T1mb3, thanks on all efforts. And thank you on reply! It is easy to follow your procedure once I figured out how these devices working - well I figured out enought to work with installing lineage. I am little bit more rusty. Ive heard for a slots for the first time now. lol. I have 2 sony compact devices - with lineage, only because windows 8.1 died. and I had 8.1 only because 6 died. hah...

So, after your explanation I successfully installed lineage on Nokia 4.2!!!

T H A N K YOU!!!

for those who will give a try I can add this:

- I had problems with unlocking bootloader - device was visible in adb mode, but once restarted fastoot didnt worked - check device manager in windows and if you see nokia 4.2 as other device just manually update driver with android adb device from list.

- once that worked well, everytime I start phone I see screen with warning that bootloader is unlocked. just wait for some seconds and it will disappear.

- once booted back to operating system check for enabled developer options and check does adb working. if it works reboot to fastboot with "adb reboot fastboot"

- with fastboot choose right slot for experiment: "fastboot getvar current-slot" shows current. mine was b so I changed to a with "fastboot set_active a"

- once set slot, flash boot with "fastboot flash boot_a boot-no-assert.img" where _a is slot you choose.

- reboot with "fastboot reboot"

- enter new boot and choose adb. with adb sideload zip "adb sideload 37a17a09b0b0d8ab0a3c398f373af4f0e1f067a1.zip". maybe there will be warnings but continue anyway. after some time and with step 2/2 check on computer did adb command finished. after finish restart nokia.

- i went directly to os, expecting that this is android from zip flile, on slot a. but then I checked and saw that active slot was again b and that android was mine.

- i went to fastboot again and set active slot to a again, tried to restart device and got message that operating system is corrupt. holding power button turns off device and i entered again bootloader with power button and vol down.

- then I decided to sideload lineage on same slot - a, who cares, hah, and sideloaded it after I wiped all data.

- restarted device and voila - lineage works!!!

maybe this will help someone who have nokia 4.2 and want to install lineage. time consumed is about one hour.

thanks T1mb3

Nice!

The issue you had in the end was that you only flashed the 37a17a09b0b0d8ab0a3c398f373af4f0e1f067a1.zip once to slot a. Now when you go install Lineage, it installs to slot b -> there's a mismatch. Therefore you should install the stock rom twice.

Thanks on new update!!!

1 yes, you are right. I noticed that lineage is on slot b. I didnt understood when you wrote mismatch - do you mean that I needed to flash zip twice on slot a, or once on slot a and once on slot b?

2 also, I do not know how to flash updated version of lineage: if I just sideload it on existing and working lineage on slot b should I wipe data on slot b before install or I can just install over existing version?

3 finally: I never used opengapps - I meant mindthegapps so I wanted to try - I was late: already installed lineage and booted into it. do you have idea what to do now.

thanks on great efforts T1mb3!!!
[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Deleted member 7280252:
1. Yes, you need to have the correct stock rom (vendor partition and firmware) version on both slots. Flashing it twice with a reboot back to recovery will do the job.

2. Download the zip, reboot to recovery and sideload normally. Data-partition does not have a/b slots, it's shared across both slots so no need to wipe it.

In your specific case, you will likely need to flash the stock rom once again to populate the vendor and firmware partitions, then Lineage update (both on the same slot).

3. Wipe data, flash Gapps, reboot. This makes you to start from the setup wizard.

I just tried it yesterday. Am I the only one whose nokia 4.2 constantly reboots after a minute or sth? Bc it seems like there are stability issues with the current build
[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ven316:
I have experienced no issues.
[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vladabgd:
2 days with lineage on nokia 4.2 and no single issue. all is working even notification led.

i had issues with gapps - even i tried to wipe data and reinstall clean lineage google kept returning and crashing system. so I ended with what I didnt do at first place - complete wipe and starting from step one - stock rom on both slots with whole procedure one by one. it was exhausting but all worked fine after.

even I have branded phone I tested it with sim card from another operator and device is sim free now.

at the end, thanks to Timb3 we have very nice debloated and degoogled device. and I thought that I will never take it in hands... brilliant work...

I tried installing MindTheGApps from the start a handful of times. I don't know why, but it's never worked. I then tried to install OpenGApps too, but that also didn't seem to work? I'm very confused.

I don't get any errors, so I don't know what's happening. They seem to install fine, but when I get into LineageOS, there's no google apps installed.

