Here you are ..

TWRP loop for me. Installs with no errors but won't boot into the os
I did a dirty (coming from AOSP 7.1.2) and then clean install. Haven't factory refreshed yet.
Tried wiping again and flashing back to aosp and having the same issue.
Any thoughts?
edit: now trying to pull some data off my tablet to do a full wipe, i dont NEED to do this, but would like to...but twrp wont recognize MTP on my system (win 10) ... problems problems today

Did you format system ?
Pls do as first step.
If you boot loop install boot.img via fastboot.
No problems here.. it's quite fast !
Also dirty installation .. kept all my settings.
EDIT:
Mtp should work .. correct driver in Windows ?
We are using abd and mtp at the same time.
A Windows driver is on the share as well ..

Made a LineageOMS version as well ..
lineageOMS-14.1-20170418-UNOFFICIAL-dragon-followmsi.zip

Hey follow
Yep did all of that. Formatted system, flashed boot.img, and no issues with mtp prior to the boot loops.
I went ahead and did a complete userdata reset and am sampling the O DP1 now ..I'm sure it'll work fine when (if) I come back to 7.x

Officialness
Thanks for building this. Hoping to try it out this weekend.
I'm hoping you intend to submit this build officially to LineageOS, so we continue to get updated builds. As you probably remember Cyanogen didn't accept the Pixel C. Hopefully with LineageOS things are better.

You are not the first asking me this question ..
Here some more information ..
https://wiki.lineageos.org/submitting_device.html
Who is the maintainer ? .. me
- Changing vendor stuff .. monthly
- Applying kernel patches .. monthly
- Applying possible device tree patches and changes .. monthly
- Etc.
Here is the manifest for LOS ..
https://github.com/followmsi/manifests/tree/dragon-lineageos-cm-14.1
Also for the people who like to build their own verison
- As you may see we are removing 2 LOS repos today, due to build errors.
- This needs to be fixed on code level first - commited on LOS github.
- The stock google vendor.img needs to be integrated into the LOS Installer
Still not clear how this is done for "official" lineageos .. also from legal point of view.
Actually I need to get information here ... How is this done for other ROMs having a dedicated vendor.img ?
- The missing integrated kernel building was impemented a few minutes before
https://github.com/followmsi/androi...mmit/316a7e0e87b191bcf11b8de55778ddec83fac2f8
https://github.com/followmsi/android_kernel_tegra/commit/3e3e24c41db74693efc2fc74efaf6286b1c06013
You see there a few issues left ..
The ROM works perfectly but its not ready to be official yet.
Don't want to force and push a go live now .. No need to rush !
Hope you have a better understanding now ..
Cheers

No !
The OMS version is the same like lineageOS but including OMS - to be ready to install substratum .. etc.
Made a version for Nexus 10 as well .. it seems to work fine.
Just have installed the ROM .. works fine - but did no special customizations or anything else.
Hope this helps ..

Unfortunately this is also bootlooping for me. I've tried the steps above.
How can I help debug this? I was not able to use logcat. Does logcat work for you?

You did flash boot.img via fastboot ?
The ROM installation had no errors ?
What version of bootloader are you using .. .50 for 7.1.2 ?
Do you see the LOS logo (boot animation) when you boot-loop ?
Are you able to make a md5 hash ..Or similar to compare ?
File corrupt ?
Pls post a hash value to compare .. maybe onedrive is the problem.
Was not the first time a file was corrupted.
I am testing several ROMs and kernels in the last days .. no problems at all.
EDIT:
Which version of TWRP ?
EDIT2:
For your understanding.. logcat will start a short time after Android is booting.(boot animation)
But if you not pass the boot.img we have another issue. (Google logo)

It doesn't get that far.
I see the unlocked bootloader warning. After thirty seconds it beeps, as expected. Then white "Google" text is then displayed for two or three seconds.
But after that it reboots into TWRP (blank screen, then unlocked bootloader warning, then beep, then white "Google" text, then TWRP).

The update zip I'm installing from TWRP is lineage-14.1-20170417-UNOFFICIAL-dragon-followmsi.zip, which I downloaded from OneDrive. It has SHA256 hash
Code:

The boot.img I'm flashing with fastboot comes from the above zip. So it might be redundant for me to say the boot.img has SHA256 hash

Thanks for the explanation. So it might be boot.img given the boot sequence I described above?

