I was running latest LineageOS nightly build with Official TWRP 2.8.7.0 before. Then I decided to try Unofficial TWRP (3.1.0 and then 3.0.2) & some nougat ROMs.
(1)Flashed recovery in fastboot, went OK.
(2)Flashed XPerience ROM & OpenGapps, went OK.
(3)Tried to wipe cache/dalvik, stuck forever.
(4)Manually rebooted, after boot animation i get stuck on a "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen, where i can only hit Reset Phone button which reboots into recovery wipe cache etc and then the whole cycle starts again.
Can someone suggest the easiest method to get my device functional again?
Also somewhere in between my internal storage was shown as 0MB, which I fixed by repairing data partition.
My phone is an XT-1060 Developer Edition.
You may need to re-flash to an older TWRP; I can say I have had similar issues with the unofficial 3.X.X releases, in my case mainly stemming from (according to the logs) something breaking and becoming unable to mount the Cache partition. Re-flashing the same version did not work, and a different 3.X version of TWRP would restore functionality for a bit, but then it would crop up again at some point (I couldn't even flash NAND backups, had to re-flash recovery first). Another issue is that there are only a couple of the unofficial releases available because that OP's hosting site went down (BasketBuild I think?). So I went back to the last official TWRP and MM for now, though if anyone has any recommendations to avoid/fix this, that would help a ton!
At the beginning, please forgive me the quality of my English.
Me and other friends using c6903 have posted on the forum about trouble with running Nougat ROMs:
- [ROM][7.1.X][27/07/17][STOCK-CAMERA][3.4 KERNEL][TESTING] LineageOS 14.1 - UNOFFICIAL
- [ROM] [7.1.2] [OMS] [OFFICIAL] [Honami] Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.3 [01/08/2017]
- [ROM] [7.1.2] [Substratum/OMS] [UNOFFICIAL] [Honami] Android Ice Cold Project 12.1
For example LinageOS 14.1.
I flashed build from 11/07 without any problems.
Everythings worked fine, but when i try to flash newest build I encountered a big problem.
Bootanimation continues 2-3 sec. and phone turn off [check plz video].
Then only the launch button was active.
Everything I do exactly the same as in 11/07 build.
Why rom can't run?
The situation applies to all the above versions.
Resurrection Remix Nougat from 28/06 booted fine too.
Newer versions not...
One of friends - MIcHiJK - suggested that this could be a problem with changing the screen for "fake".
Me and him changed screens probably for counterfeiting.
Maybe someone else did it and have this problem?
....but why build from 11/07 (LinageOS), 26/08 (RR) and 20/06 (ACIP) booted without any problems?? In my case change screen was earlier.
What have I done so far to solve the problem.
- used TWRP 3.0.0 and 3.0.2
- Always full wiped (a few times format internal storage using twrp too)
- flashed roms when using Cyanogenmod 12.1
- flashed roms when using stock .236
- restored software using EMMa and Flashtool, then root (kingroot), flashed twrp by fastboot, full wipe, flash rom - without result
- used others kernels referenced by creators roms (flashed after installation rom).
Nothing worked.
I know I'm not alone. Many guys have problem like me.
Is anyone able to give a solution?
May God bless guy which will solve our problems!

Hello to all ppl which had this problem.
Since I replace my broken original xperia z1 Display, I wasn´t able to boot any of the new Nougat rom releases.
I solved this problem with a new Kernel.
Super Lamic Posted this Kernel to test the Battery Life but with this Kernel the problem was solved and I was able to run the new Releases on my fake Display.
Kernel Link: https://mega.nz/#!RN1nFYRT!546WMDdM2ToJEeZlleKTjS-TdR54rkYiOGKUDDWQ-t0
Install new LineageOS build on your xperia z1 with TWRP 3.1 (with 3.0 it wasnt able to install the boot.img).
Before you reboot select images, boot and flash the boot.img.
Then the new build should run without problems.
On other roms like Resurrection Remix it endet in invinite boot so I was just able to run normal Lineage.
I hope it helped someone. Im still interested what the devs changed that causes this problem. And I hope there will be improvments in future that this problem wont happen anymore.
same problem for me like OP. Would be interesting whats the reason for this behaviour that some nougat roms don't run on phones with replaced display. for me some still run, but then i have the problem that recovery is not available.
For those wo will flash AICP maybe this solution will work in RR too.
In normal Lineage it worked when i flashed cm12.1 Nouagt Kernel after flashing LOS 14.1.
But for RR or AICP it ended in infinite boot. Here is how I managed to get it work.
1. Download AICP (Latest Version [2017/08/01]) then download AICP (Version 2017/06/20).
2. Delete 'boot.img' from the Latest Version zip and put the 'boot.img' from the older relase into the Latest
3. Boot into TWRP 3.1 or 3.0, Wipe all and flash your Latest AICP zip with the older boot.img.
4. Boot phone. The z1 will show you just the Sony Logo. I waited some Minutes and powered off with power + volume up.
5. Connect phone in fastboot mode on PC and flashed cm12.1 Nougat Kernel.
6. Type 'Fastboot Reboot', the phone Turns on with the newer Boot screen where xperia stands on the bottom. You will finally see AICP Boot Animation and after some time rom boots.

