Thanks to your feedback I have added some extra steps to ensure that everyone can enjoy the GSI ROM
First of all I am not the creator of this ROM-GSI I only share it in the XDA community and give all the credit to @turbolukex5
You can download and try all of his work from https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files You can see all the work of him in https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-discussion/gsi-expressluke-built-gsis-t4003457
Evolution X 4.0 has all the extra features of the AOSP ROMs plus extra features of Evolution X and all the sweetness of the Pixel. Tested by myself, like Lineage is stable for daily use without any problem of any kind (obviously we all know that moto-mods don't work, only the moto-mod battery in default mode) when used in Moto Z. Needless to say, as you read in the title this ROM is GSI so if you want to try it you need to have Official Lineage OS 16 installed in your Moto Z before attempting to install the GSI image.
So let's go to the installation steps:
Steps when you are already in another GSI
1. Download the GSI image from https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/EvolutionX/Ten/ARM64/A/ EvolutionX_4.0_ARM64A-10.0-20200112-2146-GSI.img.xz
2. Unzip the file to extract the system image and copy it inside your Moto Z
3. Go to TWRP and wipe Data(not internal storage) /Cache/System
4. Go to Install and change to Install image
5. Select the image of Evolution X and flash as system partition
6. Flash Magisk Canary if you want root, gapps already included
6. Reboot to System
7. Wait fist boot and enjoy Evolution X 4.0
First Install/Clean install
1. Install Official Lineage OS 16
2. Boot to Lineage 16
3. Reboot TWRP
4. Wipe System, Data, Cache, Internal Storage
5. Reboot to recovery
6. Copy Evolution X 4 GSI image to Internal storage
7. Go Install IMAGE and select as System partition
8. Flash permissiver_v4
9. Reboot to System
10. Wait first boot and enjoy Evolution X 4.0
By far the best GSI I have tested for our Moto Z

Hey, thanks for the great share! :good::fingers-crossed::highfive::laugh::silly:
1. 'By far the best GSI I have tested for our Moto Z' - have you already tested havoc 3 gsi?
2. please, change this in the description "no gapps already included" it's not clear if they are included or not. simply state 'gapps included'
3. how long should one wait for boot? - for me it's on boot animation min 15 already.
3.1 currently can't pass boot animation (-05 china version of Moto Z)
4. is latest official twrp OK for flashing this image?

Thank you for your advice, I tried Havoc but the battery life was not ideal for me but it is still a great option. You need to use twrp-3.3.1-0 but I'm not sure if the official version works in the CN version. Already installed does not take more than 3 minutes to boot. Try to erase Data and flash Magisk.

Yeah, official 331 works just fine.
The case is it's 2 sim phone and aosp on this phone even has no sim up.
What do you mean by erase data? - format or factory reset or wipe?
By the way, which partitions do you backup in twrp for successful full restore?

I mean Wipe data partition where you have to write "yes" to wipe data. I had a similar problem when I started trying GSI everything was solved when I did a full wipe of System, Data, Cache then reboot to TWRP and install Lineage 16 afther that reboot to system and after full boot again TWRP and start to flash gsi, never had problems again when I want to try a GSI image I just do wipe cache and system and that's it
I do not make any backup I only make a backup copy of google that saves my contacts, photos, Wi-Fi networks, etc. and does not wipe data partition
Remember permissive and fixzygote are not needed for GSI builds made after 25th September

Give us more information to help you. What is the error that shows you or where are you stopped in the process?
There is no mistake.
The installation ends with the boot image evolution and nothing further happens.
I wait about 20 minutes
I even did a clean LineageOS installation and it did nothing.

winrar work pretty ok
check the consequence above by author with format via "yes" - BE SURE TO BACKUP INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE AS IT CLEANS IT OUT.
I have the same problem as you, only can get a life long boot animation. even though aosp 210 boots up (with no ril unfortunately).
but I have not tried to do it with yes-format yet. so, if you are up to it now, would be great to know if you succeeded.
which device do you own? mine is -05 chineese 2 sim

Into the TWRP, folow these steps:
1- Go Wipe - Format Data (DON'T BOOT the System Yet)
2- Go Reboot - Recovery
3- Now you flash the System img. Be patient and wait the process. It can take 3-5 minutes, maybe more. (DON'T BOOT the System Yet)
4- Go Reboot - Recovery
5- Now go Wipe - Format Data - Boot Rom

0. Check the attached
1. Try to flash permissiver on it
2. Try to wipe data not from twrp, but from fastboot only
3. Flash can still be done via twrp
4. Please, post the result

OKAY, THIS IS HOW I BOOT IT (EASY):
1. system, data, cache wipes
2. flash lineageos16
3. boot and pass first setup
4. boot to recovery
5. flash image
6. flash permissiver V5 - with v4 there is no ril
7. boot
boots fast, a couple of minutes.

