I just flashed Lineage OS on my OPO. Y was previously running stock, rooted CyanogenOS.
After flashing, I accidentally booted the system (before flashing Gapps). I rebooted into recovery, and once there I tried flashing Gapps. However, I got a message (not an error in red font) saying I haven't enough space in my system partition.
Any idea on how to fix this? I already tried wiping dav/cache/system and flashing LOS again, no dice. Also I deleted several Gbs from the file manager.
E: The error was #70, and I was using Nano Gapps.
Try nano or pico gapps.

Use a lower size gapps or aroma gapps so that you can choose required apps to install.
Also,flash rom+gapps together because of changes from MM you can't reboot to system and then flash gapps,that will give you fc's..
However if you anytime forget to flash Gapps(always case with me ),and say you setup everything and you don't want to do it all over again,you can just take a nandroid backup of your current rom and then restore it again and then flash gapps and reboot.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll try with the pico one, although I'm concerned I might be missing something? Can I flash the aroma package using TWRP?

Yes you can,just make sure you don't select too much apps as you'll again see errors.
Lately ROM's zips are getting bigger, the system partition is not. Fotunatly OpenGapps zipps are modular through a .txt config file easily editable. Have a look here.
You can place the gapps-config file in /sdcard/Open-GApps/gapps-config.txt

I am using this one with stock package so that aosp apps gets removed (attachment below)
My OP6 is running an unofficial build of LineageOS 15 on top of the OOS 5.1.6 firmware. It was set up using TWRP 3.2.2-0, but the install process I used required replacing TWRP with the stock recovery on both A & B before it would boot properly.
Recently, after swapping SIMs (coincidence?), it's been refusing to boot to a usable state. It stops booting before it gets to the unlock screen, in a halfway state where the volume control works but nothing else. This unofficial setup has been a bit of hack and I've long meant to rebuild it, so I don't really want to dedicate time to fixing whatever's been corrupted.
Instead, I'd like to backup the currently encrypted data partition, and put an official LineageOS 16 build on it.
Should be simple enough, but TWRP 3.2.2-0 won't decrypt the data partition, instead giving a password failed error. I think there was a bug or incompatibility at the time. I've tried fastboot boot on TWRP 3.2.3-0 through 3.3.1-2 in the stock, blu_spark, and mauronofrio builds, but none of them will boot, instead giving a solid notification light.
I'm speculating that the issue is a firmware mismatch.
My plan is to:
Update firmware to the latest OTA (34?) for OOS 9
Fastboot boot twrp 3.2.3 or 3.3.1 (not sure which will work) to decrypt and backup data
Follow the instructions in the LineageOS 16 official thread to get on a more stable configuration
Anything I'm missing?
I don't think it would work. Different installations have different decryption keys, so you cannot decrypt your encrypted data from one installation to another. Besides, I don't think it's possible to backup encrypted data (not sure). Also, with a major OS upgrade, like from LOS 15 to LOS 16, it's not advisable to dirty flash upgrade; it's better to start clean.
Best you can do is back up your data using Titanium Backup or Swift Backup then copy it to a computer, and include all your other files in the internal storage. I use Swift Backup when migrating ROMs. Swift Backup includes free trial, you can take advantage of that. This of course, would only work if you are rooted.

I don't plan to backup encrypted data. I plan to decrypt it (using a compatible version of TWRP) and then make my backup using TWRP's nandroid backup (or hell, just a file copy of the important stuff).

