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 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 folks,
I need some help. I have had my X820 I ordered from bangood for about a month now. I have tried a variety of ROMs on this device, and twrp-3.2.1-0-x2.img. This morning I tried to give the latest lineageOS a try. I did the typical wipes, and flashed lineageOS & gapps. After reboot google play started to throw all types of errors.
I booted back into TWRP, and this time it would only mount in read only. I tried the trick to change the /data partition fron ext2 back to ext4, did wipes again, installed ROM + Gapp, reboot but still have crashing playstore and google background processes.
I went from an already installed AICP to LOS. I did do a complete TWRP backup of AICP beforehand. The weird thing is that if I do a complete wipe again from TWRP, and do a fresh install of Pixel Experience [AOSP] all works normally. And after I did another wipe from TWRP after Pixel Experience, and restored my AICP backup all is working fine now both in TWRP & AICP. Has anyone had something simular happen like this before?
You have to install the latest unofficial TWRP build in order to use see your /data partition with the latest LineageOS installed. It's indicated on the thread's FAQ.
Guys, I'm not very mature with this device Rn7. As i already know about it's encryption. It's v flaky.
I'm running LOS 17.1, i have setup Pin & Fingerprint in my device which i enter into the recovery as well for decryption. I never flashed a Firmware thingy in my Device. As i have read before flashing many ROMs, You should have to flash Android Q firmwares on Top. But i never did that when flashing LOS 17.1. I just rooted Miui 11 installed custom recovery (Orange Fox R11) & flashed LOS 17.1
Question 1: LOS 17.1 is FBE or FDE?
Question 2: If i want to move on to Bliss ROM 12.11 from my current LOS 17.1 (21.7 nightly), Formating data will be necessary? Or i can just wipe? So i don't loose my Internal storage.
Question 3: Does anyone know how to flash a firmware? BlissROM OP says flashing a firmware on the Top before flashing Rom.zip?
Question 4: If i want to backup (nandroid) my current OS (LOS 17.1) into the recovery. Exactly which partitions i should backup? So i can restore after trying Bliss ROM or if i get a bootloop or other issues (if needed). My Internal storage will be safe at that time aswell after restore?
My Current OS: LOS 17.1
Current Recovery: Orange Fox R11
LOS 17 is fbe. idk the rest

1) LOS 17.1 is FBE
2) when changing ROM is recommended to clean flash and format data but you can try to install the new ROM without formatting data, in case of bootloop or issues booting the system the only solution is to format data or restore the nandroid backup of the previous ROM
3) download the latest stable firmware (for your region or the global one) from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/lavender/ then just flash it in recovery
4) read carefully this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ngefox-recovery-project-t3941822/post79771469 remember to copy the backup to a safe place (external sd card or computer)

If i flash the firmware on the top first. & Clean flash the ROM but without formating data. & if the ROM bootloops, i can just format the data & reboot the system? I will have the working device with newly flashed ROM? Or i will have to re-flash the whole ROM. zip again after formatting the data if newly flashed ROM bootloops?
Necessary to know for me, Because i won't have ROM.zip into my internal storage then if i will format the data when the ROM bootloops.
In addition to what others have posted, I would add :
- you can flash firmware anyhow.
- only /data and internal storage parts. are needed in most cases to be backed up. But that depends on what you wanna backup. I personally do not recommend relying on nandroid backups for data because of encryption. It is a hit and miss and you dont wanna take the risk in regards to data I believe. Just use an app data backup tool instead.
- Efs, modem, persist partitions should be backed up at least once and should be saved in different places because they can help fixing rare issues of imei lost, fingerprint breaking etc

