Hi jason, glad you liked it !
Enjoy your new phone

Thanks works perfect! Just the mic that wont work on whatsapp, but its ok.

I have a LG-G3 D855 Europe version with 16GB internal storage and 2GB RAM
I read that the main camera doesn't work on the D855 (European version), is that correct?
What else doesn't work when Android 11 is on it?
I have a LG-G3 D855 Euro version with 16GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM.
At the moment I have Fulmix ROM 6.9 installed (is Android Marshmallow 6) and thus also rooted.
So I could then install the new TWRP 3.5 and then the ROM Lineage OS 18.1 afterwards, proceed as described or do I have to pay attention to something else?
Thanks for the hints and tips

Installed... no WLAN on my LG G3 D855 with Lineage 18.1
Ok, now I've set everything up successfully, on my almost 7-year-old LG-G3-D855 with only 32 GB of memory and still a poor 32-bit device.
The WLAN settings required that I had to switch the WLAN encryption to WPA2 CWP on the AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe.
It's sad that such an Android 11 as Lineage 18.1 doesn't get along with normal settings in the Fritzbox as WPA2/WPA3. Didn't the developers pay attention again? something like that is allowed with Android 11 !!! not happen.
Even my old Fulmics 6.9 ROM could work perfectly with the Fritzbox 6660 Frotz OS 7.29 in 2.4 and 5 GHz mode, only Lineage 18.1 can't do anything with it. Already very sad.
But ok, I solved the problem and now the front and rear cameras work as well. I still have to look for an icon pack for the surface, the normal icons look terrible!

Glad you did it.
I don't remember having troubles with Camera.
I can't help about this AVM Fritzbox 6660 Cabe thing. I don't know this.

Hello friend, I have installed this ROM, but testing it, I verify that it does not record video. I have tried other apps such as Open Camera or even the LG Camera apk and the same problem still does not record video. At first I even did a factory reset to see but it still can't record video, do you know any solution or is it because it's the latest version of official Lineage OS that I flashed, what version does the video camera work with? Thank you.

I had Fulmix 8 and proceed this tutorial and it went well. I wanted Lineage because with Android 6 there are many apps that no longer run. The problem with Lineage OS is that the video camera does not record.

[GUIDE/TUTORIAL/HOWTO] Google Nexus 7 2013 LTE/deb or Wi-Fi-only/flo to Android 13 / LineageOS 20 with Netflix/Disney+ working
This detailed step-by-step guide helps you transform your Google Nexus 7 (4G or wifi) with Android 6 to a fresher one with Android 13.
### I'll make a few notes using this style: PLEASE READ THEM.
Before going further, make sure you have the correct model.
Go to Settings > About tablet > Model number: Nexus 7
And on tablet's back cover: Nexus is written vertically (horizontally on 2012 model)
### See here if not clear: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/58273/how-to-distinguish-nexus-7-2012-and-nexus-7-2013
If you have a SIM card slot on the side, it is a LTE model (codename deb), if not, Wi-Fi only alias flo.
Make sure you have latest official updates.
Connect tab to Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings > About tablet > System updates. Download if update is available.
### WARNING. I'm not sure banking apps will work. Office Lens and Adobe Scan don't work.

Hi,
thx for your post.
I'm glad it's useful.

Hi, been running my Nexus 7 rooted and on custom Android 6 based ROM and kernal for probably the last 6 years. Admittedly used very little, but still runs like a champ, if not a little sluggish. So I just decided to check back in to XDA and so happy to find this and try it out. However, GApps link not working for me. "File requested does not exist" Any possibility to fix link?
Thanks very much to OP!!
Edit: wow, pardon the banner, haven't been on XDA like I said for maybe six years, or more!
Edit 2: I believe I found the same GApps from another link djibe89 posted in LG G3 tutorial for the same process. Here:

Fantastic! Everything was going smoothly. But the GApps kept failing on install (Unsupported SDK version, and Install config not found). Thought it might be the version I downloaded, but I came back here and found your reply, so rebooted recovery after Lineage 19 install, installed GApps package, wiped Dalvik/Cache, installed Magisk, wiped dalvik/cache, and rebooted system. Joy! Now appears to be up and running. Seems as though reboot>recovery after ROM flash made the difference. Haven't rooted yet, but I am having a lot of fun. Huge gratitude to you for this tutorial and development work, as well as quick reply. Thank you!
Edit: Ahh, I'm pretty rusty. Realized now Lineage 19 is based off of Android 12, instead of 11. So I installed GApps for 11, not 12. Maybe something to do with it...?

Thanks, worked great for me running unofficial Lineage 19/Android 12! I wasn't able to install official Lineage 18.1. TWRP rejected install because it did not recognize my device as flox. I thought that the repartition package renamed it to this, but anyway that is what I ran into.

WARNING. This tutorial uses Microsoft Windows.
WARNING. Warranty is now void.
WARNING. Read carefully the sentences starting with ###.
2) BACKUP DATA AND INSTALL DRIVERS
Disable Antivirus.
Install drivers from my pack:
right click on HTCDriver.exe > click on Run as administrator and continue the setup.
Connect HTC One (while phone on) to PC, let drivers install.
In Windows explorer, HTC One should be available.
### If not make sure phone connection is in File transfer mode (see Android notifications).
### Phone is still not visible in Windows Explorer ? See fix at end of tutorial.
Collect all personal photos, videos, etc ... and backup these on PC.
Use an app like Backupyourmobile/SMS Backup & Resotre to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Check that backup is located on microSD card.
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Disconnect phone.
### If your phone is Simlocked/carrier locked/Network locked, don't go further.
Visit official website of your network carrier (or call their support) to retrieve your desimlock code.
Ask them for details on how to remove simlock.
How do I know my phone is simlocked ? When you insert a SIM card from another operator, network is inaccessible.
Only a stock ROM can remove simlock.
To go back from custom ROM to stock, see dedicated section at the end of tutorial.
2) KNOW YOUR MODEL
Shutdown phone.
Start in fastboot mode: hold Power + Volume- until it vibrates and release both buttons.
Wait until hTC download mode shows up.
On mine I see:
SECURITY: *** UNLOCKED ***
model: htc_himawhl
CID-11111111
SECURITY UNLOCKED means S-OFF for SECURITY-OFF, otherwise S-ON. With S-ON you can upgrade firmwares but cannot use previous versions.
3) UPGRADE TO LATEST OFFICIAL ROM
In Android, go to Settings > About > Software information.
Android version is 7 and HTC Sense version is 8.0.
If Android is already 7, go to next chapter.
But before, search for IMEI and note this number somewhere safe (we never know).
Otherwise, we need to flash suitable stock Android 7 Nougat firmware, depending on your model.
In Settings > About > Software information, note down Software version (in case of future error).
For me it is 3.41.651.4 (651 is the SKU part, meaning Sprint US ROM).
See Sneakyghost's and Behold_this' SKU-, CID- and MID-List: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10H7RftecZZKb5tT2zpShfYNFAfSe-imhhqtVfeMPVDA/edit?pli=1#gid=0
Now tap on More > tap 7 times on Build number. It unlocks Developer options.
Go back to Settings menu, you can see the new Developer options menu.
Tap on it, accept the warning.
Switch ON USB debugging option.
Connect phone, a message appears on phone : Allow USB debugging?
check Always allow and confirm by tapping on OK.
But before upgrading to Android 7 Nougat, you need the latest Android 6 official ROM available for your model.
- Himaul or Himaulatt: RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_3.35.617.16.exe
- Himaultmus, not sure you can get Android 7: http://downloadmirror.co/android/29Ri/RUU_HIMA_UL_M60_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_3.39.531.7.exe
- Himawhl: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=334967 or https://downloadmirror.co/1KrL/RUU_HIMA_WHL_M60_SENSE70_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.41.651.21.exe
- Himawl: http://downloadmirror.co/android/29...0105_CNV_1.26_002_release_469809_signed_1.zip
RUU*.exe: launch installer, connect phone (from within Android started or in Download mode) and follow executable steps.
Wait during flash.
After reboot, you have access to HTC software updates.
Go to Settings > System updates > HTC software update > CHECK NOW
Install available updates.
Repeat after each update until update 4.x is fetched.
Here you go with Android 7.
### I succeeded with Sprint model, tell us here if you experience problems with other models.
### Flash a RUU in *.zip format
### Copy RUU zipfile to microSD card and insert in phone. Shutdown phone.
### Start in fastboot mode: hold Power + Volume- until it vibrates and release both buttons.
### Use Volume- to Reboot to Bootloader. Confirm with Power.
### Use Volume- to BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE. Confirm with Power.
### Once in recovery, use Volume- to: Apply update from SD card
### Use Volume to select RUU zipfile
### Wait during flash
4) UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Save IMEI, go to Settings > About > Phone identity > IMEI (15 digits).
In Settings > About > Software information > More.
Tap 7 times on Build number. It unlocks Developer options.
Go back to Settings menu, you can see the new Developer options menu.
Tap on it, accept the warning.
Check ON OEM unlocking and USB debugging options.
Go to Settings > Security > Screen lock > None
Go to Settings > Storage > Phone storage, scroll down and make sure Phone storage encryption is unchecked.
Now, open a Windows command on my "flash" folder (hold Shift + right click on folder -> Open a windows command here).
Or type cmd in Windows address bar and hit enter to launch a Command prompt in actual folder.
Enter command :
Code:
adb devices
, confirm by pressing Enter.
Command returns :
Code:
List of devices attached
HT53****** device
### If no device is found, uninstall and reinstall properly the drivers while antivirus is off. Or see fix at the end of this tuto.
### Or start fresh on another PC.
Now type :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Phone restarts in Fastboot mode. Wait till phone screen is blank in fastboot mode.
Use volume keys to switch to Download mode !!!
### With HTC One M9, fastboot commands have to be sent from Download mode (took me hours to figure it out, thanks @DigiGoon).
Type :
Code:
fastboot devices
Command returns :
Code:
HT53**** fastboot
### You may have to fix drivers again (see fix at the end of tuto)
Type :
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
, confirm by pressing Enter.
Command returns multiple lines.
Select with your mouse all the lines from
Code:
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>
(included)
to the line
Code:
<<<<< Identifier token end >>>>>
(included).
Now on keyboard copy (Ctrl + C combo), then open Notepad.
In Notepad, paste those lines (Ctrl + V combo).
Now manually remove all the (bootloader) strings from each line.
Your notepad should now look like this :
<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

Hi,
I didn't find a RUU for this model during a quick search.
Do you know more about an official firmware ?

I believe himaul can refer to a couple of U.S. variants, the AT&T and the T-Mobile. The AT&T variant appends 'att' to the end, and the T-Mobile may append 'tmus' (but I don't have a T-Mobile variant in front of me to verify this).

Hello, I just bought a One M9 model htc_himawhl, and I would like to install android 12 on it.
The device is S-OFF and the bootloader indicate "Software status: Official" and "LOCKED".
I have a few questions about your tutorial.
What advantages we get when we unlock the bootloader ? I installed TWRP 3.7 yesterday, I suppose I can install any custom rom no ?
You didn't gives htc_himawhl compatible Android 12 rom, which one can work with in the list you given ?
I had an HTC U Ultra before this phone (which is now dead...), the process was much more easier because it was an international model. :/
Thanks in advance for your answer !

Hi, normaly you need to unlock bootloader to boot a custom ROM.
To find a suitable ROM you should read the Sprint model section of XDA

@SofianeLasri , if you need VoLTE in your country/with your carrier, unfortunately, none of the recent custom ROMs for this phone have VoLTE/IMS registration working. It is being worked on, but there are no guarantees. You should read and follow the following thread for details/updates on this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ce-cold-project-17-1-official.4399865/page-12

What a shame, I buy a phone that I think is known on the custom rom scene, and I come across an abandoned operator model...

[GUIDE] Flash CrDroid 9.5, A13 build.20.05, Magisk Delta, Pass SafetyNet, Hide Root

W.I.P. - UPDATED on 21.05.2023Assumptions of reader,PRIOR to following this guide:
You understand that you follow anything seen here of your own volition.
Your Bootloader is unlocked.
Able to troubleshoot your device, setups, installs, unlocking, rooting, etc.
Capable of searching on XDA/Github/Telegram/Google for missing information and files.
This guide outlines the process I used to clean install the following:TWRP-3.7.0_12-v7.8_A13_FBEv2-lmi-skkk.img
CrDroid v9.5/ A13/build-02.06.2023
NikGapps-T FULL package, 09.06.2023
ROOT/Magisk DELTA - fdac22ba-delta(25210)

LSPosed v1.8.6 (6712) ZYGISK and Hide My Apps List
Test root detection, Pass SafetyNet Basic Attestation
PIXEL LAUNCHER ISSUE;
On CrDroid ROMs :
Due to CrDroid Home/Stock Launcher having its own QuickStep built-in, it cannot be installed alongside Pixel Launcher, nor vice versa.
This concerns the Pixel Launcher included in some NikGApps package AND the Pixel Launcher addon.
Therefore, you/we can ONLY use CrDroid Home/Stock Launcher OR Pixel Launcher,
The Pixel Launcher section of your nikgapps.config should look like this to avoid any issues with CrDroid Home Launcher ;
PixelLauncher=1
# Pixel Launcher set to 0 to skip its installation over CrDroid Home Launcher
PixelLauncher=0
DevicePersonalizationServices=1
QuickAccessWallet=1
GoogleWallpaper=1
SettingsServices=1
PrivateComputeServices=1
#Pixel Themes set to 0 to avoid issues with CrDroid Home Launcher
PixelThemes=0
#For Live Captions to work, the follwing must be enabled, i.e. set to 1.
DevicePersonalizationServices=1
SettingsServices=1
PrivateComputeServices=1
More details on using the NikGApps config file can be found here.
A Clean Flashing/Install Environment:
We first need to establish a clean environment.
Opinions may vary, but I will be clean flashing a stock MIUI ROM via fastboot.
For this, I will be using two software programs and one file;
Mi Flash Tool v20220507, or later, from here https://xiaomitools.com/mi-flash-tool-ru/
7-zip file archiver, from here, 7-zip
You will also need the stock MIUI Rom from here; https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lmi/stable
- make sure the details are as below ;
Device: POCO F2 Pro Global
Codename: lmi
Version: V14.0.1.0.SJKMIXM
Branch: Stable
Type: Fastboot
Size: 5.1 GB
Release Date: 2023-03-17
Package Name: lmi_global_images_V14.0.1.0.SJKMIXM_20230317.0000.00_12.0_global_15e376c371.tgz
This is a ".tgz" file and will need to be extracted to obtain the ".tar" file.
Which will then have to be extracted to obtain the images' folder.
The images' folder should be placed on the Desktop, as that is the default working folder now for the Mi Flash Tool.
Note: It is entirely up to you to use the RECOVERY version instead of the FASTBOOT version, but please remember if you did, in the event that you encounter issues, it may help you to troubleshoot accordingly.
Now we can proceed.
The Flashing Process:
An excellent guide on using the tool made by @NOSS8 can be found here; https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miflash-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/01. Extract the Mi Flash Tool archive.
02. Open the Mi Flash Tool folder and create a folder called 'log'.
03. This is to avoid an error when we have to authenticate our Mi account.
04. Open the Mi Flash Tool app and select 'Authentication'.
05. Log in with the same credentials you used for your Xiaomi/Mi account and/or to unlock your Bootloader.
06. Select English.
07. Enter your details and wait for the "Login successful[CN]" message, like below, then MINIMISE that window.
Spoiler: Login successful [CN]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
08. Select "Driver" to install drivers to communicate with your device.
09. Select "Configuration", in the "Configuration" window, nothing should be selected/written/filled/checked.
10. In the 'Check Point' section, if you see, "\$fastboot -s .* lock" be sure to delete it and don't leave any blank spaces.
Spoiler: Check Point
11. Click "OK".
12. Select "select" and select your images' folder.
Spoiler: images' folder
13. On your device, Developer Settings/Options must be enabled.
14. Place your device into fastboot mode.
15. Now connect your device to your computer with your data cable.
16. Verify the device is connected by using "fastboot devices" in a terminal window.
Upon confirmation, we can proceed.
17. Verify that at the bottom of the Mi Flash Tool Window that you have selected the "clean all" radio button and that to its right you can see "flash_all.bat" in the drop-down box.
Spoiler: clean all radio button
18. Now you can click, "flash" and the process will begin.
Spoiler: flash result; success
19. Eventually you will see 'success' highlighted in green under "result", shortly after which your device should reboot to system for the first time, in this order; POCO boot logo > MIUI boot animation > Activation screen..
20. It should ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network, so you can activate the device.
21. Tap "Open Wi-Fi Settings", select the network of your choosing, enter the password, under Advanced Options when entering the password, I usually select Device/Stable MAC because I have had issues with Randomised MAC in the past.
22. Confirm your connection then back out to the main screen to "Activate this device", enter your login details.
23. The MIUI setup process will begin, agree/yes to everything EXCEPT restoring your Google account.
Skip/Ignore the account restoration process as it is a waste of time, we're here for Custom ROMs mate.
DO NOT PUT A PIN/SCHEMA/PASSWORD.
24. Eventually you'll get to the Home Screen, where you'll see the Settings icon in the middle, open it.
25. Now go, Settings > About Phone > All specs > Tap MIUI version until it says Developer Settings unlock, normally 7 taps I think.
26. Now go, Settings > Additional Settings > (scroll to bottom) Developer options > enable USB Debugging, I'm aware etc., 10 sec countdown, tap OK.
Done, now we can get to flashing a Custom Recovery and then our Custom ROM.
27. Reboot your device to fastboot, "adb reboot bootloader" or any other method.
28. Locate your recovery image (TWRP-3.7.0_12-v7.8_A13_FBEv2-lmi-skkk.img) and, using a terminal window, 'cd' to the directory. Then use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash your recovery. After which, use "fastboot reboot recovery" to boot your recovery.
29. Assuming TWRP, under the "Wipe" category, perform a Factory Reset" then Wipe Data, after which, REBOOT TO RECOVERY.
30. Copy the ROM and NikGApps to the device, flash the ROM, reboot to recovery, flash NikGApps, reboot to recovery, factory rest and format data, reboot to system.
(Some will say this is excessive but from my perspective, it has eliminated many issues I was having when flashing ROMS)
31. Complete your device first boot setup.
So at this point, I will assume you have done as I have and waited to have restored your Google backup, WhatsApp etc.
EDIT; DUE TO A NEWLY RELEASED TWRP, THE MAGISK DELTA APK CAN BE RENAMED TO .ZIP AND FLASHED FROM RECOVERY WITH THE TWRP LINKED AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD
Spoiler: Deprecated steps
32. Reboot to recovery. Here you will notice that you cannot mount the Data partition. As of the 9th January, 2023 there is no recovery for our device that can decrypt A13 ROMs, so when rooting the device we will be using "adb sideload" to send and flash Magisk.
33. In your recovery (assuming TWRP), go to Advanced > ADB Sideload, don't wipe Dalvik/Cache > Swipe to start ADB Sideload.
34. In a Command Prompt or Terminal window, opened as Administrator, use ADB sideload by entering the command similarly as seen here;
35. Reboot to System > install the Magisk Delta 25.2 delta 6 apk > open the app > ensure that the installed version is "a0b2003b-delta (25206)"
36. Install Magisk Delta by flashing the apk you have renamed to .zip as mentioned above.
36a. Go to Magisk Delta App > Settings and change the following :
Enable DNS over HTTPS
HIDE the Magisk App

Just rename the .apk to .zip and you can flash it.

I don't even own this phone but this guide it's very good.
typo edit:
30. Copy the ROM and GApps to the device, flash the ROM, reboot to recovery, flash GApps, reboot to recovery, factory rest and format data, reboot to system.
(Some will say this is excessive but from my perspective, it has eliminated many issues I was having when flashing ROMS)

Click to collapse
"factory rest and format data" - "factory *reset and format data"

"Enable MagiskHide
REBOOT
37. Now go to > Configure MagiskHide > search for these apps and use these settings; "
Is this prefered ? I use SuList mode . Am I wrong and shold use "configure MagiskHide" instead ?
"Pass Basic SafetyNet Attestation - Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0 by kdrag0n"
It works correct on Poco F3 but not on Poco F2 Pro (Crdroid). I suggest to use working :
Releases · Displax/safetynet-fix
Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - Displax/safetynet-fix
github.com

KernelSU and/or SUList will not be implemented in the guide until I start using it.
This SafetyNet fix is no longer needed on CrDroid 9.5 20.05 build, but thank you for this, though, I hope it helps someone if they encounter issues.

OP Updated.

Good looking out, I think I got all the typos, if not most this time around when I updated the guide a little.

You're welcome!
The process outlined can work for many ROMs, but I focus on CrDroid because I use it as my daily driver.
I'll try my best to update it as often as I can (once/twice every two weeks) but for the moment I have exams.

Gonna made a rom installation round.
I'll tell you if the guide works on other roms

With lastest TWRP FBEv2, all roms installed with no issues.
I´m having problems (i hope i will solve it) with the fastboot full rom installation. I think new version on twrp has an option to prevent from installing new recovery checked by default, so brand new miui installation always fails.
On your next update of the guide, maybe you need to point about this

Thanks for reminding me about FBEv2, needed to add that in for some time.
I just updated the guide after following the steps, changing/adding only the recent builds of TWRP FBEv2, CrDroid 9.5, NikGapps.
I had no issue at the fastboot clean flash section, using the TWRP linked in the guide.
I require more specificity on the issues related to the fastboot clean flash, so I can reproduce them on my side and write a detailed solution/circumvention into the guide.
Thanks for looking out @Lughsen

lots of unneeded step, i succesfully do it 5x faster than this.
coming from miui13:
ubl, flash latest twrp, reboot reovery
format data, reboot recovery
flash latest fw>rom>nik core>magisk official>reboot system
after boot, open magisk>direct install>reboot
open magisk, install unisafetynetfix>magiskhidepropconf, enable zygisk, reboot
open magisk, deny playstore stuff
all works fine, safetynet passed.
i wonder why you need to torture yourself by going full miui flash and lsposed.
