An idea

Try installing the smallest (pico) GApps set, and WHERE you are getting it from might matter. I've always pulled mine from opengapps.org and never have had an issue. Assuming that works, you can always manually add the component apps for larger sets from the Play Store. It is actually my preferred method for devices with a custom ROM. It does require extra effort for the initial setup, but after that everything updates automatically anyway. There might be one app that isn't happy for some reason and that way you can at least get everything else squared away. WHY one particular app would be a "problem child" is an important and related but separate issue, so I'd vote for getting everything I could to work in the meanwhile.

Thanks for the directory location for the update!

Appreciate your assistance. Have been letting the updater work, but recently updated TWRP to 3.1.1 and that may have prevented the updater from working like it has in the past!

Waiting for the search function in root explorer would have taken forever...

Again, many thanks!

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Which version of TWRP are you running?

Older versions of TWRP - 3.0.0 and earlier - seem to have difficulties in handling the process automatically. I am ASSUMING you can at least manually update running TWRP with the downloaded file(s) in the standard locations? If that is the case, make sure you are running the most current TWRP. You may wish to re-install it even if it is the most current version, just to be sure.

hi, i have a oneplus x with current lineageos on it. twrp ver 3.1.1.1 and updates do not apply for me either. the system reboots into twrp and sits at the main screen. i have to install manually.

It worked

I unticked the zip verification and it worked.. (but i dont know what all are there in the new update.. LOL) .. Since I wasn't sure about this move, I backed up everything just before updating..

Hope it helps..
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
I believe that (only on some devices but, i know not all) the TWRP Recovery settings does have the zip verification option selected by default.

Curiouser & Curiouser

After a few months of smooth sailing and fully automated updates, my LOS devices - LG V410 tablets - have experienced all manner of peculiarities for the last two or three weeks. Nothing fatal, just irritating. Most notably, the LOS Updater attempts to switch over to TWRP to do the update but the devices power down and die rather than re-booting into TWRP. I suspect it is NOT necessarily a single device specific issue, so even though I will attend to popping a notice into the LOS bug reporting queue, others may wish to do likewise, especially if, as I suspect, the glitch is not manifested across all supported devices.

Specifics: LG v410 tablets. TWRP 3.1.0.0 LOS 14.1-21070721
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] furboom1240:
Do it manually

You can prevent Lineage from booting into recovery by hitting Cancel when you are prompted, or if the Updater is NOT in the foreground.

The update file is located here:

/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates.

I use ES File Explorer to fish the file out and put it my update folder in Downloads.

Then I reboot to recovery and flash manually. I usually have to reflash SuperSU afterward.

This is on my HTC M8 running Lineage OS 14.1 (20Jul2017) and I'm using PhilZ Touch Recovery with a passcode.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] GeoNez:
Manual Updates

Yes, and they install without incident. BUT, it would be nice to have it take place seamlessly as it did a few weeks back, and I suspect it shall again at some point in the future. Still worth a whole bunch more than we are required to pay for it :laugh:

Lineage mido updater problem

I can't download the lineage 14.1 official updates, internet connection and storage have no problem, I think it is the updated as problem.

How can I solve it?

Using Redmi Note 4X(MIDO), Lineage 14.1 NIGHTLY MIDO.

HELP.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] darrylhadfield:
Same thing occurred to me:

Settings > About Phone > LineageOS Updates > Install

It reboots to TWRP, and stops there.

I was able to navigate to /data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates and apply the OTA update from there, but it still shows as ready for installation.

Running a Note3 (Verizon), with HLTETMO version of LineageOS installed, with SEPL1 baseband, and TWRP 3.1.1.0 .
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Mr.Salty:
I can't even download the update file , what to do?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] darrylhadfield:
Hey Mr. Salty.

The simplest thing to do would be to download the latest update, move it to your phone's storage, boot to recovery and dirty flash it. That is, in a nutshell, what the OTA update does.

