Hi,
I have a problem installing 8.1 oreo roms on my phone. I follow standard procedure: wipe dalvik, cache, system, data -> install rom + gapps -> wipe cache. After my phone restarts, it displays rom logo, but doesn't load (even after 15-20 minutes of waiting). All I can do is load in fastboot and restore my backup. I use twrp 3.2.1-0, unofficial 8.1 pico gapps from 2018/01/30.
So far I tried:
-Installing rom and gapps separately.
-Installing rom, rebooting, installing gapps.
-Installing rom + gapps, then wiping data.
-Installing rom + gapps, then not wiping anything.
-Factory reset, then install rom + gapps.
-Installing rom + different gapps versions.
Additional notes:
-At one point I successfully installed NitrogenOS (about a month ago) and it is my current rom and backup. But I can't clean flash it again.
-When I install rom only (without any gapps) it boots up fine without errors or long loading.
Can anyone help?
Same problem I am also facing. Using Pixel experience ROM but now not able to flash cosmic official rom...remaining on bootanimation

Thanks for answer. I tried that method too, but it still didn't work for me. I recently tried clean flash with gapps from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3718757 and it worked flawlessly. So maybe it's an issue with some gapps packages?
I also have the exact same problem.
Flashing ROM without gapps works perfectly.
adding gapps package, no matter if its pico aroma or mini, it results in stuck on boot animation.
wiping after flashing also did not work.
once made pixel experience boot, using it since...ota update worked without a problem.
any other suggestions?

Try this nano package https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620771808. It's the only one that worked for me.

ftfy. But before this ensure that:-
1. Non corrupted ZIPs. Avoid if possible from using mobile data. A slower yet stable WiFi yields better success rate.
2. Currently this unofficial opengapps' builds works better and are more current.

I didn't need to format data on Oreo nos
As mentioned in other threads on this topic, I just wanted to mention here as well that I am also affected by these Oreo boot loops and haven't found a solution yet. I somehow managed to get PixelExperience to install once, but downgraded now to a Nougat build for other reasons (better battery and GCamMod compatibility).

I am using 3.2.1-0 twrp. Rom itself flashes fine, it's the gapps that create infinite boot.
Exact Same issue Here...
I have same problem too .. can't boot in to any Oreo ROM with Gapps .. really isn't any solution here?
This might not be a proper solution, but here's what I did:
1) Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system
2) Flash rom + gapps(I used NitrogenOS and pico gapps)
3) Wipe data again and restore data from backup(I restored data from previous build of NitrogenOS, so I don't know if restoring from different rom will be ok)
4) Boot into rom, ignore any "stopped working" errors and go to Settings-System-Reset options-Erase all data(Not sure if this will erase internal storage, backup just in case)
After that phone booted up and and did first time installation.

Can someone upload me some backup? Pixel Experience would be a best ! Thanks a lot
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
I'm facing the same problem. I have a Redmi 3S (international, 3GB version). Doesn't matter what Oreo ROM I try (clean install), they all get stuck in bootloop on boot animation. It doesn't get far enough in the boot process to do a logcat with ADB, so I'm not able to post it.
I'm using TWRP 3.2.1-0 but have tried Red Wolf recovery as well and it yields the same results... I don't think it's a gapps issue since I've tried booting several ROMS without installing gapps.
I have rebooted several times while it's still in the boot process, remounted system in TWRP, wiped everything, ...
If anyone has an idea to get the logs, fire away. Can't boot so can't install liveboot or something like that.
bump
any solution?
The Problem still occurs...
Flashed PE successfully once, but since i went Back to official Nougat lineage os, No Oreo Roms can be booted with gapps
Hello Guys,
I have been using xXx NoLimits 4.8 rom that is based on Oxygyn 4.5.15 ( android version 7.1.1) and now I would like to try Lineage 14.1.
I have TWRP 3.2.1 Blue Spark V8.61.
I wiped Data, Cache, System and Dalvik and flashed Lineage 14.1 and then flashed the addon supersu 64bit and then wipe dalvik and cache again and rebooted but the phone never booted into system. It kept on rebooting to the recovery or stuck in a bootloop.
I removed the PIN before I flashed Lineage 14.1 and my data partition is NOT encrypted
Any idea on what I am missing here?
Thanks
I had the same problem and I can't remember where I got the file from. But u flash it and the bootloop is gone this is what worked for me.

