I can't seem to install new updates through OTA. Today I decided on installing the april 10 update since my prior version didn't have the april 5 security patch. I have no TWRP installed, but I have magisk and opengapps(full) installed. I was on slot B and after the installing of the new update is done, i then proceeded to install magisk over the new update, in this case slot A. I then rebooted the device and the lineage OS logo shows up and then the device asked me to enter my pin code for the secure startup. The lineage logo reappeared and after a minute the device rebooted with a black screen flashing on and off at an interval. I rebooted the device many times and it still shows the same black screen.

I then speculated that it was trying to boot into recovery, which obviously has none. So I tested this out by installing twrp installer by cosmicdan and rebooted to system. It showed the same process of events as when I initially booted the device after the update, lineage logo, secure startup, lineage logo again then reboot. Then after the reboot it booted to twrp which I installed. I tried rebooting to system again via twrp and still the same. Also, my pc can't transfer files from or to my phone, it doesn't detect my phone in the file explorer.

So I decided I'll just dirty flash the downloaded update. From the custom twrp variant the OP gave, I go to advanced>file manager then copied the update from /data/lineageos_updates/ to my sdcard, wiped the system partition in both slot a and b, installed the latest lineage os update and gapps without magisk and now the phone is updated and working fine. Were there steps I missed for OTA update?

tl;dr: OTA didn't work for me
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flex1911:
tl;dr: that's because of Magisk. Either try to not reinstall it manually in the other slot (that's unnecessary, as backuptool should handle restoring magisk automatically), or don't use it at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fdc77:
Hi, most probably it is caused by opengapps full package better stay on nano package.

I use ota with magisk since official and it works every time without any problems. I don't reinstall anything, it just works ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flex1911:
well, it just works because you don't reinstall anything :cyclops:

Thx man, I wasn't able to boot into twrp :/ my PC didn't recognized my phone so I panicked and I flash the stock room ? the lineage rom works great, better than stock imo, but I couldnt use one of my bank apps because of magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] deimidis:
I'm using March 30th ROM (Magisk and nano gapps). OTA update didn't work, but I know there's something with Magisk. My problem is that I can't install newer ROMs via Recovery, all of them gave me an error. All those images are downloaded from Lineage website. Error said: Updater process ended with ERROR: 1, but nothing else. I saw that the most recent ones are slightly smaller than the one that works for me.

My current process is:

Start iin fastboot mode with modified recovery (the one created by flex)

Wipe system

Install image (and here it's when error appear)

Is that error for Magisk? Is there any way to have Magisk working and update system (even with recovery)?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] leofwg:
image? you mean the zip file, right?

my steps

1- boot recovery via fastboot

2- format data / wipes

3-flash rom

4- reboot recovery

5- flash gaaps and magisk

6- reboot system
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] deimidis:
Yes, I'm using zip file from lineage page.

My last attempt, installed April 7th and reboot to system and works (with Google eerors because I didn't installed open-gapps). Reboot on recovery again and installed open-gapps and magisk, and went to boot loop again.

Now I'm trying intalling only open-gapps. I can live without Magisk if that is causing all the trouble

My Notification Issues continued. Yesterday i got 2 Whatsapp Messages in a 2 Minutes. 2 hat Full Notifications (Light, sound and Vibration) and the 3rd only had Vibration without sound or the Notification LED. Later that day a message arrived without any Notification... It went completely under the Radar.

This is really baffling....
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jackspeed:
I found that it recognizes the SIM without entering a PIN after leaving flight mode, if I uncheck the setting security -> SIM security -> "SIM PIN necessary to enter" beforehand. But that is not what I want, since it removes the PIN completely.

But it suggests it is something about the hook for the PIN enter panel.

BTW, this seems to be independent of the modem, because I flashed the ones from February and March from here without any change.

Is the lineage recovery problem solved in the latest update?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fdc77:
yes
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rexendz:
tried to use ota again without restoring stock boot or installing magisk to inactive slot. I proceeded to update just as you would on stock rom without doing anything else. After the update it showed me the lineage recovery with a message that says cannot start android system, and there were two buttons: Factory reset and Try again. The error message was cut off as it does not fit the resolution of the phone. I pressed try again, nothing new happened. I don't want to try the factory reset as im not sure if I will lose data or not. I am using nano gapps and magisk. Meanwhile ill just dirty flash the update for now. I will try ota without magisk installed the next nightly update. Don't get me wrong, I really like this rom, I use this as my daily driver and I am not complaining about anything at all, just reporting my experience.

Thanks guys!

While building image I got problem in extracting proprietary blobs from LineageOS zip files.

There are neither system.transfer.list and system.new.dat nor system folder in the

installable lineage-zip for extracting.

For me content of lineage-zip is the following:

payload.properties.txt

payload.bin

care_map.txt

META-INF

Instruction in lineage build wiki doesnt work any way.

Some help, please.

Any chance to do a release like the unofficial version, which can be installed via twrp?

It will help us to try lineage time after time. Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flex1911:
That doesn't make much sense to me, to be honest.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] albsat:
You are right in saying that. I will try to explain.

