/rooted my s23 before attempting this, which included flashing vbmeta_disabled



Downloaded official google android 13 GSI

Install TWRP with Odin
Reboot to recovery and wiped data
Reboot then into fastboot inside of TWRP
flashing gsi using fastboot: fastboot flash system system image
restarted went through set-up and downloaded Magisk and Pixelfy magisk mod and I am pretty content


If anyone knows how to get another GSI like Pixel Experience or CrDroid to work reliably I am super interested
