A few options, maybe .....

Assuming at some point you had done an initial wipe and clean install of one of the more recent weekly Lineage builds to use as your starting point? If you had started with the unofficial CM 14 a long time ago and didn't do that, it could explain the problem even if a manual install over it would work fine. Ditto if you had started with the "experimental" Lineage build. Even though you "SHOULD" be able to just install it, I personally think we need to approach that with a healthy level of skepticism until it proves out for a specific device :(

Also assuming the same for the TWRP build, especially since your device has the Qualcomm chipset rather than the Exynos. Further assuming you at least get the download to the proper folder but need to manually run the update after which all is well?

Lots of assumptions here, but if you could check those out and post a reply with a more detailed description of exactly what happens we might be able to offer some more detailed suggestions. :fingers-crossed:

Good Luck

question:

i have

LineageOS-Version:

14.1-20170126-UNOFFICIAL-tsubasa

Autoupdate doesn't work.

Manuall update with TWRP 3.0.2.0 nightly build 14.1 20170407 shows this error: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h0mvv078yuedm5p/IMG_20170410_105646.jpg?dl=0

Any Idea ?

Thanks
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Not really, I am afraid

Difficult at best to try and predict what an unofficial build will do, since the support for it is presumably outside the normal Lineage developer channels. The fact that you HAVE updates to flash for it is interesting in itself, since one must ask WHO is preparing the updates, and if it is an UNOFFICIAL build, it surely is not to be found on the Lineage web site ? Care to provide some more specifics ? To the point, if your build is unofficial, precisely what hardware is your update intended for ?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] tom_lt25i:
Hm Idea. Maybe i Should ask [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] if it is possible to do this type of update.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
any chance?

From what you've provided, it APPEARS that you may have initially installed an unofficial build onto your now officially supported device ? For MY two cents, I would try backing up my data, wiping everything, and doing a clean install of the latest build. Of course, that's easy for me to say since I don't have to do it myself. :rolleyes:

The other thing to try and get hold of is the newest TWRP 3.1.0-0 build, which appears to be available for your device (TWRP.ME) and has cured all of my update issues and seems to be doing the same for lots of other people.

Keep us posted, please. Good Luck
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] tom_lt25i:
Ok

the new TWRP version didn't help.

Could this problem exist because i use App2SD ?

I flashed a new build and reinstalled everything.

....

I will try to update the next few days to see if this is working.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
App2SD ? Interesting

A2SD is / was a great program when once upon a time I needed it, but hard to imagine that functionality is still required in Lineage 14, especially when you could be able to adopt SD storage and just treat it like more native space if you needed it. Either approach leaves the SD not removable but one is built into the ROM, so I would go with that one. However, I really did get a lot of useful mileage out of A2SD when I once needed it so I can see how one might not be in a hurry to say goodbye to it. :crying: I still fail to see how that would prevent the auto update from working unless (best guess) you've put something vital out on your SD card and the OS doesn't like it in the lower level startup mode. Possible the OS is trying to launch something before A2SD tells it where it is, I suppose. If you've got a clean install on an official build and a real TWRP in place, you're running out of things it might otherwise be !!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] 7adm:
can confirm that auto update does not work with the latest official lineage and twrp 3.1.0.0 on jfltexx. device always restarts at 20% prep and just boots into recovery.

clean install, running xxspqa1 bl.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Have you tried, and what happens if you attempt, to run the update manually from the Lineage side - NOT from within TWRP ? Before updating TWRP I would always get an automatic startup of TWRP but no update took place. Is this what is happening to you?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] 7adm:
Not sure if I understand correctly, are you talking about the lineage update or the twrp update?

I do the lineage updates via the updater app included in the rom. The updater notifies me about the new build, I hit the download button, the package downloads and a message pops up asking me if I'd like to start the update. It also mentions that you need a compatible recovery like twrp for the automatic update to work (which I have). The update process starts (this is still on the lineage side), progresses to 20%, at which point the device restarts into recovery without doing anything else. Within twrp I have to navigate manually to data/data/org.lineage.updater/app_updates to initiate a manual flash.

