LineageOS on BLACKVIEW BV9900. - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hello.
I bought the BLACKVIEW BV9900 running Android 9.
I want to install the latest version of Lineageos with Android 10 on this phone, but first I want to know if my phone is compatible and if it works fine on it?
Is it also possible to root this phone?
Are there people on this forum who have already installed Lineageos and rooted this model?
Thanks for your feedback.

When i search on google "lineageOS BV9900" there are sites that offer tutorials to install it. But having also seen on XDA a person who could not boot LineageOS installed on this model, it is for this reason that I would like to have the opinion of other people who have already installed it.

i may give it a try i recently got twrp working on it so its a good a time as any to look around.
(gotta find a way to backup my stuff first tough as its still encrypted and twrp doesnt wanna play with that)

annoyed
I had also a lot of problems ...
I had to reinstall the stock ROM over SP Flash Tool because of bootloop
I then managed to install twrp
- by activating oem in android setting
- activating usb debug mode
- fastboot flashing unlock
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Took the bv9900 TWRP 331 found on the internet)
- Then tried to wipe, but I get an error that twrp is unable to mount partitions...
After searching I was able to get a workaround, a made a "Format Data"
- Install lineage img from twrp and reboot => got boot loop again !
- Then I reinstall only stock system partition through SP Flash Tool, and working again, but TWRP is away ???
Is the scatter File from the stock rom wrong ? How is it possible, that on flashing only the system partition, the recovery gets overwrited ???

Can you give me like of drivers? I used one in unbrick tool but it is not getting installed
I have no other drivers than those in the unbrick thread.
There is also a process of installing them described, which is tricky, because the drivers are not digitally signed.
If you are on windows 7, you must put them in test mode....don't know how it is with other versions of windows, because I used my older machine with W7 for unbricking.
It is all there, in the unbrick thread.....If I remember correctly....

Finally unbrciked the device using that guide and after some workarounds got 3g working. But the biggest problem I am facing now is. I am stuck in stock 1.2..5i with twrp 2.7.0 can't old backup are not showing in recovery also can't flash anything. No system update. Flashing nameless Rom latest results in updater script error. Tried flashing latest twrp but it will reboot to system every time I try to boot into recovery. Sorry for my bulky English.
Yes, this exact problem I had also to face.
And I don't remember it exactly, but If I'm not mistaken, I flashed the original ColorOS recovery, did some updates and finally then I ended up with ColorOS 2.1.5i, I think.....
From that point TWRP recoveries worked alright, even the newest versions.
If you managed to unbrick your device, this is piece of cake, just remember - you need original ColorOS recovery firstly.

This Device is 'Hermes' instead of hollyss - cannot flash via TWRP

Hello there!
After unlocking bootloader & flashing TWRP with instructions and files overe here
/youtu.be/uqxFs_QSwOU
Xperia was about to flash some custom ROM and...
A strange error occured in recovery:
Error 7
This package is for device: holyss; this device is Hermes.
But... Hermes is a name for Redmi Note 2 :'D isn't?
Does it mean that Xperia find itself as Redmi? x)
Before, everything was wiped out: dalvik, cache etc.
It was impossible even to restore system from backup until enabling md5 veryfication - before there was a problem with cache.
Anyway, TWRP seems to work kinda... Laggy.
Save the phone, good people!
Thank you
As you can see, i have twrp recovery for this device and they are probably using one of my alpha versions that i ported from Redmi Note 2 which goes by hermes, you can flash my recovery and which rom are you going to flash ?
Thanks for your quick reply!