I always get the TWRP bootloop if I boot before installing SuperSU. That happened with DU and with this.
I also had some issues with the setup wizard crashing. It was skipping the step of connecting wifi, and then it would crash when I tried to enter a Google account (which wouldn't have worked anyway without wifi.) I tried different gapps, same result. Finally I managed to swipe open settings and connect to wifi and now I'm set.
Now that I've got it running (OMS variant) it's great.

Good bootloader
Good TWRP version ..
Do you install supersu at last step of your installation procedure ?
After you did install the ROM in TWRP, pls install supersu.zip (2.79 -sr3) as last step.
It will boot twice for the first time .. but then it should boot normally.

The SetupWizard is related to gapps .. the beans version seems to run perfectly.
Opengapps seems still to have issues on certain devices.
Will check supersu topic ..
Thanks for the feedback !

Cool !
Found the issues as well ..
It's related to DM-verity .. even some config is missing.
Or the overwrite of build_fingerprint is related.
Need to investigate ..
Both supersu and magisk are removing the DM-verity checks in ramdisk.(boot.img)
As I always install supersu, I never realized.
Just compiling a new version .. changed the sources.
https://github.com/followmsi/androi...mmit/aae5804e75f4133ec82253cf6b2afbe39e46a56a
Removing DM-verity from fstab .. should solve this issue, also without supersu.
At later stage we can enable again, if it's working fine.
Thanks for your help testing ..
Cheers

New release ..
lineage-14.1-20170421-UNOFFICIAL-dragon-followmsi.zip
Changes:
- Integrated kernel compiling - using DU branch
- disabled DM-verity -> should fix proper booting even without supersu/magisk.
- General LineageOS changes -> fresh repo sync from today .. https://download.lineageos.org/
Installation:
1. Boot into TWRP
3. Install lineage-14.1-20170421-UNOFFICIAL-dragon-followmsi.zip
4. install SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip (optional)
6. Reboot into system ..
- The ROM installer will keep your existing gapps installation.
- If you had SuperSu installed before you need to install it again - as we overwrite the boot.img completely.
A new OMS version will come later ..
Enjoy ..

[ZE620KL/Android 9][TREBLE] COMPLETE GUIDE: Unlocking, Rooting & Flash GSI + Fixes

[ZE620KL/Android 9][TREBLE] COMPLETE GUIDE: Unlocking, Rooting & Flash GSI + Fixes
Unlocking bootloader to Flashing GSI (Asus Zenfone 5 [ZE620KL] / Android 9.0)
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
About :
The last guide could leads to soft brick, as the instructions were not clear nor the files not supported for Android 9.0.
Here is a complete guide with TWRP 3.3.0 for Android 9.0, clear instructions and multiple fixes for GSI.
It has been tested on stock version v16.0615.1903.92.​
Requirements :
- A stock version V16.0610.XXXX.XX or higher
- A phone on Android 9.0 (not 8.0!)
- A fully working USB cable
- Latest ADB / Fastboot drivers
- Bootloader unlocker (download latest from Asus website or from here)
- TWRP 3.3.0 image
- Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip
- Magisk v19.3​
Instructions :
Unlocking Bootloader
1. Backup all your important data.
2. Install the bootloader unlocker APK, and follow the steps. You will loss your warranty here, and it will factory reset your data
3. If there is any issue here, go into your stock recovery (volume down + power button) and factory reset.​
Installing TWRP
4. Shutdown your device & boot in fastboot mode using volume up + power button.
5. Check that the connection between your device and your computer by typing this in your command line :
Code:
fastboot devices
6. Flash TWRP recovery using :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <twrp_name>.img
7. Now reboot in recovery mode using :
Code:
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
8. In TWRP, select Wipe > Format Data > enter "yes" and confirm
9. Return to the main menu, select Reboot > Recovery
10. Do 8. & 9. and again
11. Using TWRP or ADB, install Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip (on TWRP, go into Install > find Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip > Install zip)
If everything has gone successfully, you now have a custom recovery.
As for some GSIs, a patched boot partition may cause bootloop, you should try installing Magisk after installing the GSI. If you want to keep your stock ROM, go directly to "Magisk Installation" section.​Installing a GSI
This step may vary depending on the different GSIs distribution. I assume you install Havoc OS v2.7 GSI which actually works on this device.
1. Backup all your important data using TWRP backup.
2. Select the arm64-aonly GSI image you want, and move it on your external SD.
3. Wipe Data, Dalvik, and Cache.
4. Go back in the main menu of TWRP, and reboot to recovery.
5. Remove Magisk if it was previously installed, by using its uninstaller script.
6. Flash the GSI to system partition.
7. Boot and perform a factory reset.​
Installing Magisk
1. Add the Magisk zip archive to your external storage.
2. Boot into TWRP recovery, and install the zip.
3. Enjoy!​
Bug fixes:
Insufficient storage in the system partition to flash GApps : Download your OpenGApps archive on your external SD, and use MagicGApps 2018.9.23 to install GApps.
Auto-Brightness doesn't work: Download framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk from here.
Using a root explorer or command-line, push the APK to /vendor/overlay.
Then run the following command in a rooted terminal or ADB shell:
Code:
chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay;chcon u:object_r:vendor_overlay_file:s0 /vendor/overlay/framework-res__auto_generated_rro.apk
My camera doesn't work well (green tint on face camera) and/or the app doesn't boot: If Asus Camera doesn't launch on your GSI, you should probably edit your /system/build.prob file.
You need to edit ro.product.model, ro.product.brand, ro.product.name, ro.product.device, ro.product.manufacturer & ro.build.product properties to be:
Code:
ro.product.model=ASUS_X00QD
ro.product.brand=asus
ro.product.name=WW_Phone
ro.product.device=ASUS_X00QD
ro.product.manufacturer=asus
ro.build.product=ZE620KL
You can instead use Google Camera mod (port from Arnova8G2 & modded by 5Z community, thanks to them!), which works well (edit: there is a bug on HavocOS, we can't access settings).​Bonus:
- You can reinstall DTS Headphone:X here.
- For booting your kernel in Permissive mode, check here
Sources:
TWRP 3.3.0 : On GitHub

