Prerequisites

Notes

Warning

All your data will be erased! Back up now if needed.

DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE if you think you made a mistake, ask for help in the Telegram chat.

Important

This guide assumes you have already unlocked your bootloader and are already rooted, if this is not the case, you'll still need a PC to do that.

Flash the modified TWRP

  • Download Magisk.apk on your phone and rename it to Magisk.zip. This is necessary because flashing TWRP will remove your root.
  • If you are not using LineageOS 20, copy it to your SD card. TWRP cannot decrypt the internal storage of other ROMs.
  • In Magisk, select the modded-twrp-g8s-installer.zip and flash it.
  • Return to the main menu, press the rotating arrow icon in the top right, and press Reboot Recovery.

Rerooting your device

  • Once booted into TWRP, select Install and locate Magisk.zip and flash it.
  • Reboot to Android, open the Magisk app, and follow the steps on the screen to complete the root process.

Reboot into TWRP

  • Return to the Magisk main menu, press the rotating arrow icon in the top right, and press Reboot Recovery.

Opening TWRP terminal

  • Once booted into TWRP press the Advanced button on the bottom right of the screen, then press Terminal.
  • Run all future commands in this terminal

Unmount data

Ignore any possible errors and continue

umount /dev/block/by-name/userdata

Preparing for partitioning

Note

If at any time parted asks you if you want to continue, or if you want to cancel something, type yes or ignore.

parted /dev/block/sda

Printing the current partition table

Parted will print the list of partitions, userdata should be the last partition in the list.

print

Removing userdata

Replace $ with the number of the userdata partition, which should be 30

If you have a grow partition, remove it as well

rm $

Recreating userdata

Replace 17.7GB with the former start value of userdata which we just deleted

Replace 64GB with the end value you want userdata to have. In this example your available usable space in Android will be 64GB-17.7GB = 47GB

mkpart userdata ext4 17.7GB 64GB

Creating ESP partition

Replace 64GB with the end value of userdata

Replace 64.35GB with the value you used before, adding 0.35GB to it

mkpart esp fat32 64GB 64.35GB

Creating Windows partition

Replace 64.35GB with the end value of esp

mkpart win ntfs 64.35GB 126GB

Making ESP bootable

Use print to see all partitions. Replace "$" with your ESP partition number, which should be 31

set $ esp on

Exit parted

quit

Formatting data and rebooting

  • Format all data in TWRP, or Android will not boot.
  • ( Go to Wipe > Format data > type yes ).
  • Press the reboot button to reboot into Android.

Note

If Android does not start after +- 10 minutes, reboot back into stock recovery and perform a factory reset there.

Preparing necessary files

  • Download the Windows image and make sure it remains in the Download folder of your internal storage (if you are using LineageOS 20), else, put it in the Download folder in your SD card.
  • Download WinInstaller.zip and keep it in the Download folder as well.
  • Download and install the WOA Helper app, then open it and grant it root access. Do not do anything else inside the app yet.

Booting into TWRP

  • Press the Reboot to Recovery button in the top right of Magisk again.
  • Once booted into TWRP, enter your password if it asks you to.

Flashing WinInstaller

  • In TWRP, select Install and then locate WinInstaller.zip and flash it.
  • Once you're given the option to reboot, do so.

Note

Wait untill all processes complete and your device boots into Windows. This will take around 15-20 minutes.

Tip

If you wish to skip the Microsoft Account login, press the I don't have internet button in the WiFi page, then when prompted, press the Continue with limited setup button.

Booting to Android

  • Run the Android shortcut on your desktop (you can also pin it to your start menu / taskbar for ease of access).

Booting to Windows

If it says "UEFI NOT FOUND", copy the UEFI image from your SD card into the UEFI folder of your internal storage

  • Press QUICKBOOT TO WINDOWS inside the WOA Helper app, or use the newly created toggle in your quick settings panel.

Finished!
