Did latest officials builds fix anything or future updates could fix something? I read changelog but nothing like the volume problem, or usb-c on PC charging only whe deactivating charging option. I'm kind of lost in this phone where things are discussed and trying to fix...never in my life I got this kind of problem on official builds and I buy this phone thinking more people would be interested :'c hope someone can guide.

Thank all of you

Does Camera work fully with this build? I flashed and now only front camera works, I find no option to switch to rear camera in built in or third party camera app.

Even weirder, default app appears to work correctly with front camera, but when I take picture and view it afterwards, it doesn't look correct at all (colors are all wrong). OpenCamera doesn't have any issues (but still only shows front camera).

Anyone having an issue with Lineage OS 17.1 and deep sleep? If I do a reboot, and don't launch anything, it will deep sleep; however, once I start using apps, it will never deep sleep again. I thought it must be something I installed, so I did a reset and didn't install anything except Better Battery Stats, Accubattery, and GApps pico. I got the same results. I had to take a trip this week, so I went back to January Stock. It is going into Deep Sleep just fine depending on my usage. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if there is a nightly I should avoid. Looking forward to getting back to Lineage OS now that I am back on Stock. Thanks!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] R2D2_SW:
I remember having that same issue with the phone never sleeping. That was on the 5/1 build, which is the last time I was on LOS. That, along with broken bluetooth aptx are the remaining issues that I know of. I see they updated the kernel on the latest build, so perhaps give that build a try and see if anything changed. Let me know what you find.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] kah0922:
Is bluetooth completely unusable for anyone else on the latest build or is it just me?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] BokeB:
it's definitely really bad. bluetooth crashes even when aptx is disabled. This worked in builds before. Don't know if other roms have this problems with bluetooth. But our mata seems not to get so much attention from its lineage maintainers.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gk1984:
That's why I moved on from LOS. None of my issues I filed a month or 2 ago have even been addressed.

Everything works on Paranoid Android. Everything!

I keep following the steps here: wiki.lineageos.org/devices/mata/install but I keep ending up with

"Cannot load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device"

All I want to do is to install gapps after sideloading lineage.

I do it on the 7th step:

6) Sideload the LineageOS .zip package:

On the device, select “Advanced”, “ADB Sideload”, then swipe to begin sideload.

On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload filename.zip

7) (Optionally): If you want to install any additional add-ons, repeat the sideload steps above for those packages in sequence.

What's going on?

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Owei1337:
I have a feeling that the audio routing is messed up. I think when activating the loudspeaker it switches to the microphone on the back of our phone and also sets the gain level very low. Couldn't find a solution yet. Is there someone who knows how to modify the audio routing? :confused:

Backup?

I am wanting to try out some different roms but ideally would like to be able to get back to my current state in LOS if/when I want. This was my first custom rom on the PH-1 so I'm not real experienced especially with the a/b slot stuff. On previous phones, I was able to create a complete image of each partition, but the LOS recovery does not seem to have that option. Is there any way to do it? Also, are there any good new ways of backing up / restoring apps to make changing roms easy? Is just using Google's backup/restore easiest? I did buy premium Titanium Backup in the past and liked it a lot but I haven't installed magisk on this rom so guessing I wouldn't be able to fully use it. And finally, sounds like to install TWRP, I need to go back to January stock. To do that from LOS, I can just follow the directions from the threads that have the Essential images? Sounds like the zips have a batch file you can run?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Watch out, depending on the file, it might wipe your data and your system which you don't seem to want.

