I need WIFI calling enabled and non of the unlocked phones they sell at Best Buy or Amazon come with the feature activated. It is literally not listed in the settings I am looking at installing a custom ROM with WIFI calling activated like it is on my old Samsung A50. I honestly don't know the first thing about the root program that android runs on so I am looking for someone that has patience that can help a noob.
I have watched many youtube videos on this topic but I have found nothing on my specific phone.

About GSI: You not need TWRP. But if you want backup your userdata so need install that.
All depend about your decision: I'm install GSI and test. I chose the perfect GSI for me; so I don't need the backup => you not need custom recovery so use stock recovery.
I want GSI and need backup => need TWRP.
In the true both recoveries [stock & TWRP] has the fastbootd implemented!
So you need:
1- unlock bootloader;
2- stock or specific vbmeta file;
3- know how use fastboot commands for flash GSI;
4- Every time is more security flashing Custom ROMs if you have stock ROM!
Are you ready for flash GSI??!
Even if something goes wrong and you can't "revive" the device again?
Do you have everything it takes to feel relaxed if something goes wrong or successful?!!
I can put the instructions myself. But I will never be responsible for your actions and choices.

I also have the Blu G90 Pro and trying to get root , could you please give me detailed instructions on using magisk or how to flash with trwp, i have flashed trwp through fastboot but cant decrypt data and when you restart device it reverts back to stock recovery.
also cant find stock firmware for this version BLU_G0370WW_V10.0.04.03_GENERIC to use magisk to patch boot.img

Go to stock recovery and make WIPE data/factory reset & WIPE cache partitions.
About updated ROM version: You can remove/copy all partitions from last version any time. So boot.img or recovery.img can have with SPFT Read Back process with scatter file from v10.0.03.03 stock ROM.
ROOT: Simple. Use custom recovery and flashing magisk-zip

Unfortunately in the compiling TWRP time I haven't MicroSD to testing.
But now I know about and need fix so easy. The fix is not easy because my time and the issues about different adress/partition of MicroSD in G90 Pro. So I needed more knowledge and informations to fix that and need only write correct adress/partition. That's is to mount/start MicroSD automatically in the TWRP. But....
I not remember now because I not using MicroSD or OTG in the TWRP or ROMs. But maybe worked with the option in the TWRP - Wipe - FORMAT DATA; Reboot - Recovery. Test!
I have PBRP (other awesome Custom Recovery) if you want test too.

It's a shame you didn't try to remove the boot.img file from version 10.0.04.03 because it would be interesting to know the kernel changes. But as far as I know it was a security update and the fix for call volume I think.
I not using Xposed a very time ago. Sorry. You need search/ask in the Xposed forun.

I decided to write the commands for those who have TWRP or stock recovery. Both will work as it has the fastbootD option.
First, select the GSI for your architecture. On BLU G90 Pro, it is arm64 ab. Usually we must unzip to have the img file.
Copy the GSI.img file and the modified vbmeta.img file in the ADB folder - tools platform with which you unlocked the bootloader. Remember the need for the most current version of ADB! platform-tools#downloads
For some users it is necessary to write warnings:
Stop now if you do not know what you are doing or have no experience in reviving your device!!!
You must have backup of your NVDATA, NVRAM, NVCFG, PERSIST, files made from your device.
The device must have the bootloader unlocked!
You need know the difference about fastboot and FASTBOOTD in your device!!
Your device has bootloader mode: recovery - fastboot - reboot (system) Stock recovery has very options:
reboot system - reboot to bootloader - wipe - Enter fastboot - ...
reboot to bootloader => normal fastboot
Enter fastboot => FASTBOOTD
FASTBOOTD => some options
Your device MUST be at the fastbootD menu now. If not, you will not be able to flash the GSI successfully. Again, you can using TWRP or stock recovery.
fastboot normal to fastbootD
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Erase a flash partition
Code:
fastboot erase system
or
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition system
deletes the product partition, allowing a larger system partition
Code:
fastboot delete-logical-partition product
I not need resize-logical-partition product. But if you want:
You will need a larger system partition to flash a GSI. There are 2 ways to achieve this
A. fastboot resize-logical-partition product 509344768
B. fastboot resize-logical-partition system 3089272064 or 3889272064
resizes product and system partitions. This gives you about 3GB of system partitions. You can adjust or arrive at your own numbers if you want different sizes.
Flashing GSI files: Sets disable-verity when flashing & Sets disable-verification when flashing the file img in the system partition.
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system GSI.img
GSI.img is the file of any zip file that have any name by developers/Custom ROM.
For confirm great & fast start GSI
Code:
fastboot -w
For confirm and boot clean go to normal fastboot
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
Reboot to system
Code:
fastboot reboot
Wait the time 5~15 minutes to start.
Enjoy
Note: Since the Team Win code maintainers; still haven't found a way for TWRP to modify (write/copy/delete) any file in the logical partitions (System - Vendor - Product - odm) as Super partition; TWRP cannot install the img file on the system partition.
If you want to make changes you can try this: [SCRIPT][Android 10+] Universal Mount System read write R/W
In the GSI files you can modify files in the Super partition.

