I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A - SM-P580. After trashing everything and starting from scratch, I was finally was able to get Lineage installed- lineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-gtanotexlwifi. When I tried to install MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439, I was greeted with an error (Updater process ended with Error: 1. Error installing zip file etc. etc.). I had originally installed Lineage 19 and had rebooted and then found out app the Google apps install. I initially installed a version of NikGapps. I performed a factory reset from with the OS and reinstalled Lineage and then MindTheGapps, before booting into the OS and got the same error when installing MindTheGapps. I noticed that even after the factory reset from within the OS, it still retained my Google account information. And still at this point, even though I was able to connect to the Internet on my WiFi, I could not access the Internet at all. HELP - before this tablet get skimmed across the water like a flat rock. Thank you!!
Why haven't you posted this in my thread? Barely anyone would see this here. There's a greater chance someone could've helped you in my thread.
The factory reset function in Android's settings might not work, which I'm guessing it wouldn't have in your case. It's untested. Factory resets should be done in recovery.
Can't really help with Google app issues since I don't use them, but you should do a factory reset within recovery, format system, reinstall my build, and then install NikGapps (use the core package by the way, if what you have is a heavier package).

Thank you for the input. I've made some progress and am closing to a working tablet.
I posted in your thread a little while ago. Thanks again!

I dug deeper into fallingup's recovery thread. It never occurred to me that it might make a difference to clear cache and factory reset AFTER doing an update. I did that, which seemed to clear up my FC loop. I fell into a page that asked me what language I was speaking, and was prompted to set up my google account -- which failed. Couldn't connect to data services, not even WIFI. So *228 and Activated my phone (again). Google still wouldn't log in. Went to Settings/Privacy/Factory reset. Selected English, google logged in this time. My phone appears to be completely back to its original stock state. Root is gone. Even bing is back, lovely. Thanks angel12!
... now if I could just figure out why that update.zip paired with the modem.tar that started all this wouldn't sing for me in recovery mode.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
First off, I apologize for cluttering this forum, but I'm at a bit of a loss here. I also failed to find the server for IRC. I'd really appreciate a small push.
Here goes: I got into download mode from the command line. I flashed over my modem with Odin, got a PASS, rebooted fully (shouldn't have done this) with no errors. Next, I popped into recovery mode. From there, I decided to factory reset _and_ wipe my cache -- it seemed like a good idea at the time. It seems like a bad idea now. Finally, I told recovery to apply update.zip from my sdcard. It flat out refused! Complained that the .zip wasn't signed. So, I rebooted.
I then experienced my first FC loop! The culprit is TouchWiz launcher, which just repeatedly closes unexpectedly.
So then I restored the DI01 modem, which didn't change a thing. Next, I ran Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5 through Odin. It updated with no problems.
However, I still have my Force Close Loop, which I expected going to stock would fix.
What I think is really going on is I'd been using ADW Launcher, coupled with an app that switched it to being the 'default'. Something somewhere, must be giving TWiz a hard time.
The good news is I still have adb shell access and root.
* Is there anything I can do to make that homescreen switcher app run on my phone without using a launcher (from shell, for instance)?
* Is there some important point I'm missing about my recovery (I've flashed back everything I changed, at least in my mind)
* Perhaps I could flash something else from Recovery, and that would clear this up?
* It would be great to know what I did that messed this up.
EDIT:
I meant DI01, not "Di05". Nice catch!
It turned out in my case that data wipes were crucial - the factory wipe in system, and the data/factory reset &or cache partition in recovery mode.

Follow this to the letter. Been there, done that. Home Switcher isn't what went wrong. You'll be fine in 10 minutes.
Wait. DI05??? Do you mean DI01 or DJ05? You need to make sure you flash the modem that matches your ROM. Either easy is fine, and probably didn't have anything to do with your force close loop, but make sure they match or you won't be able to text.
And PDA in Odin.
Ok here is the situation....
I soft-bricked my D802 after simply restarting the phone today (stuck on loading screen). Dunno how it happened but it did. Luckily, I thought, I had a recovery file from TWRP.....restored it....didn't work.
So I said, 'oh well, let's just update it anyway'. So I did a simple factory reset using TWRP, and installed the latest CM12.
Not I can get into the Android System, but all my apps....gone! I am pretty sure I didn't delete the files because when I look into the settings, the harddisk space is still taken up. Also, when the new CM12 initiated it said 98 apps upgrading. So I'm pretty sure the apps are there.
The problem is, all of them are now gone. What's worse, all GAPPS except Gmail are gone too. There is no way to do anything about it even after I reflashed GAPPS.
Desperately needing help.
Factory reset in recovery delete your apps.

