Flashing steps for Lineage OS 18.1 (unofficial build)
@rickastleeClean flashing (recommended)
- Download and install OrangeFox recovery if you haven't already
- Make sure to back up your data. I'd recommend using Swift Backup
- Reboot to recovery
- Wipe Dalvik, Cache and Data
- Select ADB sideload in recovery
- Navigate to the downloads folder on your PC and begin sideloading
- Format data once the ROM has been flashed
- Reboot to recovery again
- Flash a GApps package (optional, strongly recommend), e. g. NikGapps Core
- Flash Magisk (optional)
- Reboot
Dirty flashing (only possible if you are on the previous build)
- Reboot to recovery
- Select ADB sideload in recovery. Both Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik options should be ticked.
- Navigate to the downloads folder on your PC and begin sideloading
- Most GApps packages and Magisk have a survival script. Check the logs to confirm the restoration process was succesful.
- Reboot
Note: if you don't have a PC you can also download the rom to your phone, SD card, flash drive, or any other storage device. Skip steps 5-6 for clean flashing and steps 2-3 for dirty flashing. You have to select the zip file in the file explorer of OrangeFox instead of sideloading it. Don't forget to wipe Cache & Dalvik if you are dirty flashing.
