Looking to try installing a GSI to a device without any third-party ROMs ported to it yet. Want to back up the stock ROM in case something goes wrong. Manufacturer doesn’t offer the stock ROM for download and the only copy online is from a website that looks pretty shady. Can unlock the bootloader, but no reports of anyone rooting or installing a custom recovery environment for it. Every tutorial says to just look for a ROM on the internet, but how do people extract them in the first place?

Unless it’s a privacy issue for you, it would be easier –IMO– to find help if you’ll share the exact model you have, and the custom ROM you’re using.

Honor 90 Lite (CRT-NX1), attempting to get LeOS GSI on it or at least some flavor of AOSP GSI.