You mean recovery from this thread?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-2-touch-recovery-t3461728
Now with TWRP flashed is it only supposed to replace with version 'holyss' via fastboot or phone needs some preps before? (Like removing old one)
There are fresh new lineage 14 builds 'nicki' with only camera not working
and TWRP nicki for M series from TW site, of course
https://download.lineageos.org/nicki
If it won't work, Lineage 13 from your thread would be fine

Just flash it with fastboot no preps required, nicki is Sony Xperia M so that rom won't work and my rom has bugs.
Great Job, now everything goes smoothly Lineage 13 has been installed.
There is only a problem with baseband, it's unknown and no SIM detected.
May flashing stock backup and then again Lineage get IMEI back?
Or a solution will be something like that:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/help/please-help-imei-null-baseband-null-t3426746
It's dual-sim thread but we have two methods in links below.

Still able to use Google Play store and certify device after root + custom rom?

Hi,
Not too long ago a weird bug forced me to do a wipe of the device before i can start using it again (was all stock). Now i'm debating on a custom rom since the biggest obstacle for me (wiping the device and reinstalling everything again after) has been taken away.
I did however remember reading about devices with root and custom rom not being able to use the play store anymore since Google marked them as unregistered and such.
Is this still a problem? or is there a work around / fix for this to be found?
Thanks in advance.

Its not a problem if you flash custom rom + gapps + magisk altogether. Once all those files are flashed successfully then only reboot to system & your Google play store will say your device is certified.

Great thank you for your reply. Was losing hope i would not get an answer anymore.
Does this mean it's possible to use Google Pay with a custom rom? Or just the play store?

Alright so i have managed to install lineage and gapps, but somehow i cant get magisk to work.
1) can i just leave it like this without magisk and not have problems with google uncertified stuff?
2) if the above can't be done or if i can still somehow install magisk, please explain how. (i rooted one other time long ago with superSU, i dont have experience with magisk). I followed: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ but i get an error 1 when trying to install in TWRP.
Please help and thanks in advance

To make magisk working properly just make sure you have /data partition EXT4 formatted also install this version of TWRP for Lenovo p2 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528044694 after that install latest version of magisk through recovery & you will be able to install magisk successfully.

Correct. Even with Magisk root Google Pay and other secure banking apps work fine. You may just need to activate Magisk hide for certain apps.

Thank you for your reply.
Yes i did format the data partition to ext4. I used the TWRP version of their original website, searched for the lenovo p2a42 and found kuntao_row. (twrp-3.2.3-0-kuntao_row.img to be exact). Is there a difference in the version you linked there and this one ?
I currently have lineageos with gapps installed and working. If i am going to try and make magisk work. Are the following steps correct?:
1) install magisk manager
2) shut down and enter fastboost
3) flash different TWRP version
4) Boot into TWRP recovery
5) install magisk from ext sd
6) Then done? Or do i need to reinstall LineageOS and gapps again after those steps? And maybe wipe and reformat again at some points? if so, where?
Again thanks in advance and i really appreciate the help.

Just download latest version of the magisk, keep it somewhere in the storage then reboot to recovery, update your current recovery by the recovery I have given you above, reboot again to recovery then flash magisk & reboot to system. After successful flashing of magisk zip install magisk manager apk from play store or Google.

Hi,
Back again haha. It still works properly and almost have everything set up as i wanted to. One more question arose:
The system is telling me there is a new version update for lineageos.
I am assuming i just click download on the latest version, then reboot into recovery (backup as optional), click install, search the zip and let it install then reboot again is the way to install it. But do i have to reinstall gapps? and does this process delete any data or is it just like a normal update and everything stays the way it was before installing the update?
Thanks again in advance.

S9 in boot-loop, no OS, just twrp

It's been three years since i changed phones and I naively thought that things had gotten easier.
But nope. Still a mess of stiching together various incomplete "guides" from around the web only
to end up with a phone stuck in a boot-loop.
It's a Galaxy S9. Using Odin I've been able to install TWRP 3.3.1-0.
With that I tried installing both Carbon ROM as well as Havoc OS each followed by Open Gapps 8.
In some of the "guides" there was mentions of no-verity, so I've tried adding that in various steps.
Still, the only thing that works reliably is power+bixby+up to enter twrp. It's the only way I've found
to power down the phone.
Very grateful for any suggestion.
I've thought about installing the ROM using Odin, but I'm afraid that I would lose twrp.
From TWRP boot into download mode and use Odin to flash stock.
Or download soldier ROM and flash that in TWRP. It's based on stock ROM.