Be sure to wipe your cache before you reboot, and it'll be close to 1:1 what the OTA update would run like. :)

I have a question about installing lineage nightly builds updates?

i have lineage os running on my samsung s3 works perfectly and have been installing the nightly builds as they come in

fairly simple installs automatically. i was good at checking in on the updates but but when i checked for updates after about a month i saw six updates available so here lies my question do the nightly build updates need to be installed in order or can i just install the latest one . not sure how that all works i just want to make sure i dont screw anything up.

can see im still new at this . please if anyone can help
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
That's your call. The Nightly updates are not a requirement to keep your device running.

I've also got an S3 that has CM13 and it's still running great.

It won't hurt your system to update it every time ones released, once a week, once a month, etc...

No alarms will ring... LMAO! :)

TRWP, Sure?

And did you try rebooting to TRWP too? because mine now boots to the less well designed LineageOSRecovery fo which I still have to find out it's functionality. After the first reboot it broke my root. It took me over a week to find out because everything was working fine and smooth. (Is) (Except Root)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I don't agree with [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]. The updates are the main reason for me to use lineage OS. You can select any build. No need to go one by one.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Mr.Salty:
I downloaded the updates from lineage forum, and tried to install,but still cannot, it's okay, since the updates aren't stated with any improvements, maybe I will wipe my ROM and install the new update once.a month, or after some months.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Tried settings>about phone>..updates? Or are you on unofficial?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Mr.Salty:
On Official, ya, tried, settings, about phone,lineage is updates,then scan and download,but can't finish the download,so, downloaded from lineage forum, then install, and wipe dalvik,cache, then, boot system, then waited for half an hr, still showing just the boot animation, ornhalf an hr is just normal, I have to wait for about an hour?

Thx
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Looks like you downloaded a bad version. Why forum? Try lineageos.org
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
Before i was to respond to [MENTION=8031265]kurtn[/MENTION], i wanted to be sure of my answer first.

I had asked the question to one of the lead developers in the Lineage team and i just received the following response.

"Updating once per month is enough to get the latest security fixes."

It was exactly what I was looking for... Brief and to the point.

So you could state that I was both wrong and right as to the frequency of updating the LineageOS Nightly builds.

Thank you very much for your time, patience and understanding.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] myxal:
Boot stuck in animation after update

Hi all,

I'm kinda new to updating CM/LineageOS frequently (used to stick with CM milestone releases and only switch to LineageOS 2 weeks ago).

I'm on mako and tried to apply update to the 2017-08-31 "nightly" build, only for the phone to loop the boot animation indefinitely (left it sitting for 2 hours, no progress).

So, a couple of questions:

Are there any extra steps I need to take (should have taken), if I'm using substratum, root access, and openGApps nano?

How do I find out what's going on? The phone is quite warm when stuck, so it appears to be doing something. I think I might have an ADB trust pairing on one of my computers to troubleshoot the issue, but I'm not sure how to do it.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Substratum could make the problems. I would try clean installation of old LOS and update to newer nightly.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] myxal:
What' the point of going through the update with a clean installation? :confused: At this point, I consider clearing of /data/ as last-resort-option, which I'd like to avoid. (Unless there's a way to back up and later restore the current data+system, which I'm missing)

EDIT for clarity - I know TWRP can back up both and more, but AFAIK it can do so only if there's actually enough space on internal storage, which is kind of a problem...)

I did find the machine where I can even run adb shell and get on the phone - I see the CPU is taken by "dex2oat" process for a couple of minutes, after which it subsides for a while (~10 seconds?), and after that a new dex2oat process starts and burns some CPU. This seems to repeat indefinitely.

