Now it's my turn to give up. Kurt, I am speaking of the screenshot you get when you check for updates. Then download, after which it shows an install prompt. I get the warning about needing a custom recovery installed, from which I proceed. When TWRP comes up I check my sd card and my internal storage (I have looked under all file headers especially downloads) and the update file is not to be found.

That's when I download the nightly by going to the lineage update download page for my device and then proceed. Sorry, I could have been more clear with my explanation.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
No reason to give up.

Do instead go to the terminal window and please report here what you see.

If you have installed official lineageOS and a compatible TWRP, you should not be able to do any interaction in TWRP. The update processes should run automatically.

Hi All,

I've a moto G4 with TWRP & Leneage OS, I've downloaded 2 nightly updates but got an error message (impossible to reboot in specific mode - forgot the exact term).

I've found on Internet that we can do it manually through TWRP, and the update files are located here: /data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates.

I've found this folder but it's empty... And I do not really understand why..

Someone as an explanation & where I can find those updates?

Thx

Nicolas

u can download it from their website then transfer it to a phone and update .
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I've just updated my moto E. Like always OK. I think up-to-date TWRP is important. Screenshot of error message would be helpful.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nicollivier:
In fact my question was related to the fact that I did not find any update files into the folder mentioned, which is not really an error, so no screenshot to add.

Now I've just tested again to download the latest updates, & no update found. The version installs is the nightly from 12 June.

So no updates found can explain why I did not find any files into the folder.

Now don't really understand why the last update is not found after the check.

as there is no bug, I'm not in the rush to install it. I'll check tomorrow.

Thanks IronRoo.

After some time searching for any "migration tool", I was better off just wiping and flashing onto the official stream.

As soon as I wrote down OKESY in my note above, I had a sinking feeling in my gut. :fingers-crossed:

Just restoring the apps right now.

NOTE: I just listened to the All About Android podcast (ep. 323, June 20, 2017) with Steve Zimmerman of XDA, and I thought I would reiterate the app he mentioned called "XDA Feed" for your own device. :good:

Cheers!

Hi All,

So I still do find any update through the menu.

I went to this website (https://download.lineageos.org/athene) to download the latest update & install it manually. However I'm surprised to see that the latest one id dated from 22nd May.

1. is it the latest one?

2. if not, what is the right place to download it?

Thx

Noob question - currently on 05242017 lineageos nightly and want to update. Can I go from 05242017 to the newest or do I need to do them incrementally (update the one after 05242017, then the next, & the next, etc)? FWIW my g apps have been kept up-to-date through the play store. I currently am not experiencing issues but would rather keep up-to-date for security purposes.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
No step by step by step update necessary. You can go to the latest. Incremental normally means only differences are downloaded and installed. This is not available in LOS updater. No need to update Gapps.

OP 3 / Galaxy S5

So on both phones theres the most recent nightly downloaded. As they're encrypted I need to enter the password before updating.

> Enter password

> Decrypt successfull

> Home-screen of recovery

So probably the script stopped... well, let me install it manually via data/data/org.lineageos.updater.xyz/app_updates/

> Installing zip file '/data/data/org.lineageos.updater....bla bla'

> checking for md5, not found, skipping

> verifying zip signature

> zip signature verification failed!

> error installing zip file

> updating partition details

> done

So, the zip file doesnt install and the update isn't done properly. Anybody a way to update another way?

Good to know. I'll better not encrypt.

Hi, I would like to update LOS but my phone reboot in stock recovery and the installation failed…

How can i force my phone to reboot in twrp recovery ?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Is there really a phone with dual recoveries? For all my phones I had to flash a recovery.IMG via computer (fastboot or heimdall). This replaced stock recovery with twrp.

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 wasn't sure if you were looking for it but, this change is important to know.

Good Luck!

What the exact steps to update my Lineage Os version?

I have xiaomi mi5 and and I want to update my currentLineageos version to the most updated version that appear now.

What the exact steps to to this?

I can't find any tutorial on web that explain that.

Thanks!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Required: official lineageos and up-to-date twrp.

Settings > about phone > lineages updates

Tap circle arrow to check for updates

There will be a list with available updates. Tap the icon at the right of one to download. After download the icon changes. Tap it again to install. Confirm and relax.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kfir_frr:
Thanks,

But what are next steps I need to do?

i have official lineageos (LOS14) and up-to-date twrp.