UPDATE: I figured it out. I didn't realize I had to reboot back into recovery after the lineage install.
[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Vellweb:
Wifi wont even turn on at all, I tap the quick button for it and it just turns itself off, I go into the settings themselves and switch it on, it turns itself off again.. so I guess wifi isn't causing system to crash now, but that's only because you cant even turn WiFi on at all

Tried to install latest lineage with latest recovery. but, i got error: its for PAN_sprout, and ends at 47%

update: sorry, little bit late. instead updated recoveries, I tried with old one - boot-no-assert.img and latest lineage rom. all worked well. this time I didnt installed google aps.

only thing I noticed is that usb storage is not visible for me. I mean it is not recognized...
[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Note: project is not dead. I'm very demotivated by the fact that Nokia doesn't care to release their up-to-date sources to make this official LineageOS. I have plans to bringup 19.0.
[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] vladabgd:
thanks on all efforts, timbe. even if you do not continue to work on lineage - spend energy time knowledge... I am thankful because I am using this device daily.

there is a millions of people not touching andorid because of google. and you saved and resurrected who knows how many 4.2s. thank you.

just to take opportunity to say that everything is working on my device. usb storage is visible, too, and I had problems with several otg adapters, so they were a reason why usb storage is not recognized.

[Nokia 4.2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Phenom2122:
Just want to report that I got this working on my TA-1150. It was a bit of a process because the issue with these devices is that when rebooting to recovery, there's a 50/50 chance that it's going to actually boot into recovery or you get a "no command" screen that doesn't respond to any input. My process was:

- Boot to fastboot. Install boot_no_assert to a (the currently loaded part)

- Reboot to recovery over and over until it actually boots properly, says it's booted to a, install March stock firmware.

- At this point it occured to me that if I wanted to flash the stock firmware to b as well, I would probably also need to flash boot_no_assert to b. So I rebooted to fastboot and did this.

- This time rebooting to recovery took even longer because I had to reboot over and over until it actually loaded into b. Manually switching it to b in fastboot didn't seem to make a difference here, it's like it's random. Eventually it booted recovery to b and I flashed the stock firmware a second time.

- Now I rebooted to fastboot and installed the Lineage recovery.

- Rebooted to the Lineage recovery. At this point, attempting to install the latest LineageOS 18.1 package resulted in the error "package is for PAN:sprout, expected panther".

- So I extracted the metadata file and changed the line "pre-device=PAN_sprout" to "pre-device=panther" and repacked. This time installing LineageOS worked.

- Rebooted to recovery again and installed OpenGapps Nano.

I'm new to the concept of a/b partitions and feel like maybe installing the no assert boot image to both a and b is the reason I had to change the metadata file. The last device I had that was capable of custom firmwares was the S4 Mini, in which case the only time I ever needed ADB or a computer was the first time I installed a custom recovery. So I could probably do with a better understanding of how this works now but I got it working at least.

Only two issues that I can report after a couple of days:

- The fingerprint scanner can now only unlock the device if the screen is already on. So have to press the unlock button first. On the stock firmware and previous device I had, the scanner would both wake and unlock the device. Honestly one of the nice things about a fingerprint scanner is that you can take your phone out of your pocket and have it unlocked by the time you're looking at it without pressing or swiping anything. So this kinda sucks.

- My mobile data doesn't seem to work correctly. Although I honestly couldn't tell you if this is my firmware install, mobile network or magisk / lsposed modules. I use wifi 90% of the time so I only noticed this issue today.

Other than that, everything working nicely and better than stock. Probably going to try LineageOS 19.1 soon though.
[iQOO 7] Neeraj.sharma:
Any solution?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] LauRoman:
I am testing 18.1 on an ancient phone (S4), before upgrading my main phone.

I used to add the option to boot to (custom) recovery to the power menu on earlier versions of LOS/CM and can't seem to be able to do that on 18.1.

Button combo (volume up + home + power) does not seem to work. I also can't find the setting in developer options.

Thankfully, on the first upgrade from 17 to 18 i also installed magisk and gapps, and it (magisk) has an option to boot to recovery.

But what do i do if i install lineage on a device i can't (or don't want to) install magisk on?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
The setting went from developer options to gestures
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] LauRoman:
Thank you so much. I was not able to find the information online. What i found involved using tasker or where the setting used to be. I must be getting old and/or impatient, google results getting crappier or some combination.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] helen2:
So this is my situation.I have an old note 4 (I like and use stock gallery) dont like to use google drive or other storages (for privacy) .On my note 4 I havea sim card and on the sim card I have all the gallery photo + I have olso other photo n the main memory (pics I got with other programms).By the way..I want to transfer al photo without losing position and date .I'm planing to dont use now the sd card (because I need to format it and delate all applictio that I got installaed) so my question is...

How I can keep the same order? I got Smart Switch on my note 4 if I tranfer only pics from note 4 to note 20 ultra by wifi (this is what the app request) I will have all the gallery on my note 20 ultra with the original position or not?

Any other solution/tips?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowSomething:
So something I noticed on my old note 4 is that the screen has a strip unresponsive to touch (pen works fine).

The thing that weirds me out is that when you reboot the phone, it works perfectly fine, but after being on for a few hours, the middle part of the screen just stops responding.

Rebooting revives the part of the screen, but not for long. Factory resetting it does nothing different and it's running completely stock firmware and software.

Any ideas as to what's causing this? I'm not sure if replacing the screen would help since it seems to work fine for the short duration that it does.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unidave199:
It sounds like a digitizer problem. I wonder also if the heat of the phone is causing something to change or even physically warp to cause the unresponsive part.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Either a blown display or mobo.

