Hello, first of all i am sorry for my english.
I beg you to help me.
I wanted to do an update from my Cuoco92 to Lineage ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...x-lineageos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577 ) and i surely made something wrong because the phone was litteraly stuck.
So, i waited 1 hours... and nothing happened. Then, I decided to force the reset. Recovery told me that no rom was installed.
Then, i tried to install several roms from the website (cuoco, linegae, small eui...) but there are some issue :
- google play doesnot want to work at all.
- most of the time, the phone is saying something like "data corrupted. Put in it factory mode" and even when i reset my phone in factory mode, it is still telling me that.
Now, i am giving up because sideload said me "Error 7" each time i try to install something new.
I need your help. I beg you, i can give you with a steam game or something like that but i want to fix that...
Someone want to skype or i dont know?
Thank you!!
in TWRP please go to wipe > format data > yes.
then install any rom.
Heyyo, please upgrade to the latest version of TWRP. 3.2.1-2. it has fixed ADB sideload where as older versions it is broken.
https://twrp.me/leeco/leecolemax2.html
Also, another option is to use ADB push which tbh I always prefer over sideload so that the full zip is on the device.
IE...
adb push NameOfFile.zip /sdcard/
That will copy that zip to the sdcard folder which is the root of the data partition so it can be easily deleted once you are fully booted into the ROM.
For Gapps? I recommend MindTheGapps arm64. It's fully compatible to LineageOS and Oreo ROMs in general where as OpenGapps for Oreo is still of beta quality.
Lastly, I recommend upgrading your device firmware. X820 30s is the latest stable but arguably 466D has a newer timestamp for the modem portion of the firmware so in theory it should have better cellular connectivity.
All links can be found in the LineageOS 15.1 for x2 thread.
Good luck!

Working/Bugs
I have just tested on 16 GB variant and all seems to be working. If something is broken lemme know.
IMPORTANT NOTE :
At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda
Force encryption is enabled by default in stock OS and twrp will successfully decrypt /data at first boot if all goes well
If in case decryption doesn't go fine, twrp will popup a dialog box asking for password and that means decryption went wrong and you would need to wipe data once via twrp wipe options and reboot back to twrp for functioning of /data

Thanks for the updated TWRP! Works like a charm
Are there any circumstances which would make it necessary to use the non-treble version?
image not signed or corrupted moto g 5 cedric. is this for cedric?
edit2: my friend used the fastboot boot recovery option the recovery booted and asked a password, then he pressed back and the other screen with the swipe button has appeares (allow system modifications) and now what to do? the sdcard folder doesn't have nothing inside, neither the external sd
update3: after requering the password he pressed back and then formatted the phone, phone booted into the stock rom, and the twrp is gone.
update4: tried install viperos cedric android 9.0.0 gave error 7 I don't know what to do twrp is working, he tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCqROwIGLLE and now stock rom is gone. we are loosing hope ;-;
update 5: tried using the twrp provided by this guy https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-twrp-3-1-1-0-moto-g5-t3699737/page11 but nothing. still error 7 even doing the procedure above ^^
update 6: Forget everything you read, upthere^^^^ he downloaded the rom for a different phone XD
so anone tested any treble roms from the project forum on our phones with this twrp?

What did he do exactly to avoid the password screen?
so...does this fix some of the issues present in the previous treble recovery? such as the camera not working? flashlight not working? crashes? can i use it as a daily driver?
I tried this ones. Camera working and no crashes, really stable.

alright so here's a question: the lineage treble build to flash before the img is down, so where can i find a treble-ised rom to flash before the actual image?

Both of these are not working for me.
All I get is the normal, stock recovery screen.
But yeah, do note that I had installed the 3.3 official which worked for just one boot. After that, I'm getting the stock recovery screen too.

