I don't understand the installation instructions from page 1. I have flashed the baseband package, way back when I installed 15.1 after flashing uSu - H812_20z_modem.zip.
This step is for UsU'd devices only:
If you have ever flashed the UsU baseband package: Clean flash the modem partition from your backup in TWRP.
If you do not know if you ever flashed it simply flash your modem partition again and you can be sure. This can't do any harm.
If you have no backup:
- TWRP flashable MM modems (N will not work)
Does this mean that the baseband is flashed with this ROM?
I have TWRP backups, but don't know how to clean flash the modem partition in a twrp backup.
Would appreciate some help here. I'm confused with the instructions.

regarding WiFi:
do u had tried setting selinux to permissive?
.-
This one did it for me. Internet is working again. Billion thanks! :)

"*#06#" displayed the IMEI code as it was probably supposed to do?

edit: one question: how to I make it permanent? after booting the phone, I had to do setenforce permissive all over again.

edit: logcat file attached (don't know if I got it right, cause I've never used it before)

Clean flash means just flash the modem partition . No baseband package. Read the UsU OP - topic "Making the baseband package obsolete" why.

Wait for the next build.. I guess you have a h815 or h811?

Do you have tried the reset of WiFi as well??? I had the same issue here after a dirty flash and the reset + reboot fixed it here.

steadfasterX, I'm sorry for my ignorance here with your instructions. I read the "Making baseband package obsolete" post and guess I understand that the baseband package for my H812 uSu device is not needed. I don't understand or know how to clean flash a modem.
Faq #1 from "[KERNEL][UsU][STOCK|TITAN] UsU patched kernel versions" provides instructions with this command included - "fastboot flash modem modem.bin".
Is this what you mean? Or is there a different method for doing this? I looked in TWRP and don't see a modem partition on the phone.

The OP of this thread links to TWRP flashable modems.
select the zip for your model, flash that in TWRP once and forget (as long as you use UsU ROMs).

Yeah, I have the h815 version and tried the WiFi reset. I'll try once more the same "dirty flash path" as you did (dflash, reset + reboot). If it fixes it--so be it, if not--no worries. It'll work eventually. Great fun anyways, thanks. :)

edit: I suppose that the moon and stars had to be correctly aligned, because today internet works EVEN after reboot (sepolicy= enforced). Now I'm tempted to move back to G4 as my DD. Always loved the phone and how it fits into my hand. Never liked my G6 and OP5's camera is what it is.

Just flashed this on my VS986 and it went smoothly. I was rocking LOS 15.1 a while back when I was on ATT and I loved it. I stopped using it cause I switched back to Verizon and I had to switch back to stock since my G4 is my daily. Just to confirm for any other VS986 users you will not be able to make phone calls with this rom. Data works perfectly though. :)

Thanks guys. I appreciate the work you guys do.

Yes, it doesn't work, but I don't use it anyway. Haha
Yeah, but it is important to find out why! Maybe because of missing selinux policy? Try setting it to permissive to see if the browser works.

I have also 2 apps that I personally use that do not work with selinux enforced, but they work when I set it to permissive.

What should we do @steadfasterX?

Should we report such cases to you, so that you will add something that will fix them? Or is it as it is?

thank you for everything

i even tried to unistall lineageos email app and install it again, but nothing change, i clean flash again everything and when i tried to read some imap email account with gmail app and there is the same problem, i just thought there was something with exchange / imap protocol (i really don't know if is that, be patient)

(as you may know already) exactly that specific vs986 issue when on verizon is tracked here: https://github.com/Suicide-Squirrel/issues_oreo/issues/21 (affects oreo and pie)

The part you missed was: I referred to the build announcement post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79873143&postcount=341

and in that post this:

Thanks for your feedback guys. Selinux was expected to be an issue for several things so keep on reporting (as described) :highfive:
