If we could use all data in GSI, that would be heaven.

Tell us what to do if a bootloader is unlocked. Because I tried, but now the only I can see on my black screen is FASTBOOT. I can turn back without loosing data by pressing power+volume button, but Android 16 doesn't load on by GSI DSU method.
didnt work for my unlocked boot, Moto G 5G. Just boots up to the same old android 13 every time