I would use the 64bit twrp in the link below
It's not treble but then there's no stable treble roms for this device anyway (which is probably why this twrp is not maintained)
The following 64bit twrp will work with all 64bit custom roms

If you want an never version use Jarl's TWRP - it works perfectly fine except if you encrypt backups (not the same as backing up encrypted data)
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup.
Notes
The idea of this project treble is to separate the device-dependent part and the system.
The project treble requires a separate /vendor partition for device-dependent part. But unfortunately we do not have it. But we have a /cache partition, which takes about 200mb and there is a /hidden partition, which takes 50-60mb. 200mb is not enough for us, our vendor is about 450mb.
In the first edition I maded for the 825 tablet, I implement an original solution using separate files for the system and the vendor. But this solution was very difficult to understand. Now my good friend @bonuzzz suggested an idea to me using a compressed partition (squashfs with lz4 compression). With this method, our vendor takes 190-195mb and it is possible to write it to the /cache partition. And use the /hidden partition as a /cache.
Now the installation has become much easier, almost like installing the usual lineage.
Installation
1. install twrp version with treble support (this is my special twrp, based on 9.0 with my latest caf kernel with squashfs support)
2. download treble zip and flash it as usual zip. It will flash boot.img and /vendor partition (in /cache)
3. download any treble system (64bit System A-only) image from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
extract, you should get .img file, then copy to sdcard/extsd card and then flash image as system_image in twrp (Install - switch to Install Image and flash as System Image)
4. if you wanna back to stock firmware or lineage - you need flash normal twrp version and make full wipe or just flash stock firmware via odin

System images
You can use almost any system image from https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
Our version is: arm64 and a-only image
Magisk
You should use only latest 19.0 beta version from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Do not use 18.1 or early version - it's dnw, it will corrupt firmware or may be even corrupt recovery (need flash recovery again via odin)
Almost all firmware say about wrong vendor version. This is normal, just press OK.
let's experiment together!
Version for SM-T825 hope will come soon too. I have some ril issues.
Update boot.img
Wow! Thank you for the amazing work. I seriously can't believe no one hasn't gone crazy over this already.
How would I go about adding some libraries to my /vendor partiton now? I want to try a Samsung OneUI GSI image on my tablet but it requires additional libraries.
The files I want to add are in here: https://mega.nz/#!oi52TSTY!2Qy3WU7DjVmafs4zENPF6dlOsbY06JG5NuvsNeDTRn4
How did you build this file in the first place?
EDIT: I noticed that video playback does not work. I see the video starts to buffer, then some ghosting appears, and finally the app crashes (both YouTube and Vimeo). Also, camera apps seem to crash.

Maybe my /hidden & /cache partitions got corrupt somehow. I tried several GSIs and had the same issue. Thanks for confirming though.
Have you tried an GSIs from non AOSP-based images? Like OneUI or Xperia? I had trouble with those.

Could you let us know which treble rom you used, as I have the same issues with video playback on youtube.
I also want to throw out there I was on the Nougat bootloader when I tried this and had video playback issues. I have not tried it out on Oreo. I would imagine that could make a big difference.
deleted (it sucks none of the sensors function properly)
just installed RR but i think gps not working
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...0-resurrection-remix-v7-0-arm64-32-b-t3891636
This is great!
Hey everyone, this project is big news! I am so happy that we can use Treble GSI, using the cache partition via squashfs is a really elegant way for this.
Almost everything works on my T820! I am using Phh-Treble AOSP 9.0 v112, MindTheGapps and Magisk. Even adoptable storage works, I have 256GB for internal storage now (it displays as 256/512 used when empty, but whatever).
The device is certified with magisk and custom prop value.
Contrary to the old Lineage OS from last year, there is no crazy wifi jitter, so Steam Link just works fine. I did not try out the recent Lineage 20190331, so I don't know if it was due to Lineage.
The rotation sensors are not working, for now I am using "Rotation Quick Setting" app from Play Store. Also, the camera app crashes, but I am not using it anyway.
Thank you so much @bonuzzz and @Valera1978 for making this possible! It is stable enough for daily use for me.
BTW, I came from Oreo bootloader, and have no problems regarding video playback (but I use MX Player, not stock)
Mhh.. I get constantly soft reboots if i try to install third party apps or restore my titanium backup on Havoc for treble. Fingerprint is also not working. Seems to be very unstable...
How could I go about adding files to this treblized /vendor partition? Presumably through the zip? If this is the case, how could I do that?
Fair warning to those wanting to try this: treble roms do install and run, but sensor support appears to be lacking. I can't get any input from gps, accelerometer, gyro, or light sensor.
@Valera1978 If anybody has any idea on how to add support for these to the (I'm assuming) vendor partition, I'd love any hint or direction.

