Hi, this steps seams to be right, so the problem can be in therory in TWRP itself, try form the first step and reflash the modpunk's TWRP

1. Download modpunk's TWRP again from TWRP link thread in post #1, there download vbmeta_disabled as well

2. unpack TWRP image and vbmeta_disabled, rename TWRP image in recovery.img and vbmeta_disabled in vbmeta.img

3. Pack with tar both files in one archive, flash it for example with odin as AP file without autoreboot option

4. Reboot an press key kombo to get in twrp, format data

5. Reboot again in twrp and flash lineage os, wipe Dalvik, cache, and data.

Should work, maybe you flashed modpunk's TWRP as zip form another TWRP, or the image was damaged, or it was just accident and the bad moonphase =)))

BTW...for everybody

If you are trying to stick up to Lineage OS, but the appearence of stock LOS apps stopps you to make it your daily driver, this is post for you.

I personnaly don't like that stock LOS apps do not have dark theme, what is more pleasant for eyes, so i looked throu F-Droid and found some apps that are more customizable.

Simple Mobile Tools have a simple customisation of background, font, app accent and icon colours, so you can ajust it as you like.

Simple Dialer - dialer app

Simple Contacts - contacts app

Simple Callendar - callendar app

Simple Clock - clock app

Simple File Manager/Material Files - File app

Simple SMS Messenger/Silence - SMS app

Simple Gallery - gallery app

AnySoftKeyboard - one of the most customizable keyboards

K-9 Mail/Fair Email - email app

Fennec with Dark Reader plugin - internet browser

Frost/MaterialFBook - facebook wrapper

KeepassDX - password manager and autofill

NewPipe - Youtube wrapper

Open Camera - camera app with wide angle support

OsmAnd+ - mapps and navigation

Telegram - telegram app

Music Lightweight and material music player

If you would like to have synchronisation of your photos, contacts, calendar and so on you can build your own Nextcloud server, today it is really easy if you dont mind to spent some money for a lifetime own server

You can by micro PC, install there any Linux distro, i prefere Debian/Ubuntu and with some simple commands install and configure nextcloud (look for nextclou snap) and get all nessesary features,or if you are experienced user, you can install it manually, so you will get absolute control of all settings of your server.

Then you can use such apps like

Nextcloud - sync photos and files, auto uppload photos.

Nextcloud notes - notes app with syncronisation

DAVx5 - Sync your contacts, tasks, calendars

There are more apps for nextcloud but i don't use them.

Of cource you can install almost any app you need from Aurora Store, but less apps with google built in you have, less info you are sharing) Btw. every app on play store must have piece of google code to be submitted to store, keep it in mind!)

At the end i would like to sum up.

+ privacy (it is not critical at the moment, mostly our infomation is used for maketing purposes, but we do not know how this all info can be used in 1/5/10 years. Just search how it is used in some countries.....)

+ battery life with less unnesesary apps and services

+ better control over device (you can turn lot of things off and it really will be turned off)

+ more people are in open-source community = more chances it will develop faster (if you like some FOSS apps or ROMs, support the developer ;) )

- some apps won't work (ex. some banking apps, most of google apps like Gmail, Gmaps)

- camera experience will be definitly worse. with open camera you can use only one camera at the same time (eather main or wide angle). On some devices you can work aroung with GCam mods, or flash manufacturer proprietary framework, but it is not the best choice...

- phone performance can be worse, becouse manufacturers maximaly ajusting OS for the device, and a big group of developers working on it, a few developers of LOS can not compete with it at the moment.

- no Google/Samsung pay (i still think it is not nessesary to bind everything on your phone, credit cards are not so huge XD)

Surely i missed some things, buh i hope this can help somebody to make your LOS look better or to understand if it worth to install it or not.

At the moment testing SOT on S10+ on this rom with some grafical benchmark test, after it i'll test S10e and report both SOTs

(my previos post about runnign Gendalf video on NewPipe dosn't show the real SOT time, becouse newpipe and that video are using very few resources of the phone)