Format data after flashing the ROM and then rebooting the system should be ok and you don't need to reflash anything
im having big problems about vendor. for start im giving some info:
device: mi a1 (tissot)
current os: lineage OS 17.1
root: yes
twrp: can install or use just booting .img
i unlocked my device and installed twrp. there is no problem.
i wanted flash lineage OS and i wiped my device. gives error about cannot mount /vendor
i installed treble supported twrp and installed lineage OS. flashed magisk. installed microg...
then i tried flash mapsv1.zip which is recommended for microg. then booom. another /vendor error.
now i can boot device. i can use everything except gps. google maps app cannot found location. yandex maps can found and i can use it until lock screen or going main screen (or another app). then it starts stopping everytime until i clen its data and cache. then again... in chrome when i open google maps and try found my location chrome stops.
i tried to change /vendor/etc/gps.conf. its still same.
what to do now guys? im worrying about if i try re-flash rom it doesnt flash and device bricked. any solution without re-flash rom? what causes to cannot mount /vendor after solved it?
What exactly did you wipe? I think you wiped vendor, or bumped your O.S. from an old firmware. However, wiping system, data and Dalvik was more than enough.
To solve this, the worst thing to do is trying to hook around. Just reflash the latest original firmware and start again.
Keep in mind that you might need to backup your stuff first.
Use adb pull and push commands in case your device is rebooting too much. Check if device works well this time.
Next, open adb access from device and reboot fastboot to reflash your custom recovery, then reboot recovery and wipe just these items. Finally, complete Rom flashing procedure, depending of your needs.

Dalvik cache , system, data, and cache. My device is not rebooting too much. Sory if i couldn't explain. Everything working fine except when an app tries use my location, app stops running, i cant flash anything right now.
İ thought anyone knows mapsv1.zip file(microg.org) and which files are replaced or added by this file when flash it. And can i do it manually? Btw i can read and write /vendor file with solid explorer
İf needed to re-flash rom thats ok but i think lineage OS was perfect for me until this error. And a last thing: can i backup my settings. (İ already took backup of everything in stock when unlocked bl)
Thank you for help
Edit: gps problems started when i tried flash mapsv1
ROM could be perfect, but what I doubt is how perfectly you followed the procedure. Again, better start from zero, being sure you have all the prerequisites (latest firmware included). My humble opinion.

Okey ilk try it and share the result night. But is it possible to backup settings of phone?
Well, that's why in step 0 is always recommended to backup you phone. At this level you should have nothing in settings, since you wipe it all... However, that's better, that's the goal of a Clean Install after all. Each ROM has its own flavour and is not recomendable to overwrite these values from a backup, if you're changing ROMs. What you could do, was to backup your apps and some settings with a third app like Swift Backup, or older Titanium Backup, before starting it all, or else, making a complete backup from recovery, in case you end with a problem with newly installed ROM (recommendation here is disable any screen security lock before doing Backups).

İ did it all. Step by step. But i realized something. That errors doesnt matter on my device. Bcs when i flashing stock mi flash tool said failed but i booted system and everything working fine. İ installed persistent twrp. Same error. Then wiped. Same error but wipe completed. Than i flashed this zips single and booted everytime: lineage os, magisk, backup of migrate. Everytime it said cannot mount vendor but all of this apps and os and recovery working fine
Thank you for your helps

if you didn't treblized your device then its not a problem. I have this error too but that's because there is no vendor partition to mount. as been said by unipo:

Are you sure? Bcs i can view and change /vendor in root path. Treblizing is updating and repairing system partitions right? İ am using treble support twrp, flashed stock rom via mi flash(said error but worked fine) then how to treblize a device? And is this required for anything(like a rom, an app)?
I have the MIUI v12.0.3, that's is full working, installed by Fastboot and XiaomiFlash. Then I flash the recovery TWRP mauronofrio and if I try to install any ROM what I get is a reboot into the recovery....
If I browse with the recovery into my files they are gone, in the root there are just a lot of folders with strange names like "7fdhuyfdsgu8fdhdH8fdhHBJN", inside those folder other strange folders.
The strange behaviour is that if I try to upload anything with a PC while the recovery in mounting a partition the file just won't upload, it sticks on 0%.
The only way to have a functioning OS is then use the XiaomiFlash again a flash the original latest MIUI.
This is SO WEIRD . I don't know how to do.
By now I have tried this ROMs:
- Havoc OS
- Resurrection Remix
Do you have any helps? I think is something with encryption, because when I try to save the log on the SD card with TWRP I get
E:Unable to decrypt FBE device
UPDATE:
I found this topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80209338&postcount=2
Following what the comment says, I figured out to Boot the ROM Havoc-OS... BUT all my data are still crypted I guess...
I installed a simple file manager from the play store and what I see are all the strange folders in the root of the phone...
SOLUTION:
After following that thread, what I had to do is just use TWRP mauronofrio and Format Data (not wipe). This will erase everything and solve the crypto problem. :good:
