I've released version 1.2. This should work just fine again. I've added Seedvault which allows you to backup your apps without the need for root!

lineage-18.0 is almost ready. I normally start building once the DB migration path is working. This means that you can install it over 17.1 and it will just work. This hasn't been merged upstream yet.

@modpunk, thanks a lot for this update. Good work, much appreciated that you share it with the public. ;)
A question about file encryption, version 1.2 and TWRP: If I am not mistaken, since LOS V1.1 it's not possible anymore to access encrypted /data in TWRP. I guess this has to do with LOS, cause this issue suddenly appeared with the update to V1.1. Any idea what could be the issue in that regard?

I'm working on a TWRP update based on twrp-10.0 (Android 10.0). The changes are big it will take a while to get everything working smoothly.

In regard to flashing the DTI8 firmware before flashing the rom update: Is it actually necessary to flash up_param.bin? I can see no change with this file over the different firmware releases. What happens if this is not flashed together with the other necessary files when updating the firmware?

Does anyone else have problems with NFC? GPay does not really work, although both ctsprofile and basic integrity are true and the app itself seems to be working fine. When holding the phone near a payment terminal, it recognizes the phone but it seems that the connection is interrupted immediately after. I get a blue check mark indicating that the payment went through, however after that the app reports that something went wrong and the payment terminal says to repeat the process.
@modpunk I seem to have same/similar connectivity problems with the AusweisApp2 in combination with my ID card. Same behavior, the app starts to read the card and then says that I had removed the ID card, which I did not.

Any help is much appreciated, as I usually use the phone as my primary source for payments.

Pixel 5 and other users now report the same issue. Article is in German, but the video at the end shows the phone's behavior. Hopefully, there will be a fix! :fingers-crossed:

Erm...
So Stef4n82's profile doesn't exist anymore. Does this mean no update to the Heimdall FIrmwares?
The required is DTI8, but the links are only for DTH7.

How do we update now?

It takes longer, but you can flash the full firmware via Odin / Heimdall and then re-install LOS from scratch. Remember backup and stuff.

Well, updating is still not too complicated. My suggestion would be:
a) boot into twrp
b) flash latest lineageos version
c) remove the cable and shut down the phone (via twrp)
d) hold the two buttons and plug in the cable to the phone
e) flash those 9 files mentioned on the first page of this thread
f) done

No need to flash the whole firmware package, those 9 mentioned files are enough.

Bollocks. I was hoping not to do that. I just did it last week after cocking up Magisk Props Hide. Atleast I have titanium.

I hope we wont have to do full reinstalls for each update going forward. Is there any way to compile, or instructions on making a Heimdall patch as Stefan8 did?

You can regularly download the firmware zip, e.g., from samfw.com, and extract the files within this zip using unzip, tar, and lz4, to get the binaries that you need to flash with Heimdall.

    Installation:

    How do I install this ROM on my phone for the first time?
    Below you find a brief checklist of the required installation steps. Installation is more complicated than other ROMs because we take device security very seriously. If you are unfamiliar with installing custom roms , please click the links and read the additional details there.

    • Confirm the firmware version
      • Check the top of the ChangeLog which firmware version is required for the ROM release to work well
      • Go to settings/software-update and update only if the new version matches the requirement!
      • Alternative: flash with odin/heimdall (details see below)
    • Unlock your device
      • Backup all data, unlocking will factory reset your phone
      • Enable developer mode to and enable the OEM-unlock switch there
      • Turn off device and boot to bootloader (hold VolumeDown + Bixby, then connect USB cable)
      • Follow instructions on-screen
      • Finish the initial setup after unlock. You must connect to WiFi, but can skip everything else. Do not specify a pin/pattern during setup afterwards, otherwise TWRP may cause the "try again after 86400 seconds" issue (see below)
      • Confirm in the settings that the bootloader is actually unlocked. (greyed out, telling you its unlocked)
    • Install our TWRP (official thread) | more details (thanks @AndrOdin)
      • Download our TWRP recovery and the vbmeta-disabled.img file
      • Unpack the .xz file with 7zip
      • Check integrity of TWRP (optional, but important for security)
      • Rename files to recovery.img and vbmeta.img; then pack both files together in a .tar archive with 7zip
      • Install Samsung USB drivers and odin, (direct link)
      • Start odin as admin, disable "Auto Reboot" and click "AP "to select the .tar archive
      • Turn off device, boot to bootloader and, once odin detects it, click "Start"
      • When the screen turns off, immediately hold (and keep holding) VolumeUp + Bixby + Power to enter recovery mode
      • When the secondary warning appears, release everything but VolumeUp
      • Swipe slider to allow for modification
    • Install LinageOS
      • copy the ROM ZIP file an external SD card
      • Boot into the recovery
      • Wipe cache + dalvik (wipe->advanced and select cache + dalvik)
      • Format data (wipe->format data, use the dedicated button, wipe->advanced does not work)
      • Flash the ROM (install -> select storage -> micro SD card and select the .zip file)
      • Optional: Flash GAPPS (e.g. OpenGAPPS)
      • Reboot to system

