HELP!!! I fucked up my OP6 again trying to install Lineage 17.1.

I was running Oxygen Pie and folloqed steps .. Flashed Lineage Recovery 20200609

And then the rom but just boots into Fastboot now.

I'm guessing it's bc I didn't first install Oxygen 10 and upgrade the firmware?

Not though I'm trying to sideload the zip but it keeps stopping at Signature Verification failed.... Even though I said override...

    @theKarlisK I can adb sideload, only recovery is there LineageOne but it's refusing to install Oxygen... bc of some signature verification failing.. even though I told it I don't care...

    @theKarlisK Well I'm trying to flash the stock rom now but the Recovery won't let me.

    And not sure which OS now. I tried Fastboot boot twrp.img but just freezes.

    Not sure if that's the right and though. Not sure if I should use flash boot ... That just makes it permanent installed in boot partition? I don't want to brick it any further?

    @Haxk20 So continuing from my original post, I try to restore OOS by ADB sideload Oxygen22 OTA 45 zip using the LineageRecovery 17.1 20200609.

    Even thought Lineage didn't work, there's Fastboot and can go into Lineage Recovery.

    But when I do the sideload of OOS, it says signature, I say fine, continue. Then it says this is a downgrade. Again Ok.

    But then it stops with error: signature verification failed.

    In this recovery there is no glibal option to disable it like TWRP

    @Haxk20 Yea I did flash Lineage 17.1 before but went back to OOS for other reasons so thought it would be easy but last time I was still using TWRP.

    And I think I did a dirty install, so didn't do a full wipe.

    This time I followed Lineage all the way and well now their recovery is being a b*****

    @theKarlisK You can actually do fastboot boot recovery.img!

    @linuxxx not dinner Android 10... All images just fail our freeze on boot .... Seems need to be installed on recovery but I don't wanna screw up recovery.

    Though since fastboot can flash not an issue not... But I didn't know it remember that

    Ok I got Lineage 16 installed... seems LOS Recovery had no problem with that..

    But it really hates me trying to overwrite it with OOS....

    @billgates How does it hate you? Also, make sure to do a full wipe in recovery before flashing!

    @linuxxx this whole rant describes that? The official rom fails LOS Recovery's signature verification but telling it to install anyway still fails... because signature verification

    @Haxk20 where do you get the flash all bats?

    @Haxk20 ah ok, so need to download from that site not there one from OPO, it just has payload.

    But now I just tried fastboot flash and it works!

    So let's see... Do I really installing Lineage 17.1 now? At least now I'm explored all possible way it fails?

    @billgates last time i had a device that was flashable i had to update the bootloader to go from gingerbread to ics... why can't it just be simple anymore? I don't wanna have to pay $50 or more to get a code for the cheapest phone I can manage to get to work just so i can have it on-hand but *nooo* i have to go through 18 extra steps and a third-party or three to get a code to allow me to do anything.

    @Haxk20 My absolute best-case phone constraints:

    AT&T under $100 total with no monthly pay, no new plan discount.

    @Haxk20 "just buy a better phone lmao" With what money?

    @Haxk20 they either break or fail 1-2 years in average, even the only expensive phone i've ever had has done that, and i dunno if you noticed but there's both a pandemic and major unrest in my country.

    So, again.

    Save what money?

    @Haxk20 LG G4, y'know, that one model of LG phone where the QA and solder jobs were so shit that almost every single one ever made was defective?

    The only expensive phone I've ever had, and i got it new too...
