I accidentally started downloading the 2.3.6 update and o don't even want to update because I want to keep root, anyway to cancel the download?
I am not sure if you have used CWM but i had done a nanodroid back up before i had pressed the update button. So i restored the old back up and now i have no problems with the update.
There's two steps to the update process- download and install. Once it downloads it asks if you want to install. You can say "no" and I think it will prompt you every hour or something. If you want it to stop prompting you to install the update, you will have to be rooted. You can either delete the update file (it's the only .zip file that's located in the /cache directory) or you can freeze the following apps: "2.3.5 updater and upgrader 1.0.0" (thanks unsivil_audio).
I have a G2 with stock D80120e firmware (4.4.2), which is rooted.
I messed up my Google Play services with Titanium Backup. :/ Now I get the error "A program requires the installation of Google Play services". I found a place to install it as an APK (because Play Store doesn't work now), but I need to know what version.
I suppose another way to fix it would be flashing with a fresh GApps install, from recovery. I can't do it in recovery though, because TWRP can't mount an encrypted partition. So that's out, unless I can get that working.
If all else fails, I'd have to ruin an otherwise good setup by flashing a stock KDZ and starting from scratch. No, just no.
Found out that version -X30 is "universal" and will solve this problem. You can download it from APK mirror. By looking at the file descriptions, I surmised that there is a universal version for Lollipop/5.0 minimum, and one for Android 2.3+, which is the one I used:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-0-99-1809214-030-android-apk-download/
Just side load it with the APK installer and breathe a sigh of relief. Now if I could figure out what the deal is with TWRP and encrypted partitions -- I thought this problem had been fixed long ago.
Good morning to all,
I think I posted this thread in the wrong place and I'm sorry for this, so I post it here now.
I flashed my SM-P905 with Lineage 15.1 using TWRP 2.8.7.0.
I have installed the correct OS (viennaltexx) and the correct gapps (arm 8.1 super) but I was having an issue with Google Play Services that was continuously stopping and this didn't allow me to set the google account and to get access to all the play services, so I decided to retry to flash the OS and gapps, I wiped everything but the sd card, but now when I try to flash the OS it stops on "no md5 file found" (no error 7) and it goes back to the TWRP home.
Now I've installed the 14.1 Lineage OS (again wiping everything but the sd card) and it is very stable and fast and gives only 1 problem:
- the fact that I can't install the SuperSU and it causes the CM S Pen app fail to work, because lacking of root access. When I flash the file (file name "addonsu-14.1-arm-signed") everything goes well, but when I reboot the system the SuperSU app is missing. I activated the access for APP and ADB in the developer options but it still doesn't work;
This system would be completely satisfying with S Pen functions.
But I would try to install Oreo just beacause I would like to try the porting created by Alexis, with the Note 9 apps.
Can someone please help me? Thank you very much!

Try upgrading your TWRP to a newer version (3.1.1 seems to be popular version) and flash everything again. 2.8.7 is a very old version for TWRP, and might not handle the 15.1 stuff well.

Hi rhricik, thank you very much for your response.
I tryed to find the .tar file to install it with Odin, but I failed, I only find the IMG files. Do you know how to install the newer version using the IMG file and the TWRP app in Android (if it is possible ti do) or do you have a link to a .tar file?
I tryed to flash the image with the recovery, but when I go to the download folder i tap on "images" but I can't see the file. I can see it in the archive, but not in recovery mode.
Thank you again!

I found only the TWRP 3.0.2 as the latest version for Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. I converted the img file to .tar and it worked, but when I go to instal the OS it still stops on md5 file not found.
Is it safe to use a TWRP 3.2.2 for another device?
Otherwise I could try to flaash the system using Odin. Is it possible?

Hi bemanet, thank you very much! The 3.2.2 version of TWRP is successfully installed.
At least now I know what the problem is.
When I flash the system I obtain this response now:
" Skipping Digest Check: no Digest file found
Zip file is corrupt!
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/oreo/lineage-15.1-20180708-UNOFFICIAL-viennalte.zip'
Updating partition details...
... done "
So maybe there must be some problem with the file structure.
Anyway thank you very much for your help.
Regards
You may need to re-download the file. It may be corrupt....

Yes i tried but the file results unavailable, maybe for fixing. I'll try again later!
Thank you very much!
Meanwhile, do you know why I find impossible on Lineage 14.1 to install a different keyboard? I tried to install the Samsung keyboard and another different keyboard with CTRL and arrows keys (both installations went good) but both times when I went to select the keyboard It gave me only the gboard.
Plus, when I try to open the gboard settings the app crashes, so I would like to change it.
Thank you again!

Try Hacker's Keyboard from the Play Store - has all the control and arrow keys. That's been my main keyboard across 5 devices. Works well.

Follow the directions that Hacker's Keyboard gives to get it set up as your default keyboard

Wow thank you very much rhricik, it is perfect!
I excedently did something that removed the Playstore. Now when I install a apk, I can't download any apps, and if I try to it will crash. I've tried to use open gapps but didn't work. I got a error message when installing it with TWRP. So how can I fix this? Or is there a other way to get the Playstore back? (I am on Android 9)
it sounds like you're on stock, in that case flashing the rom should get you your playstore back
I have a Google Pixel I had gotten used I have been using it stock on Android 10.
But seeing as how the security updates won't be comnig anymore I wanted to keep it secure in the future with Lineage OS and TWRP to update it regularly.
I followed the instructions here:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sailfish/install
I have gotten the loader unlocked and it wiped my phone. But I can't get TWRP to work.
The downloads for the TWRP version for Pixel doesn't have an IMG file to load and trying to load the individual files in the archive does not seem to work. I also tried renaming the zip file and it did not work.
Here is the download page.
https://dl.twrp.me/sailfish/twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.3.0-0.zip.html
I can't seem to find any guides on how to do this. I want to keep my pixel up to date with the latest Android 10 updates and the only way will be loading the latest roms manually via TWRP. Please help.
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ also doesn't seem to apply
Anybody have any ideas?
Uh, how did you miss the files here? dl.twrp.me/sailfish/
.img files right there dude, and if you go to the page before the download page on the TWRP site (twrp.me/google/googlepixel.html), it tells you how to install it or just boot it temporarily.
Extracting the .zip files is super wrong.
Edit: also in my recent experience (the other day), the latest version of TWRP for Pixel (twrp-3.3.1-0-sailfish.img) doesn't seem to handle encrypted storage properly (it wasn't prompting me for my PIN), so use the version before that (twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img).
Yeah I was blind.
I have some other issues though. After installing Lineage I can't seem to push the google services or root capabilities to the SDCARD before booting into the OS. And booting into the OS means it's too late. And doing a wipe to install them properly erases the contents of /SDCARD/
A real ***** of a situation.
Also the default Lineage OS recovery (if attempting it instead of TWRP) doesn't seem to allow installing via files and can't pull properly with ADB either.
