Hi,
I tried installing a lineageos 15.1 ROM, but didn't work for me. I loaded the 7.1 ROM on the system, I wiped for a clean install, but could not find the storage path in the root. So I loaded it onto a usb drive and connected to my phone, tried installing, but I'm getting an error saying "Can't install this package on top of incompatible data." I have installed many ROMs from a usb before, don't know why I'm getting this. If anybody can help me, thank you.
Performed a full wipe of system, data, and cache before flashing?

Yes, but I didn't wipe internal storage. For some reason I cannot find the storage path in the root.
You could use twrp to wipe as well.
Are you flashing over a stock ROM?

No, as I said, lineageos 15.1. I did use twrp to wipe specifically System, Dalvik, Cache, and Data.
Only other possible solution I can think of would be to flash the latest stock ROM and start over.

Hi, do you know where I can download that?
Try sammobile.com, updato.com, or Samsung-firmware.org for the stock ROM.

Hi, the stock ROM is loaded! Thanks! But...I'm getting a problem where the T-mobile splash screen is just there, the OS isn't loading. The brightness is at the lowest but flashes to the highest every 14 or so seconds. How can I fix this porblem?
Did you flash the latest stock ROM?
Did you perform a factory reset from recovery?

I flashed the latest firmware from updato, I didn't factory reset. Do I do that from twrp or the stock, because I already have twrp on it.
Try twrp first. If that doesn't fix it, use stock recovery.

Hi,
I set up TWRP 2.8.7.0 and cm-13.0-20160129 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506), and run into an odd problem where it would work after install, but would not work after a reboot (booting screen would just roll for ever). Installing CM again, would work, and than the problem would still be there. Mindlessly I decided to play a little anyway and set up encryption. The phone ended up rebooting, and not loading, so I'm here without a password (default_password doesent work) and with an encrypted /data that TWRP cant wipe or format
Unable to mount storage.
Unable to decrypt data
Unable to wipe '/data' -- unknown file system 'auto'
Unable to format to remove encryption

I've attempted to use ADB to format it, but it seems parted isnt installed. With that phone being a less popular variant I'm kind of afraid to just flash whatever there, but I guess I need a recovery with a least parted, or possibly one that would be able to format the drive itself. Any pointers?
Have you tried flashing a stock ROM via Odin? Is this your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9506/ ?
not yet; I don't have windows, and didn't see any point in changing the soft used for flashing, will try but cant download the polish rom at the moment o0 (ends up with a dead link or a server down?)
I know of no other way to flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com other than Odin.
Did you create a free account on sammobile.com to enable the regular download?

You can also flash it with Heimdall. It's the open source variant of Odin.
aaaand I'm back, managed to download, got some windows, flashed to stock using odin, and it's still encrypted. is running 'repartition' from odin safe? I've noticed some warnings against it but without any explanations.
edit; running the same operation with repartition failed. this bloody encryption might be able to survive nuclear war.
After flashing back to stock via Odin, did you perform a factory wipe before booting the rom for the first time?
I assume you have a pit file for the phone since you repartitioned?

never managed to do that. I wonder what advantage does the wipe from factory ROM have over custom recoveries... anyways thanks to all who helped, the issue is solved. also it seems that the problems with non-rebooting CM were my mistake of not wiping the cache/dalvik after install
I find that a wipe using a custom recovery is not always as through as a stock recovery. Can't say how or why, it's just based on my experience with Samsung and Nexus phones.

I think the difference is that a custom recovery only wipes /data partition so that the internal sdcard will not be wiped. The stock recovery formats /data partition. When you want to lose encryption you need to format /data partition.
You can also format the /data partition with a custom recovery, but that option is hidden for good reason. Because it will also format your internal sdcard and that's not something we want to do when changing roms.
Just a quick question:
I know that i have to be in stock lollipop rom to install lineage or cyanogen, I installed stock lollipop then lineage 14.
But if im already in lineage 14 and i want to reinstall the rom, do i have to flash lollipop again via odin and then TWRP, then wipe and install or can i just install without going to the whole process of odin etc?
Also, factory reset works as in stock rom, or do i have to reinstall?
Sorry, i know this is noobish, but its bothering me since days ago and i cant find a clear answer.
Thank you for reading!

You can reinstall it without repeating the process.
I don't know about it's factory reset, but i guess it should work.

if u are reflashing the same rom again then no need to wipe data.just on twrp wipe system,cache,dalvik cache and then flash that rom again ...no loss of any data.but if u want to go to stock firmware then u have to flash stock via odin...there all user data will be erase....if u want to make factory reset like stock on lineage then open twrp and wipe data.....all user data will remove.

You need to format your data
Did you wipe System, Cache, Data and/or Internal storage before flashing?

I tried to flash PE-CAF at first, but it appears Error 7.
I look up at the thread, and error 7 means require firmware update
So I proceed to update the firmware to 339 and flash the ROM.
Well, PE-CAF is successfully flashed, but it stuck at the Google Logo screen forever.
I tried to flash other ROM as well, and all of them successfully flashed but also cannot boot at all.
Anyone can help with my issue?
