LineageOS 18.1 [R] [11] (Unofficial) (Beta) Mi Pad 4 Plus (clover)

[sb56637]

Yeah, but apparently LOS 18.0 beta doesn't.
I tried LOS 18.0 (beta) without gapps first and it would bootloop after reaching the home-screen. Flashing gapps would solve the issue (for me) but I don't use gapps so ... I went back to LOS 17.1.
I also experienced the issue with the sdcard not being properly detected.

Ah, OK, thanks for confirming that. I'll just wait a bit longer then until it works without the Gapps.

I have tested with all the builds but infinite bootloop of lineage is what I see and black screen too what should I do? I use the recommended TWRP 3.4.0 so is not the problem the TWRP neither the format data

 

[reg66]

Thanks a lot for working on this. I tried the following versions, but they all bootloop (bootsplash, lockscreen visible for a few seconds, then reboots):

lineage-18.0-20201017-UNOFFICIAL-clover_rev0.zip
lineage-18.0-20201018-UNOFFICIAL-clover.zip
lineage-18.0-20201019-UNOFFICIAL-clover.zip

This is with a WiFI-only miPad 4, latest TWRP, complete wipe of everything first.

Just to add... When you say 'complete wipe off everything' did you wipe vendor partition?

Correct me if I'm wrong (haven't flashed mi pad /xiaomi for ages so might have forgot) but after flashing base miui firmware, you need to NOT wipe vendor as its required? Only wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash custom rom. I may be wrong tho, sorry if that's a bit vague I really can't remember. Perhaps someone with more current knowledge can chip in!?

 

[sb56637]

@reg66 Hi, yes, I did wipe the vendor partition too. I believe the instructions somewhere said to do that, but maybe that was a mistake. What could I do now to test it?

Again, I'm only going from old(!) memory, so may be wrong, but I think the vendor is needed as a base for the custom rom to install on/use, if thsat makes sense. Don't think there's anything to test, if it's wiped you'll to re-flash xiaomi firmware. Does your Mi Pad still boot to TWRP ok?

If so, grab either the last stable firmware Xiaomi EU from here (xiaomi.eu_multi_MIPAD4_V10.3.2.0.ODJCNXM_v10-8.1 from 24/06/2019) or last weekly release 9.8.29 (from 02/09/2019) here and flash that.

Once flashed, do your wipes before flashing custom but leave Vendor untouched. Hopefully it should flash and boot fine now.

The ROM will wipe the vendor partition even if you don't so, it doesn't matter.

 

[reg66]

The ROM will wipe the vendor partition even if you don't so, it doesn't matter.

Oh ok, cheers!!! How comes (if I recall correctly) it's said to wipe all but the vendor on Mi Pad or Xiaomi - or is it just that some roms include vendor whilst others don't?

I thought it mattered which Xiaomi firmware yo uhad flashed as a base build for the custom roms, no?


(apologies, it has been a while with Xiaomi flashing!!)

 

[Alex Kane]

I thought it mattered which Xiaomi firmware yo uhad flashed as a base build for the custom roms, no?

It matters if the firmware for the device is under active development. If not, custom ROMs can use/port newer firmware from other devices with similar SOCs and provide that as part of the vendor partition.

? Nice one, I see! Well explained dude

The weekly is actually later; it's v10.5 (Don't be confused by date used for version in FirmwareUpdater for Developer / Beta ROMs) and fixes coms problems after Oreo incl LTE, WiFi etc, so may still pay to flash if you only have 10.3.2... I'd download from Xiaomi Firmware Updater site though. See following for links, help to check version installed if you have LTE device:

@pndwal Ah, ok, thanks for clearing up the confusion. And sorry for the dumb question, but what's the difference between the "firmware" and "vendor" files?

@sabar_op I was using latest pie bliss and tried to clean flash 25/10 build. It boots but only gives a black screen and eventually reboots on its own. I tried clean flash a couple more times but gave same results. Finally I flashed 19/10 build and its working normally. Only bug I've faced so far in 19/10 build is lineageos settings is missing in overall settings. But I'm able to find specific lineageos settings from search bar (like status bar editing and so on). Even sdcard is working normally for me (although I had to format it within the rom).

Yes...others also reported that 25/10 build has that issue..I already delete it from the link...sorry about that...
The LineageOS 18.0 still beta, so its normal that some setting still missing or has bug...

 

[idcom]

Running well on mi pad 4 plus. Really good apart from no sd card. Trying to upload logs.

Reformatted SD card on pc and it now works.

 

[Rustdroid]

I tried it and it runs great. I didn't have any problem with sdcard.
Going back to los 17.1 for now swift installer and pitch black themes don't work with 11 yet. Was good to see what 11 is like.

 

[sabar_op]

Update new rom 01 Nov (see 1st for the link) :
- Fix bootloop
- Some update from source
- Fix sdcard format issue (???) Please test it as I dont have the sdcard.

This one booted but just flashing nikgapps at the same time, flashing only rom bootlops

Dirty installed and it booted fine. Have tracked down that the sdcard will mount if vfat formatted but not exfat formatted. When you format in the system it happily formats the card to exfat which it then can't mount.

When I put it on my Linux PC it recognises exfatmand can mount but not on the tablet.

Below is output of proc/filesystem and mount with vfat card in.

Hi folks,

First of all a big thank you for your work here, I did a clean install last night (TWRP + Full Wipe) of the 11/02 + nikgapps (full) + magisk. Overall I am elated to move away from MIUI to a clean Android OS.

Saw two issues, one I have seen mentioned.

* No SD card +1 - It comes up with a message detecting the SD card and tries to 'fix' it. It formats it but it's not visible in the OS. Soon after it prompts again to 'fix' it.
* Enabling encryption put me into a boot loop - Reboots to password prompt but loops before you can type anything. No keyboard comes up.
(Had to reflash to get out of that one)

Otherwise using/watching happily!

Thank you!