https://t.me/Zenfone5Dev
(We will continue to update & help here though.)
Many thanks to all of the Zenfone 5 community (particularly Emincan, Pandolfi and Lmajkej),
Phhusson & Erfan for their works on GSI, and Shakalaca for its work on TWRP 3.3.0!​

On HavocOS v2.8 GSI (13-08-2019):
It works:
- Almost anything
- Adaptive Brightness (after manual fix)
- Notch overlay
- DTS Headphone X (after manual installation)
- NFC
- Face unlock
- Stock camera (after manual fix)
- Magisk
- SDcard access
It doesn't works:
- VoLTE / VoWifi
- Google Camera settings
- External speaker amplifier (NXP amp)
- APT-X / APT-X HD bluetooth
- Low microphone in normal use
- No microphone in calls (only headphone microphone works)

GCam settings
But my google camera keep crashing when I want to go into camera settings

Hi thanks for this tutorial, this is my first time rooting my phone. I'm encountering a problem with my sd card after installing havoc os, everytime i try to move, save or any write functionality i do to my sd card, it always says the android version isn't compatible. I could still see my files from my sd, but everytime it asks permission it always say this

Same issue here. I will update the thread when I will find a more working GCam port (perhaps, this GCam port works well on ZenUI)

It's a known issue, the GSI maintainer @vince31fr is working on it. I don't have it, but I can advice you to use Solid File Manager, which works like a charm on my device.

"- No microphone in calls (only headphone microphone works)"
Funny... I'm on stock latest firmware and I have this issue, so I thought I try something new, and this has that issue. It can't be a coincidence. Something is ****ed up with this device.

Wonder if this will work for the Zenfone 5 Lite (or 5Q)? I wanna root my 5Q so bad haha

Thanks for the great instructions! Steps 1 through 11 worked perfectly for me, then I installed LineageOS (lineage-17.0-20191231-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img) and it works properly. Then when I go back to TWRP and install Magisk v20.1 it reboots into an endless Lineage bootup logo animation (not boot loop). I can get an adb shell, but now also the external SD card has become invisible. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I switched over to the patched Magisk version from PHH (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/ze620kl-add-support-to-evey-android-9-t3966918) and everything works perfectly now!

