Thanks for your answer.

Out of curiosity, I installed the same version of TWRP as you (3.4.0-0 v2) and I've compared the differences with the latest TWRP (3.4.0-0 v3).

There's an interesting difference between TWRP 3.4.0-0 version 2 and the version 3 when I Format the Data (see photos attached), but in the end I have the exact same result with the internal encrypted partition, doesn't asks for PIN/password to decrypt it.

That's really a shame that we can't figure out what's wrong here ... I've just bought this S10e and I can't really feel confident to start using it if I can't do Nandroid backups :confused:

If any other person has some ideas/suggestions, I will be happy to take the time needed to give them a try.

I have the same problem, I used TWRP 3-4-0-0 version 3 since the new installation, I had no problems until LineageOS version 1 or 1.1. But since then I cannot create backups with TWRP (from Data), although I have not changed anything else. So it must be already a general problem. I also have a S10E.

I can confirm this sensor is working well in RC1 on the S10. Its SpO2 results vary a lot by how hard you press your finger, but that's identical to stock. The heart rate though is very accurate, and captures even the second shock wave after the heart beat very nicely.

Hey, sorry to interrupt you, how are you testing heart rate sensor? I haven't met any app using this sensor yet. Most of Google Play apps just use the camera.

Also, tried to use Samsung Health, but I failed successfully trying it.

Hi,

I used your script to update from 1.2 to 1.4, so far all seems ok. Thanks for your help (and thanks to modpunk for the awesome ROM of course :)

I've just installed v1.4 in my S10e. It's my first custom in this mobile and so far, so good but just two caveats:

in this build the proximity sensor blinks in ambient display ?

I've seen tonight a pixel like flashing and supposed it was a little fail in my unit. Now I've seen it was proximity sensor and yes, it was blinking. Workarounds?

I can't manage to disable ambient, also. As I'm using Zoiper I've a constant notify and so ambient light is always on. Did you correct it?

You have to add the AOD tile in the tiles edit, then you can highlight on or off.

And the result is a little bit different, as TWRP is still not asking for my PIN, but I can see the list of encrypted files on the internal /sdcard partition and on the /data/system partition (see photos attached).

I've the same issue too (it was ok on 1.1). Now /data /data/system and internal /sdcard is encrypted, when accessed from TWRP

Another problem, although somehow known since LOS 16: Android Auto does not work. USB not recognized by car unit.

I don't really understand all the problems.

Yes, TWRP cannot access the encrypted data on the phone. It does not even ask for unencryption.

But:

Yes, I can nevertheless still dirty flash the ROM updates fron this thread. Doing it all the time. (I don't really mind if you call them OTAs or whatever.)

The only "problem" is that you have to access the downloaded ZIP from TWRP in order to flash ist. Which means you cannot use your internal data storage for the file. That's why I use an SD card formatted as portable storage for all that stuff I don't need encrypted but easily accessible. Problem solved.

Encryption is not an issue, it's a security feature!

And as I understand the intention of this ROM, it strives to keep the security features enabled and not disable all of them. So I guess this proposal contradicts the developper's intention when creating the ROM.

The issue those guys have is that they cannot make a full nandroid backup of their phone at the moment. That's a big limitation.

I wasn't suggesting getting rid of encryption. Finding out why TWRP is failing to decrypt on some phones/versions is the goal and that may help.

I've been rooting my S10e by flashing Magisk onto the boot partition (using the file magisk_boot_beyond0_dtja_v1.3.img), like explained in the OP.

But I've just realized that I need to temporary remove root in order to install some very pain-in-the-ass security oriented banking and ID-card related apps.

Is there a way to remove Magisk from the boot partition without having to wipe/format any data ?

And if so, what is the right way to do it ?

EDIT : Nevermind, the problem is most likely due to the fact that the SatefyNet check is failing because I'm using microG :cry:

Yes, your half right. I've just flashed the new ROM and it works fine.

All the same, I spent a lot more time making a proper backup with other tools before doing so. Also, I wanted to update some Magisk modules and had to do so with the knowledge that if my phone went into a bootloop I could not stop that by disabling the Magisk module from TWRP.

On another note: really great to have glove mode, I've recently replaced my screen protector with one that is slightly too thick, so this improves the experience by a leap.

It seems like multiple Samsung models are experiencing issues with the SIM Toolkit app, which is sometimes used by some mobile phone providers to provide Identity-based authentication (like for login on banking apps).