Thanks for taking the time to reply - I appreciate it!
Just to be suuuper clear: Should I flash the ROM the same way as I did twrp? Option AP and F. Reset time?
And why stock ROM? That's where I came from. Ultimately I want a custom ROM (preferably Carbon or Havoc).
Is this a step towards that?

Flashing stock will return your phone to the way it was when you bought it, having to flash TWRP etc all over again
When flashing stock you flash all 4 sections together and do not change any settings in Odin
CSC = Reset phone
HOME CSC = Do not reset
Only use one or the other
You will need to use CSC if you have TWRP / Custom installed
If you are wanting a custom ROM flashed from TWRP you should wait for someone else who knows why it won't flash to help you as I have just kept stock on my S9 so don't know what's wrong
You do know you flash the custom ROM zip using TWRP right? Copying it to your SD card then choosing it from TWRP itself, not using Odin

That's exactly what I did. I used Odin to install twrp and then tried to install the custom ROM with twrp. That's when the wheels came off and the phone got stuck booting.
So what do I do to install a custom ROM on my S9?
I'm positive I've followed every step of the guides, but there's always the feeling that they are written for AnyAndroidPhone (TM) and that there's some device-specific quirk that's left out.

Then you should follow the guides on this XDA S9 forum instead, then you know they are for the S9

you still bricked?
In TWRP did the internal storage maybe say 0mb? Tat happens when you dont abort the factory reset after OEM unlock. If it is that than just go to advanced wipe, pormat your data to fat2 and then back to fat4
Hey there, I had the exact same problem over the past 2 days - so I feel your frustration.
I have a 9604f (galaxy s9) , and there are different types so you may have to see if yours is different. I also used ressurrection remix OS. Short version is:
1. Get resurrection remix (final version for starlte)
2. Get gapps (for 8.1 arm64)
3. Get magisk
The above 3 are all on the post for the official resurrection remix on this site with the header -[ROM] [OFFICIAL] [6/01/18] ResurrectionRemix 6.0 for S9/S9+ (Exynos)
4. Download the BRE5 vendor. I used a link that went to a mega.nz site and it worked. So I'm sure you'll be able to find one. I can't post links cause this is my first post.
5. Boot into twrp
6. Format data in wipe section of twrp
7. Wipe dalvik, cache, data, system.
8. Install in this order -do not reboot or wipe anything. Just install.
(I) BRE5 vendor
(II) resurrection remix ROM
(III) gapps
9. DONT WIPE cache, and reboot into the OS
10. If you want root -just go back into twrp once you have set up google, apps etc. And then install the magisk zip.
update
Not bricked any more.
The advice from @basicreece to install soldier worked. I made a second attempt to install Carbon afterwards but that resulted again in a twrp-only device. Now I'm back on soldier.
Perhaps I'll give @Madsikhey's instructions a go later.
To show my gratitude for all the help in times of darkness I'd like to give back and I'll let @basicreece decide:
1. Donation to XDA
2. Donation to EFF
3. A beer/coffee for yourself (PayPal)
Answer me in a PM.

I have somewhat same problem. Rooted my S9 original OS and it worked fine. After power off the phone is in bootloop and the only way to shut the phone off is to boot in the twrp and reboot-->shut off.
And the only way to get to the twrp is power+volume up+bixby button combination.

Now I'm stuck and I need a help to proceed. What i should do to get the phone open again? Would it be a good idea to flash lineageOS now, or is there a way to reset the phone back to original?

Os deleted while trying to install a cutom ROM on A2 lite, I'm stuck and I need help.

