unpack the recovery using android image kitchen tool from xdaforum
edit the fstab file ie ramdisk/etc/recovery.fstab using any text editor

If I unpack the recovery, and edit, what am I going to input there. Besides, I need to know how I can flash GSI ROMs into my device. Can I even flash Carliv twrp into my device to try whether it can help me flash the Lineage or havoc 3.1 into my device?

check where /system is located, you could try moving it to the top of the list, see if it gets listed under mount
if not then try removing some other irrelevant partitions from fstab

use fastboot or twrp > flashimg

to use twrp for flashing gsi rom then add ;flashimg=1 to the eol for /system in recovery.fstab
eol = end of line

e.g
Code:

/system        ***********            flags=backup=1;wipeingui;flashimg=1

Pls can you explain "to use twrp for flashing gsi rom then add ;flashimg=1 to the eol for /system in recovery.fstab
eol = end of line

e.g
Code:
/system *********** flags=backup=1;wipeingui;flashimg=" one after the other so as not to brick my phone.

Secondly, I don't understand the unpacking of the recovery. The recovery can be of 2 types. It can be stock recovery or twrp recovery. Which of them are you referring to? Please kindly explain the steps one after the other

when you've unpacked the recovery and opened the fstab file for editing (i believe you will understand my reply) and you still don't understand anything from my reply then you ask again. pointing out where exactly you are stuck

i was and still referring to twrp as recovery. i believe that's what you having problems with not stock recovery
have you even managed to unpack the recovery? download Android.Image.Kitchen.v3.7-Win32.zip @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr...?t=2073775
