[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][8.1.0][tb8703f/x/r/n] LineageOS 15.1 for Lenovo TAB 3 8 plus P8

[nothingman1976]

Hello Again. Ihave a question related to the Lineage Updates. Is any way to update device using the built in option that comes with the ROM.

Settings>System>About>LineageOS Updates

Thanks.

I think that this option works only on official build, and highwaystar's build is unofficial.

Solved

Well thats odd because it all sounds right

Maybe you give this a try :

Go to wipe , Advanced Wipe:
Check Dalvik / Art Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Cache

After that go back to the Wipe Mainmenu
Click on Format Data (Should normaly not be needed but i would give it a try in this case)

Reboot to recovery after that.

Go to install
Choose the LOS15.1 , click on "Add more Zips" and Choose the OpenGApps ARM-64, 8.1, pico package
when the installing is done click on Sign Boot wait 2 seconds and reboot

Go thru the Setup Wizzard and it all should work.

If this works you can reboot to recovery and flash magisk, i tested with 16 and 16.7 both work here. (Dont forget to click sign boot after that)

I do as you suggest. Problems starts in Setup Wizard, including not forced restarts

then I can finish Setup, but problems with Google Apps and any internet browser occur as always, and soon Android crash and even don't restart.
I will try wipe, format and install LOS14.1 with OpenGApps ARM-64, 7.1, pico ,however I'm not optimist with this

Throwing through the window still is an option

Yes, it woks!!
After several times trying with different dolby for oreo, finally I found a combination for to work.
It is necessary magisk, and install both zips (dolby and viper) for to work well with dolby.

Links about zips for Viper and Dolby:

I tested the same files on AEX ROM, and it works anyway.

Enjoy!!

It is necessary to wipe system, data and caché minimum for to work well with ROM and gapps.
If not, a format data is always recomended.

Thank you!
On previous post I write about my problems with Gapps, well... I use new version and it's better. Now the problems are only rarely and until now no system restarts. Will see after some time, but for me: best ROM until this time. Fantastic:

Activating the hotspot still crashes the tablet.

Hi I want to share something interesting. In developer settings I Found a native root access panel for apps in Lineage OS. Actually I saw that panel only show me root access for ADB only. After some minutes of research online in the Lineage Site and I Found a (.zip) file that can be flashed in order to have root access using the built-in option of the ROM without external apps.

Obviously you need to Flash It using TWRP and then Sign the Boot.

:victory:

 

[TheZenny]

This requires actual device. But tab 4 8 plus has working boot unlocking and kenrel sources, wonder why no one made it yet.

Lineage 15.1 update:
2018-08-24

• Fixed system crash when using WiFi hotspot mode
• Updated Lineage code

I hope someone will eventually do it. :/

 

[Sora94]

Thanks for your excellent job, I am happy to see this tablet getting support.

Hello
I have a big problem I can not install LineageOS 15.1 anymore.
I made a clean installation of original twrp impossible to install. patching system image unconditionally ..... and never installs
?????

 

[MrColdbird]

Thank you so much for this.

Your work has turned a cheap trashy 80€ tablet into one of the best bang for the buck devices out there.

This device has essentially turned into a worthy Nexus successor thanks to this.

here it is..

*** Update****

So I just realised I hadn't updated TWRP to the new boot-signed version.

It won't let me do flash that via fastboot as it says " FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed " - I assume this is because my bootloader is not unlocked.

I did try using 'fasboot oem unlock" but that does not work.

I tried to use QFIL to flash the updated TWRP but it won't recognise the device on any port as obviously it is not going into stock recovery when - it is going into TWRP...

Any other ideas?

Any help is most appreciated - many thanks in advance.



*******Update #2*****

Thanks to WBN1 as below, all sorted and installed - many thanks!

Will let you know how it goes!

Many thanks again for all your hard work!

Someone could help me, I have the same problem. He succeeded but did not report how. Thanks

For to update to new TWRP from another one, just download the image file .img.
In TWRP, press INSTALL, INSTALL IMAGE, select the file TWRP.img downloaded, select the partition RECOVERY and flash it. After that, REBOOT RECOVERY. This will boot to new TWRP.

I'm with TWRP 3.2.1 and even then I can not install the rom!

"FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed) "
I get
"updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file "xxxxxxxxxx"

TWRP 3.2.1 ( boot signing).

I have not tried data format.

What would be the steps I have to do before installing the rom?
