How to update LineageOS 17.1 microg to newer build? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I am running LineageOS 17.1 (ver. 0.2.11.202414 ) with microg on my oneplus 6T.
I am totally happy with it except that sometimes my nfc is not working on my yubikey but with this i can life.
My main problem i have with updates to newer builds. They are released every week and under settings->system->advanced->updater I can see the builds that i could download and install. Also the OS is reminding me that i should update to newer versions.
I did it once and I softbricked my phone and i dont understand why...
On the LOS guide the steps mentioned are these:
Open Settings, navigate to “System”, then “Updater”.
Click the Refresh Icon in the top right corner.
Choose which update you’d like and press “Download”.
When the download completes, click “Install”. Once the update process has finished, the device will display a “Reboot” button, you may need to go into the Updater menu in Settings, “System” to see it. This will reboot you into the updated system
This is for shore not working with my version and microg variant.
How should i proper update my OS to a newer build version?

Does nobody have a hint for me?

The updater had issues originally. Although since you are using microg, you might have issues anyways. Now it would probably work if you were using a stock version of Lineage. Personally I still just use TWRP to update.
I have a guide here: Installing Lineage, it covers updating.
The only time I ran MicroG for any length of time was Omni, but it was still updated the same way.
You should be able to just flash the new build in recovery, flash the TWRP installer, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk if you use it, reboot to system. Since at this point, most modules will cause problems if flashed in TWRP.
I don't know how old your phone's firmware is, but there was a point in there LOS started checking for the updated firmware, so you maybe forced to update too. It should check before it flashes anyways. So just know if it errors out, you'll be updating everything. Be prepared to backup and clean install if you have to.

Thank you a lot @OhioYJ !
I was able to do the Update
If someone is interested in the NFC problem that I have, i will post it here:

Lineage OS 13 bootloop after reboot

EDIT: THIS WAS RESOLVED IN THE NEW 20171231 NIGHTLY, EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY NOW!
So I have this problem with Lineage OS 13 on my N10, so I flash the following packages:
Super SU 2.78
Busy-box
Open Gapps 6.0 nano
Lineage 13 10/14/17 nightly
The first boot is successful, I install some apps, watch some videos, normal tablet stuff. The problem is when I reboot, every time I reboot it ends in a boot loop. The tablet just won't boot up after I reboot it. The first boot works great, but nothing works after-wards.
Doesn't work on mine either, with CM13 20171017 build. I also made comment on the CM14 build thread here on XDA. I couldn't complete the initial setup using the CM14 build. I'm going back to stock.
I have the same problem with 20171021
I was able to reproduce the Error and attatched a logcat.
The bootloop always started while installing the App "immobilienscout24".
Hope someone can examine my logcat. I attached 2 (split) files, because I don't know, what is relevant.
Best regards
In my case the "BlueMail"-App cause the bootloops. After a factory reset LOS13 works fine, at the end of the install process of BlueMail Android restarts and bootloops. Deleting the bluemail-folder via TWRP solves the problem.

So basically I have to pick my apps wisely or lineage will reboot? **** that noise I'd rather run stock lollipop, lineage on my N10 is awful.
Again bootloop at the current nightly version. Official Lineageops version is slowly evolving to crap. I switch to the unofficial nougat version!
I have the same issue of constant boot loops. I tried several LOS nighly build w/o any success.
Funny thing is, after i rolled back to an old CynogenMod backup (v13.0 snapshot from 21.12.2016) it started to boot loop too, after I started updating my apps with Playstore.
So the bug must be very old, and it must be in CM/LOS, not in some specifiy app...
Folks, there is a defect open in the official lineage bug tracking system. please add your comments there - maybe this needs some more support to get looked at:
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1075
Marktplaats causes boot loop
In my case, 'marktplaats', a dutch app, caused the boot loop. At some point I decided to upgrade to Lineage. I never had any issues on Cyanogenmod 13.
There seems to be a solution for this Problem in the newest nightly, See
https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1052
I've done a test Installation with my two Problem apps and it works fine for me.

Android Auto: Something Went Wrong (Google Play Services)

I recently acquired a Nexus 6P.
TWRP is properly installed as the Recovery - twrp-3.2.3-0-angler
First thing I did with the device was flash the latest Android 8.1 Oreo version to it - angler-ota-opm7.181205.001-abb36a2f
I then installed Lineage OS 15.1, Open G Apps 8.1 (nano), and SU
From there I've done nothing but struggle with bugs and quirks. The device has been re-imaged several different times, with different variations of the above setup, and one of the main things I need to get working (Android Auto) keeps failing. Does anyone have any idea why Android Auto keeps pulling up the error "Google Play Services doesn't seem to be working right now"
All of the suggestions I've found online have failed. Screenshots have been provided for the version info and error. I've already cleared the data caches and tried to re-install and re-flash the device.
I got pissed and went back to JUST the stock OTA for testing/verification. With the stock rom there are no issues. Seems like Lineage OS 15.1 on the Nexus 6P has some bugs to work out. A fully functional stock phone is better then being frustrated.
If anyone can confirm I'm not crazy or explain what I missed while troubleshooting that would be awesome.

