Hi, I am a bit of new flashing lineage OS to my Tablet. I have tried flashing TWRP and when I open TWRP I get the following message "Failed to Mount /system (Invalid Argument)".

I have tried wiping the ext4 and ext2 and even using f2fs.

The statement Formatting System using mkfs.f2fs takes forever and does not complete.

Please let me know if there is anything I'm missing or doing wrong here.

An Update on this I have finally installed Lineage OS and can boot into it.

Now when I try installing GApps, it says Mounting Partitions and takes forever.

Any leads here are appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Ah, alright, I think I also got that problem once, the way I did it was mount the /system partition first in Mount option in TWRP, after that I install Gapps.

I have wiped everything and re-started the process from scratch. Now everything installed correctly both the Lineage OS and GApps. Looks like taking one at a time now.

Trying to install Magisk and I get the following error:

Updater Process ended with ERROR:1

Well, I didn't even try Magisk yet, so I cannot help you with that, also do you mind telling me how do you go back to stock ROM? Qfil?

I am a newbie in this area. I have used the advance wipe option to wipe out my system and reinstalled the custom ROM. May be a similar kind of process.

Just an update, Magisk is also now successfully installed!! Thank you!!

Worked great on my TB-8504F until a few days ago. Now the wifi is very spotty. It never drops connection to the router but web pages, videos etc. just time out. The progress bar on my browser will get to about 50% and just hang. Oddly enough, this is a known issue with the stock rom -

Wifi Issues with Lenovo Tab 4 8

It mentions 5Ghz with Tab 4 Plus but there are also issues with the Tab 4 connecting to 2.4Ghz bands too. This was thought to be a software issue but maybe it's hardware? Any ideas? I'm just about ready to throw this tablet in the trash. No wifi = useless.

Router config is 2.4GHz WPA/WPA2. Tested 2.4GHz using my phone and it works fine so I think the tablet is the problem.

I can try to port Ubuntu Touch or Plasma Mobile because I have some experience with it. Just tell me if I should start ;)
Lenovo TB-8504X meets all the requirements Halium needs so it shouldn't be a problem. However, this is the first time I'm going to port Halium 9.0.

    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.

    Managed to install Lineage on my TB-8504F, but it doesnt get past the Lineage boot animation, no matter how long I leave it.

    Pushed TWRP to Recovery, formatted as required. Had to amend the Lineage image to remove the device checks, as although I definately have TB-8504F, it didnt like that TWRP reported it as TB_8504f - ?

    Installed and installed GAPPS, cant get past load screen.

    I do have a backup, so not concerned, but frustrated!

    Any help appreciated

    Same issue here. Did you manage to resolve it?
    Click to expand...

    Hey, just spent all day resolving this issue. I remembered seeing you two running into it as well, and wanted to make sure I came back here and follow up.

    First, the solution: (I think these steps should work for both TB-8504f and TB-8504x variants, and honestly could be used with just about for any Lenovo device)
    - Download and install Lenovo's "Rescue and Smart Assistant" software (Looks like it's Windows only, PM me if you're on Linux or MacOS and I'll try and share the stock image when I get time) https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
    - The program is pretty straightforward, but select "Rescue" -> "Lenovo Tablet" -> "Lenovo Tab4 8" -> etc. and select your device as precisely as you can.
    - Download the stock image (mine was about 2gb) and when it finishes click "Rescue Now"
    - Follow the instructions exactly - I tried to ignore parts about unplugging, turning it off, plugging it back in, etc because I thought they were walking me through booting into recovery. It seems like there really is some proprietary thing that kicks the restoration off when you plug the usb cable in with the device off while holding the "Volume Up" button.
    - Once it finishes, you should boot back into the stock OS. It does take a while - I thought it was stuck in another bootloop, so I restarted my device once, but it eventually got past the boot screen.

    From there, following the instructions in the OP should work.
    - If you're reading this then you've probably already unlocked your bootloader, but just in case reboot into the bootloader and run "fastboot oem unlock-go"
    - Then flash the version of TWRP linked in this post (v3.3.x, NOT the one linked in the large TWRP post for this device, which I believe is v3.2.x)
    - Reboot into recovery (I had to physically do this, as the fastboot command kept rebooting me into the OS for some reason)
    - Wipe Data -> Swipe for Factory Reset -> Advanced Settings -> Change "System", "Data", and "Cache" to use "F2FS" for the filesystem (this file system is a little faster than Ext4, but not at all necessary)
    - From the home menu go to Advanced -> ADB Sideload and load the ROM, then load Gapps (I used Nano)
    - That's it! It does take a little time to boot, so don't get scared and think you're in another boot loop. Eventually you'll see the setup wizard.

    What I think happened is that somewhere earlier in the thread someone uploaded an ADB backup file for the TB-8504x with instructions on restoring it via ADB, and that messed something up in the vendor file for my TB-8504f.

    Or, whatever firmware the tablet originally had was not fully compatible with this ROM or TWRP version, and whatever stock firmware Lenovo pushes through that recovery app is. Either way, I'm finally up and running. Wasted a whole day on it.