Hi!! I thanks for these instructions you gave. I know this post is a bit older. But is the only one I think could help me.
I got an ZE620KL and I'm trying to root this device. I have some experience in unlocking bootloader and rooting devices. But this one... Is giving me a lot of work. Researching in a lot of forums and websites I tried a lot of things with no success. In theory, is just install the official apk provided by ASUS and run the application. But the app doesn't work for a long time as I researched (error accusing network problem). I tried unlock via fastboot commands but I always got stucked by "remote: permission denied" even with latest drivers and ADB Fastboot installed. And yes... I let my device with no one security feature enabled and didn't worked. I tried everything even after wiped data / cache and factory reset and no progress.
In my researches, I realized something about 'oem unlock'. It appears to be the key to solve this. And I guess the tool to work with this is the damn unlock tool from ASUS which don't work! Also, I've heard about workaround with Magisk by flashing a custom recovery to achieve the root. Magisk no longer supports zip files to flash. Only '.img' and '.tar' files. I'd like to find some light here... I don't know what to do. I appreciate any help!

Hello do I need to flash Android9EncryptionDisablerZE620KL.zip if Im gonna flash a non-GSI custom ROM? Or its only for GSI Treble ROM?

Hi!! I thanks for these instructions you gave. I know this post is a bit older. But is the only one I think could help me.

Im not sure if you still have your phone or you have successfully unlocked bl. but I found an updated version of their tool which works.

Thanks for the great instructions! Steps 1 through 11 worked perfectly for me, then I installed LineageOS (lineage-17.0-20191231-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img) and it works properly. Then when I go back to TWRP and install Magisk v20.1 it reboots into an endless Lineage bootup logo animation (not boot loop). I can get an adb shell, but now also the external SD card has become invisible. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I switched over to the patched Magisk version from PHH (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/ze620kl-add-support-to-evey-android-9-t3966918) and everything works perfectly now!

Do you still have the patched Magisk zip file, the original link in the post seems not working

Realme X2 1993 development

I open this thread because in my opinion the development situation of the various versions of the device is very confusing. I seem to have understood that as regards the unlocking of the bootloader with a working fingerprint, the situation is evolving well only on the China and India version while on the European version nothing moves ... In my modest opinion, Realme deciding to treat those who buy its phones in Europe as users of its lower series devices compared to other areas of the world are wrong because little development leads to a few posts in the various forums and few voices in google searches that each of us does when deciding what to buy ... What do you think you realme device owners in Europe?

I have the 1993ex version and the FP is working fine after a16

Thanks for the information ... What procedure did you use to unlock the bootloader?

I have EU version and what you said is true about Realme but development aspect, most procedures on China version works on EU version but may partially work on Indian version.
I've tweeted Realme EU over 7 times they haven't replied yet.
MY advice for EU and rest of the world is not to buy from Realme if you want active development and OEM response. Otherwise, you can be patient by using Realme OS until there is bigger development for your device

So you too like me, although there is news of the working fingerprint on the EU, believe that it is still not worth unlocking.
I ask it because I repeat following the various treadhs on the forum it gets confused. It is sometimes indicated that the finger epint works and that for example magisk can work in normal mode and not core only ... This would already be a lot, to say yes it could use the viper4android.

I'm doing something wrong because i get bootloop everytime. i tryed to follow the guide with different gsi but no luck. Can you give a quick step how you did it ?

Until the twrp installation everything works perfectly, when I install magisk whether I try to do it from zip recovery or from boot image patched the verification of the integrity of the verity boot sends me to bootloop. You would need the vbmeta, but when I try to flash the vbmeta.img the command:
fastboot flash --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
On the fastboot cmd he replies that - - disabled verification is unknown ...

I've been there, i think the problem was the adb. I used the Minimal adb and it worked, give it a try

first - check everything with adb prior to installing anything - get most recent version - i'll get v41, check if there is adb connection - by adb devices, if no - troubleshoot as in many threads here on xda until everything works.
at this moment i've got Havoc OS v 3.0 installed, unfortunetely with same limitations as 2.9 - no FP, no lux metering, and weird battery behaviour (sometimes cpu isn't clocked down when screen off - it can be tuned by eg. Kernel adiutor after rooting with magisk flashed from twrp.)
simplified guide:
- unlock bootloader
- flash twrp from fastboot
- select to start recovery on phone's fastboot menu (volume keys+confirm by power)
- enter your password to decrypt data
- flash vbmeta.img from PC by adb command
- at this stage I made a restart to twrp from twrp menu
- there's shouldn't be any prompt about data encryption
- made a cpmplete backup of the phone - backup to SD card, or to internal and at this stage copy entire backup folder to PC
- wipe: dalvik/cache/system/data
- install system img from a file GSI
- reboot to recovery
- install gapps, if error 70 --> goto wipe, advanced, resize system partition, back to install, install gapps
- reboot
if bootloops - format data partition

So gsi roms also have fingerprint problems ... However, more than a custom rom, I was interested in coloros with root ...
I can't give up the fingerprint though because some applications of the company I work for use it for authentication ...

