From OxygenOS 4.5.13 to OxygenOS 5.1/LineageOS 15.1

Hi,
I have Oneplus 5 with TWRP 3.1.1 running 4.5.13. I want update it.
Should I first update TWRP to latest version?
Can I wipe everything and straightly flash to latest OxygenOS and then to LineageOS?
When should I flash/instal Gapps and Magisk? Right after flashing LineageOS or I need to first need to restart it?
Thanks for help.

At first it's necessary to update to 5.1.4 oxygenOS and then 5.1.5. Directly to 5.1.5, isn't working for most people. You can install latest blu spark twrp recovery before or after the os update.
After this you're ready to to install lineageos, gapps, magisk in this order.
It may be useful to format internal storage, since it can be blocking the boot.
Good luck :good:

Thanks very much

Can't upgrade from Lineageos 15.1 to Lineageos 16 (microg)

Hey,
there are already three different Lineageos (microg) 16 builds. But after I am flashing one of them, my Xiaomi Mi A1 boots into complete darkness/ black screen. Any idea what are doing wrong?
Workflow:
boot twrp recovery.img
flash lineage 16 (microg) e.g. lineage-16.0-20190409-microG-tissot.zip
reboot system
-> black screen
When I reflash 15.1 (lineage-15.1-20190313-microG-tissot.zip) everything works as expected! Any idea?

Flash latest stock Pie and then 16 LOS.

Maybe the problem is the recovery. What recovery do you use?

Similar upgrade and failed Lineageos 15.1 install

Hello and good day! I'm planning to follow a similar upgrade path on a HTC M10 running Android 8.0 via Lineageos 15.1 install. Lineageos 15.1 installs with no errors in TWRP, device is rebooted, Lineageos logo crosses screen for several minutes, and device returns to TWRP recovery instead of starting phone. After the second re-install, I installed the OEM boot.img and same outcome. Any suggests how to proceed next?

You should post this in the HTC M10 section or the LOS 15.1 thread for your phone. The solution works here may not work for your phone.

Gudiance appreicated.
Guidance is appreciated and will do. Thanks. Danny.

Locked in fastboot mode after sideloading Lineage OS

I was running on OOS 10.3 rooted with Magisk and flashed TWRP.
I tried to install Lineage OS 16 (the last version from the official website), but after sideloading it and the superSU file in TWRP I could only reboot in the Lineage recovery mode. I tried to flash a unofficial version of Lineage 17 but still not working, the Lineage recovery mode just became rainbow colored. Then I tried to do a factory reset and flash an OOS and since then I have no more access to the recovery mode and the only thing I have when I try to access it or when I turn on the phone is the unlocked boot loader message. I can only access the fastboot mode. Sometimes when I turn it on, I also have the Qualcomm Crashdump message, but nor every time.
I read about MSM, but I'm running on mac OS... Any ideas of solutions I can try with mac terminal?
Thanks for your help

Fastboot ROM. It's available in the Guides Section and the Instructions are pretty straightforward. You can Google "OP6T Fastboot ROM". Also, from the looks of it, you didn't flash LOS Correctly.

If you had TWRP why sideload LOS? Here's how I flash LOS.

Thank you very much for your advices, I managed to flash OOS back and install successfully Lineage OS 17.1 ! :good:

I fastbooted the original ROM and installed TWRP back. Then I used TWRP to install LOS from a zip file. Basically I followed OhioYJ's instructions on his comment above.

Problems with installing LineageOS 17.1

Good morrning everyone!
i am a little bit helpless with my plan to flash LineageOS 17.1 onto my OP 6T. I started from LineageOS 16, which was rooted with Magisk.
With my first attempt I followed the instructions from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fajita/install. I used the latest files from 20200903 of LineageOS. But after flashing temporarily the recovery, I ended up with a stuck in oem-unlock-screen. To fix it i used the MSMtool 4.0.59.
I flashed only boot and not boot_a or boot_b. So I tried it with that now. But I only got the same results. I was unable to boot into recovery. So again MSM Tool and unlocking the bootloader.
Then I tried to install it via TWRP. OOS 9.0.13:
1. booted into fastboot mode
2. booted TWRP 3.3.1.0
3. Wiped Data and rebooted into fastboot mode
4. booted again TWRP 3.3.1.0
5. installed LineageOS lineage-17.1-20200903-nightly-fajita-signed.zip
6. installed TWRP 3.4.0
7. rebooted into recovery
8. repeated 5. and 6.
9. rebooted into recovery
10. installed open gapps-nano
11. installed Magisk 20.4
12. rebooted the system
Result: Qualcomm CrashDump Mode......
I do not understand what I did wrong. In June I installed Lineage OS on another OP 6T and it worked fine with flashing the recovery to boot_a. But I do not know which OOS was installed. No I am trying it since hours and only end up in the above mentioned results.
What do I have to do? Thanks for your help in advance!

My LOS Install Guide
- Don't use TWRP 3.4.x. Use 3.3.1-32 (The latest 3.3.1 version.) 3.4.x will give you issues.

Thank you lot. Lineage ist booting =)

I also just noticed you are trying to use a very old version of OOS (which also means old firmware). Why are you using 9.0.13? Perhaps this could be your issue.
I need to update my guide, but 10.3.5, and the latest weekly 9-3 work fine. One warning, I never did get the 10.3.5 fastboot ROM to work on either of my 6Ts. The 10.3.4 Fastboot ROM works fine, then I had to update to 10.3.5 using TWRP.
I asked if anyone else had problems with the 10.3.5 fastboot ROM in the fastboot thread but didnt get any replies...

I started at first wit OOS 9 because of the latest (?) msm tool. I regocnized later, that it is crucial to update OOS to Android 10 what I did after I posted my question. I installed OOS 10.3.5 from oneplus.com via TWRP.
So all I had to do yesterday was to reinstall TWRP 3.3.1-32.
Your guide for installing LineageOS was by far the best I got. All the little explenations were the things I needed to understand, why the steps had to be done. So again thank you for your help and your guide which is really really good.

Also if you like themed TWRP @acuicultor and @ morphine1e1 have a really nice creation for OP6/6t here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...covery-theme-blacked-twrp-acuicultor-t3847752
It's latest twrp but I've been using it for months without any issues and I flash much more than a regular user. Installed LOS twice and all good.

或许你应该先升级到安卓10 再去安装lineage os 17

Invalid kernel length after flashing TWRP

Hi,
I've istalled the latest LineageOS 18.1 on my T580. Unfortunatly I checked the option where Lineage would install its own recovery. Becaause I wanted to go back to TWRP I used the TWRP app to install the latest TWRP recovery. After a reboot the message "Could not do normal boot invalid kernel length" came and I can't boot either in the OS, nor recovery or download mode. Any chance of saving my device?

If you have the Exynos wifi variant, you should be able to flash TWRP recovery with Odin, like described here:
[Recovery][T580] Official TWRP for Galaxy Tab A 10.1 WiFi 2016 (gtaxlwifi)
Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.2-0 This is for the Exynos WiFi SM-T580 model only! WARNING: Flashing a custom recovery to your device will trip the Knox warranty bit on your phone. Check with your retailer to see if they will still cover...
