Problem with LineageOS

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 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.

Can't flash oreo roms

Hi,
I have a problem installing 8.1 oreo roms on my phone. I follow standard procedure: wipe dalvik, cache, system, data -> install rom + gapps -> wipe cache. After my phone restarts, it displays rom logo, but doesn't load (even after 15-20 minutes of waiting). All I can do is load in fastboot and restore my backup. I use twrp 3.2.1-0, unofficial 8.1 pico gapps from 2018/01/30.
So far I tried:
-Installing rom and gapps separately.
-Installing rom, rebooting, installing gapps.
-Installing rom + gapps, then wiping data.
-Installing rom + gapps, then not wiping anything.
-Factory reset, then install rom + gapps.
-Installing rom + different gapps versions.
Additional notes:
-At one point I successfully installed NitrogenOS (about a month ago) and it is my current rom and backup. But I can't clean flash it again.
-When I install rom only (without any gapps) it boots up fine without errors or long loading.
Can anyone help?

Same problem I am also facing. Using Pixel experience ROM but now not able to flash cosmic official rom...remaining on bootanimation

Hi buddy .

Thanks for answer. I tried that method too, but it still didn't work for me. I recently tried clean flash with gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3718757 and it worked flawlessly. So maybe it's an issue with some gapps packages?

I also have the exact same problem.
Flashing ROM without gapps works perfectly.
adding gapps package, no matter if its pico aroma or mini, it results in stuck on boot animation.
wiping after flashing also did not work.
once made pixel experience boot, using it since...ota update worked without a problem.
any other suggestions?

ftfy. But before this ensure that:-
1. Non corrupted ZIPs. Avoid if possible from using mobile data. A slower yet stable WiFi yields better success rate.
2. Currently this unofficial opengapps' builds works better and are more current.

I didn't need to format data on Oreo nos

As mentioned in other threads on this topic, I just wanted to mention here as well that I am also affected by these Oreo boot loops and haven't found a solution yet. I somehow managed to get PixelExperience to install once, but downgraded now to a Nougat build for other reasons (better battery and GCamMod compatibility).

I am using 3.2.1-0 twrp. Rom itself flashes fine, it's the gapps that create infinite boot.

Exact Same issue Here...

I have same problem too .. can't boot in to any Oreo ROM with Gapps .. really isn't any solution here?

This might not be a proper solution, but here's what I did:
1) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system
2) Flash rom + gapps(I used NitrogenOS and pico gapps)
3) Wipe data again and restore data from backup(I restored data from previous build of NitrogenOS, so I don't know if restoring from different rom will be ok)
4) Boot into rom, ignore any "stopped working" errors and go to Settings-System-Reset options-Erase all data(Not sure if this will erase internal storage, backup just in case)
After that phone booted up and and did first time installation.

Can someone upload me some backup? Pixel Experience would be a best ! Thanks a lot

Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
I'm facing the same problem. I have a Redmi 3S (international, 3GB version). Doesn't matter what Oreo ROM I try (clean install), they all get stuck in bootloop on boot animation. It doesn't get far enough in the boot process to do a logcat with ADB, so I'm not able to post it.
I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0 but have tried Red Wolf recovery as well and it yields the same results... I don't think it's a gapps issue since I've tried booting several ROMS without installing gapps.
I have rebooted several times while it's still in the boot process, remounted system in TWRP, wiped everything, ...
If anyone has an idea to get the logs, fire away. Can't boot so can't install liveboot or something like that.

bump

any solution?

The Problem still occurs...
Flashed PE successfully once, but since i went Back to official Nougat lineage os, No Oreo Roms can be booted with gapps

Phone boots into recovery after flashing an OTA

Hi,
I have been using Derpfest on my Redmi Note 6 Pro for a long time. To flash the latest version, I wiped cache, dalvik cache and data (as per their instructions) and then flashed the full zip. For some reason, the phone does not boot anymore, it goes into Mi logo, reboots, and then boots into recovery.
I have tried clearing data, dalvik, cache, system and internal storage and then flashing two different custom ROMs (Derpfest and HavocOS) but it still does not work.
Can someone please help me recover my phone?
Thanks

Flash the last miui rom. Recovery Edition. https://c.mi.com/thread-2959490-1-0.html?t=1585141449432&utm_source=share
Boot up and than install the rom you want.

