I would like to update my S4 to Lineage OS 14.1 and I have an older version of TWRP 2.8.4.0 recovery on my phone. What is the best way to upgrade to the newer ROM? Do I need to update TRWP recovery in order to install Lineage OS 14.1 or will it work with the older version? Its been a while since updating my phone could you someone point me in the right direction.
Update,
I've tried updating to a newer version of twrp via the app store and downloading the new update. For some reason when I browse from the file from twrp cannot find the img file. Any idea of why this is, I save files to specific directory where I can find them.
Thanks
I am in the same boat, however I am currently on cyanogenmod 13.
Where did you find v14.1 for jfltespr?
FYI I set it and forget it and try to update to the latest greatest yearly.
I am under the impression that there is no active maintainer for lineageOS however it appears to have forked.
so far I have found these options:
OCTos: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/orig-development/rom-team-octos-oct-n-t3537546
Vanir & Commotio: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/development/rom-vanir-commotio-05-30-2017-t3614632
I am torn, I want the latest (and acquire the security updates) but I know little to nothing of either of the two above;
plus I am very rusty in trying new ROMS.
would be interested to see what you come up with
I did come across this, but not sure about installing it. I'm on a older version twrp, didnt know if the latest version is required to install some of the newer roms.

If you use twrp recovery, how were you able to update it? It keeps failing for me.
i am not so sure that the link is for a jfltespr
seems to be for a different device jfltexx (the international version).... see http://www.lineageosrom.com/2016/12/list-of-devices-getting-official.html

Can you provide instruction on how to disassemble the phone. Also where to order spares from. The digitiser on my Storm is cracked and Wileyfox want to charge me the price of a new phone to replace it.

Eh, sorry mate, I don't know how to disassemble the device and no one else sure as hell knows how to do it (at least on other websites). There are only reviews and unboxing experiences of the Wileyfox Storm and guides on how to flash ROMs, root and recoveries, etc. But some member will help you out, surely! If nobody seems to be knowing the issue, pm a forum moderator so that he/she can guide you to some links/methods. :fingers-crossed: Best of Luck!

Downgrade to android 6.0 marshmallow
Hello everyone, well recently my phone updated to android 7.1.1 and I didn´t like very much, so could help me and tell me if is there a way to go back to android marshmallow 6.0, just like it came when I bought it. Is it possible and does anyone know how to do it?
Okay so im trying to get lineage Os on my phone, this OS isn't working at all i get in bootloops etc. So i tried AOSP extended and i managed to get this working. But when i try to install gapps or try to flash Super su or magisk it returns error 1. The problem is in the recovery probably. So i tried to flash / boot a different TWRP version but all of the other versions give me this error: FAILED (remote: dtb not found). I would appreciate any help i can get i am hardstuck because i cant get a proper working TWRP recovery working and the only rom i am able to flash is AOX but without gapps that isnt worth much.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, what build of LineageOS are you trying to install??? If it is dated 12.07.2017 or 05.07.2017 - it won't work at all. That builds are broken. Use 28.06 or 21.06 build.
Secondly, what TWRP version do you use? I installed LOS via TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Newer version is available now.
And what bootloader version do you have on your Storm. I mean what stock ROM was installed before installing TWRP.

It seems to me, AEX is pre-rooted and comes with magisk pre-installed. When I installed that - only gapps were necessary.
Gapps need to be installed immediately after installing ROM, without any reboot.

I was using 05/07 build so that explains that. Im using TWRP 3.0.3.0 Kipper, but i can't find newe TWRP builds for the wileyfox storm, if you could give me some links that would be great. Stock rom was android 7.1 i believe and bootloader version is 'kipper-N-g2253387'. When i installed AEX via my (probably corrupt) TWRP recovery it says it also flashed Magisk but once the phone starts and i go to the magisk app it says im unrooted and so does rootchecker say. I think my biggest problem is with the TWRP recovery. If you could get me the download links of the versions your using that would be great.
Here you can get TWRP

Thanks to kligli from 4pda
Maybe the bootloader from 7.1-wileyfox is not compatible with Lineage OS.
Before flashing TWRP and LOS, I rolled back to COS 13.1.5 official Wileyfox ROM via fastboot. So I don't really know whether it is compatible or not.

So i flashed the twrp 3.1 and that works, it installs gapps now and no error with lineage OS, im gonna boot phone soon hopefully lineage will start to, i didnt know what gapps to flash but i tried the arm64 because i read it somewhere. But isn't the Storm ARM?
Use ARM64 - 7.1 - nano or pico GApps. Lineage official site said it works even without any GApps, but I have not tried that.
So I just bought a wileyfox storm few days ago and am on 7.1.1 what is the rooting method thanks.

