"Zip signature verification failed!" when flashing Lineage

Tried to flash Lineage zip with option "Zip signature verification" enabled.

Got error: "Zip signature verification failed!"

Is it supposed to be like that?

Flashing without "Zip signature verification" is ok.

Can you please point me how to disable encryption?

When formatting SD storage as "internal", I do not see any such option(s)
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jasonmerc:
Unless you explicitly enable encryption in settings, by default your device is not encrypted.

If you're trying to get rid of preexisting encryption, boot to TWRP, go to "Format", then go to "Format Data" and let it do its thing. This will wipe your SD card and internal storage, but encryption should be gone after that
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
Thanks, did that.

Now SD shows as "external storage". File system is f2fs.

I guess f2fs is as good as Ext4 as far as error resilience (and speed) and certainly better than FAT32.

Will appreciate other's thoughts and experiences on that.

I am a MS Windows person :) and new to Linux file systems.

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Of possible interest: https://androidmodguide.blogspot.in/p/file-systems.html

I use FAT32 for cross platform compatibility if data is not critical. Otherwise EXT4. Most of my SD cards have two partitions: one EXT4 the other FAT32. Apps (for performance) and critical data go to the former, everything else to the latter. When possible/practical/appropriate I disable journaling on EXT4 partitions.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
Thanks! Very useful.

BTW, I followed F2FS Install Guide to add f2fs support on Linux Mint Live USB and it worked.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
SD card quality varies widely. Many are not especially robust, particularly with intense write operations. Check reviews to find quality card within your price range.

I would not disable journeling in this usage scenerio (TWRP backups).

Other questions? Google is your friend. :)
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
I am aware of that. I use FAT32-formatted SD and USB flash storage extensively with my PC (including backup) and seldom observe partition/file corruption.

So, with Harpia, I was quite surprised...

My usual brands: Sandisk, ADATA, Lexair.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
I have yet to experience a single incident of file corruption on the modest 32GB card that lives in my Harpia (formatted and utilized as previously described). Also have an extensive background in Windows. Have trashed a few SD cards over the years. Happens.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
My observations:

If SD is formatted either as exFAT or F2FS (and is set as portable in OS), TWRP backup goes ok.

If SD is formatted as EXT4 (and still portable storage, not adopted) , then TWRP backup fails.

TWRP backup only works with EXT4-formatted SD is set as adopted
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
I store TWRP backups on the FAT32 partition so have not experienced this.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
why not F2FS?

I mean why not to use F2FS-formatted partition for backup as well. According to your reference link, F2FS is obviously better than FAT32.

Only for compatibility with Windows PC?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Speed, simplicity (permissionless) and compatibility with newly every major platform. I don't want to think about how my portable media is formatted when attempting to access from whatever device I happen to be sitting at. Obviously things are different for critical or single source material. There I use NTFS or EXT4. F2FS offers no advantages aside from speed which is largely irrelevant on slower flash storage. Still some questions around F2FS reliability although I suspect most of that is overblown and/or legacy (ie: sustained ignorance).
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
Is (TWRP) backup "critical" enough to require the EXT4 reliability (as opposed to FAT32)?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
I have a rotation that insures a known good backup exists in at least one (usually multiple) locations. Personal data is not relevant as other mechanisms protect that.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
More observations:

For stock Android 6+, they say that adopted storage is EXT4 formatted.

If SD set/formatted/adopted by Lineage as internal , then Diskinfo detect it as f2fs formatted.

Strange? Or intended?

If I format SD as EXT4 by TWRP, Lineage recognizes it and Diskinfo detect it as EXT4.

But TWRP fails to back up to EXT4-formatted SD
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Yep - TWRP can be weird that way as it sometimes gets file permissions wrong. Try formatting card on a different platform. As you're a Windows guy give Partition Wizard a whirl (free version is fine). If the problem persists could be an issue with the TWRP build for this device. Have seen that on other devices; once again usually a permissions issue.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
OK, doing that. SDcard formatted by TWRP as EXT4 shows in Partition Wizard as EXT 3.

OK. Formatted SD as EXT4 with Partition Wizard. Booted Harpia...LineageOS says SD card is corrupted and suggested to format it as portable storage.

Going to format it as EXT4 again with Linux Mint

UPDATE:

In Linux Mint:

(1) cfdisk /dev/sdc => deleted and re-created partition /dev/sdc1

(2) mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1

Now TWRP backs up to EXT4-formatted SD ok.

Learning Linux :)

I am wondering if the same could be done in LineageOS terminal
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Interesting - thanks for sharing. Comments/observations:

- a format in one environment does not necessarily guarantee recognition/acceptance in another (learned that long ago)

- my experienced with Partition Wizard has generally been good; not sure what happened

- Linux is the fall-back environment when you want to get something done the right way :)

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DB126:
Not the ROM unless misinstalled or working with dirty/corrupt caches. Likely an a app or configuration setting. Look at battery stats to identify the culprits. Occationally kernel comes into play; unlikely on this device.