Excellent step, apparently if you have never installed a GSI ROM it is absolutely necessary to flash permitsiver_v4, I have added the step and works smoothly. :good: I realized that after trying JoyUI GSI from Vegazsd, (it works but with the bugs of the camera and gsm network :crying and when I returned to Evolution X it only worked after flashing permissiver_4
The guide is updated and ready for everyone to enjoy the GSI on their Griffin
I installed permissiver_4 before installing img. It is a pity that I did not know about v4 installation after and not before.
And all in all I still don't know if v4 is good or if you need to install v5.
I have a request if you donate something, try to follow the right order of installation because information chaos creeps in.
Thank you for the advice and best regards.
Today I will try again and if it goes wrong it fits
As I understand it is supposed to be pure lineageos16 without gaps and Google applications like that?
He asks now in detail not to err.

I recommend flash permissiver v5 as my ril was back only with it. V4 doesn't help
And I think you can skip data formats if you did it once.
I did only
normal wipes,
then lineagos flash
then boot it and first setup
then straightly flash img and permissiver v5
then it boots just ok and fast
Ah, yeah, and for me it's always best idea to reboot recovery after every operation. Because here and there I've seen it may fail to properly mount some partitions depending on the situation, which leads to errors while flashing
I have a request.
Which Magisk to install?

One of the most popular custom ROM projects of the last few years, Paranoid Android lost many of its core developers to OnePlus in February 2015. OnePlus recruited them to develop its in-house, following its breakup with Cyanogen. Predictably, PA releases slowed to a crawl, with the last major release, based on Android 5.1, [coming out in July. In October, project lead Matt Flaming announced what pretty much everyone had been suspecting for a while – the Paranoid Android project was on hold.
Now the Paranoid Android project is back into the spotlight, with over a dozen new team members and a new feature-packed release that’s been nine months in the making.
Features coming in this release, some of them familiar and some new, include an improved floating window mode, immersive mode, on-the-spot controls for the behavior of the notification dropdown, a polished quick settings re-order mechanism, battery style, an advanced power dialog, support for Paranoid OTA updates, a theme engine, and support for layers. For certain devices, including OnePlus and Oppo phones, the release offers advanced features like an enhanced kernel, advanced gesture control, and support for the alert slider and fingerprints scanner.:laugh:

Some revival. I flashed it and I'm stuck at the OnePlus logo. Apparently someone with a OP2 had the same problem and he fixed it by flashing the system partition before flashing the ROM. I did the same and my phone still won't boot up. Oh well.
I used both TWRP 3 and 2.8.7.0 and am also coming from an unaltered COS 13.
Same issue as @aarthyn. Wiped data, flashed it stuck at OnePlus logo. Used TWRP 2.8.6.1 and came from Sultan's Unofficial CM13 (6.0.1) May 26 build. Restored my backup and now it comes up with a SIM Card not found error.
Not happy.

How to flash PA rom....
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash latest CM nightlies (optional)
3. Factory reset
4. Flash PA rom and Bank's Gapps
5. Reboot into system
6. Setup your devices
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Flash SuperSu
9. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
10. Reboot into system
11. Done
Only PA rom and Bank's Gapps can be flash together....if you're planning to flash SuperSu or Custom Kernel you need to reboot into system first then boot back to recovery to flash them (wipe cache and dalvik after flashing them)....
People who are coming from CyanogenOS 13, check your partitions. They might be formatted to f2fs, which may be why your phones don't go past the bootanimation. Mine were formatted to ext4, and I had absolutely no problems doing a clean flash from SultanXDA's latest CM13 build.