Flawless instructions , thank you so much! TRWP & Root!
i had to flash Stock ROM G90 Pro BLU_G0370WW_V10.0.03.03
then follow your instructions .
Because firmware BLU_G0370WW_V10.0.04.03_GENERIC the WIIFI and Bluetooth did not function when using older version boot.img .
Hello, I've followed those steps and got into TWRP temporarily but I'm lost a bit. On my Blu G90 Pro, there's no ramdisk option to install TWRP and I keep getting a /system_root error about not having access.
The G90 Pro not have Virtual A/B & not have ramdisk_recovery only in the boot partition so not need Ramdisk instalation mode.
The INFORMATION so NOT a error with \system_root because the Android 10 have RO mode. Two options to not have these information: I- Wipe: FORMAT DATA (yes) - Reboot Recovery II- Install RO2RW or SystemRW to get Super(system; vendor; product) in the RW mode.
Beacuse TWRP cannot mount \system_root so you look the word in red as information.
Farthest I've gotten is installing the TWRP image file to the recovery partition and rebooting to recovery through TWRP for it to go back to TWRP, only for it to ersse it and go back to stock recovery after I reboot to system.
Whenever I go into fastboot mode (with the text on the bottom left) no fastboot commands will work on my G90 Pro. Therefore I can't follow the rest of the instructions. Any possible solutions? Thanks.
3. You need know the difference about fastboot and FASTBOOTD in your device!!
Your device has bootloader mode: recovery - fastboot - reboot (system) Stock recovery has very options:
reboot system - reboot to bootloader - wipe - Enter fastboot - ...
reboot to bootloader => normal fastboot
Enter fastboot => FASTBOOTD
FASTBOOTD => some options
'fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash system GSI.img' gives me a connection error and also an error of 'writing system... FAILED 'No such file or directory exists' and this is after wiping the system partition and trying to flash a GSI.
Can someone give me a possible link to a GSI for Android 13 for the Blu G90 Pro? I've looked and all GSIs for 13 either do this or boot loop.
This is the last message I leave on xda.
If you are using adb-fastboot --platformtools after version 31, then you can enter the following commands as long as you are aware of what fastboot and fastbootd are:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_mod.img
fastboot erase product
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system GSI.img
fastboot -w
fastboot erase userdata
So all the corresponding files must be in the platform-tools folder for the installation to see the files correctly.
Example: This is the first attempt to install GSI.
I have all vbmeta_mod.img files; ProjectElixir-3.8-arm64-bgN-13.0-20230526-1530-OFFICIAL.img copied to the adb-fastboot/platform-tools folder.
When writing the commands then it will look like this:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta_mod.img
fastboot erase product
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system ProjectElixir-3.8-arm64-bgN-13.0-20230526-1530-OFFICIAL.img
fastboot -w
fastboot erase userdata
If you want try another GSI so only need:
Code:
fastboot flash system GSI.img
fastboot -w
fastboot erase userdata
If you waste your time opening messages here and really don't roll up your sleeves to test every existing GSI file you can then really nobody will do anything.
Then choose the GSI you want to test and install. Didn't like it, choose another GSI and install. Still not satisfied, choose another GSI and install.
Are there bugs? Search, look in other threads or G or forums. Well, you can try to correct something yourself and that would give you more knowledge.
Which GSI to install?
Search and choose here on xda or github for phh.
