Be patient. We all have real lives to lead before looking here.

@turanmahmudov try to start container in foreground and see for errors. The lxc-start command has a flag for that

[turanmahmudov]

@flohack this?
# lxc-start -n android -F

GUI loads. The device is very very slow.
No WiFi, No Bluetooth, No SIM, No GPS, No Sound

[Lakotaubp]

I thought the GSI was no longer supported or us this something else?

[turanmahmudov]

@lakotaubp yes, GSI didn't work for me. I built halium-boot.img and system.img
The device boots into Lomiri UI, apps work.
All the other stuff doesn't work. I will start from scratch.

I have Xiaomi Mi A2 and a car Citroen C4. I have paired the phone but only hear the calls in it, not in the car. I can't listen the phone's music in the car. If you can do it in A1, it would be the solution for A2.

[rapto]

I tried to follow the instructions. Now it says "the system has been destroyed". ¿Any chance of recovery?

[rapto]

@rapto Never mind. Started from 'flash stock rom' and retrying...

[rapto]

@rapto Nope. System destroyed again. There must be something I am not doing right.

[almas]

@turanmahmudov Thank you for sharing :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes: :heart_suit: . Is it your last build?

[almas]

@turanmahmudov I just finished flash and can not boot. It's with a white screen with three color bar and mi logo. How can I boot or ssh to my phone? Please help me.

@turanmahmudov

Finally, it's worked. I'm on the Ubuntu language selection menu.
Fixed with below:
Entered to bootloader with volume down button and booted to recovery with a fastboot (fastboot boot twrp_recovery.img).
But recovery asking password for decrypt data. Clicked cancel and wiped factory reset slide and formatted with "yes". Then restarted and phone is booted up. Thank you very much.
