Download and Install LineageOS 16 on Nexus 9 – flounder

[Linux User]

It’s been a while since I tried to install a custom ROM on any device, so I probably should not have jumped back in right into Lineage 16 on my nexus 9, but I gave it a shot and I’m a bit stuck now

I flashed the ROM and on the first boot I got the “To start android, enter your password” screen. I saw people were saying type in “deafault_password” to get through this, but the system was freezing after a few seconds. The next solution I saw was to Format Data using TWRP.

Now when I boot, the system freezes as shown in the attached image.

Now when I return to TWRP I get a “Mount Decrypt Data” “Enter Password” screen. I’ve been hitting cancel and I have tried formating the data again in TWRP, but that doesn’t help.

I thought I might sideload a different custom OS, but ADB sideload also isn’t registering.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Edit: I was able to go down to lineage os 15. Wanted to delete this post but can’t see that option. Thanks.
