    Last I checked, TWRP couldn’t flash logical partitions that make up where the GSI is patched, but it was requested, maybe something changed? Idk, the guy who created the guide on how to flash GSI on my device’s XDA forum mentioned this issue a while ago and recommended flashing through ADB.

    Actually, I think the issue is that when I flashed my device, TWRP couldn’t unencrypt or something, it’s been a while and I know I should start the process from scratch

      I’ve never had to flash GSI images myself, thankfully, but I do regularly use the image flashing option to reinstall Magisk after a ROM update. Those images work fine for me.

      Ah, encryption and TWRP is always something. It usually works, but sometimes it doesn’t, and there’s no fix when it breaks. Broken TWRP decryption has causedme a factory reset or two but with OrangeFox the decryption stuff all seems to work flawlessly.
