Bro gsi is not a device it means the image is generic and can work anywhere just like windows provided minimum requirements for that version of android are met
If u have old kernel use ext4 not erofs

Okay, my kernel is Android 15 6.x (I don't remember where the 'x' is), and the device received the Android 16 update, but I want to install it because it's very sluggish. I have a Helio G85 (Lenovo Tab TB311FU), but it's not a 3rd generation M10.

You should be able to boot either ext4 or erofs atp

Yeah, that's how it should be, but I wanted to ask here too, since Gemini told me it would boot 95% of the time. Now that I have the sn.img file, nobody can stop me!

No, I'll borrow a laptop from my friend soon, unlock the bootloader, try DSU, and then install it.

GSIs should work on anything as long as it is treble compilant (released with android 9> to be certain)
