how did you select the rom you flashed?
did you factory reset after flashing the rom?
(06-11-2020, 07:44 PM)Freescoot i cant flash it via twrp since there is no option to flash gsi as system. I tried two methods wiping everything except vendor and flashing system via fastboot then flashing disable force encryption. Then i just flashed system over stockrom, factory reset and installed disable force encryption. It displays logo but bootloops

leave out flashing anything else other than flashing the gsi rom and magisk patched boot then factory reset using stock recovery
if you still get a bootloop then you must look for and try a different rom
(08-11-2020, 11:59 AM)Freescoot I tried Multiple GSIs and did what you said and its still stuck on the boot animation (here are gsis i tried: PixelExperience by ExpressLuke, Android GO and normal by Phhuson and even ressurection remix GSI)

and you tried including a-only and a/b roms?
(09-11-2020, 03:42 PM)Freescoot Only A ONLY because this isnt A/B device

you should retry the roms you have while having stock boot instead of magisk patched boot ie stock boot & recovery then factory reset after flashing the rom
if this doesn't work then i guess your search for a working rom continues
