Google Pixel (sailfish) and upgrade problem. - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi,
I've decided to awake my Pixel and give to my mom.
I haven't been using him for about 2 year. It's on Lineage 15. So I need to upgrade.
I've tried to flash with manual from Lineage website, but it fails with 47%.
I can't flash via recovery (all folders looks like "AJjnskdjfhwekj"), I can flash only via fastboot.
I've found, that my Pixel is OEM Locked and I can't switch it.
How can I solve and upgrade? It's almost 2 years since I've flashed Lineage and I'm not expert anymore.
Any help appreciate.

You can flash lineageOS recovery? After format data the encrypted file names should be gone.

Recovery is deltet ervery time , any help ?

Hey guys i have a little Problem.
everytime i flash a Custom recovery it´s working good but when i restart my phone and go back into recovery my Custom recovery is deltet and i have the Stock recovery on it ??!
any Help ? Thanks
I think you need a modified boot.img or flash supersu (or custom ROM) for a custom recovery to stick.
Search the forum for how to.
Does your bootloader state locks after every reboot? Is there a notice about no rpmb?

okay i will try

So you cant root OOS 4.0?

I have searched and i havent find a solution
I updated, im on OOS 4.0 with F2FS everything smooth and nice.
After setting up i try to flash twrp and once i boot into it it ask me for a password wich isnt the one i put.
I saw some people are in the same problem as i but i didnt see anything taht could help me at all.
I tried with the modified twrp, same thing,
I just want to get it root, any solutions?
Thanks
Well, I managed to get OOS4 with root and data partition as F2FS.
I followed this procedure and worked out just great ! https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...g-dm-verity-error.484019/page-2#post-15558781
Not sure if you can skip some of the steps but right now I have OOS4, with root and TWRP (modified) working and capable of decrypting !
You are encrypted.. Decrypt flash Oos 4.0 directly after that flash SuperSU. I do recommend you using freedomos

It requires a USB Otg, but thanks!
I read that TWRP just needs to update their recovery in case I decide to wait

I do recommend you to wipe userdata then install freedomOS. (you can choose what you want and what you dont want with freedomos)
1. Boot your device into fastboot
2. Go to your Adb drivers and type "fastboot erase userdata"
3. Once that completed adb push the freedomos zip file. I do recommend 3.4 based on OOS 4.0 or you can do what ever you like. Note: to use adb push I do recommend you to put the install zip in the same folder as the adb drivers then type "adb push NAME_OF_ZIP.zip(or just press tab) /system/
4. If you go to TWRP you will find the installation zip under the folder system.
5. Once that's done boot and profit.

It does not require USB OTG. I managed to get it to work without. Just format Data to F2FS and reboot the phone in recovery.
You can then via MTP easily transfer the files and flash in TWRP.

Don't! Do not use MTP the chance of corrupted files is to big, thats why Adb has been designed!

LG G4 flat out refuses to boot into custom recovery!

Hi guys.
My G4 v10c will NOT boot into twrp! I've used adb commands, quickboot app, flashify app etc, etc, but it will NOT play ball! TWRP seems to install ok, but after rebooting and trying to boot into recovery using quickboot, all I get is tiny, barely readable words at top left of my screen, tha last line, in red, saying "fastboot not started"!
I've used root explorer to find and rename the stock recovery file, but still no good! I know that some time ago I did manage to boot into TWRP, and I can see the file on my phone. Using the button dance, I have managed to boot into the stock recovery, but that's it! I've really run out of ideas! Please help, someone! Phone is rooted, stock rom, bootloader unlocked.

Thanks Ganjax, tried that, but still didn't work. After a lot more googling, I tried an older version of TWRP, v.2.8.7.0. to be precise, and VOILA....booted straight into it! Seems I was using a wrong version. Oh, well, lesson learned, eh?
Thanks for your help, though!:good:

It was because you are on Lollipop and later version of TWRP are based on MM sources which aren't compatible backwards with Lollipop
Sent from my LG G4 using XDA Labs
So it seems. I did search for my specific phone, and used what it gave me, but they must assume that everyone has updated to MM! Perhaps if theyd add extra info re. Android version, it would help. NM, no harm done.

I wanted to go back to the my AICP nougat after seeing how horrible the battery life became in 3.5.243ST_Deodex. To my nightmare, I got the fix encryption msg on first boot. So, thinking its clearly with hendi's TWRP alone, I flashed the TWRP 3.2.1-0 from TWRP website but all my stuff disappeared (encrypted perhaps). Had to format everything. So those who want to ONLY use 3.5.243 deodex and not to jump roms afterwards, this recovery is good. It's included by default in the rom so it gets overwritten anyway if u are flashing 3.5.243_ST Deodexed. Just a warning for others so that they don't suffer as me.

As i mention before dearest brother, if you read first post, zui oreo by default will encrypted and not allow you to access internal storage from recovery for security reason, if you using or flashing with official TWRP,
not because zui oreo deodexed,
if you want switch back to custom rom first
keep stay in unofficial twrp don't hurry to flash official twrp because you internal storage in state encrypted by zui oreo,
next wipe data/art catche, cache, and system, then you can flash custom rom,
after rebooting you can change to any twrp as you like, so your data still intact
Happy flashing
Can it also be used for the ZUK Edge?

