Is it based on stable Oreo or Beta one? Asking because of Camera lags while opening. Thanks for sharing....

Do you mean the stable version boot image doesn't have camera lags while opening? The 1st two beta versions both have camera lags.

It probably won't work on MIUI, just any Nougat ROM. I want to see if it boots into the homescreen, and if everything works.
I'm on Razziell 5.8.4 Android 7.1.2, now I test and tell you

P.s. your file is a zip, shouldn't it be a boot.image? Do I need to backup boot partition and after that simply flash your file through TWRP?

Conclusion:
Kernel image was taken from mido, but does not boot in markw.
Therefore, although they use the same processor but the drivers are very different.
Thus, your markw is a ****lot of pain to work on.
Also, I'm not doing anything.
Ok, tnx for info!

If firmware contains emmc_appsboot.mbn then it relocks your bootloader if unlocked unofficially so it doesn't matter flash without emmc_appsboot.mbn

Perfect, thanks again. Haven't messed with this device a whole lot but it's not my daily driver at the moment so I figure I'll play with it.

Yeh, well, It's hard to find someone that is still in august patch...
Notheless, it is easy to extract and patch the boot.img of any firmware.
See this thread, the "How to root stock rom" section in the OP.
See if the tutorial there helps you to extract and patch your boot.img.

Part 7 don't work for me.
BTW:
Part 7: Back to stock for OTA (uninstall all previous mods)
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot falsh boot_b boot.img
I think it should be flash not falsh?
Hi all,
i`ve the same Problem like bavmous. Magisk complet deinstalled and after the reboot i stuck in the Bootani. Also flash the stock boot.img did not succeed. The Solution was boot twrp again and in twrp install Magisk and i could reboot in my System. I say THX in advanced for any Solution.
servus
when I flash recovery.img i got decrypt my data! Anyone can fix it. I dont put pin or pattern
please update to 9.6.16 asap

It not for you to have installed recovery.img, recovery.img only serves to boot to be able to install the TWRP. Read the instructions correctly to have no problem.The author is not at fault if you did not follow the tutorial correctly. Try installing the boot.img again according to your ROM.