A trace, solder joint, micro weld or junction failed.

It's possible it could be a connector/ribbon cable failure in which case easily repairable.

Check the display/mobo ribbon connectors...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowSomething:
I'm pretty sure it's not heat since you can turn it on, leave it on a table, idle without anything running, and it'll be completely room temp and the part of the screen stops responding.

I'll give them a look over, hopefully reseating connectors may help
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Could be literally 100s of thousands of parts that could have failed; semiconductor junctions, resistors or caps.

Solder failures aren't uncommon either.

If you spare parts, use the process of elimination. If you really like that model having a few parts queens around is a plan.

Hopefully it's a connector contact... check all connections including grounds.

For $650 you can get a Note 10+ 512gb in excellent condition... don't got too nuts trying to fix it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowSomething:
i'm not using this phone, it's my dad's old phone that i just want to mess around with since he put it in a drawer a while ago. I don't really plan on putting much into it. just hopefully get it running well and to **** around with roms on it.

Also $650 still isn't cheap for a phone when you're paying cash outright :v

at least a lot more expensive than a $50 screen replacement or $35 motherboard

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:

There's no guarantee swamping out parts will fix anything. The devil is in the details.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowSomething:

reseating things didn't help, may see if i can scrounge up an old parts phone or something
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Sorry to hear that.

Some devices seem to defy being repaired.

45 years ago Tom Schall owned a TV repair shop. He was an excellent technician with a engineering degree in electronics.

He swapped out a trouble filled Magnavox chassis with a known good one for a customer after repairing the original one at least twice only to have another circuit fail.

After a month he did the swamp but continued to try and fix the original. He repaired completely different sections of it only to have another one fail, HV, tuner, horizontal output, audio, and more.

Never once did it survive a couple days of burn in, sometimes only hours. It got to be a running joke. Hundreds of test point checks, scoped it, testing isolated components pondering how it could be so cryptic to repair. At this point no one else would even touch it... but Tom persisted for at least 3 more years in his spare time.

If there's a heaven or hell I'm sure Tom's still tinkering with that chassis. RIP

They weren't called Magotboxes for nothing🤣

if a menu comes up, choose the top left option to upgrade the fw for touchscreen, wait for complete, then hit home button and see if it works. Maybe best to try after your screen goes funny, it should fix straight away

That worked at first, but I rebooted the phone and it seems to be doing it again. I tried to update the firmware again, and it's not working. Any advice? It worked fine for over a day without any issue after doing that at first, now it's back to doing it again.

Sorry late reply, I didnt get a notification. It worked for me and I haven't had to do it again, it likely sounds like you have a hardware issue unfortunately.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewudz:
Only other option maybe, is putting on a custom rom, which will instigate a full system wipe and a new fresh software install to a more modern Android version. Possibly may be worth a shot?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowSomething:
Alright, update.

i tried again, and it fixed it, but a while later, it did it again. Since that seemed to fix it for a bit, i can't imagine it being solely a hardware problem.

honestly, that's the plan as of right now. As much as I like the S-pen features on this, it'd be for the better if it fixes it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowSomething:
Update, TWRP + new rom installed. Still does it.

With Refined Nougat N7FE, I'm able to open the screen firmware menu from the dialer and update like with the stock rom. It sometimes fixes it for a while, but ends up doing it again.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] partyman66:
Is there any way to update /etc/hosts without root on SM-A526UZKDXAA?

I tried the old way of going through ADB from a Windows PC to transfer the file but permission is denied.

Ideally I'd be rooted (as I do with all my devices) but there isn't a mainstream way available yet to root or unlock the bootloader on the US market A52 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] GiulianoB:
I am not sure you can change it without root, but you do can use the vpn method. There are apks that are able to use VPN to change the host and/or the DNS. "Host to go" is an example of an app that is able to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] partyman66:
Yeah, i've been using Blokada for the past few days

Thanks. Yeah, i've been using Blokada for the past few days but it would be more ideal to be able to modify the local /etc/hosts file so there's no VPN process running all the time and wasting CPU cycles and also possibly compromising the integrity of my data by completely entrusting it to a 3rd party app.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] GiulianoB:
Lets try something. There are apps that can give you the option to use some xposed modules without root. I wouldn't recommend using VirtualXposed because of the way it works, it makes a virtual space that has the ability to use xposed modules, pretty uncomfortable. I suggest you to try SPatch to give the xposed apps the ability to work. Unfortunately , those methods of using xposed without root don't work for everything, some apps requires root to work properly, but some will only need xposed itself to work. Try using SPatch with a module that has the ability to change the host file, for example "Unbelovedhosts". If it doesn't work, I am afraid that all you can do is to use a third party app, there is a really good app that can change the host file through vpn, it is extremely simple with just a simple switch to activate and deactivate and option to choose your host file, no ads, nothing, simple and easy to use, I don't think it will hog your cpu usage or ram.