Hello everyone !
I have a xiaomi Mi A2 lite for few days, based on Pie 9.0. I decided to install a custom rom on it (resurrection or lineage OS16) so I unlocked the bootloader, rooted properly the phone, and then tryed to use TWRP to install a new ROM.
Unfortunatly, I never succeeded to do so: each time I tried, the installation failed, showing an "error 1".
Trying to fix this issue, I unfortunatly deleted the OS of my phone, and still can't install a new ROM. I tried to flash a stock ROM from xiaomi site, following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/os-image-please-help-t3885625/page3 , but Mi flash tool doesn't work well on my computer (it's still showing an "unhandled exception" error, whatever I'm trying to do.
Here we are, I've got two problems and I don't really know what to do, despite my searching on the web. My phone is now unusable (I can access to the TWRP recovery, can use fastboot, but that's all..)
Do you have any advice to clean up all the mess I did ?
Thank you a lot for your time !
Download the stock rom (preferably 10.0.3.0) extract it along with adb and fastboot into the same folder, install the drivers, boot into fastboot, connect it to PC and run flash_all.bat and you should be back onto stock rom! If you want to install a custom rom follow this: github. com/tkchn/daisyinstall/blob/master/README.md

Are you sure that you followed the procedure to install a custom rom? Can you tell which steps did you do? And about the error of MiFlash you can try with other version so there are many versions uploaded that don´t match well.
If you can't use the fastboot u need to force EDL Mode.. The best and simple way to install the ROM stock is using MI Flash Tool, u can find a tutorial in here or in YouTube it's easy if you follow all the steps! Good Luck

Trying to fix this issue, I unfortunatly deleted the OS of my phone, and still can't install a new ROM. I tried to flash a stock ROM from xiaomi site, following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/os-image-please-help-t3885625/page3 , but Mi flash tool doesn't work well on my computer (it's still showing an "unhandled exception" error, whatever I'm trying to do.
Here we are, I've got two problems and I don't really know what to do, despite my searching on the web. My phone is now unusable (I can access to the TWRP recovery, can use fastboot, but that's all..)
Do you have any advice to clean up all the mess I did ?
Thank you a lot for your time !

The first problem with TWRP Error code :1 - the problem is with twrp itself- install a different version ,i am using 3.3.1-0 by offain ,i've had this error on allmost every twrp besides the offain versions and dees_troy.
The second problem : with the deleted os : you have 2 options :
1. Download the latest MiFlash from the official site and install it ,on the top left of the screen, you can see Drivers button ,click on install. Then navigate to stock rom folder ,go in fastboot mode on your device and connect to PC ,hit refresh ,then flash.
2. If this doesn't help ,custom rom is an option ,there are 2 links
https://daisyfiles.pp.ua/Firmwares/MIUI/ - from here download miui version Golden Master 1.1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...ol-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3866191/amp/ - download this all in one tool, you can lock ,relock ,install twrp recovery ,custom roms ,it is perfect!
For the installation - put the rom on sd card ,install twrp version that doesnt give Error 1 code ,then format data,system,cache,dalvik/art ,internal storage.
And the last thing - install the ROM zip and try MIUI 10.5 This is the best temporary solution,until you set MiFlash the right way ,or on another PC
Hello !
First of all, thank you very much for your quick and complete answer
I finally succedeed to flash a stock ROM on the phone, using Mi flash tool, so I'm back on track ! About the "unhandled exception" error, i've just fixed it by creating a "log folder" in the MI flash tool folder, it's good to know, maybe It will help someone else one day ^^
When I tried to install a custom ROM last time, I used the 3.3.1 version of TWRP. Because it didn't work (error 1), I used the 3.3.0 one and I had the same exact error code. Do you think I should try older versions one by one ?
I'm going to unlock it and root it right now,
Thank you again,
Arnaud
PS: Oh, last thing, when TWRP recovery will be properly installed on my phone, shall I root it by using magisk ?