Just Install Recovery via Fastboot. If you dont know how to do this you need to set up android sdk. You will find many tutorials in the internet.

How did you installed the rom?
From which rom you came and which recovery did you used and how did you installed the recover?
different ways, but mostly with my standard custom-rom Tesla which is on Android 5.1.1. TWRP is on 3.1 which i install via cmd (fastboot flash recovery) cause build in recovery of tesla is broken.
Or i go over latest stock with dualrecovery, flash boot.img of the custom-rom (wich work) and then flash rom. but still recovery is gone after that.
@Aaskereija
I can tell you how I installed. I never lost my recovery. I came from xproject rom and I had nuts dual recovery. I flashed via fastboot advanced kernel, rebooted directly into inbuild TWRP 3.1, wiped all and flashed nougat rom. I had no recover so I flashed via fastboot official TWRP 3.0 and now I have a recovery. Since I installed TWRP one Time i never done it again. Everytime I flash a new rom it's still there. Maybe you try some different ways to install a nougat rom cuz it should work we all have the same device. Another question. Can you give me link to TWRP 3.1 for honami. I can't find TWRP 3.1 for z1 I used it just with advanced kernel. I just can find official TWRP on the internet witch is outdated
Guys, you don't have to create threads for this. I'll have an aftermarket display too, so I'll be forced to fix it anyway. And I have an idea what can be wrong...

Android Sdk put twrp.img in platform tools folder then open CMD in this foder, fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img.
I asked about twrp cuz in advanced kernel is TWRP 3.1 inbuild but I can't find just the twrp 3.1 IMG without kernel. Strange.
Hi everyone,
I'm new here though but am a Xiaomi user from the beggining of Xiaomi into devices with Redmi Note 3G Enhanced.
Currently, I own a Redmi 4X and I would like your expert lights please. I've flashed the latest twrp from twrp.me for my santoni device. Then flashed the latest build from LineageOS Official source + Gapps before booting up for first time. Everything was working perfectly until I decided to flash the latest update of LineageOS as I've seen in my updater it was released. So, I downloaded it through the updater and tried to flash it...
I came up with this "Failed to unmount /system (device or resource busy)" after that re-booted to LineageOS and everything was messed up with Google Services & Apps etc. Then I went back to twrp recovery and tried to flash again the rom but I was still getting that message so I understood something am doing wrong. Also santoni has dm-verity enabled which I know something about but just an info. I really wanna stick with LineageOS on my Redmi 4X forever but I'm afraid to flash it again. I've flashed MIUI 10 Beta by fastboot but now I wanna go back to LineageOS forever (addicted).
My only problem is: After successfuly flashing LineageOS and Gapps, I cannot apply (flash) updates to update the ROM to the latest nightly build due to this error above.
Kind regards,
peryson
Try with different recovery. For example with this

Instead of trying an unofficial recovery, do I have an option to unmount system manually before flashing through Official TWRP?

You can download latest Lineage OS build and dirty flash it (without any wipes) (so you can unmout system parition). And I don't see any issue in using unoffical twrp.
I also have experienced same error once during upgrade "failed to unmount /system"
Eventually I wiped everything and did clean flash from scratch. This is really annoying issue and demonstrates that upgrade system is not 100% reliable for some reason.
I'm not sure however is it Lineage or twrp issue.
Hey all
This is my first post on XDA and i actually created this account so i can get ur help guys
Im trying to install android Oreo on my device
I tried resurrection remix rom and lineage os latest version but i get the same error everytime.
I flash the rom successfully but after rebooting it takes too long at the loading screen (rr logo or linage logo) then suddenly reboots and enter the twrp screen automatically without pressing any buttons
I used many different versions of twrp starting from 3.0.0 and all upcoming versions
I tried installing the rom with these two methods
1- flashing the rom zip from the twrp recovery
2-flashing it using the adb sideload
Android Nougat works well with my phone, im currently using linage os latest version of Nougat
The problem seems to happen only with Oreo ?
I really need help installing this rom
I've been waiting so long for a reply
Can anyone help me? ?
Hi everyone
I recently tried installing AOSP/CM ROMs on SM-T800. Lineage 14.1 (and all derivatives) have issue with Netflix - it will stop playing after 1-5 min with cryptic error. Youtube Vanced will crash or freeze from time to time.
Clearly bad ROMs.
So I found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-5-2016-t700-t705-t800-t805.3219759/page-247
Cannot direct link - but it has 2 AOSP 6.0.1 downloads.
ROM itself works, but when I tried OpenGapps - weird freezes/errors started.
So here are steps to make it work:
Wipe data/system/cache, Flash AOSP 6.0.1 only in TWRP recovery, reboot, make sure it works.
Reboot into recovery, flash opengapps nano - I found some old ARM openGapps6nano from 2016 by googling. You can try newer, but not sure if it will work.
Reboot couple of times - you will see a lot of force closes.
Reboot into recovery and clean dalvik, data, cache. Keep system. Reboot.
Everything worked since for me - Netflix, Youtube Vanced, Amazon Prime Video.