Back in the day with CM13 the auto update worked perfectly! Somehow I think the device restarts too soon with lineage, I seem to remember that the update indicator in CM13 progressed to 100% before rebooting into twrp to finish the install.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
That narrows down the possibilities

You are now describing exactly what happened with my LG tablet before I installed the 3.1.0-0 version of TWRP. Once I did that, updating became automatic. Maybe (long shot) there was a glitch in installing TWRP and you could try to re-install that? While we all would like to think downloads and updates are free from the random glitch, I've had to re-install one or two of the more recent Lineage weekly (OK, "nightly") builds for one reason or another, the most common being an annoying tendency to revert to the default wallpaper and display settings as opposed to my preferences. The fact that the Lineage download servers are clearly being rather heavily hit on at times due to demand for updates (the price of fame) may not be helping too much, either.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
OK, monitored this week's update process just to be sure .....

The auto restart to TWRP at "20%" is exactly what my tablet does. Once TWRP is up and running, it processes the recovery script that Lineage passes to it, which admittedly may take a WHILE, but ultimately and automatically reboots to Lineage after that. If you are only getting things to pass the recovery script to TWRP, it sounds like your problem is there, and as I said, what you describe was EXACTLY my experience before updating TWRP. Try clearing caches and re-flashing TWRP ?? Good Luck and post updates, please.

Lineage nightly

After installing the latest nightly lineage 7.1.1 on my OnePlus One, I tried to download the Optimum app from the play store but it says " device not compatible".

I don't know why it says that, when I had Marshmallow cm13 I had the app installed, I don't get it. Any ideas? Thanks
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Well .....

Unfortunately, I think that one's a bit outside the scope of this forum. We are kind of restricted to update installation related issues, as in "why won't it work" and "how did you MAKE it work." Your problem sounds like the update went fine but now something else is not happy after the fact. Sounds more like an app developer issue, but I guess you might post it to Lineage as a "bug" as well. Looking at the Optimum web site it does suggest it should work with just about anything more advanced than orange juice cans and string :cyclops: Unless you had a whole host of other app related problems. In that case I would suggest, and maybe this might help any way, clear the cache(s) and re-install the update. What have you got to lose besides a little time? Good Luck.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] 7adm:
soo, the new build has been released yesterday and the auto update is still not working for me (reflashed twrp prior to upgrading for good measure).. in any case, it seems that I am not the only one with that problem:

How do I update my Leeco Le 2 with latest Lineage OS without losing my installed apps?

Plz help.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Shouldn't be a problem, but .....

Are you replacing a stock ROM with Lineage or updating an existing Lineage - not clear from your post.

If replacing the stock ROM - Titanium Backup should handle all your apps and data with ease. Just about the best 5 dollars you would ever spend on an Android app, in my opinion. All you need is a rooted device. It is pretty bulletproof.

If updating an existing Lineage - I've yet to lose an installed anything after an update, but just to be completely SAFE, recommend you spend a few quality minutes doing a backup of the whole thing using TWRP (? assumed ?) and if something goes amiss, you can restore it back into place. ;) I confess to being a backup junkie, and usually keep two or more generations of complete backups offline, with the most current one on a removable SD Card. Have I ever NEEDED any of them? Only once, but that pays for all of the time spent, at least for me.

Also, back up the whole thing if you are replacing the ROM for the first time, too.

Good backups are like good friends. It is hard to have too many of them.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] isar998:
Yes, I am updating existing Lineage with latest one, Nightly. The problem is, I am using Le 2 and it doesn't come with a memory card. Neither do I have an OTG. However, I managed to flash a ROM by wiping everything but internal storage. I have made a backup of everything using TWRP and it is in internal storage. So I don't have to worry.

The only problem remains, my apps. Had to Install them everytime I update my OS.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Patience is going to be a virtue

The Le 2 does support OTG, so I for one would delay gratification until I got hold of an adapter, just to be safe. :( The updater has thus far left everything else on my device(s) untouched and completely intact. The only way I could see losing apps is if the zip file were to be flashed completely and separately, as if it were a clean install, rather than going through the updater. But better to be safe than sorry.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] isar998:
While doing a titanium backup, it says, "Sorry I could not acquire root privileges. This application will not work. Please verify that your ROM is rooted, and try again.

