also you need a few modded hardware/qcom folders, until the kernel gets updated to play nice with caf sources:
audio-caf: https://github.com/touchpro/android_hardware_qcom_audio-caf
display-caf: https://github.com/touchpro/android_hardware_qcom_display-caf

Sorry if this is a noob question, but I have never had to do this before and I just wanted to clarify...To get these modded hardware/qcom folders, do I just need to flash the zip files from those links before I attempt to flash the rom?

Nope. Dont try to flash anything but the rom zip, gapps and supersu. Those are just dev trees that you would need for compiling this if you wanted to. Those links are stuff thats already integrated into building the rom zip so no need to worry about them unless your trying to build this or some other rom from source.

Can't wait to try this update...
i tried alpha 1 n 2 and neither wanted anything to do with data...
I called my voicemail no problem...
But, no net...no play store...
No glitches tho..all else kicked butt..

since your the maker/porter of this rom maybe you can help me? ever since i flashed this rom and restored a backup in twrp wifi and bluetooth haven't been working for me. even restoring with a kdz did not work but switching back to lineage it works fine.

i really have no clue bud. i havnt had that happen and havnt heard of it happening to anyone else yet.

what software version were you on before you flashed lineage? I was on v20k and the kernel and firmware in this rom are based off of v20k. If I were you I would try to find the v20k kdz and use LGUP to flash it, see if you can use the refurbish setting instead of upgrade, but obviously do whichever one it lets you. remember, i did say in the OP that you should probably be on v20k to avoid issues since I havnt had any being on that version before I flashed.

while your in the stock rom backup you took, you should use adb and see if /firmware/image/ exists and make sure that wcnss.b0* and wcnss.mdt exist. there should be like six entries in there that say wcnss.something. if they arent there, that could be the issue since those are firmware files for bluetooth and wifi and you might have to take them from lineage or another stock rom and place them there or in /vendor/firmware/ after making an insecure boot image for your stock rom that lets you remount system as rw.

i have wcnss.b0 wcnss.b01 wcnss.b02 wcnss.b04 wcnss.b06 wcnss.b09 wcnss.b011 wcnss.b0 and wcnss.mdt but still not working, also wouldent falshing a kdz from a diffrent device would cause a permabrick?

edit:to add i was on MS63110j before flashing

you wouldnt be flashing a kdz from a different device so no worries there. v20k is available to the ms631 too.

im going to 99% say that its being on a lollipop firmware and then flashing a marshmallow kernel that did it. i cant be 100% sure but im pretty positive thats the case. im not sure if you can go back to katana after flashing a v20k kdz but its worth it from a performance and security standpoint to be on marshmallow. xposed has been a godsend for our device and anything katana could do is available with xposed addons until i get data and double tap to wake figured out for lineage 13.

it looks like viperdink has v20k and even v20L available for the ms631 here: http://androidforums.com/threads/newest-metropcs-tmobile-6-0-kdz-firmware.1058637/

i would follow what he says to get to v20k

herminiachristian · Mar 13, 2017

there's really no way to use katana when i restore to 6.0? i really don't want to lose all my data

id flash back to katana and back up any data you can before you kdz to v20k. probably the only way your keeping the data and having working wifi/bluetooth.

remember, i did say right in the top of the thread that you should probably be on v20k before you flash to avoid any problems. lollipop firmware and marshmallow operating system really isnt a good combo to avoid problems. sorry i cant be of more assistance, let me know what happens.

you shouldnt have flashed a v10 anything kdz, especially after flashing a v20 something kdz and just about all the guides out there say that. you cant downgrade from v20 anything to v10 anything. pull the battery completely out of your phone. then put it back in. hold the volume up button and plug it into your computer and see if you can get to download mode, if so reflash v20k kdz.

trust me when i say, lollipop is worthless these days. marshmallow is the same as lollipop but with better memory and battery management. dont waste time on lollipop because i really hope you didnt just 9008 mode your phone because afaik there is no coming back from that.

my pc detects it as QHSUSB_BULK

yeah im going to say you bricked it from flashing a v10x kdz over a v20x kdz. it sounds like your in usb 9008 or 9006 mode which is way way way beyond what i know how to deal with. you cant downgrade any phone these days to earlier software. if i were you i would try to go to xda and ask around there, asialove and MrObvious have dealt with stuff like this before with varying levels of success.

your question just went way beyond the scope of this dev thread. i wish you luck, and make sure you know what your flashing in the future so you dont have this happen again.

let this be a lesson to everyone, NEVER EVER TRY TO DOWNGRADE STOCK FIRMWARE! ESPECIALLY WITH LG!

start here https://www.mylgphones.com/unbrick-...-smart-boot-diag-tool-all-lg-g3-variants.html and see if maybe you can modify the method they used for the lg g3 for the ms631. if you need any files that any of us can provide to try to fix it, let us know.

herminiachristian · Mar 13, 2017

where would i get the recovery files?
also i think i neefiles that end with mbn

Start a new thread or repurpose your old one so you can have all efforts focused there and o can keep this thread dedicated to lineage os. Your going to have to do some research and reading on google to figure out how to get those files. Once you do, post in your thread a method for us so we can try to get you files you need.

I forget if it's data or calling...

i didnt realize that when i fixed the notification led that i broke the battery led. so im rewriting the lights hal from the ground up. ill post more when i fix it.

whoshotjr2006 · Mar 15, 2017

semi fixed lights hal. first notification on boot will not light up right but next one will. battery light works now.

whoshotjr2006 · Mar 17, 2017

someone remind me to build and upload alpha 5. i dont want to call it a beta until data works. dt2w would be nice but its not a big concern right now.

"It has data..."

whoshotjr2006 · Mar 20, 2017

small update.

we are going to be switching to the nougat kernel for lineage os 13 also as it compiles with caf sources with no issues. it broke camera/video recording/torch but im working on fixing it, since once i fix it for 13 or 14.1 it will be fixed for both. weirdly enough rotation and compass work with this, so it cant be kernel related in 14.1.

it saves a lot of effort and hassle since i dont have to keep switching back and forth between bases (13 to 14.1, then back to 13, blech) and we can just focus on one device tree set to fix our issues.

no real headway on data yet, and double tap to wake is a giant pain in my ass.

ill keep the download up for alpha 4 since it has working camera/recording/flash until i get those issues ironed out in this base.

once we have one working source for both lineage 13 and 14.1, im going to delete the old repos on github that we wont need anymore like hardware_qcom and lineage 13 specific device and vendor trees.

i repeat, the sources (device, vendor and kernel) in the op now are what I want everyone trying to build (if there is anyone but me) to focus on

CYCONUMNUM · Mar 23, 2017

I'm gonna explode

dBugg · Mar 29, 2017

this rom is dope but i get this demigod error "HW Reset" everytime i flash gapps.. i tried open gapps 6.0 micro and slim gapps 6.0

dBugg · Mar 29, 2017

and my firmware is v20l.. i figured since im not on v20k, thats the issue but idk.. can i downgrade to v20k?