    How do I update LineageOS?
    Updating LinageOS is a lot less work and you can keep all user data. The process is similar to the last part of the installation:

    • Backup all important files optional, but very helpful if something goes wrong)
    • Remove any pin/password/pattern to prevent "retry after 86400 seconds"
    • Copy the ROM ZIP file an external SD card or internal storage; download the new firmware files to PC (if needed)
    • Boot into the recovery, do not reboot until you've installed the new ROM and firmware
    • Flash the ROM (install -> select storage -> micro SD card and select the .zip file)
    • (Optional: Update GAPPS to the latest version)
    • Wipe dalvik and cache
    • Reboot to download
    • Flash new firmware with instructions below
    • (Optional: if you use Magisk, flash the new BOOT file. You can also do this in previous step instead of using Stef4n82's "BL.tar" file.)
    • Reboot to system


    How do I update the firmware?
    On the stock ROM you can update from the settings menu. You can't do this on lineageOS (yet), so ypu need to use use Odin or Heimdall instead.

    How do I update the firmware manually?
    Thanks to @Stef4n82's new instructions and repacked firmware files installation is easier than ever. Below you find a copy of his post:

    If you use Heimdall:

    1. Download the latest firmwarepackge for your device: "G97?F_Firmwareupdate_Heimdall_????.tar.gz"
    2. Extract the package
    3. Flash the firmware files with this command:
    Code:
    heimdall flash \
        --BOOTLOADER sboot.bin \
        --PARAM param.bin \
        --UP_PARAM up_param.bin \
        --CM cm.bin \
        --KEYSTORAGE keystorage.bin \
        --UH uh.bin \
        --DTB dt.img \
        --RADIO modem.bin \
        --CP_DEBUG modem_debug.bin

    If you use Odin:
    1. Download the latest firmwarepackge for your device: "G97?F_Firmwareupdate_Odin_????.zip"
    2. Extract the package and you will get an AP.tar, a BL.tar and a CP...tar.md5
    3. Flash the 3 files with Odin (tested with latest Odin 3.14.x)

    You can download the repacked firmware from the links below.
    1. S10
    2. S10e
    3. S10+

    If you don't want this repacked firmware packages and want to download the whole firmware by your own. Make sure if you flash it via Odin that you use this files:

    1. From AP_G97?FXX*.tar.md5 take the dt.img and create a new AP.tar
    2. CP_G97?FXX*.tar.md5
    3. Extract BL_G97?FXX*.tar.md5 and create a new BL.tar without the vbmeta.img.lz4


    Try again after 86400 seconds?
    With newer version of the Samsung blobs, if you unlock the storage (/data) with TWRP (ie. you enter your pin/password/pattern in TWRP), the trustzone thinks it is a failed attempt and will lock the storage unlocking for 1 day (86400 seconds). To prevent this do not enter your pin (press cancel) and you can still flash an update. If you tripped the trustzone you can either wayt for 1 day to unlock your device (do not power it off) or try rebooting the phone a few times (thanks @Stef4n82), or this slightly more detailed guide (thanks @Exilion90)

    You can prevent this completely by removing any pin/password/pattern before entering recovery. This does remove all stored fingerprints, so you'll have to set the up again after the update.



    3rd Party Software:

    How do I install Google apps?
    You can download and install the Google Apps from Open Gapps Project. You need ARM64 and 10.x. We suggest to always use the pico package. If you need additional apps you find them in the Play Store.

    Put the Open Gapps ZIP file on your SD card and flash it directly after you flashed LineageOS and before the first boot!


    Can I use GPay? What about other banking apps
    GPay as well as some other banking apps check if the device passes safetynet and will not start if it doesn't. Safetynet fails when the bootloader is unlocked and therefore this ROM will not run GPay and other applications that need it. This official LineageOS statement explains why safetynett will never by bypassed (by default).