This attempt was made using "su" command."

What do I do now?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] shimomiaizo:
I downloaded the update .zip through the LOS "update" in the Settings and did found the package in the directory you mentioned. Sadly TWRP said the package is broken. Have no idea what happened. Anyway, thank you very much for providing the directory.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
You need to install the su / root add-on for Lineage. Check their site for the appropriate download. Back in the CM days, root was simply a built-in "developer settings" toggle but for whatever reason, you will need to perform this one extra step, one time only. Once you use the Lineage super user add-on it should survive all future updates. Can't speak for other rooting options.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Well, for starters try to download the update again. Not totally surprising for extremely active servers to once in a great while deliver an imperfect file.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] isar998:
Wow! That was spot on! I didn't know about this! Thanks a lot bro!!

Few things to mention.

To update my OS with the latest LineageOS release, I have downloaded the latest zip. I didn't wipe anything (Dalvik, cache, system data etc.). Just flashed the zip via TWRP and Done.

Is it a correct way to update my OS? Are there any side effects of updating this way?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Assuming your TWRP build is up to date, just let the Lineage Updater do it for you. There appear to be a few devices that might not automatically process the update script, but the vast majority seem to updating just fine. Good Luck.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] sandyhuster:
I have a slightly trickier problem. I flashed Lineage OS using TWRP and it all went fine and I could setup my Oneplus One. It showed me the latest Nightly update (Lineage OS 14.1 - 10 April 2017) available for download. I tried updating (the auto process) and it went through. But after restarting my phone, if I go into tho OS updates screen, the same update still shows up. The LineageOS version is 14.1-20170410-NIGHTLY-bacon. I tried updating manually once, by going into TWRP and flashing. It goes through, but the update still shows up on the OS updates screen.

Is this expected - the old updates continue to show up (and prompt to install) or is this an issue that has a fix?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] witekkowal:
Did you try to click refresh button on the Update Screen?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
The downloaded file is probably going to stay there until you manually remove it. At least, it works that way on the device(s) I am using. While some folks might consider that to be bad housekeeping, it leaves the you in control rather than trying (and failing) to do your thinking for you. Touch and hold the item (not the update button) and you should get a prompt to delete it if you choose. Presumably, someone could decide to uninstall an update and re-do a previous one or perhaps an update might need to be re-installed for some reason? Personally, I don't mind the extra step, since it takes a lot less time than downloading the file again if I ever needed it.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] sandyhuster:
Thanks, I just figured that out sometime back. It so happened that I got another update dated today (24th April). And while updating my fone to this version, all went well, but I saw both these updates staying on. So just while trying things out, I figured the delete prompt and found that the update doesn't show up now, even if I 'Refresh'. Problem solved.

But found this update quite quick in the coming, given that it was only 2 weeks (exactly!) since the last update. Can we find out what all is covered in the update so we can choose whether to update or not?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Well, back in the CM days they were called "nightly" builds (and if the folks at Lineage now wanted to more realistically call them "weekly" I don't think too many people would complain) and eventually they morphed into presumably stable "Releases" but the closest you are likely to get is to interrogate the "Changelog" for the build. If you speak Gerrit and all those other related dialects of Linux / Android developer speak it isn't that daunting a task, but for everyone else: things that work rarely get broken in the next update, and things that didn't work seem to get fixed, one glitch at a time perhaps, but fixed eventually. I have great appreciation for people willing to devote as much time to this project as they do, so I guess starting this forum was kind of my personal attempt to try and do something useful while not presuming my programming skills are up to the task of helping to write code (I am quite "old school" in that domain). Don't think much Android system development takes place in COBOL or PL/I :D

Yeah I'm an unlucky one that had major difficulties updating. Running a nexus 6 here. Maybe others have had this problem. Had to go through a hell of a process to get my phone usable again after trying to update. Here is my journey.

