Lineage GSI for Kompakt

I had numerous unexplained SMS and MMS related issues using OSK. Switching to the Lineage 20 GSI has fixed those and I can send and receive all SMS/MMS messages completely fine.

That sounds greatā€¦ Only if I can acutally install Lineage without any issues and troubleshootings :upside_down_face:

After two days and many hours of troublshooting, I have not only didnā€™t make any progress, but successfully bricked my phone (canā€™t get it connected to mtkclient and restore the backup). Man I give up.

Iā€™m also stuck here. When you say that you solved it by trying a few times more, what did you try?

I used fastboot flash vbmeta --slot=all vbmeta.img provided by Gemini. It allowed me to proceed. HOWEVER, after I flashed the Lineage OS (lineage-20.0-20251021-UNOFFICIAL-arm64_bgN-vndklite-signed.img ), wiped data, and rebooted the phone, I am stuck in the fastboot screen (white background with a line at the bottom). No matter what I tried, I couldnā€™t boot into Lineage. Here is a chat with Gemini with all of my troubleshooting attempts, but none worked. Please let me know how it goes on Mac.

It would be fantastic if I could make this work, access to google services, and have a stable MMS.

Have you tried using the unsigned lineage gsi? This is just conjecture, I have very limited knowledge of the android boot integrity checks, but I think itā€™s possible since weā€™re not touching vbmeta_system, the gsi (system image) needs to be unsigned or it will trip an integrity check in the bootloader.

This is the specific rom I was able to get working; be advised, it is built with root privilege.

I just tried it, but it unfortunately still doesnā€™t work. I think there is something systematically and fundamentally wrong with what I am doing, which is odd because I am doing the installation on a brand new phone.

As you can see above we both have the same issue: we follow all the steps to install GSI but in the end we land at the fastboot mode prompt (instead of booting to GSI). At this stage I am suspecting that there are different versions of the hardware and the steps above do not work for the newer ones. I got the phone about 2 months ago by the way.
