[LG V20 Questions & Answers] twidledee:
I dumdumd. I've gotten myself into a jam with my Elsa H918. I installed lineage OS and that went just fine. I'm don't know the exact way to flash anything so I'm just going for it. (I'M the the type that learns more from mistakes than success') So I thinking pre dsl days 56k dialup killing virus' then reinstall all after writing zeros to hard drive....Anyways..

I'm in twrp recovery after flashing Gaps... I see all these buttons and I'm like what does this button do, right? Lol. So I get to wiping and resizing and formating and got all partitons to format and resize into fat32 on ext4 except the dalvik/art partition. It just would not format. So I do the math of all the partitions. I'm like I'm 7,275mb short thinking that hmmm that can't be good for a cache to have almost 7.5 gigs of data. I'll back up a bit....

So when I started with the complete Lineage OS 7.1.1 install I messed up and just picked the gaps kernel that was in my downloads folder from lineage OS and just flashed it.

I was then in a loop. So I get back to recovery twrp and set about wiping to do the Lineage OS clean install this time with no traces of Nougat.

I write all the partitions and the numbers before I start using TWRP

Partiton Size....

Dalvik/Art invalid

System Size 0 mb

Data 52,528 mb

Internal Storage invalid

Cache 1,193 mb

I started converting and changing the file system.

Fat32

Dalvik failed invalid partion

System success ext4

Data success ext4

Internal storage failed invalid partition

Cache success ext4

Resizing

Dalvk/Art failed

System success

Data success

Internal storage failed

Cache success

Partiton resize on fat32

system from 0mb to 5,416mb

Data from 52,528mb to 55,528mb.

Cache 1,193mb which stayed the same.

Dalvik/Art invalid

Internal invalid

5,416mb+55,528mb+1,193mb=62,137mb

60.680gigs of accountable space.....

But..... this is most likely where my obsession kicked in+distracted=dumdumd

At the I ran the math I was multitasking reading, research, text messages, trying to use Google play store on a new fresh unused Google account with my new v20 rooted with a new Lineage OS 14.1 Android v7.1.1 (Google is being very difficult letting me onto the damn playstore- it would not see/recognize my device after I've already logged into gmail,accounts,google,Plus,Drive)

I came up with thinking of was 7,275mb short because

If 0 mb being used by system, data was using 52,528mb, and cache was using 1,193mb then I'm missing 6,279mb out of 58,900mb

Obsessed with Dalvik/Art cache might be an old Nougat OS partition I set about trying to format and resize it in. holding out on my 6 gigs

DALVIK CACHE----

Wipe success

Fat32 format failed

F2fs formating

and it formated for over 70minutes

the last 20minuts I tried keeping Elsa cooled down waiting a finalize on the format....... 90 minutes total

I finally pulled the battery due to no progressive data and the core temp (hothot)

I've gottwn recovery only once since last night TWRP but it was just the wallpaper state.

SO... I currently the phone with give me the Imei information with up volume+power numerously.

Volume down+power only once.

Power button

Quick .001 second flash of the LG Android gif

Then the orange boot warning for 4 seconds followed by the LG wallpaper

And that's it
