hello, iam wondering can i hust sideload Lineage 18.1 from running L16? will it all work?
if I manage to make this sideload and upgrade to 18, will this method make new 18 rom boot with all previously on 16 installed apps and settings or it will be just blank rom?
ok no answers, I guess I'll just have to try it and see.. but got also another question please
After doing sideload another rom, does that work as ''upgrade'' to current rom or it works like installing it from blank?
Iam wondering if this sideload suceeds , will I still hav e my current apps installed in new rom?
well, I manager to sideload L18.1, and it booted, but when it booted it can't recognise my sim card, and can't connect to any wireless network it doesn't see any..
So I give up..

Here's to hoping someone can help me out. My phone details before I messed up: LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP 3.0, running Fulmics 5.2 for about 1 1/2 weeks
I noticed that I was not seeing the LTE indicator on my phone. I checked the HUB and saw the BootD850-30012016 data patch and figured that I just needed to install. So I flashed it and my phone wouldn't start. I was able to boot into recovery, so I figured I would do a clean install of the ROM so I did a full wipe, accidentally wiping EVERYTHING except for my external SD.
Result was that I can access TWRP but am unable to flash any of my backups or zips from my external SD, or OTG. I can see the files, but don't have the option to "swipe". I also am unable to 'mount' or 'install'.
At this point, I noticed that AT&T has finally released the OTA for Marshmallow, so I figured I would just use LG FlashTool and totally un-root and give the update a try. (BTW, I have used the flash tool many times with no problems/issues on both my phone and my son's D855).
Unfortunately, I am getting the dreaded "unable to change to download mode" after 15 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Tool, the LG Drivers and all files and used every port on both of my computers (Windows 10 btw) but can't get past the download error.
So...after many hours of digging, I took a leap of faith and was able to sideload Fulmics 5.1 successfully and install the 5.2 update from the HUB. I made backup of the ROM but TWRP still won't allow me to "swipe" and install/restore. I reinstalled TWRP using Flashify and it installed version 2.8 but still no go on flashing from recovery.
I realize that I'm lucky to have been able to figure out how to get the phone back using the sideload function in TWRP, but I really do want to go back to stock and it bugs me that I am unable to use my backups.
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to be sure to include everything I did....if anyone can help me out I would be much obliged. My 11 year old is anxiously waiting on me to figure this out before she gets this phone (I'm moving up to the HTC 10 in a couple of weeks!). She still thinks I'm 'SuperMommy' so if I can fix this I get to keep my swagger!
I was also running fulmics 5.1 and updated to 5.2 in my phone but now i was having pretty good laggs and i finally realised that the update provided by the phone was corruped so i went on the official site and downloaded the same 5.2 OTAs from there and flashed it into TWRP recovery to finally get the latest version 5.3..know that is it always advisable to flash zip file when in recovery mode using TWRP recovery...The big mistake was cleaning also the internal memory of your phone.this caused the malfunction of twrp.
The issue is that most often i have seen cases of lagg in those updating to fulmics 5.2 from the Hub .sometimes in twrp recovery the update files will not successfully wipe and then reboot system with 5.2 installed but with many lagg the file downloaded there may be corrupted and not give you permission to swipe..if you really like fulmics and still update to the latest..Try this it may help you solve your problem:1 reinstall the fulmics 5.1 go to xdadevelopers.com/fulmics follow the link given by xpirit to www.fulmics.com and download the OTA 5.2(file size maybe 46 mb).. 2.reboot your phone now in twrp recovery it should now be able swipe and install..(if not then install Twrp 3.0 and try) 3-search the files in your internal memory or wherever you have downloaded it and flash it ..4.reboot system.That should be done!! In case you want to come back to stock and cant install from Twrp then the problem is with Twrp just download the latest version that goes with your phone.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I finally figured it out after a couple days of sweating and swearing. Yaneddik, you were spot on about updating from the Hub. I ended up installing TWRP 2.8.6 and re-installed 5.1 from the Fulmics website along with the updates. Everything has been working great (except for losing LTE connectivity, but that's for another thread!). I'm not inclined to update TWRP to 3.0 unless absolutely necessary, 2.8.6 works just fine for me.

