@walidham
I'm using stock Android (8) as a base and installed everything according to the documentation and your post.

The device is popping up in the device list but the name is "Failed to boot". I guess the image was made for Android 9.. so wrong base? Which should I use?

[walidham]

@jiho thanks
Did you installed vendor.img?
There is twrp install file which more simple and it install all needed files

@walidham Thanks for the TWRP file, very easy to apply. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I installed it but even then I'm getting "Failed to boot".

[walidham]

@jiho can you reboot to recovery twrp,

Then :

adb shell
ls /data

verif if android-rootfs.img & rootfs.img exists

Also can you give me the log under
/data/system-user/var/log

Also you must format data partition before install to remove any encryption

[jiho]

@walidham Sorry, it worked now seems like I did not format data.

Let me know what I need to test for you. It was a phone lying around so I'd like to help.

[walidham]

@jiho nice
the audio call not work, also fingerprint.
I'm working now to fix this issues
