So I did a big mistake. I tried to install OmniROM - the Android Q based one from XDA.
Turns out, it's a big mess. Not trying to attack the developer because whatever - maybe I messed up.
My partitions got messed up as well it seems.
Point is: I ended up with a bricked phone.
I tried everything (and I mean that). In the end, I used the Qualcomm MSM Tool to flash a v9 update.
My phone booted up. All good, right?
Well, I wanted to install Lineage 16 all along, so I started with that at this point.
oem unlock, copy up the .zip, boot twrp, flash image.
Also very good, no errors. Yay!
Here comes the twist.
Upon install LOS, I read you must flash a GApps pack too. No worries, I grabbed one, pushed to the /sdcard/ location and tried to flash it.
Not enough space. On a 256 gb wiped phone. Interesting. But there is a log.
And this shocked me.
Code:
ROM Android version | 9
ROM Build ID | omni_guacamole-eng 16.1.0 PQ3B.190801.002 eng.mauron.20191115.213714 test-keys
ROM Version increment | 1907281556
ROM SDK version | 28
ROM/Recovery modversion | OmniROM-9-20191115-guacamole-HOMEMADE
Device Recovery | TWRP 3.3.1-72-26af64d9
Basically, the Omni junk is still on there somehow - even after the MSM flash, even after I upgraded to the latest Android Pie build before attempting all this. So I am fairly sure my partitions are messed up indeed. But how do I fix this? How can I re-create the factory / normal state?
Ps.: Attached the full log.
Stock factory reset? Twrp factory reset? I know you're thinking, if msm didn't work this won't. I am too. But you didn't mention and it sounds like it's worth a shot.

In my case, no, the MSM Tool, the full OTA image, etc... they all ended up being installed in a broken state.
I'll try the toolkit now. To be fair I tried to use the All In One kit multiple times in the past but I have been warned against it several times on the forums and on the XDA/OnePlus Discord servers. That said, there is not much to lose I suppose.
So.
I did everything but it's still broken. Guess I'll have to send the phone to OP at this rate. Thanks """developer""" guy.
- Flashed with MSM. That put me back to 9.
- Flashed the latest OOS as recommended on top.
- Used official downgrade package to 9 that put my phone to AA from BA.
- Used the latest OOS9 BA package - as recommended by OP, that put my phone on latest OOS9 & correct version.
- Booted TWRP, flashed LOS16 (I am on latest OOS9 at this point), great.
- Tried flashing OpenGapps... same error. Same Omnirom message. (not enough space)
So yea, the partitions are pretty much broken ever since I installed Omni 10.
GG, one more broken phone thanks to the rom. How can this site and moderators tolerate this?

Why so salty? Also since msm resets your device to the factory stage, I'm pretty sure it's twrp that's messing things up. It's also funny how you said that you're not trying to attack the devs, then you blatantly attack them a few posts later. The devs are pretty much doing everything for free.
Edit: Just checked your logs and surprise surprise! You're using twrp 3.3.1-72, the one that was known to cause issues! Use .70 or .74, and how about you do some research before blatantly attacking the dev, Mr. "Senior Member".

I have nothing but respect to the real developers of XDA. Would help them in any way I just can and I am grateful for their work.
However, check the OP in Omni 10's thread. I'd call that person anything, but a "developer". That person does not belong to this crowd in my book.
Anyhow, let's get back to the main topic. I managed to fix everything up and recovered the phone.
Once I upload everything to a mirror I'll update the thread with info.
Thanks for the twrp tip by the way.
The best way I find is use a fastboot rom with flash all. I like to boot to twrp first format data then boot back to bootloader and the use the flash all file inside whatever fastboot rom I decide to use

Which Gapps package are you trying to flash? Because the Google apps packages are not supported in any way by LineageOS.
https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html
Also if you go into twrp and then in the advanced wipe menu, there is provisions to resize your file system. I have had to use that in the past in order to be able to flash gapps, exactly as you described. Just swipe to resize the partition. Should fix your problem (provided you are installing the correct gapps in the first place).

Alright, This is just because I am trying to take precautions so that way I do not end up with a brick.
Currently I am rocking 5.1 PAC-MAN and things are going well. But LineageOS for MM for 6045 came already and I want to use that as my daily driver.
Here is where I run into a problem. For those of you that know I only have LP radios and modems on my system. Main problem I am having and is keeping me from flashing is the lack of a MM radio and or modem. Is there anyone that is on 6045O that had tried this out without having that lockscreen problem?
If you don't flash the MM radios, you will end up with lock screen issues, unfortunately.
-EDIT-
So apparently I can't read. I have the 6045O and this link has the correct modem files to fix the lock screen issues.
https://mega.nz/#F!u0UBAICD!DzKYnswfK5J6dw5WQNgEDg
6.0.1 modem is the file you need.

