Installation:
If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first. You can get the recommended TWRP recovery in the official installation instructions link below.
If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset.
If you are coming from LineageOS 15.1 with f2fs userdata, you need to format the userdata partition! Read the second post for more information.
As always, make sure to backup before installing this ROM.

Upgrade instructions from LineageOS 15.1
Lenovo used a very old version of f2fs which is incompatible with latest f2fs version of 3.18 kernel. In order to keep the device updated with the latest features, it was necessary to upgrade f2fs with the downside of existing users need to format the userdata partition. If you want to keep your userdata, follow these steps. Keep in mind any apps using the keystore will be broken and you will need to clear their app data and set them up from scratch. If you used ext4 for userdata, you can simply upgrade without any breakage.
If you want to keep and migrate your 15.1 data and internal storage contents (only on incoming official builds!):
1. backup userdata in your current TWRP and take an internal storage backup on your PC.
2. reboot to bootloader
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-20190209-kuntao.img
4. reboot to recovery by holding vol up + vol down + home + power buttons
5. main menu -> wipe -> format data
6. main menu -> reboot -> reboot recovery
7. flash lineage zip (and gapps/whatever else you want)
8. restore userdata backup and internal storage backup
9. delete /data/system/locksettings.db, you will have to set your lockscreen protection again when it boots
If you want a completely clean install just skip steps 1, 8 and 9.
I tested this process and it worked coming from lineage-15.1 or stock ROM.

Yeah! Thaaaaaanks Mike!

Thanks dude . Love your work

Thanks a lot mike!

AWESOME! Thank you.

Los 16.0 is replacing 15.1 so build will probably come tomorrow. I think.

At 8:00 UCT
So one hour and a half.

https://www.lineageoslog.com/16.0/kuntao
Sorry! Unfortunately I was wrong.

So if I already have ext4 data partition I can simply install the new 16.0 update without having to migrate the data etc?
Do I need the new recovery too?

Normally the build of the images starts on sunday 8utc am, so 10am my time. we'll see ^^ thx mike!
@philje123 i will test it out, as soon as the rom is available. i am too on ext4 already, i am using the new twrp since february, even with the 15.1 build. i will try to simply upgrade from 15.1 to 16, so i don't have to reinstall all apps. i will write, if it was working for me.

Yes, you need new recovery, but flashing new recovery do NOT wipe your data. It contain a newest format of f2fs format. On TWRP page you have a guide, how to flash it step by step on your phone without meet do plug your phone to PC.

Thanks Mike waiting for awesome

Should we expect a build this sunday at 10 am european time ?

I thing about 1 pm CEST (European Time)

I remember last year on presentation 15.1 it took a couple of days before we could download after announcement.
Mikes work is awesome. But his timing
But anyway, I'm looking forward for this rom and I thank all the developers :good:

i mean it depends, when the build for the 16 roms is starting everyday, but according to this site https://www.lineageoslog.com/build/scheduler we will get nightly builds, instead of weekly ones.
so that means, daily snapshots, like we had with 15.1 from july till november, before we only got one update a week. but no matter when, i am just happy that 16 is finally here ;D
no matter if we have to wait another day or not for the first build. but still - it's just amazing how much love the p2 gets. it is still one of the best, if not THE best device i've ever had. perfect performance for daily usage, even with slight gaming and i only need to charge my device once or twice a week. that's incredible! my device is now over 2 years old and my battery still lasts 4~6 days with one charge <3 best phone ever created hahahaha - and thx to people like mike, it is up to date too =) i hate lenovo as brand, when it comes to software updates, but the hardware is awesome, for that price tag...

Samsung Note 3 N9005 + TWRP 3.x = bootloop

Hello!
I try to install the latest version of lineage on my note 3 and followed the tutorial on the lineage website.
However, I got some issues getting the latest version of TWRP on the phone. Beside the method via heimdall I've also tried Odin and update via old TWRP install and sd card. I also installed the stock rom again and retried flashing but nothing worked.
Basically I can flash old TWRP and get into the TWRP recovery mode - twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img works perfectly fine. But when I try twrp-3.4.0-0-hlte or trwp-3x though the flash is confirmed I cannot get into recoverymode and will end up in a bootloop.
I've tried twrp-3.2.2-0-hlte, twrp-3.1.1-0-hlte, twrp-3.4.0-0-hlte all with same result (bootloop). Only version that works is twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4
Any idea where this issue may come from?
Any other recovery tool I could use to get lineage on my note3?

update:
hmm why would the recovery system care for the os?
fwiw I updated the firmware to the latest official version (android 5.0) and then retried.
same result: with TWRP 2.8.7.0 I can flash and get into recovery mode. TWRP 3.x I can flash and they will bootloop
TWRP 2.8.7.0 I get the message
"Recovery booting...
recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit: recovery"
=> TWRP recovery mode
TWRP 3.x
"Recovery booting...
Set warranty bit: recovery"
=> bootloop

I found a possible reason in the TWRP thread: LCD and Digitizer may have been replaced and hardware change could case this. I am not sure though

If you've got one of those finicky devices which seems to have slightly different hardware then you may find this build works:

However be aware it's also likely you will not be able to boot any recent android version on your device if this is the case.

Hi smuffy,
May I know what lineage version are u flashing?
I'm facing same problem also, can you please guide me how to solve this issue?
Thanks

I do not remember exactly but I think the latest by that time.
However I was unable to make lineage detect my SIM card after that. I tried some other workarounds but it never worked and I finally gave up.