I managed to root, magisk 20.3 zip flash on twrp, on the European version a17 with this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81579961&postcount=44
To make the vbmeta flash command work I used the minimal adb version 1.43, with previous versions it doesn't work.
The fingerprint works very well and energy consumption has not changed compared to use with locked boot.
After carrying out all the procedure, the magisk manager indicates the certified safety net unlike the play store which is instead not certified. To have it certified, you need to download the Device ID app, copy the GSF code that gives you the result by opening it and insert it on the page of this link:
https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/?pli=1
After having it delete the data of google service framework and google play store, force the arrest of the second and reopen it ...

[ROM][A51] HAVOC OS for Samsung Galaxy A51 [GSI]

Hey Guys,
Before you dive in, irrespective of your reading speed read this carefully and slowly for better understanding but if you cannot focus and read it slowly then you better give up music for a few weeks.
About the Device
Before you jump in and get your hands dirty.. you should know that what you will be installing is Generic System Image, It is not specifically made for your device so if you are going to install some other GSI other than this, you might face some issues.
If you are a beginner, you should Go Through Project Treble, just for the sake of knowledge.
Also Galaxy A51 has A/B partition and Supports Project Treble though remember that Treble Devices are not same as A/B devices and Vice Versa.
Things You’ll Need
A Computer (not an iPad)
Internet [requirement around 6 gigs (4.8 gigs optional, for downloading stock Firmware, Highly Recommended)]
Samsung Galaxy A51 (will not work on A50)
Patience and a madcap attitude.
Resources
Download Odin from the link given below and extract it in a folder.
https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.13.3.zip
Adb and Fastboot Drivers

Havoc OS GSI
Havoc-OS - Browse /arm64-ab at SourceForge.net
Don’t forget to check that there is “arm64” and “ab” written on the name of the file
Other option is with Gapps (it means the rom will come with Google Play services built in
otherwise it is Vanilla Android.
GSI Flasher
(It is used for converting your img file into flashable Zip)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J8OlI2CCXpvAJ5FhFlR2b_y58eHQERGs/view?usp=sharing
Extract it you’ll find three folders gsi, META-INF, scripts, keep all of them inside the GSI
Flasher extracted folder.

Reboot and KABLAMO You have installed Havoc OS.
Bugs
A small random issue in Auto Brightness
If you root with magisk and install modules, after you reboot your phone will get into a bootloop. Use Phh_Magisk but I aint sure if it’ll work or not Your call madcap.
NONE OF THE FILES IN THIS TUTORIAL HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME. If SOMETIHING HAPPENS I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. ONLY DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Troubleshooting.
If you find errors in twerp, such as unable to mount vendor or system_root, or data. Then you got to install the stock One Ui Back again, therefore it is highly recommended to keep with yourself the stock firmware. You will need It. And it is 4.78 gigs. You can download it from
Model : SM-A515F - Galaxy A51 — Samfrew.com
To reinstall the stock firmware first extract it and the open odin and repeat steps 8 and 9, once your device is detected in Odin press the respective buttons and select the respective files such as for BL button select the file With BL in the name. Do it for buttons, BL, AP(once you select the file it will take long for it load into odin so do not panic and let it load, it might become unresponsive but use patience and wait.)CP , CSC. Click on start and you’ll have ONE Ui back on your device.
To Lock the bootloader repeat steps 5 and 6.
If you still want more stability and Control You can install a different Kernel NDataX from (@Hendamanu) https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/hendramanu.11224917/

I'd like you to please correct the title and write GSI instead of custom rom as both are different things and the title can be considered misleading.

You need to flash disable dm verity before flashing the gsi.. one ui encrypts the data.