Updating my situation:
So I successfully installed TWRP 3.3.3-0 on the phone and did a huge backup to avoid deleting my OS again.
Now I'm confused about what to do: I did understand that I need to root my phone (using magisk) BEFORE trying to install a custom ROM, but I'm really not sure about it, should I ?
I tried, and it still doesn't work (error1), I noticed that error 1 shows some interresting details:
"error installing zip file '/sdcard/TWRP/RR-P-v7.0.2-20190907-daisy-Official.zip' "
The point is I do not have any sd card in my phone (for the moment), is it possible that it can't install the ROM because TWRP is trying to install the ROM on an non-existing storage ? I will try to get an sdcard somewhere to check how it behave.
Thank you again,

Nope ,as i said ,error code is with the version of twrp ,i am using TWRP 3.3.3-1 dees_troy ,i've had the same problem as yours ,i was trying to flash from internal memory ,tried flash from sd card,the problem was the same.So i have tried 3 or 4 different versions ,3.3.3-0 (2 different versions ) gave me error 7 ,another 3.3.3-0 destroyed my system image ,3.2.3-0 don't show my sd card in twrp .So download TWRP 3.3.3-1by dees_troy ,i am using it right now ,but i am using the all in one tool ,that i have mentioned in my previous post - no errors ,no mistakes
Okay, I will try the TWRP 3.2.3 then, this is the only one I didn't try
What about magisk ?

Are you sure that you followed the procedure to install a custom rom? Can you tell which steps did you do? And about the error of MiFlash you can try with other version so there are many versions uploaded that don´t match well.

Hi !
I basically followed the procedure here: https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-recovery-root-xiaomi-mi-a2-a2-lite/
And then https://gmtechweb.com/resurrection-remix-v7-galaxy-s6/
Thanks for your time
Error 1 is for use official twrp, please read before, only twrp for custom ROMs is offain's twrp 3.3-1.0

Sorry I didn't undestand that at all
I will follow the ghitub step by step by using all pieces they provide. Only one thing, they give the Offain TWRP 3.3.0-0. Do you know where I can find the 3.3.3-1 you're all talking about ?

The first link did take me to any place and the second is for other completely different device, I don´t know why following a procedure for a device with a different scheme partition.
It could be that previously you must have a determined firmware as base before to flash any custom rom, in this case you have to flash it using MiFlash tool checking on "clean all" option (preferably)
The moves basically are these:
1.- Boot to twrp-daisy-3.3.1-0-offain.img using fastboot (just boot to, don´t flash it)
2.- Wipe system, dalvik/cache, data from the previous.
3.- In the case is indicated by developer Format data.
4.- Flash the desired rom.
5.- Flash the twrp-daisy-3.3.1-0-offain installer zip (it´s not the same that the boot image) you can use adb sideload or previously move the file to your external SDCard or then to format data transfer the file to your internal SDCard.
6.- Go to the main menu on TWRP and in reboot options change to the other slot from A to B and viceversa, then to switch reboot again to recovery.
7.- Now flash the Disable-Force-Encryption.
8.- In the case (most likely you want) Flash the GApps and flash Magisk at last, then reboot normally.
The links for TWRP are these:

Hi !
They are too many flashing procedures everywhere, it's a giant mess and it's really hard to find the proper one when we don't use to it
Anyway, I finally succeeded to properly install a custom ROM on my phone by using this procedure: https://github.com/tkchn/daisyinstall/blob/master/README.md
Everything is now working well, thank you all for your help, you saved my day
HELP! I am getting the same error message, i know what I need to do, download the Offain version of TWRP, but none of the links work! Android File Host DOES NOT WORK for some reason. Can someone upload these files somewhere else for me? Please? I have no other way of getting these files, they don't exist anywhere else on the web... I have already tried every other available versions of TWRP and am getting the same error message (1) as OP.

Download the stock rom (preferably 10.0.3.0) extract it along with adb and fastboot into the same folder, install the drivers, boot into fastboot, connect it to PC and run flash_all.bat and you should be back onto stock rom! If you want to install a custom rom follow this: github. com/tkchn/daisyinstall/blob/master/README.md
