How to update to latest version using auto-updater and TWRP - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I'm using version 15.1-20180430-NIGHTLY-shamu version with latest TWRP on Nexus 6. There is an update on LineageOS updater, versioned 15.1. I clicked download, install and reboot. It rebooted to TWRP but did nothing. I browsed /data/data/org.lineageos.updater/ in TWRP but there is neither an app_updates folder there nor any zip file in existing folders. What should I do? I've searched the forum but couldn't find any solutions.

The newest updater allows you to save the downloaded file by long pressing on it. So you can flash in twrp from a good to remember folder.

When I long press the available update only option I get is Copy URL. Should I use that to download the update instead of auto-downloader?

Auto-updater does some preparation after downloading and before rebooting. Do I need to anything similar or just install the zip within TWRP? Also if I use TWRP to install myself will it reset my data/settings/etc?

Then most probably your download got corrupted. Download it again. And try to open the zip to see if its okay.

Try connecting to a computer and open the zip file and say what did you find. My download got corrupted 4 times when downloading through chrome. Try downloading via a download manager. But if it does not work even then, try using TWRP 2.7.1.0. You should find it high in the development section.

1.Try to open it in a PC with Winrar or Winzip to check that the archive is not corrupted....
2. Or u can try the other 4.4.x ROMs in development section...
3. Download the ROM with a download manager software like "Free Download Manager" with PC and open it, when u sure the archive is OK, send it to your SDcard and install

[Q] LS990 Certificate verify/secure boot error(s)

Hi there! I rooted my LS990 on lollipop 5.0.1 a recently and I tried to use TWRP to get a ROM on it and when I tried to install TWRP it came back with the error right after the LG logo on reboot when I tried to boot to recovery. I looked through a few threads but they all led to other LG models and not the LS990 from what I saw. I'm not able to boot to recovery, update my phone or factory reset. My endgame would be able to factory reset my phone and not worry about rooting it because it's just caused problems for me.
If there's any help I can get it would be much appreciated!
What method did you use to install TWRP? Try either TWRP Manager or Flashify from the Play Store, or push the recovery *img via adb shell or a terminal emulator app. You can find the latest *img file for the LS990 here...
https://twrp.me/devices/lgg3sprint.html
Follow the "dd Install Method (Requires Root):" directions at the bottom of the page. And make sure to never take an OTA update or perform a factory reset w/ a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP installed.

I had downloaded TWRP from the Play Store and used the instructions in the app to patch my SD card and then downloaded the latest img from TWRP and when I tried to install the img it came back unsuccessful and since then I have had my error(s).
Try using the Flashify app instead. Make sure the external SD has indeed been patched by running the "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD" app (available from the Play Store) beforehand. The app also works w/ Lollipop, and can be uninstalled after the verification or installation of the fix.

It told me the flash was successful but when I rebooted my phone when it prompted me to it rebooted back to the certificate verify and secure boot error.
I forgot about the locked bootloader for that model. You'll need to first download the LS990 BUMP *.img file to your phone from here...
http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g3/bump/
... then open Flashify, select Recovery Image -> Choose a file -> Downloads, and select the TWRP recovery image you downloaded.

Is there any app like titanium backup that don't require root?

It is a little annoying that I can't use OTA because of my custom recovery (TWRP).
As of now I need root for 1 thing: backing up my apps.
Is there any way to backup apps the same as in Titanium backup (with the data of the apps) but without root?
This way I could use the OTA to update the phone
Thanks,
orma
Try out Helium Backup. It's free on the app store. You need to install this app on a PC however to enable backing up.
I tried it, but some apps cannot be backed up and the one I need the most is also in the list.
Is there any other way?
Here's what to do, root your phone and then get flashfire. You'll be able to flash the ota with it maintaining root and a custom recovery if you use it. You can also create backups with flashfire. You get the best of both worlds. Don't forget you can also download the ota's from Google if you can't wait for them to be pushed to your phone. It's also easier this way.
Can't I just use TWRP to flash the ota image?
I already have it installed
You'll loose root and twrp for sure and I don't think it will flash because you have twrp installed.

