Hi all, a month ago decided to install LOS and I succeeded ! with Micro, Magisk and all wonderful stuff, recently tried to update like every normal user, September 8 won’t boot, September 12 won’t boot and today September 13 won’t boot ad well !! Im I doing anything wrong ? I follow the instructions, download, install, automatically reboot recovery, install then stuck on LOS logo animation for 5 minutes then the phone reboot to recovery again, good that I made some backups so I can restore the OS. any ideas? I am the only one having this issue ? I would be very grateful if someone can help.

LineageOS for microG, 20190908 build here. No problem (which wasn’t there before).
I’m not using Magisk, though.
LOS + microG, works great on latest update from monday 9th. Haven’t tried Magisk lately (it is annoying to reinstall it every time) but it worked a few months ago.
There was a 20190909 build with “userdebug” instead of “nightly” in the filename.
But there was only one place among the pages of the LineageOS website providing the link, and I can’t find it any more, perhaps it was taken offline.
The download page and the changelog never mentioned this build, so it’s probably better to forget about it 
.
Thank you Elk, jus
1- convert microG and other adds( Nominatim,Dejavu…) to user apps and update via Link2SD
2-update Lineage OS to the latest one.
3- boot, took time to check the SD card.
3-convert MicroG to system app.
4-reboot.
5-again stuck on LOS animation logo for few minutes and automatically reboot animation logo, bootloop !
I am sure that MicroG is the reason or maybe Magisk? Is there anyway (even painful way) to update LOS with MicroG installed ? I do not want to wipe everything and start a clean install…
TWRP 3.3.1.0
or should I just stick to my OS and never update it ?
thanks
I don’t know, as I don’t use regular LineageOS.
I’m using LineageOS for microG, a fork of the regular LineageOS where microG is conveniently built-in (which the regular LineageOS project didn’t want to do) and thus isn’t any trouble with updates.
I can understand that, but ultimately you should be prepared to do it.
Both microG and Magisk (at least as far as I understand, I don’t use Magisk) are changing stock Android significantly. Stuff can break.
If you do a clean start I might suggest you have a look at LineageOS for microG.
You can’t install LineageOS for microG over an installed regular LineageOS and vice versa.
Ok ! then should I do a clean install or dirty (with migration zip)?
should I delete MicroG from LOS before doing the migration to Lineage for Microg ?

As you don’t want to wipe, you could try the Dirty Install first.
I’m always in favour of a clean install, though.
Can you even do that if LineageOS doesn’t boot?
Anyway, try to backup as much as you can of your important data if it isn’t backed up or synced to somewhere else already. TWRP can help with that …
Hi,
1-Restore from backup to Lineage OS.
2- delete F droid and Microg + Nominatim …
3- Recovery boot, Sideload Install zip, Linage for MicroG Migration zip followed by Lineage for MicroG zip then addonsu then Magisk zip.
4- Reboot system = bootloop again.
5- Restore to previous Linage.
A clean Install is a full-time job !!!
Done ! I did wipe cash, system, data then reboot boot loader and refresh TWRP then reboot to recovery and sideload Lineage for MicroG then addonsu then Magisk, reborn boot loader and reflash TWRP then boot, this order worked for me, otherwise I have a boot loop, did not loose the apps but few from F-Droid which is now installed as a system app, no need for Fake Gapps anymore since Lineage for MicroG has a Signature spoofing, I lost Open Camera which was installed as a system app.SO it was so called a clean install, not migration from LOS. fingers crossed everything is working well for the last 2 hours. thank you all for help.

A small Update after restart I had a boo loop since I installed both addonsu and Magsik, I had to redo the hall thing without addonsu and it ok now.
