Thank you
I recommend lineageOS recovery. Twrp 3.3.1-0 didn't work with my S4 active

Boot animation gets stuck and reboots, or shows pink screen on i9515

First at all, THANKS for your work and time.
For me it had been impossible to flash the last firmware.
I tried a clean install and also a dirty one only to test...
I used the last TWRP for S4 (I9505).
I finally restored the backup I've done before.

also from my side a BIG THANKS to the dev's and all the others !

for those who fight with installation:
I did it on an 9505 via sideload command following this instruction
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/jfltexx/install
see "Installing LineageOS from recovery"

and under JDCTeam Recovery from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...jdcteam-optimized-lineageos17-0-v1-0-t4020687
see "TWRP"

I guess it should do with the recommanded official recovery too (alas it lacks a backup function):
https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx

P.S.
ping @npjohnson
your link to your "personal builds" is (currently) dead

Today's build won't allow gapps to be flashed due to an issue on the signing server, tomorrows will work fine.

Do you know if is it possible to flash LOS recovery through Odin-3.14.4 or lower?

I'm not very habituated to use ADB commands [emoji28]

I answer myself... it's not possible because Odin needs "recovery.img.tar" to flash correctly.
So waiting to a build that works with TWRP

If would have followed the links I provided you would have learned that you might install the JDCTeam Recovery through your current TWRP recovery.
JDCTeam Recovery is just a patched version of TWRP (to my understanding patched regarding settings), see:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p/jdcteam-twrp-3-3-0-0-custom-builds-t3925619
=>
cit.:
"...
How to install:
From your recovery -> Install -> install image -> select the .img -> Press home -> Reboot -> Recovery
..."

in JDCTeam Recovery you'll find the button "Advanced" and there "ADB Sideload"

I guess this is also present in the TWRP recovery.
- I couldn't prove it, cause I'm on JDC -

If you are there, "adb sideload <our-shiny-new-17.1-ROM-here>" or the heimdall commands aren't that rocket science ...

P.S.
the JDCTeam Recovery download link leads to a *.tar file and that contains a "recovery.img" !

Hrmph ...

Hi @rw_on_xda I'm agree with your comments... I didn't followed the links because I downloaded directly from Lineage web. Also I always had the habit to use the TWRP process since LOS14 (on my Galaxy S4 and S5).
This evening after work I'll flash the recovery image then the rest.

Thanks again for your work.

For i9505 there is missing version 17 to download from official site download.lineageos.org/jfltexx
Each others version from post #1 got nighty version 17 what happens ? I9505 is so popular but without build of v17, strange. Got other build from other topic: JDCTeam got some optimized lineageOS17.1 v.3.0 ( android 10 )

I solved this with lineageOS recovery

 

[Gitanitos]

I had finally flashed succesfully the rom but....
Since the previous post (same error with JDCTeam Recovery), I flashed again the LOS Recovery and flashed again the firm. With this recovery I succesfully flashed the firm but NOT the OpenGapps "nano", having a new error.
Ok...then I flashed again JDCTeam recovery and again LOS17 firm + OpenGapps succesfully.
I restarted (very fast...) and the start up has been correct. The only issue is that I don't have or see the Play Store or google aplication inside my phone...strange.
Thanks again
