How to install minor updates? - Samsung Galaxy Express GT-I8730 Questions & Answer

Hi @ all,
I have an Galaxy Express I8730 with lineage-14.1-20170208-UNOFFICIAL-expressltexx installed. GAPPs version is ARM/stock and TWRP 3.0.2-0-expressltexx.
The phone is not rooted. What is the right path for an minor update to a new 14.1 lineage version, whenever possible leaving all apps and settings untouched?
Some users did an dirty update. That means just flashing on top without wiping cache/dalvik - right?
(Should i do a twrp reflash prior update the OS?)
Thanks for your help

[Q] No Recovery after CM upgrade

Hello,
hopefully someone could help me solve my issue.
i've installed the latest nightly of cm 12.1 today overwriting my previous installation of cm11 with a build from january.
the recovery i used so far was twrp.
after upgrading cm to 12.1 i can no longer access the recovery. the phone shows a black screen and reboots when i press the power button.
i've tried reflashing current and older (2.7) versions of twrp with odin but with no success.

You should have flashed official lollipop first, to get the latest bootloader. And you should begin there. And then flash twrp for your rom and cm12.1 using twrp.
Use a cm12.1 rom from development forums instead. E.g temaseks.
so just to make it clear for the dummy kind of user which i seem to be the necessary steps are:
1. getting a stock lp rom and flash this
2. flashing a custom recovery
3. flashing custom rom (e.g. temaseks or standard cm12.1)
Does the Phone have to be rooted for these steps? It looks like it has lost its root status with the update to 12.1 or when i tried to re-flash the broken recovery partition.
thanks for your patience.

Flash stock recovery.
so does anyone have a changelog other than the one OnePlus have provided, seeing as it's the same as 4.0.0 & 4.0.1

are you on twrp 3.0.3-1? make sure you update twrp to the latest version first before you do anything
step 1: go to the "how to Install OxygenOS 4.0.1 with Stock Or Custom Recovery without Data Loss!!" thread and download the newest supersu zip file and the FULL 4.0.1 zip file (larger file)
step 2: boot to recovery and nandroid backup
step 3: go to wipe, advanced, wipe cache and dalvik
step 4: go to install and flash the full OOS 4.0.1 zip file then directly after flash the newest supersu 2.79 zip file
step 5: boot to system should take a bit longer than usual then you will be in nougat
hope this helps

How to stock update with rooted and TWRP?

Have a LeEco Pro 3 (US Version) running 5.8.19s official stock version, bootloader unlocked and official TWRP installed. But my system update fails everytime eventhough it shows there is new update 5.8.21s but phone boots to recovery in TWRP and asking for password. I have tried several times but its the same thing over and over again. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some different file that I must flash?

You need the official recovery for update to work

You can update to 21s on the US version (727) from TWRP with a few modifications to the updater-script file (see the below post/thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72815409&postcount=48
This will remove root but it keeps TWRP so you should be able to just reinstall root through TWRP.
Thank you. Will it keep my data and apps intact or will it erase them? I don't want to lose all my important data and setup.

I did a wipe before updating but it should work without wiping as the update zip file is the official OTA with only a modified updater-script. Do a backup from TWRP before you try it and if anything goes wrong you can revert to that backup.
Running into the same issue..did your script and that worked. Thanks for that.
Flash 19s using TWRP and needed a somewhat official way to get to 21s. Use the script of d/l the official 21s update and pushed the modified zip to sdcard to get flashed in TWRP. So hopefully this update, updated whatever it needs to update and maybe it will fix my other issue... why when I flash Lineage base ROMs they show my battery only at 50%
I followed the above instructions and replaced with the updated script however TWRP is giving me Error 7 and a quick google search is saying it is due to problem with updated script. How do you guys fix this?

TWRP installed, but unable to boot into rom

Hello,
I've installed twrp on my lg g2 802. Using twrp i tried to install lineageos, but on reboot the screen remains black. I see the monitor on but nothing happens. I have to force the reboot. I can still go into recovery but i don't understand where is the problem.
I already tried to wipe everything, and i installed latest nightly of lineageos (no gapps).
Da you have an idea?
I have this same exact problem. I hope a solution is out there!
i installed from a kitkat. Maybe this can be a problem? Should i install lineage from a lollipop?
Flash this

I got LineageOS to work!
It was a long grind of reading various posts on here and looking up other info on google, but I finally got my phone to run LineageOS.
The three things that I think are key are:
Making sure your phone is starting off with kitkat. I wasn't able to root my phone with lollipop. Stumproot, towelroot, and ioroot all didn't work. Once I downgraded to kitkat, I rooted successfully with ioroot.
After getting TWRP, updating it to 3.1.0. I had to first get an older version and then flash 3.1.0
Change the bootloader to kitkat if it isn't on it already. I used Bootloader Changer.

Yes u need lp bootstacks. Or you can simply get to the stock lollipop using flashtool and then flash lineage os
Thank you for support. Now it works

How to install Magisk v23 on GT-i9505?

Hi, I'm on LineageOS 14.1 Optimized by JDCTeam.
However I'm not able to install the latest Magisk.
Is it just not possible anymore because you need fastboot to install a patched boot.img?
I tried flashing through the regular way as a .zip file (just renaming the magisk apk into .zip) in TWRP 3.2.x.x. Also tried flashing the patched boot.img file from the rom through TWRP.
But whenever I flash it and reboot, everything force closes.
Any help on that?
Latest TWRP, latest LineageOS version (18.1), latest Magisk here. I have no issues with flashing Magisk in TWRP. In fact, I have lately had to dirty flash LineageOS then Magisk in TWRP, as a standard update in LineageOS via its updater causes a bootloop.
Fortunately this isn't my main device so....
In your case, I would update to the latest LineageOS as the version you have is really old. Updating may help.

Thanks for the reply, but I want to stay on Android 7 Nougat, so maybe it's in fact not possible anymore. But maybe somebody else has an idea.
