Hi guys, i tried today to install some roms(lineage 14.1, official and unofficial, latest nightly) , rr 5.8.3 with my twrp but i get error 7 , i tried to delete the first 2 lines(the assert getrpop thing) on all of them with noresults(same exact error) .
My oos version is 3.6.0, kernel is stock and SU is not installed(forgot to install after 3.6.0 update).
Any idea about how to solve that?
I don't want to wipe so don't suggest it, please
Did you "wipe everything except internal storage" before install?

I didn't, to avoid troubles with backing up 15gb of things, takes ages to do.
Can't i just dirty install those roms?
If i do that my internal storage will be untouched, right?
You won't (theoretically) loose your stuff. Just wipe the data, system and cache. Don't touch internal memory, then you will not loose anything.
Look at attached picture.
Then install choosed rom with gapps (if you want).
Of course, backup is always recommended.

So if i only backup those partition i should be fine, right?
I'll probably somehow backup the internal memory just for safety(even tho are 20gb+).
I'll try and see what happens

My friend has a Defy, and I have tried to install Kitkat to it. I was almost successful, but gapps dont go it, and booting is very-very slow.
I figured it out that there is a recovery error: cant mount /cache, and cant format is. I think cache is needed to boot faster.
And I cant to install any aps because "no internal memory space available"
I made a full wipe before install, format sd, system, data... etc.
When kitkat boots, statusbar is OK, quickbar OK, so i can enter Settings, do connect wifi, bluetooth, etc, but I have no launcher. Internal memory seems to be 68MB (defy has 2GB i think).
After restart, all changes lost.
Do u have any idea to re-create /cache partition (i have TWRP) and make internal SD visible to OS?
Thank u in advance
Which gapps did you install? You need the minimal version of BaNkS gapps.
I installed the minimal.
Did you try to wipe, install only ROM first, boot the device, and then reboot in TWRP and install lastest minimal Gapps?
Sure.
I installed back CM 7.2, it works perfectly
I haven't been able to find an answer upon searching and haven't come across this in my time reading forum posts.
So if I go to settings - backup and reset and do a factory reset from there.
I will lose all my data on internal storage, yes. But will the Android system boot into the same rom with Gapps and all just without any data at all? Allowing me to set it up as a new phone completely.
I'm on official Resurrection remix.
Edit - here's what I did. Thanks @Sam Nakamura
1. Clean flashed the ROM I wanted to use. (wipe everything except internal storage)
2. Booted into the ROM and set up Google account.
3. Booted into twrp and wiped internal storage.
4. Rebooted into system.
Everything is good as new. Setting it up from scratch now.
Isn't better doing it from recovery?

Trying to find out how. Want to delete all data including internal storage.
Want to lose all apps, files. Basically exactly as a new phone, just with a custom ROM.

Just use wipe data/factory reset function in TWRP and use the advanced wipe options.

Not if you don't wipe system partition, where ROM and Gapps are located. Just if something goes wrong, you should have a way to flash these zips. You can use TWRP to transfer them.
Basically I'm not sure which partitions to wipe. As I don't know what is contained in which partition. Which is what I'm trying to understand
How to use twrp to transfer them? I lost you at that.

Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and internal storage partitions. Don't wipe system.
Data contains your apps. Cache works as cache for apps and dalvik has a similar function afaik. Internal storage stands for the internal memory, where files that you download, transfer or receive, are located.
I'm trying to say that you should have a backup of ROM and gapps just in case something bad happens, which I don't think. If that happens, just boot the phone in TWRP and plug it to a computer. Then transfer zip files of ROM and Gapps to internal storage, and then flash them. Voilá, clean ROM and full operative Gapps.
Sorry for taking so much to reply, I didn't see notifications in the forum.

Thanks for the explanation about the partitions.
I managed to achieve what I set out for.
Did a clean flash of my ROM. Then went on to wipe internal storage in twrp. Now have a new rom and everything. But clean slate for internal storage.
Hi all,
I'm with problems in Lineage OS.
I'm trying install Unofficial version under Official, but when I try usying TWRP, they show me this error:
" Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset"
I delete the "assert" section but the error persist.
Can any people help with this?
Thanks in advanced!

Did you wipe cache/data/system/Dalvik prior to installation of the unofficial Lineage OS-OMS? The unofficial and official builds don't mix - if you wish to switch between the two, you must wipe your device (unless you're dualbooting). Of course, by doing this, all data and your official Lineage OS system apart from your internal storage/SD card will be erased, make backups before you proceed. Your TWRP backup will live on your internal storage btw.

I didn't, only cache and dalvik. I would like install without lost my data and settings Have any way for I install changing the updater-script?
I would like try install only change this script first if I have any problem, there yes I'll do a clean install.

