LineagesOS 18 does not work - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello to everyone
I have a Samsung S3 Neo (s3ve3gxx) and used for some years with 17.1 (Android 10).
The device worked more or less perfectly, and then I decided to upgrade to LineagesOS 18.1 (Android 11), as there is an official image.
I followed the instructions step-by-step.
* The result of "getprop ro.bootloader" is i9301ixxuanl1
* I've installed the LineagesOS 18.1 recovery with twrp
* I've formatted/restored all partitions
* I've installed LineageOS 18.1 from the recovery with adb
* I did not install any additional addon (lie gapps)
And yet the device is stuck in a bootlpop.
I tested a couple of different images for 18.1, all with the same result.
Does anyone else had a similar issue?
What type of information can I collect in order to diagnose the issue?

Go ahead and downgrade to LOS 17!

OREO, can someone with FINGERPRINTS and ENCRYPTION working tell me how you did it?

US997 user here.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get both working. The rom doesn't seem to make any difference but the bootloader or kernel does. What happens to me is the following:
Situation 1 (Fingerprints but encryption hangs up)
TWRP: 3.2.1_rel_o2-melina
Kernel: The one with lineageos (3.18.113)
Bootloader: Nougat US997_17A_(TWRP)_bootloader_only.zip
Rom: Lineageos 15.1 (tried both version on the forums here) and ASOPextended
No Gapps
In TWRP I wipe/format everything. Then install bootloader, then lineageos. Fingerprints work but encryptions hangs at (Time remaining 00:00 with the green android)
Situation 2
TWRP: 3.2.1_rel_o2-melina
Kernel: boot_LG-US997_3.18.71-melina-rel_o2_2018.06.08_STOCK_zefie
Bootloader: Nougat US997_17A_(TWRP)_bootloader_only.zip
Rom: Lineageos 15.1
No Gapps
In TWRP I wipe/format everything. Then install bootloader, then lineageos, then kernel. Once into Lineage I don't have the fingerprint option but I can go with the encryption no problem.
Can please someone who has both working tell me what you have done ? Thanks a lot!
Tried to flash the kernel with zefie anti-root removal and still doesn't work

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.

Stuck With Shield TV Got Lineage But No Gapps Work?

Hi I have firstly upgraded the official firmware on a Shield Android TV 2015 (Foster) to version 11 Android TV OS then i decided I hate it so I flashed twrp worrked fine got Lineage 17.1 Android 10 on it now but I add Gapps from open Gapps versions ARM x64 nano or pico it doesn't matter which I add if you add any Gapps then it won't boot into the Lineage OS it just sits in a seemingly semi-brick state only ever providing the boot animation circles only it never passes although the system is working to pickup adb otherwise it would be a full brick.
Can someone help literally point out what I need to do to get it working with play store please.
My assumption is it requires a custom Gapps not regular Gapps as is the case with some os's sometimes but i cannot find links to try for anything other than stock Gapps.
Have you installed GApps before initial boot ?

LineageOS 18.1 + Root + MicroG : Possible ? Or need to downgrade ?

Hello everybody !
I'm a bit at loss with my phone, and I'd love some help. I've been reading threads for several hours, but couldn't find any solid answer.
My situation : I updated from LineageOS 16 + MicroG to LineageOS 18.1 using adb and TWRP. Once installed, I found out that there was no root access for apps on 18.1. I tried to install Magisk via TWRP to gain said root access, but I can't (due to the error `Cannot unmount /system` in TWRP). I tried various solutions from XDA or elsewhere to solve this, but none worked.
Because of this, I'm a bit stuck. Root access is essential for several apps that I use, and I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to have LineageOS 18.1 + MicroG + root access.
Did it work for any of you ? If so, how did you do it ? And if not, is there a safe way to come back to LineageOS 16 ?

Opengapps install fail A5 2016 a510f - 17.1 and 18.1

Guys. Not first time I install lineage and open gaps. Some time ago I already had lineage after original ROM on my A510f.
I wanted to update Lineage becouse something happens with system. I used TWRP, andsame system installed great but later have a problem with all opengapps (arm) instalation. Maybe not instalation because all goes OK, but after rebooting phone can not start and trying to ask for account. Nothing works. All version of OG checked on 17.1 and 18.1 and different TWRP. Have no idea what I make wrong or what happens, but still this same problem. I wiped all what was possible in TWRP and OG installed from SD. System ok, OG - not. Help.
