Install update?

I recently installed LineageOS version 14.1-20170403-NIGHTLY-bacon on my oneplus one about two weeks ago. My phone gave me a notification saying there is a new nightly update.
If I download the new update will it automatically install?
I'm new to rooting and installing roms so it took me almost 6 hours to figure out the terminology and I don't want to do that again
Thanks guys take care!

Lineage OS supports OTA. Just download the ROM from the update app and then it will ask you if you want to install, it will run an Openrecovery script and all by itself update. Make sure you have twrp installed.

Rooting Pie?

I have a question. I want to root my phone (upgraded from oreo to pie, stock), but i'm not sure what should i do. Should i use oreo rooting instructions? I can't find any tutorial for rooting on pie. I don't want to change my rom, i just want to have a root and be able do use the magick and modules that's all. It would be nice to have step by step instruction.
I know i have to unlock my bootloader first at htcdev, then install twrp (not sure which twrp and if the installation is same as on oreo?)
In the past i rooted one phone but it was completely different and i almost bricked my device, because some idiot posted wrong link on the forum... There is so many versions of everything and i'm feeling lost in it.

I hope this helps, but Pie is still very new for the HTC U11. Some even are saying that clean flashes of the Pie RUU have flash, camera, and wifi issues. I am currently running the amazing RR-P rom (which is based on pie), but it runs on the latest Oreo RUU. I have no issues with the ROM and I get insane SoT even without battery savings. I am excited for the future of this phone, since I love the hardware navbar (never liked the on-screen one / though my HTC m8 is still a boss, and even the forums there have a very solid Lineage 17.0 (android 10) working on it).

Above is the official link to the US HTC u11 TWRP recoveries. I don't think (to be safer than sorry) these are 100% compatible over the PIE firmware though.
I checked HTCdev, and it doesn't seem to have any difference in the instructions in unlocking the bootloader. No mention of Nougat or Oreo, so I would assume there's no difference in doing the same with Pie.

I flashed my U11 after Pie update, working fine, no problems with flash, wifi or anything else (CID: HTC__034)
1. Unlock bootloader via htcdev
2. Flash latest TWRP from the official site. Instructions here for example: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
3. Flash Magisk (also from official Magisk site)… that was a little trickier, since TWRP can't mount the encrypted partitions. The workaround is to copy the Magisk ZIP onto an SD Card and flash it from there while in TWRP.
4. Enjoy.
I decided to root this U11 for the first time, since I don't expect any futur software updates coming form HTC.

Thank you for all your help, i'll try this out today. :good:

So i did everything and it's working but i have one problem. After installing magisk i tried to install some modules, and one of them caused bootloop and i was unable to delete it, and also i was unable to install module uninstaller (fail). So i had to do factory reset - any solution to avoid this kind of problems in future?
Also i installed xposed successfully, but none of modules was working..

I have no answers, but as u can see a rooted pie is problematic, hence the many people reverting back to oreo and or nougat, but some people somehow make it work. Not me I could not downgrade quick enough after rooting, unrooted pie worked great, but my many 'need for root apps' did not , so back to oreo for me . Just my 2 cents!! Good luck.

I found many working apps. The biggest problem is "substratum", especially when it comes to changing navbar buttons. But gravitybox is working, and I'm happy with it. Thanks for your help

My rooted Pie works fine, but I didn't install Substratum or Xposed.

OOS 9.0.9 needed before updating to Android 10 (FYI)

I was having a bunch of issues updating my phone. I kept receiving a System Update Installation Failed error. I tried local using the zip downloaded directly from OnePlus support and it wouldn't work. It said that there was no update available when trying to use the update setting. Long story short...it just wasn't working. I then proceeded to use the MSM Tool to completely erase and reset the phone. STILL wouldn't work. I randomly came across someone saying you needed OxygenOS 9.0.9 before 10..tried it and it worked perfectly. Sigh.
I wanted to save someone else the hassle and document it here with the error I was receiving. Good luck! I got OOS 9.0.9 HERE if anyone needs it and I'm allowed to link.

@bam099
Thanks for sharing the link for 9.0.9
Out of interest which version were you upgrading from and which version MSM tool were you trying?
My OP6 is still on 9.0.8 as I've not had the inclination to go through the hassle of a full reset to restore to factory (BL is unlocked, TWRP is installed, was rooted but got rid of that due to constant hassle with banking apps detecting root and magisk hide not working for all my bank apps)
Now that 11 is released as stable I'm probs going to to the full return to factory stock and then upgrade straight to 11 (once the early adopters have found the first bugs and OP patch them ) but if 9.0.9 was needed to update to 10.x.x I guess the same will be needed for 11.