After I downloaded the file the there a messege that the phone is about to update and the TWARP will automatically loaded.

But now on TWARP what should I need to do? what are the steps?

I tryed to tap on install and go to the right file by this path: /data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates

After I click on it and swipe to start an Error 7 appear on TWARP screen (I attached a screenshot)

Thanks!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
On twrp you do nothing. The automatic update failed with error 7. You can google for solutions. Worst cases you will have to do a clean install. But be careful to have a known good zip file available. It is good practice to confirm md5 before wiping system.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Feitan21:
Same problem here (error 7). I searched on google, change updater-script and get the error : "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file"

Re-search on google and the only information that I got is dirty flash. But I don't know which image use. In the zip file I have only "boot.img", can I use this ?

Thank you, and sorry for all my dumb questions
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kfir_frr:
Ok,

So now the situation is that after I downloaded the update file and click on "Update",

The phone restart and automaticly open TWRP, but the update right away failed, and in the test I did, it faills on "Error 7".

On the first tome i install clean LinageOS and I saw this Error 7, I solve it by delete few rows from a guid I saw on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfKVzVQIPF4

But now I dont have accses to the updated file like before, it is diffrent file and folder

What can I do to solve this issue?

Thanks!

Wipe system, data and caches and flash a suitable ROM?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kfir_frr:
But I don't want every time I want to update the LineageOS version to wipe all and start all over again.

It seemed illogical to me.

Any more ideas?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I didn't say "every time". I said "worst case". If OTA updates fail after clean install, you should have a talk with your ROM's dev.

LineageOS Updates with CWM

Situation:

Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505)

LineageOS 14.1 Nightly Installed

CWM 6.0.4.7 Touch installed

Phone is rooted (root access for ADB and apps enabled).

When a LineageOS update is available, it is downloaded to a root folder:

/data/LineageOS_Updates

When I agree to install it, the phone boots into CWM recovery. And — Tada! — CWM can't access any root folder. No update possible.

When I copy the downloaded new nightly zip to another folder and try to install it via CWM (dirty flash without wiping data): Well, the phone boots, but all Google apps are somehow shredded.

Dirty flashing the appropriate GAPPS (ARM, 7.1) and SuperSU seems to remedy it.

From a Samsung tablet (Note 2014) with TWRP I know that TWRP recovery hasn't got any problems to access the above mentioned root folder. And does a working update without shredding GAPPS.

Is this a fundamental flaw in CWM? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm grateful for any hints.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I would replace cwm with twrp
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] G.Bigo:
Wise advice ...

However the latest TWRP version (3.1.1.0) indeed can be flashed (TWRP app from within Android or ODIN in download mode), but ... boots straight into download mode, not into recovery. :confused: :mad: :(

TWRP 3.0.2.0 (from April 2017) however works as expected. Engineering marvel.

But i cant install the latest security update because i got always an internal warning the update check failed etc.

How can i manually update ? which file and where to download ? i just want to install a new security update from 2018, i have lineage 14.1 - android version 7.1.2.

security patch november 6-2017
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Integrated updater works only with official. Download new zip from same dev flash in twrp wipe caches and reboot. This procedure is called dirty flash.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] hondekop:
But that sounds like the same way i did with my first lineage install? (clean install)

So i must then download all the apps i have installed again ???!?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
In clean flash you additionally wipe data. That's where your apps sit. In twrp you can make and restore backups.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] hondekop:
but making a backup will get my now installed version back so also the old security patch i guess?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Yes. Backup is for restoring old configuration in case something goes wrong.

Wih dirty flash not only your apps will survive. All your app data, settings, accounts home screen layout... That's what built in OTA updater in official LOS does every week.

HTC One M8 with Lineage 14.1 update process?

Hi - I have read through a bunch of these questions but can't seem to find the answer to my question so I am posting this.

I have been able to download updates onto my phone and when I click on the downloaded icon it reboots the phone to TWRP main menu. I am not sure if I need to hit 'Install' from that window or 'reboot'. I have hit reboot several times because I am afraid to hit install since I am not sure I need to do that...I thought the install of the update would happen automatically. I tried clicking on the Dec 14, 2017 update and if goes to TWRP but does not get removed from the update list. I clicked on the same Dec 14 download again and it goes to TWRP window again so I am not sure the update is being completed. Do I have to click on 'install' once in TWRP to complete the update install process?

