I cannot find the lineageOS updates file on my phone

My phone is nexus 6P and I flashed lineageOS weeks ago with the nightly rom. But every time I check the update and download the new version rom, I couldn't locate the rom that the system downloaded. And I have to download from the website and install again. Where is the updates files?
P.S I cannot find the path"/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates"

Even I cannot find it in my nexus 6

Even I cannot find the ROM update in my nexus 6.
Can somebody tell the download path for nexus 6?

Thanks Ibuprophen.
I had this link already. My problem is after downloading this update, i am unable to locate it in the device. Hence cannot use TWRP for installing.
I need to know the path of the downloaded file "inside the device"

Download the file to a USB stick. TWRP can mount the device and you can install the update from there. An imperfect, temporary, band-aid kind of kludge hack job, but it ought to work until you resolve the other issue(s). Good Luck.

There will be a folder on your phone called LineageOS updates. Look inside that one, then you can copy the downloaded updated file to your root directory or the download directory.

@LEI916, @djpeterdj, @nezlek & @JoshyanchaAbhay...
As you know, the following directory is where the downloads via the LineageOS Downloads would be located if you had downloaded it manually...
/storage/emulated/0/Download
... if you had obtained the LineageOS via its built in OTA Downloader, then it may be located within one of the following Directories...
/LineageOS updates/
/data/linageos_update/
/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates/
*** The following directory is the new one that the Lineage Team had last changed it to and is more likely to be located within.
/data/linageos_updates/
Good Luck!

Hi @LEI916, @djpeterdj, @nezlek & @JoshyanchaAbhay...
Normally nobody has to touch the downloaded updates. Built in updater creates a open recovery script and boots into twrp to execute that without further user interaction. If that doesn't work for you, you should try to repair it by manually updating ROM and twrp.

Normally, yes .....

Absolutely correct. But every once in a great while, what ought to happen just doesn't, and for reasons unknown. Admittedly, I offered up what amounts to a complete hatchet job of an alternative, but on my otherwise faithful LG tablet, it was all that worked for a few consecutive updates when the updater decided not to, as the saying goes, get along well with others. Never did anything else besides wait patiently, and the problem went away (I was both patient and willing to conduct an experiment). Did not at any point wipe or re-flash anything. Go figure. At least it is rarely boring :laugh:

Lineage & Magisk ?

Does Lineage come with any sort of root by default ?
Even that sort of simple one enabled in dev settings ?
I see here: https://download.lineageos.org/extras mentions SU but doesn't specify anything about it whether it's SuperSU or Magisk..
I would prefer Magisk.
Can it be done on a US Nexus 6P ? https://download.lineageos.org/angler

By default, LineageOS isn't Rooted...
The SU addon from the LineageOS website will Root the device but, the Root management is located within the Developer Options of the device.
SuperSU and Magisk both Roots the device as well using their own prospective SU Binaries and is managed using their own app.
The 3 different Root variants you asked about are completely separate in the way they manage Root.
I hope that I had explained this okay via text...

yeah I understand ty

LineageOS rooted?

Perhaps this questions appears a couple of time, but I do not find an answer:
Some Apps are the opinion I am using a jailbreaked or rooted mobile. My mobile device is for shure not rooted or something.
What I did:
I have the good old oneplus one. Until last Friday it was working with the last stock CM 13.1. And with this it was working since years.
But I want to have an update to the latest release, to go technically on latest OS. So I installed LineageOS nightly 15.1.
First of all: great work. It is running fluidly with no problems.
Only some issues with rooting?!
My OpO is not rooted. Some apps I need for my daily work can not be installed like the ServiceNow. Some other apps say: no support, because of a rooted mobile like Mercedes me.
I tried to root it for afterwards to unroot. But our companies policy app immediately factory resets my phone after installing SuperSU. From this issue I know, it is not rooted. I checked with RootChrcker as well: unrooted.
Why some specific apps mean: rooted?

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread that's specific to your device for member guidance and support.
(Though, the title states 14.1, the threads title just wasn't changed yet to reflect the 15.1.)

If all else fails, and you don't receive any responses from the above thread, you can always try to obtain some member guidance within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731638
Just an FYI... In general, all of the Official LineageOS builds are not rooted by default. This is why the Lineage Team provides flashable Root Addons located at the bottom of the device listing on their downloads page that's labeled "Extras".
SuperSU and others alike are just optional choices and should not be flashed together.
Good Luck!

@Lowrider39, did you flahsed addonsu zip?
In you have, please go to the Setting >> Developer Options >> Root Access.
Select 'Apps and ADB' if you haven't done so.
Maybe this helps. (this whined me, too for a while).

Change OpenGapps for MindTheGapps afterthought

Hi everyone,
I just saw that it was better to use MindTheGapps rather than Open Gapps for LineageOS, since the A/B function was added.
I just completely reinstalled LineageOS 15.1 on my smartphone this weekend and I obviously put the Open Gapps, as I didn't know about the advantages of MindTheGapps.
Is it possible, in your opinion, to flash the MindTheGapps at this stage? Will it work? Are there any risks and if so, which ones?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Unfortunately the OpenGApps installation cannot be removed/changed.
The only option is to perform a clean installation of the whole thing.
This is because GApps Packages are also installed in various locations on your system itself.
Believe me when I state this because I was in a similar situation not too long ago and had to begin from the start using the GApps package of choice.
Good Luck!

Root oneplus 3 doesn't work

Hi
I currently trying to root my oneplus3 with LineageOs 16 (last version).
I tried with su from extra section addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip and with SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip.
Every time, flash is OK but when I try with root checker, root doesn-t work.
On setting, I set root for ADB and apps.
Any ideas how to root a oneplus3 with lineage 16 ?
Thank for the help :good:

At this point in time, SuperSU isn't working well on LineageOS 16.0 in general.
The AddonSU has been having issues with many members as well and I do know that there's been some discussion/work being done with it by the Lineage Team as well.
Apparently the Magisk has been working well for many individuals and I plan to try it out myself soon.
Sorry I can't be much more helpful than this but, I just wanted to bring the above information to your attention too.
Good Luck!

TBH, your best bet is to ask for some member guidance within one of the following Magisk Specific threads since I only have a working knowledge of Magisk and am still trying to familiarize myself with using it...

... Keep in mind that errors provided/reflected on the TWRP Terminal screen (you provided) is extremely limited.
In general, the TWRP Logs actually has more detailed information for better support. So any time you receive an error on the TWRP Terminal, go right to where the area is to save the Logs for you to submit for support.
The following image is a quick little Helper Guide to where to go in TWRP for saving the TWRP Logs.
I wish you the best of luck!

Addeonsu has to work. The decision arm/arm64 depends on ROM not hardware. In older 64 bit hardware lineageOS has 32 bit.
With all that root flashing your boot partition is maybe messed up. Try clean flash. That's a good basis for a bug report.
PS.: read your own screenshot!

Hello, Hydro8. i have the same problem with Lineage 16 and have been checking different forums and Google but haven't seen anything yet which might help us. i guess we'll just have to keep checking - perhaps this might be the best thread/forum "The AddonSU has been having issues with many members as well and I do know that there's been some discussion/work being done with it by the Lineage Team as well. " although i haven't found the Lineage web forums yet. i suspect there are none - only reddit and the chat space.
Have a great morning!

Do you really have the same "boot image patched by unsupported programs"?

Dear kurtn. i was happy to receive a reply so quickly! However i'm at a loss as to how to answer your question "Do you really have the same "boot image patched by unsupported programs"? " Perhaps you could expand a little.
In the meantime, have a radiant morning!