Rooted, installed TWRP 3.0.2-0, flashed the 4/28 LOS. Went seamlessly (I have never done this before, so I was stoked. I know this is old hat for you guys so bear with me. Still super new to this world). Couple days go by no issues. Phone is faster and battery life significantly improved. Notice it's time for an update. I try the automatic updater. Here is where I almost had a heart attack.

Update downloads. Go to install. Reboots to TWRP and does nothing. After much digging I finally found a post telling me the directory to look in. Fimd the update and attempt to flash. Fails. Something about an MD5 check, MD5 not found, zip file is corrupt, can't install. So I try to just reboot the system. Nothing. Reboots to TWRP. Nothing I did would reboot the system normally. What I ended up doing (and this was a final desperate act that I had no idea would even work) was restoring my stock android 7.1.1 backup. That ended up getting my phone usable again. Once that was done, I manually downloaded the new nightly from the LOS website and manually did a clean flash of the new 5/5 build. Now battery life is absolutely horrendous, but I have the new LOS.

So, anyone else have such an experience? With the updating and now having incredibly bad battery life after a clean install?

P.S. whoever made the post about backups being your friend and not having too many probably saved my phone for me, so I am incredibly thankful for that bit of advice

I was offered two nightlies in automatic updater on my Samsung S5 901F. Strange since I never saw this notification before and now it offered me two different versions. For some reason I took the older one. Rebootet, device went in to TWRP due to some script and all seemed to went fine. I saw no note about that all was fine but I took some time and showed some progressing. Then it rebootet automatically and stayed in boot animation for an hour. I got 100x apps... Anyway then I booted into TWRP again (had to take out batt) and wiped Dalvik/Cache but boot animation seems endless still :(

What can I do? Just download latest Nightly and dirty flash it over the remains?

Or should I clean more than Dalvic/Cache?

FYI I had transformed some apps to system apps via Titanium Backup (like my VPNCilla) ! Does this interfere?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Assuming you've got the Motorola Nexus 6? In that case, you can update the TWRP to the 3.1.0-0 release. That fixed all of my update related issues on my LG 410 tablet so hopefully you shall have the same good luck. As for backups, yes, they have prevented more outbursts of profanity than I would care to mention :)
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Previously installed updates will of course still show up on your device settings until you purge them, but I assume that is not news to you.

Personally, I would always take the newer update since (at least I would assume) it includes whatever was in the older one. HOWEVER, I've been known to be wrong before, so I'd also take that advice at a value equal to what you are paying for it if I were you :cyclops:

If you have good backups - you mentioned Titanium - I'd clean install the latest LOS version and then put your other stuff back over it. The transformed to System apps MAY be having an effect on this but I'd have to ask WHY that is necessary since you otherwise do have total control over what goes on and off the thing, no? I must admit that if you are routinely turning OFF root permission and want to prevent accidental erasures it is a really neat approach, but other than that ..... Good Luck and keep us posted.

OTA - Update - Galaxy S5 VZ

So I've installed the OTA file, but then the OS keeps prompting again to update but to the same file. (March 22) Anyone else also seeing this? I've updated it a second time and still prompts. I've only been on Lineage since February so not exactly sure if this is normal or not. Tis why I ask.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nezlek:
Are you set to automatically or manually retrieve the update files? I prefer manual myself, in which case you need to refresh the screen (upper right hand corner) to see that a new update file will be available for download. You also need to manually delete update files you no longer wish to keep - which I think is a good design decision. I always keep the last one I've updated with until the next update is available.

I could boot into LineageOS again after I also reinstalled GAPS (I installed the newest version that was two weeks fhresher that the one that was installed when I tried the OTA update. And GAPS information says that the install scripts take care for cleaning old/older rests so it seems to be always fine to install a new GAPS - you might have to wipe DALVIK). I also reinstalled SU "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519" at the same time. So I do not know what did the trick!

Anyhow, one of the two zip packages or both were actually needed to make my Android boot again. And this time into the updated LineAgeOS :)

So, all is fine. Thanks for the great mod!

PS:

My Android Samsung S5 G910f gets constantly warm now and I must take a closer look how this goes. Maybe I have to clean install.
