Hi, just a quick tutorial. Some gsi requires a little additional step to flash gapps.
FIX
First of all download the gsi, and the gapps. I raccomend gapps pico.
Put the gapps in the phone memory, than flash the rom via fastboot or recovery.
-Go to recovery, select Wipe, Advanced Wipe
-select system squarebox then press repair or change system
-tap on Resize System, Swipe to Resize
-go back to the Recovery Main page, flash gapps,
profit. :good:

Greetings,
I flashed RR 2.0 (which is a great rom!), but now my phone and wifi don't work. Reflashed and cleared dalvic cache and still do not work. any ideas?
Pat
Did you follow the extended steps of installation in the FAQ. Here are the steps:
-Reboot into recovery
-Wipe Data / Factory Reset
-Install the Main ROM
-In recovery go to Advanced
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Fix Permissions
-Wipe Cache Partition
-Reboot
-If at the first boot you can't do the configuration of the google account, skip this step and continue
-When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot
-When you boot again into the system the data will be enable and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this before)
-This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, fix's, kernels, etc.
Enjoy!!!
thanks for your help!!!

HI, I followed jacobmacek's instructions twice:
HOW TO INSTALL
1.Wipe Cache+Dalvik
2.Flash ROM, then flash THIS
3.Reboot and Launch Play Store to setup your account
4.Wipe Cache+Dalvik Again And You're Done!
All I get when I reboot is the screen where you see colored pieces spinning and floating . I let it sit for 5 minutes and no boot so I pulled the battery. Did I wait long enough? Am I doing something wrong?.
Santods instructions went a few steps further but I havent tried his method on this rom:
~Suggested Install Procedure~
** PLEASE READ **
____________
Use 4ext Recovery
(not really required, but highly recommended!)
Select Wipe/Format Menu Option
Wipe cache and dalvik
In the same Wipe/Format Menu: Wipe all partitions except SD
Now back in 4ext main menu: Select Tools
Select Format ext3 option
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
Now go back to the main menu and select the rom .zip to install
Thanks for your help
You need to wipe system as well. Sounds Like your only wiping dalvik and cache. It's the first option in the wipe menu in the recovery I belive.

OK, i'LL TRY IT THAT WAY, actually Ill use Santod's install method to be safe. I hope he updates his OP so other's aren't misled. (unintentionally, of course)
Alls good now, I followed Santod's instructions on how to install. I am going to assume that is the best way for a fresh install.
First of all search
Repartition_MI_Pad_1_2GB_zardMi3.Zip
And download it
And then download
CWM RECOVERY 6.0
OR OTHER VERSION you want
Of CWM
And install cwm by just going into
Update software of xiaomi pad
And on upright corner click on icon
And then select install zip
Select CWM RECOVERYzip and afterword reboot it and it will again open as usual
Now power off it
Now press volume up and power button simultaneously
Wait for few seconds it will open CWM RECOVERY. And then go to system 1 and backup your current ROM (I insist not necessary) and then Wipe data ,cache,system
,Dalvik cache,
After wiping system 1 go to system 2 again wipe
System cache, data , system and then go back to system 1 and select install zip and select Repartition_MI_Pad_1_2GB_zardMi3.zip
And afterword again select install.zip
And then select linage os 13.zip placed in your sd card
And flash it up
After finishing it install gapps and
Hurry it's all done okey
But these all should be done through system 1 only and it should be active shown
Thank you
For those on whom TWRP didn't worked okey
As I have used both but TWRP DIDNOT WORKED FOR ME
NO BLAME CAN BE PUT ON ME IF SOMETHING WENT WRONG ON YOUR XIAOMI PAD OK
THANKS AGAIN