The way I'd do this is to switch slots using Fastboot,

flash the January files to only the new slot

Flash twrp

Take a data only backup (don't decrypt) to a USB C hard drive

Then flash the rom you want to try only to the slot you're in,

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions as to how to perform these steps and why I'd perform them in the first place , I'll be sure to check back here if you do
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dwhite44:
I appreciate your help! I think I mostly understand. Is there an easy command to figure out the current slot so that you can switch to the other one? I don't have a USB C hard drive. Is there any other option? If I can't get a backup, it's not the end of the world just a nice to have if it's possible.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
When you boot to recovery, it shows you the current slot.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
My bad mate I forgot to check back, this link is a good reference for slot commands on the ph1

https://mata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

A few notes about this, if a "-" (dash) doesn't work in say set-active or current-slot, try using "_" (underscore)

So that would be set_active or current_slot

Also if that doesn't fix it for "fastboot set_active a"

Then try something like "fastboot set_active _a"

That might've just been a quirk with my version of Fastboot on Linux, or it might not, I haven't tested it to find out.

Also I'm assuming you've read the "flashall" scripts in the Fastboot zips you found, those have commands to flash to both slots which you'd want to change,

They also have a command to wipe userdata or some such towards the end which you'll want to remove

I am probably going to sound like a newb but is there a legit way to apply ota updates to this phone? I've been playing with los17 on this phone for a few months now and every time there is an ota I apply it to my phone and when it reboots it goes to recovery(los recovery) and only gives me the options to try again or wipe data.

I have found that if I reboot to bootloader and set active slot to other I can reboot back into los(still previous build) but a lot of my settings are lost.

I have followed some of the instructions using magisk and also from the los wiki for this device but none of them seem to work as expected.

I was able to apply the september 7th ota by sideloading it along with gapps and magisk with reboots inbetween. Each time I flashed a zip and rebooted to recovery the active slot had changed so I had to reboot back into bootloader and switch the active slot before going back to recovery to flash the next zip file.

According to the wiki the builtin updater is supposed to work but for me, this has never been the case.

Maybe I missed something in the instructions idk but if anyone can point my to some way to update without adb and fastboot it would be much appreciated.

Sidenote: I have never had twrp installed to the phone. Fastboot flashing seems to be sucessful but it never boots into twrp.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
I'm not having any trouble with otas, I have magisk installed too and no twrp.

I can't remember whether the rom zip includes the right vendor partitions for this device, maybe try Fastboot flashing the whole phone to stock and starting over?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goodrench:
Strange.... I've tried wiping both system partitions as well as flashing back to stock several times but nothing seems to be working in my favor.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Are you using F2FS or something along those lines? Maybe try flashing a different Fastboot image?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goodrench:
I've never changed file systems because of no twrp

I tried again this week with just the updater but got the bootloop. I ended up sideloading the update. I now can boot both slots with the most current release so I know both slots are functioning as they should right now. We'll see how it goes next week I guess
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Probably power consumption related? If I'm not wrong, most ROMs tend to leave kernel settings to their defaults and leave additional tuning up to the user.

Although, this does vary from device maintainer to device maintainer.

What is the procedure to do OTA update when having Magisk?

(I'm using LOS recovery)
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Everything works fine for me if I just update as normal
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
hmm...I thought bootloop will happen if I don't uninstall or disable Magisk before doing OTA update.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
That's what seems to be happening for everyone else, so I don't know tbh.

I just double checked mine and I've been getting otas just fine AND have magisk installed no problem
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
So when new OTA arrives, you just go ahead download, run update and don't do anything with Magisk?

I'm just tired of getting bootloop and have to reset the whole thing again.

Thanks.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Yup, that's all I do, magisk takes care of itself, the otas take care of themselves, just press update button and that's it. If you're getting bootloops it might be something on your end, but if you've already checked then I don't see why your phone is doing what it's doing.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goodrench:
If that happens again, reboot to bootloader and try switching slots and reboot.

For latest release LOS 17.1, when I enable double tap at home button to sleep, look like the "lift to wake" function doesn't work well.

After the phone goes into sleep (with double tap at home button), about 5 mins or more, I couldn't wake it up with shaking it anymore, I have to use either power button or finger print to wake it.

Does anyone see the same or just me?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
I faced the same issue with a different phone that has magisk installed. The way out there is to let the phone bootloop for a couple of minutes, then boot to recovery using the buttons combo (default recovery installed by lineage is fine), then choose "restart to system" from the recovery.

