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

[Linux4]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, 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:

• Follow the instructions on the wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi

Note: You may use Odin instead of Heimdall, for this you will need to rename the recovery image to recovery.img and pack it into a tar archive.

Downloads:

• Builds: gta4xl, gta4xlwifi
• GApps: 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 /proc/last_kmsg. (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.

Linux4: Tried to install last night; wiped data and cache per the instructions and checked that /data was ext4. Flash failed with errors "failed to mount /odm (invalid argument) ', with similar errors for /product and /vendor, and I believe /system_root as well. Tried reformatting partions (except storage partitions) and full factory reset, all ending in the same errors described above. Rebooting defaulted into fastboot mode. I reflashed 17.1 and everything worked, and now back to normal. NB: I'm not a developer, and still in the process of learning the ins and outs of Android. Again, thank you for your work on this ROM!

Did you do it that way???

And which twrp did you use?

I have installed both variants, unfortunately don't check out at xda so often, if any questions are happy to report via Telegram (Support Group)

Up to step 3, which is where the errors occurred. Progressing beyond that did not appear to be an option.

Try the wipe, a reboot into recovery and flashe then....

Can you take a screenshot of twrp? After you press down on the 3 strokes and the changelog is displayed there?

Thanks mu1989. I will give this a try later today and let you know.

I tried to install Lineage 18 several times, but failed.

I'm on latest TWRP v.3.
Changed /data to Ext4 partition
Factory reset
Format data ->yes
reboot recovery
Install lineage 18 from external SD-card
Reboot system.

After 1 failed boot, system boots into TWRP again.
When installing Lineage again, TWRP gives message in red text "Android Rescue Party trigger! Possible solutions? Either:
1. Wipe caches, and/or
2. Format data, and/or
3. Clean flash your ROM.

The reported problem is:
"-reason=set_policy_failed:/data/app'

This is because TWRP doesn't wipe /data/media and other things, someone at TWRP might have thought it would be a good idea to make factory reset not wipe everything but it completely breaks FBE.
You could run rm -rf /data/* (will really delete everything on /data) from TWRP shell to fix this problem, I will upload lineage recovery builds later/tomorrow with which this will not happen.

 

[Iceman66]

Thx, that did the trick.
Rooted with Magisk 21.1 Beta, did not pass Safetynet.

Rooted with Magisk 21.1 Beta, did not pass Safetynet.

1) install Magisk Hide props
2) open terminal
3) su
4) 1 edit device fingerprint
5) f pick a certificated fingerprint
6) search one plus (21)
7) I took the one plus 8t (android 11) (44)
8) y and y
8) Reboot

Look afterwards if magisk hide is activated and magisk is hidden

Mine says only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed (recovery) on the twrp step.

Have you installed lineage recovery?

When you make the sideload, you need to confirm the installation on the tab,
There is a window at the top where you can choose yes or no

 

[Chnouphi]

Hello all. Tried flashing again, with identical results described previously. Booted to TWRP 3.4.0, then factory reset followed by format data - - > yes, rebooted into recovery, then tried flashing 18 (not directly after wiping like I did before). Same 'failed to mount /odm (etc), invalid arguement' errors. (Sorry, neglected to do a screen grab.)

 

[mu1989]

Twrp is not so confident, please use Lineage Recovery for the installation process.
the installation then takes place via adb sideload

Did you perform the trick of @Linux4 in the terminal?

c
It seems that TWRP doesn't clean the /data/ partition well.
Linux4 gave a tip:

In TWRP, got to advanced->terminal-> type rm -rf /data/* enter, and proceed with installing Lineage 18.

 

[mu1989]

You can also try to get from the original to Lineage 18.0, then twrp would also have to delete everything
