[solved] Lineageos 15.1 bootloop

[Silberhase]

Hello everyone!

I tried to update my phone from the official lineageos 14.1 to version 15.1 using TWRP As the installation instructions tell I wiped cache, system and data and flashed the new version without any installation problems. But after rebooting the phone I end up in a bootloop. Afterwards logcat only says "/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found" so there is nothing to find in the log file.

System details:
Phone: HTC One A9 European version (aka hiaeuhl)
TWRP Version 3.2.1.0
Latest installed lineageos: lineage-14.1-20180510-nightly-hiaeuhl-signed.zip (I also tried with older versions)
Version that should be installed: lineage-15.1-20180606-nightly-hiae-signed.zip (I also tried with the previous builds)
I assume hiae should be right? There no longe seems to be a difference between hiaeul and hiaeuhl versions.

I don't thing that the new versions are broken since they are official builds, but what am I doing wrong?
I also tried the flashing of LOS 15.1 coming from the latest stock firmware 2.17.401.2 (Android 7.0) with the same result...

kernel version: 3.10.84-perf-g42015ab
baseband version: [email protected]_60.00._F
(both from currently installed stock rom 2.17.401.2)

Should it be necessary to downgrade stock rom as it used to be? I think it wouldn't make any sense to go from Android 7 to 6 and then to version 8.

No, it is still S-on.

Edit: I solved it. I tried the Installation of Lineageos 15.1 again (after wiping system, cache and data), coming from the stock rom. First start gave me an encryption error, but after another factory reset I finally could boot Lineageos.

Hey, do you have idea if the hiae build in the Lineage official page work for hiaewhl?

I can't really tell because I'm not really experienced. Before they started to make the LOS 15 "hiae" version they only had versions for hiaeul and hiaeuhl (which was my device). Yes, it was, because I replaced the device since there will be no more official builds of LOS 15.1 for the hiae device.
I've made a bug report for phone calls that could not be answered or finished (https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-2031) and unfortunately the developer isn't able to fix this... so he discontinued the work on the hiae. There were also some other minor bugs, so I guess you would not be happy with this version anyway.