What I say is not a patch, it is one of the phh oberlays for aosp gsi, after I have time I will try to make one, but that overlay would only be for the a51, not for another Samsung
If it is about gsi I am relatively knowledgeable about that, although as far as I know it was not necessary to use this zip to enter gsi, I think the super partition must be modified to install gsi

Question Installation of LineageOS for MicroG does not work

Hi all, after have lost hours and hours traying to install the latest LineageOS for MicroG, I made a facotry reset of the Oneplus 9 Pro (to Android 11), than updated de devices to the latest update (incl. Android 12 and all avaiable updates) and THAN trayed to install LineageOS for MicroG following strictly the Manual of LineageOS (link). It seams to be perfect, until the first start of LIneageOS. I see the first setup screen (Welcome to LineageOS), on the left corner "Emergency call) and on the right the START button, but the screen doesent react andt on the upper right corner I see an empty battery icon. What can I do?? I'm at the end of my knowledge.
In a step of Installing LineageOS (without MicroG) it is necessary to install the dtbo and vendor boot partitions. Maybe the problem is here?
What I have installed:
- dtbo.img (20220823)
- vendor_boot.img (20220823)
- lineage-19.1-20220820-microG-lemonadep-recovery.img
- lineage-19.1-20220824-microG-lemonadep.zip
In Recovery I see "Version 19.1 (20220824)" is installed.

PS: The volume up and down button works...

How can I be on latest official firmware? Before installing LIneageOS for MicroG I installed all possible Updates of the stock Version of Oneplus, than during the installation process I installed the two vendor-files as described in the manual. Do you have links to the spare firmware or better Installation guides?

If you installed C62 (or latest version for your device) you should be OK
(you can try reading other rom theads, some have the link to spare firmware)
for set-up, i prefer taking dtbo, vendor_boot and boot images from payload.bin file already in the rom.zip (using payload_dumper tool)
once "preliminary set-up" is done, reboot to recovery, then format data and sideload the rom
if you need extra flashing (magisk, kernel, what else) reboot recovery and sideload it

that is certainly purposeful, but much too difficult for my most modest knowledge.
Ironically, I installed the normal LineageOS without MicroG in the meantime (to be able to use the device) and it works reasonably stable. As soon as I know what I have to install additionally when, I'll probably do again first a factory reset to the original operating system of oneplus, all updates and then I try it again with lineageos for microG. Remains to be seen what else I need to install and when :-/ It's frustrating to cannot follow an official Installation guide without having souch issues.
I can't understand why it has to be so difficult and full of detours that one can't do it if one doesn't have in-depth knowledge. Really a pity.

unfortunately official lineage build does not support signature spoofing, this means you need gapps (Nick gapps is the most used , you can check-out also mind-gapps)
crDroid and riceOS are a couple of roms that allow signature spoofing, you will be abile.to run micrpG on those
about payload_dumper just google it, it's a tool for unpagkage images from the a rom file
about increase of complications, we all must thank you Google 1st and OnePlus (or Oppo) in second place

if you need extra flashing (magisk, kernel, what else) reboot recovery and sideload it

I'm looking right now, interesting. You wrote, you prefer taking dtbo, vendor_boot AND Boot Images from payload.bin. When to load dtbo and vendor_boot is describet in the installation guide of lineageOS, but when do you use/install the from you mentioned boot image?

Instead of recovery
basically:
dump payload
flash btbo
flash vendor_boot
(someone suggest to reboot in fastboot)
flash boot
from fastboot menu go to recovery
finally sideload the zip

Hi all, after have lost hours and hours traying to install the latest LineageOS for MicroG, I made a facotry reset of the Oneplus 9 Pro (to Android 11), than updated de devices to the latest update (incl. Android 12 and all avaiable updates) and THAN trayed to install LineageOS for MicroG following strictly the Manual of LineageOS (link). It seams to be perfect, until the first start of LIneageOS. I see the first setup screen (Welcome to LineageOS), on the left corner "Emergency call) and on the right the START button, but the screen doesent react andt on the upper right corner I see an empty battery icon. What can I do?? I'm at the end of my knowledge.
In a step of Installing LineageOS (without MicroG) it is necessary to install the dtbo and vendor boot partitions. Maybe the problem is here?
What I have installed:
- dtbo.img (20220823)
- vendor_boot.img (20220823)
- lineage-19.1-20220820-microG-lemonadep-recovery.img
- lineage-19.1-20220824-microG-lemonadep.zip
In Recovery I see "Version 19.1 (20220824)" is installed.

