[ROM][OFFICIAL][capricorn][8.1] LineageOS 15.1

That depends on how old was the firmware you had installed with your last MIUI update. Better update firmware at this point than struggle later.



unfortunately this is not descriptive enough for me / it doesn't ring a bell:
- are you sure that you have your data partition unmounted in step 1 of my instruction?
- what does it mean "I can't CHANGE FILESYSTEM -> EXT4."? you can't click it or what?
- on the bottom right corner of TWRP there is an icon you can click to show TWRP console / log. Make a screenshot of it after your failed attempt.

How do I check this: "are you sure that you have your data partition unmounted in step 1 of my instruction?" ?
When I go to "MOUNT", data is unclicked.

I tried this "2. Format DATA using advanced wipe, i.e: WIPE -> ADVANCED WIPE -> select 'DATA' -> REPAIR OR CHANGE FILESYSTEM -> CHANGE FILESYSTEM -> EXT4", but in the command window an error message appeared related to "failed to mount data" or something like that. And I was not able to do it.

Next time, I will include a log. I don't know how to solve this problem.

PD: Does rebooting to recovery from twrp help? It's something I've read in another post.

Here you have what appears on the screen when I click on Wipe >> Format Data. What else should I do?
(Ignore the last line)

Strange, looks a bit like Data partition is mounted and in use, but I'm not sure.
I would try sth like going to terminal and writing

mount | grep dm-0

to make sure Data is really unmounted (there should be empty result of this command).
What else come to my mind - Do you have this phone connected to a computer while in TWRP? Perhaps your computer is using Data partition through MTP protocol - there is button in mount section to disable MTP.

>there should be empty result of this command
Yeah, in case of `this` command the result will be always empty xD

Eventually, I could format data and install the ROM.
I am not sure what was the problem. I think the reason was the conection with the PC. When I repeated the process without the USB connected, all was fine.

Thanks.

Too much of mdadm

Nice to hear!

I have some questions. I have Lineage 15.1 and the latest official TWRP.

1. How do I root? Should I use the root of the Lineage official webpage or magisk? I would like to keep using apps like Pokémon Go, Netflix, banks...
2. What are the advantages of rooting? Which apps do you recommend me? eg: Adway to block ads...
3. Would it be possible to "delete/eliminate" the root afterwards?

Thanks.

I have a issue. Yestarday I installed the 18-january-nightly through the previous one with the Lineage updater through TWRP.
I don't know if that matters.

The problem is that I am not receiving notifications in some apps. For example, in Telegram I have to open the app to see the notifications.
In addition, in Gmail I open the app and also do not receive new emails. I hace to refresh the box manually to see if I have new emails rather than getting them automatically. (The synchronization is activated). With Google Calendar, the same issue.
Any solution?

Same problem, it made me change to lineage 16.0 and everything is good now

Yesterday I installed LOS16, but an important app did not work on this version.

So i restored my LOS15 backup with TWRP 3.2.3. After that system did not boot normal, but alway just booted to fastboot.
I tried to restore only system and data, then tried restoring boot and efs partitions too. but always got the same result: fastboot.
Finally I did a fresh install of xiaomi rom and LOS15 and everything booted fine again.

Have I done something wrong with backup/restore, oder may the backup just have been corrupted?

BTW: I am now on 22-feb-nightly and have no problems with notifications so far.

in order to restore, u need to flash ROM first (same ROM that u do with backup before) and then u can restore it. i do this way and everything is ok.

You mean xiaomi ROM which is first flashed, or lineage ROM which was installed at backup time?

lineage ROM installed at backup time

Any news about that issue?

Is there someplace where I can still download the last LOS 15.1 build for Capricorn ?

I'm running a build from 2019/03/16 and would like to try LOS 16, but I'd like to be able to revert to LOS15.1 if call recording isn't working.

I heard you shout : "SIMPLY DO A TWRP BACKUP !", of course I would, but in my experience, sometime it's not enought...