Surprisingly I took a little bit of notes so I could go back if I wanted to (and I wouldn't waste time searching for issues like this weird 9.0.9 thing I found). I was on 9.0.6 (Build Number A6003_22_190528).
I would imagine that 9.0.9 is going to be needed to get to 11 (I'm on 11 now but I went from 10 so I'm not positive about what is required).
If you download the stock ROM for 9.0.9 can't you upgrade it? I THINK TWRP can flash the update but I'm sure there's some kind of an issue with an unlocked BL and upgrading via the stock app.
I don't recall what version of the MSM tool I used...I was frustrated at that point and not taking notes haha. I keep remembering 4.0.4 so if that sounds right for MSM then that's what I used. But I think any of the ones you see on a guide would work. Good luck with it!

Question Unable to update to A13 after MSM soft brick recovery on LE2115.

I have an LE2115. I tried to update install CRdroid, and during the process the guide required an upgrade to firmware F18.
I was already on the newest (F20 I think) firmware, so I figured a small roll back would be needed. I downloaded F18 from the CRdroid firmware link, and when it was run it ended up bricking the phone. Annoying, but I didn't think it the end of the world.
To unbrick it I downloaded the MSM global 11.2.10.10 and flashed the phone with A11 (11.2.10.10). I was able to get back into the phone, and everything seemed ok at first glance.
The problem is now I can't install any updates to get it back to android 13.
If I do a system ->system update -> check for updates -> download and install. It says it downloads update LE2115_11.F.17_2170_20021123112, installs it, and reboots.
After rebooting the phone shows a successfully installed update message, but when I look at under About the system is still on Android 11 (11.2.10.10). No change at all.
If I try sticking the OTA zip LE2115_11.F.17_2170_202211231112 in root, and using that for a local update the phone gives me a update failed message after a few seconds. No useful error messages at all.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I can't figure out how to get this off A11 and back to A13 (F18).
This is making me want to rip out my hair as everything I have tried has failed to get me onto a current firmware.

I have the same device. After the 11.2.10.10 comes C48 first a12 build but it's marked F17 update. Then comes C-66 it's also marked F-17. Take it. Next update you guessed is labeled F-17 and it is actually F-17. Android 13. Then you will get F-18 ota as well. Then have to go into oxygen updater from playstore and update to F20. Latest with Jan sec patch. Since they dropped Android 13 all their device updates for op9 are labeled wrong. After msm you started on 11.2.4.4. I flash lineage and mess with things but mostly stay on stock as it's great and cam is good on os. Good luck. Check out pixelify by Kingsman 44. Real nice for op9 also.

Ok. Thanks. I will run the update multiple times, and see if I can get to F18.
I can't believe the naming is all buggered up. Ok, well maybe I can believe it. Seems like OnePlus is just not doing a good job anymore, but there are not many other flagship grade phones with unlocked boot loaders and custom roms anymore (and I have been using custom android roms since the touch pro 2 days). It's making me a sad panda.
I just upgraded from a OnePlus 7t to the 9 because I got a crazy good price for an open box phone on clearance. Now I am starting to wonder if I made the wrong decision.
If I have to download 5+ updates every time something doesn't flash right I am going to burn though my 1TB internet cap in no time.
Update:
After ~10gb of updates I got to F18.
Now to go and get a custom rom on this thing, and hope I don't have to unbrick it again.

Question Any Tmo 2117 users try or use Lineage?

The 2117 model is not mentioned in official compatibility, but all the others are. Any Tmobile users running Lineage or know if it works?

I used it for a bit. Works good as any other device IMO.
Follow This guide on the official page.

Im just iffy on the whole thing- Still on A11 OOS11 and Im hearing Ill possibly need A12 firmware as a base before install? I cant just use TWRP and flash? Its been ages since I went custom (HTC One Cyanogen with CWM, I believe we were able to use TWRP as well back then) and it sounds like you need Lineage Recovery?
Can I follow that guide straight from rooted *BL unlocked A11 OOS11? No updates have been applied to my phone afaik. Disabled right away.

Lineage updates the firmware as part of the install.

Ah thank you! Ill prolly do it after some time. I'm completely happy on 11 for now. Have it debloated and set up with xposed modules and everything.

I've used lineage before on the le2117 but decided to switch to evolution x since it's packed with features

What the battery life like between the two? I dont necessarily need features since I add everything I need with magisk\lsposed. This stock rooted rom Im on now is getting great battery life.

On both installation pages for this and EvoX, it says you need to be on A13 firmware. Is this a hard requirement? Or can I truly just flash my phone as it is currently? Stock root, A11, OOS11?
I cant do OTA updates, nor can I install downloaded updates (via the settings app) either because I converted, or its Magisk or something...
How did you get you Tmos to 13? Were you already updated before rooting? Did the OTA work after root for you? I just get install failed immediately with the downloaded package.
Any input would be appreciated Im in no rush, and I already have a backup setup for after conversion (assuming Migrate works on this phone, seems to so far).