Does Netflix work?
I get a bootloop after installing image and reboot to system. I have followed the instructions and got an error "Updater process ended with ERROR:7" installing the treble-16.0.zip. I flashed the custom TWRP using odin and using stock Pie. Did I do something wrong?
Hey all. Flashed all the relevant files in the relevant order and currently have a tablet sitting on the Tab S3 splash screen. How long does this normally take?
I flashed the custom TWRP,
Rebooted into Recovery,
Flashed the Treble .zip file,
Rebooted into Recovery,
Flashed the latest Havoc OS, then Magisk v20.3
then rebooted and it's stuck here.
Strange thing is, Windows has flashed up saying that it is "setting up Samsung_Android" while it's on the splash screen.
I come from the tweaked T825 ROM.
Anyone else had this issue? Should I have flashed stock first?

Well I've hard-bricked my tab by flashing the Treble zip so consider yourself lucky. I think you should flash ODIN stock and start from scratch. Flash ashyx's TWRP, follow the instructions there. DO NOT FLASH MAGISK. Then flash Treble TWRP, flash zip, reboot recovery, DO A WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET, NOT FORMAT, Then flash Havoc OS a only or whatever. After that wipe cache/dalvik and let it boot to ROM, AND THEN flash magisk and stuff.
I hard bricked my tab because Magisk was installed on the device while I flashed Treble. So yeah DON'T DO THAT EITHER
By the way im so sorry for being 2 months late i saw this just now
Looking dangerous. I'd like to try it but uncertain procedures

would some of the issues seen by others be fixed if one started with non-rooted stock 9.0 and 9.0 bootloader (if it is different from that for Oreo)? thanks anyone
Disclaimer: I'm not a dev, i'm just someone who has a lot of time to do research on Windows, Android... So that i can say i'm quite a talent that stuffs when other don't, may be just know to use Facebook, Youtube or something similar. But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global Rom but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx, due to support wifi 2.4 ghz only. (Because bluetooth interfering with wifi 2.4 Ghz and our device doesn't support 5ghz wifi)
Compare to MIUI, Havoc OS has somethings i like:
+ Faster download/upload speed: no delay with wifi bluetooth interference
+ Doesn't have bloatware, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk and root.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI and extract to get system
From Official Havoc OS here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/havoc-os/files/a64-ab/ (Newer Version)
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature. If it doesn't work, then try an alternative way:
Open /vendor/bin/init.qcom.post_boot.sh and add the string:
Code:
sendevent /dev/input/event2 0 1 5
then reboot
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...
How to Update
- Flash system image over, no wipe require. Just reboot.
Bugs
I don't use the phone often so i can say it's stable enough to be a daily driver rom. If there's any, just comment below so i can add them.
Additions
- Here are all apps i want to install on my phone: Youtube Vanced from https://vancedapp.com/; Bromite for browsing; modded messenger from @evilwombatHere, outdated version but still okay.
- If you don't like stock camera, you can use gcam, here is a working version i download from Telegram group: Here
- To fix Recording, from Misc features -> Force Timestamp Source, choose Clock boottime
And that's all. Now enjoy!
I gifted my sister this phone so i don't have device to test anymore. Still, sometime i'll test if i can. The guide still works so enjoy flashing!!!
Great. I've been using havocOs for almost two months now and it's great. Much quicker and smoother than stock miui. Only problem I've been trying to find a fix for is setting up a lock screen.
Thanks for sharing the dt2w module for magisk. Is there some sort of setting I need to mess with to get it to work? I've installed the module and activated it in magisk but dt2w still won't work. I also activated the dt2w setting that comes with havocOs 3.1 under " xiaomi features " but that never worked from the beginning.

