I've been trying to install LineageOS on an old Swift and it's been quite a saga.
I first tried about a year ago and gave up. This time I wasn't surprised to have to try several USB cables to find one that the phone would talk to, but that was just the start.
The installation guide doesn't tell you that it won't boot into recovery mode unless the cable is plugged in. Having got it into recovery mode, it won't talk to adb with any of my cables, even though I had previously managed to update the recovery, so I decide to try loading it from SD. The SD card from the phone wouldn't mount and I thought it might be defective as the laptop kept wanting to reformat it. After I changed the SD adapter I was using with the laptop it had no more issues with the laptop. but still wouldn't mount in the phone. Changing the SD card as well got me past that, but now I'm completely stuck.
I tried the nightly for 27th Jan. It failed to verify. I checked it with sha256sum and it was correct. I tried again with the nightly for 29th Jan, but that also failed to verify although sha256sum also suggested that it was correct.
Has anyone else managed to load those images? Is there any check I can do other than sha256sum?