I don't know of a way to modify the update script, and in any case, I still would suggest your data (this is your app data and settings, not your photos and other media stored on your internal storage) be wiped along with your system. As I mentioned above, the official and unofficial builds are quite different, and trying to flash one on top of the other without performing a wipe of your system, (app) data, Dalvik and cache (no need to wipe your internal storage for most cases) will give you problems. It's even mentioned in the instructions for installing Lineage OS OMS https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/xt16xx-cyanogenmod-14-1-alpha-t3492274
If you don't wish to wipe your device, then staying on the official Lineage OS might be a wise option.

Thank you so much, I'll do a nandroid backup and try install following this tutorial. Other doubt, Can I use in this unofficial version the kernel elemental x or is better keep the original?

I recall from what Silesh has mentioned is that the commits from ElementalX are present in his kernel, thus the benefits should be seen in the unofficial stock Lineage OS kernel and so you don't necessarily need the ElementalX kernel. If you wish to use the ElementalX kernel with the latest builds of Lineage OS-OMS, and there is nothing stopping you doing so, you need to flash the sensorhub firmware, else you'll lose sensors like your fingerprint sensor (if you have a G4 Plus, that is - I don't know if other sensors are affected on non-Plus models as well if you don't flash this). The firmware can be found here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71360979&postcount=2723
To install said firmware if you need it (credit to rahulsnair for the procedure https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70716729&postcount=170):
Download the zip and extract, you should get a sensorhubfw.bin file. Copy this .bin file to your adb directory.
Connect your device to your computer and check adb can detect your device using 'adb devices'
Staying in adb, execute the command 'adb push sensorhubfw.bin /etc/firmware' (without the quotation marks). This will copy the sensorhub file to the /etc/firmware directory on your phone.
Reboot and hopefully you should have sensors back.
Hi there, I have an Axon 7 with LineageOS that was working like a charm until I rebooted it today. It was in the normal lineage OS boot animation with the blue circle moving from right to left, except it never stopped. Now after trying a few more times, it just keeps playing the animation except the phone will vibrate slightly every several seconds. The phone is encrypted but that hasn't been a problem. When I reboot to TWRP, it says Unable to mount storage.
I tried wiping Cache and Dalvik / ART Cache, but this didn't help. Finally, I do have a backup from 7-20-2017 but I'd rather not have to go back to that...
Any recommendations?

So you can't see the internal storage from TWRP? I'm guessing encryption actually plays a part here. Formatting data is probably the best course of action, though you should flash magisk or superSu if you do, to get rid of encryption. But you obviously lose everything that's on the internal storage.
Maybe make a system and boot backup and clean flash Lineage. Like, wipe system and caches, then flash the bootloader, modem, LOS and whatever else you flash

Is it easier to just use the backup I have currently? If so, what are the steps necessary for that (sorry for newb questions, haven't messed with it in a while)
EDIT: Also, TWRP claims decryption is successful when it is loading up.

Again. Can you see the internal storage?
Don't restore the backup. Your problem is basically either on /system (clean flash of the ROM will do) or on /data (complete format of data is needed). So try the non destructive one first

I don't see any storage folder. So if I want to install the latest LOS and frankly just start from scratch, can I follow the guide here https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/axon7/install#installing-lineageos-from-recovery starting from "Installing LineageOS from recovery"? Will I still need to install something to wipe the encryption?

What? No... That's for normal phones. How did you manage to install LOS without knowing that you need the univ. bootloader and modem?
So, you can't access the internal storage via the file manager on TWRP i'm guessing.
Wipe - Format data, after that flash the Universal bootloader, modem, LOS, Magisk, GApps. Magisk takes care of dm-verity and disables encryption. Don't try to uninstall it though or your internal storage will get encrypted as soon as you do. But if you want to change ROMs you can just fpash it before booting and it won't ger encrypted.
Hi.
I have huge problem. I have Redmi Note 7 with xiaomi.eu (Last stable MIUI 10 version). Today I decided to update it to latest version (MIUI 11). Before it, I made backup via TWRP and then perform update. Update successfull. I thought that I prefer MIUI 10 so in TWRP perform wipe dalvic and cache and make restore backup. Backup succesfull. But... System wont boot up. In TWRP I cant see internal storage (0MB), TWRP ask for decryption password but the password from unlocking phone doesnt work. I dont know what to do. I dont want to lose my data. I found info that OrangeFOx recovery could be helpful so I flashed OrangeFox recovery. But it also ask for password.
Help please.

You're out of luck. You need to format your data partition - and you will lose your data and all the contents of your internal storage.

Is there any way to backup storage eg. via adb or something and try later to restore it?
EDIT
I performed wipe, install latest android. Data is gone. I found some windows apps to restore data after factory reset via adb. I'll try this in next week

PS: if your original MIUI 10 backup included /data, then you should be able to restore the data after formatting, flashing a fresh copy of the MIUI 10 ROM, booting the ROM, and then, booting back to recovery and restoring the data backup. But the content of your internal storage is gone forever (if you didn't back it up before).
Unfortunately I lost all my data (mainly photos). I'll buy microsd to store data and backups.