Use a file manager and look to see if you have more than one sdcard. This happened to me. The folder is called 0 everything should be in there
Been trying to flash Android 9 based ROMs to my SM-N900V, always the same result. Tried lineage official, unofficial, as well as a couple others. I have latest TWRP for hltemo. I wipe everything but microSD, format data. Flash ROM, wipe Dalvik, flash gapps, wipe Dalvik then rebooting. Is there some other formatting I should be doing? Am I missing something?
Just tried latest lineage build, latest gapps, no difference. Still stuck on "Just a sec...." I guess I must be the only one with this problem? Thankfully not my primary phone any more.
Someone over on Reddit suggested removing /data/system/app-ops.XML, apparently that worked for them. Not me though ?

you have to be in a proper internet connection(or none at all, both works) during setup since it will prompt you to login with your google account
though alternatively, you can use different gapps packages like bitgapps where it doesnt have the setup wizard included(its optional if you need to backup contacts/messages through google) to bypass those, or find the setup wizard apk from /system/app or /system/priv-app and delete it yourself

Tried deleting the lineage setup wizard (actually I just renamed it). Tried flashing just the ROM with no gapps, that results in a blank screen with only volume buttons / reboot power off available.
Gave up, found an unofficial lineage 17.1 (!) for Note 3 & flashed it. Finally passed "Just a sec...."!!

lineage setup wizard is different to google's, los has their own setup wizard(including los-based roms like crdroid and ressurectionremix), so its likely to break if you remove it, whereas aosp-based roms(e.g. havoc and others) relies on google's own setup wizard
I'm doing the root process after months of dealing with Google Play screwing with me, and reaching the point of being unable to load ANYTHING, including rooting and backup programs or even just uninstalling and reinstall from APK. Is there anything that can be done other than a factory reset?
Nobody got any suggestions?
I'm clutching at straws here.

You don't give much information specific to your problem.
Something important about this device is you should never factory reset.
Instead use format data, cache.
This is easy once you have twrp installed.
No factory reset?
Thanks for the response! Can you say why "factory reset" is such a bad idea? I have been hesitant to do that, which is why I'm posting here, but so far I'm not seeing much in the way of another option. I definitely do not want to "brick" my Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5 [SM-T590], but it's starting to seem like maybe I already have to some extent, though I can still use some programs previously installed.
My main problem at this point is, I'm lacking the ability to install ANYTHING I've found since this trouble started. I have tried it with various programs, even things previously installed successfully that later began malfunctioning, so I attempted to remove and reinstall, then I always get the message "App not installed." I have tried to find the various Google settings that people mention, but nothing seems to be located where it is supposed to be.

Hi. I have a Xiaomi MiA1, Lineage 16.0 (I try to update it two or three times per week). It is rooted. I use openGapps.
I have a problem since yesterday: suddenly, my phone got a lot of lag that makes impossible the use. KLWP got closed (it stopped being the default background), Nova Launcher was lagging and restarting several times. Openning any app was impossible, including the settings and system, it freezes and closes, returning to the launcher home screen... I tried to stop, clean data and delete klwp, nova, but i got the same result. The minutes passed and it got worse. Finally, the phone freezed, the clock wasn't working, so the only solution was doing a manual soft reset.
So, yesterday I did a dirty flash, because I didn't have a recent backup. I used SDMaid database feature in the morning so I tought maybe it was bad executed and was the origin of the issue. I tried to rescue some information (to backup some app data) with oandbackups. I cleaned caché and did a Factory reset. It seem to work. and do a clean installation. at first, it seem like it worked. I installed the apps I had by my Google account, and went to sleep. Today, it was ready, I turned it off and charged it, and in the morning: again the crash. So I did a clean installation. Again, it seemed to work. It installed all my apps and... crash again. I fear it could be some launcher issue? any prob with lineage? Any app? How can I know whats happening?
Sorry for my bad english. Any help would be apreciated.

Keeping in mind the kind of apps you mentioned, I'd go with an app+data backup of those apps you installed and uninstall them completely, check if problem is still there.
I suspect you're facing a compatibility or configuration issue, since both apps are related to home screen.
If problem is solved, first read if those apps are actually compatible with ROM and OS version, then you could try to install just one app, without data, and check if things go well (give it a day), same with the rest until you can confirm OS is working well with apps just installed, no changes made in them yet... In other words, were trying to confirm that problem comes from apps and/or their configurations, so you could somehow report those issues to apps developers. You can use Catalog or other apps to record System logs until app crashes.
On the other hand, if problem is still there, even before you started to reinstall apps, then Dirty flashing isn't a good choice in that case, since it preserves System configurations, no mention your device is rooted, were user changes are present... you are opened to different problems, worse if you use an old Magisk version, or installed modules there, or apps that force your OS to do things it doesn't do in it's original state.
So, as you were so dare to go with a dirty flash, you could better go with a clean flash instead.
Erase any system lock protection (fingerprint, pattern, etc), do a ROM Backup from TWRP, flash latest firmware and make a clean install of the latest version of the ROM of your choice, keeping in mind their own flashing procedure.
As with above reply, if a completely clean install doesnt work, consider going back to a previous lineage release. If it still doesnt work, consider a full EDL stock rom reflash using MiFlash -- then flash your custom rom.

I made a clean flash in the morning, with the same results, so there's when I thought it could be an app the main problem. It worked with Nova a few hours.
I just followed your instructions, I installed the last firmware (the jan one) and the last rom of lineage. I didn't installed the apps in my google backup so I can install them and check how is the behaviour. I will install CatLog so I can check the logs too! I really hope installing the firmware was enough. Thank you very much!

I was planning to reflash the custom ROM but I couln't find the latest one that's compatible with MiFlash. I really hope the clean install is enought... thank you

In any case, if you went with a clean flash, try to leave your system free of user installed apps for a few and check how it goes.
