I have a10s with no custom recovery but a rooted kernel. Would it be possible to flash gsi via download mode?
I did it once on my device. Check out this thread

Yes. Use fastboot.I have a10s with no custom recovery but a rooted kernel. Would it be possible to flash gsi via download mode?
Samsungs dont have fastboot sadly.Yes. Use fastboot.
Here is what to do.
You may find these files. If the file I typed not in your gsi zip file... Skip it.
Ok so download a program called minimum adv and fastboot. And install it. It's about 5mb ig. Then open it.switch your galaxy a10s to fastboot mode [bootloader] [download mode] they are the same.
To do this switch the a10s off. Then hold both volume up and down buttons. Then keep holding them and connect USB. From PC to mobile. Keep holding both volume buttons untill it prompts you to go to download mode. You gotta unlock bootloader but I guess you already unlocked it so go to download mode and follow these instructions.

Do this command in adv thing in PC
fastboot flash system LOCATION://OF/YOUR/SYSTEM.IMG
you may find vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta LOCATION://OF/YOUR/VBMETA.IMG
both of these guys are in the gsi zip coming form google.
Good luck
Aw that's why ;c I thought download mode could be useful
Nah its mostly useless
