Gigaset GS290 (k63v2_64_bsp)
Seems to work great.
Steps to install
- This has been tested coming from OEM Android 10 stock ROM firmware
- Check that you have a recent version of fastboot on your local computer:
fastboot --version
should give version >= 29 - Get
vbmeta.img
from https://dl.google.com/developers/android/qt/images/gsi/vbmeta.img only for devices that came with Android 10 from the FACTORY (I don’t need this) - Get A/B GSI (for this phone,
arm64-ab-...
— the Treble Info app can provide this information) from https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases. There are various versions. I am using the version that comes with Free and Open Source apps: system-roar-arm64-ab-floss.img.xz. There is also a version without apps and a version with Google apps. - Uncompress it with
unxz system-*.xz
- From running Android, do
adb reboot bootloader
- When the device is in the bootloader, run
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
only for devices that came with Android 10 from the FACTORY (I don’t need this). I need instead:fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash boot boot.img
(usingboot.img
from the extracted OEM stock ROM firmware zip) - Reboot the phone with
fastboot reboot fastboot
. - When dropped to a recovery menu, select “Wipe data/factory reset” and confirm
- Select “Reboot to bootloader”. It actually reboots to fastboot mode
- (Needed?)
fastboot erase system
- Flash the system partition with
fastboot flash system system-...img
fastboot reboot
- Seeing Donald Duck bootlogo
- Enjoy PHH-Treble
Notes
- To enter the recovery, power down the device. Hold the down + power keys
- To enter the recovery menu and/or fastboot: If the recovery menu does not show a menu ("No command"), press up + power keys together quickly repeatedly a couple of times (10 times or more)