I'm not proposing to do a dirty flash, but to start clean. But I'd rather not start clean until after I've backed up the (currently inaccessible) encrypted data.
I haven't made the time to tackle this but I may try it out tonight.
Right now I can boot from TWRP, but it's an older version and it won't decrypt Data. I think a newer version would, but the newer versions won't boot (fails with a black screen and blue notification LED). I suspect the newer TWRP requires newer firmware.
My plan is:
Flash firmware only (not the OS, just firmware for modems, etc)
Boot from the most recent TWRP
Decrypt Data, and use TWRP's backup or ADB to grab files I want to backup
Do a clean installation of Lineage16
If I'm wrong I'll lose a few months of data that didn't get backed up.
Step 0: introduction
Hello everyone. As you may or may not know, after unlocking, rebranding, updating and patching our P9's, we can now install a part of a big universe of brand new Treble ROMs into our devices. An example of that kind of ROMs is the OpenKirin team's AOSP-based ROMs, AndyYan's LineageOS or phhusson's Phh-Treble for a barebones pure Android experience.
But that experience so far is far from perfect. Aside from Q ROMs not booting yet on hi3650 devices like ours, some features may be missing such as camera support, GApps or [insert favorite mod here] which come in the form of flashable zips. A major problem now is that our phone's internal storage must always be encrypted at every ROM install. This poses some problems such as:
* Having to install Huawei's stock recovery every time you need to do a factory reset otherwise your brand new ROM is not booting when you wipe with TWRP.
* Not being able to flash ZIPs in TWRP from the internal storage.
* Having to install custom ROMs by flashing to /system through fastboot which is slow and can be interrupted
* On a fresh ROM boot, the phone takes extra time to encrypt and then on every subsequent boot it will take longer to boot.
Encryption brings extra security, but at the cost of usability and speed. Luckily for us, it can be disabled in favor of having a more traditional custom ROM + TWRP flashing workflow. This can be done by editing a fstab file in our device's vendor partition. Once the procedure is done you will be able to:
* do factory resets from TWRP without problems
* mount internal storage in TWRP and flash ZIPs without problems
* not need to juggle .img files to switch recoveries because everything will be possible from TWRP
Note: This effect is permanent. No need to do it again. You can also easily reverse it manually.
WARNING: YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MUST BE WIPED CLEAN. BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT DATA TO AN EXTERNAL STORAGE BEFOREHAND. YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR FILES AND APPS.
Note: If you ever decide to reflash your stock EMUI firmware, remember that your device will be re-encrypted. If you get stuck at the boot logo after going back to EMUI from a decrypted device, reboot manually to recovery, do a factory reset in the stock recovery and try again.
Required:
* A backup of your important data
* A computer
* working Android install with root
* A working ADB/fastboot environment
* A USB-C cable with data connections
* Pretoriano80's TWRP for Treble-enabled Huawei P9
Your ROM, custom kernels and Magisk will survive the procedure. Don't worry about them.
Step 1: Modify the vendor fstab
Using MiXplorer, navigate to /vendor/etc. We're going to modify the fstab.f2fs.hi3650 file. Back it up in your SD card, because the internal storage will be wiped clean so if you mess the process up you don't want to lose it. Now open the original file with a text editor and edit it, go to the line that contains /data and change the forceencrypt word to encryptable.
Step 2: Flash TWRP
Through Fastboot, install Pretoriano80's TWRP. This is the best TWRP available for our device.
Code:
# fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
For the next step, we need to reboot to the recovery.
Code:
# fastboot reboot recovery
Step 3: Format internal storage
On TWRP, back your internal storage up if you haven't already. This is your last chance to do a backup.
After that, wipe your internal storage. Go to Wipe -> Format Data and confirm. The deed is done.
Now boot your system. ROMs should no longer push their encryption on you, and you can now mount the internal storage in TWRP.

This part is confusing, how to modify fstab?
copy pasted a guide from other users. You shouldnt modify anything and the decryption is a one time story, it breaks after first use.
I tested it on my P9 Plus & it worked man, thank you so much <3

1. No, it doesn't. I tried switching between several "Open"Kirin ROMs and GSIs using a TWRP flash+factory reset workflow, it works well.
2. This entire forum is either sparse solutions spread in deep crevices or hacks from juggling files and editing words in text...surely the guides are so unique, reformatting /data after removing its forceencrypt attribute in /etc/fstab is so unique and special! I'm not trying to throw down zgfg's effort but again, that guide was confusing and required juggling three TWRP copies. I'm just trying to make anyone unfortunate enough to still need to have one of these devices to be able to lessen the pain in the behind that is working with ancient unmaintained Treble implementations, buggy sdcardfs drivers, obscure camera interfaces, broken audio routing and drivers, and secretive ROM cooks who won't share their secret fixes restricting the universe of good ROMs to their own proprietary ROMs that don't get updated, or get updated once every 6 months. Sadly I don't have the time or resources to set a build farm or cook my own ROMs (you probably already know, hundreds of GBs downloaded and 6GB+ of RAM used) Please don't be like this, I like your work.

