You have to install an Patched boot.img, That means you have to patch boot image with a Root like Magisk or SuperSU. Try it again, it works normally if you install Root. Btw, We are currently fixing an Boot.img Patch error with using a Magisk's Boot Image Patch Script.

(Sorry for being late Envy_!)

The Early Release may not Stable for Your Device. We need more fixes for Early Release, So We need your feedbacks. The Feedbacks makes Early Release is stable for Device.

This Early Release Includes:

Team Crab Version Checker Added - It includes in System files so you are only able to disable apps, not a delete apps but it may look trash because i am new at creating apps with a kotlin from android studio lol

New Build Number Builded - New Build Number is generated from One UI Base and the build prop and updater script tweaks New Build Number into the system

Security Level Upgraded - the Security Level is Upgraded from SU2 to SUC (SU13) but its only the build prop tweaks and it is uneffective to flash roms you can still flash the Android 9.

Boot Image Patched - Now, you don't need to root, Because the Boot image was patched with Magisk! Boot Image is modded with Magisk and meaning the boot image includes magisk manager.

Sorry for being late update, We're currently working on new pc. Because, We moved from the Old PC and while moving my pc's hardware was not worked normally so my hard drive was got destoried. Well, we have to download it Firmware again. Please Help us!

TMI: My PC is not using Windows Anymore, My PC is Now using Rectify11 V2.5 so it may not compatible with a program that makes an Custom Firmware i use lol so it may be a late update

Problem:

We checked the software won't boot to System if you not rooted with magisk or SuperSU. We'll check how to fix to boot system without root.

Google apps are too old and YouTube not works because YouTube is old too.

Early Release Problems:

We don't know why, a build we are currently testing is not works normally it stops in setup wizards (its stock boot image, not a modded. we are thinking to stop a project now.. its impossible to fix it because its a system's problem.)

work on A530F?