    Safetynet used to be easy to bypass with Magisk, but since an Update eralier this year Google uses the TPM module and that can't be circumvented easily. However there might be a workaround with "MagiskHide Props Config", please check out this post and this one. (thanks @Stef4n82) Please note that this has not yet been tested and we can not provide any support. If you got it working on your device, please share how you've done it so we can add it here!

    How do I get MicroG with this ROM?
    MicroG is an open source alternative to GAPPS. , but unfortunately not recently updated and therefore not recommended.

    If you want to install it anyway, read this guide by @JoeRifle and this post (appendum) by @ned14 . Update: It has been reported that the new MicroG version works without issues. (thanks @ichmyselfandi)


    Does this ROM have root?
    Not by default. If you need root (eg. for AFWall) you can get it through Magisk.

    How do I install Magisk?
    Important security Advice: Don't flash Magisk modules or anything else which sets SELinux to permissive or you open your device for malware!

    Option 1 (recommended):

    • Download the boot image for Magisk: S10e -- S10 -- S10+
    • Verify the integrity of the file -> See INTEGRITY
    • Unzip the boot image using xz or p7zip
    • (Needed for Odin) Rename the file to boot.img and use 7zip to pack it into a .tar file
    • Flash the boot image to the BOOT partition using Odin, Heimdall or TWRP
    • Install https://******************/

    Option 2:


    Which camera app do you suggest?
    OpenCamera:
    Great open source app that supports a lot of the camera's features with the camera API v2 (select this option in the settings):
    • All cameras supported (except telephoto, this is a issue with the ROM)
    • Manual change of exposure, aperture, shutter speed, ISO
    • The (main) developer uses an S10e himself so you can expect good HW support :p
    You can get it from F-Droid or Play Store

    GCam Variants:
    There is no "official" GCam for this ROM, but there are some that work. Please read this excelent post by @ned14 for more details. The current recommendation is "GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_IDan_N6_3.5_fix.apk" from (IDan). You need GAPPS, microG (post) or the Google Service Framework(post).

    In comparison to OpenCamera it sacrifices manual controls + extra lenses for:
    • simpler user interface
    • better single-shot HDR
    • better panoramas + photospheres
    • SlowMo video (1080p @120/240fps)
    I've also written a more detailed comparison. You can have both camera apps installed at the same time, so you can always choose the better one depending on the scenario.


    Getting Help:

    General:
    Before you post, please check this FAQ, use the search function and skim the few last pages of this thread. We want LinageOS to work on your device, that's the whole point of this thread, but this way you can get the fastest help. If you did not find an answer, feel free to ask here :) We do this in out free time and it may take us some time to answer, so please be patient.

    How to report a bug?
    To fix any bug we first have to be able to reproduce it. Please include all relevant information:
    • device (S10e/S10/S10+)
    • ROM version
    • is gapps/ microg/ magisk installed?
    • steps to reproduce the issue

    When in doubt it's better to include to 0much information than too little. A good example is @Sheffield Steve's bug report. Check out Simon's "How to Report Bugs Effectively" to write even better reports (and thus get better help).

    How to create a logfile?
    To get an even better insight into your issue, a logfile can help us a lot. On Android this is called "logcat". Short logcats are best. They contain less fluff which makes finding the issue easier. Here are the steps how to create a log with adb:

    • install adb drivers
    • open cmd and navigate to the adb file eg. cd C:\Users\<user>\Desktop\platform-tools
    • Connect your phone via USB
    • Select "Allow USB Debugging" on the popup on the phone (see below how to activate it)
    • Clear the log using: adb logcat -c
    • Start loggingwith: adb logcat | tee beyond.log
    • Reproduce the issue
    • Stop logging by pressing CTRL+c
    • Send us the log (in a PM)

    How do I enable USB Debugging?
    To enable USB Debugging you need to do the following steps:

    • Go to Settings -> About Phone
    • Look for Build number
    • Tap on Build Number several times till you get the message that Developer Options have been enabled
    • Go to Settings -> System -> Advanced -> Developer Options
    • Enable USB Debugging

    What is difference between this and Ivan's lineage os?

    The most obvious one is that we provide SELinux enforcing and care about security and privacy. For the rest I can't give you an answer as Ivan doesn't want to release the source of his device tree. It would be great if Ivan would join our effort and contribute.
