Hi all, I would love to install iode on my XCover Pro!
I have tried to adb sideload the gsi/iode-5.5-20241010-arm64_ab.img.xz · master · ota / release · GitLab without success. I also have tried changing the extension to .zip as well. I somewhat of a noob so would appreciate and help or advice.
Thanks
M
You cannot flash the compressed .xz file.
You have to uncompress it first to .img
That is what I was going to try next. Thanks so much!
I’ll report back as to my success (fingers crossed)
In this guide, we will show you two different methods to install the Android 13 (14) GSI ROMs onto your Samsung device. Things have always been different and a tad complicated in the custom development of Samsung devices. For starters, the entire flashing procedure is totally different when compared with other OEMs in the market.
Download Mode instead of Fastboot Mode, flashing via Odin instead of Fastboot Commands, patching AP instead of boot.img for root, Knox getting permanently tripped with no way out as opposed to SafetyNet, and the list goes on. Likewise, when it comes to flashing ROMs, then the landscape is somewhat different there as well.
Helps you to check Project Treble, A/B and the GSI architecture