Works everytime for me!
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] chanh2018:
hmm...really!! I'll wait until next week for next release come out and see. Thanks, bro.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bschmidy10:
Interactive will net worse battery if you "use" the phone a lot, it priotitizes user input experience. For idle or other stuff I have seen zero difference. Overall on this device I don't see much difference in battery day to day, just the improved responsiveness with the switch

Another disaster with this week's ota. Got the bootloop from the los updater and had to set active slot back to other from fastboot. When the homescreen appeared it was set back to defaults (no icons).tried the magisk method for ota's and that didn't work either. Had to manually update the ota on both slots using sideload. Now I'm slowly customizing my homescreen back to the way it was last week. There has to be something I missed in the original install of Los or maybe I have a setting enabled that shouldn't be... Idk

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Is there anything besides magisk and Los you're using? Anything possibly interfering with the system partition?

Posting an ADB logcat of the bootloop may be helpful, my update went smoothly

OTA update is working, but very very slow. I don't know if because I have Magisk.

Just select update, download, and install, and that's it, after itself installation, I still have root with Magisk.

Btw, the 09/21 release drains battery A LOT, I'm not sure it's me or everyone. Need some feedbacks from ppl.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goodrench:
I've never done anything to the system partitions that I know of. I installed los, gapps and then magisk. No themes or anything other than that. When I do a manual update I install those three zips(to slot a and b) and that's all. After flashing to both slots I boot into each slot to confirm everything is working. Phone seems to be functioning fine other than the ota's. I'll try to get a logcat and post it when the next update comes. Or I might just wipe the phone and start from scratch before the next ota.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goodrench:
Also, I don't have magisk hidden. Not sure if that matters or not.

And I'm not sure if this setting should be enabled or not...
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] malerocks:
As far as I know, there is no need to install to both slots. The installation instructions simply say (simplified):

Boot to recovery. Wipe what needs to be wiped.

Flash LineageOS on the active slot

If you don't want anything else, boot to system. Else:

Reboot to recovery (without booting to system). Flash additional packages like gapps, magisk, etc.

Reboot to system

Perhaps its the manually flashing to both slots that is causing the problem.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
That theoretically should not cause an issue, and he's specified that he's only done that to manually update if the OTA fails.

As a sidenote, the steps he did, I did too to initially install LoS

I don't think it should but I do have magisk hidden so it's worth a shot, also I don't have twrp installed

No Fastboot or ADB LineageOS 17.1 Essential Phone

Hallo everybody,

I hope someone can help me, I am at my wits end. Fastboot does not see my phone in bootloader mode, after I flashed LineageOS. This is a great problem, because I wanted to flash magisk, but am now unable to do so.

Please can anybody tell me how to enable fastboot? Or tell me how to switch to slot b without fastboot or how I can flash stock firmeware without fastboot. ADB does not see the LineageOS Recovery even if ADB is enabled in the recovery, so sideloading does not work either. I realy are at a loss.

Thanks in Advance.

PS: Not even with lsusb can I see my phone anymore.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gavinfernandes2012:
Okay couple of things you could do to troubleshoot, firstly it would be useful to know whether the USB port and the USB cable you're using are USB 2 or USB 3.

I've personally found the best success with USB 2 cords/ports

Also are you using the official essential USB drivers for ADB and Fastboot? Either that or the up to date one's available in Linux work well iirc
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sndgsisnshs:
It turns out, it was a Lineageos problem of some sort, I think.

The option under developer options, standard usb configuration was set to no data transfer. After I changed that fastboot did find my phone.

But the problem, that I was unable to change the slot in the lineageos recovery persisted. Neither can I flash something from within the recovery nor can I flash twrp, after that lineageos doesn't boot. Sadly I have to switch to a different rom. Maybe if the recovery gets better or lineageos is usable with twrp, I might reconsider.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] goodrench:
I gave up on twrp and did everything I needed to do with los recovery.

I do wish they had a slot switcher of some sort in their recovery tho.
