Any suggestion?

PS. Sorry, after several reloads, it is not clear at what point the camera started working.

PPS. and ... doesn't work again. For a while, all applications using the camera successfully opened it. During the operation of the Open camera, the phone wrote Shutdown and went out. After the camera does not work. The original application is not displayed in the menu. Clearing the cache didn't change anything. Camera is not working.

[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mattdpollard:
Hi, on moving from 17.1 to 18.1, following exactly the official instructions for upgrade, I had a similar issue to what is described above. Came to the PIN enter page and it would not accept the PIN. Eventually I had to reinstall from scratch.

This week I installed the weekly update on Monday using the Updater app in LOS 18.1 official. When the phone rebooted, it went to the screen to enter the PIN. It accepted my PIN and said it was starting android but then it went back into the boot animation again for a long time and eventually failed producing the message in the LOS recovery, "if this keeps happening you may need to wipe phone". Indeed it kept happening and I had to wipe the phone and manually install from scratch. I had a seedvault backup this time so restored from that during the "set up" process after the wipe and reinstall (but so much is left out of the Seedvault backup, it was a lot of work).

For future updates, is it safer to install them manually? Even if it is less convenient, I would probably go that route in future if it reduced the risk of a bootloop.

Many thanks!

hello,

I have downloaded today's update, but when i proceeded to install, i got the error in the recovery:

E:Error opening trace file: no such file or directory (2)

E:Failed to read /cache/recovery/block.map: No such file or directory

I did exactly the same thing as usual- downloaded the update and used LineageOS recovery to install.

Not sure whats wrong this time.

I did manage to restart and still using the phone as normal

Any advice?

Edit: i forgot to mention that i was doing that without connecting to PC, i was only using my phone and it was working great until today.

[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mattdpollard:
It's updated weekly so hardly abandoned, I think!

As far as I understand, once it went official, bugs were to be reported on gitlab, not in this thread. https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues?scope=all&state=opened

This is what we are told to do in the first post in this thread.

So the ROM is active but this thread isn't the main place to raise issues.

I don't know if anyone has raised the OTA update issue in the official bug reporting system, I hadn't until now as it isn't an urgent issue for me. But if you want it fixed as far as I understand that is the place to report it, so I have just reported it as an issue there.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jaysonwcs:

Hi Jarl,

Montana does not support VoLTE with "vi" carrier, Every time call comes devices switches to 3g instead of taking volte call.

[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
Thanks to all of you for reporting the issue. It's now been identified and fixed. You'll still have to sideload the next build but updates after that should flash OTA fine.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Hausemaster:
Thank you! Just curious, what was the core reason of the issue?
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
It was a problem with the F2FS driver.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] newinnov:
@JarlPenguin Anything can be done for VoLte too? Or is it not working just for me.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Hausemaster:
I don't think vi supports VoLTE because it always switches to 3G during calls even with the option enabled but calls in jio work, this is an indication that VoLTE is fine in this rom because jio calls won't work without VoLTE...
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rpcll:
@JarlPenguin Are people still working on TWRP support for this rom?
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
No, and I do not plan to support it for LineageOS 18.1 and onwards.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rpcll:
Any reason for that? TWRP backups, File manager and the Terminal are very useful.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
It's not worth it. Decryption with PIN/pattern as method doesn't work with Android 11+ due to some changes that Google has made. Our recovery partition is too small to hold any version of TWRP past the Nougat-based version, so we can't fix that either.

Also, the average user won't have a need to use the file manager or terminal inside recovery, and backups can be done using LineageOS' built-in Seedvault app and using dd for special partitions (persist and EFS). If they do need to use a terminal inside recovery, they can always use ADB.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rpcll:
I'm kind of afraid of messing up the upgrade from 17.1 to 18.1 and losing data.

So if i do a TWRP backup now, then switch to lineageos recovery and flash the 18.1 zip and sth goes wrong, how do I go back? can i reflash the old twrp and restore my backup?
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
You can, but there is no guarantee that the data restore will go as intended, I recommend backing up important apps separately using Seedvault or another app like Migrate.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rpcll:
So my phone is currently encrypted (have to enter my pin at boot), what happens when i switch to lineage recovery then?
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
Nothing? LineageOS recovery does not support decryption anyways.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rpcll:
Nothing as in I cant access the partition or nothing as in the recovery doesn't handle the encryption at all and im fine?

Sorry for asking so much just trying not to make any mistakes
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
You can't access the partition in recovery mode. The upgrade process itself doesn't touch the /data partition aside from the first boot.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] rpcll:
Sounds good. I'll wait for the next release and then do the upgrade. Thanks
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mattdpollard:
I don't recall the details, but I think it was when I first switched from 17.1 lineage with TWRP, to 18.1 with Lineage recovery, that the phone would restart to the PIN entry screen but would not accept my PIN. In the end after trying various workarounds found online, I had to wipe the phone and start from zero. I seem to recall others having a similar issue, maybe discussed earlier in this thread. So definitely back up as much as you can preferably manually to be sure (seedvault unfortunately excludes a lot for me at least), and I think somewhere I saw someone suggest removing the PIN and fingerprint lock before you do the upgrade, but then someone earlier in this chain seems to say they had the same issue even having done that.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
That issue was fixed in a recent build, so it shouldn't happen anymore (at least according to the user who was affected, it was fixed)
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] mattdpollard:
Ah ok that's great, thanks!
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] newinnov:
You are mistaken then, Vi supports VoLte!! It works fine with other devices.

So I think some problem with rom's carrier configuration.

Btw you are advertising a bug as feature :unsure:
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Hausemaster:
Sorry about advertising a bug as a feature...

It might be true that there's a problem with the roms carrier config, also, I didn't know that Vi supports VoLTE because I never saw 4G during calls on the roms I used, i.e,stock rom, pixel experience pie and now lineage os 18, I'll try and see if I can get VoLTE working on another device...
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Hausemaster:
You are right, VoLTE is broken in this rom, I tried vi on another device, and VoLTE worked without problems, and also, jio calls don't work at all, when I tested jio I put it in the second slot and the call ended up going through vi, after testing with jio as the only son in slot 1, I can also confirm that VoLTE is broken in this rom, and as confirmation, the ims status in * # * # 4636 # * # * says that ims is unregistered and VoLTE along with other things is unavailable...
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Hausemaster:
@JarlPenguin please try figuring out what might be causing ims to be unregistered, also, the VoLTE option does appear in settings along with wifi calling and carrier video calling,but enabling them doesn't do anything...
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JarlPenguin:
I don't have the issue here, so it's an issue on your end. Your carrier might not support VoLTE on montana, or your EFS/persist could be partially messed up. At any rate I can't do anything about it.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Hausemaster:
Is there something that can be done to the efs or persist partition that would possibly fix this behaviour?

And also I tried different carriers and all of them were the same...

Edit: I never touched the efs partition myself, all I do for installing custom roms is to wipe the system, cache and data partition, so, I'm not quite sure what to do now, is there anything you could suggest that would possibly fix this issue...