NOT encrypted mean you're decrypted? So with supersu you don't need to flash no verity, but instead of supersu try magisk and the no verity
Thanks

Thanks. This worked!
I have been researching the issue and I found out that since my DATA partition is decrypted and Lineage OS is an encrypted rom then bootloop occurs.
Thanks

Correct. I meant to say that my data partition is decrypted.
What I ended up doing is flashing supersu addon from Lineage website followed by Magisk and then flashed no verity and everything works well so far
I also tried flashing supersu addon followed by no verity and it works too ( I wanted to give it a shot in case I decided I did not want to use magisk)
Thanks again for the tip!
i follow the instructions as per omnirom thread... flash the vendor/firmware, wipe data , reboot recovery, and flash the rom, but the omni rom does not boot at all and just shows the OMNI sign on/off. How should i proceed?
Which ROM were you on? What Firmware were you on? Were you Encrypted? Did you only Wipe /Data or did you wipe everything?

Lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1)
I first flashed OOS stock firmware, then OOS, then LOS.
I format data and then wipe dalvik cache, cache, data, system.

Is your Recovery up to date? I'd recommend the latest Codeworkx TWRP. Did you already have the Vendor partition on your device before attempting to flash Omnirom?
If in doubt flash full OOS 5.1.3 and OTA all the way up to and including 9.0.1. Then reinstall TWRP by fastboot, wipe and format everything and then flash Omni.

I still tried, it does not work. My phone got bricked, so I used MSM tool to unbrick and after that I got Nougat 7.1.1. I upgrade my Android to 8.0 (OOS 5.1.3) from system update, and after that update another one came, Android 8.1.1 ( OOS 5.1.7). I then unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash vendor/firmware, wipe data, flash Omnirom but I get stuck into the omni loading screen. The phone does not load.

Okay, i'm not seeing anything about a Format operation there. Wipe does not equal Format. I've just finished setting up Omnirom 9 on my own OP5, so it does work. (Great ROM btw)
Backup everything from Internal Storage to your PC, including all the installation files. The following will wipe your storage!
1) Boot into TWRP
2) Wipe Menu, Advanced, Select all Partitions manually and Wipe
3) Wipe Menu, Format. (Type Yes when prompted)
4) Reboot Menu, Reboot Recovery
5) Copy Installation files from PC to Internal Storage
6) Install Menu, Queue up and install zips in the following order:
i) Vendor/Firmware
ii) ROM
iii) Gapps
7) Wipe Dalvik/Cache when prompted
8) Reboot
9) Set up and done.

The only difference between the two of us that i can see is that i flashed OOS 9.0.1 and booted into it once before doing the steps above.
Don't know if it's relevant but the Vendor/Firmware that i used was 9.0.1 also:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11o0FxZ_rw5lhthGz8_iyYEXBt0dwiv3x
Make sure you nuke everything before starting. Wipe and Format everything. Move installation files across and follow steps.

