My phone is nexus 6P and I flashed lineageOS weeks ago with the nightly rom. But every time I check the update and download the new version rom, I couldn't locate the rom that the system downloaded. And I have to download from the website and install again. Where is the updates files?
P.S I cannot find the path"/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates"
Even I cannot find it in my nexus 6

Download the file to a USB stick. TWRP can mount the device and you can install the update from there. An imperfect, temporary, band-aid kind of kludge hack job, but it ought to work until you resolve the other issue(s). Good Luck.

There will be a folder on your phone called LineageOS updates. Look inside that one, then you can copy the downloaded updated file to your root directory or the download directory.
@LEI916, @djpeterdj, @nezlek & @JoshyanchaAbhay...
As you know, the following directory is where the downloads via the LineageOS Downloads would be located if you had downloaded it manually...
/storage/emulated/0/Download
... if you had obtained the LineageOS via its built in OTA Downloader, then it may be located within one of the following Directories...
/LineageOS updates/
/data/linageos_update/
/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates/
*** The following directory is the new one that the Lineage Team had last changed it to and is more likely to be located within.
/data/linageos_updates/
Good Luck!

Hi @LEI916, @djpeterdj, @nezlek & @JoshyanchaAbhay...
Normally nobody has to touch the downloaded updates. Built in updater creates a open recovery script and boots into twrp to execute that without further user interaction. If that doesn't work for you, you should try to repair it by manually updating ROM and twrp.
Normally, yes .....

Absolutely correct. But every once in a great while, what ought to happen just doesn't, and for reasons unknown. Admittedly, I offered up what amounts to a complete hatchet job of an alternative, but on my otherwise faithful LG tablet, it was all that worked for a few consecutive updates when the updater decided not to, as the saying goes, get along well with others. Never did anything else besides wait patiently, and the problem went away (I was both patient and willing to conduct an experiment). Did not at any point wipe or re-flash anything. Go figure. At least it is rarely boring :laugh:

I may be a bit more experienced than many members but, I've had those "NOOB" Moments too.
I can only recommend/suggest for members to check out the Changelog/Blogs, from time to time, to see if anything new has been posted.
The Lineage folks, typically, post new ones every 30-60 days but, I've read past ones purely to take note of them.

Worst-case scenario, (and I've done this) in the OTA screen, after downloading the update you can long-press on it, then tap the disk icon that appears; it'll copy the update to the SD card. Makes it much easier to find. Would be nice if the downloader would just put it in the root folder anyway...
Hello

Perhaps this questions appears a couple of time, but I do not find an answer:
Some Apps are the opinion I am using a jailbreaked or rooted mobile. My mobile device is for shure not rooted or something.
What I did:
I have the good old oneplus one. Until last Friday it was working with the last stock CM 13.1. And with this it was working since years.
But I want to have an update to the latest release, to go technically on latest OS. So I installed LineageOS nightly 15.1.
First of all: great work. It is running fluidly with no problems.
Only some issues with rooting?!
My OpO is not rooted. Some apps I need for my daily work can not be installed like the ServiceNow. Some other apps say: no support, because of a rooted mobile like Mercedes me.
I tried to root it for afterwards to unroot. But our companies policy app immediately factory resets my phone after installing SuperSU. From this issue I know, it is not rooted. I checked with RootChrcker as well: unrooted.
Why some specific apps mean: rooted?

Just an FYI... In general, all of the Official LineageOS builds are not rooted by default. This is why the Lineage Team provides flashable Root Addons located at the bottom of the device listing on their downloads page that's labeled "Extras".
SuperSU and others alike are just optional choices and should not be flashed together.
Good Luck!

