No cell/mobile network after flashing crDroid GSI on a clean stock ROM MIUI (Xiaomi/POCO ROMs)

[pokemaster974]

Device : POCO M5s (rosemary_p), mt6785 crDroid GSI version : crDroid-10.1 v2024.01.22

Hi, starting from a very new clean stock MIUI ROM ROSEMARYPEEAGlobal_V13.0.6.0.SFFEUXM (using flashall.bat), I can : enter my PIN code, receive calls & SMS, connect to data mobile (2G/3G/4G)

I go to fastboot (power + volume up) and do these commands :

fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img (which came from my stock ROM fastboot .tgz archive)
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system crDroid-10.1-arm64_bgN-Unofficial.img
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot recovery
-> Wipe All Data (not sure was necessary as I do fastboot -w)

I don't do more than these 6 commands (no GApps, no root or anything else than just flashing ROM) and restart directly.

I can't success to make the network working. Tried also with last crDroid 13 but I got the same issue. Code PIN is asked at the boot, so I type the code but can't have cell network.

I success to have the network with Lineage OS 20.

I've also tried from the last stock MIUI ROM (ROSEMARYPEEAGlobal_V14.0.3.0.TFFEUXM) with just adding the command fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a because of the partition size issue. But I can't still have the cell network.

I don't know if my flashing steps are good or what I'm doing wrong.

I had nearly the same issue with my device "Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo)" I had to set to factory defaults and installed using clean flash of crDroidAndroid-14.0-... Everything worked fine after boot, except:

• WiFi, WiFi Tethering went off after some seconds, Bluetooth could not be activated

My solutions consisted of:

• install in recovery latest ginkgo device firmware (https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/ginkgo/)
  • have a look for your device
• replace the recovery by OrangeFox-R12.1-Stable.zip (https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-12-13-14-unofficial-orangefox-recovery-redmi-note-8-8t.4648116/)
  • OrangeFox displayed something like partition settings performed

After reboot WiFi and Bluetooth were available immediately.