Hi Guys
Someone of you have audio problems on whatsapp ( with integrated and bt mic ) when recording audio? ( noise and metallic audio recording )
I'm on Lineage 7.1.2 - 14.1-20180110-nightly but have same problems with previous rom
Sorry, this is a total noob question:
I have a Turkish-sold S4 i9500, baseband I9500XXHUOG2 buildt LRX22C.i9500XXUHOL1.
It came rooted, but I'd like the lineageOS 14.1 plus the gApps package.
I have no idea which version of TWRP to select on the App. Plus, I'd like to flash from SD card if that is possible because it was a real mess to get the Xiaomi A1 to work in my Laptop and it doesn't really like phones anymore now.
Plus, will lineage-14.1-20170721-UNOFFICIAL-WEEKLY-ja3gxx and open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20181010 work straight after twrp install or did I overread something?
It seems to be working according to these guys (can't post links, google "[Galaxy S4] [GT-i9500] [7.1.2] LineageOS 14.1 ROM Kurulumu", Technopat link; but I don't speak Turkish, so this may also mean he totally screwed it up.
You can try flashing the img version of TWRP with Odin: https://dl.twrp.me/i9500/
Worked fine with Odin. Latest Samsung drivers are somewhat *****y, but trying different USB cables on different ports actually worked.
Used latest stable twrp from twrp.me for i9500 - twrp-3.1.1-0-i9500.img
Then installed this as shown in the 1st youtube video I found; basically make backup, wipe "advanced" first 4 boxes, then install - in my case Resurrection Rom latest version with gapps 7.1 ARM nano.
Thanks!
I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930T which runs android 8.0 with the firmware G930TUVS8CRL1. I believe I have found the right root files and tools, and now I just need a custom rom. I really like to try Lineage, and I have downloaded version 14.1, but it says it is for Android v 7, and I like to try Lineage version 15.1. I found the Jenkins site for Lineage, but I do not see an option for searching. I need help either making sure that version 14.1 of Lineage works fine after I root the phone, or how do I get a custom rom that works with my handset's software please.
I am also open to other ROMs. Please give me suggestions.
Also, does anyone know which version of twrp I will need?
Last but not least, Lineage instructions asked me to check the CPU architecture on my phone with an app, but I could not find the icon for CPU. Instead the apps says I have a Qualcomm snapdragon Kryo, which Wikipedia says it is Arm64. I need this to download the right version of GAPPS.
I just realized I posted to the incorrect group, would someone please move this to the T-Mobile Q&A please? I have looked, and do not see an option for doing this.
Thanks
Hi, as the title says I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T530) with Android 5.0.2 and I wonder if it is possible to have a newer Android version installed on it? Or maybe a custom rom?
I have done some searching but I can't find the required info.
Thanks for any help.
I did search but cannot find anything...help is appreciated.
Nobody who knows?

Hi DJABHipHop,
Thanks for all the work you've done.
I have a Sumsung SM-T530 (matissewifixx)
OS: Lollipop 5.0.2
Bootloader: T530XXU1BQB2
After a quick learning curve I've been following the https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-1-galaxy-tab-4-10-1#Pre-Requirements article:
1) Used Odin3-v3.10.6.exe to root my device
2) Installed the latest TWRP 3.0.0-0-.matisse.img <-- It appears you're using a newer version (TWRP-3.2.3-0_matissewifi-180918.img) - question to follow
3) Attempted (unsuccessfully) to install the lightning-17.1-20201012-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi-Unsweetened-XDA-BUILD
I receive an Error 7 - basically not identifying my device correctly from what the error says
Now the article actually mentions this exact issue...
To install Lineage OS 17.1 on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1, you need to unlock bootloader and running the latest TWRP Recovery. If you are on the old version, you will see error 7 warning text while installing the custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (matisse) device.

3.0.0-0 isn't the latest TWRP. Check https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-matisse-millet-t4019831 and install matisse version. Then, you can install lfr 17.1 or los 16.
And to get more precise informations, check always XDA, not external bad blogs...

Thanks matteo,
Your tip/link has worked I've now upgraded to twrp-3.4.0-3-matisse and the 17.1 OS install has now been successful.
Good advice on the 'external' blogs... my next step is to install the 'GApps', that 'external' blog suggested some more external links to get the right Apps, more confusing for a newbie that the original article...
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have the unofficial LOS 19.1 currently installed. Other than the lack of TWRP, I'm satisfied with it. But I see there are two other options available. official and crDroid. Is there any reason I should switch to one of those two? Are there differences in the recovery versions? If TWRP was available, I'd just make a backup of my current ROM and give the other two a try. But as it stands, getting back to my working current version isn't that simple.
Why do you have unofficial?

To each his own. Personally, I don't care about weekly updates. Unless an update fixes something that I use, or it includes a major security update, I don't care about it. Manually updating every couple of months does it for me.
I am also in unofficial build for now but the official thing is making me wanna try it...but should we just flash it and format data or should be flash recovery provided too?
I would follow LineageOS guide. You will use something other than TWRP. You then use one of LineageOS. This one is quite limited but looks nice (not very important). But I don't need all the features of TWRP, I don't understand it anyway. LOL