Did you flash no_encrypt zip? It'll make set up screen password impossible because encryption is disable. I have clean flashed Havoc OS and confirm d2tw module working, despite i don't active the xiaomi option in setting.

There is a trick, you can enable encryption through Settings -> security -> Encryption and credentials then encrypt phone. If it doesn't work, then read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Or you can do the whole process again, clean flash and do as my thread. May be d2tw starts working.
Thank you sir
thanks a lot for this
can you tell me how to upgrade our 32bit os to 64bit

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

+ Faster download/upload speed: almost the same as the speed of my network
+ Doesn't have some bloatwares, you choose what you want to install
+ All known bugs i mentioned in my previous topic are fixed, except Auto Brightness - i don't use it though
+ D2TW needs to be fixed. But i have a workaround using Magisk.
And a lot that i dont write all here.
Instructions:
Read my previous topic first, all instructions below will focus on Havoc OS only.https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
0) Backup Backup Backup, be sure to have a plan in case anything goes wrong. I use a offline disk drive to backup anything important to me.
1) Unlock Bootloader, Install TWRP or Orange Fox. If you come from stock MIUI, use Volume Up + Power to enter recovery directly after flash with Fastboot, ortherwise, stock recovery will be replaced.
Remember to flash vbmeta.img.
2) Download all the files in my post, download Havoc OS GSI from ExpressLuke and extract to get system imagehttps://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/HavocOS/Ten/A64/AB/
Download Opengapps (optional) from opengapps (10/arm/nano or pico)
Download boot.img from my previous topic, choose the right version matched your phone version.
3) Copy all the files to the phone. I recommend use a micro sd card because internal storage may be encrypted, or you can format data first, your call.
4) Format the following partitions: Cache, Dalvik, Data and System
5) Install system image to system partition.
6) Install permissiver_v5
7) Resize system partition to install opengapps.
8) Install Opengapps or what gapps you choose
9) Flash Certification + Patch
10) Reboot. If bootloop, format data. Not wipe data. Then setup your phone.
11) Install Magisk Manager. Follow the app instructions.
12) Install d2tw module to have d2tw feature.
13) Enjoy Havoc OS. Install apps, configure settings...

I've considered making a complete tutorial on installing recovery, root, & rom installation for this phone. Next time I go back to stock I probably will make a video. Until then you can definitely follow the tutorials on this forum to install a custom recovery and rom. Personally I would recommend installing OrangeFox recovery because TWRP has touchscreen issues sometimes.
You will have to unlock the bootloader first which takes 14 days if you have not already.
The tool to unlock the Bootloader is here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Once your bootloader is unlocked you're ready to install OrangeFox custom recovery, the files and instructions can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...t/orangefox-recovery-xiaomi-redmi-8a-t4032583
Once you have OrangeFox recovery installed you can follow this tutorial in this thread to install HavocOS rom or the other thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...de-how-to-install-magisk-miui-how-to-t4030175
Try it out and then come back and let us know what problems you run into

I'm wondering if that d2tw module not working for me has something similar to do with how the touch screen becomes unresponsive in TWRP for some people. What recovery did you use on your redmi?

I used TWRP then moved to Orange Fox. Everything working fine, may be your screen is different. In d2tw module, there's a file called readme.md: Manual usage : - enable $ set-dt2w 1 - disable $ set-dt2w 0
Just try it -))))))))
Great GSI. I have this one problem though. I cannot backup anything from TWRP. Is it really normal because it's encrypted?