I could use the exact same wording/post in any of the ROM threads.

Could be user or system app. If stock battery stats are not surfacing culprit try BBS (Better Battery Stats) or GSAM available in Play Store.

Config settings? Far too many scenerios to detail. In the most recent example poster was concerned about screen consumption. Answer: turn down the brightness. Not rocket science.

Can you please tell me how you were able to install lineageOS on your phone?

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] aczlan:
The XT1609 is NOT unlockable AFAIK (a family member has that one). The XT1607 IS unlockable, you enter in a command through ADB to get a unlock code, enter that on Motorola's site and they give you the code to unlock it. After that, its just a matter of installing LineageOS.

Hang up/freeze on "Advanced Restart"

Developer Options => enable "Advanced Restart".

Pressing Power button brings the menu:

If "Restart" is selected, it often completely freezes the phone.

Clearing Dalvik and all cashes does not help.

OK, installed catlog app on my rooted phone, now have access to the log file.

What event to filter out/look for?

What event name is associated with a reboot?

BTW, the log file has many 'error' messages.

Is it considered normal/common for LineageOS?

Would it be normal for a stock ROM, too?

Low voice in call (Google voice, Google phone app)

Folks,

I have a perplexing issue. I updated an XT1607 to the latest lineage OS (Aug 1 drop) and everything works perfectly except when in a call the user can hear softly or not at all the person talking from the XT16-7. If I put it on bluetooth or speaker it works just fine, just with the earpiece. Also I use a microphone recorder app and it works perfectly (the mic). I also tested the proximity sensor and it is working perfectly. This issue happens with the google phone app and the google hangouts dialer. I also tried another SIM and the same issue persists. I also turned off AudioFX and no change.

Sometimes for it to actually register one has to close their hand around where the mic is and then it will come out the other side, and when open you may hear nothing or the voice very soft.

BTW - the earpiece on the phone works fine as well as the speakers.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
It seems that the freeze problem is caused by custom boot logo.

If flashed with the custom logo, the phone often freezes after "Advanced Restart".

Without logo flashed, it seems to restart without freezing.

Now the question is - which logo file can be safely flashed?

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spiked_mistborn:
Is anybody else using the f2fs filesystem on their external SD card? I'm able to create folders, but not files. When using Solid Explorer to copy a file to the SD card it says "requested file path is not found." The Lineage Files app doesn't work either, but I can write files from within TWRP.

Another persistent issues that I've been having is paired Bluetooth devices frequently disappear from the list when trying to reconnect, requiring them to be paired again (especially annoying when getting in and out of the car).

I'll check the logs when I get some time off work, but I guess I'll probably have to learn to use jira to report these issues.

[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Marcos60001:
How did you do that? I'm curious. Are we talking about the phone's internal memory or the actual SD card you slot into the phone?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
actual SD card. Using Linux Mint Live GParted, formatted EXT4 file system. The only hassle is with setting correct permissions.

Perhaps, it can also be done with TWRP via OTG

Note that EXT4 support is present on every Linux machine while F2FS support is rarely pre-installed
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Marcos60001:
Interesting. Although I can see how that would improve the data access speeds, there's also the problem of it breaking all compatibility with Windows systems.
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rybshik:
F2FS will be incompatible, either. And even worse, few Linux machines have it installed.

My concern was not the slow speed of FAT32, but reliability and resilience to corruption.

I have been playing with Android (Moto G4 Athene and Moto G4 Play Harpia) only for a couple of months, but already had a few incidences of SD file system corruption, with different brands (Sandisk, ADATA, Kingston).

I have rarely had corruption problems with USB Flash/SD using with Windows PCs in years.

Is it caused by ROM issues ( LineageOS) or is it common for stock Android, too?

Or, is i caused by TWRP?
[Moto G4 Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Marcos60001:

Reliable and full-featured

I just finished installing it through the packages android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot on Debian 9, thanks to the official instructions at LineageOS and tips from here and there. So far so good. Everything I tested worked. It has a very clean look and lots of new features compared to the stock ROM (I liked "Night Light") -- not to mention responsiveness and more RAM available. I did not root and I did not install GApps (as I'm seeking a full free software experience). F-Droid will be my software manager.

Great OS. Actively maintained harpia build. New Nightly builds all the time.

I just noticed it keeps trying to download a new version Over the Air, but it's already running the latest version, so it fails before the download is complete.

The version I'm running is from August 16th 2017, but the LineageOS update shows that I'm running a non-existent build made a day earlier, August 15th. It makes the OTA thing believes I need to update when I don't. If it persists across builds, I'll report to the maintainers.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a white LED blinking on my phone. I've never seen this damn LED before with the stock ROM. I thought this phone didn't have a LED.
