Battery last a lot better than stock firmware imo, using LineageOS 18.1 atm.

Hi, can you share how to get this version of LineageOS 18.1 , I tried to follow your advise to flash GSI rom as per treble app, but the app says to use "system-arm32_binder64-ab.img.xz" , I don't want any 32bit rom though, I really would like a 64bit OS on this. Thanks.

Edit: Did my own little research and this is not possible, from what I understood is that arm64 gsi will require different instruction sets that are not included in a64 gsi, or for that matter a chip with 32 bit bind with 64 bit wrapper, you would have to change the instruction set of your chip to include 64 bit instructions and if this is possible then why bother making any chips, I came across something saying the chip instruction set is set in the factory. So this is a dead end. If I'm wrong please correct me.

Olá, você pode compartilhar como obter esta versão do LineageOS 18.1, eu tentei seguir seu conselho para flash GSI rom de acordo com o aplicativo triplo, mas o aplicativo diz para usar "system-arm32_binder64-ab.img.xz", eu não t quero qualquer 32 bits rom, porém, eu realmente gostaria de um sistema operacional de 64 bits neste. Obriga how to get the custom r flash on this device could you explain?

 

[kalkay29]

Hi, so from what I have gathered so far, any GSI image can be used, I tried to flash a 64bit GSI on this but it caused a bootloop, so you do have to use what treble says, you can have a look at this here for some GSI images I came across, good luck. @Edysilva

 

[Edysilva]

Olá, pelo que reuni até agora, qualquer imagem GSI pode ser usada. Tentei fazer um flash em um GSI de 64 bits, mas causou um loop de inicialização, então você tem que usar o que o treble diz, você pode dar uma olhada nisso aqui para algumas imagens GSI que encontrei, boa sorte.

Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

olá como você conseguiu

Translated by GT: hello how did you get it

 

[wrd069]

I can't set screenlock after installing twrp & root my phone

 

[Sean_Zollverein]

I know already ask that but I cant enter TWRP, instead show me Android Revocory. I made something mistake? Just like timing for combo or something else. The previous steps (flash with odin the two files in AP) already made but cant show me the TWRP screen.

Edit: Well I fixed uncheck autoreboot from odin in options

 

[Sean_Zollverein]

Yes


Using the TWRP in this OP, I realized apart from system partition, there's a vendor, product, odm, so in this case vbmeta must be forced disabled, in order to get TWRP working, just uncheck auto-reboot from Odin and flash vbmeta, reboot download mode again and flash TWRP, flash multidisabler zip, then install any GSI image, use treble info to check the imaged required for this device before flashing any file, backup with TWRP are well broken so download the stock ROM if any case everything goes wrong, don't update binary if there's one more recent, I'm using U2 bootloader.

As I've replied above to Koko7777, he should use a specific build for this device which you can pretty easily see in the quotes made by me by replies, in any case I tell you here you must use a ARM-A64-bvs image to successfully install any GSI Roms, but without touching super partition in TWRP, just system, select install> install IMG> select your GSI ROM, since there's no TWRP with resize option, you must use a systemless workaround for gapps and this is how magisk steps into, install magisk zip using TWRP and then update the magisk, then after download the MagicGapps, these gapps are hosted Sourceforge and then install them as a module in magisk and not at TWRP, you should be done with this, BTW I've was struggling with it since yesterday due that there's no guides for custom roms and some wiki's for GSI explain that us with this device should use a dedicated IMG for ARM32 WITH 64BIT BINDER AND A-ONLY but they seems to be wrongly labeled so this cause I lot of trouble but once you use the treble info app then it comes more easy.

I made the steps from install a lineage os from this link https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi You say the img must be installed without touching super partition...so where need to be installed? Ask because only show me Recovery, other options and Super (System, Vendor)

Edit. Maybe I wrong but only mount system partition, So I understood If i Choose super only made changes in this

Edit. After many hours, I see a02s have dynamic table aka super so flash system isnt available anymore from TWRP, right? I read exist fastbootd but I don see clear the difference between fastbootd and fastboot

Edit. New try. I flash Dynamic Patch. it made available access to system.img inside super. Ok. I see that change in TWRP but when I flash like, a gsi rom 64x, I turn back into a bootloop with lineage os lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite Other generic GSI told me Size of image is larger than targer device (Pixel Experience)

So only works the next rom lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-treble_a64_bvS-vndklite.img
Also flash magisk and after install magiskapps via module from for google services but I dont have google services and also always pop-up failed certfied protect from google and the most important

Maybe tomorrow give a few tries more

I followed all the steps in the guide but whenever i try to boot into recovery it boots into stock recovery, I don't know what could've happened, flashing in odin was succesful, can anyone help me please?

 

[betoquin]

Hi everybody!

With this recovery, is it possible to flash a stock rom with a lower binary number?
I updated my SM-A025M via OTA on January (stock rom). Since then, wifi reception range is extremely short, less than a meter. Before update, all seemed to be working fine, so I want to roll back to the previous firmware

Thanks!

Any news on if SM-S124DL bootloader can be unlocked?

When I do "adb shell getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported" it returns 1 which to me it means oem unlock should appear. I just bought the phone on Saturday and tried all the time changing tricks and the "OEM Unlock" option won't appear. Right now I'm going to wait 7 days and see if it will appear.

I was also wondering if I would be able to flash a A025F, A025M or A025G firmware with oden and unlock that way?

Hi, i have rooted my A02s sm-a025g CSC ITV latest firmware Qualcomm cipset and i have try to install twrp but when i enter in twrp It do not work and even mouse not work help tk

 

[Moxiipc]

Hello newbie to this sorry to be a bother and ask. I know this model wasn't listed but after reading post of people getting other models not listed I thought I would inquire about my model. I am looking to see if this will work on the SM-A025U1/DS that is the Boost Mobile version of the a02s?



I appreciate your assistance in answering my question and hope to be able to root this model. I would really like to clear the bloatware out & try to install linage on as another member was able to successfully on the a02s.

if you can unlock bootloader then you can flash twrp

 

[Moxiipc]

if you can unlock bootloader then you can flash twrp

Yes I can as I have showed in the screenshot. I just wanted to make sure this method would work for my model. I have no idea if I need to download any additions or something else because of my model that's why I was asking.