But when you're here, want to read my topic, i'm happy you're something like me, want your phone yours and yours only, want to do more with your phone. So let's get started.
- My Phone: Redmi 8A -4/64 China Variant, i'm not from China though. Running Xiaomi.eu rom 11.0.4.0 as base to install gsi. I have tried Global 10.3 but it's incompatible with my phone (random reboot, missing imei, no MAC address...) so please flash another market version with caution.
- Why i write this topic? Because firstly i want to demonstrate how to install a GSI rom. Secondly, i feel somehow wifi speed on MIUI is ridiculous, only 500-600kb/s, it takes me 15 minutes to download a 16mb app; random ping in game, that make the game not enjoyable. This wifi symptom is like on a phone from my country, Vsmart joy 2+, run on the same entry variant 4xx.

Bro having oragane fox recovery installed on my redmi 8a device, can you please tell me at which step of flashing gsi we have to flash vbmeta.img and boot. Img

I wasn't able to encrypt my phone it would just reboot and nothing change.
So I ended up re-flashing back to MIUI stock firmware.
Flashing OrangeFox and HavocOS 3.1
Flashed all of the other necessary stuff EXCEPT for Disable_ForceEncrypt.
Now my phone is encrypted and able to set up a Screen Lock .
Now I'm still not able to use dt2w for some odd reason. No worries though I'm able to set up tap status bar to lock so that'll help for Now until I can keep dt2w to work.

Boot.img and vbmeta are done before flashing the gsi. I'd recommend reading this thread first for better understanding

I'm getting the same error with attempting to make a back up in orangefox. After seeing you have the same problem now I'm assuming it is indeed a problem with encryption? I was able to make backups successfully before my phone was encrypted so I still have an old back up on my PC. However it would be nice to be able to make a new fresh back up.

That was weird. In stock ROM, I can back up the /data/media just fine even when encrypted. But after having Havoc OS, I cannot do that anymore. Tried on both TWRP and OrangeFox. I can, with an unencrypted phone, but I do not feel comfortable without a lockscreen. Tried all things I have researched on that error. Not one worked. Might as well just stick to Titanium Backup for backups.
Overall, great GSI. Loading is faster than on stock (with the internet too)! Though, I have another issue with regards to the locking of apps, so that the app would not be cleared. Speaking of clearing apps, it is tiring to scroll left just to see the "Clear All" option in Recents. Autostart too.
I know you are not the developer, but just letting you know my concerns.

Hey guys found our first custom ROM, it's not official but I've been using it for about a week now and the performance is excellent.
There is not many bugs that I've noticed and build is very stable. One big I've noticed is that when kernel is on performance, the screen does not go off automatically.
I've used Kernel Tasker to avoid this issue by turning on performance for certain apps and games, while keeping the system at Interactive for most tasks.
At the bottom is the link for instructions, the OS and gapps. There is a thread in this forum for passing safety net which I recommend. It solved all issues for me since magisk is failing safety net while other safety apps are passing. All the best rooting enjoy the ROM.

I am still using this ROM daily with no problems, before you flash make sure you remove Mi Account. If you do not remove account, phone will bootloop with any ROM you flash.
Pitch black recovery keeps restarting every time when I tried to flash this custom
I don't know what is wrong
Tried so much but in vein
Finally I flashed my phone and makes it workable

Defintely something wrong. I *did*remove my Mi Account, but to no avail, the phone keeps returning to Pich Black Recovery. I would say: not at all recommended to use this ROM. I am quite experienced in rooting phones, but this one fails in any respect. Do not use this ROM!