Screen problem

Hi everyone,
To flash the last rom (nightly ) of LineageOS ( in Oreo,from the 2 february), i had to put the firmware 5.1.7. After flash this firmware i was able to flash the ROM but it makes my phone extremely slow and with screen issues (i can still use the tactile but the screen doesnt follow).
I restored but the problem stills then i put le last stable ROM from Oneplus on android pie (9.0.3). It is a bit better (still really slow) and after a moment i get now like a white noise (same as on TV but with color moreover) by wink ( was more and more often on Google Maps), I had to reboot cause i couldnt use more my phone.
Thanks you in advance !
Ps : I've got TWRP from siankatabg and i'm not rooted , if you want me to send log tell me how pls.
Up :good:
When you were flashing did you used this instructions?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
Flash codework's TWRP for Pie. After that reboot into recovery, wipe everything down and use clean flash instructions for your OTA. It should be able to fix any issue you were having. If not let me know.
Yes i followed the clean flash way (it didn't resolve my issue) but my issue occured before i flash pie, when i flashed lineageOS 15.1 with the firmware 5.1.7 required (which i flashed too). A restoration didnt change that issue.
I tried with the TWRP from codework but it doesnt recognise my internal stockage.
Thanks of your time.

Hi, try wiping everything down with the new TWRP, after that reboot into recovery once more. Install last normal working OOS to see if that helps you. If not maybe it is hardware issue? Let me know once you wiped and installed the last working OOS on it.
I have installed multiple roms and firmware updates on my device with codework's TWRP and never had big issue like this. In my opinion best option for you to trace your steps back to the last working version of your os and try learning what might have gone wrong.

My issues seem gone since few weeks with the last OTA (it very rarely happens now). I don't know what caused that even if i use my backup.

Lineageo OS 15.1 CTS fail

I just downgraded from DotOS 9.0 ROM to LineageOS 15.1, and since then Play Store says Device is not certified, and Magisk Manager fails the cts SafetyNet check, but passes the integrity one.
I have tried literally everything from Magisk Modules and some fidgeting with Termux, to Fully Formatting phone both via fbe_twrp and normal latest twrp.
Prior to 9.0 ROMs (yeah i tested a few of them) I had a fully functioning Resurrection Remix 8.1 with no problems (i say that because RR is based on LineageOS (i think))
Please help me :/

That doesn't make sense play store is saying the device isn't certified, I have never heard of an error like that in all the years I've been flashing.
Are your gapps up to date? You've flashed the right vendor for 8.1? I've gone from 9.0 to 8.1 and vice versa more than a couple times and I never had issues.
Unless some module you're using with magisk is doing it? I don't know anything about that , I use magisk for root, and for v4a and that's it.

Actually this is the second time I encounter that error, but the first time, a simple cache delete of the PlayStore.apk did the job just fine. This is a way more common problem than you think, but not so much that it has a certain solution.
I flashed radio, vendor and bootloader images that was provided from the original LOS thread here. Gapps were freshly downloaded from original site. The same problem was still there no matter if and what modules I had on Magisk.
Didn't try though to boot the rom without installing root, to see if the problem would still be there

Not saying it cpuld be root, saying it could be the magisk modules you're playing around with. I've been flashing ROMs since 2.0.x over the life span of six devices, this is not common lol

Initially I didn't use any modules, the fresh clean install of LOS had this issue by default, then i installed some modules to help with CTS failure, but still ...
With or without modules, the problem is still there.
SafetyNet checks weren't there up until recently so yeah, you wouldn't see any error of that kind even if you started your flashing career from the 1.6 android ...

