I had tried lots of methods I found on web but the broblem is still not be solved.
Please tell me why and the solution.
Thank you very much.
it seems that you have a Japanese device, this problem has been discussed here before, if you read the older posts you will surely find a solution to the problem

Hello, i recently install this ROM on my BTV-L0J, i thing i noticed the charging speed is so slow ? is it common thing in this ROM ? Thank you...

Hello,
I have a BTV-W09 and have so far had no problems with Los 17.1.

But now I want to go back to Los 15.1, I also followed the instruction exactly, but after the restart after the installation, only the circles of the start animation appear. After 10 minutes I always broke off and played everything again, the same result.

Everything is correct, I installed the 'old' TWRP 3.3.1.0, format data, factory reset, clear vendor + system, install los15, flash boot for W09.

Where could be the problem?

I can try to look into logcat if your device will start it ... you can try to do this command on your PC while your device start booting into LOS 15.1 ( USB cable must be attached)
adb logcat > log.txt

    The new kernel 4.4.0 it's coming soon !

    Hi !

    I was able to successfully update the kernel from stock 4.1.18 to 4.4.0 without to break anything !

    Currently the kernel is on 4.3.0 but there are very few patches ( I think around 1000 new patches need to be added to the over 14,000 already added ) left to add up to 4.4.0, so I allowed myself to do a simulation for 4.4.0 to see if our device really boots with this new version !

    I hope that in a week we will have here the new update with the new security patch for August and with the new kernel 4.4.0.

    Later the kernel must be updated to 4.4.227, which is the latest version today :)

    TWRP 3.3.1-0

    TWRP 3.3.1-0


    You need this new TWRP in order to flash Lineage OS 15.1 !

    Must be installed only on Android N EMUI 5.x

    Working on all Huawei MediaPad M3 8.4 with Android N EMUI 5.x !



    Download :

    twrp-3.3.1-0.img md5: 984779bc7af812eb1b3e67e197732dbc

    Installation :

    adb reboot bootloader

    fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0.img

    fastboot reboot


    You need to FORMAT Data in order to decrypt /data, you need this step because LineageOS 15.1 do not have implemented right now encryption/decryption support !
