Thanks for replying but I figured the problem , the new aex build ships with a new kernel 4.4 which requires a new bootloader so you need to flash a newer zui through qfil and then flash the November build of aex 6.0 to avoid blue screen .
And about the restore problem : my backup was corrupted so it wasn't restoring correctly and hence not booting so I redownloaded the latest arrow os pie build and voila it booted .

Any success with recovery so far? I'll test in a few hours and report back
Installed the latest version via updater app few hours agi. So far everything is fine, no noticable differences.
Can I flash this over LineageOS? Or I need to revert back to MIUI 6.11.10 and then this one through updater?
And, is it nougat based?

Well, maybe days later, just configured other rom.
After OTA update to 7.1.19 , 4K video is, flickering , i tried all 4 settings (50 ,60hz ,none and auto) . Only on 4K video . Before update in same lighting condition I have no problem
Ok guys
After update to this rom I'm bit lost
I was on custom 7.1.1 with TWRP before.
I did fresh start and tried flash this rom from TWRP. No luck
Then I have flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MI5_6.10.27_v8-6.0.zip and after boot I have rebooted to recovery (still TWRP) and I have flashed the above rom and this time with luck. After successful boot, I have noticed few FC on for example Music.
No I have lost TWRP, can't go back to my TWRP backup.
Wish I never try lol
How do I start again? How do I flash TWRP?
Thanks

That happened to me too... Thank goodness that I did not lose the recovery and then installed a 6.0.1 rom ( AICP )
I AM DEFINITELY TIRED OF TO TEST NOUGAT MI5 ROMS !! All have performance problems and bugs, there isn't any that works as good as marshmallow roms.
flashing the fastboot rom will lock the bootloader ?
Ok so I thought full TWRP backup (over 6GB) will back up my photos
Nope I lost all my data
Did anybody has stuttering issue on this after flashing SuperSU?
Is this Nougat based?

Format data and cache partitions as ext4 not as f2fs..
Then follow my instructions as before..
Miui has inbuilt gapps..
Why u need opengapps then ??
(Dont flash gapps on miui..)

Last Problem first: I re-partion it. Wipe all what i found. Date and Cache could not mount. Then i formatted system/Cache and Data ext4. Now i Could it mount. Then i formatted all F2FS again. Would install Android 8.1.0-b05 and opengapps for ARM (Not ARM64). Once again : Error 7
Then I tried to install nAOSProm-7.1.2-b04.zip. Its function.
Then i install nAOSProm-8.1.0-b05 and opengapps again. Wipe dalvikcache and now it works. Why i dont know.
Its now TWRP 3.2.3 and after i flash it into the Fotakernel too.
Want to donate a little bit but This recipient is currently unable to receive money. Try it later
PlayStore works too..
Thanks for your help and your patience

Moto Z play wont boot to system after flashing TWRP and installing magisk

I have a Moto Z Play that had the stock current version of Oreo installed, and I was able to unlock my bootloader and I went through the steps in the guide to install TWRP and Magisk, followed by f2fsfix. After installing TWRP I could still boot to system, but then after installing Magisk and f2fsfix, I'm unable to boot to system I just get the screen saying my device isn't trusted and will boot in 5 seconds, but just stays on that screen.
I've tried using the magisk uninstaller and reinstalling, and it hasn't worked. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling magisk by flashing and booting to TWRP, neither has worked. Also I've been using TWRP 3.2.3.0 Addison, and I've tried both Magisk 18.1 and 16.0.
Anyone have any idea as to what may be going on, or how I can rememdy the situation? Let me know if there's additional information you need about the device.
Same thing happened to me. Tried many times but after flashing magisk it couldn't boot to system just get stuck on bootlogo. Luckily i had a twrp backup, i just restored and I'm on nougat now with working imei. Only thing that makes me worry is now i have the stock nougat rom but oreo bootloader.

So if I didn't have a TWRP recovery file would there be a version of the stock rom that I could download and flash to get things working?
So you have an efs backup? As it's something most important otherwise you will loose your imei(not permanently) but it won't show by *#06#. Or in settings.

For Oreo Moto Z Play current and probably last version there exists a pre patched boot.img to flash at the end of the twrp thread. Please have a look there if you still need it, but be aware that it is only for the exact os version.

slow boot on Android Pie with twrp

Please point me to the right thread if there is one.
Since upgraded to Android Pie and TWRP 3.23, my 5T got very slow boot mainly because it stuck at splash screen (the one has powered by android) for about 2min every boots/reboots. I tried restoring to stock recovery, it does boot normally.
This slow boot happens on all Pie updates including 9.0.5 with twrp 3.3.0. Any solution?

It will boots normally only with stock recovery.

try - MagiskManager > uninstall > restore images > reboot TWRP > wipe cache > flash ROM > wipe > flash Magisk > reboot
Alright I tried it. after restored the image TWRP is gone, reboot and it is already stock recovery; booting is fine as it is stock recovery. Anyway I re-flashed OOS 9.0.5 with stock recovery, after 1st boot to system I installed TWRP via fastboot, booting slows down as it was,,, nothing's changed.
The only thing I didn't try to wiping data, I cannot afford losing everything and I don't' believe it matters as I have perfectly fine booting on stock recovery.

this behavior is existing with Magisk 18.1 as well with 19.1?
Yes same slow boot on magisk 18. I doubt if it is related, with twrp it boots slow already even magisk is not installed.
i have this issue too. running the latest codework twrp. not sure if this caused it to slow down because it wasn't this slow before the update.
I've always removed the 'compatibility.zip' from the OOS PIE ROMS, that way I was able to keep the Oreo version of TWRP installed;
twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_treble-op5_op5t.img
This is also nice, in case some people decide they don't like PIE and want to easily revert back.
I've never had any issues like this.

same as before. around 2 minutes to reboot.
If anyone still having this issue, I found it links to encryption of Dual Apps zone. "Format Data" from TWRP and this issue gone, do backup before proceeding and you will lose everything.

Do we have a new solution rather than formatting data now in year 2020?