Android 10 GSI

Note: Make sure your phone is decrypted and do not turn on the secure boot feature where you need to put in your pattern to boot system!
So as I'm currently without a PC and can't restore the stock images I wanted to share the best method for using Android 10 I've found.
Get the latest phh gsi image v210 is what I used.
Get the latest Lineage OS GSI 17.1 image.
Get the Trinity v2 kernel (beta is what I used).
Get the latest Android 10 pico or nano gapps from opengapps. (I used nano)
Boot to recovery and factory reset.
Install phh gsi IMG to system. When finished don't reboot. (I do this to keep security patches as up to date as possible)
Install LineageOS IMG (DIRTY FLASH).
Install Trinity Kernel to Boot
Reboot system
(Optional once you fully boot you can reboot recovery and flash the f2fs zip from Arter Kernel then reboot recovery and wipe data. When you reboot system you may freeze during setup just reboot by holding the power in until the phone restarts. It will finish setup this time.)
Reboot recovery and flash gapps. If you get error 70 resize the system partition. It will work after resizing once or twice.
When it boots you can do your traditional setup.
Reboot recovery and Install Magisk v20.3.zip
Reboot system and Install Magisk Modules Busybox for Android NDK and Magisk Hide Props Config.
Install terminal app of choice following Reboot
Type su in terminal and hit enter
Type props in terminal and hit enter
Change the fingerprint to Razer Android v9 and Reboot following the prompts.
Congratulations you now have LineageOS Android 10 and are passing safetynet.
Notes:
You can Install v4a if you want.
I highly suggest installing the l'speed module from Magisk as it stabilizes the freezing/kernel.
You can also Install EdXposed and the beta for GravityBox Q ... Still passing safetynet.
Logo++ will fix your Razer logo on the rear of device.
Bluetooth works fine as does everything I've tested.
Downloads needed:
Latest phh GSI for AOSP Android 10
Latest LineageOS 17.x GSI Image
Trinity Kernel (v2)
Magisk v20.3
Pico or Nano GAPPS from OpenGapps
Optional:
V4A (requires the Magisk Module Audio Modification Library)
EdXposed Riru - Core (Magisk Module)
EdXposed - Sandhook Beta / Canary (Installed from manager)
EdXposed - Latest Manager (do not use Taichi)
GravityBoxQ Beta (gives you a lot of customization like the battery icon in statusbar)
Logo+
LSpeed Module for Magisk (lspeed-master.zip)
F2FS_FSTAB.zip from ArterKernel Thread
***Note*** this isn't flawless but when using the LSpeed Magisk Module it's very close**"
**"" LineageOS Freezes every now and then where the AOSP GSI doesn't but I can't get the AOSP to pass safetynet***
Screenshots
Note I changed the font to Comfortaa via Magisk Font Changer Module
SafetyNet
Magisk modules I personally use. Ignore older versions of the same module.
Change the fingerprint to Razer Android v9 and Reboot following the prompts.

No doubt I'm through with flashing back to stock countless times.....so over it
Wish I had more time and knew more about Android to bake us up a solid AOSP ROM for this phone. Great hardware to work with here and like I've said before I can't believe there is not one Dev in this community to pick this phone up as cheap as it is and get something going

I feel like it's the nature of ROM developers sticking to the devices they have. They are currently developing for other phones, and don't want to have to move/develop for a new phone, nor do they have the time to develop for another phone. To be fair, we are not completely in the dark; f(x)THaxxorX seems to be working on patched versions of popular GSIs that are more suited for the hardware of the RP2:

Ugh. I don't know why I keep trying. SMS doesn't work over LTE on TMobile using this method either. OP, your profile says you're on TMobile. Have you solved this problem somehow?

Are you still trying to use a Q GSI? If you are willing to go back to a Pie-based GSI, installing ims.apk and moving the apk to "/vendor/overlay/" works every time for me.

From my experience, Pie ROMs have issues with the fingerprint scanner reliability, and media in a lot of games seems to have buffering issues as it frequently cuts out.

I have the same problems on ArrowOS(the fingerprint sensor problem is pretty rare. The speaker issue is really annoying, but it only happens at low volumes), but I guess it depends on how much you're willing to take. If you want to keep to use Q GSIs, our best option is just to wait for patched GSIs by f(x)THaxxorX that might be coming out at some point(Soon™).

I think the speaker itself might have issues as I even had this issue with Android 9 GSIs, from what I remember. At first I suspected buffer-related issues but after some testing it doesn't seem to be the only issue. Setting the media volume to at least 50% would allow most of the audio to get out of the speaker, but at max volume the speaker can be really loud (to the point that I feel the speaker could be potentially damaged) so I usually set it to at most 80% when I need to place the phone a bit far from where I am.
Also, I haven't gotten aptX working on Android 10 GSIs due to a strange null pointer dereference bug which would crash the entire Bluetooth stack. Only SBC works as intended. As I noticed that the author of gjf_bt Magisk module (which adds aptX libraries as well as SBC tweaks) recently blacklisted Android 10 and onwards, I think the issue might have more to do with the Android 10 system itself.
Hey! Can anyone confirm if LDAC is working on this? I have never rooted a phone before just doing it to enable LDAC. Also, does this OS support setting for Refresh rate?
I love Lineage OS 17, but I noticed that I don't receive text messages anymore. I could receive text messages when I first flashed it, and after a couple of hours, I could not. Then, I could send messages and I could send and receive calls. I could use data. I could not receive text messages. Is there a fix for this problem? I tried using Lineage 16, but I still could not receive text messages. I am back to stock, for the moment. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using AT&T service.

It's a known issue, and unfortunately there is no reliable fix yet.