I don't have a pc around and I like to try roms. I prefer a lot lineage and used a lot the unofficial version with twrp . But since the new format I can't try new roms as I need to fastboot via PC.

Hope that makes sense.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Arief Darmawan:
The problem is u don't have a PC, not the rom itself right?

Finally got down to upgrading to the latest version of lineage.

I've been using an old December version prior and I used to have the Lagos live wallpaper. It was working fine on the old build, but in the newest build it lags like hell!

I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. I find it quite weird, since the UI feels much snappier in any other situation!!

Just a curiousity, really.

Love! ♥️

Question about updating with opengapps.

Hello. I wanted to ask, if I make clean install of this rom with official gapps, will gapps be saved after update? Or I must manual reflash each time I update? And can I disable apps like calendar, gallery to use instead google calendar and google photos? Just not to have lots of apps that I won't really use. If anyone on lineage and have time, can you please make list of buildin lineage apps that is possible to disable. Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] flex1911:
1. Yes, gapps get preserved with OTAs, you don't have to reflash anything.

2. Yes, you can disable most built-in apps and replace them with Google variants. The only app I wouldn't recommend disabling is the stock dialer, as you may get emergency call issues without it. You still can install Google's dialer and make it default, just do not disable the stock one.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] livemordor:
Oh thanks you very much for help! This really helps and now I am sure fully that can install this rom.

Update on my problem, I tried connecting to Wi-Fi and I observed high data usage by Google Play Services again. Then I got this notification (see screenshot). I think it's trying to download a system update? Any ideas on how to stop this?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] autorage:
Good to hear!

Have you changed anything to make it work?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] eberhardweber:
Not a thing! I changed from official 15.1 to official 16.0 about as soon as it became officially available. I had a string of successful updates before the 31st of March and the 2nd of April bootlooped my device after restart. I simply re-flashed the previous day together with gapps and Magisk and successfully recovered functionality, but figured I should wait a few weeks to try an OTA again. Went fine yesterday!

Notification Issues - Update

I tried a few things and i think i narrowed the problem to Xiaomi.

- I had Notification Issues under LOS 16.0

- Reverted Back to Stock Pie and the Issues where still Present

- Downgraded to 8.1 and installed LOS 15.1 and the Issues seem to have vanished

So LOS 16.0 and Stock Pie (March Update) have the same issues for me with Notifications.

Could be because you didn't update your firmware to Pie.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pythoner:
No. I used the unoffical Version where you hat to be on 10.0.3.0whatever. After that i used the transitional experimental build. When i ran into these issues Mord frequently with the official build i did a clean installiert with the official Version. I also kompletely restored my phone with Stock pie via fastboot and reinstalled los to get it AS clean AS possible. But it did not resolve the issue.

Autocorrect ist to blame for misstypes ;)

Talking about notifications - have you noticed, the setting for SMS notification ringtone is missing in LOS 16? In 15.1 it could be set under Messaging - Settings, now it is gone so SMS have the same sound as common notifications. Is there any (maybe hidden) way to set separate ringtones for SMS?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheewaca:
If you have an oreo efs backup to avoid imei problem, go to stock oreo firmware with mi flash tool (with clean all option selected) and update it to the last pie firmware by ota. Maybe it will solve the issue.

Could try a reset of network. Resets mobile, Bluetooth and wifi settings. Will lose any paired Bluetooth devices (sure that's not a problem at this point ) and lose saved WiFi connections. Will have to reconnect and save again

Sadly it did not help. Only going back to 8.1/LOS15.1 solved the issue reliably :(
[Xiaomi Mi A1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cheewaca:
Strange, try with clean install (all wipes & format data) without restore apps and data from google account or any other backup app.

Check it before install mods/modules if you are using them. Almost all problems of few users that you can see, almost all times are related with dirty flash and/or modules that users have installed.

As simple as disable system updates and playstore autoupdates and notifications if you want it too.

I don´t know what are you doing but i haven´t that issue... btw you can disable update apps/services from system apps, remove them through any root explorer or try to use microg instead of gapps. I always use pico version of gapps and i never have issues.

Just dont install Magisk or any kind of root and thats preety much it. Rom works normally without root.

Maybe you meant if this ROM passes Safetynet. Answer is yes, it does pass it (Even with Magisk)

Well, yesterday I missed 2 SMS because of the broken notifications. With the second one, there was no light and no sound alert. I recently updated from 15.1 official. I think this is clearly some bug in the ROM - it is unfortunate that this is one of the main functions of the device, to send/receive messages and make calls. At least now you know you are not alone.

That did the trick. And as if you knew what could happen next, reboot to system brought me back to recovery again and again, a.k.a recovery bootloop. Aaand this time I chose "fix bootloop recovery" option and it's back to system properly with working permanent twrp.

About this new changes. Even when they added F2FS support, is still broken, I tried to Format Data to F2FS to see what's happens and got freeze and force rebooted, that gives me a lot of problems sadly :silly:

Also, the bug with TWRP screen off (Since 31 March) using 4.9 Kernel is still there. But at least the ramdisk flasher is working as should be :victory:

Sadly, no PC to take logs (If you need thems), but at least, ramdisk installer option is a big step for A/B devices.
