[ROM][OFFICIAL][gta4xl/gta4xlwifi][11] LineageOS 18.1 for Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

[...]
Apply update from SD (zip on SD card) - failed Error 21 Signature verification failed
Apply update sideload - failed Error 21 Signature verification failed

Where is the Problem?

Check your recovery output. It maybe says verification failed and asks if you want to flash anyway.
So just select Yes to flash anyway as the zip doesn't provide a signature to check.

Hi,
I've got this Error 21 Signature error, too. Flash Anyway is not possible.
Another ideas? Thank you

Double check that you actually booted lineage recovery, you wouldn't be the first one trying to sideload it in stock recovery ... because lineage recovery wasn't flashed successfully or stock replaced it again (disable auto reboot when flashing)
In lineage recovery you shouldn't get such errors unless your zip is corrupted

Hi, I have volume buttons wake device ON because i rather not use the double tap to wake gesture. But volume button to wake up device only works RIGHT after I turn off the screen myself. or if i have music playing.
If the display turns off itself from timeout or if i turn off the screen and wait a few minutes, volume button will not wake up the device. Is this only happening to me?

Hello all.
Thanks a lot to @Linux4 for providing the Lineage OS builds/images/roms for gta4xlwifi. I've been using them for a while now and everything worked fine.
I try to keep my devices updated and normally install each weekly image for Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (Wi-Fi) via the "Updater" in "Settings".
With the latest image (lineage-18.1-20210728-nightly-gta4xlwifi-signed.zip) I noticed a bug:
Using the pen for click-draging/scrolling seems to be broken (touch-drag with finger still works)

Enabling "Pointer location" in "Developer options" shows the pen movement is recognized as a very short movement(?) (no scrolling/dragging happens) and a consequent click/touch. The click/touch event is performed as soon as the pen is lifted but at the beginning of the path, at the dot of the second picture with the blue line – see attached pics.

Dragging with the finger works as expected and produces the pattern below (where you can see the dots as the scrolling/dragging was updated)

It still works as expected for me, make sure there's nothing interfering with the pen, on another device with spen I've seen magnetic covers causing some issues similar to this one.

@Linux4 – thanks for the fast reply. I've tried different locations/surfaces for the tablet and two different pens and got the same behaviour with 20210728.

I've just re-installed lineage-18.1-20210714-nightly-gta4xlwifi-signed.zip via adb sideloading and with the same pen and tablet still in the same location on the table pen-dragging works again.

Then I've re-installed lineage-18.1-20210728-nightly-gta4xlwifi-signed.zip via the "Updater" and dragging/scrolling with the pen stopped working.

I'm gonna try sideloading 20210728 via adb and otherwise revert to 20210714 till the next update or dig deeper if I find the time.

Edit3:

I've built the image myself (following these instructions) and get the same behaviour: pen does not work for drag/scroll

 

[kramred]

I've found the cause due to this comment about accessibility features.
As you can see in my screen shots I had Magnification shortcut turned on (the person icon in the bottom right corner).

When you turn on "Settings" → "Accessibility" → "Magnification" → "Magnification shortcut" the pen stops working for drag/scroll. Turning "Magnification shortcut" off leads to working drag/scroll with the pen…

Thank you for this ROM, I consider buying a Tab S6 Lite now.

That's a great idea. I am very happy with this rom, my tablet has increased its value, specially on the issue of storage capacity, It's also more light and fast .

 

[G.Foscor]

very fast, download the app, name it as .ZIP, copy it to the external SD card and flash it using the linear recovery ....
.or go to recovery and sideload the magisk APK, that's it

Work fine for me, I have flashed the magisk-xx-.zip from sdcard, now my tab s6 lite it's perfectly rooted, many thanks.

does anyone know how to remedy ODIN MODE (AVB Fail)?

I had lineage-18.1-20210616 installed fine but thought the bootloader should be locked because it was still unlocked. So I locked it...boom...

Torquise screen reads:
ODIN MODE (AVB Fail)
vbmeta: Error verifying vbmeta image: OK_NOT_SIGNED (3)
CUSTOM VBMETA
VBMETA : No sign info
VBMETA ,

With the words downloading... in the middle of the screen.

Any ideas?

You can't relock bootloader with something custom installed on these devices.
You'll need to install full unmodified stock once and go through initial installation instructions again.

 

[WayneJacob]

Thank you! Is there any guide on how to install a full unmodified stock?

Hi, this tablet is supposed to be Widevine L1 certified, but with LineageOS only L3 seems to be available. Any solution to this?

There is only one family of devices that Lineage has with L1 and that is the S10 family.All others have L3 from Netflix as soon as the bootloader is unlocked, if you rooted the device on stick it also has L3

I have a few questions, I bought an S6 Lite off Offerup that the guy had tried to put LineageOS on (I'm assuming) it's soft bricked saying the bootloads unlocked and stuck in a bootloop. It has TWRP installed on it. I looked at the guide linked here and it says to use hiemdall. I did some Googling here but I'm not sure what I need to do. My thought was to download the stock rom and reflash it back to factory in TWRP and go from there. But I'm not finding anything for the US tablet. Just other coutries and unknown.

If someone could point me to a good guide to get this tablet back to how it came from the factory, or a guide that I can install LineageOS with TWRP - I did Google and found a guide, and thought since the tablet already didn't boot it wouldn't hurt anything to try. I copied lineage-18.1-20210811-nightly-gta4xlwifi-signed to the TWRP dir and tried installing it. Still stuck in the bootloop. The guy who I bought it from didn't back up the stock rom so I can't do a restore that way.

I'm not confident about what I need to do here, and I'm finding different things on Google so I'm not sure what to follow.

I did ask the guy what he did exactly, he told me he followed a Youtube video but couldn't even tell me which one. He's not sure what he did exactly.

 

[mu1989]

There is a simple solution, please read the official install guide and flash the lineage recovery. TWRP is designed for android 10 without FBE. Since it causes more problems than it helps (as in your example), the developer has discontinued TWRP.

Flash the linlineage recovery and everything will be fine (this one is right next to the build at downloads.lineage.org

Hi,
sorry to bother you all with a basic question on Page 8, but I am really stuck here and cannot proceed.
I followed the official instructions to install Lineageos 18.1. Regarding the installation of the custom recovery: I think the installation works for me with Heimdall and I also tried Odin. Tablet is in Download Mode, I flash the recovery, I can see the progress bar on the tablet, and also Odin says "Pass". Then, I remove the USB cable from the tablet.

OK, now I have to boot into recovery, but I always fail! At first, I hold Power+Volume down, and after some seconds, the screen turns black - and then, I am lost! I immediately hold Power+Volume Up, but still the normal boot process starts. Any hints what I am missing here? What about the USB cable? After flashing, I remove the USB cable. I think booting into recovery should work without USB cable plugged in, right?
Any other ideas? Thanks!

If your device is running oneui 3 firmware already it will only boot recovery while USB cable is plugged into a PC
Instructions tell you that tho