About:
DualBootPatcher is an open-source app that allows multiple ROMs to be installed on a single Android device. It does its best to work with existing code and does not require explicit support from ROMs.
Supported devices:
J500F
J500FN
J500G
J500H
J500M
J500Y
J5008
How to use:
Download and install last apk.
On the app, select "Patch Zip File" from the menu.
Tap on the FAB (+ icon) and select "Add flashable zip" and choose a (secondary) ROM that you want to patch.
Select a partition, and give an ID if required (lowercase letters and number only)
Tap on check icon at top right corner to confirm.
Go to ROMs (from the menu) and tap on bottom right icon, and select the patched ROM. Or can be flashed from Recovery
How to change ROM:
There are two methods:
Use the app:
Go to ROMs and select a ROM to boot taping on it
Use Boot UI:
Go to Settings and "Install Boot UI", next on each ROM (even primary) tap on 3dot menu and tap on "Update ramdisk. When a ROM is booted a menu will appear, cancel countdown and select the ROM to boot.
Partition Configuration:
Primary: This is normally used for installing a zip to the primary ROM. It is not required, but is strongly recommended because it has code to prevent the zip from inadvertently affecting other ROMs.
Secondary: Dual/Secondary is the first multiboot installation location. It installs to the system partition. This is a good spot for installing a second ROM because it doesn't take any space away from the internal storage.
Multi-slots: There are 3 multislots: multi-slot-1, multi-slot-2, multi-slot-3. These install to the cache partition. This is specifically for devices, like the Galaxy S4, that have a massive cache partition.
Data-slots: There can be an unlimited number of data slots. These install to the data partition and eat up space on the internal storage. This is useful for devices where the system partition is nearly full and the cache partition is tiny. These slots are named "data-slot-[id]", where "id" is something you provide in the app.
Extsd-slots: There can be an unlimited number of extsd slots. These install to the external SD card, which is useful as it keeps the ROMs off of the internal storage. Note that the ROM's data files are still stored on the data partition.
FAQ:
Switch the ROM if something doesn't work properly?
You can flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery. It will provide a menu interface that allows switching to the various ROMs.
If you have TWRP, you can also switch manually by tapping Install -> Images (bottom right) -> Go to /sdcard/MultiBoot/[Your ROM]/ -> flash boot.img.
Wipe /cache, /data, /system, or dalvik-cache?
The easiest way is to do it from the app while booted in another ROM. Just go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the 3 dots options menu for the ROM you want to wipe, and tap "Wipe ROM".
Alternatively, flash the DualBootUtilities zip from recovery, which will also allow you to wipe a ROM.
NOTE: Don't use the recovery's built-in wiping abilities as that may delete non-primary ROMs!
Update the primary ROM?
Patch the zip for primary and flash it. The "primary" installation target is designed so that other ROMs won't be affected when you want to flash something for the primary ROM.
Update a non-primary ROM?
Patch and flash the zip exactly like how you did it the first time.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for the primary ROM?
Patch it for primary before flashing. If the zip does not wipe /cache, it is also safe to flash it directly.
Flash a mod or custom kernel for a non-primary ROM?
Just patch and flash it

[OFFICAL] TWRP 3.1.1 by @vince2678 : wrong model name, returns with error fixed since 2017-06-20 build
TWRP 3.1.1 by @ganesh varma : Boot loops to recovery
ROMs
(Report any issues with ROMs)
I have a SGP321 (Pollux LTE | Xperia Tablet Z) on unofficial LineageOS 14.1; the TWRP is the one built into the boot.img (v. 3.1.1).
I'd like to get to 16.0.
1.) Can I go from 14.1 to 16.0, or is there a reason 15.1 should be flashed first?
2.) Will any version ≥ TWRP 3.2.x.x official or unofficial work for both Oreo and Pie?
3.) Is this a correct order of operations:
a.) Boot into FOTA recovery
b.) Advanced Wipe: Dalvik + System + Cache + Data + Internal Storage (also, is there a difference between Format Data and Advanced Wipe > Internal Storage?)
c.) Install .zip for LoS from external SD card (or should I sideload via adb?)
4.) Installing gapps is listed as optional, so I can skip installing an opengapps .zip?
5.) Installing addonsu .zip can be done later?
Thank you!

Hello!
1. Yes, you can.
2. For Oreo and Pie 3.2.x.x and 3.3.x.x are optimal.
3a. Check FOTA recovery version, if <3.2.x.x i suggest updating first.
3b. The difference is, that formatting data doesn't wipe internal storage (as far as i remember).
3c. External SD is better (though it's your choice).
4. If you don't GAPPS you can skip it.
5. Yes it can be done later, but i see no reason to not installing it in 3c.
Also think of root management solution, suitable best for you. Will it be internal root manager of LOS (with the help of addonsu binary) or you will use Magisk, which is more complex and has it's benefits too.
Good luck with flashing!
Thank you for the info!
I'm getting dropped into TWRP after flashing the latest 16.0 .zip.
This is specifically what I did:
1. Pushed lineage-16.0-20200511-UNOFFICIAL-pollux.zip & twrp-3.3.1-0-pollux.img to external_sd via adb root
2. adb reboot recovery; verified md5sums via terminal
3. In terminal: # dd if=/external_sd/twrp-3.3.1-0-pollux.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
4. Reboot into FOTA recovery; made sure the version = 3.3.1-0
5. Wipe: Format Data
6. Advanced Wipe: Dalvik + System + Cache + Data + Internal Storage
7. Install the lineage .zip
8. Wipe Cache/Dalvik and reboot system
After the "Sony Xperia" logo pops up, the Lineage boot animation runs for about 2.5 minutes, then the tablet drops into TWRP (RescueParty).
I can restore a 14.1 backup I made before flashing, and the tablet will boot again successfully.
Not sure where to go from here/not sure which specific log file would be necessary—or even available—to diagnose the problem (dmesg, logcat, Console-ramoops).

This happens sometimes. Try to wipe everything ones again and flash LOS via TWRP.
FYI lineage-16.0-20200609-UNOFFICIAL-pollux.zip build is available.