Digging around some more, it seems the phone is running nearly the same command over and over again (only the --base argument seems to change):

/system/bin/dex2oat--image=/data/dalvik-cache/arm/system@framework@boot.art--dex-file=/system/framework/telephony-ext.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/core-oj.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/core-libart.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/conscrypt.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/okhttp.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/core-junit.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/ext.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/framework.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/telephony-common.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/voip-common.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/ims-common.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/apache-xml.jar--dex-file=/system/framework/org.apache.http.legacy.boot.jar--oat-file=/data/dalvik-cache/arm/system@framework@boot.oat--instruction-set=arm--instruction-set-features=smp,div,atomic_ldrd_strd--base=0x6f7a6000--runtime-arg-Xms64m--runtime-arg-Xmx64m--image-classes=/system/etc/preloaded-classes--compiled-classes=/system/etc/compiled-classes--instruction-set-variant=krait--instruction-set-features=default

I tried installing the September 6 update and my phone is now in a boot loop. What can I do? I can boot into fastboot mode and fastboot command works, but adb doesn't.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] myxal:
No that I have a solution to the boot loop, but TWRP at least should have ADB enabled.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Vadi2:
It did indeed - thanks.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] darrylhadfield:
Q: Why did the download location change? It used to be /data/data/org.lineageos.updates and now it's /data/lineageos_updates .

Q: I'm on a Note3 (SM900V), running the HLTETMO version. Why doesn't TWRP handle updates automatically? It reboots me into the bootloader, and sits there - I have to find and then manually install the update. To my knowledge, a large number of Note3 users are having the same issue (and, yes, I've asked in the Note3 forum as well)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Maybe a TWRP bug. My phones update automatically. Try different TWRP versions?

i got stuck in bootloop after manually updating on my N9005

Thank you, but that doesn't help me then.

I already have the same version (3.1.1-0) on 2 x HTC One m8 phones, and it works 100%.

It simply doesn't work on Note3, as expected. unsure if this is ROM or TWRP, but logic would suggest it's a ROM issue.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Rynjas:
Hey, can anyone here help me out?

I recently updated Lineage on my Nexus 5x (bullhead) through the onboard updater. . After it ran through the normal TWRP recovery to flash the new build, it did the normal thing and rebooted to install the update.

My concern is that the updater has been running on the boot screen for 4 HOURS. It's never taken that long, and i dont see why it should now. Is there anything i might have missed or did incorrectly?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] myxal:
By "updater", you mean the animated boot logo that comes up after installing the update through recovery? Have a look a few posts above, I had the same issue on Nexus 4 (never managed to fix it or bothered to try and find the cause).
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
I wasn't sure if anyone here had noticed but, the Lineage blog from a few weeks ago had 1 entry that stated the following:

"LineageOS Updater app has been rewritten. Previous issues with downloading updates should be gone now.

Downloads are now stored at /data/lineageos_updates/ "

The following link is to that blog:

https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-14/

I just wanted to spread the word in case someone may have missed it. :)

I have a question about updating my LineageOS from version 14.1 to 15 (when it will be officially avaliable)... Are such "big" updates able to be installed OTA, or should I install it via TWRP? Will I be forced to install all the apps again (because I will lose all data), or all the apps will stay. I hope, someone could explain me, what to do... Maybe the clean install will be the best solution? Thank you for your answers... :o I am sorry for my bad English... :)

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] sharkyslo:
So I have to wipe cache, dalvik cache, system and data via TWRP?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
At this point of time, this is technically an unanswerable question as a whole.

If you were to monitor the Official Lineage Blogs, the following link is to the latest information regarding the Official LineageOS 15.0...

https://www.lineageos.org/Changelog-14/

If you scroll down, to the 3rd item, you'll notice that it states the following:

"

LineageOS 15.0 progress

While the cm-14.1 branch development hasn’t stopped, we’re also working on the next LineageOS version (15.0), based on the latest Android 8.0. We will refrain from giving any ETA, just patiently wait until the new branch is ready for release-time."

As of right now, there's no Official Release (for ANY device) for the LineageOS 15.0...

Just be patient...

As far as Unofficial LineageOS 15.0 releases... there's a good portion of them already released.

If there's one already released for your device, and if you have a question regarding it, then the best thing to do is to ask that question within that specific Thread.

This is the best information your going to find and, I'm sure, others will answer this question in a similar way.

