System boots fine, but feels incomplete (root, Google Play Services, recovery)

OE1FEU-DF5JT commented 5 months ago

I have a Huawei Mediapad M5 and use phh-treble Android 10 and now wanted to get 14 up and running. Installation went fine, system boots up and all my user data was still there. Nice!

I encountered some problems:

Google Play Services keeps stopping, clearing cache makes no difference, clearing storage just gives me a blank screen. There is no Google Playstore installed. My google accounts are present, but an app like Gdrive doesn't even open.
Obviously this GSI-ROM ist rooted, because I can adb shell and get # as prompt when I type 'su'. However no application that needs root works e.g. AdAway or FX Explorer. I don't get prompted to grant root rights when I try to open these apps.
I failed to install TWRP recovery in order to install magisk and MindTheGapp in order to have Playstore available. None of the usual methods via fastboot works, even though there is no error message when I do sudo fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp

So the system is incomplete for my purposes and I wonder whether there is a remedy for that.

Trebledroid doesn't contain Google apps. For su, install superuser app from fdroid

Thank you, Pierre. Unfortunately Superuser cannot be installed due to an unknown error. Bummer.

Hey @OE1FEU-DF5JT, you've probably figured this out by now, but to install Pierres' superuser app you need to do so through ADB with adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block phhsu.apk
