I decided it was finally time to upgrade to the newer LineageOS 17.1 branch nightlies from my previous installation of 16, rebooted to recovery and sideloaded lineage-17.1-20201013-nightly-enchilada-signed.zip onto it from https://download.lineageos.org/enchilada .
After doing so it appears the recovery successfully updated, it has a new purple skin it didn't have before, however the actual ROM won't start. Instead it goes to fastboot mode and asks whether I want to Start/Restart/Recovery/etc, but I can only get into fastboot or recovery mode.
I've tried flashing older nightlies, but even with 20200922 the issue was still there. I did notice there was a ton of updates in that specific release so I wonder if anything is broken in there.. unfortunately that's also the oldest available nightly so without compiling my own there's no way I can test whether older ones are functional, unless someone here has an older version available perhaps.
I did notice doing adb sideload only makes it go to 47% before the phone goes to installing it, however maybe that's normal, I haven't used it in a while so I don't know for sure. I tried using ADB to push an image onto /tmp, however the new recovery only seems to have 'Apply from ADB' as option so I can't actually install it from there.
Does anyone have any ideas I could try, or perhaps an older LineageOS nightly from before 09-22 laying around somewhere? Any help or suggestions much appreciated!
PPS: Of course I forgot to mention but I also did a factory reset, but that did not help. unsure what else to try besides compiling a rom myself or trying other roms from the forums here, though I'd very much prefer having LineageOS..