Bro.. Can we have an updated version of TWRP with treble support? The developer of AOSP extended has uploaded TWRP with treble support but I'm not sure if it encrypts the device or not ... So would love to see it with your version of TWRP.. Thanks

+1 that that just like a magic!Ahhh
Flashing AEX wouldnt encrypt ur device but some treble ROM indeed.
But u can flash the universal decrypting patches after flashing a data-encrypted ROM in a treble-supported TWRP instead.
Can you please update the link, can't download the file with MEGA link,
Here's my situation, I can't flash anything with TWRP cause it can't mount Data & internal storage,
I can use OTG though, But, I can boot into my phone normally, IF I connect a charger while it's at White ZUK logo, but if I unplug the charger and try to play PUBGM (or any power hungry tasks), it shuts down immediately, I'm on deodexed ZUI 4 BTW. I can use the phone as long as it's connected to the charger without any issues, Just can't figure out if it's a software issue, or is it with my battery.

-ALERT- Miui Pie Beta (Official and Miui EU) breaking TWRP

Good day everyone
Yesterday i wanted to test the latest Pie Miui ROM for whyred, i had 2 options , the official beta pie and Xiaomi EU weekly pie, i choose EU...
As always in TWRP, format, wipe all, and flash from OTG.... flawless clean install, tested the Rom (same as old 8.1 miui 10) few changes.....
Ok, i wanted to go back to Havok....
So.... as always i went to TWRP wipe everything, then format then wipe (yes i format and wipe many times always).... and that´s all , my TWRP can't read OTG or internal, i wiped the system so i dont have any OS... i always clean flash from OTG.
I always wipe and format data every clean isntall for custom roms (AOSP)....
Now nothing works in TWRP , even the vibration has gone(haptic feedback when touchscreen in TWRP)...
I tried some java tool app, i can change beteen official TWRP, ORANGE, etc, but every custom recovery has the same issue....
Cant read OTG, cant mount, cant...
I need help, im not very skill in this things my whyred is my main device.....
Please people, theres a new cancer and is more bad than ARB !!
Fastboot ROM > MIUI with 8.1 as base > whatever you want.

Haptic feedback is broken on OrangeFox, but Recovery works well, Just flash any MIUI from MiFlash (based on Oreo), reinstall TWRP and you can restore your backup of Havoc if you have one

It's normal, It doesn't support MIUI Pie on our device, and data is encrypted, not a big issue if you use apps like Titanium Backup, if you Need to flash another ROM just format Data and you're good to go, at least it's not completely broken like TWRP

No problem I have booted it with TWRP flashed by micro SD on orange fox.
My RN5 soft bricked after flash the leaked pie with orange fox on unencrypted Arrow OS , the encription blocked my boot.
For fix see this:
1) Flash official latest TWRP from micro SD
2) Format Data
3) Reboot recovery
4) Reflash Pie leaked
5) Wipe data
6) Boot on Pie
You lose the TWRP but your RN5 work.
Now I have pie beta and fastboot not work , I am stucked on MIUI Pie with stock recovery and no-root.
Wait for a fix for return on ArrowOS , you have only a soft brick if you have not performed a downgrade.
Sorry for bad english.....
TWRP Read it 100% you have'nt bricked your RN5.
Buy a MicroSD and no worry , your phone its alive
Mi Flash not recognize it , you can boot only by clean flash by micro SD and you can flash only Pie Beta and boot it after a format data.
After boot wipe data from MIUI recovery for clean installation.
If you have TWRP and Pie beta , perform a format data and a factory reset and boot on Pie.
Copy Pie beta and TWRP on microSD and test my tutorial.

Reflash Miui Pie and perform a format data , for me work , but I have flashed only Pie Beta from Orange and no other 8.1 firmware based AOSP Pie Roms after this leaked.
Only my issue are on Encryption from orange , with TWRP format data and a clean flash from micro sd I have fixed it and booted on Pie Miui.
Fastboot and MiFlash not work for me with Miui Pie beta this is my only issue now
And I go back to AOSP ArrowOS.
FOR OTHER USERS DONT FLASH MIUI PIE BETA , AOSP ARE BETTER FOR NOW.
LEAKED ROM ON THE STORY OF XDA MODDING ARE THE BEST WAY FOR BRICK YOUR DEVICE

First of all as long as you're able to boot into TWRP then this is absolutely not a hard brick, hard brick means you won't be able to do anything even booting into recovery, so no need to worry.
Once you flashed this release you can't use any older version of MIUI OR even custom ROMs unless you flash an old firmware, for example 9.3.14 which is the latest oreo and i don't suggest you to do that because it's only a matter of time and you will update, even the custom ROMs will be updated to the new vendor, so it's useless to do that, i also had a useless device when i went back to oreo like no vibration, earpiece, camera....etc but i only flashed fw-less not the whole ROM.
My suggestion is to flash pie .eu since it has no encryption so you won't face issues and stick with this build and don't try to do anything, and BTW as you said there's no vibration on TWRP so don't worry, I've the same now, TWRP can read my internal and external without any issues but if you've exFAT SD card it won't work on the system, no support for exFAT yet but on recovery it's fine so again don't worry.
I know it's a real pain in the ass but it's a matter of time until the recoveries get updated, also pie is really awesome, the system is very fluid. Hope that will helps.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the TWRP isn't recognizing the PC, tried orange and the official.
Hi I do have the same problem but I recovered from it .
Being stucked on miui pie i accidentally wiped system and I can't boot into system and because of decryption issue with recovery I don't know what to do
Here what I done
Flashed system ,userdata,boot,cache images from fastboot ROM after that I booted into system. There waits a surprise for me camera, earpiece and some other stuff are not working.
On that ROM from system update I chose choose update package and selected 9.3.14 beta . After the system updates to latest beta I got everything working fine .
Note: I'm on ARB4 and flashed roms with ARB4.
I have no issues, but I already had encryption with PIN so ?
Hey guys, I tried the SD card method but it not works,
Here's what I did
Put all my files into sdcard
Went to recovery
Installed orange fox recovery
After selecting advance wipe, then it gave me error that unable to wipe.