Attempted. Everything but the pin issue is good. Weird how it trips badly with the PIN. Installing SuperSU as we speak.
EDIT: Looped after SuperSU flash..
EDIT2: Going back to 5.1. Thank you very much for the support.

While playing around with ROMs for the phone I had some odd issues here and there. As far as the SuperSU flash, it almost always loops a couple times during the reboot process, but I've switched to the lineageOS official su addon because I like native support and root management. Also it never did those initial boot loops. When I did have an issue (just recently, in fact) I ran a wipe of the system partition, then installed the rom, and ran the repair file system option in TWRP, and since then it's been smooth as butter. If you're interested in giving it another go, just let me know and I should be able to link you the files, as they're on my google drive.

May I ask one more thing? Have you ever gotten the PIN lock or password or pattern lock to work?
EDIT: Nvm. Using Hi-Locker for now. All is good.
I use a pattern lock on mine, and after flashing the modem files, the lock screen functions as it should with all methods. Consider re-flashing the modem and ROM if you get to where you want to play with it, full wipe prior, no dirty flash.
Release 1 is posted.

beta 2 uploaded
dt2w works, bluetooth audio works, camcorder works.
wifi still partially broke and is a wip. after that its on to lineage os 15 for the h631
wifi works now and the end? of lineage 14.1 dev is here. everything seems to work now
release 1 is posted in the op.
Awesome work! I've finally got me a full featured daily driver
I still got my OG Stylo lying around somewhere. Guess I'll give this ROM a try...
After attempting to reboot after installing, I got a "Kernel Crash!" error. Now my Wi-Fi won't work after restoring a Nandroid backup. Good thing the OG Stylo isn't my primary phone, anymore.
EDIT: I just realized Bluetooth is busted, too.
EDIT 2: After reading from sources outside of XDA, the firmware should have definitely been on v20k before flashing this. Oh well. I might check into attempting to fix the issues, one day.
But ever since I moved on to the OnePlus 5, I only use the OG Stylo as an alarm clock. As long as that still functions, at least it won't end up in the dumpster.
Gave this ROM a go. VERY pleased! WiFi had a hiccup but now working. I can connect to Bluetooth but can not hear audio. Any others come across this? I'm on the metro version of the Stylo.
Thanks in advance.

I have a MS631 (MetroPCS).
S/W : MS63120p
Is it possible to install and any plan to post Official Release (14.1 or 15 later)?
Thanks..
This is cool... hoping to get a Google-less minimal fernsprecher going, but this time (compared to your other 14.1 build) I can't see any providers-- just 'error while searching for networks.' Now I'm guessing the reason is the same in both cases-- I started from wrong official ROM. Can anyone point to a 63120k kdz? All the old links I found yet are dead
ed: Tried to prove to myself that a kdz was even useful. I have a few wrong kdz sitting around still-- 10j, 20b, 20l. LG Flash Tool wouldn't actually change anything, ever, no matter what. ("Consult your system administrator". Well, he's me... baka.) And LGUP looked like it was doing great the first time, right up until it gave me back a shiny brick (QHSUSB__BULK), so ...maybe later?
:: phasepalm ::
ed-2: found https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-ms631-firmwares/ so now all I have to do is get QFIL to do anything.
I love this OS. I removed the Nexus launcher and installed the new pixel 2 launcher in its place though. Every now and again I have to disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth. But that's not really a problem for me. WiFi sometimes drops but reconnect. I can't wait for the new lineage OS.
Any update?

Nope, because the OP's phone was destroyed.
On another note: I was also able to get my OG Stylo up and running again with LG Bridge yesterday, with the latest official update (Marshmallow). I might try this ROM again, one day.

Hey there I got it. What I did was I hooked up to LG Bridge and let LG do the repair from the upgrade repair button and it got my phone back to square one which was fine. From there i unlocked the bootloader and booted from TWRP 2.8.7.1 image file and then once inside TWRP I installed version TWRP 3.2.0-0 recovery from the zip file. At that point I then was able to do an advanced wipe and wipe out the system and then do the lineage install from there. Once that worked I wiped it out and installed CyanogenMod just to see if it will go on as well and it did. So I went back and wipe that out and put the lineage OS back on there with the opengapps and it's running flawlessly! I also installed magisk to root it and everything is running fine. The only thing I miss from the LG part of the software was the knock on knock off feature. And I downloaded a tap on tap off app for that but you can't use any other locks with it. but I'm good, and thanks! Because I hated that stock operating system with all the bloatware even though MetroPCS didn't have as much garbage as the T-Mobile or other versions but still now I can control Play Store and everything else. I in fact use APK pure to get most of my apps if I can find the software there.
Hey I got my LG g Stylo and might use it again with lineage on it. I need to understand you're flashing a nougat custom rom over a mm stock room and it works? Also, I have 20o and in reading I see 20k is the requirement? Hope to hear feedback, thanks in advance. And can anybody tell me how they got twrp 3.0.2 on the stylo? I can't seem to do it with an unlocked bootloader via adb.

