How to Install Android 12 GSI ROM on Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (X00T/X00TD)

Hi, hope you all healthy as always, Android 12 Beta 5 was previously launched in September 8 at 2021. And also the GSI Android 12 in the same time, but can we install Android 12 on Asus Max Pro M1 ? Officially is not, because Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 only got Android 10 update as they latest OS, and if you try with unofficial method the answer is yes! with custom ROM  we can update our OS to the latest version especially with GSI ROM.

So, what the GSI ROM ? is the Generic System Image that runnable on variety of android devices with Android 8 or Android 9 shipped in the first phone release ( i mean when the phone is launched they use Android 8 or 9 as their first OS), and also GSI is a pure android implementation, so you can't find feature that included on any other custom rom like corvus, havoc, and other like that.

And now we trying to install Android 12 on Asus Zenforne Max Pro M1 X00T/X00TD, and i will mentioning below what we need to install android 12:

1. Unlocked Bootloader.
2. Custom Recovery Installed (i use Orange Fox 11_02 so just use same as me)
3. You must on  ROM which have Treble compatible. 
4. Backup your important data to another storage.
5. Install  063 Firmware Only.
6. Download Android 12 GSI ROM for X00T

That's what you need, if you don't have any what i said you must installing it first! Now we can jump to the main article, installing Android 12 on Asus Max Pro M1 :