That doesn't make any sense. I've done this 20 or more times with various nexus devices. It's possible the file was corrupted while downloading. Can you find the file on your device. It'd try downloading it again.
You're using the flash zip or ota and not firmware package?

sorry for all of those question but the description of this make it sound like it would install the stock recovery instead of twrp
the description: Attempt restore stock boot and recovery images before flashing. May be required for some OTAs. Disable for non-OTA updates.
When you hit the check mark on that screen you'll be brought to another screen. On that one you'll see reboot. Click on that and you'll have the option to preserve recovery. That's were it'll keep twrp on your device. So restore boot and recovery is the correct setting

Factory reset and erecovery reset does nothing to /system.
So what ever was flashed is still there. My advise would be to try flash your stock rom. Full-ota only.

Not sure what got changed on device during bad install, so suggest doing full-ota forced update.
you had oreo , correct?
what device number / model?
1. download the ota-full files from
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bND&firmware_page=0
2. make folder on external sdcard "HWOTA8"
3. put downloaded files into folder with no-check-oreo-recovery
4. put hwota-7-&-8-update.zip in folder
5. twrp install hwota-7-&-8-update.zip
it will install the update files, you will be back to working stock emui 8, ready for you to start modding it again.
(possibly might need factory reset when done, to clear remaining bad files from bad install)

there is a modified stock recovery that is used to install ota update files. It has been modified to "not check" version numbers. So it will install anything.

I just got this too! Do you know how I can update having twrp installed?
I just tried to install the smaller update above, it failed and now I'm downloading a 1.8gb version. Of you have TWRP installed, I'd probably just download the older OTA and fastboot flash boot boot.img from that OTA.

You should be able to install it like normal but ensure when your device reboots you enter your password to enter twrp. If that doesn't work just reboot into twrp and install it by selecting it from the downloaded ROM directory (I forget what the folder is called but it's not the normal download folder). You will have to reflash twrp afterwards.

If that doesn't work just reboot into twrp and install it by selecting it from the downloaded ROM directory (I forget what the folder is called but it's not the normal download folder). You will have to reflash twrp afterwards.

This *should* would too.
Filename for the big file is: miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip we should be able to assemble the whole bigota.somethingsomethingsomething.darkside.xiaomi.downloads url using that, but I'm not at a computer and going to be late for work as is.

What version of Magisk did you install? I tried 17.3 and have a bootlooping phone.
The URL for the big OTA (1.8gb) is: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM/miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip

I just tried downloading a fresh copy of the Magisk zip. Same result. The phone starts booting then reboots into recovery. I don't know why this doesn't work. Did you have a "global" version of the phone? If so, can you backup your boot image with TWRP (the Magisk rooted one) and post it so we can try downloading and installing to see if it works on a Chinese phone?
Is it normal for the update size to not be displayed? This is my first update using a Xiaomi device & found it odd to not know how large a update was.

Mine showed the size for the small incremental which failed and for the full OTA which installed sucessfully. I have not been able to root this with Magisk, no matter what I tried. Every attempt at rooting with SuperSU or Magisk caused the device to bootloop and go back to recovery.

It showed it in the text right below the MIUI logo on the updates page. Check the screenshot in the OP

Oh ****.. I'm guessing its the 599M? For some reason I thought that was part of the build. :laugh: Lmao.

Yeah, that's the update download size. Don't be surprised when the 599 one fails to install (if you have stock recovery). It will download a 1.8GB one (the one I linked to in the OP now) and that one will install as expected. I think you can install either with TWRP if you want. GLHF
anyone figured how to root this? I flashed twrp then flash magisk 17.3 but it kept bootlooping to twrp.
No, I've tried everything. I have a suspicion we can root this on the Chinese device after we have fastboot images.

Great Update! Many things changed that are not mentioned in the changelog! Finaly notifications in the AOD! ?*?*