Your best bet is (very likely) to back up stuff and wipe it all out. I use SMS Backup Restore, manually export contacts, copy the files to SD, etc. Then to answer your other question-- root using apk from Kingroot.net which works but it loses root every time you reboot. So before you do, you can use Flashify to flash TWRP onto recovery, also run TitaniumBackup once and put everything on SD card. Then with TWRP running you could install SuperSU zip onto the stock rom and it actually sticks, but you would (make yet another backup and) wipe the phone before starting fresh with Lineage and then restoring your stuff piecewise. That was last year, though, might have forgotten something. Like it's hard to remember but I *think* you can skip the Kingroot & Flashify routine altogether, just reboot to fastboot and on the computer 'fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x.x.img' to boot it once-- even though it won't flash it directly. Then 'adb push twrp-x.x.x.x.img /sdcard' and then inside TWRP, flash it using [Install Image] under [Install] instead of the usual zip file. HTH

The phone is bricked now. I did a fastboot boot twrp and installed magisk zip. Then installed flashify and flashed twrp image. Then formatted data and installed the lineage os and it didn't go through. I was in a hurry so I didn't backup the stock ROM. And so I pulled the battery and put it in download mode and flashed kdz. And when it finished the screen went black and shows no signs of life no matter what I do.
Hello there.
I'm using tulip for few months now. One of first things that I've done, have been unlocking device, rooting it and put stock rom with root access on it. So far, so good. I did not encounter any serious glitches etc, but now I would like to finally upgrade miui to 11 (currently having 10.3).
And there's my problem. I would love to dodge making clean installation (wipe data etc) and I do not wish to risk to bootlooping my phone. I've read on some threads (older ones, but still) that you cannot simply install ota update in system, because due to changed recovery (I do have TWRP instead of fabric one) you will cause bootloop. I've tried alternative method of installing zip BY twrp, but program says, that it encounter a problem called "package expects build fingerprint (...) of tulip 0/PKQ1.180904.001/V10.3.2.0.PEKMIXM or PKQ1.180804.001/V11.0.2.0; this device has omni_tulip/tulip:8.1.0/OPM8.181105.002/1", and then sait, that in had error 7.
Is it simply wrong rom being installed and I have to choose something that is being named the same way and supports ota, or is there a way to go more swiftly through this process? If so and I should pick rom with ota - what to choose? I like deep level customisation, but compatibility with google store, being able to use store, payments and paid apps, instead of "opening them" by some lucky patchers kind of apps.
OR MAYBE I just need to change recovery from TWRP to something different - like PBRP f.e.? Just like this thread says - https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...how-to-setup-official-miui-breeaking-t3893703
Just a quick update - changing twrp to pbrp does not change anything in upgrade process - still get the same error, now just without telling me, which version do I have.
Also, what's interesting, apparently twrp said to me that I do have android 8.1, but "about phone" in system says, that its android 9 (9PKQ1.180904.001 to be exact).
That's werid, because everywhere I check, phone says "android 9" as a version of it.
Have you tried wiping system and installing?

Not yet. I've found method of flashing via PBRB with usage of downloaded file and one option check, but I'm not gonna try it, unless I do a backup of my apps. If that won't work, I'll perform a clean instalation and choose rom that supports ota.
well, I've tried to do this with the method, that I've described before, but this did not ended successfully. I'll look for rom with ota update possibility and then install it most likely. Apps had backup, so I lost almost nothing.
It worked. I had to download bigger patch (1.7 GB, instead of circa 700 MB, that I've tried before), I also had to use method described here -> https://c.mi.com/thread-1782169-1-1.html (pitch black recovery, instead of twrp + one tweak in options). Start after flash was very long (it took like 10 minutes or so), but it booted successfully in the end. Not sure which rom I do have after all, but as far as I remember it was so close to stock, as possible (with only few extra options and tweaks). So yea, it just works.
Hey guys., I have the power, and unlocked bootloader, it took a minute because in or of practice, but on stock ROM was able to install twrp, and magisk and rooted. I made a backup. Phone was running fine. I Dodd something and now my back up well not load. Also this a/ b slot thing is ffing with me. I followed guides, but still don't quite get it. I'm running RR official right now, and it works. But I don't believe it's fine correctly. How can I get my backup to work, and clear things. I mean a 3 gig install should not be using 9 gigs.