With TWRP, mount /vendor. Then, use TWRP's ADB shell capabilities. Open a command prompt in your computer, and type 'adb shell' and enter. Then, navigate to /vendor/etc/, with the command 'cd /vendor/etc'. Then using vi or nano, edit the fstab.hi3650 file.
Look for the entry that starts with /data. Replace in the same line, 'forceencrypt' with 'encryptable'. Then save, wipe /data and reboot. Remember to investigate thoroughly for consequences and side effects on everything you do.
Btw, developing discussion and instructions from early 2019 about decrypting Data and Internal memory on P9 Oreo - decryption can be done also by use of TWRP instead of manually editing fstab:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/emui-8-decryption-guide-wipe-t3906245
And a revised summary:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80029346&postcount=1843
They were not necessarily targeting GSI but (at that time) OpenKirin ROMs.
Also, doesn't matter if for EVA AL10, DL00, etc.
Also for stock EMUI 8, but to be able to fully use TWRP (nandroid backup, wiping Dalwik - it's on Data partition, installing zip or img files from Internal memory instead from SD card)
Btw, instead of Terminal and Vi editor (for most of nowadays users their parents were not born yet in the era of pre-WYSIWYG editors, and I doubt if 0.1% would be familiar to navigate with Vi to a particular line and to delete/replace or insert something), one can simply use standard tools like MiXPlorer (root explorer) with its integrated text editor.
In MiXPlorer choose Root, grant the root access, visually navigate to /vendor/etc, click on fstab.hi3650 file, open as Text and edit without frustrations like with Vi editor ?

Thanks for that, I revised and simplified the guide as much as possible.
btw, my P9 is now a secondary device meaning that I can experiment a little more on it. I can't build ROMs for now but will try to create a barebones kernel with useful features.

@ant0nwax and me did use decrypted storage with b540, see the post #6 above:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83386207&postcount=6
Specially, look at the second post linked there (post was in HWOTA7 thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80029346&postcount=1843
There was one catch there (was written for b540):
zgfg said:
Reboot to TWRP and perform the following, in this order:
- Wipe, Swipe to factory reset (not Advanced Wipe, neither Format Data)
- Install three ZIPs (all ogether, in queue): update_data_full_public.zip (from b540 download), b540-update_full_EVA-AL10_all_cn.zip (from b540 download, but fixed by Tecalote to be flashable by TWRP) and Enable-Huawei-OTA.zip (from Tecalote's OP instructions)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I recall correctly after the long time ,(year and a half) - when you format Data you have to restore your b550 part that was installed to Data.
You must not use eRecovery bcs it would encrypt Data again.
Hence you must flash b550 by TWRP and there was a problem with that all_cn zip at that time, reporting me an error (cannot find now TWRP logs from that time to see what was the problem)
I discussed then with @Tecalote and he corrected me the script from the original update all_cn zip for b540 that TWRP was able to flash
As a result, we had EMUI 8, b540 with decrypted storage, giving to TWRP the full access to Data and Internal memory
It was also possible to go back to EMUI 8 with encrypted storage, basically by putting back stock Recovery, by installing latest firmware from eRecovery and by performing Factory reset with Wiping the cache
@Wattsensi: unfortunately, It doesn't work like this in my case. After switching to Chinese EMUI 8, I install Play Store, login to my Google Account and do Play Store things.
After modifying that file in Vendor, I go to recovery, wipe internal storage, wipe Data and restart.
At this moment, it's like after a factory reset, I have to start all over again, but I'm not encrypted.
Well, no matter what I do, I can't login to Google. I open Play Store, it tries to log me in ( the big circles started to spin), at that moment Play Store closes. I go to Accounts and try to login to my Google account from there, same thing. So, for me, Emui 8 is usable only before decryption.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

This is indeed strange, and I do not recall the Chinese ROMs having Google services by default, you had to install GApps if I'm not wrong. Try flashing pico OpenGapps for 8.0 ARM64, wiping cache and doing a factory reset again. Sometimes GApps have issues when you don't flush the cache between fresh installs.

Be careful. Chinese EMUI 8 does come with Google Play Services (OP posts in HWOTA7 thread) and one only needs to install Google Play app.
Google Play Services were also preinstalled for users who recently updated to b550.
Btw, you didn't write are you on Al10c00b550 or what, but you also wrote that you had Playstore working on EMUI 8 before decrypting and formatting Data
Anyway, before installing MicroG, Open GApps or something, inspect do you still have or not Google Play Services installed.
There are apps like Play Services Info to inspect if Google Play Services, Google Services Framework and Google Play Store are installed (and what are their versions).
E.g, use this app from ApkMirror (since you cannot look for them and install from Playstore):
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/weberdo/play-services-info/
(Not sure would it work installing Open GApps if stock Google Play Services are still beneath)
Thank you, guys gor your help. Yes, Ch EMUI comes with Google Play Services, one normally has to install only Google Play.
At the moment I'm just setting up my phone with the Lineage OS MicroG Pie ROM and I'm really enjoining it, but as soon as I decide to try something else, I'll put your suggestions to use.
Hi There,
My happiness was short-lived while Flashing an Old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100.
The Progress I made so far was:
1. ODIN Flashing
2. Able to Install TWRP Recoveries
3. Copied LineageOS and GApps all said Successfully installed
4. Finally rebooted after doing some cache cleaning, but the LineageOS logo appears in the boot and remained booting for about 2 hours. I lost my patience afterward and I switched off the Tab.
5. Tried restarting but the same LineageOS screen goes on and on doesn't bring the setup screen.
I am so curious to know
1. is there People in here who successfully installed LineageOS 14 and booted successfully?
2. How long did the initial boot take?

