The install itself seems to run fine, but when I start up, it doesn’t ask for a WiFi connection, and therefor cannot get past either the screen which prompts where I want to “Bring your data from…” or if I press set up as new, I’ll get “Setup Wizard has stopped”. This will repeat no matter how many times I let it restart and go through again. I’ve tried it multiple times with either open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170503.zip, open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20170503.zip, or open_gapps-arm-7.1-mini-20170503.zip.
I haven’t installed any previous versions of Lineage 14.1, and when I did try to install a previous version, it wouldn’t let me because I had installed this one (no matter which partitions I wiped System, cache, data, and Dalvik Cache).
May 5, 2017 at 2:47 PM #18624Linux UserParticipantI don’t believe that even after wiping everything you are unable to flash a new ROM.
The wiping might not have completed successfully. Or the TWRP might be problematic in this case.Can you clean the /system, then re-mount it and see if you have some content on it???
Basically this will prove that the /system partition is not wiped if you find some content in the partition.
If that is the case then I will suggest you to try with some other recovery version !!
May 5, 2017 at 4:57 PM #18632Linux UserParticipantthe /system directory is clean, but the root directory isn’t, does the /system partition consist solely of the /system directory? should I also be wiping Internal Storage (and would that even do anything about this problem)?
May 6, 2017 at 12:44 AM #18639Linux UserParticipantUpdate: I was able to go back to CM 12.1, then install lineage-14.1-20170316-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip (which had a much higher download count). This version did prompt me for a WiFi connection, and worked fine. I would suggest developers look at the initial installation of the most recent patches, and ensure the WiFi connection works on startup after initial installation.
May 9, 2017 at 9:20 AM #18733Linux UserParticipantThanks @stevenas for the update.
So updating the LineageOS 14.1 ROM on top of CM12.1 fixed the issue, is it?
If yes then this will be a good information for those facing similar issue.May 9, 2017 at 8:33 PM #18794Linux UserParticipantWiping and Updating to a previous major version (in my case I had 12.1) allowed me to then update to a previous version of 14.1 (after full wipe). Updating to the March 16 2017 version of 14.1 allowed me to get through the initial setup, and actually get it running, then I was able to update on top of that (with no wipes) to the current version.
May 9, 2017 at 9:09 PM #18809Linux UserParticipantGood to know that you are running the latest Lineage OS. And yet again thanks for the detailed information.
May 22, 2017 at 4:48 PM #19443Linux UserParticipantExcellent. Thank you. Any easy update from CM13. FYI it finished the lineage install with “E: unknown command. log” (or something like that) twice, before starting to install gapps; but it doesn’t seem to have caused any problems. Even the camera works properly now.
July 10, 2017 at 4:33 AM #23898AnonymousInactiveAfter flash this ROM on my sony tablet z (pollux_windy SGP311), with previous android 5.1 and dual recovery, i was impressed with the quality and performance from my tablet.It’s everything working on perfection, but i have a problem cannot solve and i lost many hours to work with kernels, extractions, boot images, etc. The problem is the offline charge.When turn off the tablet and connect to charge, the tablet boots itself.If i look to led notifications, the sequence is that:
1-Connect charge (red led)
2-The led remains red and logo sony xperia appears
3-The led change to violet (like when enter in TWRP)
4-Led turn yellow and tablet boots.
After read articles about the structure of original tft files from sony and the actual zip from Lineage i see a boot.img and not a kernel.sin or else, the all structure of files and mount are diferent.If you have a tip i apreciate. Best Regards.Thank you. Antonio Dinis from Portugal. - TWRP link for GSM LTE | TWRP link for WIFI variant of Xperia Tablet Z (pollux, pollux_windy)
