Problems With Lineage 15.1

[EnricoLeoni]

Good morning to all,

I think I posted this thread in the wrong place and I'm sorry for this, so I post it here now.

I flashed my SM-P905 with Lineage 15.1 using TWRP 2.8.7.0.

I have installed the correct OS (viennaltexx) and the correct gapps (arm 8.1 super) but I was having an issue with Google Play Services that was continuously stopping and this didn't allow me to set the google account and to get access to all the play services, so I decided to retry to flash the OS and gapps, I wiped everything but the sd card, but now when I try to flash the OS it stops on "no md5 file found" (no error 7) and it goes back to the TWRP home.

Now I've installed the 14.1 Lineage OS (again wiping everything but the sd card) and it is very stable and fast and gives only 1 problem:

- the fact that I can't install the SuperSU and it causes the CM S Pen app fail to work, because lacking of root access. When I flash the file (file name "addonsu-14.1-arm-signed") everything goes well, but when I reboot the system the SuperSU app is missing. I activated the access for APP and ADB in the developer options but it still doesn't work;

This system would be completely satisfying with S Pen functions.

But I would try to install Oreo just beacause I would like to try the porting created by Alexis, with the Note 9 apps.

Can someone please help me? Thank you very much!

Try upgrading your TWRP to a newer version (3.1.1 seems to be popular version) and flash everything again. 2.8.7 is a very old version for TWRP, and might not handle the 15.1 stuff well.

Hi rhricik, thank you very much for your response.

I tryed to find the .tar file to install it with Odin, but I failed, I only find the IMG files. Do you know how to install the newer version using the IMG file and the TWRP app in Android (if it is possible ti do) or do you have a link to a .tar file?

I tryed to flash the image with the recovery, but when I go to the download folder i tap on "images" but I can't see the file. I can see it in the archive, but not in recovery mode.

Thank you again!

I found only the TWRP 3.0.2 as the latest version for Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. I converted the img file to .tar and it worked, but when I go to instal the OS it still stops on md5 file not found.

Is it safe to use a TWRP 3.2.2 for another device?

Otherwise I could try to flaash the system using Odin. Is it possible?

Hi bemanet, thank you very much! The 3.2.2 version of TWRP is successfully installed.

At least now I know what the problem is.

When I flash the system I obtain this response now:

" Skipping Digest Check: no Digest file found
Zip file is corrupt!
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/oreo/lineage-15.1-20180708-UNOFFICIAL-viennalte.zip'
Updating partition details...
... done "

So maybe there must be some problem with the file structure.

Anyway thank you very much for your help.

Regards

You may need to re-download the file. It may be corrupt....

Yes i tried but the file results unavailable, maybe for fixing. I'll try again later!

Thank you very much!

Meanwhile, do you know why I find impossible on Lineage 14.1 to install a different keyboard? I tried to install the Samsung keyboard and another different keyboard with CTRL and arrows keys (both installations went good) but both times when I went to select the keyboard It gave me only the gboard.

Plus, when I try to open the gboard settings the app crashes, so I would like to change it.

Thank you again!

Try Hacker's Keyboard from the Play Store - has all the control and arrow keys. That's been my main keyboard across 5 devices. Works well.

Follow the directions that Hacker's Keyboard gives to get it set up as your default keyboard