@Lowrider39, did you flahsed addonsu zip?
In you have, please go to the Setting >> Developer Options >> Root Access.
Select 'Apps and ADB' if you haven't done so.
Maybe this helps. (this whined me, too for a while).
I have only been using lineageOS for a couple weeks and wanted to get advice before I call it bugs:
1) i could not flash 20181023 after a wipe, nor one or two nightly before that. i had to go back to 20181002 and then apply 20181023 on top of it without wiping.
2) i could not root using addonsu-15.1-arm64-signed.zip on 20181023. i had used it on 20181002 somewhat successfully, however, something had happened more than once which un-rooted it.
observation: TWRP 3.2.3.1 seems to require a passcode now or else /sdcard/ looks jumbled (likely encrypted). i don't recall this happening until this load.
related question: any good advice about general handling of A/B partition style phone? before i used other custom ROMs with samsung s6 which didn't have that and seems to make everything harder.

there are also better instructions on that page than on the LOS wiki for marlin. there are other img files to flash first I was not aware of.
Dear reader,
since a couple of days my device (samsung S7: SM-G930F) is running low on battery really quick. So I thought; it has been a while since my device asked me to update the new Lineage version. So I gave the app the instruction to look for updates, and it gave me the following notification.
Can't connect to download site. Please retry later.
When actually
You device is supported by the lineageOS team, but there are no versions that support this type of publication: Nightly. (this is translated from Dutch, so actual English sentece might be different).
Switching to Snapshot instead of Nightly in the Settings didn't help.
Then when searching again for updates it gave me the message:
No source file
Request for file: lineage-14.1-20181124-nightly-herolte-signed.zip To reconstruct the last update, the zip of the app should actually be installed. Do you want to select this file manually from storage, or download the last full zip-version?
When I press: download full zip-file it gives the following:
Error during implementation. Try to refresh.
When I click on select file (from storage), and select lineage-14.1-20180927-nightly-herolte-signed.zip, it gives me the message:
You should select the right source file. But I don't have that one on my storage; it's froma different date.
Can anyone help me please?
Kind regards,
Chris

S7 is no longer officially supported by lineageOS. You can search here in XDA for unofficial ROMs.
I have no big hope that a new ROM will really solve your battery issue. Most of the the success stories are a result of a clean ROM installation.

In addition to the outstanding information that @kurtn had provided...
There's no Official LineageOS Updater Apps on the Play Store.
The reason is that they have an implemented LineageOS Updater built into the Firmware and has no need to provide any such app separately from the firmware. That would just be counterproductive to the built in Updater.
The LineageOS Updater App(s) on the Play Store is via a 3rd party developer. I'm not stating that any/all of them are either good or bad but, individuals need to know that their Unofficial and is in no way supported by the Official Lineage Team Maintainers.
Just a few (so to speak) words of advice to keep in mind. I remember asking about them (quite a while ago) and those were the types of words/thoughts by @invisiblek and @haggertk (whose a part the Official Lineage Lead Maintainers).
No lectures here... Just some friendly information for you My Friend!

Hi Kurt and Ibuprophen, thanks for your answers!
Now I have finally holiday and time to actually fix things it's time to continue this
So current situation;
Phone running out of battery within half a day without frequent using, apps crashing > update definitely required.
Phone model: Samsung S7 SM-930F
LineageOS version: 14.1-20181124-NIGHTLY-herolte (so last update is over a year old)
Android version 7.1.2
Options:
1. Just reset to factory settings? Most easy option, but I think it will have negative influence when I use the phone for another year?
2. I found this unoficcial ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/beta-lineageos-16-0-s7-herolte-t3842465, however, it doesn't include instructions and it is very technical and it speaks of Android 9 as base, which I don't have; just 7.1.2. Would that be a problem?
3. Update to 15.1 instead if that is easier?
So what would be your advice? Please bear in mind that I am a technical noob and can only follow instructions that are extremely clear & correct
Until now I haven't found instructions I felt comfortable with unfortunately.
By the way my laptop has Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2

Oh, looks like ivan does a good job. I think it is a good idea to install his rom.
But be aware: whatever it is, that eats your battery, it can come back.
Edit: be aware: from the threads it looks like 15.1 and 16.0 are not SELinux enforcing. So the gain of security is not as high as one would expect from security patch level. So you can try a factory reset of 14.1 as well.
Do you think there is an easy, technical-illiterates-friendly way to install this version of ivan? I am not that keen to have the highest possible security.
When I am emptying the phone anyway, it seems best to me to have the most recent version (if it doesn't matter that I have android 7.1 and not android 9).
