LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9.0 (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.

What's working

  • RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
  • Bluetooth
  • Wi-Fi
  • Camera
  • Video Recording
  • Video Playback
  • Audio ( Record and Playback )
  • Sensors
  • Flash
  • Led

What's not working

  • Active Edge
  • Feel free to report any other issues you may encounter with relevant logs

Installation

  1. Download the latest supported Lineage OS build, TWRP image and optionally gapps and the TWRP installer zip.
  2. Reboot to bootloader
  3. Wipe userdata (fastboot erase userdata)
  4. Fastboot into TWRP recovery
  5. Flash the latest build of Lineage OS
  6. Reboot to bootloader and fastboot TWRP again
  7. (Optional) Flash gapps of choice (OpenGapps mini or smaller are recommended)
  8. Reboot to system and don't install the TWRP app
  9. (Optional) Flash custom kernel / TWRP / Magisk

A more detailed installation guide can be found here.

Updates

Simply update from the Lineage Updater in Settings and reboot or repeat steps 4 - 10. You shouldn't need to flash factory images as all partitions (firmware, vendor etc.) are updated with the lineage zip. Gapps MUST be reflashed if taking an update via Lineage recovery or TWRP. Lineage updater will automatically restore gapps up to nano in size.

****ty, this happened to me before from flashing an old ROM by mistake.
Have you tried booting? Either way you'll have to format your data to decrypt the file system.
If it doesn't boot you'll have to adb side load stock ota and start over. A type c thumb drive loaded with files you need comes in handy when this happens.
I'll wait till I'm home before flashing this to see what's up.