The latest Derpfest uses a new kind of encryption (FBE). This requires formatting data if you were on an earlier version (or any other ROM) with FDE. This really should have been stated clearly in the Derpfest instructions and changelog (perhaps it was - I don't know). If you were using OrangeFox Recovery, you might have seen something (in red) about Android Rescue Party, advising clean-flashing the ROM.

Most custom roms dont work for me - Am i doing something wrong?

Hello! Since i got this device, every time i try to install any custom rom, sometimes i have a good luck and one of those works, but other times they dont, i just get an "Android Setup keeps failing" so i cant even do the initial setup. The only roms that worked for me for now are the PE BS and Corvus, i tried LOS, PE, Havoc and almost any other rom and i get this problem, tried roms with and without gapps, different gapps versions and build but i just keep getting this problem.
The way i install a rom its like this:
- Wipe dalvik, data, cache and system
- Format data
- Reboot recovery
- Flash latest fw
- Flash rom
- Reboot Recovery
- Flash magisk
And i just keep getting this issue :c skipping magisk but i just get the same problem. I dont know if someone have or had this problem and know how to solve it.
Thanks in advance!

When you say "flash latest fw" what do you mean? Latest MIUI firmware? If yes why? You wipe everything just to install the firmware again?
It should be:
- Wipe dalvik, data, cache and system
- Format data
- Reboot to recovery (TWRP)
- Flash ROM
-Flash Gapps if wanted and not included in custom ROM
- Flash magisk
- Boot to system

Yeah thats what i mean, and i flash it everytime because those times that i skipped that the rom didnt even booted, so i just assumed that its necessary. But also, tried the way you say it and still got the same result.
I think that i need to flash MIUI by fastboot for something like a "clean flash" because y tried everything even using the zip to skip the encryption but... Nothing, still the same :c

Best should be to follow the instructions by the ROM developer,
for example Arrow OS:
How to install:
Reboot to recovery
Wipe System , Cache, ART Cache and Data
Flash the ROM
Flash any addons (GApps, Magisk...)
Format data if you are encrypted
Reboot
(Formatting data is later here)
Or Bliss ROM:
First Time Install / Clean Flash
0. Flash proper firmware, latest firmware for your device variants.
1. Reboot to Recovery
2. Format data
3. Wipe system
4. Flash the ROM (DO NOT WIPE VENDOR, EVER)
5. Reboot to System
6. Reboot to Recovery
7. Flash Magisk (Optional)
8. Reboot to System

Best may be to ask a ROM developer by PM what could be the problem. I'm still on stock so my knowledge about it is more theoretical.

Help!! Fastboot Bootloop RN7 - Pixel Experience Flash

Hello friends how are you? I will try to be very brief and excuse me for my English
I recently bought a second-hand redmi note 7, and it came with the ROM Pixel Experience 2019 (Android 10) ... The fact is that I wanted to install the updated ROM Pixel Experience (Android 11 2021) and did the procedure to install the Recovery Fox Orange (The phone came with the recovery from Xiaomi).
In doing so, I performed the WIPE (Dalvik, Cache, Data, System) and proceeded to install the ROM from internal memory.
The ROM was installed correctly but when restarting it enters a Bootloop in the FastBoot and I have not been able to start ...
It is in Fastboot bootloop ... Please I need help, what can I do to start the Pixel Experience or what are the steps to follow? I heartily appreciate your help

Format data. you will need to type "YES" when doing it!!
so, format data, wipe evertyhing again, reboot to recovery, then install your rom and then have fun. hope it helps.

- I did Format Data
- Then I Wipe from: Dalvik / ART Cache, Cache, System, Data
- Then copy the ROM Pixel Experience Plus Lavender 11 (PC to Phone USB)
- I gave Install and then restart
But still in Fastboot Boot .. D:
