Thanks for the link.
Just a FYI, this makes the device SAR (system-as-root), so if anyone wants to flash GSI afterwards, use "AB" images instead of "A-only" that we've been using. I've booted PHH's Q just fine (whitelist needed, see here).

These past few days I've been trying to boot the Q GSI on this phone. I've also been keeping an eye on the Telegram GSI channel and there are many other users trying to do the same thing. I think though that you're the only one that got it boot, we're all having the same problem where it's stuck at the mi splash screen and keeps rebooting. I think it'd be really appreciated and a great help to the community if you started a thread with a guide on how to install it. Although, I suspect you're pretty busy so if you don't feel like creating a thread please consider sharing the steps you've followed and I'm pretty sure when one of us gets it to work we'll take it up.

Thanks.

I'd love to, but unfortunately I actually hit the same problem as you described on all subsequent boots, i.e. I only managed to get it properly booting once. Very disappointing isn't it...
I also had my 8SE sold just a few days ago, so I couldn't do any further tests on it either.
Sorry if what I said gave you false hopes... I wish y'all could get it to boot eventually. After all, Pie GSIs run quite nicely on the device.

Okay, good to know then, no worries :)
If you could just tell me this, the one time it booted where you using this China version as base or the xiaomi.eu beta?