Hey there....you can access the Hub after you flash the Fulmics ROM. It's where you can get your tweaks, downloads, mods, etc. You'll find it in your app drawer.
I have been running Cryogenmod 12.1 for my Samsung SM-A300FU but its UNOFFICIAL and a preview the webpage i got it off says 'Wifi and Camera NOT WORKING'. I guess thats what i get for following my mates advice.
Because of this, i looked at CM13 (Android 6) which i got off the XDA site and i have made sure it is for my phone and model, the SM-A300FU. Of course, being my luck it didnt work. I get the error of 'Executing updater binary in zip' and i have wiped my phone then tried to install it and i have also tried to completly remove all OS and files then install it which apparently fixed it for people, but not me of course. In a desperate measure i even bluetoothed the ROM to another phone then back into my SM-A300FU to get it onto the internal storage but that obviously didnt change anything.
Finally, i gave up and tried to downgrade back to Android 5.0.2 although this isnt a CM zip. Once again, this ROM doesnt work. It just gives me an error saying it failed, no reason in particular.
I have a few issues for a whole range of files. Any help in fixing any or all of these would be much appreciated.

CM 12.1 UNOFFICIAL (Not meant to work fully) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3273323

So to reitterate: I installed the CM 12.1 ROM without issues but it turns out to be a mod that doesnt work fully meaning its unsuitable for me. I downloaded CM 13 but this gets an error. I downloaded a Android 5.0.2 ROM which has an error it doesnt even tell me about.

Does anyone know what changed regarding wifi in Android 8 or MIUI 10?
I was happily using LOS 14 for a while (after having officially unlocked my bootloader at some point in the past, but became curios and wanted to try out the new MIUI 10. While I could not find anything official, I did find this chinese dev ROM (I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU FLASH THIS). I flashed it, wasn't that impressed and then decided to try LOS 15 based on Android 8.
That was a bit too unstable for me, so I tried reverting back to LOS 14.
I did so using a backup I made to my pc (I did `adb backup` while in TWRP and selected every partition I think). After booting into LOS14, things seemed to crash an awful lot.
At this point I realized wifi wasn't working. It showed a MAC Address of 02:00:00 I think, but no networks were found. I tried restoring my phone using MiFlash normally. I then tried restoring it using Qualcomm's download mode. Older MIUI versions would not boot anymore (although I did manage to boot an old version of TWRP made for the pre-Nougat bootloader). I tried LOS14 again, and attempted using fastboot to erase various partitions (such as the bluetooth and modem partition, and then manually flashed the image again. Still no wifi.
Does anyone know what could have happened? My bootloader is still unlocked, and even downgrading the device to an old version of MIUI using Qualcomm mode did not make it work again? How come LOS15 and MIUI 10 are able to use wifi without problems?
tl;dr WiFi stopped working on any rom other then Lineage OS 15 or MIUI 10.
Unfortunately, I have a problem. My phone was on the power cord overnight and pulled the latest update (EEA 12.5.5.0 Enhanced). It was then booted into OrangeFox (OrangeFox recovery with OTA support) and waited for my OK. I didn't think anything of it and didn't make a backup either, as I assumed that everything would go smoothly like the last update.
The update then went on, but there was probably an error, because now I have a bootloop (yellow Poco lettering for about 2 seconds). I can't use an old backup because I'm abroad right now and I don't want to lose the apps I've already set up (pandemic, tracking apps, certificates, ...).
Does anyone have a quick trick or the latest full ROM that I can just iron over or any other good quick idea? Change bootloader slot or other options? OrangeRecovery and Fastboot are still accessible. Now I only have ADB/Fastboot on my work laptop, but I still can't list the device with adb devices. I guess I still need to install the Xiaomi driver for it, but that should be the minor issue.
Update: I am currently downloading the different ROM versions (fastboot, recovery and incremental update), just in case they are needed.
OTA for the rom and using ofox? hmm it's not supported unless you will flash stock rom maybe. I don't know much more. Correct me if im wrong.
OTA works very well with orangefox and AICP 16.1...
