OK, last 3 days I have tried to flash eGSI on my new Mi Max 3 nitrogen. And … it’s running. I think I found some point which you can also try.

  1. Treble Info has shown that I do have an arm64 a/b device. But I have to flash the a_only GSI !!!

  2. And after flashing the GSI I have to change to vbmeta.img. You will find the image here
    thanks to Phh for this tip and command

  3. Download e-pie-20200416-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_aeN.img.zip

  4. extract this zip. It will generate a 2GB img file

  5. download vbmeta.img

  6. boot your device in recovery and FORMAT data

  7. boot your device in fastboot mode (bootloader)

  8. run theses commands in terminal
    a) fastboot erase system
    b) fastboot flash system e-pie-20200416-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_aeN.img
    c) fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    d) fastboot reboot

and now your system show boot into eOS … i hope

my terminal log you will find here for comparing.

Good luck

Wow! That sounds promising. I’m downloading now, thanks!

Boots to a black screen again for me :frowning:

I can’t boot into the installed recovery too, I have to fastboot boot twrp.img then flash twrp again to gain recovery

108

but you have had it’s once booted in bouncing E, or not ? Try that version again, but with vbmeta flashing behind.

109

GSI’s have never booted for me. Just black screen after the device reboots.

Following your steps above using the 04-16 a only build with the vbmeta.img produce the same results :frowning:

ok, now I’m really at the end :frowning:

Thanks for trying @harvey186

I’m hoping the device will go official with 17.1 and hopefully make building a bit easier