If I am to redo the process again, please correct if I should do the following
1. I have successfully installed TWRP hence I reckon I don't need to do it again
2. I will download the latest LineageOS and GApps and copy it to Internal Storage
3. Install both using TWRP
4. Clear cache
5. Reboot.
I hope I am doing correctly?

Normally that's the procedure right ??? Even I never wiped internal storage but I did if the rom would give problems. And since there are problems for him (which I never faced installing any lineage rom) maybe wiping everything might work.

Installing apka is not going to install gapps. You need to install a gapps zip while installing the rom. That means, now you'll have to download gapps zip i am giving you and then again wipe system, data, dalvic cache and then install rom and then gapps zip.

Lol good luck with gapps and lag lool..
Do your homework before you do something! Android 7 + gapps = mega lag = unusable.
Read some more ... and stop listening people without proper knowledge.
Tip: don't use gapps at all, specially on prehistoric devices.

This is the best as per my experience. Its android 6 and also fast. It is fastest without gapps but if you are going to install some apps, not all of them might function correctly without gapps.
Lineage os 13 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjABegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw0ngVERkcUHwdW6OdL7FTx8
This is another great one and works well. Again, with gapps it's slow (and mostly all roms are)
Slimrom 4.4 : https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw1pIY6ZrmjDiXzCAxuW-p9R
To be honest, this rom would have been the first in my list but it isn't because it's kitkat (4.4.4) and that means less apps support. It is fast and stable.
Last suggestion : don't go for android 7 roms. Without gapps they are as slow as android 6 roms with gapps.
I would like to install Lineage OS 14.1 on my HTC ONE S, I believe this is the latest version available for this phone. I state that I am not an expert so I kindly need your help. Before installing Lineage OS I have to delete everything in the device, the fact is that this phone has no microsd so if I do a wipe advance and select internal storage it deletes everything including the lineage OS ROM file that I transferred … What should we do then? Also because I noticed that the phone when it is in TWRP is not seen by the PC so I cannot transfer the ROM file again and if I also delete the internal storage I cannot start the phone and I cannot even put the new ROM file ... I ask you how proceed in this case .. Thanks.
Update on the situation, practically I had to install windows 7 in dual boot as with windows 10 it was impossible, so to solve and be able to install an updated version of TWRP and do all the procedure that I am writing to you below, unfortunately I was able to install lineage os 14.1 but the apps don't work well .. Practically the first app I tried is Aurora store which however does not load well and as soon as I write an app to look for it crashes, I also tried aptoide and I see that it also works badly, it does not crash like the aurora store, but it does not load all the graphics of the app icons and then if I try to install it gives me an error to access the internal memory even though I gave it permission, in short, there seems to be some general problem .. Here is what I did before installing Lineage OS, I practically had an old version of TWRP 2.6 and I updated to 3.6 after which I did an advance wipe (Davilk / Art Cache, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and system) and this appeared to me that found in the first screen attached, where it says in yellow, "stock theme version does not match TWRP version" in practice from what I understand it says that the wipe was done with a different version of TWRP than when you are installed the ROM, did I understand correctly? Is this a problem? So I only made a wipe advance of what I wrote above, did I also have to do a format data or is it already included in what I did? After that I transferred the ROM lineage OS 14.1 (ville) on the internal memory and I made the flash. When the phone starts up, the red writing appears at the bottom. Is it normal that it appears even if I do not have root? Because before I had root I had it and now that I have put lineage but without root I see it anyway .. I do not know if it is normal ... what do you advise me to do to solve the problem of apps that work badly? I haven't tried other apps but I think these 2 are already enough to understand that there is a problem. Thanks a lot to those who want to help me.
u need hboot 2.16 for lineage os 14.1
