Can't flash LineageOS 15.1 update

[R.BehRhugger]

Hello all, so I have been having some heat issues with my Mi 5s plus from the top right area of my phone. It gets wicked hot and also battery life has been going down a bit. So I wanted to re-flash and be sure all is updated. When I go to re-flash I get an error message saying that I need to update the firmware with Miui 8 or newer to flash Lineage. That doesn't sound right to me as LineageOS should have it's own firmware, right? Any help with this would be great!

Thank you all so much.

Nope, lineage OS is a ROM based on Android versions, some device's can't be updated to newer versions of Android with lineage OS because the manufacturer hasn't released an updated firmware/bootloader. And since Xiaomi released Android 8 and 7 for natrium most likely the newer versions of LOS request one of those

You need to flash last fw before ROM

Thank you all for the info and help. I did update the MiUi firmware, but now when trying to flash the latest LOS I am getting Error 7.

Any thoughts on this one?

I am not sure, but a format data should solve
