Hi @mrmathematica I flashed the ROM using TWRP, and when it finished it rebooted to recovery and got stuck in the TWRP logo. I can flash the LOS recovery, and also one from the LOS unnofficial build, but I can't use the latest TWRP version just like before. Do you know what could have happened and what can I do? Thanks in advance.

Update: the only official TWRP version working for me is 3.3.0.0, which I tried to update and is still stuck in the TWRP logo.

I see, I didn't expect this to be a bug. Then, my guess is that the ROM can be flashed using TWRP, right? Thank you

Update: Issue created in GitLab

According to Isaac Chen (our maintainer), he is using 0625 version + twrp (self-compiled from official source), and everything is fine.

My own 6x is fine with either official TWRP 3.3.1 or 3.4.0, but I'm not on Lineage now. So if TWRP 3.4.0 is not working for you at all, I assume the issue is not with this ROM.

I was on AICP before flashing LOS, and latest TWRP was working fine. I reflashed TWRP again and again after this issue but the only version working now in my phone is 3.3.0.0, which is also not working with LOS.

Which ROM are you using? I'd like to try switching to another ROM to see if that fixes this error. I don't know if it's also related to ARB

My 6x is on Official Carbon ROM, with official TWRP. Everything works. I recently upgraded to official TWRP 3.4.0 (from 3.3.1, which I used for a long time), and upgrading carbon rom to newer builds always works. As it is the main phone of a family member, I can't easily switch ROM.

Thanks, I'll try it and will check how is it going

I had to flash the stock ROM in flashable ZIP to make latest TWRP work again. Now, I'm wondering if I should have not wiped the system partition just before flashing LOS, I ignored most of the ROMs do that by themselves. Also, I just realized the post says recommended firmare is stock 11.X.X. Do you know if the maintainer was using that firmware before flashing LOS or if he just didn't wipe the system partition? The last was my bad, as I said, I ignored that most ROMs wipe system partition during installation.

Thanks in advance.

See my note in OP: I checked with dev and he think this is an issue with twrp. Lineage recovery as mentioned in instruction is tested to work.

Thanks for following the issue with dev. Now a question would be if by flashing the LOS recovery prior to flashing LOS will allow TWRP to work properly if flashing the recovery later, since in my case I flashed LOS from TWRP, then flashed the LOS recovery and then flashed again LOS to make it boot properly. However, I wasn't able to use latest TWRP until I flashed the latest stock firmware.

Cannot recognize wired headset with type-c interface

Hello, I want to report a problem. The interface of my wired headset is type-c. When I plug in the lineage os and plug in the headset, the device cannot be recognized. When I plug in the headset to play, the sound will come out of the speaker , Can this problem be solved?

 

[junkypong]

Can we apply the lineage recovery using the twrp recovery? Or it has to applied via the adb only? Or has the issue with the TRWP been fixed? Thanks in advance!

Are there any known problems with this ROM?

I don't notice any. If you find any, feel free to report to LineageOS. Or you can mention it here.

OP updated to reflect major version update (from LineageOS 17 to 18).

My China bought Mi 6X is not connecting to Wi-Fi; network is saved but connecting. So decided (have been thinking for some time now) to get rid of the Chinese ROM and unlocked the bootloader. Then I have found out that there is no fastboot ROM for 6X. Luckily I have found this thread. However, I am stuck at "recovery installation" stage.

As seen from the screenshot I have tried to flash both LOS Recovery and twrp. Both times when I reboot to recovery MI-Recovery 3.0 is there. What I am doing wrong/incomplete.

I somehow managed to boot to LOS Recovery (trick was pushing the buttons right after flashing). I have followed the sideloading steps for both LOS and GApps carefully, however I am now stuck with LOS Recovery screen saying

E:Emulated failed to bind mount /mnt/staging/emulated/media/0 on /storage/emulated: No such file or directory

I have tried rebooting right after sideloading LOS without GApps and same result.

What I am doing wrong/incomplete?