I don't know what u guys are doing wrong but I'm still using this ROM till today, haven't found anything else but haven't really looked either.
Follow the instructions on the website to the T, wipe when it tells u to wipe and flash everything in order.
The model 9C I'm using is the global variant and it's not NFC. So perhaps you guys are using different variant but I doubt that could be the problem.
I believe somewhere u guys skipped or improvised a step because from my experience with rooting, 1 little detail skipped or over looked or something that might seem harmless can brick a phone.
I have been rooting since 2015 and my 1st phone was hauwei mate 7. Nearly hard bricked the phone and I had to pay to unlock bootloader using DC Unlocker. I rooted using a 3rd party rooting app, can't remember the name but it almost cost me the phone.
But this ROM works for me but it's a gsi ROM, it's not actually a custom ROM. There are other gsi ROMs out there that u could try. Download treble info for more info on which gsi is compatible.

I remember now, King Root that was the culprit app I used with that hauwei mate 7. 1st and last time I ever rooted with 3rd party app. I was so proud of myself when I saved that phone lol still am.
Booting into Lineage ROM. Perhaps others will have difficulty but if u follow instructions carefully and phone has been rooted properly, it will work.
I recommend the guide for rooting by 0purple. How to root and pass safetynet.
Also very important remove Mi account and reboot phone to insure that phone won't lock similar to Google account lock. So remove all accounts and back up data. As the instructions indicate you will be wiping phone as OS requires a clean install.
i flash this customer rom to remove mi account after done camera not work! and after format user data now stuck at recovery i reflash it with stock rom and custom rom but always stuck at logo ! any solution pleas?

I think the ROM originally posted might have a problem. Try follow my link and use 'snooks4tech's' rom. There is also a different recovery and vbmeta in this download that I flashed in fastboot. The rest of the process I more or less followed as per dawood99's video, eg the step to wipe those 3 things in Pitchblack, copy this rom over, and install it along with Gapps and Magisk with Pitchblack. I don't see Magisk in my phone now though. I'm not very experienced with custom roms BTW so not too sure if I had the right Magisk file. Snooks4tech's download has got instructions as well and does not mention Magisk. Thanks to Dawood99 for the video, even if I had problems with the rom it gave me a good overview of the steps and I learned a lot.
PS maybe I didn't answer your question. I had to download the Mi flasher, somehow I got it back into Fastboot, I think by holding power and down volume, then flashed it back to stock Xiaomi. Then I started the custom rom flashing process again. I think I flashed Pitchblack again, and Snooks4tech's vbmeta and recovery. It then booted into Pitchblack properly again, and I could do the rest.
So far this rom is working reasonably well for me, Google play store doesn't work but I side-install APK's by downloading from browser. F-droid app is also intermittently not giving me any apps when I search.
Again I'm not expert at all this so take what I say with a pinch of salt, I could be talking rubbish here and there.
Both ROMs and Install Instructions cause in a boot into PBRP recovery (tried with v3.0+3.1) and MIUI also doesn't boot :-(
My steps:
- In PBRP recovery
-> adb reboot bootloader
In Bootloader
-> fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta9c.img
Then I reboot phone with 3 different trys
-> 1. fastboot reboot
-> 2. Power On + Vol Up
-> 4. Power On + Vol Down
--> With all trys phone reboots into PBRP recovery
Push ZIP Files via MTP isn't possible, so:
-> adb push [LineageROM].zip /
-> adb push [GApps].zip /
Then in PBRP I go to "Install"
-> [LineageROM].zip with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
-> [GApps].zip also with "Patch AVB2.0 Verity"
Then I reboot to system from PBRP
But then PitchBlack reboots into recovery
Upgrade and downgrade of PBRP from 3.0 to 3.1 and back to 3.0 works without any problems.
Please help me, many thanks in advance!
/edit: Flashed original MIUI and reinstalled PBRP, then tried to install Lineage again, but boots only in recovery after flashing booth ROMs.

Thanks dude but I'm not responsible for making that video or am I responsible for the website or the files posted on it. I merely stumbled upon the ROM and I should not be credited for it. The creator is credited on the Website I believe and all credit should go to him.
