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...

I cannot find the lineageOS updates file on my phone

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:

TouchWiz on LineageOS 14.1.

Is it possible to install? When I install, it crashes after I run it. Is LineageOS 14.1 incompatible? S8 TouchWiz requires Android 7.0 and above and I run 7.1.2 on my phone.

Whatsapp: Problem to download videos/pictures from others

I installed on my Nexus 5 the latest patch (14.1) and i have a issue with Whatsapp the last days. I can't download any pictures or videos by whatsapp. I tried to refresh my device, wipe all data but that doesn't fix it. I tried to use the official Whatsapp and Whatsapp+ all time the same problem. Anyone know a solution?

Screen turns Black

I just updated my SM-G900W8 to Lineage Os 15.1 recently. And then I noticed immediately that the screen turns black when I pull down the Status Bar.
(I can't upload screenshot due to network error.)
(It supposed to just dim the screen.)
I don't really know if it is because of the update. But this wasn't the case in 14.1 . I can't find anything in the settings (or I just missed it maybe).
Is there a way to change it or was it made that way?
EDIT: It randomly fixed itself. I shall send a report to Lineage OS.

As a type of Unspoken Rule, the threads for its predecessor typically continues to the new version until/unless the OP Developer changes the title or states otherwise.
For the time being, you should use the following Official LineageOS 14.1 thread for the klte devices.
