[ROM][OFFICIAL][discovery][9] LineageOS 16.0

[LuK1337]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Instructions :

• Download the latest build and gapps
• Boot to recovery
• Flash the latest build
• Boot to recovery again
• Flash gapps
• Reboot

Downloads :

• Builds : https://download.lineageos.org/discovery
• Root addon : https://download.lineageos.org/extras
• Google Apps : https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html

Reporting Bugs

• DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
• If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)
• If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

How to flash latest firmware

[ protip: 20191010+ builds require 50.2 FW (at least bluetooth, dsp, modem from it) If you're still running 50.1 you can flash this package in TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261769960 unless you're fine with having partially broken audio and broken Egistec fingerprint sensor ;3 ]

However if you want to flash whole firmware package onto both slots, you can follow the guide below:

1. Download latest firmware with XperiFirm.
NOTE: When using mono XperiFirm will fail to unpack the firmware, you can do it manually using following commands:

for f in FILE_*; do unzip $f; done
unzip boot.zip -d boot

2. Go to the directory where the firmware got downloaded to and remove following files:
- boot_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
- boot_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
- persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
- persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
- system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
- system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
- system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash
- system_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
- system_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
- system_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash
- userdata_X-FLASH-CUST-18AE.sin
- vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash
- vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin
- vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash
3. Turn off your phone, hold vol dn and plug in the USB cable, the screen should be off and green LED lit.
4. Run Newflasher, it'll flash entire FW to your current slot then unplug the USB cable and power on your phone.
5. Turn off your phone, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable, the screen should be off and blue LED lit.
6. Enter this command: `fastboot getvar current-slot`, it should return something like this:
current-slot: _b
Finished. Total time: 0.001s
7. Now switch to the opposite slot by entering command: `fastboot set_active a` if the current slot is `_b` or `fastboot set_active b` if its `_a`, you should see this:
Setting current slot to 'a'...
OKAY [ 0.012s]
Finished. Total time: 0.014s
or
Setting current slot to 'b'...
OKAY [ 0.012s]
Finished. Total time: 0.014s
8. Unplug usb cable and repeat steps: 3, 4
9. Profit?

the system works well. However the 15.1 root addon seems not working on 16.
In the developer options, I do see root access option for apps/adb, but doesn't matter which one is chosen, still no root access.

Who'd have thought that something meant to be used with 15.1 won't work with 16.0.

I can't seem to get the radio working after following these instructions. I downloaded the latest firmware for my phone. H223 Customized US. Flash seemed to go fine. When typing the fastboot command I get the following error: Setting current slot to '`' FAILED (remote: 'Invalid Slot Suffix')
Finished. Total time: 0.004s

I tried setting it manually to both A and B but neither worked. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong

In my case, while an app is launching, the screen will freeze about a second. Once it is launched, it runs smoothly.

Many thanks for your outstanding contribution. I have flashed build 02.03.2019, gapps nano, rooted with magisk 18.1 and it is working pretty much good exept few things. Every time after instaling any magisk module phone is going to bootloop right after restarting, volume up and power 2,3 times fix the restart. Fingerprint reader stop working and it's menu disapper sometimes from settings/securitym,restart helps. Button recent sometimes does not show recent apps, restart helps. Chrome FC after attemt to instal any apk downloaded. No downloaded galery app is allowed to delete any picture from storage. Radio FM is working really well, much better than stock one.

Update to 20190304 with "updater" (OTA) gives a bootloop? Can i download new build, flash using TWRP and Keep user data?

You probably have mismatched firmware between A and B if that's a thing. Follow #2.

But is there a way to flash the update in twrp or the lineage recovery?

What update?

 

[Aklenz07]

What update?

The ROM update?

 

[LuK1337]

The ROM update?

Why would you do that?

 

[Aklenz07]

Why would you do that?

Because I get a bootloop if I do the normal way and I don't have time to do #2 to get it working.
