Hey guys,

so i'm having big problems updating my firmware on my 8t. After the last update i experienced some issues, Luk told me to try to update the firmware. I solved every problems, except for one:
When im trying to flash the img files, most of them are getting the error message:

Sending 'abl_a' (0 KB) FAILED (File is too large to download)

even, if the files are only 20kb large. Some 2000kb sized files just works fine. What is happening? I don't really know what im doing wrong. I have about 20-30 gb of free space on my phone, is this the problem? I hope someone can help me, im really enjoying lineageos. But my phone always crashes now and some things like sound or microphone aren't working.
Can somebody maybhe help? I', trying to do this for hours now....
I'm using this instructions https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kebab/fw_update

Use the firmware flasher and flash the firmware.zip in recovery
adb sideload firmware.zip
Here is the link to the firmware files. Choose the latest for your specific region.

Anyone try the latest 13.1 F67 firmware? ( On AOSP )

Seems they haven't fixed the modem, as my signal is very poor . Flashed back to IN_OOS13_F63_F13modem and much better.

Would it be possible to use 13.1 F67 firmware, with F13 modem ?

Usually main OOS firmware doesn't rely on a modem firmware version too much.
So you can try flashing f13/f15 modem.img to F67 and check for level signal/speed results.
If you have issues, just flash F67 modem partition back.