There has been an issue opened on LineageOS's gitlab page, but since this issue is only impacting Samsung phones, nobody has picked it and it got closed.

gitlab.com

STK / SIM toolkit (#185) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Expected Behavior I have a SIM card with additional functionality for identification and login. A dialog pops up and I am...
gitlab.com gitlab.com

I'm having this problem too, where I'm unable to validate my PIN input exactly like explained in the ticket.

Please find in the attached zip file a binary patch (.bsdiff) and a objdump patch (.diff) to show the differences in the ARM32 disassembly, in case the binary patch ever fails and a new one must be derived. Changes:

1. In _ZN7android29ExynosCameraMetadataConverter49m_createScalerAvailableStreamConfigurationsOutputEPKNS_26ExynosCameraSensorInfoBaseEPNS_6VectorIiEE@@Base, we do NOT take two branches based on the presumably zero contents of offsets #24 and #28.

2. In _ZN7android29ExynosCameraMetadataConverter40m_createScalerAvailableMinFrameDurationsEPKNS_26ExynosCameraSensorInfoBaseEPNS_6VectorIxEE@@Base, we similarly do NOT take the branch based on the presumably zero contents of offset #24.

To test, in TWRP I took the original libexynoscamera3.so from my phone from /vendor/lib. I applied the binary patch. I copied back the patched file. I rebooted.

You should immediately notice the difference! In OpenCamera, now the front camera is overexposed. Colours are good, but a bit too bright. I also tried zgcam, now the front camera works, also overexposed. I also tried idan's gcam 5.1 for RAW front cameras, that also works, but only on first execute. The next time you run it it crashes, and keeps crashing. So I cannot recommend that gcam 5.1 over the one I already did.

If you do decide to apply this patch by default, I'd recommend backing off the default exposure for the front camera a bit. I'd also get someone more into photography to give it more testing, and perhaps to suggest a default exposure for RAW front camera so it matches non-RAW front camera.

I haven't ported the patch to the arm64 libexynoscamera3.so. I'm out of time today, but I'll look into that tomorrow. No idea how many 64 bit camera apps there are mind you, but completeness is a virtue.

Does the patch file still apply for the current LOS version ? I just recently updated and my ZGCAM stopped working due to no newly available libexynoscamera3.so.
Furthermore your patch enables only the front camera, right ? It does not bring the wide angle camera online....

I recently installed LOS on my Samsung 10 with microG like so:

  • Followed the standard install guide on this page, and installed the Magisk boot image.
  • Right after install, I boot into TWRP, Mount System partition, open terminal go to /system/app/ and did rm-r UnifiedNLP, NominatimNlpBackend, and IchnaeaNlpBackend
  • After reboot, I install MicroG, FakeGapps Xposed Module, Fakestore release, Mozilla Backend, Nominatim Address Backend from
One of the problematic things was signature spoofing. Since I wasn’t too keen on patching, I installed

Riru- Core and Riru – EdXposed

using this guide: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/install-systemless-xposed-almost-any-android-phone-0199790/

Everything is working and MicroG passes all checks, but my question now is:

How do I update LOS?

If I just download the updated image, and install it, what do I do about step 2? Can I just repeat it and delete the 3 folders?

Please read the script first and use at your own risk. Although it worked the last two times when I upgraded the firmware on my S10e.

The script assumes you used Frija to download the firmware. Further you need to have some small tools installed on your Linux machine: "md5sum", "unzip", "tar" and "lz4". Also the script will not flash the firmware via heimdall, but only unpack the needed files to one folder, so the heimdall-command can be run like this:
[...]

main $1[/CODE]

Great script ! Thank you. I suggest to include it in the FAQ as it is really helpful for updating to the necessary firmware without using Odin.

    • reboot to recovery boots directly into system (fixed in RC2)
    • reboot takes long, about 30s (fixed in RC2, now it only takes a few seconds)
    • double tap to wake not always working (should be fixed in RC2)
    • holding fingerprint too long during setup can cause problems details
    • in full screen apps there may be a black bar to hide the camera cutout which can not be disabled (details, workaround)
    • high sensitivity touch screen / "glove mode" not available (details)
    • bixby-button hold-shortcut does not work (details)
    • google backup does not work with 4x4 or 5x5 pattern. This is an LineageOS issue, but important enough to deserve a note here. (details (thanks @Ivo_Todorov)


    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?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    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.