try it and if didnt boot here are my steps if i remember correctly :
-flash latest global developer fastboot rom with mi flash (flash all , be careful with locking bootloader accidentally )
-wait until first boot before phone setup and don't go through it
-reboot to fastboot mode and flash nijel twrp
-reboot directly to recovery
-wipe->factory reset
-flash 8.11.26 pie
-reboot system
Exatly as for me. Flashed with nigel TWRP, with format data before. Few issues but CN firmware... Google must be installed.
ok will do that now and report
i flashed latest global then tried to flash with that recovery but nothing.
i am now going to flash china dev latest and try again
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
so to be clear
i am gonna flash dev global 8.11.23 via fastboot
then wait for it to get to 1st set up screen but not go through the setup process
will then flash that twrp you mentioned via fastboot
and flash the rom after factory reset

i did exactly what you said again just to be sure
and it booted up with no problem
- mi flash->global 8.11.23 -> clean all
- first boot until welcome screen
- power off-> volume down+power -> fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery nijeltwrp.img"
- volume up+power to boot to recovery
(so far if decryption goes well twrp shuold not request decryption password and you could mount data and see internal storage contents in /sdcard with no problem in twrp file manager)
- wipe->factory reset
- install pie zip rom 8.11.26
- wipe dalvik+cache
- reboot system
it took about 4 or 5 minutes for me to boot
If I've gone straight from the latest stock China ROM to xiaomi.eu 10.0.0.6.0 and have since flashed the latest nijel TWRP - which is all working fine.
Can I simply flash to this pie release or do I need to have previously flashed one of the developer ROMs?
Guys, quick conformation, please as I hear conflicting reports about MIUI Pie and my TWRP...
Please, from experience, decryption works, right? How about formatting data with TWRP and boot to Pie? Is MIUI Pie able to encrypt fresh data partition? And if yes is TWRP able to decrypt it again?
Thank you, feedback is really appreciated so I know what needs to be done for full Pie compatibility!!!

first thanks again for your great work on this recovery
decryption was good with oreo 8.11.15 china rom but right after pie rom boots and rebooting to recovery, decryption fails
from there rebooting to recovery again doesn't change anything ... recovery asks for decryption password every time.
and cuz data partition is not mounted so recovery log will not be saved to internal memory to attach it here
after formatting data miui boots successfully and encrypts data again.setting up the phone and rebooting to recovery ... but same thing happens and decryption fails.
i'm a newbie in the A/B partitions system previously i have installed many roms on many Android phones but all of them are below android 6.0. now i moved to Mi A1 and i flashed TWRP and rooted my phone with Magisk18 now i have tried to flash lineageOS 16 on stock Pie but when i tried to flash it asks for slot_a or slot_b and i dont know anything about a/b partitions so i quit installation and write this thread pls help.

6. Flash gapps and magisk if you need it
That's what I did and works like a charm but I prefer RR.
Cheers!

This method is not working. We have to use a special bootable TWRP for LOS 16 Official builds.

Try following these steps:
1. Download and boot this TWRP. Only boot it, don't flash it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LtLrNnL0h7alZaaOWADvc2Sf5aNkNukM/view
2. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik. If you are encrypted, make a Format Data.
3. Go to Reboot and select other slot. (For example, if you are on Slot A, select Slot B)
4. Boot TWRP again.
5. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik. Make a format data again.
6. Install latest LineageOS 16 Official nightly. You can select A or B.
7. Reboot to bootloader.
8. Boot TWRP again.
9. Flash GApps and Magisk (if you want root).
10. Reboot to system and enjoy Lineage!

All you do is your own risk.
I did install (with wiping data) the following:
1. OrangeFox 10 recovery, check "disable dv-verify" to be on for 20.1.16+ vendor, then from it
2. Latest China Beta
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui11/
3. Phh-gsi Quack / Andy Yan's LOS 17 GSI
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases
https://sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-17.x/
4. Open gapps (optional)
5. Fix to enable Camera2, bluetooth and wired audio (attached)
6. Gcam (optional) - MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-TlnNeun_Urnyx05-v3.6.apk abd others

What works: everything except exfat
Will try. What are the issues?
The only issue I had so far is Audiofx crash in LOS with gmaps navigate voice. Just deleted los soundfx app in Orangefox.
Please note: Android10 partition scheme is a/b, you have to use a/b gsi