I flashed OOS first and booted everything and I followed the steps and got everything right, but still I get stuck with a bootloop that does not load OmniROM.
Works fine for me;
Flashed the latest OxygenOS. Now you dont need to worry about flashing firmware later in the process.
Enabled unlocking the bootloader in developer menu.
Rebooted into bootloader and flashed the recovery image from clockworkx and booted into twrp recovery.
Wiped everything and formatted data as well.
Reboot recovery.
Flashed rom. I always use sideload but that should not matter. Dont flash anything else; first reboot into your working system.
Hello all,
My apologies if this has been asked before. A while back I successfully installed LineageOS 14 on my S4 i9505.
I would like to install the newer version of LineageOS but I am not sure on how to do this if I have already installed an older version.
I would like to do a clean install, aka reformatting the phone with the latest version.
Do I have to reformat the device first to the original officially supported manufacturer's Android version (Android Lollipop) or is there a way to reformat the device directly to the newer version of LineageOS? How can I do this?
Can somebody please help me with this?
Just download the rar file that contains the latest version of lineageOs, flash it together with the gapps nano or pico, the clean installation is to do wipe data, wipe cashe and wipe internal memory, only leave external memory and usb otg unchecked

Thanks for the help. Where do I put the lineageOS and gapps files? I don't have an external SD card. I recall using a PC software back then but is it also possible to flash the ROM without using the PC and without having an SD card?

I read that clean installation (wiping internal memory) is also possible using a usb stick with the rom connected to the device through OTG without the need of an external SD card. Is this correct?

Yes, you can have the ROM, GApps etc in any other external drive which can be connected with ur device in TWRP so you can be able to flash it.
You can also wipe everything first and then connect your device to PC while u are in TWRP and transfer the ROM, GApps etc to your clean Internal Storage and then flash.

Ok I've got a problem.
So I've clean installed LineageOS 17.1 for the S4 I9505 along with GApps pico through OTG (from a previous older LineageOS version 14.1) after wiping internal memory, system, Dalvik cache and cache. The installation went succesfull but the phone now infinitely keeps rebooting back into TWRP recovery mode after a long while of showing the LineageOS 17.1 loading icon. Even though I have selected to reboot the System. Using TWRP 3.2.3-0.
- Tried reinserting the battery and boot into Download mode and then cancel but this also doesn't break the loop.
- Wiping Davlik as well as cache also didn't break the loop.
What gives?

Be sure you are on the latest Modem & Bootloader.
Download ROM and GApps Pico ARM and move them on your external drive.
Reboot to TWRP:
Select Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe.
Connect your device while you are in TWRP with your External Drive which has the ROM and GApps and transfer them on the clean Internal Storage.
Flash ROM and GApps (Pico)
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Reboot Enjoy!
I’ve just picked up a new Samsung Galaxy Tab s6 Lite and installed LineageOS on it. I’m using TWRP 3.5.0.
All was working great until today. I was using LineageOS 17.1 nightly 20210310 and had OpenGApps installed.
Today an update was available for Lineage so I updated using the Setup app. The upgrade went well but killed GApps.
I decided to do a fresh flash. I was having a problem with Android Audio which appears to be caused by OpenGApps. I’ve read that NikGApps doesn’t have this problem.
I copied the latest Lineage zip and NiksGApps zip to the device using ADB and booted into recovery. I used advanced wipe to remove the existing install. I’m only seeing options to wipe dalvik/ART Cache, Metadata, cache, data, internal storage, micro sd card, and usb otg. There is no system option. I wiped dalvik, metadata, cache, and data. I successfully flashed both Lineage and NiksGApps.
When I booted I found a very unstable system. Google services and apps crashed all the time.
I used the Format Data option this time followed by a wipe of the same four partitions. I rebooted back to recovery and installed LineageOS again. During the Lineage flash NiksGApps were backed up and restored. This surprises me. How could the data be available for backup after a format?
I’ve reflashed multiple times. I’ve tried both 17.1 and Linux4’s unofficial build of 18.1. I’ve tried OpenGApps and NiksGApps. I can’t get a stable install. I have had several flashes that wouldn’t even boot (booted into recovery). I'm currently in a non-booting state now.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something wrong with TWRP? Should I use Lineage Recovery?
Thanks,
Bob

It's very likely caused by TWRP, I said multiple times to NOT use TWRP for installing OTAs exactly because of things like this.
TWRP is now discontinued anyways
