Steps to install

Refer to XDA Thread https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/

Some info

  • This device has a pre-installed Google Android 9 as Factory Version from Qiku [OEM]
  • In order to root, you may have to manually install magisk manager then patch the stock boot image of your device and then, flash it through your PC. You can use the ADB (Android Debug Bridge)(Required Unlock Bootloader) Method or the SPFT (SP Flash Tool) Method.
  • ROMs that didn't work are MIUI 10 or 11, Oxygen OS, One UI, and Siberia OS. (What do you expect? Those are heavily-modified ROMs only for Manufacturers :P)

  • Visit the XDA Thread for more Infos regarding on how to unlock the bootloader, rooting the device, etc.
  • Visit this XDA Thread for a list of TWRP builds compiled by different developers.

Note

  • Starting in the Security Patch (2020-03-05), many GSI images are having trouble booting up because of its OEM restricting GSI images to fully write in the system partition. The solution is to downgrade to Security Patch (2019-12-05) by flashing its firmware using SP Flash Tool. Always Un-tick Preloader LK1 and LK2 for the new batch of Flare S8 in October 2019
  • There's also a problem where the screen goes black (No Display Issue), it is because of the LCD Drivers are being mismatched in the new batch.
  • VoLTE (Voice-over-LTE) is working on Stock ROM.
