Please suggest somewhere else I should post this. I took an OTA update last night for Lineage4microG and my OnePlus8T just bootlooped. I tried downloading and manually side loading both the most recent and previous versions, but they keep failing with a kInstallDeviceOpenError. I am desperate to get back into my device without wiping the data.

[email protected] appears to be the biggest Lineage community here

Broad definition of "big" or "community".

You'll probably get more help here: https://xdaforums.com/

Latest build had issues with a few models due to a selinx issue.

Flashing an older build should work tough. Try flash a selinux-permissive zip from recovery maybe, that should let you boot.

Next week build will fix the issue I am sure, but you should join the lineageos reddit channel or the discord server.

Thanks. I tried flashing the previous one available (the one I was using before taking this OTA), but it also wasn't working. I'll keep checking the site for the new build next week, and hope that one boots for me.

Damn you are now making me paranoid. I'm going to skip on this one and make backups.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Do it. If I'd had nice backups, I could have wiped and done a clean install. Instead I'm praying this gets fixed so I do lose about a month of pictures and all my 2fa tokens :p

I'm in the same situation. I have a One Plus 8, and when I try to update using the updater app on Android, my phone reboot a dozen of time but finally boot without updating Lineage OS. I tried twice and finally gave up...