If you goal is to use the device in an unlocked state you don't really need to worry about a stock backup it is good you took one but still. I wouldn't know why your backup would restore unless the device is encrypted. However all you should really need to do to get things going on Resurrection Remix is do an advanced wipe of everything and then flash rom+ gapps then setup afterwards flash magisk and you're off. If internal storage is an issue consider a different rom or gapps package Rr is a big rom with lots of customizations I'm not saying there isn't any issue but it would take up some room thats for sure.
Cheers!
Cant flash twrp nor the patched magisk boot img to both slot a and b.
Bootloader is unlocked.
Flashing scripts via .bat files for stock zips of both android 10 and 12 results in "FAILED (remote: Partition product not found)" or "FAILED (remote: variable not found)" respectively.
I have no recovery.
When I had twrp, I've made the mistake of wiping my whole android 12 data, storage, and system and flashing an android 10 rom without reading up of the separate a and b boot slots nor the effects of my actions leading to bootlooping. (I've done with this other devices before with no problems). This in turn wiped the twrp recovery I had flashed and left me only fastboot commands and a twrp version up to 3.3 and 3.2 with no hope of getting usb otg to work as it was only available with the later versions of twrp and since I and now technically on an android 10 bootloader, any attempt at that time to flash twrp 3.6 was met with a (remote: Error calling AvbLoadAndVerifyBootImages Load Error) or some kind of other error I have no logs for. Now I cant even tetherboot to twrp 3.2 nor 3.3 and I get that error regardless.
[Boots to bootloader no matter what. Shows as UFS:Micron, Error reason - reboot bootloader - bootloader version is b1c1-0-4-7617406]
I believe I can get access to internal storage to flash these updates once I get a recovery tethered from the bootloader. I do not know if its possible to boot to fastbootd or whatever its called (used for write permissions/sideload update zips) even if I hadn't gotten into this predicament. I will be buying another Pixel 3 in the meantime as I have money to burn and like to hurt myself financially, and emotionally to get to my goal with this device. ( Didn't buy another one, I was committed to the cause!)
I am not a noob nor a pro, but somewhere in between. My biggest point of failure is not reading up on how the partitions are set up and the various issues others had when flashing android 10 and 11 roms. Any suggestions other than "uPdAtE tHe fAsTbOoT aNd AdB dRiVeRs" are not welcomed. Thank you. I will update once I find a soluton to my problem Which I Will.
Again, my main concern right now is getting tethered twrp to work again and need suggestions. I have older versions of platform tools and the latest so please non of those comments I see on literally every other thread.
Edit: I didn't mention this before, but I did have the ability yo sideload when I had twrp at the time before crapping everything out the window, but nothing would work and gave up. Just wanted to add if anyone was wondering.
First update, I used the propriatary "Tool All In One Tool" and I was able to boot to fastbootd, and wipe my data and storage, while updating my stock zip to android 12. Now I can tetherboot twrp 3.6.1_11-0 with the option for usb otg, wish me luck boys. I'm in.
Second update. Still stuck on first update, but weighing my options in the meantime. I flashed twrp via the flash current twrp option, but when I boot to it, touch is disabled so thats great... I can fast boot to only the twrp versions after 3.6+, so not so bad. I have no os installed, but I will try my hand again at that tool all in one tool again. I'll update tomorrow if anything comes of it.
3rd update. FROM THE BRINK OF DEATH!!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I got the pixeldust rom flashed and working like a BOSS!!!!! You won't believe the 2 days I've had trying to get this thing to work. All in all 1 out of my 3 flashdrives finally worked with otg. I had a windows recovery drive premade on it so I just copied and pasted the files there without a hitch! Thank you Google for having to make me miss work and actually do research to get this thing working again! Thank you for the guys at Tool All In One Tool for making this recovery possible, I will shout out your thread. If anyone who's in a similar situation needs any help from me or any info, I'll be glad to help. This will be the second to last update. I can also make phone calls and use data so Pixel Dust rom is good to go if that was one of your concerns. See ya!
Final update, I got crdroid flashed with root and safetynet passed, I just found out that google Pay was imbedded in gapps so now I don't need the pay app anymore to do transactions! My banking app also works, got vanced finally installed (couldn't do it on regular stock ROM) some glitches with the ROM here and there but no worries. For who ever reads this. There's hope. I fd up as bad as you can get shy of a hard brick. I still don't know too much but learned near twice as much as I knew just a few days ago. If you need help just DM me and I'll work my hardest to bring the light. This phone is absolutely amazing and on god wished google was a better company to praise. I have more plans for these phones and hope more Roms come out to support it.
I have one question however, how do I make a backup of my system/system_ext partitions? I can make a back up of everything else but that with these two Roms... I have a backup of it with my stock ROM, but it resumed to mount when I used otg... Didn't try internal yet but I'll assume the same, is it a glitch with current twrp?