A/B?
Yep, Android 10 roms from Xiaomi are system-as-root, so bvN (a/b) gsi is suitable

someone tested with erfanGSI?
Hello together,
after 3 Days of reading and searching and testing solutions, I have to ask you if you can solve my problem.
I can't find the reason by myself, because I'm new with this topic. I want to install a Custom ROM on my Huawei P 8 Lite Alice from 2015, but everytime I flash any Custom ROM which should match, it ends in a bootloop (huawei logo, then logo custom rom, then huawei logo etc....).
My device:
Huawei P8 Lite ALE L21 from 2015 - Alice
Built number before start this "project": ALE-L21C432B634
Android 6
Emui 4.0.3
Bootloader unlocked with code generated by dc-unlocker
No Root
My prefered Custom ROM is Lineage OS 14.1 and I tried to flash it following the steps in this thread:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-p8-lite-t3824247[/URL]
1. step - Flash TWRP
First Problem was to install the TWRP 3.1.1 linked in this thread:
[url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/twrp-t3583180[/url][/URL]
To flash the TWRP image with adb caused no problem. When I boot into recovery, TWRP starts, but when I touch anything on the screen (like swipe to unlock) the System boots (With OS installed it boots the OS and without it stucks at huawei logo). Booting again into TWRP is no Problem.
I solved this problem with a TWRP image 3.1.0-1 from this forum:
[url]https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8-lite.2476/huawei-p8lite-neues-inoffizielles-twrp-3-1-0-1-von-surdu_petru-xda.826139.html[/URL]
The thread references on the same XDA thread mentioned above, but it is linked to another version of TWRP image. This Version 3.1.0-1 is working good.
2. step - flash EMUI 4.1
I flashed the EMUI Update B896 with TWRP. In the thread to the Lineage OS 14.1 mentioned above, it is described that you need this update. I used the linked .zip.
Steps:
1. Wipe Data, internal storage, system, Dalvik Cache, Cache (all except micro sd card).
2. Format Data
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. flash .zip from SD card
5. Wipe Davlik Cache and Cache
5. Reboot System
After that :
Android 6
Build number: ALE B896
EMUI: 4.1
The updated ROM works good.
3. Step - Flash Lineage OS 14.1
Steps:
1. Wipe Data, internal storage, system, Dalvik Cache, Cache (all except micro sd card).
2. Format Data
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. flash .zip from SD card
5. Wipe Davlik Cache and Cache
5. Reboot System
Result Boot Loop :victory:
Trouble shooting:
I tried to install different TWRP versions, but only the TWRP 3.1.0-1 works.
I useb adb sideload to flash the Lineage
I flashed the EMUI 4.03. I had before and than Lineage 14.1 (EMUI works, but Lineage doesn't)
I wiped dalvik cache and data, cache after flashing Lineage, to fix the bootloop
I flashed versions of Lineage OS 14.1 from different dates and different download websites
I flashed different Custom ROMS - all the same Problem except Lineage 13.0. Lineage 13.0 boots till it is ready to "preparing" apps and than boots again.
Now I don't know what do do and would be very thankful to get some new ideas to try or perhaps a solution
Thank you! :highfive:
The ROM needs Emui 4.1 B895/B896 update to be installed first
Then unlock bootloader, flash twrp then flash ROM
Thank you for your help. I'll try this. So I have to lock bootloader again first?
No. You flash the update with twrp
Go to step 6 in the first post on this thread

Maybe I described it not so good in my first post but I think I did it already exactly like that.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash Emui 4.1 update B896 ( its working on my phone now)
4. Flash TWRP again
5. Flash Custom Rom ( evertime the result is a bootloop)
Or did I overlook anything?
Sorry I didn't read that part where you flashed emui 4.1
Lineage os 14.1 works for me.
Did you try Resurrection Remix OS

Thank you very much, that you tried to help me Im happy about all suggestions.
Yes I tried RR and Paranoid, but its the same Problem. I'm wondering that the EMUI Roms which are not officially from Huawei work and any custom rom does not. Maybe there is a Problem with the structure of my system but I dont know anything about this stuff and how to find out the reason for my Problem:laugh:
Maybe you know a command for adb or android terminal app to check if everything is ok?