Which TWRP are you using? I had the custom "twrp 3311 ashyx".
I just checked, 17.1+ also does not work for me. Just as you stuck in bootloop.

With this (ashyx) https://www.alebalweb.com/note3/note3-sm-n9005--twrp--work-on-my-note3.zip los 17 work until 02 jan 2021... Then bootloop...

Stuck at bootloader--HELP!

Let's get this out of the way. I don't have much experience flashing ROMs. I've done it on a few phones, but I can't say I really understood what I was doing. I'm just good at following directions. So, I know about enough to get into trouble.
And ...I've gotten into trouble. My goal is to install LineageOS on my brother's Essential Phone. Based on directions I found here, I determined the active slot was b, so I installed TWRP on slot a. TWRP worked in recovery, but without touch. I then flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img to the non-active slot. Lastly, I sideloaded twrp-installer-mata-3.2.3-0.zip. I then changed the active slot back to b and rebooted. It now boots only to the bootloader and not to the OS. No matter what option I select--Start, Bootloader, Recovery--it reboots to the bootloader.
Any help to get out of this would be greatly appreciated.

Lineage can be installed more easily using Lineage's own Recovery rather than using TWRP. The Lineage Recovery is a pre-built replacement for your boot.img file.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had actually already tried that. That's when I got desperate and tried generic TWRP. When I try to flash the Lineage recovery image I get a "No such partition" error, no matter which partition is active. I read somewhere that the flash boot_[letter] command might work, but I get "Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.

Try:
Fastboot flash:raw boot_slot recovery.img

So, I found a solution. In order to overcome the errors I was getting, I had to use the raw command. So it was fastboot flash:raw boot [image file]. Once Lineage recovery was installed, I could boot to recovery and sideload Lineage.

I guess our replies crossed. At any rate, the raw command did the trick. Thanks for your help.

I'm having the same problem, and the raw command doesn't seem to help. Trying to install twrp causes it to be stuck in the bootloader. I somehow was able to install the lineage recovery, then to install the lineage OS. Because I am thinking of trying other ROMs, I decided to go back to trying the TWRP install. Now everything seems broken. When I use the a slot (where I installed TWRP), I'm stuck in the bootloader. When I shift to the b slot, I'm stuck on the Lineage splash page.
(By the way, while I was in the Lineage recovery at some point in the middle of all this, I also sideloaded the TWRP install zip.)
I've tried flashing the TWRP numerous times, and it always seems to work, but the result still is the same.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I was able to get out of the loop by reflashing the Lineage Recovery, booting into that recovery, then doing a factory wipe. I was able to boot into Lineage. But why can't I successfully install TWRP? Or, I guess, alternately, is it possible to use the Lineage Recovery to flash different ROMs? (Sorry if this goes beyond the scope of the original question.)

Is Lineage using an Android 10 security update after January? January is the last update for Android 10 that TWRP worked with. Once Essential went belly up the TWRP devs just stopped updating when it broke with February security update. Anyway, I just thought I would mention it.

I installed Lineageos directly on the february android stock version. (which is the last one from Essential)
Simply by following the tutorial on the LineageOS website.
Everything worked the first time.
So there is no need to switch back to the January android stock version. The image recovery provided by Lineage works very well.
And for your information LineageOS is updated almost every Monday.
Moreover the developers of the TWRP are not the developers of Essential. Company which closed at the end of February.

I'm of two minds; one is just to go with something stock android-ish, which leads me to Evolution X or Pixel Experience. The other is to cut myself from Google entirely, which leads me to /e/. I'm also looking at Paranoid, just because it looks like it's stable. Any thoughts on any of those?
I had updated Essential to the February update; would that be why TWRP would not successfully install on my phone?
Would that still be true if I had flashed Lineage?

Paranoid Android: What I heard is VoLTE broken, if you enable it, SMS/MMS might not work properly.
Evolution: No update in Android 10 since August, not sure they contine to support Essential phone for Android 11
Pixel Experience: I don't think they Anroid 10 for Essential phone, only official Anroid 9 which is too old
TWRP issue: You need to go back to Jan stock rom before going to any rom if you just flashed LOS
What current stable rom with Nov security update: I'm using crDroid 6.12 (unofficial release but from XDA reliable source)

LineageOS installs ok but bootloops instantly

Nokia x6 ta-1099 CN.
This week any and all versions of LineageOS (official 17-19, incl. microG versions) started to bootloop instantly after the flashing. I.e the rom installs fine, recovery menu works, but when the lineageOS logo comes up, it only lasts for abt. 1 seconds before auto-rebooting the phone.
I used to be able to install and run LineageOS in the past no problem using LineageOS official method (adb sideload) as well as TWRP "wipe->flash" method. Also, non-lineageOS roms work fine (HavocOS, PixelPlusUI, ArrowOS, AOSP).
Any reason why it suddenly bootloops? Is there any rookie mistake I'm making here?

are you doing a Clean Wipe before install?
clean wipe - wipe all partitions excluding vendor.

(S4 GT-i9506) TWRP for Android 13 ?

Hi, so my phone is running Android 13 (LineageOS 20.0) and i have TWRP (3.5.2_9-0) installed, recovery was working before flashing Android 13 but now it wont boot for some reason (stuck on TWRP splash). I think i need an higher version of TWRP. If anyone could help or provide a link it would be really helpful. (Also my phone is currently rooted using Magisk)

TWRP doesn't need any android to boot as it uses the recovery partition (in case of S4). All it needs is access to the data partition to save the configuration.
