[Solved] GSI Installation — Finally booted!!!

[Shas45558]

So what i did:
Tried to flash dm-verity zip under the recovery but i got a boot loop so i flashed back the original boot.img from the 11.0.7 global rom via fastboot.
After this i tried to boot into fastbootd but i couldn't because of the recovery (idk why). So i flashed back the original recovery.
So i booted into fastbootd, flashed this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...velopment/aosp-10-0-quack-phh-treble-t3992559 (the arm64-ab-gapps one)
Erased userdata and cache and boom it works.
I tried mobile data, bluetooth, speakers, wifi, camera and everything worked for me. The camera app isn't the best in the rom so i downloaded open camera from playstore.

I also successfully boot into GSI based on android 11...
But how we go back miui??:confused

Give us screenshots of the About Phone screen in Android 11 for proof of booting the GSI. Anyone who claims to have booted MUST show screenshots to avoid misleading people and the reason why I opened this thread as a question and not as guide. This device is easy to brick so people need to be careful. Your installation method is pretty much what I shared in my posts. So we don't want claims. Anyone who has booted should show screenshots. We need evidence

Sorry to say I have no screenshot and go back in MI ROM....

https://developer.android.com/topic/generic-system-image/releases

I download arm64+GMs from this link above....

The rom have some bug...
You cannot control brightness and cannot receive any call... Otherwise this rom work great.....

i use fastbootd method to flash it.....
When you download it.....u get 2 file system.img and vbmeta.img....

Do not use vbmeta.img.....
When you want to back you have to do what I did...

I am run on miui 11.0.4.0(redmi 9 prime rom)....
So I download this version on fastboot rom and extract it and get super.img file...
Now go to fastboot mood (not fastbootd)....
Use this CMD....
fastboot flash super super.img...
Wait and erase usuredata and u are now miui rom

You can boot gsi without distroy your current os...

Read this and follow the cmd

Remember ......
Run all cmd on a Linux based os....
Window cannot handle it....
I add a zip of picture as prove...

Thanks all of you guys for your responses and ideas that enabled us to boot GSIs on the Redmi 9 which in my opinion is even harder to work with compared to another MTK phone, the Redmi Note 8 Pro (curtana) due to having dynamic partitions. See the guide at the link below...

Is it safe to flash partitions from platform-tools in a Mediatek device without MiFlash Tool or SP Flash tool?
That is can I flash partitions in Linux by using this guide https://gist.github.com/j-jith/0c4950e8020d9bed0c3104608b07a49d ?

Thanks

[Zulxzul]

Does it means it is almost impossible to have custom rom for Redmi 9.