I do wish you the best of luck!

[MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION]

Thank you for your answer. I think, we did not understand. I was asking about bigger updates. For example I have mentioned update from LOS 14 to 15. I was asking potentially for LOS 15, when it will be official, not unofficial.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
Okay then...

OFFICIAL = From the original developer of the development in question.

UNOFFICIAL = From a different developer based upon the original development.

The LineageOS/CyanogenMod Unofficial development releases are not test versions (or precursors) to an Official release.

Those developers who release anything that's stated as "Unofficial" are those who bases their developments off the Original Developments and are not endorsed by the Official developers.

With that stated...

Please don't think of an Unofficial development as being worse than or not as good as the Official developments.

I've seen many Unofficial developments just as good and even better than the Official ones.

Just do your homework, research and other things and please don't assume that Unofficial means anything negative.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... P:)

14.1 Updates 20171006 stuck on Yureka logo

Hello!

Was updating my phone last night using recovery, the installation said it's success but after rebooting the phone it's stuck on Yureka logo and won't boot

I was wondering if I missed a step but I'm doing the exact same thing for updating the previous 20171001 updates and it worked just fine before

Things I remember is I haven't delete the previous update file and I haven't update Magisk either

Sorry for the language mess but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say :crying:

Is there a recommended TWRP for your device and ROM?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jhford:
My Lineage ROM broke

I installed the Lineage OS version 14.1 on 2 devices: my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 N910T (sorry, it's too good and I can't sell it) and my Nexus 7 (2013) LTE/4G (deb). I rooted both devices and installed the latest TWRP recovery.

The Nexus 7 is doing quite well, and I really like the OS. However, although I'm having trouble completely reconstructing the steps that led to the following mini-disaster in my own mind, my best recollection is that I either reinstalled TWRP or re-rooted the device after the original OS installation, and rebooted. However, the lock screen would not recognize my unlock pin. So, I could not get beyond the lock screen. I tried to reinstall TWRP, I overwrote it with CWM, and I tried to re-root it. None of that worked. I opted for the only available solution and reinstalled the T-Mobile stock ROM. I still have to unlock the phone in order to root it and install TWRP, because installed the stock ROM relocked the device, which I'll do on Monday when I'll also make a Nandroid backup.

However, although I really liked Lineage OS, I'm really leary of reinstalling it after this time-consuming experience. I've rooted and installed numerous custom ROMS in my day, but this has never happened to me.

Can anyone give me some words of wisdom as to why this happened, and how I can avoid it if I give it another try? The fact that the Nexus 7 is performing as advertised but the Note 4 failed remains the mystery.

Thanks
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
[MENTION=263313]jhford[/MENTION], is this really the phone lock or do you have a sim installed that needs pin to unlock?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jhford:
The lockscreen unlock pattern or code is user-optional and not SIM-based. But I just remembered something else. I dirty flashed a second nightly build before the disaster, because I read somewhere on XDA that dirty flashing was OK. Of course, I did a dalvik/cache wipe, though. Maybe dirty flashing was the cause, which this page seems to confirm.

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3536401

Can someone weigh in on this, please?

Thanks
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
[MENTION=263313]jhford[/MENTION], the link is about magisk and GPS. Do you use magisk? Dirty flashing different nightlys of the same ROM should be no problem. This is what the built in updater does every week.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jhford:
Sorry about the link. No, I didn't use magisk and never have. Should I have used it? I flashed a supersu variant for my phone. Bummer, I thought dirty flashing caused the problem. However, I used the phone with the initial flash for a few days before the second dirty flash with no issues.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jhford:
I decided to reinstall Lineage OS and used Chainfire's Cf auto-root zip file to root the device in TWRP, which somehow uninstalled TWRP. I reflashed TWRP, which unrooted the device. I reflashed CF's zip file again and everything worked, this time. I have made Nandroid backups following every subsequent change.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I don't understand why you mess around with chainfire stuff. LineageOS has an excellent addonsu in download/extras.
