Hi brother! Can you help me get the root functionality and recovery back on this device? I was so excited before flashing it. But after flashing, I've lost the recovery and there's no root too. It seems just same as the old CyanogenMod 14.1. Nothing is changed. [I can't flash stock FTF again, 'cause I don't have my laptop with me.]

maybe are any different techniques, but this is the fastest method how to get root, only flash this .zip :) ..i think that easiest way doesn't exist :) .. and if you want delete a root, on google play exist app from chainfire to remove ;)
good luck ..

Hi, I think you must wipe everything and begin from stock rom. [emoji20]
Did you tried this add-on for root??

LineageOS 20170131 Nightly

I just did a quick install of LineageOS 20170131 Nightly.
There is no default system su i.e no root access.
There is a BASIC Cyanogenmod Recovery with no functionality, but it removes my original TWRP 3.0.2 recovery.
I then thought I'd just reinstall TWRP 3.0.2 by Fastboot and see if I could reboot back into LineageOS 20170131 Nightly...No.
I just re-installed a AOSP 7.1 build until I've had a bit more of a think.
SO.... I then thought I'd better have a look/read and see what other people are doing.... :D

Using LineageOS 20170131 Nightly seemed stable and usable for the short time I was using it. WiFi all OK.
No problems installing it.
It does take 11½ minutes (i.e. a VERY long time) for the first initial boot to load.
The LineageOS startup animation logo does appear quickly on the first boot (Less than a minute).
You'll be staring at the circle expanding/contracting on the arc for a VERY long time though.
So leave it 15minutes+ before you consider pulling the battery.

Anyway, that's my show and tell.

Update - Root access is available when you install the su.zip at the initial build (LineageOS extras)
You may have problems installing SuperSU if that's your thing, as it may be a restricted SU built into the LineageOS menu only.
SU options are inside developer menu which is activated by a few taps on build number in About menu.

I still haven't worked out how to set TWRP as default recovery.

Android 7.1.1 LineageOS potential standby over 8days

Haven't really done much with my C1905 running Android 7.1.1 LineageOS but over 8 days idle standby is pretty good start. :D

That's with no Location/GPS, WiFi always on, no mobile data and 100% telephony signal.

I finally installed lineageos on my xperia m , the latest build 20170207. Before lineageos it was running on Cm-14.1.
So far everything works all right. Recovery twrp 3020 works great.
I did clean install, first boot took 7-8 min, flashed su (arm) and that is it. :cool:

Is there any difference than cm14.1? Memory management and performance.

    Hi, i have cm 14.1 with adopted storage.
    could this cause problems installing lineageos?
    Storage remain the same?

    I didn't have any problems with adopted storage. I also recommend to make backup of boot and recovery in TWRP. Right after flashing LineageOS experimental restore them because versions from 25.1. don't have them.
