                @linhmieu2 Could that be the issue, you have built of LineageOS21 (Android 14) and used Halium 14, however as far as I know (which is not a lot with porting) UT generally likes a stock Android ROM.

                  @linhmieu2 Did you run prepare-fake-ota.sh and system-image-from-ota.sh (see install kernel)?

                  You would the flash system.img to the system partition. Also, your deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline seems to miss systempart=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/system.

                      hello again
                      i rebuild my project with kernel android 12 base , also i add this to cmdline : systempart=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/system

                      Preparation: I created a tarball containing the system and rootfs partitions. 
                      structure of my tarball like this : 
                          tarball/
                                 ├── boot─ dtb  Image.gz  ramdisk.img.lz4
                                   (and zipped this with gz)
                      and I renamed rootfs.img to ubuntu.img because  i follow this guide https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/standalone_kernel_install.html .
                                        (mv rootfs.img ubuntu.img)
                      after do that , i run prepare fake ota.sh and system images from ota.sh with this tarball
                          and i have this :
                      [user@cachyos-x8664 images]$ ls
                      system.img  ubuntu.img
                             and i flash system + rootfs + boot new : 
                          [user@cachyos-x8664 utbuild]$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

                        @linhmieu2 are you sure you need lz4 for ramdisk compression and not gz?

                              halium-boot-ramdisk.img.lz4: LZ4 compressed data (v0.1-v0.9)

                                @linhmieu2 Before ubuntu.img is sent to userdata have you formatted it (to EXT4, being Samsung it should be EXT4)?