Hey just wanted you to know that I had the exact same problem, I posted about it here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/wyr4v9
and after a few failed attempts I basically had to hose and reset to stock with MSM (which was hard since I don't have a Win computer, but that's a solution for another day).
I think the other poster is right, you do need to flash firmware first before installing. Have you tried this? I'll try it tonight and report back, as I need to get this running before Monday.

Actually I have the plan to go back to Stock with MSM, than reinstall all updates of the original Oneplus 9 Pro, than reinstall the actual version of LineageOS MicroG (20220824) after dumping payload and flashing dtbo, vendor_boot and boot like psk.lt wrote.
wondering what you will accive.

I'm trying to dump payload. I installed the latest Python version, than downloaded payload_dumper from this link , done what described on the website and now in cmd I have the Message:
File "C:\Users\X\Desktop\Payload_dumper\payload_dumper.py", line 67
<title>payload_dumper/payload_dumper.py at master · vm03/payload_dumper · GitHub</title>
SyntaxError: invalid character '·' (U+00B7)
Do I understand it right, that the script of the tool has an error? Do you have a link of a Payload_dumper Tool that works and from where I can download it? I also found this link and in the text you can download the Tool from here , but I do not trust 100% this sources :-/

I made It! Using the tool from this website (link to the tool) I was able to extract all files. Now I can start.

Last LineageOS for MicroG Version (20220824) finaly INSTALLED (what a fight!).
Many thanks to Psk.lt and hyve9 for your help!
A quick guide for newbes like me:
Install on a PC:
- adb
- the last qualcolm driver ect
- python
download on the PC:
- MSN Tool to go back to stock OS
- payload Dumper Tool (THANK YOU PSK!!!)
- the newest LineageOS for MicroG Version
On the Oneplus 9 Pro:
- With MSN Tool back to Stock OS
- Install all possible Updates (in my device it was C61!)
- Install Oxygen Updater from an app Store or apk
- Install the REALLY last Update for your device (in my Case C62)
- download the last LineageOS for MicroG Version (.zip)
- open the .zip file and copy out the payload.bin file
Than like Psk.lt wrote, with the Payload Dumper dump the payload-file and extract btbo, vendor_boot and boot files
Safe the following files under adb
- btbo
- vendor_boot
- boot
- the lineageOS for MicroG file
Start with the installation like described in the LineageOS guide, but
- use the own btbo and vendor_boot files
- for recovery, insted of using the recovery-file from LineageOS for microG, use the boot file (extractet with Payload dumper)
- finally sideload the LineageOS for MicroG file (.zip)
End

A question: in the future can I use the oxygen Updater under LineageOS for MicroG to install all the newest updates, or does it work only if using the stock OS?

you should use embedded updater (settings - system - update) but you will not be able to copy the zip if you don't have root
If you want backup the updated zip, you should sideload via pc

I'm using LineageOS with MicroG since the End of last year and had never real problems, only the installation progress is complicated (if you follow only the official installation guides of LineageOS and from LOS-MicroG). Last week I had LineageOS without MicroG installed and I must say, I did not really missed the MicroG functions, maybe because the apps I'm using do not need necessarely the functions of MicroG / would mainly need the messaging function, but can still run and function without. It dipend what you want to accive with the OS, if you want to be compleetly G-free under LineageOS, than you have to change at your own a few more things like DNS setting, systemwebview... I can't compare LinOS-MicroG with CRDroid, beacause I never used it.
What I do not like in V 19.1 vs 18.X is the bigger format of the quick setting tiles. I know that it's possible to change it, but I have to find out how to do it in the simplest way.
A function that I miss in LineageOS (for MicroG) is a Sandbox function like in Graphene, but using Shelter helps, even if not as good as a Sandbox.
What I really don't like is the fact, that LineageOS for MicroG doesn't ships Updates with the firmware, and their Installation Guide is not really helpful (do what is described by LineageOS... and it's not really what you have to do).
What I really like is how long the battery life lasts, at least with V18 and it has surely to do with my user's habits. Now to find out how it will be under V19.1.
Over all: I like it and do not want to replace it (for now).