Thanks for your help

Pete
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
In TWRP there should run a "open recovery script". That should install the update and reboot to system. Sounds like in your case the script didn't start, or stopped at some point. Look in the thread of your rom for the recommended TWRP and complications with update.

You can open a terminal like window in TWRP. Maybe there you can see at what stage the script stopped.

You can see in LOS settings "about phone" the installed version. Did it change with update? When not, go to TWRP and install it manually.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Nispero:
In my Samsung s4 mini, with lineageOS 14.1, I found the new zip file at: /data/lineageos_updates
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Yes that's the new location since a few months.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Lakesidepark:
Thanks for your reply. I think the script started in TWRP but I got the error "zip signature verification failed". I searched for that error and have seen lots of info about disabling zip verification, wiping the device etc. Should I try disabling zip verification?

The installed version is still the 14.1 version I installed Nov 23, 2017 so it looks like the updates did not get installed.

I have TWRP 3.3.1-0 . I tried updating TWRP using the play store but it did not seem to change to 3.2.1-0 so maybe it is not updated for HTC One M8

You don't need a twrp app. You need a recovery.IMG from twrp.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Lakesidepark:
I downloaded the latest twrp .img file and followed these instructions https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ and now the phone only goes into the fastboot screen. when I select reboot or power down the phone comes back onto the fastboot screen only. did I brick the phone? I have adb and fastboot on my PC running a cmd window to connect to the phone. a little distressed now

UPDATE - I used adb fastboot reboot and was able to get the phone to start up normally. Should I try running the built in lineage os updater again to see if gets past the zip file error in twrp?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Looking like too many errors. First make sure you really have the phone you think you have. Next go to twrp, make the default backup, go back to LOS and try update.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Lakesidepark:
You were correct - i had the wrong .img for twrp. Thanks for that. I successfully updated twrp to 3.2.1 and tried the LOS update again. Phone booted to twrp and script ran and I am getting the 'zip signature verification failed' error again as I was getting originally. Do I need to uncheck 'zip signature verification' in TWRP settings and try again?

Hey, I have a problem: I lost the settings and application after the update LineageOS ROM.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) smartphone with LineageOS 14.1 and I wanted to do a ROM update while maintaining the settings and installed applications.

I downloaded a new ROM: lineage-14.1-20181109-nightly-jfltexx-signed.zip and as in the instructions I placed it on the SD card. Then I turned on the phone in recovery mode TWRP (v.3.2.3-0) and chose Install. I've found the file: lineage-14.1-20181109-nightly-jfltexx-signed.zip and "Swipe to confirm Flash". After uploading, Wipe the cache, reebot device. I got a wizard on the screen to set up a new phone and select a Google account and after completing the phone, as if it was restored to the factory settings ;/

How do I update the ROM so that the new phone setup screen does not show, only old applications? do i need to backup and restore it ??
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Strange. The procedure you have written is OK for all ROM. For official lineageOS you additionally have the possibility to do it automated in settings/about phone/updates.

The symptoms you describe sound like you have by mistake done some factory reset or wipe data.

To be safe from such mistakes I do backups of system and data in twrp.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ...kuba...:
Ok. Thanks for answering. Because everything on the phone has already been removed, I have re-inserted ROM on LineageOS 14.1 but before that I changed the partition format / data and / cache to f2fs, is that a good idea? will this prevent me from updating to LineageOS 15.1/16? I have one more question about the SD card in the configuration "Set up your SD card" I set "Use as internal storage" is it a good idea? and after removing the card (ommit the files: music, photos, video) the applications will still work properly?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
F2fs: handle with care! Each ROM you flash you first have to check: does it support f2fs for all partitions you formatted?

Adopted storage: it's not meant to be removed. I prefer mobile storage.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ...kuba...:
Ok. I will pay attention to f2fs support, before installing rom. Did you mean to set the card to "Use as a portable storage" and use it as an external storage, or on "Use as internal storage" and not remove it from the phone? Sory, I did not understand.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I meant portable storage. That gives maximum flexibility.
